Chapter 21: Can’t You Be Less Stingy?
"Why is it so cold?" Ning Yiyi sat down by the fire, warming her small hands.
With her pursuers dealt with, Ning Yiyi relaxed.
Lin Moyu knew the low temperature was due to the skeleton warriors and immediately ordered them to disperse.
Knowing Lin Moyu didn’t like to talk, Ning Yiyi started chatting on her own.
"I found a lucky treasure chest in the Carmen Orc Legion camp in Shaohai City."
"You know, these chests appear randomly, and I happened to find one."
"I opened it and got this intermediate skill scroll."
"Those guys saw me with it."
"They wanted to steal my scroll. Even though it’s not worth much, I wasn’t going to give up something I just found."
"So they chased me, and I ran."
"I’ve been running for two days, from Shaohai City to West Sea City. Aren’t they annoying, like bedbugs?"
From Ning Yiyi’s words, it was clear that even a 10-million-gold-coin intermediate skill scroll wasn’t a big deal to her.
It was hard to imagine which wealthy family she came from.
Lin Moyu looked at Ning Yiyi and waited for her to finish before saying softly, "You almost died earlier."
Ning Yiyi replied, "Don’t worry, I can’t die. When I receive fatal damage, I’m automatically teleported away."
"But still, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I might not have died, but I would have been hurt."
"You know, getting hurt is painful, and Yiyi hates pain the most."
Lin Moyu realized his concern was unnecessary. She had an item that prevented her death.
Ning Yiyi reached out, "I gave you the intermediate skill scroll. Do you have any more food? I’m still hungry."
Lin Moyu took out several buns, part of the loot from earlier, about 10 in total.
Ning Yiyi shook her head, "No buns, I want sweet potatoes."
Lin Moyu smiled wryly and exchanged the buns for sweet potatoes.
"That’s better. I don’t want to eat dead people’s food," Ning Yiyi said, happily eating the sweet potato.
Are sweet potatoes really that good? Watching Ning Yiyi eat, it seemed delicious.
"Lin dummy, are you here to level up? From your level, you probably haven’t gone to a higher education institution yet, right?" Ning Yiyi asked while eating.
Lin Moyu nodded, "No, I haven’t."
Ning Yiyi had gotten used to Lin Moyu’s speaking habits, "So which higher education institution are you aiming for?"
"Summer Capital University," Lin Moyu said softly.
"Hmm, Summer Capital University is quite good." Hearing this, Ning Yiyi didn’t seem surprised at all.
In her view, with Lin Moyu’s strength, any university would be possible.
Who else could easily kill level 20 career professionals at level 10, and three at once?
If Lin Moyu couldn’t get into Summer Capital University, probably no one could.
Suddenly, Ning Yiyi thought of something, her eyes lighting up, "If you go to Summer Capital University, remember to challenge their Divine Summer Tower."
"For your first challenge, the rewards are doubled. Try to climb as high as you can."
"You’ll get more points that way. In Summer Capital University, points are more useful than gold coins."
"Also, there’s a Creation God Academy in Summer Capital University. If possible, you must try to get in there."
Ning Yiyi seemed very knowledgeable about Summer Capital University and talked non-stop about it.
From her words, Lin Moyu formed a general picture of Summer Capital University in his mind.
Ning Yiyi did 99% of the talking, with Lin Moyu mostly listening and occasionally responding.
Eventually, Ning Yiyi fell silent.
Lin Moyu gave her a piece of clothing to use as a blanket and began meditating.
The next day, as sunlight fell, Lin Moyu awoke from meditation with his spirit power fully restored.
Ning Yiyi was blinking her big eyes at him.
"Do you have any more sweet potatoes?" Ning Yiyi asked with a grin, reaching out her hand.
Lin Moyu directly handed her a sweet potato.
"Not enough, I want more."
Lin Moyu gave her another one.
"Can’t you be less stingy? It’s just sweet potatoes, can’t you give me more?"
"Yes, yes, a big man should be generous. Give me all of them!"
Lin Moyu ended up giving Ning Yiyi almost all of the twenty-some sweet potatoes he had, leaving none for himself.
"Really no more?" Ning Yiyi still didn’t believe him, looking like she wanted to dive into Lin Moyu’s storage space.
Lin Moyu nodded, "Really, no more."
Ning Yiyi finally let it go, "Okay, okay, I believe you."
"This young lady has to go now. I need to level up too. Lin dummy, we’ll meet again."
"Level up quickly, so you can help me level up in the future."
Ning Yiyi left decisively, taking the sweet potatoes and the clothing she used as a blanket.
After Ning Yiyi left, Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "Help you level up in the future."
After a whole night, the goblin monsters still hadn’t respawned.
The monster respawn time far exceeded Lin Moyu’s expectations.
He thought it might be because he killed them too quickly.
A faint smell of blood lingered in the forest.
Three corpses lay on the ground.
Lin Moyu looked at the corpses and silently used the skill he had just learned yesterday.
Corpse Explosion.
With a huge boom, a large area of trees was blasted to pieces.
Not just knocked down, but truly shattered.
A large crater appeared on the ground, 20 meters in diameter and over 10 meters deep.
The power was considerable.
Lin Moyu discovered that the damage range of Corpse Explosion was 360 degrees in all directions.
"Looking at this, detonating in mid-air might be even more powerful."
He had just detonated the mage’s corpse.
He ordered a skeleton warrior to throw the archer’s corpse into the air.
He activated the skill on the airborne corpse.
Another huge explosion occurred, with even greater power, confirming his guess.
An air burst was indeed more powerful.
However, Corpse Explosion had a drawback: it could easily harm allies.
He and his skeleton warriors wouldn’t be harmed, but teammates in a party might not be so lucky.
