Seeing Lin Yi's response, Famous Clan Cool-to-the-Core couldn't wrap his head around it for a moment,
"What do you mean?"
Lin Yi:
"Don't you want the first kill of the 'Jungle Secret Realm'? How much are you willing to pay for this first kill?"
This time, Famous Clan Cool-to-the-Core finally understood, but his face was filled with shock.
"Are you saying you can help us secure this first kill of the instance?"
This guy isn't pulling my leg, is he?
Lin Yi wasn't bothered by Famous Clan Cool-to-the-Core's skepticism, but instead confidently stated:
"As long as the price is right, I guarantee this first kill will be yours, Famous Clan's."
Lin Yi wasn't foolish enough to turn away money that was handed to him.
Famous Clan Cool-to-the-Core calmed his excitement,
"Alright, name your price. As long as we get the first kill of this instance, any amount will do."
The thought of slapping those veteran guilds in the face made Famous Clan Cool-to-the-Core secretly delighted.
It seemed that from the beginning, Famous Clan Cool-to-the-Core never doubted the truth of Lin Yi's words, which made him feel quite incredible.
At this moment, Lin Yi was wondering how much to charge.
Just for a basic instance's first kill, would asking for 100,000 be too much?
Probably not too much.
After all, they spent tens of thousands on equipment alone.
Just as Lin Yi was hesitant about whether 100,000 was too much, over there, Famous Clan Cool-to-the-Core, seeing no reply from Lin Yi for a long time, made a bold move,
"How about 500,000?"
"Pfft~~"
That's highway robbery!
Even though he wasn't the one being robbed, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a twinge.
The world of the wealthy is truly beyond the understanding of ordinary mortals like me.
Lin Yi quietly deleted the 'just 100,000' from the input box, one by one.
Then, Famous Clan Cool-to-the-Core chimed in again,
"How about a flat rate, one million!"
"If you think brothers can manage, let's make the deal right away. If it's not enough, I'll add more."
Damn capitalism!
Lin Yi readily agreed,
"As you said, one million it is. Contact me after level 10. It's a five-man instance; you can decide who to bring."
Famous Clan Cool-to-the-Core:
"Got it, got it. I've already transferred the money to your account; Feng Bro, please check it."
Feng Hua:
"Alright, I'll wait for your message."
......
It wasn't until he ended the call with Famous Clan Cool-to-the-Core that Lin Yi realized what real wealth looked like!
Originally planning to enter the instance solo, Lin Yi had to dismiss the idea.
Since personal instances were on the other side, taking more than half a day to reach, Lin Yi was too lazy to go back and forth.
With nothing else to do, he decided to grind monsters and level up.
Just right, there were 13-level Demonized Cloud Leopards around the instance.
Monsters starting from level ten not only drop varying amounts of coins, but also have a chance to drop [Exclusive] equipment.
This [Exclusive] equipment is a special type with dedicated slots.
Take the Demonized Cloud Leopards in front of him, for example…
Lin Yi immediately began searching among the herd of Cloud Leopards.
Surprisingly, these leopards almost always drop one or two whiteboard pieces of equipment, and occasionally a few would drop rare blue gear.
But Lin Yi ignored those and his eyes lit up when he noticed an unremarkable figure among the leopards,
"You're the one."
"Arcane Missile"
"Bang!"
"-367"
What terrifying damage.
Mind you, Lin Yi had just reached level ten!
Generally speaking, a level ten mage dealing over a hundred damage to a Cloud Leopard is already considered quite good.
This is thanks to the bonus from a few Epic Level pieces of equipment Lin Yi wore, truly abnormal.
The leopard, suddenly attacked, roared as it charged at Lin Yi.
Once the skill cool-down time ended,
"Arcane Missile"
"Bang!"
"-341"
Another high damage number floated up, and the Cloud Leopard's health began to turn red.
Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh; using instant-cast magic was truly satisfying.
Now this is what a mage should be like!
Without the cast-time action for spells, there was much more room for maneuver and expression.
Just as the leopard's sharp claws were about to reach Lin Yi,
"Instant Teleportation"
Lin Yi vanished into thin air, reappearing a short distance away. Seizing the moment when the leopard paused, another Arcane Missile took it down, depleting its health bar.
The Cloud Leopard howled and fell, dropping two pieces of equipment and some coins, along with the item Lin Yi wanted,
Gale Sharp Claws
Demonized Cloud Leopard [Exclusive]
Speed +5
Usage Level: 10
Additional Attributes: When using close combat weapons to deal damage to a target, has a 30% chance to trigger a Defense-ignoring Tearing effect, losing 10 health per second, lasting 10 seconds.
Clearly, this exclusive equipment belonged to close combat professions. Lin Yi would equip it to increase his speed by 5 points; not useless, better than nothing.
Then Lin Yi began to search the leopards again, but it seemed none were dropping exclusives.
They say the exclusive drop rate is very low, and this was apparent.
Seeing that he still had several pieces of equipment he got from Newbie Village, with nothing better to do, Lin Yi comfortably stayed to grind monsters.
It was a good way to level up while collecting equipment.
An hour and a half later…
Not only did Lin Yi level up to 11 with ease, but all his equipment looked brand new.
Wise Man's Robe Lv10 - Rare
Sylvie's Cloak Lv3 - Rare
Magic Trousers Lv5 - Rare
Punishment Treasure Pearl (Sealed) Lv10 - Epic
Delicate Gloves Lv9 - Rare
Gorgeous Belt Lv8 - Rare
Wise Man's Hood Lv10 - Rare
Celestial Wind Boots Lv4 - Epic
Heart of Compassion of Fenam Lv5 - Epic
Ruby Necklace Lv11 - Ordinary
Gale Sharp Claws Lv10 - [Exclusive]
Just as Lin Yi was about to check his attributes after changing equipment, he sensed something amiss,
"There's a thief!"
Lin Yi closed the attributes panel, holding his breath and listening carefully.
Soon enough, he detected a figure moving under stealth.
Perhaps in his rebirth, Lin Yi was not particularly powerful in all aspects and might not even match some Elite Corps members in strength.
But let's not forget, it's still the early stages of the game, 'Glory of the Gods.'
Almost everyone hadn't yet transitioned from the fixed mindset of traditional online games.
In contrast, compared with these newcomers to 'Glory of the Gods,' Lin Yi had over three years of experience.
Did one think stealth meant invisibility?
Remember, this claimed to simulate 99% of reality!
Stealth merely plays tricks on light to deceive the eye, without any actual change occurring.
The sound from movement, tense breathing, even the wind can betray one's presence.
This thief was undoubtedly a newbie, thinking once stealth was on, no one could spot him.
While moving, he had no intention to conceal himself, making noise with every step on the grass.
Lin Yi grinned playfully, thinking the mantis thought he was the predator, unaware he had become the 'prey' of the oriole.

Divine Hall Red Fox:
"President, I've spotted Feng Hua here. Should I take action?"
Divine Hall Madman:
"Can you handle it?"
Divine Hall Red Fox:
"I've got this, no problem at all."
Divine Hall Madman:
"Just be careful, I'm trusting you this time."
