Chapter 42: Jailbreak
It had been nearly a month since Lin Yun entered the mission scenario.
In less than a month, Lin Yun and Xiao Leng’s relationship developed rapidly. In Lin Yun’s eyes, the lively and lovely Xiao Leng was like his own biological sister.
As Xiao Leng continued to kill magical beasts, she finally reached Level 6. The familiar voice prompted:
“Xiao Leng’s level up requirements have been met. The character will automatically level up.
Xiao Leng
Level 6
EXP: 0/320
HP: 100/100
Spirit Points: 100/100
Physical Attack: 10
Spiritual Attack: 10
Physical Defense: 10
Spiritual Defense: 10
Speed: 10
Sensory: 10
Luck: 10
Affection: 80”
“The Queen’s Glory.
Chapter 1, The Queen’s Teacher.
Mission completed: The Queen will remember the mysterious teacher she had at the age of 6 her entire life. That month was the warmest memory of her life.
Mission Reward:
EXP: 200
Spirit Rejuvenation Potion: 1.”
This time, Lin Yun did not skip any of the contents of the prompts. He quickly checked the Spirit Rejuvenation Potion.
“Spirit Rejuvenation Potion: After use, it will clear all negative statuses and restore Spirit Point to 500.”
“Restoring Spirit Point seems useless for me. I don’t even know how to use Spirit Strength. However, its ability to clear negative status is powerful.” Lin Yun thought to himself and called up his personal attributes.
“Lin Yun:
Level 6
EXP: 289/320
HP: 303/303
Spirit Points: 196/196
Physical Attack: 36
Spiritual Attack: 14
Physical Defense: 31
Spiritual Defense: 14
Speed: 25
Sensory: 28
Luck: 18
Active Skill: Stacking Skill
Passive Skill: Sensory Elevation, Spiritual Elevation”
Looking at his attributes, Lin Yun was taken aback. Like Xiao Leng, he was also at Level 6. But his attributes were so much higher than Xiao Leng’s! In particular, his Spirit Points were almost 200. Level 3 Spiritual Strength should be 100 Spirit Points. Normally, Level 4 Spiritual Strength was twice that of Level 3 Spiritual Strength. Did that not mean his Spiritual Strength was about to reach Level 4?
However, after a little calculation, Lin Yun suddenly understood why. Xiao Leng’s attribute bonus gave him an additional 80 Spiritual Points. He was once more made aware that this queen’s boost was very powerful.
“Mission completed. You may choose to leave or stay in the quest scene.”
After the message prompt for the completion of the quest came, Lin Yun was very happy and quickly asked, “How long can I stay in this scene?”
“According to the calculation of time compression, you can stay in this scene for 33 days. The character will automatically exit upon reaching the date or in the event of accidental death.”
Great! Lin Yun was couldn’t wait to leave this place. It was a treasure trove for EXP. Thirty-three days was enough for him to level up a few times.
With this thought, Lin Yun asked Xiao Leng, “Do you have a way to contact your Aunt? Ask her to come here.”
Xiao Leng nodded and took out a jewelry box. There was a blue gem in the jewelry box. As she muttered to herself, the gem gradually emitted a faint blue light.
“Isn’t this the blue gem from the prologue? The quest introduction said it was an artifact, but I didn’t expect to have a contact function.” Lin Yun looked at Xiao Leng’s movements and thought about it.
After a while, the Holy Maiden appeared out of nowhere. She saw Xiao Leng’s road-weary appearance with torn clothes and bruises on her body. An unhappy expression appeared on her face. Then, she shouted in surprise, “My God, Xiao Leng. Your Physical Strength and Spiritual Strength have actually reached Level 3 in less than a month!”
The Planet Raiders really had incredible power! The Holy Maiden was very shocked and hurriedly bowed to Lin Yun. “My Lord, you must have been put out during this time. Since you have called for me, may I know what instructions my Lord has for me?”
Lin Yun smiled. “Since Xiao Leng has met my requirements, I will leave for now. I hope you can provide me with a detailed map of the Blue Snow Planet.”
The Holy Maiden took out an electronic map from her spatial wristwatch and gave it to Lin Yun. She smiled and said, “Before coming to this planet, I prepared a few more maps. But I didn’t expect them to come in handy for you, My Lord.”
“Big Brother, are you leaving already?” Xiao Leng’s was full of reluctance. Her eyes filled with tears, which threatened to overflow anytime.
Lin Yun looked at Xiao Leng’s sad expression and quickly comforted her. “Big Brother has to do something and I must leave. I will come to look for you again after some time.”
“When will Big Brother come back?” Xiao Leng asked anxiously. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said, “Xiao Leng will be good, Xiao Leng will not cry. Big Brother will come back to see me sooner.”
That touched a tender place in Lin Yun’s heart. He patted Xiao Leng’s head and said with a smile, “When Xiao Leng grows up, Big Brother will come to see you.”
Having said that, he turned around and walked deep into the woods. Behind him, Xiao Leng was still looking at his back, unwilling to leave.
Once Lin Yun left, the Holy Maiden quickly asked, “Xiao Leng, what have you been doing the past few days, how did your power improve so much, so fast?”
Xiao Leng’s mood was a little bleak. She replied, distracted, “I just ate and slept and killed magical beasts. Big Brother’s cooking is delicious.”
Xiao Leng’s casual words stirred up an uproar in the Holy Maiden’s heart. “Could the Planet Raider be a Pharmacist as well? He put potions that increased power into Xiao Leng’s food, helping to boost her power?! In less than a month, Xiao Leng’s power has doubled with no side effects at all. How high are his pharmaceutical skills?”
The Holy Maiden had thought that she had overrated Lin Yun. But at this time, she couldn’t help but raise Lin Yun’s evaluation up another notch. She looked at Xiao Leng, who looked despondent, and couldn’t help but say, “You’re blessed to have found such a Big Brother.”
Lin Yun said goodbye to Xiao Leng and walked into the depths of the forest with his sword in hand. He started to solo. Along the way, he continued to kill magical beasts without fear, without being afraid of suffering, tiredness, pain, or death. As the number of kills increased, Lin Yun’s EXP increased. His heart was filled with excitement and joy.
Finally, his bloodthirsty massacre aroused the displeasure of the magical beasts in the forest. The magical beasts banded together and went after him.
Was Lin Yun afraid?
Lin Yun was able to run at top speed with no regard for the passing of time. Not many magical beasts in the forest were able to catch up with him. After all, they needed to eat and sleep, and they had to rest after running for a time.
Furthermore, the magical beasts in the forest couldn’t fly. When besieged by magical beasts, all Lin Yun had to do was climb up a tall tree and then stare at them from above.
When the magical beasts gave chase, Lin Yun ran. When the magical beasts ran, Lin Yun would single one out and give chase. The group of magical beasts tried all ways to get to him but still failed. After all, no matter how alert the magical beasts were, they had to rest. Lin Yun would pick one magical beast and guard it with his sword, waiting for it to rest.
The magical beasts in the forest finally gave up. They gathered their friends and family and fled from Lin Yun, the killer.
As a result, Lin Yun realized that the number of magical beasts around him decreased rapidly.
“The magical beasts have all been killed by me? But I’ve only reached Level 8. If I can increase my Spiritual Strength by two more points, I might be able to cross the threshold to Level 4 Spiritual Strength.” Lin Yun looked at his attributes with discontent.
“Lin Yun:
Level 8
EXP: 1200/1280
HP: 305/305
Spirit Points: 198/198
Physical Attack: 38
Spiritual Attack: 16
Physical Defense: 33
Spiritual Defense: 16
Speed: 27
Sensory: 30
Luck: 18
Active Skill: Stacking Skill
Passive Skill: Sensory Elevation, Spiritual Elevation”
“Fortunately, I’m just 100 EXP from leveling. I should study the map carefully and find a way to escape from the cell and the Blue Snow Prison.” Lin Yun took out the map of the Blue Snow Planet from his space watch and began to study the layout of the Blue Snow Prison.
Gradually, a plan took shape in his mind.
…
Blue Ocean Prison.
This was a small monitoring room. Many monitors were neatly arranged, each showing images of different locations in the Blue Ocean Prison. Wang Er, a thin man, stared at a monitor and muttered to himself, “Lin Yun has not eaten or drank for almost 7 days. Is he trying to starve himself to death?”
On the screen, Lin Yun suddenly opened his eyes and a flash of fierceness passed through them. Then, he picked up the nutrient solution on the table and drank it.
Watching Lin Yun on the monitor, Wang Er laughed sarcastically. “No matter how high and mighty he acts, he still has to surrender to food.”
Lin Yun drank up the nutrient solution and suddenly stood up, making a provocative gesture towards the monitor camera.
“Humph! This kid is still so cocky even though he’s in a cell. I’m not going to give him tomorrow’s meal. He can just starve.” Wang Er stared at the monitor and said angrily.
After the provocation, Lin Yun’s eyes flashed resolutely and he sprinted out of the cell. He was almost outside the room when his eyes blinked and he jerked.
Lin Yun was hit by an electromagnetic pulse and a Spiritual Shock. Lin Yun’s body crackled like his bones were breaking. The next moment, he was lying outside the cell, his body covered with blood, unconscious.
“This kid is looking for trouble!” Wang Er was shocked. Remembering the fat man’s warning, he hurried to Lin Yun’s cell.
Wang Er quickly ran to Lin Yun.
“Boy, you must not die. Lord Song will skin me if you die. Who was the moron who dared to use a Level 9 Spiritual Strength and Spiritual Shock? What if Lin Yun becomes an idiot?”
Wang Er spoke nervously while turning Lin Yun’s body over. He was suddenly stunned. Lin Yun was looking at him, alert. He was not injured!
Under Wang Er’s terrified gaze, Lin Yun squeezed his neck tightly with both hands and twisted it, killing him.
To escape this cell, Lin Yun relied on two magical skills: his digital status and the EXP Pill. When he jumped out of the cell, he closed his eyes and entered the Skynet System. Although he had been hit by an electromagnetic pulse and a Spiritual Shock, his mental state was unaffected. At this time, he used an EXP Pill, and the 100 EXP added was just enough to boost him to Level 9. With the level up, his stats were all maxed out and his body recovered miraculously!
Lin Yun stood up slowly as he looked in the direction of the exit. He knew that it was just past 8 PM now.
“It’s time to break out of jail.”
