After the settlement was successful, Lin Ye and his team exited the Flame Forest.
Returning to the Professional Plaza in Shan City, Lin Ye couldn't help but stretch lazily, feeling incredibly comfortable!
Vaguely, he seemed to recall his previous life...
His first secret realm at that time was also the Flame Forest, but the circumstances were completely different from now.
Back then, just like the vast majority of people, he couldn't even handle the first few waves of minor monsters.
But now, he had directly broken historical records and received a hefty reward.
The difference was indeed like heaven and earth.
And at this moment, as they came out of the secret realm, their phones exploded with notifications.
Because the news of them breaking the historical record had already spread, even those like Hook, who looked like mere bystanders, were receiving various congratulations and concerns from friends and family.
Hook replied while grinning widely, indescribably pleased with himself.
As for the twin sisters, they were receiving similar treatment, busy replying to the concerns of their friends and family.
Li Fei's phone also dinged, clearly someone had messaged her.
But unlike Hook and the others, Li Fei's brows were furrowed, not looking too happy.
As for Lin Ye, he appeared particularly quiet; as an orphan, he didn't have much family to speak of.
Moreover, due to Su Yaoyao's manipulations, he had become estranged from many friends. So, apart from a few sparse congratulatory messages, not many people reached out to him.
Of course...
These were superficial matters; the most important issue was that his profession had encountered a problem!
Lin Ye was sure that if the profession listed on the ranking was Flame Warrior, his phone would also be blowing up with messages.
Unfortunately, his current profession was Healer.
It wasn't the Flame Warrior that matched 200% with his 'talent.'
So, even though Lin Ye broke the historical record, few people congratulated him at this moment.
This quiet scene was like an extreme contrast to the scene yesterday where girls were eager to approach him.
"Boss, what's the plan next?" After replying to family messages, Hook's eyes gleamed as he looked at Lin Ye.
And Diana and Dana were the same!
When you latch onto a thigh, you must hold on tightly!
But Lin Ye did not rush to make a decision and only said, "Let's first deal with our own matters, and if anything comes up, reach out in the team chat channel!"
Lin Ye instructed.
He also had some personal matters to handle.
"Alright! I'll be back quickly!" Without any delay, Hook left trotting.
As did Diana and Dana.
Actually, the reason for their haste was simple: they feared that if they moved too slowly, Lin Ye would kick them out of the team.
Seeing Lin Ye's performance against the Goblin Priest made it clear that Lin Ye had high expectations for efficiency.
If they kept Lin Ye waiting, the team would probably move on without them.
Therefore, they had to handle their matters as quickly as possible and then come back to wait for Lin Ye.
Not the other way around!
Seeing how sensible they were, Lin Ye naturally felt satisfied with Li Fei's choice of team members.
"Lin Ye... I have some matters and need to go home first."
At this moment, Li Fei spoke, her gaze somewhat evasive.
Lin Ye glanced at Li Fei and finally said, "If there's anything, come to me directly!"
"Mm!" Li Fei nodded before leaving silently.
Watching Li Fei's concerned back, Lin Ye squinted slightly but said no more.
"This achievement still isn't enough..."
Lin Ye knew that right now, the greatest pressure lay undoubtedly with his class teacher!
Not anyone else!
In the previous life, it was because he gave the Flame Warrior profession to Su Yaoyao, causing trouble.
In the end, even though it was clarified that he voluntarily gave the Professional Badge to Su Yaoyao, Chen Daosheng still lost his job because of it.
Yet he didn't hold it against Lin Ye; instead, he comforted Lin Ye at the time and blamed himself for the oversight that led to the loss of Lin Ye's Professional Badge.
If not for Chen Daosheng's guidance, Lin Ye might not have been able to stand back up as easily in his past life.
"In this life, I want you to proudly say that I am your student!"
In Lin Ye's mind, an already quite wild plan was forming.
That was to conquer a secret realm at Abyss difficulty!
Every secret realm has three difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, and Abyss.
Normal is the most common choice and the best option for leveling up.
If Hard difficulty is chosen, the rewards are richer, but it's only suitable for teams with certain strengths to challenge themselves.
While Abyss...is truly for the thrill-seekers!
This difficulty level is no longer suitable for farming experience; it's only for showing off one's strength!
Abyss difficulty replicates the intensity of Anomalous Spatial Rift 100%, with difficulty and danger pushed to the maximum.
Under normal circumstances, few dare to touch this difficulty, let alone clear it.
In the past, Lin Ye would have thought this idea was a bit mad...
But now it's different; he possesses a talent at the level of Healing Dominator. If he can't even conquer an Abyss difficulty of a newbie level secret realm, he might as well hang himself tomorrow morning.
Of course, preparation is still essential in the early stages.
Lin Ye might even need to prepare for replacing teammates.
Although Hook and the others are sensible and work hard, if Lin Ye mentions entering an 'Abyss' difficulty secret realm, they might back out.
Of course, it's up to them to decide then.
If they're willing to risk their lives with him, Lin Ye would naturally offer them different kinds of rewards.
If they choose to forgo the opportunity, it just means their fate with Lin Ye ends at the Flame Forest.
In any case, Lin Ye is happy to switch cohorts to maximize his attribute gains.
"Let's get all the necessary preparations ready first!"
In the next moment, Lin Ye arrived at a familiar stall.
"Oh? Young brother, it's you?" The Spatial Bag vendor smiled at Lin Ye.
He looked quite pleased with himself.
Every year, naive rookies think buying a dozen or twenty spatial bags will let them make a fortune in the secret realm.
But later they invariably come back for a refund...
At this moment, the vendor thought the rookie in front of him was here for a refund.
However, Lin Ye shook his head and said, "Give me thirty more spatial bags!"
"Alright, here's nine thousand five, take the money and grab the bags..."
The vendor suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "Wait, what did you just say?"
He was somewhat in doubt, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears!
