Chapter 22: Preparations Before the Second Class Advancement

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In his hazy sleep, Ye Tianyu heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

He felt someone cover him with a blanket and left quietly.

Ye Tianyu squinted his eyes and saw that Xu Wenmeng’s room was still lit up. After realizing that there was nothing else, she went back to sleep.

He slept the whole time until the next morning.

When he woke up, he found breakfast on the dining table and a bowl of steaming hot milk.

There was a note on the table.

On it was a drawing of a cute little figure sleeping soundly, seemingly having a sweet dream.

There was a sentence at the bottom of the note.

“Brother Yu, I’m going to school!”

“Xu Wenmeng, that girl, she drew me so cutely… Seriously.” He smiled and shook his head.

On the way back to City H the day before, Ye Tianyu had already finished checking most of his gains.

After breakfast, he opened the interface.

[Name: Ye Tianyu]

[Dark Tyrant]

[Class: Dark Magic Summoner]

[Class Advancement: Once]

[Summoning Soldier: Special Commander: × 1, Advanced Warrior × 80]

(Every soldier summoned will consume mana points according to the corresponding soldier’s strength.)

[Mana Points: 399/1300]: Still recovering…

[Spatial Backpack], [Equipment Toolbar] [Class Information] (Expand to look inside).

…

There were a lot of items stored in the spatial backpack, and the number of summoned soldiers had been updated.

The only pity was that in order to take down the ultimate Boss last time, the weak summoned soldiers were all used up.

[Ding! Detected that host’s soldier lineup has met the requirements. Second Class Advancement mission triggered.]

[After completing the Class Advancement mission, you may then proceed with Class Advancement.]

[Mission: A dilapidated village]

When Ye Tianyu checked the items in his spatial backpack, a few new notifications popped up on the interface.

It showed the location of the hidden dungeon.

“If I became a dark magic summoner after the first class advancement, then what about after the second class advancement?” Ye Tianyu was looking forward to it.

He wasn’t in a hurry to head to the hidden dungeon. He planned to rest for a few days.

He had a large number of items obtained from conquering the dungeon. He decided to convert the items into money and exchange them for useful equipment.

He realized his shortcomings when he was conquerring the Grade A Dungeon.

That was the issue with his mana points being too low.

Imagine how terrifying it would be if he suddenly realized that he did not have enough mana points when up against a powerful enemy.

Therefore, his priority was to increase his mana points at all costs.

The first thing he thought of was to enhance his equipment to increase his mana points.

“But I can’t go to the Mutant Association. The security officers of the Mutant Association had noticed the Grade A Dungeon… It’s foolish to go there to exchange for equipment.”

“Then, I can only think of a way to go to that place.” Ye Tianyu was deep in thought.

A moment later.

He made a call and changed into a new set of clothes before leaving the apartment.

…

On a prosperous street in City H.

There were many people walking on the streets, but Ye Tianyu recognized the person he was looking for at a glance.

“Li Qingqing, over here.”

A young girl wearing a casual skirt and sunglasses slowly turned her head when she heard the voice.

It was Li Qingqing from the Spiritual Team.

The two chatted as they found a cafe to sit down.

As soon as they sat down, Li Qingqing smiled and said, “Hey! Didn’t we just meet yesterday? Why are you so eager to call me out?”

“Did you miss me?”

After interacting with him in the dungeon, Ye Tianyu had a rough idea of this girl’s eccentric personality.

Therefore, he didn’t pay attention to Li Qingqing’s words and directly expressed his intentions.

“Do you know about any mutant black market?”

When Li Qingqing heard the word “black market”, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

The origin of the so-called black market was very mysterious.

It was said that there were all sorts of goods there. Even Grade S items were illegally sold there.

The amount of transactions conducted there every day was no less than that of the Mutant Association’s auction house.

To put it simply, the black market was a market that conducted transactions in secret.

In that place, as long as one had money, anything could be used for transactions. Furthermore, many of the transactions were items that could not be seen in public.

The Mutant Association often tried to arrest the black market, but strangely, the black market did not disappear. Instead, it had become more popular over the past two years.

The reason why Ye Tianyu wanted to look for the black market was firstly to sell the items in his hands, and secondly, he hoped to find suitable items and equipment.

He had to make sufficient preparations for the next Class Advancement mission.

Ye Tianyu, who had never come into contact with the black market, thought of asking Li Qingqing for help.

Although the other party was only a Grade C+healing mutant, she had been with the Spiritual Team for a long time. Perhaps, he could find out the location of the black market from her.

Li Qingqing confirmed with him, “You’re going to the black market…”

“Yes!” Ye Tianyu nodded.

“Oh! That’s not a good place.” Li Qingqing put down the coffee in her hand as if she had encountered a problem.

“What’s wrong? Could it be that even you don’t know where it is?” Ye Tianyu said with a frown.

If he couldn’t gain any information from Li Qingqing, then he could only ask Victor Li.

Of course, if there was no need, he did not want Victor Li to know about this. After all, he could tell that Victor Li was already suspicious of him.

There was a moment of silence.

Li Qingqing nodded with a sly smile on her face. “Alright! Since you have treated me to coffee, I can tell you where the black market is.”

“But… you have to bring me along. How about it?”

Upon hearing that the other party could bring him into the black market, Ye Tianyu agreed without any hesitation.

The black market was actually not located in City H. It was located in the middle area between City H and City L.

Although it was called a black market, it was more like an independent force.

Because of the existence of the black market, many items obtained through inappropriate means would be sold here.

Coincidentally, the black market was the busiest these two days.

It was said that more than 10 black market businessmen had jointly held an auction. Not only were there high-grade equipment, there were also many precious skill books…

Both high-level equipment and skill books were very desirable to mutants.

Therefore, after the news of the auction spread, it caused a stir among the mutants nearby.

Soon, a large number of mutants were all rushing to the black market.
