Chapter 425 (2/2)
An enhanced Rank 9 Health Potion that heals 3500 HP in one go? That's amazing!
I said, ”Tsk tsk, Rank 9 Health Potions? Sun Qingqing's Alchemy skill must be close to Rank 10 now, right?”
”Yep.”
Lin Yixin nodded. ”In fact, it's already at Rank 10. Unfortunately, I'm currently stuck finding a place that grows Rank 10 herbs, or we would be making Rank 10 Health Potions already, the kind of stuff that heals 5000 HP in one go. With pots like these you can't die unless you're actively trying to kill yourself…”
”Hehe, well, keep up the good work. I'm searching for Rank 10 food ingredients myself.”
”Oh? What kind of food ingredient is it?”
”Dragon Meat. I'm going to slay a dragon and become a dragon slayer!” I raised the Heaven-stealing Sword to the air and declared heroically.
But Lin Yixin only shot me a ridiculing look. It was almost as if she was staring at a pile of dragon dung, not me. She said, ”I see. Well, good luck…”
”Yep, see you later, and thanks for the pots! Also, if either one of us strikes it rich, remember to call and treat the other to a meal!”
”Actually, I'm free tonight…”
”I'm not though. Well, maybe. If everything goes well in this new map I'll call you, but if you don't hear from me after 5 then don't wait for me.”
”Okay. Byeee~”
……
I turned around and walked past the gates. When I looked back, I was surprised to see Lin Yixin still standing there and looking at me, so I sent her a message asking, ”What's wrong? You don't want me to leave?”
”What are you talking about? I'm reading the forums.”
f.u.c.k, I definitely read too much into things there...
I stewed in embarra.s.sment, but before I turned around, I saw Lin Yixin waving me goodbye and smiling at me. Then, she vanished into a corner of the city.
Finally embarking on my journey, I summoned the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf and started running toward my destination. One of my goals was to Level it to 115 as soon as possible. Although pets were banned in the Who Will Rise tournament, the same couldn't be said for guild wars or city battles. A pet's strength was part of its master's strength, so I needed to strengthen the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf as soon as possible.
As I pa.s.sed through Sky Forest, countless random players sent me party invites in hopes of the slim chance that I would join them. They might not be able to see my level, but they could definitely see my equipment and my pet. There were a lot of players who were staring at me with fear, respect, and even greed. They were probably too afraid to attack me though.
It was at this moment Li Chengfeng sent me a message: ”Lu Chen, did you check the rankings yet? There's a new 'Player Power Ranking' now!”
”Oh? Player Power Ranking? What does that mean?”
”It's a ranking that adds up a player's current equipment, skills, pet, mechanical finesse, PvP records and so on, basically everything except levels, to calculate one's overall power. It's a pretty fair ranking all things considered, and you are the number one player on the list!”
”f.u.c.k, I was hoping to keep a low profile…”
”It'll definitely be harder for you to keep a low profile now.”
……
I went through the rankings and found a new tab as Li Chengfeng said. As expected, I was ranked first on China's power ranking—

……
I had to admit that this ranking was more reliable than the actual CGL Hall of Fame ranking. All ten players listed in this ranking were top-tier, if not the current Top 10 best players of the entire China. Maybe it was because Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls beat Candle Dragon in Who Will Rise, but I was surprised to find myself ranked above Candlelight Shadow.
The Fruit Knife G.o.ddess was ranked third, and the super mage of Wind City, Luo River G.o.d of the Capital, was ranked fourth. As it turned out, the unpredictable and invisible a.s.sa.s.sin Farewell Song was ranked higher than Li Chengfeng, Little Piglet, and Purple Marquis. It was an incredible achievement because they were all metal-armor melee fighters, so technically, they should be the bane of the a.s.sa.s.sin cla.s.s. This praise also extended to Moonkiss who was also an a.s.sa.s.sin. Finally, Beiming Xue was the only archer to make it into the power ranking.
Clearly, the guild with the most players in this power ranking technically had the biggest advantage in the battle between elites. This advantage would be especially obvious in a tournament like Who Will Rise.
……
I continued running toward the horizon while checking out the ranking. One and a half an hour later, I realized that I had actually crossed to the other side of Dragonbone Mountain Range. When I reached the foot of the mountain, my war boots rapped against a barren ground. I had officially arrived at Cretaceous Plains!
