Online Game: Start as a Godslayer, Get Stronger by Killing Monsters

There are 96 days left until the game's release.

But in the villa of a certain god-killer, there was not a trace of tension at this moment.

After a leisurely wash and brush of the teeth, it was time for breakfast.

Luo Qingge picked up her phone and glanced at it.

[Dear Father: You don't need to worry about the company. Enjoy your honeymoon with Xiaoye, but please be careful.]

[Father: Don't let this lead to someone getting killed!]

"snort!"

Looking at the news about her father, she thought of Lin Ye's "disappointing" performance last night.

After Luo Qingge finished snorting and replying to the message, she glared fiercely at Lin Ye.

Then Lin Ye stuffed a fried egg into his mouth.

I've had breakfast.

The two returned to the game room hand in hand.

In the past, Luo Qingge would definitely have complained, "Hey, Lin Ye, do you really spend all day playing games?"

But now...

"Hurry, hurry! I haven't even had a chance to see what the Phoenix Heart effect was like yesterday!" Luo Qingge urged, then eagerly lay down in the game pod.

Not long after.

Two figures appeared in the Frostfall City Square.

It was Luo Qingge and Lin Ye.

Luo Qingge immediately opened her panel and began browsing the so-called Phoenix Heart.

"Wow! I've gained so much health! And there are special buffs too. Not only am I immune to all types of burns, but the more I burn and the more fire-attribute equipment I have, the higher my attack power becomes!"

Seeing Luo Qingge's excited expression, Lin Ye couldn't help but smile and said, "That's not all. When you become a Phoenix Knight, you'll be even more powerful."

Hearing that she could become even stronger, Luo Qingge's eyes lit up. Then, as if she had thought of something, she asked, "Then can I be stronger than you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye glanced at his own panel and reassured him, "Maybe in the future."

Luo Qingge was not buying it, and just as she was about to speak, her gaze was suddenly drawn to the surging crowd around her.

"What are they doing?"

Lin Ye looked up as Luo Qingge spoke.

Beside Frostfall City, what was once a luxurious restaurant is now surrounded by countless paladins maintaining order, transformed into...

"Hurry, hurry! If we're any slower, we'll miss the auction!"

A hurried player urged his companion on.

However, his companion wasn't very interested. He shrugged and replied, "Look at you, you only have a pittance on you. Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd find something good inside."

"Can't I just go in and broaden my horizons?" The impatient player rubbed his hands together and continued, "Besides, there's no harm in taking a look."

"Alright, it won't take much time anyway, I might as well take a look." His companion agreed.

Watching the two walk together, Lin Ye withdrew his gaze.

But then, his clothes were tugged.

"Brother Lin Ye~" Luo Qingge hugged his arm and pleaded, "Take me with you to see the world too~"

"The Phoenix Sanctuary isn't fully explored yet; there are still six, seven, eight, and nine levels to go." Lin Ye shook his head and continued, "You still need to complete your class advancement."

Luo Qingge persisted, pleading, "Oh, please, it won't take much time. Besides, judging from your expression, even if I complete the job change, in your eyes it won't make much difference to how I am now, right?"

"No, that's just no." Lin Ye's attitude was very firm, which made Luo Qingge grit her teeth.

But suddenly, her eyes darted around, her face flushed slightly, and she pried Lin Ye's head off, whispering something in his ear.

Lin Ye's expression was quite interesting after hearing this.

Then, he took a step back and looked at Luo Qingge with a very complicated expression.

"You little rascal, you're pretty...open-minded."

She looks quite different from Luo Qingge.

But that's normal.

After all, Luo Qingge only reveals her "demonic" side, which is different from her graceful appearance, to Lin Ye.

"Hurry, hurry! It'll be too late if we don't get there now!"

Luo Qingge ignored Lin Ye's complicated gaze, and simply pulled Lin Ye along, striding into the restaurant that had been decorated as an auction.

Just as he reached the door, the paladin in charge of maintaining order nodded to Lin Ye.

Then, one of the paladins spoke up and reminded him, "Your contributions to Frostfall City are evident to all. You may enter the same VIP box as the organizers."

This is the benefit of high reputation; as long as Lin Ye is in Frostfall City, he enjoys privileges everywhere.

Lin Ye first thanked him, then asked, "Thank you, but could you tell me who organized this auction?"

"I inform you that it is the Mad Dragon Guild," the paladin replied honestly.

Lin Ye nodded and continued to press, "Since the Mad Dragon Guild is hosting the auction, why are you here to maintain order?"

The paladin sighed and explained, "Sir, that guild somehow obtained a license to create an auction house. If they use this license to create an auction house, then no matter where it is, the local guards will need to maintain order, and we are no exception."

"I see."

Lin Ye thanked her and then led Luo Qingge to the VIP room.

As soon as the two entered, gasps of amazement rose from the crowd below.

"Wow! Look, a big shot has joined the fray!"

"Indeed, they're the only ones besides the Mad Dragon Guild to get into the VIP box, right?"

"I'll let you do it! This is going to be interesting."

Not only them, but also Kuanglong and Lieyang, who were in another VIP box, frowned and muttered, "What kind of force is this? The number one in the world? No way, the world guild should be attacking the dungeon with the wind and snow guild right now."

He didn't have time to think.

Boom-!

The auction began after a loud chime of a bell.

A glamorous woman came to the center and displayed the first item up for auction.

"A hundred-year-old Power Fruit. Consuming it will greatly increase your strength and enhance your attack power. Starting bid: five gold coins!"

The words were spoken.

In the VIP box, Mad Dragon and Blazing Sun immediately offered: "Fifty gold coins!"

That's right, the organizers can also participate.

"Holy crap! As expected of the Mad Dragon Guild, they're really going all out, ten times the usual amount?"

"That's right. You don't even know their strength. They're the ones who organize this auction."

Logically speaking, with the Tianxia Guild and Fengxue Guild absent, there's no one who can compete with him.

only......

"I want this!" Luo Qingge tugged at Lin Ye's arm.

After all, her stats are in a terrible state now since she was accidentally killed by Lin Ye last time.

Lin Ye glanced at his backpack.

Yes, there shouldn't be any risk of insufficient funds.

Then, a voice fell:

"Two hundred gold coins."

The words were spoken.

The entire room fell silent.

Then, it became as noisy as a vegetable market.

"Holy crap? Did I hear that right? How much did he say?"

"Two hundred gold coins... My god, if I had that many gold coins, why would I even bother buying Power Fruits? I'd exchange them all for real money, achieve financial freedom instantly, and reach the pinnacle of life!"

Kuanglong and Lieyang's pupils shrank sharply as they instantly realized, "That voice... it's that brat."

It's him again?!

This is fucking bizarre!

The henchman quickly reassured him, "Boss, don't be angry."

"I know, I know," Kuanglong and Lieyang said, trying to control their emotions.

After letting out a long sigh, he continued, "Anyway, the purpose of this auction is to cover for Brother Ye, so I must calm down..."

And does that guy think he has unlimited coins and is playing a hacked version?

One Power Fruit costs two hundred gold coins.

Let's see if you can afford the next thing.

"The next item for auction is a special piece of equipment called the Camouflage Veil. As the name suggests, it can conceal one's appearance and allow one to disguise oneself as someone else. Starting bid: 80 gold coins!"

This is practically essential for murder and arson!

Upon hearing this, Kuanglong and Lieyang laughed: "Heh, I knew it, the real treasures were yet to come."

However, he was about to call out a price.

It was that indifferent voice again: "Two thousand gold coins."

Damn! Are you going to play or not?
