NABC Chapter 13 – Three hundred thousand in gold, hiring Power Leveling!
Chapter 13 – Three hundred thousand in gold, hiring Power Leveling!
In the Otherworld, for Professionals to return to reality, they must be within a Safe Zone.
On the way back to Doomsday Town, Zhang Yue checked his loot from this trip.
Warrior Skill Book: Berserk—Sacrifice 10% defense to increase attack power by 5% for 10 seconds.
At level 30, Beast Tamers unlock a second pet slot. Zhang Yue planned to get a frontline damage-dealing pet by then.
Perfect timing, this Berserk book can be saved for the second pet!
Additionally, he had three pieces of equipment, all level 10 and 2-star quality!
Among them: the Warrior's weapon Berserk Blade, a universal mage robe Berserk Coat, and the Knight's Berserk Ring.
The Berserk Blade could be sold in the Otherworld Marketplace. Even a 2-star level 10 weapon with white attributes could fetch a few thousand!
If Zhang Yue refined it to golden attributes before selling, it would be worth even more!

As for the Berserk Coat and Berserk Ring, they could be kept for himself and the Silver Armored Scorpion.
However, equipment dropped by monsters at level 10 and above needs to be appraised before use.
***
Back in Doomsday Town, Zhang Yue went to the appraisal center and spent 2 silver coins to appraise the Berserk Coat and Berserk Ring.
Then, he used nearly 50,000 psionic energy to refine both pieces to golden attributes.
[Magic Berserk Coat] (lv10)
[Quality: 2-star]
[Attributes: Golden]
[Profession: Universal for Mages]
[Health Points: +320]
[Additional: Constitution +5, Endurance +5]
[Effect: Magic Shield (When remaining health is insufficient to absorb current damage, automatically use mana to absorb damage, 2 mana points for 1 damage point)]
[Description: A berserk coat forged with magic, wild yet elegant...]
Already at level 10, Zhang Yue immediately put on the Berserk Coat.
His health points soared to 920!
For ordinary and elite-grade Professionals of the same level, having three to four hundred health points was already impressive.
Zhang Yue's health limit was truly extraordinary!
Next, he looked at the ring.

[Quality: 2-star]

[Physical Attack: +70]
"I need to find a way to make some quick money!"
Thinking this, Zhang Yue slurped his noodles while searching online for quick money-making opportunities.
In the Otherworld, making quick money was generally easier because after Awakening Day each year, many people sought power-leveling services.
So, Zhang Yue logged into the Otherworld Dragon Kingdom official website.
The forum was flooded with various posts.
"One gold coin from the Eighth World for sale, two thousand yuan, act fast!"
"First World newbie seeking power-leveling, two hundred yuan per hour, plus one hundred yuan per level up! Any powerful Professionals willing to help a sister out?"
"High price for a level 55-60 Assassin weapon, must be high-quality with refined attributes. If the item is good, price is no issue. Don't bother with green or blue semi-finished products! DM if you have one!"
Due to different login locations for Professionals from different districts, the matching Safe Zones also varied.
Zhang Yue could only find power-leveling jobs in Coastal City and within the First World.
So, he searched for keywords: Coastal City, First World.
Immediately, hundreds of related posts appeared.
One pinned bounty post caught Zhang Yue's eye: "New Professional in Coastal City's First World, offering 300,000 yuan for power-leveling!"
The title instantly attracted the cash-strapped Zhang Yue.
Upon clicking in, he found that the post had been up for over four hours, with over 30 million views, yet no one had accepted the bounty!
If someone had accepted, the post would no longer be on the forum.
So, Zhang Yue dialed the number attached to the post.
"Hello?" A voice as elegant as a voice actress's came from the other end.
"Hello," Zhang Yue got straight to the point. "I saw your 300,000 yuan bounty for power-leveling on the forum. What are the specific requirements?"
"Yes," the clear female voice said to Zhang Yue. "Requirement one: Must be a newly awakened Professional this year. Two: Escort my designated person through the First World."
Zhang Yue waited for more requirements, expecting at least three, four, five, six, or seven.
After all, a 300,000 yuan bounty couldn't be that simple.
But after waiting for a while, there was no more.
"That's it?"
"That's it, just those two requirements."
Zhang Yue was stunned, thinking: Is this a scam?
But scammers couldn't pass the official verification of the Otherworld forum's bounty posts.
If it were that simple, why hadn't anyone accepted the 300,000 yuan bounty yet?
Oh well...
Zhang Yue didn't overthink it and said, "I'll take it, but can I make a condition?"
"Sure, go ahead."
Zhang Yue straightforwardly said, "I need 390,000. I can escort you through the Second World, even the Third World, no problem."
To Zhang Yue's surprise, the other party didn't hesitate at all. "Alright, no problem. I'll round it up to 400,000. But you must complete the task first."
"Okay, standard practice, I understand." Zhang Yue finished his last bite of noodles and asked, "When do we start?"
"Are you free now?" The elegant voice asked. "Let's start now. You're in Coastal City, right?"
"Yes."
"Then in ten minutes, have her meet you at the Revival Spring in Doomsday Town. Just escort her through the First World."
"Alright, no problem."
After hanging up, Zhang Yue finished his noodles.
He then lightly touched the Mark for three seconds, summoning the Portal and entering the Otherworld.
At the same time, the 300,000 yuan bounty post that had been pinned for over four hours was taken down from the Otherworld forum.
Many forum visitors shook their heads and sighed in front of their screens:
"I wonder which fool desperate for money took the bait this time!"
