After eliminating the obstructive gnolls, the Gnoll Leader was practically a walking human sandbag. Fjolm casually used a few sets of ice spear techniques and nailed the enemy to the dark cave wall.

Instantly, the system notification jumped in front of Zhang Yun.

[System Notice: You killed the BOSS of the Reality Invasion Event!]

[System Notice: The Reality Invasion Event was successfully cleared! It would disappear once the countdown ended! You could choose to return to the real world immediately! Alternatively, you can continue to stay in the dungeon and wait for the time limit to end!]

[System Notice: You obtained a certain amount of experience points from the corpse of the Gnoll Leader. You acquired the 2-star bronze weapon “Hard Spiked Club”, and the materials “Gnoll Hair”, “Coarse Cloth”, and “Sharp Claws”.]

Zhang Yun found the rewards acceptable even if there wasn’t anything he could use.

The rewards were all low-level materials and low-level weapons that could be exchanged for money.

Moreover, the most valuable things in the Reality Invasion Event were not the loot from killing the BOSS, but the herbs and ores that could be collected in the dungeon, as well as some random items and treasure chests that could be picked up.

Zhang Yun had not forcefully participated in the battle just now. He had used “Clarity” to make his presence known in front of Fjolm. He quietly decided to collect the rewards and wait to sell them once he came out.

Ordinary professionals also counted on digging up these things to make a living.

If Zhang Yun really wanted to farm for equipment and skill books…

It was better to go to places like dungeons, secret realms, and labyrinths.

Not only were there a lot of BOSS creatures, but the difficulty of clearing them was also high. Accordingly, the drop rate would also be increased, and numerous good items that could not be found in a Reality Invasion Event could be gathered.

The Reality Invasion Event was different. Only those who first cleared it would get a reward. The rest wouldn’t get anything.

Of course…

The Reality Invasion Event didn’t have many herbs, ores, and item treasure chests compared to others. Relying on such alone wasn’t profitable for professionals.

But there was an extremely serious problem!

Dungeons and invasion events were strategic resources that were controlled by the government. They could only be encountered by luck. Ordinary professionals would be considered exceptionally lucky if they could participate once every half a month.

******

After checking the spoils, Zhang Yun followed the system’s guidance and walked into the green portal that suddenly appeared in front of him. He then exited the Reality Invasion Event.

Right then.

Only two minutes had passed, and the city’s first responders, also known as the City Guard Team, responsible for dealing with the Reality Invasion Event, had yet to rush to the scene to carry out a complete blockade.

However, under the command of the professional security guards at the train station, most of the ordinary people evacuated from the scene. A red cordon had been set up around the area to prevent anyone from passing through.

Zhang Yun looked around the square and found that there was no one around. He stood alone in the square, and behind him was the teleportation door that had changed from red to green.

The others were probably worried that the time given for this Reality Invasion Event was too short, and the city guards would not be able to stop the monsters from running out in time.

“Eh?”

Zhang Yun couldn’t believe there was no audience for his first battle.

“Sigh, forget it. A last-ranking Level 1 Priest clearing a Level 3 Time-Limited Invasion Dungeon in two minutes is quite ridiculous! I’d better slip away and keep a low profile.”

As a mature man who had lived two lives, Zhang Yun knew the importance of making a fortune in silence.

As the saying goes, one was not afraid of being robbed but afraid of being remembered by the thief.

There were too many people in the world who were jealous.

In addition, Brother Shadow’s origin was a little strange. His ability was extremely abnormal. It was as if he had cheated. It was not a “divine talent” worth promoting.

As long as this news spread, there would definitely be people with evil intentions. Zhang Yun wouldn’t be able to avoid jealous people and people who would constantly target him.

It was better for Zhang Yun to keep this matter a secret for the time being.

After all…

No matter how deep the internal conflicts among individuals…

As long as there was a cheating scum, everyone would temporarily put aside their conflicts and unanimously kill the cheating scum first…

On the other side, the muscled man, who had entered the time-limited dungeon earlier than Zhang Yun, was still dealing with the second wave of gnolls. He fought them with bayonets.

[System Notice: The Reality Intrusion Event has been cleared by someone else. You can leave the event now. Otherwise, wait for the time limit to end, and the event will disappear, and you will be forced to exit.]

“Ah? Two minutes? The battle ended?”

The fierce man’s name was Zhao Dashu, and people called him Brother Shu. He looked domineering. Zhao Dashu was not only a student in the same class as Zhang Yun, but he was also Zhang Yun’s senior in a previous class.

This was because Zhang Yun’s reawakening each year caused him to repeat the exam. He should have graduated from the school of professionals long ago. Unfortunately, Zhang Yun ended up dragging on for two years, and his juniors got ahead of him.

However…

The two of them were not from the same school. Since they had never met before, they were practically strangers.

‘What? Isn’t that too amazing? I deliberately suppressed my level and kept honing my combat skills. I’m not in a hurry to reach the fifth level. Logically, I should be a top professional below the third level!’ Zhao Dashu thought.

In the end, Zhao Dashu didn’t even get to see what the BOSS looked like…

“Who did it? Could it be the tall and scrawny guy just now?”

Zhao Dashu recalled the young man who he had just reminded to escape. The other person was wearing a white hoodie, a pair of grey slim-fit jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. He looked handsome and had a calm gaze.
