Chapter 622, Two Slaves

Translator: Silavin

 

Due to the enormous gap in Attributes between Lu Fan and Yuan Jingang and Li Qingfeng, the duration of the Enslavement Contract reached a despairing three years!

 

Of course, if there were Cleanse Potions available. Likewise, if a Support Specialised Profession Player was present, they could help remove the Skill Effect, and the two of them could regain their freedom.

 

However, such Potions had already been ‘confiscated’ by Lu Fan. Even if they managed to obtain Potions from Treasure Chests, these would go directly into Lu Fan’s possession, leaving them no opportunity to use them.

 

As for seeking help from Support Specialised Profession Players, this was even more impossible. Among the Players who had entered God’s Tomb Secret Realm, how many had Support Specialised Professions?

 

Even if there were any, why would they help remove the Enslavement Contract?

 

Therefore, the most likely way for the two to regain their freedom was to return from God’s Tomb Secret Realm and seek assistance from their Family.

 

The prerequisite for this was that both of them needed to be obedient for now and satisfy Lu Fan, so that Lu Fan would spare their lives and allow them to leave the God’s Tomb Secret Realm alive.

 

Consequently, Lu Fan separated from the two of them, with each heading in a different direction to search for the remaining key fragments.

 

What followed was simple.

 

Lu Fan continued forward, constantly seeking out Monsters to kill within the God’s Tomb Secret Realm to obtain Rewards.

 

During this period, Lu Fan discovered that after signing the Enslavement Contract with Yuan Jingang and Li Qingfeng, the three of them had developed something similar to a spiritual connection that exists between Tamers and their Pets.

 

This meant that although the three were separated by a great distance, they could communicate with each other as if they had a chat group.

 

Simultaneously, Lu Fan could gain a general sense of Li Qingfeng and Yuan Jingang’s condition. Should either of them be injured, Lu Fan could force them to teleport to his side.

 

This was both unexpected and delightful for Lu Fan. Though he did feel kind of disgusted to have this kind of intimate spiritual connection with two grown men.

 

[In future, if I could use this Skill on Qin Qiu, Jian Ying, and his Auntie… Naturally, this was not because I have had any peculiar fetishes about having girls call me ‘Master’! Of course not! This is just so that I can forcibly teleport them to my side when I sense they are in danger! Yeah! That’s right! That’s the only reason!]

 

Although having two grown men as his ‘slaves’ made Lu Fan feel somewhat nauseated, he was genuinely benefiting from this Skill. So, such discomfort quickly dissipated.

 

Li Qingfeng and Yuan Jingang were indeed honest men and did not slack off. After the three separated, Lu Fan soon felt Experience Points being credited to him, and several items appeared in his Inventory.

 

Due to how the Skill worked, Lu Fan could clearly perceive which items were from Li Qingfeng and which were from Yuan Jingang.

 

While the items were not particularly impressive to Lu Fan, the feeling of gaining Experience Points and receiving Rewards while remaining idle was absolutely amazing!

 

Yuan Jingang and Li Qingfeng’s abilities were inferior to Lu Fan’s, making their Monster-killing efficiency rather low. However, it was still better than Lu Fan on his own. Even the smallest gains were still gains.

 

Finding pure Monster hunting tedious, Lu Fan even began to amuse himself by teasing the two, which added some entertainment to the otherwise boring Monster-killing routine.

 

Lu Fan: Yuan Jingang, you’re so slow. Li Qingfeng has already killed thirteen Monsters today, while you have only managed seven?   Yuan Jingang: My Profession specialises in the frontline, so my Damage is lower than Li Qingfeng, this is normal.   Lu Fan: Still dare to argue? Do you believe that when you face a Boss later, I shall take control of you and let the Boss thrash you? A Profession that specialises in the frontline? In that case, taking a few hits from a Boss should not kill you, right?   Yuan Jingang: …   Lu Fan: Also, Li Qingfeng, why are you specifically targeting Low Level Monsters? The last three Monsters you’ve killed, not one is above Level 100. Are you trying to slack off?   Li Qingfeng: I dare not. I simply have poor luck and have not encountered any High Level Monsters recently.   Lu Fan: Cannot find High Level Monsters? I have a Level 120 Diamond Grade Boss here. Should I summon you over to deal with it while I go find other Bosses for you?   Li Qingfeng: No, no need. I can find some High Level Monsters myself. Please keep that Boss for yourself to deal with…

 

At regular intervals, Lu Fan would harass Li Qingfeng and Yuan Jingang, which proved quite amusing to him.

 

Naturally, Li Qingfeng and Yuan Jingang did not share this sentiment. They had to work for Lu Fan, watching helplessly as their Rewards disappear immediately upon acquisition and went straight into Lu Fan’s possession. Additionally, they had to respond to Lu Fan’s ‘provocations’ at regular intervals. They were nearly driven mad.

 

However, what else could they do?

 

If they dared not comply with Lu Fan’s wishes, Lu Fan could utilise the Enslavement Contract to immobilise them, allowing the Boss they were fighting to thrash them, or even forcibly teleport them back to his side to get punished.

 

Regardless of how annoying it became; they could only endure it.

 

Happiness was truly fleeting. But in this case, it neither spontaneously appears nor disappears. It had merely transferred from Li Qingfeng and Yuan Jingang to Lu Fan in some form.

 

This continued for three days. Under the ‘combined efforts’ of the three, Lu Fan’s Level soared, finally reaching the next milestone of Level 70.

 

Although there remained a 20 Level gap to Level 90 and his Fourth Profession Change was still a long road ahead, Lu Fan was quite satisfied with gaining nearly 10 Levels in such a short period of time.

 

[The God’s Tomb Secret Realm truly lived up to its reputation as a Secret Realm coveted even by Second Tier Ancient Noble Families. Not only does it have Divine Tempering Liquid, but the Experience Points it gives are also far more generous than Dungeon Instances and Secret Realms outside.]

 

Simultaneously, Lu Fan had accumulated a lot of Rewards over these few days, including as many as three Epic Grade items.

 

Other Scrolls and materials were countless.

 

Notably, Lu Fan had also acquired numerous Secret Realm Talismans, including some High Grade ones that Enhanced Attributes by percentage.

 

With the Enhancement of these Talismans, all of Lu Fan’s Attributes had steadily surpassed the ten-million threshold, making him even more formidable than before.

 

On the fourth day, as Li Qingfeng used two bolts to directly eliminate a Level 120 Diamond Grade Boss, another Purple Treasure Chest dropped, from which the final key fragment was finally obtained!

 

Thus, Lu Fan had finally collected all the key fragments and could synthesise the Divine Tempering Pool Key.
