Chapter 101

Fortunately, his mental fortitude was exceptional, allowing him to quickly regain his composure.

"Damn, this is the roof—how did you even get up here?"

"And is the armor fully charged now?"

His gaze shifted to the Red Flood Demon Armor.

He noticed that its Thunder Pool passive had unmistakably reached 100%.

Satisfied, Qin Han stored the Demon Armor away with a nod.

With a wave of his hand, he also recalled Nightmare and Moonlight Shadow.

"Everything’s done. This trip to Thunder Poison Island should come to an end now. It’s time to meet that Sword Dojo master!"

As he turned to head back inside, he saw Lan Xin already standing there, her luggage packed and ready.

"Are we leaving now?"

Qin Han glanced at the bundle behind her.

The indicator on the Purple Crystal Puppet was glowing a bright yellow—clearly, it was filled with gold.

It seemed that even with the High Priest gone, some desires, once awakened, never truly faded.

When she returned, the Sword Dojo would likely be a different place.

"Wait a little longer. Before we go, let’s say goodbye to Elder Lei."

Lan Xin nodded softly at his words, then sat back down at the opulent dressing table, still clutching her bundle.

Her eyes lingered on the golden ornaments, filled with reluctance.

As Qin Han pushed the door open to head downstairs, he nearly collided with Elder Lei, who was coming up.

The old man’s face lit up with joy.

"Young Hero Qin! It’s wonderful that I found you here. I was afraid you’d leave without a word."

"There are a few things I’d like to present to you on behalf of Thunder Poison Island."

Qin Han was taken aback.

"What things? Are they important?"

Elder Lei smiled and gestured for him to follow.

"You’ll see soon enough."

With that, he led the way downstairs.

Noticing this, Lan Xin picked up her bundle and trailed after them.

The three descended to the first-floor hall.

The moment Qin Han stepped inside, his eyes widened in shock.

The hall was filled with large chests, their lids all open, revealing stacks of smelted gold bricks inside.

"These yellow trinkets are plentiful on the island, and they’re of no use to us. Since we believe in making the most of resources, please take them all!"

Lan Xin stared at the mountains of gold bricks, her face a picture of envy.

She had only managed to sneak away with a meager amount, yet here was Qin Han, receiving piles of gold without even asking.

Qin Han, however, paid no attention to her expression.

Gold was incredibly useful—a universal currency in the game, with countless applications ahead.

No matter how much he got, he wouldn’t refuse it.

Without hesitation, he waved his hand and stored all the gold away.

After converting it, his backpack now held a staggering million gold coins!

Seeing Qin Han accept the gold, Elder Lei’s wrinkled face broke into a delighted grin.

This was good.

Young Hero Qin’s power was unmatched, yet he was fair in his dealings.

By accepting the gold, he had formed a favorable connection with Thunder Poison Island.

If trouble ever arose in the future, perhaps he would lend a hand out of gratitude for this gift.

With a powerhouse like him involved, even the gravest crisis would be trivial.

"Alright, it’s time to go. Take care."

With the gold secured, Qin Han gave a casual wave.

He had already spent enough time on Thunder Poison Island.

There were still more important matters awaiting him in the Beginner's Village.

Elder Lei said, "Young Hero Qin, I wish you a bright future and smooth sailing in the days to come."

Qin Han nodded. "You've grown old too. Take care of your health. Perhaps we’ll meet again someday."

As he spoke, he took out the Teleportation Token and crushed it in his hand.

The next moment, a familiar purple Teleportation Gate appeared before them.

"Let’s go. It’s time to return," Qin Han said, glancing at Lan Xin.

Lan Xin nodded and stepped into the Teleportation Gate.

Qin Han followed suit, but just as one foot crossed the threshold, Elder Lei suddenly spoke again:

"Before you leave, could you tell me how to deal with Li Yang? Without your word, I dare not act against him."

Without turning back, Qin Han left a single sentence as he vanished through the gate:

"Do not kill, do not use!"

Watching the Teleportation Gate disappear, Elder Lei repeated Qin Han’s words and couldn’t help but nod repeatedly.

"Li Yang guided the way and gathered information to atone for his sins. He even saved lives in times of crisis, which counts as merit. But this man is treacherous and cunning, his motives unpredictable. If we use him, he may turn on us. It’s best not to use him at all."
