Yan Chen tried his best to open his eyelids and saw his body that was swollen like a ball. He felt sad in his heart, and then he chose to surrender and left the arena.

Introduction: This is the reward for the winner.
After Lin Yi successfully ranked among the top three in the second-level arena, the winner's blessing changed from the original temporary increase to a permanent increase.
Moreover, the effect of the blessing has also been enhanced a lot. If nothing else, the extra 700 points of health and the power of the abyss are still very good for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was now ready to continue to play higher, but while waiting for ranking, he suddenly received news from Yan Chen.
The message mentioned that the current second- and first-ranked contractors in the arena are temporarily unable to accept the challenge.
Because the two of them suffered serious soul damage in the war world, they were busy looking for a cure and had no time to confront Lin Yi.
Seeing this news, Lin Yi showed an intriguing smile on his face.
You must know that he now has the ability to heal souls, so Lin Yi is ready to make a deal with the first two.
As a price, Lin Yi can help them recover from their soul injuries.
Doctor: "Yan Chen, please help me contact the top two people in the arena and tell them that I have a way to solve the problem of damage to their souls. We can discuss the specific price in person. Ask them if they are willing to accept such a proposal. ?”
Yan Chen: "? No, you can actually heal soul injuries? Is there anything else you can't do? It's outrageous! Forget it, let me contact you. Those two people have recently been injured due to soul damage. It’s going to drive me crazy, I think they’ll be happy to accept it.”
After receiving Yanchen's reply, Lin Yi left the arena and went straight to the attribute enhancement hall.
I have to say that charm has increased really fast. Lin Yi almost always used the extra attribute points to improve it. As a result, the charm value has now increased by 45 points. The increase speed is very fast.
However, when Lin Yi asked Su Xiao how much her charm was worth, the other party only replied with a series of ellipses, which made Lin Yi feel a little confused.
After Lin Yi finished improving his attributes, Yan Chen sent a message to Lin Yi saying that they had agreed.
Ask Lin Yi to go to the beverage shop on Rock Street to discuss the transaction in detail.
Lin Yi was not surprised by the other party's eager response.
Under normal circumstances, the soul has a certain ability to repair itself, but this repair speed is extremely slow and the repair ability is limited.
Once the soul is damaged beyond the upper limit of its self-repair, the recovery speed will drop sharply and become almost negligible.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the two contractors were so eager to seek treatment.
At the same time, the consequences of damage to the soul cannot be underestimated.
These symptoms include a series of sequelae such as confusion, inattention, memory decline, cognitive impairment, mood swings and loss of control, and weakened perception.
Although these sequelae may not seem to have much impact in daily life, they can be very fatal to contractors in dangerous environments.
Take trance and lack of concentration as an example. Imagine that you are fighting a monster in a derived world, and suddenly you are in a trance. This loss of concentration may cause you to miss a good opportunity to dodge or counterattack.
In a fierce battle, every second of hesitation or mistake will cost the contractor a heavy price.
Moreover, damage to the soul will bring unbearable pain.
This kind of pain originates from the depths of the soul, far beyond physical pain, and ordinary pain relief methods cannot do anything about it.
Therefore, for the first two contractors in the arena, as long as they can find a way to heal their souls, as long as Lin Yi's asking price is not outrageous, they will definitely accept Lin Yi's proposal.
If the soul damage cannot be healed, the two will face great challenges the next time they enter the derivative world.
With a bunch of negative statuses, let alone completing the mission, whether you can survive in the derived world will become a problem.
Soon, Lin Yi came to Locke Street according to Yan Chen's instructions.
The so-called Rock Street is actually the ‘black market’ of Samsara Paradise.
What Rock Street sells can no longer be described as inappropriate.
Most of the things sold here are strange and weird, and the prices are very cheap.
It is said that good products cannot be found at low prices, but in Rock Street, you can also buy good products at low prices.
However, there are often considerable risks hidden behind these so-called “good goods”.
They may be the iconic equipment of a famous adventure group member, or they may be items that have been fought over by hundreds of contractors but have mysteriously disappeared in the end.
These items have one thing in common: they can be a source of trouble and even death for the owner.
Locke Street is owned by one force, which is the brigade in Samsara Paradise. The right to use and lease all the shops in Locke Street is in the hands of the brigade members.
Many contractors with distinctive personalities and eclectic behaviors gather here, making Locke Street a gathering place for lunatics and lunatics.
Most of the employees stayed away because they could feel the aura of terror emanating from the contractors wandering here, and were afraid that these eccentric contractors would suddenly become furious over some trivial matter.
However, Yan Chen had a soft spot for this place and even chose it as the place to meet.
Lin Yi walked into Locke Street and immediately felt the unique cultural atmosphere here.
The names of the surrounding shops are full of mystery and weirdness, such as News House (intelligence organization), Burning Shop (where powerful contractors can be hired to kill people), and Ear (intelligence transfer station).
There are not many contractors on the street, but every contractor who passes by has a strong aura, and their behavior is not very normal.
"here."
Yan Chen waved towards Lin Yi, and Lin Yi found that Yan Chen was standing at the door of a shop, which looked like a cafe.
This shop is very unique on Rock Street. It seems to be one of the few shops on this street that is open for business.
Lin Yi noticed that employees were coming in and out of the store from time to time. This scene at least proved that the atmosphere here was relatively normal.
When Lin Yi walked up to Yan Chen, Yan Chen motioned for him to find a seat and then ordered some food.
"Where are those two people?" Lin Yi looked around, but did not find anyone else.
"Don't worry, they will be here soon." Yan Chen explained, "Those two guys were looking for items that can restore souls in the trading market. As soon as they received the news from me, they rushed back. Counting the time, they It should be arriving soon."
As if Yanchen's words were fulfilled, the moment he finished speaking, two figures quickly appeared in the sights of Yanchen and Lin Yi.
Lin Yi glanced back, and after seeing the appearance of the two people, he guessed that these two people should be the transaction partners of this trip.
One of the visitors was a mage wearing a white robe, and the other was a heavy warrior wearing armor.
However, both of them seemed to be in quite poor condition.
The mage's face was as pale as paper, and his eye sockets were covered with black and blue blood vessels. His eyeballs were bloodshot, and he looked as if he had not slept peacefully for a long time.
At the same time, the mage's cheek twitched from time to time, as if he was trying his best to endure some kind of pain.
The heavy warrior next to him was in a similar situation. The fingers holding the weapon turned white from excessive exertion.
Generally speaking, contractors who can rank among the top three in the second-level arena should be able to control their own power with ease. The condition of the two people in front of them was obviously extremely bad.
"Doctor, let me introduce you. This mage is called Xiejun, the leader of the Death Lin Adventure Group. The heavy warrior next to him is called Mo Shou, and he is the leader of the Baiai Adventure Group. They are both old acquaintances of mine."
After Yan Chen finished the introduction, Xie Jun and Mo Shou nodded slightly to Lin Yi to express their greetings.
It's not that the two of them don't want to talk to Lin Yi, it's just that their current condition is not good, and just trying to suppress the pain inside their bodies has consumed a lot of their energy.
Therefore, the two of them really had no extra energy to communicate more with Lin Yi.
"Okay, now we can start negotiating the deal. The doctor has a way to heal the wounds on your souls. As for the price of the deal, you can discuss it yourself, and I will not be involved."
After saying that, Yanchen picked up a drink from the table to show that he would no longer intervene in the subsequent transaction discussion.
After Evil Lord sat down, he asked Lin Yi in a hoarse voice: "What do you need as a reward for healing the wounds of our souls?"
"Soul crystals or large quantities of detection equipment, both of which can be used as rewards."
Lin Yi did not forget the equipment upgrade permission he had previously obtained (one-time). This permission allowed him to upgrade a certain piece of equipment by fusing similar equipment.
The more equipment you fuse, the higher the level of the final equipment will be.
Since Lin Yi had invested all his paradise coins in skill upgrades, his financial situation is now quite difficult.
Not to mention buying detection equipment, you can't even strengthen the equipment on your body.
"If you don't have soul crystals, how much detection equipment do you need?"
Evil Lord and Mo Shou looked at each other. They had no choice. In the adventure group, rare resources such as soul crystals could hardly be preserved.
Every time you return from the derivative world, the soul crystals obtained will be distributed among the members.
Fortunately, Lin Yi also accepted detection equipment as reward in addition to soul crystals.
In this regard, Xie Jun and Mo Shou are quite rich.
There are at least three or four pieces of idle detection equipment in their respective adventure group warehouses.
If they need more, they can even go to the market and acquire it.
After all, the demand for this type of equipment is not large. Each contractor usually only needs one piece, so the supply on the market far exceeds the demand.
"Ten pieces of light gold-level detection equipment per person." Lin Yi requested, "If the number is not enough, you can use low-level detection equipment to supplement it. One piece of light gold detection equipment is equal to two pieces of purple detection equipment, which is equal to five pieces of purple detection equipment. Equipment. As for the blue and green ones.”
After hearing Lin Yi's conditions, Xie Jun and Mo Shou silently considered it in their hearts.
According to this ratio, it would cost about 2.5 million paradise coins to heal their injuries.
Although the acquisition of detection equipment will definitely cost a lot of paradise coins, considering their current emergency situation, the cost is worth it.
No amount of money will mean anything if they can't heal their injuries before their next trip into the derivative world.
"Okay, I agree." Mo Shou gritted his teeth and finally nodded and agreed to Lin Yi's request.
Although Lin Yi's asking price is slightly higher, under the current market environment, apart from Lin Yi, they can't find a lower-priced treatment method for the time being.
Therefore, Mo Shou agreed to the price proposed by Lin Yi.
Seeing that Mo Shou had agreed, Xie Jun also sighed and nodded helplessly in agreement.
"By the way, I remember that you were ranked in the top two in the second-level arena, right?" Lin Yi asked, "I want to win the first place and improve my blessing ability. I will have to trouble you two to help me then. busy."
"no problem."
Neither Xie Jun nor Mo Shou raised any objection to Lin Yi's request.
Both of them have already obtained the permanent blessing of Evil Lord who is number one in the second-level arena, so for them now, the fame effect of being number one in the second-level arena is far greater than the actual benefits.
The two of them were not too polite to Lin Yi. They just wanted to repair the damage to their souls as soon as possible. They were fed up with this kind of torture.
"It's really troublesome to have your soul damaged. You have to be more careful in the future." Yan Chen couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the state of Xie Jun and Mo Shou, and at the same time put the half-drunk drink in his hand back on the table.
He began to think about whether he should start improving his soul strength so as not to be like these two guys.
Mo Shou and Xie Jun were very unlucky to encounter an opponent with a Zanpakutō in the war world. For some reason, this contractor was able to inherit the Shinigami profession at the second level.
Although Mo Shou and Xie Jun finally solved this opponent, they were also slashed several times by their opponent in the process.
These sword attacks caused serious damage to their souls. After all, the soul strength of both of them had not exceeded 5 points.
Yan Chen was not in a hurry to leave. He had just been "educated" severely by Lin Yi in the arena, and now he wanted to treat his stomach with delicious food.
So, he asked Lin Yi to eat first, and the two guys would naturally come over after gathering their things.
Half an hour later, Mo Shou arrived at Locke Street first.
As soon as he saw Lin Yi, he immediately initiated a transaction application.
Lin Yi took a glance and saw that there were 9 pieces of light gold detection equipment and 2 pieces of dark purple detection equipment neatly placed in the transaction column.
The transaction was successfully completed, and Lin Yi motioned Mo Shou to sit in front of him, ready to start treatment.
Lin Yi gently placed his right hand on Mo Shou's back and activated the soul resuscitation skill.
As a colorless energy slowly poured into Mo Shou's body, Mo Shou immediately felt that the severe pain was relieved a lot. The original feeling of dizziness and brain swelling gradually dissipated, and his mind began to become clearer.
Three minutes later, Lin Yi withdrew his palm.
Although this treatment could not completely restore Mo Shou's soul, it had restored it to the point where it could heal itself.
Next, Mo Shou only needs to practice well to gradually regain his health.
"This broken head finally doesn't hurt anymore." Mo Shou breathed a long sigh of relief, and the bloodshot eyes dissipated.
He handed Lin Yi a business card and said sincerely: "This is my business card. If you need anything, doctors are welcome to contact me at any time. Of course, if you encounter any trouble in the derivative world, you can also contact me through the contact channel members asked for help.”
In order to treat the soul injury this time, Mo Shou almost searched most of the reincarnation paradise and consulted many forces.
However, these forces either opened their mouths and demanded most of his property, or they were unable to treat his soul injury of this level.
Now that he finally met a capable person like Lin Yi, he naturally would not let this opportunity pass by and hoped to establish a good relationship with Lin Yi.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? I'm still sitting here, don't treat me like a dead person." Yan Chen couldn't sit still when he saw that Mo Shou was poaching in front of him, and his mouth was still stuffed. The food stood up in a hurry.
But Mo Shou didn't take it seriously: "Okay, Wannian Lao San, please don't interrupt. The doctor and I are talking now. What does it have to do with you?"
When Yan Chen heard the title "Ten Thousand Year Old Third", the expression on his face instantly turned cold.
"Okay, okay, you said that word that must never be said. Are you coming to the arena?"
"Tch, just come. Although I haven't fully recovered yet, it won't be a problem to beat you up."
There was a trace of disdain on Mo Shou's face. He, Yanchen and Xiejun had been acquaintances for a long time. He and Xiejun had already figured out Yanchen's tricks, so Yanchen often couldn't take advantage of them when facing them. Cheap.
After all, Yanchen's profession is all about taking things by surprise. Once the opponent is prepared, it will be more difficult for Yanchen to deal with it.
His melee ability mainly relies on long weapon proficiency. Although his level is not low, compared with other melee professions, his class gap is still relatively large.
When melee professionals master master-level techniques, they can basically easily suppress Yanchen.
Unfortunately, Mo Shou is an adventurer with the skill of Master Shield Defense.
Yanchen's spear could not break through Mo Shou's solid defense, which was why Mo Shou mocked Yan Chen so unscrupulously.
Shortly after Mo Shou and Yan Chen left, Xie Jun also found Lin Yi with the acquired detection equipment.
After Lin Yi confirmed that the number was correct, he treated Xie Jun.
After recovering, Xie Jun also extended an invitation to Lin Yi, hoping that he could join his team. Unfortunately, Lin Yi declined.
Despite this, Xie Jun did not feel depressed. He knew that business cannot be done without righteousness, and it never hurts to maintain a good relationship with Lin Yi.
