“Still not fully dead...” Sensing Qiao Ruowei’s weak life force in her body, Link raised his eyebrow. He turned his head and instructed, “Yuna, Sister Xuerou, go save her!”

“Yes, Master!”

“Okay!”

They both nodded and respectively gathered an abundance of golden holy light and milk-white healing light respectively, gradually enveloping Qiao Ruowei’s body in the two lights.

A Holy Angel’s holy light had the effects of purifying negative debuffs and healing. Coupled with Yang Xuerou’s [Holy Priest]-level [Restoration Skill], the wounds on Qiao Ruowei’s body healed at a visible speed.

The mist of death on her body gradually dissipated, and life energy filled her body again. She slowly woke up.

However, Link didn’t let Yuna and Yang Xuerou heal her completely. They only healed her enough to preserve her life and recover a small part of her stamina.

“I... am not dead yet?” Qiao Ruowei’s expression was as if she had seen a ghost.

“You still have one last chance!” Link insipidly said.

Qiao Ruowei instantly understood his meaning and struggled to get up. Then, she walked towards one of the few remaining Skeleton Swordsmen in her sight.

Unsurprisingly, even though the process wasn’t an easy one, Qiao Ruowei still managed to kill it.

Pu! Half kneeling on the ground, she violently spat out a mouth of blood. Not a single piece of complete flesh could be seen on her body.

Plap!

A figure appeared in front of her, but she didn’t have any energy left to raise her head and see who it was. She could only hear a very familiar voice sounding in her ears.

“Congratulations on passing the assessment!”

Qiao Ruowei smiled from the bottom of her heart. The next moment, her vision went dark, and she fainted.

...

Not long after, Qiao Ruowei regained consciousness. She felt that her entire body was filled with energy; her mental spirit had also fully recovered. Looking around, she saw Link and his group standing in front and staring at her.

“How long have I slept?”

“Only a few minutes!” said Link expressionlessly.

Qiao Ruowei hurriedly stood up and took in a deep breath. She looked at Link and said, “You said that you would accept my pledge of allegiance if I could kill ten Skeleton Swordsmen!”

Link nodded and said, “That’s right! I accept it!”

Qiao Ruowei instantly kneeled and said in a deep voice, “Lord, I beg of you, help me save my grandfather!” Saying so, she bowed deeply and kowtowed.

Link lowered his head, looked at her, and then asked, “You made it so far just so that I will save your grandfather?”

She raised her head. “Yes!”

“Are you very close to your grandfather?”

“He’s my only family in this world!” Qiao Ruowei’s eyes slightly reddened.

Hearing this, Link squinted his eyes. “I understand!” He nodded insipidly, neither agreeing nor rejecting her.

Qiao Ruowei’s eyes contained puzzlement within, but she didn’t dare to ask, in fear of angering Link.

Link suddenly stretched out his palm and said, “Give me the dagger!”

Qiao Ruowei was dazed for a while, then hurriedly placed her dagger in Link’s palm.

This was only an ordinary dagger made from common iron. It was sharp enough, but it wasn’t durable. After Qiao Ruowei used it against the dark creatures for so long, cracks had already appeared on it.

Supreme Blessing! recited Link in his heart. Instantly, silver light gathered and landed on the dagger like drops of starlight.

Qiao Ruowei clearly saw the cracks on the dagger slowly disappear. In its place was a sharpness she had never seen before.

Ding!

[Blessing successful!]

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Kiss of the Viper (Gold)]

[Kiss of the Viper]

Agility: 30

Additional skills:

Qiao Ruowei received the dagger, sensing the information that appeared in her mind.

The instant she held the dagger, her whole person became different. She felt lighter, stronger, and her senses seemed to be more clear! Her mouth instantly opened up slightly, and she showed a surprised expression.

Is this... the dagger I passed to him just now? Why did it become so powerful suddenly? She couldn’t help but look towards Link’s palm. Could it be that those hands have the ability to turn stone into gold?

Then, she heard Link insipidly say, “I don’t have time to waste on things like saving people. Take the dagger and go save him yourself!”

Qiao Ruowei’s face stiffened when she heard the words, then lowered her head in disappointment. However, she knew that she didn’t have any right in asking Link to do something for her. She was already very lucky to be able to obtain such a powerful dagger!

She nodded and said, “I understand!”

Glancing at the almost dark sky, Link said, “After sunrise tomorrow, I will leave the school and hunt the dark creatures in other areas. If you don’t return by then, we won’t wait for you!”

Qiao Ruowei bit her lips softly and nodded her head heavily. “Okay!”

Link nodded and said, “Go!”

Qiao Ruowei clenched the dagger tightly and quickly left.

Looking at the direction where Qiao Ruowei left, Luo Xinghe muttered, “There are so many dark creatures outside. I wonder if she can make it back alive?”

“Whether she lives or dies, it’s up to her to decide. It has nothing to do with others!” Link’s eyes were calm as ever, undisrupted at all.

“Then... what should we do next?”

“Clear all the dark creatures in the school first! If any items or whatever drop, bring them to me!” Link insipidly said.

The dark creatures in Dragon City No. 1 Middle School had already been almost wiped out by Link previously.

Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, and the rest were enough to take care of the remaining dark creatures.

On one hand, this would save Link a lot of trouble. On the other hand, the EXP gained from killing these dark creatures was too little for Link; there wouldn’t be much use in obtaining these experience points himself. Therefore, he might as well let the others kill these remaining dark creatures and level up from the experience points gained.

There would only be value in them for Link if they became stronger.

...

Night.

They directly stayed in the hostel for the teachers in Dragon City No. 1 Middle School.

The entire city’s circuits were almost completely destroyed by dark creatures, resulting in everything being pitch black.

They could only use candles for light.

Luckily, gas and such could still be used, so Yang Xuerou cooked a hot dinner for them.

After dinner, they sat together as a group, listening to Link’s plans for the next day.

“First thing is resources. There are two large-sized supermarkets outside the school. For other necessities, bring back as much as you can. However, you guys must definitely bring back all the food and water there!

“Also, there are quite a number of frozen ingredients stored in the food street nearby. There’s enough food there for us to eat for a long time! For this matter, Luo Xinghe, you are in charge!”

Luo Xinghe hesitated and asked, “There are so many things to carry. Do we have enough people?”

“Aren’t there still many students left in the school?” Link insipidly said.

“They... will they help?”

After what Link did today, everyone was probably terrified of Link now. Why would they come to help his group carry stuff?

“Ha...” Link laughed softly and said, “Once they become hungry and thirsty, they will work!”

Hearing this, everyone was dazed.

Xue Linglong’s eyes brightened and said, “What the Lord means is that they will have food and water if they help, and none otherwise?”

Link glanced at her. “Clever!”

“Then, what if someone doesn’t want to help but still wants to eat?” Luo Xinghe asked.

“If that’s the case, do you still need me to teach you?” Link looked at him insipidly and killing intent flashed in his eye.

Luo Xinghe instantly lowered his head and said, “I understand!”

“Not just the students, but the survivors outside can also perform free labor for us too! Just kill those that are unwilling to follow orders!”

“Yes!” Everyone nodded.

“Also, another important thing is to search for high-level dark creatures!” Link then said, “They have to be at the same level as the Undead Knight Commander at least!”

“Xue Linglong will go one direction, and Luo Xingyao another. Sister Xuerou... after buffing them, follow me!”

Ever since Link said those words to Yang Xuerou in the morning, the way they addressed each other changed.

Yang Xuerou started to accept Link’s ideas; she also became used to following his lead.

Link felt very pleased with her changes.
