I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3047: Chapter 3048: I Don’t Trust Just Anyone, Not Even My Own Son

Instinctively, Lin Yi pulled out his dagger and scalpel.

He confronted the massive brown bear before him.

Seeing the human in front of it, the brown bear stood on two legs, over four meters tall, resembling a prehistoric monster.

Humans seemed insignificant before it.

Bang, bang, bang—

With a roar, the brown bear charged at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi did not sit passively; he acted almost simultaneously.

After observing the terrain, he dodged swiftly, avoiding the bear’s attack path.

In the blink of an eye, he was by its side, and with lightning speed, he stabbed with the dagger and scalpel.

The bear’s fur was as tough as armor, but it was no match for the scalpel.

It pierced its skin with little effort.

The familiar Defensive Master Dagger only penetrated a bit, achieving no substantial effect.

This scene also caught Moon’s eye.

Such a difference seemed impossible in her memory.

Through this attack, Lin Yi became more aware of the importance of weapons.

The creatures living deep within or in the hinterlands were more formidable than he imagined.

For the following attacks, Lin Yi used the same method each time, inflicting damage but not to the bone.

To the bear, this level of damage was almost superficial.

During this, Lin Yi tried to attack its eyes but found no opportunity.

He then tried various other ways to attack the brown bear.

But his strength, compared to the massive creature, was insignificant, like a drop in the ocean, posing no threat.

"Let me try."

Moon called out, and Lin Yi retreated.

She leapt onto the bear’s back!

Seeing Moon’s immense strength, Lin Yi admired her.

The gap between S-Class and C-Level was like clouds and mud.

The bear roared and snarled, trying to shake Moon off, but to no avail.

With a determined look, Moon climbed up its thick mane to its head, pulled out a silver-gray dagger from her lower back, and fiercely stabbed it into the bear’s head!

Roar!

The anguished roar echoed through the forest.

Lin Yi’s combined attacks didn’t achieve the same effect as that single move.

On Moon’s face was a murderous look, and with several consecutive stabs, the bear turned even more frenzied, as if out of control.

Simultaneously, Moon jumped off the bear, wiped the blood off her dagger, and nodded to Lin Yi, "Let’s go."

Though the bear wasn’t dead, it was no longer a threat in this state.

There were more matters to attend to, no need to waste time here.

"How do you feel?" Moon asked.

"No problem running away."

"You’re a grown man; can’t you show some ambition instead of always thinking of running?"

"If I had boundless stamina, exhausting it to death would be possible, but once hit, it could break my ribs with a single strike."

"That’s a fair point, but you’ve done well with what you’ve achieved," Moon said:

"If you reach A-level, you should be better than Song Jinmin, and reaching S-Class, you might surpass me."

"What about compared to my dad?"

"As a young man, you should be realistic and not overthink."

Lin Yi shrugged and said no more.

But he gained more insight into Poker.

Even though they were both at S-Class, his father’s strength was likely much greater than Moon’s.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said that.

The upcoming journey made even Moon proceed cautiously.

The two alternated scouting all directions, looking for relatively safe paths to prevent unexpected situations.

During this process, Lin Yi’s mind was in full swing.

Though unfamiliar with such professional matters, through the Sage’s Wisdom, he grasped some basics.

The oxygen levels here differed from those in the outer regions, affecting organisms differently.

Normally, such differences wouldn’t be so significant.

Lin Yi clearly remembered that the brown bear was not only enormous but its fangs and claws surpassed those of outer forest creatures.

In Lin Yi’s view, on a not-so-large island with similarly looking terrains and topographies, such drastic changes seemed unlikely.

Having pondered long without answers, he decided to consult an expert once back.

About an hour later, the path ahead gradually leveled out.

Lin Yi felt the ground slowly rising as he walked on a highland.

Soon, a mountain appeared ahead.

The mountain’s rocks were gray-brown, and one side had a cliff as if cut by a sharp blade.

"The ruins are beneath that mountain; let’s hurry, we’re almost there."

"Okay."

With an open view and no cover around, the two could easily survey the surroundings, quickening their pace.

Lin Yi’s heart also filled with anticipation.

Curious about what the mysterious ruins might hold.

...

Meanwhile, Poker and Flame Dragon’s team had retreated and were resting in a clearing.

After several days of study, they were still clueless about the Stone Gate, leaving everyone disheartened.

They all knew time was of the essence.

If delayed too long, other organizations might discover it, and they’d lose the advantage.

"Has the Central Guards Brigade come up with a feasible solution?"

Lin Jingzhan asked Jiang Zhengnan.

"The patterns are too complex; they’ve devised several plans via computer, but each lacks something."

After several days of collaboration, Jiang Zhengnan’s view of Lin Jingzhan changed significantly.

Despite being dubbed a legendary man, he was approachable, without airs.

Even though Flame Dragon’s strength paled compared to Poker, he maintained a friendly demeanor and took Jiang Zhengnan’s suggestions seriously.

This was why Jiang Zhengnan could converse with him calmly.

"If this drags on, things might become problematic."

"Let’s wait for Lin Yi; he’s full of ideas and might come up with something."

"Haha..."

Lin Jingzhan patted Jiang Zhengnan on the shoulder and said:

"Relying on a young lad hardly seems promising for future leadership."

Jiang Zhengnan laughed too, "He’s your kid, providing some positive feedback is deserved."

"So many lives are in my hands; I don’t trust easily, even if he’s my son."
