The next day, Lin Ye once again stepped into the Professional Plaza.

After a whole night's rest, he had completely washed away the fatigue from three days and nights of continuous battle.

And the newbie level ranking in Shan City had also changed after the night.

The top ten rankings had clearly changed, and even the third and fourth places had reached Level 15.

Such rapid progress was suffocating, with the ranking board changing almost every moment.

However, the first and second ranks remained unchanged.

Lin Ye first, Ke Jue second.

There were two possibilities for this…

One was that when Lin Ye settled his score yesterday, Ke Jue was still in the Secret Realm and hasn't settled up until now.

This situation is quite normal because after reaching Level 10, it's common for a Secret Realm to take several days to complete.

In fact, some Secret Realms might take months to complete a whole process.

Of course, there's also a possibility that she exited the Secret Realm first and reached Level 15 but was quickly surpassed by Lin Ye's score settlement.

After glancing at the ranking, Lin Ye no longer paid attention to it.

Because he was likely to spend several days in the Secret Realm, unable to receive outside information.

As for teaming up, it's not that Lin Ye didn't want to boost his attributes and talents, but it's challenging to find suitable teammates.

Because he's aiming for a Level 20 Secret Realm!

Currently, all the newbies in Shan City are at most Level 15…

Although with effort, he could manage to take them along.

But babysitting a group of fragile experience babies would severely affect Lin Ye's progress.

Of course, there are certainly Level 20 professionals in Shan City besides newbies.

And quite a number of them.

Many professionals voluntarily stay at this stage.

They live by farming the Level 20 Secret Realm and selling resources; this kind of professional doesn't have a strong desire to level up.

After all, surpassing just one level means you can no longer enter low-level Secret Realms.

For professionals with limited talent, their ability to improve upon leveling up might not keep pace with the increased difficulty of Secret Realms.

So, they remain at a certain level and stop leveling up…

Because for them, gaining just one level could mean they can't continue to manage.

Instead of challenging high-risk Secret Realms that could get them killed, they preferred to stay in the Secret Realms they're familiar with, continuously farming resources to make money.

As long as they don't settle the score, they won't gain experience points; just farming these few Secret Realms allows them to live a more prosperous life than most.

This type of professional is called 'Secret Realm Miner,' the most bottom-level group among human professionals but also an indispensable one.

Without these 'Secret Realm Miners,' there wouldn't be affordable potions and Basic Spatial Bags.

And Lin Ye went this time for experience points…

For this alone, those professionals biding their time wouldn't team up with Lin Ye.

As for which Secret Realm to choose this time, Lin Ye already had an idea.

If he purely aimed to farm experience points…

Without a doubt, a private dungeon is the best choice.

Because it only requires mindlessly killing monsters; nothing needed to be considered, and in case of danger, there's even safety staff to pull you out.

It can be said that except for being expensive and lacking loot, there are no downsides.

"Mysterious Tomb, opening it once requires at least 2 million."

Lin Ye quickly found the Secret Realm he was looking for on the professional panel.

This private dungeon was the one Lin Ye found after extensively searching last night, the most suitable for him to grind experience points.

It's the only Level 20 Secret Realm with fast, massive undead monster production!

It's like an all-you-can-eat buffet; as long as you can handle it, you can keep eating.

And this is the selling point of this Secret Realm.

This Secret Realm continuously spawns monsters to attack you until you can no longer manage or your Life Value is depleted.

"I can almost handle it by myself…"

Lin Ye calculated, as having one more person required an additional charge of 1 million, so soloing is undoubtedly the most cost-effective.

Spending 2 million to farm a Secret Realm isn't something newsworthy.

Because for many rich kids, the cost of farming a Secret Realm could reach this figure…

Just like the 'Purification of Stratholme' mission forcibly altered by Lin Ye, the second-generation wealthy people form parties, each participant might earn anywhere from ten thousand to a hundred thousand based on their strength.

Filling up a hundred slots would cost several million.

Lin Ye spending 2 million on a private dungeon was nothing worth reporting.

The key is whether this money was well-spent!

"Hope that the 'Secret Realm Energy' in Gao Family's hands is enough for me to grind…" Lin Ye muttered to himself.

It was only after becoming the Lord of the Secret Realm that Lin Ye realized that opening private dungeons and charging entrance fees was not a business without capital costs.

Because creating dungeon instances and generating monsters, and bosses all require energy consumption.

For a Level 20 Secret Realm like 'Mysterious Tomb,' the energy cost to generate one instance Secret Realm is approximately a million.

With a minimum entry fee of 2 million for 'Mysterious Tomb.'

Once ten instances are opened, the revenue, after deducting costs, means a net profit of at least ten million, which can be considered extremely lucrative.

Yet, the demand is low for Level 20 Secret Realms…

Only during the newbie season might there be demand, generally, it sees few visitors.

Even with just these two to three months during the newbie season, the Mysterious Tomb Secret Realm could easily generate nearly a billion in revenue for the Gao Family.

In a fourth-tier settlement like Shan City, this is already a considerable income, which is why the Gao Family can dominate a region in Shan City.

As for the danger of entering Gao Family's private dungeon…

There's no need to worry about that because the actual controller of this private dungeon is Shan City's Professional Center.

The Professional Center always manages private dungeons as a service.

This is just to ensure the entrant's safety; the profits and costs of the Secret Realm are borne by the owner, with the Professional Center only charging a 1% management fee.

It's as if the Gao Family handed their Secret Realm over to the Professional Center, using its authority to dispel user doubts.

As long as it's within the rules, the Professional Center can fully manage the affairs within the 'Mysterious Tomb.'

So, Lin Ye was not worried about being retaliated against by the Gao Family after entering the Mysterious Tomb…

For Lin Ye, his only concern was whether the Gao Family's Secret Realm Energy was sufficient for him to grind!

After paying 2 million, Lin Ye entered the 'Mysterious Tomb.'

...

At that moment, several Teleportation Arrays appeared in the Professional Plaza.

Ke Jue's figure emerged from one of them.

Her first action was to open the newbie level ranking board.

"17th Level, first place!"

She was a bit excited.

Four days of hard work resulted in a tremendous gain of two levels!

But seeing the second place, she couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"How… did he suddenly reach Level 15?"
