I Can Get 1,000,000x Returns from Selling Anything!-Chapter 35 --Twin Link: Skill Sharing!

[Ding! Pet Rankings Settling...]

A system notification rang in Daniel’s ear.

[Congratulations! Your pet ranked #1 on the leaderboard!]

[Rewards are being issued...]

[You received: S-Rank Pet Mastery Skillbook — Cooperative Combat!]

Daniel’s eyes lit up.

A free S-Rank skillbook?

He opened his inventory. A skillbook, glowing faintly, rested quietly in the slot.

The skill effect: the owner can unilaterally share 10% of their attribute points with their pet. Not bad!

But Daniel’s focus was on whether it was bound. Checking bindings had become second nature to him.

Seeing it was unbound, he didn’t hesitate—he sold it.

[Ding! You sold Skillbook: Cooperative Combat (S-Rank) to Doom Guild for 1 Copper Coin. Millionfold Boost triggered!]

[Choose: Quantity Boost / Quality Boost!]

"Quality boost!"

[Ding! Millionfold Boost reward... Congratulations! You received 1 Gold Coin! You have also acquired a Pet Mastery-exclusive skill — Twin Link (SSS-Rank)!]

[Twin Link (SSS-Rank)]

Effect: Establish a deep soul link with your pet, granting the following abilities:

Skill Sharing: Use all skills of your pet (cooldowns calculated independently).

Trait Sharing: Temporarily (30 seconds) adopt your pet’s core racial traits (Cooldown: 1 hour).

Attribute Resonance: When the pet is nearby, both gain +10% to all attributes.

Life Link: You may redirect damage you receive to your pet (requires pet consent).

Description: The ultimate bond between human and pet, allowing your combat power to exceed the sum of its parts — 1+1>2!

Daniel took a deep breath.

This was a god-tier skill for pets!

In his previous lives, he had seen this skillbook once—an ordinary player accidentally obtained it, and it sold for a fortune at the auction house.

Its effect was insanely practical.

1+1>2? Not a single exaggeration.

He glanced at the little stone dragon on his shoulder and immediately decided to learn it.

[Ding! You have learned: Twin Link (SSS-Rank)]

[Select a pet to link: Earthmount Dragon]

"Confirm!"

A golden chain of light extended from his chest, connecting to the little stone dragon.

The dragon lifted its head, blinked, and nuzzled his face affectionately.

[Ding! Link Successful!]

[You can now use your pet’s skills: Crystal Breath, Stonehide, Terra Force!]

Daniel’s grin widened insanely.

Crystal Breath — Attack +10,000%!

Stonehide — Immune to 50% physical damage, HP recovery +200%! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Terra Force — Control the earth itself!

— As long as it touches the ground, it cannot die!

Though Earthmount Dragon’s Immortal trait shared for only 30 seconds, using it at a critical moment could absolutely turn the tide of battle.

He looked at the little dragon on his shoulder and liked it more with each glance.

The creature seemed to sense its owner’s mood, emitting soft coos and settling back down to sleep.

...

After handling his pet, Daniel opened the system panel and checked his quest list.

The SSS-Rank Worldwept quest still wouldn’t unlock for a while.

But he couldn’t sit idle.

There were many things to do: expand his enterprises, increase his strength, prepare for the upcoming war...

And that angelic mark of vengeance...

Suddenly, a spark went off in his mind—titles!

In the Stellar World, titles represented identity, status, and privileges.

A titled player could enjoy various benefits within human territories: hire higher-level NPCs, purchase rarer resources, accept higher-difficulty quests, and even own land!

All these advantages could accelerate his plans.

In his previous lives, Daniel had never gone this route—the threshold for joining NPC circles was too high.

But now? Everything was possible.

"Looks like it’s time to visit the City Lord’s Mansion."

Daniel stood and made his way to the center of Luminara.

...

The Luminara City Lord’s Mansion stood at the city’s heart—a magnificent Gothic building.

Tall spires, stained glass windows, exquisite stone carvings—all radiating authority and splendor.

At the entrance stood two lines of fully armed guards, swords at the ready, eyes unwavering.

Daniel approached. A guard stepped forward.

"Stop! This is the City Lord’s Mansion. No entry for idlers!"

Daniel didn’t speak, merely displaying his Pioneer of Creation title.

The guard’s pupils contracted. He immediately stood at attention and saluted respectfully.

"Ah! Honorable Adventurer! Please, enter!"

Daniel nodded and strode into the mansion.

A guard immediately sent a magical letter to report his arrival...

Walking down a long corridor, he arrived at a large oak door.

It opened automatically, revealing a spacious reception hall.

A middle-aged man in luxurious robes sat at the main seat, sipping tea.

His hair was gray, his expression authoritative, exuding a subtle aura of pressure.

[Luminara City Lord · Augusta (LV299)]

Daniel blinked.

Level 299!

Wasn’t Augusta the legendary level-300+ Greatsword Master?

He quickly remembered—his memory was based on normal progression several months ahead.

At this point, Augusta hadn’t yet reached that level. Still, this was the highest-level NPC Daniel had seen so far.

Augusta looked up at him, a flicker of surprise in his deep eyes.

"Oh? A level 100 adventurer?"

"And a legendary-grade dragon as a companion... Interesting."

Daniel opened his mouth to speak, but Augusta waved him off.

"No need to introduce yourself. I already know you!"

He stood, walking up to Daniel, eyes scanning him from head to toe.

"Faustus, Pioneer of Creation, Honorary Citizen of Nine Cities, Level 2 Honor Medal holder, first player to found a guild, first to slay a Gold-Grade BOSS, first to enter a main city..."

He recited the long list of titles in one breath, lips curling slightly.

"Honestly, I’ve never seen such an exceptional adventurer before."

Daniel smiled.

"Your Lordship is too kind."

"Kind? No, I speak the truth."

Augusta returned to his seat, gesturing for Daniel to sit.

"I’ve experienced the teleportation network you built. Very convenient, very stable—far better than Harold’s."

Daniel twitched his mouth.

If Harold heard that, he’d probably cry.

Augusta regarded him carefully.

"Why have you come today?"

"I want to purchase a title."

Since Augusta was straightforward, Daniel told him the truth.

"You want to buy a title?"

A hint of surprise crossed Augusta’s eyes.

"Yes."

"Hm... Normally, purchasing a basic title requires 10,000 Contribution Points, 5 million Gold Coins, and proof of merit."

He paused.

"But for you, none of that is an issue."

He walked to the window, back to Daniel.

"The teleportation networks you built across the Nine Main Cities have contributed greatly to all of humanity."

"By imperial decree, you are being granted the title of Viscount as a special reward."

He turned back, smiling.

"How’s that? A surprise?"

Daniel froze.

He had come to buy a title, but the emperor was just giving it to him?

At that moment, the system pinged.

[Ding! Global Announcement!!!]

[Player "Faustus" has been granted the title of Viscount by imperial decree for outstanding contributions to humanity!]

[As the first player to receive a title, you also gain:]

Contribution Points +10,000

Gold Coins +50,000

Honorary Title: Rising Star of the Empire!

[This achievement has been recorded in the Stellar Chronicles for all time!]

The World Channel erupted.

"What??? A title???"

"Viscount? This game even has a nobility system?"

"Who is Faustus exactly? How does he get all the good things?!"

"I just entered a main city, and he’s already nobility!"

"No way, the gap is too huge!"

"I don’t accept this! Why him?"

"Because he built the teleportation networks across the Nine Main Cities. What have you done?"

"I... I built... style..."

"Shut up!"
