Killing the enemy who had been scheming against him in the shadows and acquiring some Origin Power, Lin Ye could be said to have made a huge profit.

As for Gongsun, who was severely injured and would need some time before he could cause trouble again, it was also a bonus.

It could be said that Gongsun was practically Lin Ye's financial benefactor, almost to the point of gifting himself away.

Watching Lin Ye leave, the worry on Gongsun's face gradually faded away.

"Is Origin Power so easy to obtain? Hehe..." he chuckled lightly.

This thing, if held by someone powerful, is a Supreme Treasure.

But without enough power, it becomes the root of disaster leading to one's death.

And someone like Lin Ye, does he really count as powerful...

At least in the short term, Gongsun had no plans of coming into contact with Lin Ye again.

As for what the other Demon Gods thought, that was beyond his control.

"Time to slip away..."

Gongsun shook his head, this blow was a serious one, and without recuperating for a good hundred years or so, he probably couldn't return to his peak state.

...

[Settling...]

After Lin Ye chose to quit, the settling process immediately began.

In front of him, a statistics panel appeared, showing all the data from this game, including the number of troops under his command, the number of kills, and other such values.

And after the final tally, these values would be transformed into the last reward Lin Ye could earn in this game—Experience Value!

You could say that many people were keen to participate in Gongsun's game, precisely because the rewards from Gongsun's game, whether items or Experience Value, were far more than in ordinary Secret Realms.

Of course, if you lost, the outcome was truly tragic.

Essentially, it was a form of gambling. Winning could lead to immense wealth, but losing meant losing everything, including possibly becoming Gongsun's property.

But Lin Ye, in two consecutive occasions, had defeated Gongsun, earning substantial rewards.

This time was no exception. After the settling, the experience value Lin Ye gained directly raised his Holy Flame Priest to Level 35.

As for the Space Mage, it also directly increased to Level 30, finally reaching the level for a Second Transformation.

"This leveling speed, it's impossible to achieve without taking some unconventional routes..." Lin Ye sighed softly.

If he had followed the traditional paths, doing Secret Realm tasks, engaging in battles, how long would it have taken to raise his Holy Flame Priest to Level 35?

It could be said that the difficulty was extremely high!

After the Second Transformation, for many Professionals, the time needed to level up was generally calculated in years.

A Professional with decent talent, as long as they worked hard to level up, could still achieve a rate of one level per year until they reached their bottleneck.

For Lin Ye, having reached Level 35 in less than a year after awakening, this starting point alone already surpassed more than 99% of Professionals.

It's truly extraordinary.

As Lin Ye completed the settling, he returned to the Professional Plaza in Shenzhen.

At this time, Lin Ye saw a world announcement that left him somewhat speechless...

[The hidden reward of 'King's Game' has been claimed by the Professional 'Lin Ye', and the game will be completely closed today!]

Lin Ye was speechless towards Gongsun, thinking, "If you can't afford to play, just say so. Why use me as a scapegoat?"

Last time, when Gongsun closed the Treasure Chest game, he also used Lin Ye as a scapegoat.

However, this tactic was indeed effective, as the public's opinion shifted from 'Gongsun can't afford to play' to something like 'Lin Ye is unfair', 'Lin Ye took everything from Gongsun'.

Of course, these are more like playful banter, discussing the matter in jest.

Watching rich people being taken advantage of like this is quite entertaining.

Everyone was curious what Lin Ye gained this time, forcing the wealthy Gongsun to cease operations.

It's safe to say that Lin Ye surely gained a lot from this.

But as for what exactly transpired, no one would ever know.

Except for Lin Ye and Gongsun, no one would know that a Space Mage named Gao Lanlan died in the game, becoming a stepping stone for Lin Ye to take advantage of Gongsun.

But even if people found out, no one would blame Lin Ye.

After all, Gao Lanlan brought it upon herself.

Any Professional who, for whatever reason, pledges allegiance to the Abyss Demon God can no longer be considered human, but should be classified as an Abyssal Demon.

Thus, dying at the hands of a human Professional is a fitting death for them.

Listening to the people around discussing how he took advantage of Gongsun, Lin Ye just pulled down his hat brim and moved through the crowd.

If these people were in the same game as him, they definitely wouldn't be laughing now.

Even those who managed to survive wouldn't know they just brushed past death.

Someone like Zhong Ziyu, who encountered Lin Ye, was lucky. Those who encountered Gao Lanlan were surely killed by her.

From the beginning, this game was set up for Gao Lanlan to kill Lin Ye.

Others were just tools playing a supportive role...

But fortunately, before entering the game, Lin Ye met Sikong Ming and acquired the Space Mage profession and the Space Manipulation skill.

If not, it's hard to say who would have killed whom.

Just from Gao Lanlan's final outburst, she definitely had the power to kill Lin Ye at that time.

She was just initially so scared by Lin Ye's immunity to Space Skills that her subsequent performance was extremely poor and did not match her profession and level.

"It's still early... might as well go and complete the Second Transformation for the Space Mage." Lin Ye muttered.

The experience value gained in the game had nearly half wasted.

Because his two professions split the experience value in half.

The experience value enough to raise the Holy Flame Priest to Level 35 was certainly enough for the Space Mage to surpass Level 30.

But unfortunately, Lin Ye's Space Mage had not completed the Second Transformation, and the level cap was locked at Level 30, so a lot of allocated experience value was wasted.

If he didn't want to continue wasting experience value, Lin Ye needed to complete the Space Mage's Second Transformation immediately.

"Might as well practice those new skills I acquired." Lin Ye felt a bit eager, besides acquiring a lot of Origin Power from Gongsun, his biggest gain was stealing Space Skills from Gao Lanlan!
