Chapter 167: New Home, the Role of the Demon Eye
"Then I'm counting on Patriarch Kong!"
Lin Ye bowed respectfully, expressing his gratitude.
"It's just a small favor, no need to be so polite." Kong Huagai waved his hand, indicating that Lin Ye didn't need to be so formal.
However, Lin Ye still felt grateful.
In fact, Patriarch Kong's actions could very likely anger the Church Court.
Yet he agreed without hesitation, which truly made Lin Ye very grateful.
"Alright, the gift is delivered, I should head back now and not take up too much of you young people's time!" Kong Huagai stood up, intending to leave.
Kong Feiliu hurriedly stepped forward to assist him.
Lin Ye and Zhang Ruiqi did not dare take it lightly and escorted Kong Huagai out of the center before returning to the office.
"You really surprised me, awakening just three months ago and already undergoing the Second Transformation. This speed is truly astounding." Zhang Ruiqi exclaimed in amazement upon returning to the office.
Such speed was already unimaginably fast.
Yet Zhang Ruiqi felt increasingly curious about Lin Ye's origins.
Actually, newcomers like Lin Ye, who rapidly go through the Second Transformation, aren't entirely unheard of.
Many large noble families have a cemetery to bury family members...
Among these, naturally, there are some family members who can condense relics after death.
Later, if qualified descendants appear within the family, they can use the ancestors' relics to level up directly.
However, generally, it's rare to resort to this method.
Most noble families encourage newcomers to train in the Secret Realm, accumulate battle experience, casting techniques, etc., and avoid using such methods unless absolutely necessary.
Of course, if it's a newcomer like Lin Ye, who has a remarkable record, any patriarch of a noble family would likely not hesitate to provide such resources.
After all, the biggest constraint for someone of Lin Ye's level is his level!
"Just lucky, borrowing some benefits from predecessors." Lin Ye didn't lie.
In truth, he was indicating that he had used relics to achieve such rapid leveling.
Otherwise...
Relying solely on clearing Secret Realms, unless one keeps completing hidden tasks or achieving first clear milestones daily, would make such rapid leveling virtually impossible.
Under normal circumstances, clearing one Secret Realm would give you maybe half an experience bar, which is already considered extraordinary.
So Lin Ye had no reason to hide anything around here.
Anyone with some experience knows that using regular methods couldn't possibly achieve Lin Ye's leveling speed.
As for where Lin Ye got so many relics, let them guess as they please...
In this world, who doesn't have some secrets?
Of course, if they knew that Lin Ye was also bearing the burden of dual classes, they might even be more astonished.
It's equivalent to Lin Ye leveling up twice to Level 30 in just three months.
Such an achievement is truly unprecedented!
"By the way, here are the keys to the manor!" Zhang Ruiqi produced a bunch of keys and handed them to Lin Ye.
Really a large bunch, all the keys to the entire manor were here.
And each key was thoughtfully labeled, indicating which key it was.
Lin Ye took the bunch of keys, feeling the weight in his hand.
"Honestly, that manor is quite nice, perfect for someone like you who enjoys tranquility; you just need to hire some staff..." Zhang Ruiqi added.
Living in such a manor is indeed comfortable.
But that's only true if there are servants available.
Otherwise, a small apartment would be more comfortable.
As Zhang Ruiqi spoke, his intentions were clear: he was offering to help Lin Ye handle this matter.
With his ability, arranging some servants for Lin Ye would naturally not be too difficult.
"Indeed, some staff are needed, and I'm already prepared." Lin Ye responded.
Lin Ye understood Zhang Ruiqi's thoughts perfectly.
But in Lin Ye's view, this wasn't a matter of great importance, and he already had a better solution prepared.
"Alright then, that's good, that's good."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruiqi just nodded repeatedly, saying nothing more.
Yet inside, he silently cursed himself for meddling...
Given their background, how could they not have considered such matters?
After all, this is someone who treats relics like snacks from a super noble family!
"By the way, didn't the Alliance say they'd sponsor my equipment upgrades every ten levels?" Lin Ye asked again.
At this, Zhang Ruiqi couldn't help but smile wryly.
Really? You're so affluent that you treat relics like snacks, yet you're concerned about this set of orange equipment?
But he still replied, "Don't worry, I'll apply immediately; it should arrive by tomorrow."
Who would have thought that within one month's time, Lin Ye would be ready to swap for Level 30 equipment?
After chatting casually for a bit, Lin Ye made an excuse to leave.
By the time he exited the Professional Center, it was already twilight, and the sun had set behind the mountains. Lin Ye found a restaurant, requested a private room, and had a good meal before heading out, satisfied.
This month, whether in the wilderness or running around in Secret Realms, he had been living off Professional field rations daily, nearly making him sick.
Such indulgence in food and drink is something every Professional rewards themselves with after surviving peril in the Secret Realm.
Spending on food and drink is mere pocket change for these wealthy Professionals.
Therefore, the most densely packed establishments in the Professional Plaza are restaurants, followed by various shops selling Professional tools.
Full and satisfied, Lin Ye strolled for a while, turned into a deserted alleyway, and then disappeared.
A moment later, Lin Ye emerged from a spatial rift, landing in a garden.
As night fell, this suburban manor looked even more eerie in the twilight.
Living alone in such a place is indeed rather desolate.
Although Lin Ye enjoys quiet, he preferred not to be surrounded by complete solitude.
Lin Ye stepped out of the garden, found the key to the villa's door, and entered.
Based on previous visits, Lin Ye easily located the master bedroom.
Wei Tiangang did indeed think ahead; all the furniture inside the villa had been replaced, large and small, inside and out, even filling the wardrobe with various high-end clothing, including underwear for Lin Ye.
After wandering around the villa, Lin Ye returned to his room and took out a box.
The box contained the Demon Monarch's eye.
"If I hadn't acquired the True Sight talent, I would've missed out on this..." Lin Ye muttered to himself.
It's quite normal that Patriarch Kong couldn't figure out the function of this eye.
If Lin Ye hadn't had the 'True Sight' talent, he probably wouldn't have known what this eye was for either.
But now, he was very clear that he had obtained something remarkable from Patriarch Kong.
Because the only function of this eye was to enhance talents related to eyesight!
