Lin Ye looked completely at ease, casting spells effortlessly while moving.
A Punishment Technique every second, directly draining the Goblin Priest's health bar.
[Congratulations, you completed the 'Fire Forest' in a total time of fifty-nine minutes and fifty-six seconds!]
[Congratulations, you set a new historical record and received extra rewards!]
The completion message popped up directly, and when Hook and the others saw these two notifications, they immediately collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
It was truly extreme!
Felt like being chased by Death!
"We actually finished under an hour." Lin Ye was a bit surprised.
His original intention was just to finish quickly.
In fact, without triggering the Goblin Priest's berserk state, it could have been defeated relatively easily.
But if you can end the battle quickly, why drag it out?
As for the safety of Hook and the others, it wasn't that Lin Ye didn't care; he had observed very carefully during the battle.
With this level of danger, Hook and the others still had enough ability to avoid it.
Moreover, as professionals who live on the edge, they shouldn't always think about having a peaceful life.
If you can't dodge a meteor attack with a whole second warning, you might as well stay home and sleep.
...
The Professional Plaza in Shan City was becoming increasingly lively.
Because of the influx of a large number of beginners, it was almost overcrowded.
At this time, everyone saw an announcement...
[The 'Forest Squad' completed the 'Fire Forest (Normal)' in fifty-nine minutes and fifty-six seconds, achieving an SSS rating and setting a new historical record!]
The previously noisy plaza fell into silence in an instant.
But when everyone came to their senses, they exclaimed in disbelief.
"Damn... didn't they only use one hour?"
"Wow! Are they that fierce? Where did this Lin Ye come from?"
"Twenty minutes faster than the last historical record!"
"That's too exaggerating!"
Everyone in the Professional Plaza was shocked by this news.
No one expected that from such a fourth-tier settlement as Shan City, someone of this caliber could emerge.
And soon, someone spread the word about Lin Ye.
"S-Class Talent and a rare 200% synergy professional, the Flame Warrior, no wonder he achieved such a result."
"The gap between people is sometimes bigger than the gap between humans and dogs..."
"So it was him! His squad was recruiting teammates just now, and I regret not joining! If only I knew earlier!"
Sighs could be heard continuously from the plaza.
Such is the gap!
Su Yaoyao was also in the plaza, looking somewhat lost.
"Historical record..." she murmured blankly.
By now, she had accepted reality and switched to a Mage profession.
Truth be told, having an A-level talent and a 100% compatible profession, she was already considered a winner in life.
But without comparison, there's no harm...
Lin Ye had already soared to new heights, directly setting a new record in the Fire Forest, while she had nothing to her name.
"No... who said Lin Ye's a rare profession Flame Warrior? He's clearly a Healer!"
"Yeah, there is a Flame Warrior in his team, named Li Fei!"
"What the heck... what's going on? I'm Lin Ye's classmate, and I wouldn't get it wrong!"
"Why? Why would it be like this?"
A commotion rose again in the surrounding area.
Because curious onlookers clicked on the Forest Squad's information and found that it was completely different from what was circulating.
According to Lin Ye's classmate, Lin Ye's profession should be the Flame Warrior, but now he's a Healer!
This revelation left many people dumbfounded.
Su Yaoyao, on the other hand, thought of something, and frantically opened the Forest Squad's information, staring at it intently.
...
[Forest Squad]
Leader: Lin Ye, Healer
Member 1: Li Fei, Flame Warrior
Member 2: Hook, Warrior
Member 3: Dian, Archer
Member 4: Dana, Archer
...
Because Lin Ye and the others scored on the leaderboard, their team information was publicly listed.
But it only showed names and professions, the most basic details.
After seeing Lin Ye and Li Fei's professions, Su Yaoyao almost snapped her magic staff in half!
"So it was given to Li Fei!"
Her heart was filled with envy!
If Lin Ye had kept the Flame Warrior profession for himself, she might not have been so angry, but in the end, Li Fei got it instead!
Why did Lin Ye pursue her for so many years? What was it for?
Just to make her feel this miserable now?
"Lin Ye, you fool, you truly deserve to die! You deserve it!"
"And that bitch Li Fei will surely leave you!"
Su Yaoyao's heart was completely consumed by resentment: "I must make them pay!"
"I will report them for secretly trading Professional Badges. It must be that bitch Li Fei who gave Lin Ye some benefits in exchange for the Flame Warrior Badge!"
Su Yaoyao became more extreme the more she thought about it, completely losing her mind!
...
Meanwhile, Lin Ye and his team were in the loot distribution phase.
After completing the challenge, there were ten minutes allotted for professionals to loot or distribute the spoils.
Actually, when the team was formed, the rules for loot distribution had been predetermined.
Generally, items were distributed in sequence, for example, the loot from the first monster went to Lin Ye, the second to Hook, and so on.
As for items of green quality and above, they all belonged to Lin Ye.
Li Fei opted out of the item distribution sequence because she was just there to complete the task.
At this time, everyone realized that almost all the loot along the way had ended up in Lin Ye's hands.
Although initially it was picked up in order, Hook and the others only had 1-cubic spatial bags, which couldn't hold much.
So in the later stages, the loot was basically all taken by Lin Ye.
After all, since Hook and the others couldn't take more, it was considered abandoned; rather than leaving it, let someone with space take it.
Lin Ye had no choice but to accept it graciously.
Considering Hook and the others had already accepted Lin Ye as a rich second generation, it wasn't surprising for Lin Ye to have a super-large spatial bag.
The Goblin Priest dropped a total of five items.
Aside from two pieces of green armor, the rest were some miscellaneous items, practically negligible.
After collecting everything, Lin Ye looked at the others.
"Time for settlement!"
Rewards for slaying monsters and completing achievements within the Secret Realm would be given to the professionals upon settlement.
Compared to the drops within the Secret Realm, the rewards for breaking historical records were more eagerly anticipated.
Hook and the others were already eager to see what kind of rewards they would get!
