With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 237 Returning to the City and Consolidating the Foundation

"I...I completed a series of quests to help the alchemy mentor 'Ella' find the lost recipes, and she has several hundred points of favorability towards me."

Although no one can talk to big shots like City Lord Xiao Yan or Xiao Tianhao, the goodwill of these mid-to-high-level NPCs is already a very valuable resource!

"Alright!" Zhang Tianya's spirits lifted. "Now, I'm giving you a crucial task! Take the gifts these NPCs might like from the guild warehouse and visit them! Subtly inquire about materials like 'Abyssal Demon Iron,' 'Immortal Soul,' 'Law Fragment,' 'Astral Dust Crystal,' 'Eternal Well Water,' and 'Star Core'! Be mindful of your methods! Report any leads to me immediately!"

"clear!"

"Mission accomplished!"

The members who were named immediately sprang into action, carrying gifts such as fine wines, rare herbs, and magic gems prepared by the alliance, and set off for every corner of Sunset City with high hopes.

Zhang Tianya took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and immediately informed Lin Tian of this new direction and progress via communicator.

"Boss Lin Tian, ​​we players can't find any clues about the materials you need right now. One member suggested that we might try asking the high-level NPCs in Luoxia City. We've already arranged for several members with high affinity with certain NPCs to try, and we're still waiting for news."

After sending the message, Zhang Tianya waited anxiously. He didn't know if Lin Tian would think the idea was far-fetched, or if it would be too late.

A moment later, Lin Tian's concise reply came: "Okay, good idea."

These few words brought Zhang Tianya a sense of relief, and strengthened his resolve to follow this path.

At the same time, Zhang Tianya didn't forget to share this idea with Li Weiwei. Although they were potential competitors, he was willing to share information in helping Lin Tian.

Upon receiving the news, Li Weiwei's eyes lit up, and she immediately followed suit, mobilizing members of Blood Romance who had good relationships with NPCs to join this special "information raid" operation.

......

With a blink, Lin Tian's figure instantly returned from the sparsely populated, monster-infested high-level map to the bustling central square of Luoxia City.

Good heavens, the moment he landed, a wave of noise mixed with faint excitement rushed towards him, almost knocking him over.

At this moment, Luoxia City is ten times more bustling than a subway station during rush hour in the real world!

Looking around, the streets were filled with players rushing about.

Warriors carrying greatswords taller than themselves, their bodies bulging with muscles, rushed out of the city while munching on dry rations, shouting, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't let those bastards from the 'Mad Wolf Gang' steal the BOSS again!"

There was a mage wearing a gorgeous robe, but the hem of the robe was covered in mud. He was haggling fiercely with someone, arguing for a few copper coins to save on a set of intermediate mana potions.

More often, groups of three or five players huddled together on the bulletin board or in a corner, heads pressed together, discussing animatedly.

"Have you heard? The 'Golden Flower Merchant Guild' has raised prices again! They're now selling a confirmed level 45 elite monster's coordinates for 5,000 gold!"

"Damn it, it's all because of the guild creation order! I almost got double-crossed in the wilderness yesterday, and all the materials I worked so hard to collect went to waste!"

"Hey, do you guys think Lin Tian is still selling guild creation tokens? If only we could squeeze one out of his fingers..."

"Dream on! Even Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei can't contact him, so we small fry shouldn't even think about it. We'd better stick to finding out information about the BOSS..."

Various terms related to "guild creation order", "BOSS coordinates", and "material prices" buzzed in the air like flies.

Lin Tian casually put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked through the bustling crowd.

His attire, along with the Star-Eating Staff in his hand that seemed capable of swallowing even light, actually made him quite conspicuous in this chaotic environment.

What's even more striking is his calm aura, so different from his surroundings, as if all the noise around him is separated from him by an invisible barrier.

He keenly noticed that there were many unfamiliar faces in the city.

These players, who are generally well-equipped, know with their toes that the news of the "guild creation order" must have attracted all the "sharks" who were sniffing out the opportunity from all directions.

However, Lin Tian had absolutely no interest in what these people were planning to do.

Guild creation token? To him, that thing was no different from a slightly nicer stone by the roadside; he had casually given away two of them before.

Right now, all he can think about are the mysterious-sounding materials he needs to advance his two hidden classes—[Dominator] and [Starry Sky Mystic].

He silently parted the surging crowd and walked straight toward the professional hall in the city center.

To be honest, Lin Tian couldn't quite remember the last time he had seriously visited this professional hall of fame.

If I remember correctly, the last time I came here was to submit the quest to clear out the lurking abyss creatures outside the city. Back then, this place was quite deserted.

While he was pondering this, others had already stepped onto the broad white jade steps of the professional hall.

Looking up, wow, it was completely different from the deserted place I remembered!

This professional hall in front of me is as bustling as a vegetable market...

No, it's even more outrageous than a wet market!

At the entrances to each profession area, there were queues of moderate length, and the halls were packed with players waiting to hand over quests, learn skills, or simply find teammates.

The sounds of conversation, skill demonstrations, and instructors explaining blended together, buzzing and echoing beneath the towering dome.

His mere appearance was like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil; the surrounding area fell silent for a moment, then erupted into an even greater commotion.

"Holy crap! Look! It's Lin Tian!"

"It really is him! Boss Lin Tian is back!"

"Hey bro! Look here! Can you tell me where's the most efficient place to fight the boss?"

"Boss Lin Tian, ​​are you still issuing guild creation tokens? The price is negotiable!"

"Hey pro, please carry me!"

Excitement, admiration, and even a touch of greed surged from all directions, and countless gazes shone upon him like spotlights.

Lin Tian was already used to this. His face remained expressionless as he nodded slightly in the direction the voice came from, as if to say hello. However, he did not stop walking and headed directly towards the mage class area.

Arriving at the door of the familiar mage instructor's room, I found several other people waiting there.
