Chapter 125 - Departure

Ling Yi knew what Lin Shurou was trying to say.

“We’ll make plans based on the situation after the first day of the event,” He said.

However, one thing was for sure.

That was, he had to go out and fight for a long time at night.

The situation was much more complicated than it was on God’s Path.

This was because there were players of a higher level than him in the main world, as well as dark players with ill intentions.

The Night Stone was an active currency that could be stolen.

At that time, not only would he have to deal with the monsters, but he would also have to be careful of other people.

“Aish.”

Ling Yi sighed and shook his head to stop thinking about it.

He turned his head and saw that Lin Shurou was only wearing a thin, translucent crimson dress. He couldn’t help but ask, “Are you trying to tempt me?”

Lin Shurou was deep in thought and looked up at him.

Her blue and watery eyes blinked, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on her snow-white face, which added a few traces of maturity.

She smiled gently, revealing her white teeth, and said, “Yup,”

The moment she finished speaking, she reached out her fair and tender hands to wrap around Ling Yi’s neck and continued, “Actually, I didn’t want this to happen… But if I can, I really want to charm you to death for the rest of my life~”

“I want you to be obsessed with my body and stay by my side forever.”

With that, she pushed him onto the sofa.

Looking at the latter’s stunned expression, she smiled sweetly and then slowly bent down.

…

Noon of the 10th.

Shenxia’s upper capital, the Luo family’s back garden.

In the pavilion, two young and beautiful women were sitting opposite each other.

“Why did you suddenly come to see me?” Luo Yao asked curiously as she poured tea for the woman in front of her.

The woman sitting opposite her was her good friend Xia Wanqing.

This woman was extremely beautiful and her facial features were exquisite and elegant. Her long, straight black hair fell to her waist, and her dark eyes, which were as deep as the starry sky, seemed to contain infinite spirituality.

She looked at the young girl in front of her and smiled. “I’m here to thank you,”

“Huh? Thank me?” Luo Yao blinked her eyes as a hint of doubt appeared in her faint golden eyes.

“Yes, I am.”

Xia Wanqing revealed a bright smile, “I’ve heard that you went to find him for me. You even gave him a rare item for that.”

She stretched out her hand, and a bead emitting a soft green light appeared in her palm. She then handed it to Luo Yao.

“This is a natural pearl that can prolong one’s life and restore one’s vitality. It’s my reward to you.”

“No, no, no, this…”

Luo Yao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she saw Xia Wanqing’s smiling face, she stopped herself.

“Alright, I’ll take it.”

She knew that it was useless to refuse.

The woman had a strong personality. No one could stop her even if they combined the power of ten horses at the same time.

Seeing that Luo Yao accepted her reward, Xia Wanqing’s smile grew wider.

“I’ve come this time to bid you farewell.”

“What?” Luo Yao, who was playing with the cool bead in her hand, couldn’t help but be surprised when she heard this. “Farewell? Where are you going?”

Xia Wanqing didn’t try to be a riddler, and got straight to the point, “I’m going to leave the capital with Yunji and go to other places. I’m going to relax and enjoy my life.”

“With Yunji? Oh, that’s right, you two are on the same boat.”

Both of them were women who were restricted by the bet, so it was not surprising that they knew each other.

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Yao’s eyes suddenly rolled and she giggled, “I’m afraid it’s just a distraction. You’re really going to find 01, right?”

Xia Wanqing did not answer. She just looked at the teacup in front of her calmly, not knowing what she was thinking.

“So where are you going for your first stop?”

“Mm… Before we set off, sister Yun mentioned that there was a place she wanted to visit. So, our first stop is still unclear.”

“Oh, when are you guys leaving?”

“In the afternoon.”

…

The Shenxia Player Alliance’s headquarters was located in the southeast corner of the capital, on a floating island named Tenyuan.

At this time, in an office on the second floor of the headquarters, a middle-aged man with half a head of white hair was frowning as he looked at the information in front of him and fell into deep thought.

‘The Think Tank of the White Alliance was ordered to disband and has been replaced by a new batch of members. The reason is that the Think Tank has repeatedly proposed inferior plans…’

‘Strange. This doesn’t make sense…’

The middle-aged man’s name was Tong Wei, and he was the team leader of the Divine Union headquarters’ operations team.

Just as he was frowning and deep in thought, someone knocked on his office door.

Knock, knock, knock!

“Please come in.”

The door was opened, and a man with gold-rimmed glasses rushed in.

“Boss! The Guardian of Qianjiang City, Tang Yuan, has sent a message saying that he has found traces of the dark organization ‘Sacred Gate’!”

“Huh?!”

Tong Wei furrowed his half-white eyebrows, and his pupils with black circles and white edges quietly became sharper.

Three years ago, they had found and destroyed the organization’s branch in Shenxia in the deep mountains. Now that they were making a comeback, he had every reason to believe that the other party had sent out an even stronger force this time.

He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, “Are there any powerful forces in Qianjiang City?”

He knew that the young man in front of him must have done enough investigation.

Sure enough, the man with glasses calmly replied, “Currently, Tang Yuan is the only level 80 player registered in the entire city. The other five ministers of the town branches are all around level 70.”

“Only 6 people are above level 70?”

“Yes!”

The man with the Golden-framed glasses saw his boss frowning as if he was thinking about who to send out. He remembered his big sister’s threat and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. “Boss, Vermilion Bird and a group of other members are still free on our side.”

Upon hearing this,

Tong Wei raised his head and looked at the depressed expression of his subordinate who had been at his side for many years. He smiled and said, “Why did you specifically mention her? Did she ask you to come to me again?”

“No, no, I didn’t,” Although he said that, the spectacled man nodded frantically.

If he wasn’t wrong, that woman should be eavesdropping outside the door.

Tong Wei chuckled and didn’t mind.

He thought about it seriously and found that it was a good choice to send her out under such circumstances. He nodded and said, “That’s good.”

“But it’s not safe for her to be alone… Go and call all the members who are free to come here.”

“Yes, sir!”

…

The Super Event, “Nightfall,” had already informed them of the event’s flow.

But the rest of the world was still confused.

Could they only use the Night Stones in their respective areas? What about the different regions?

How many monsters would appear every day, and what level would they be?

Questions like these were not posted on the forum until 5:50 in the evening, ten minutes before the event was about to start.

Players around the world quickly came in to check.

[Section 1: Each area is divided into units of town level.]

[Between 2:18 PM to 12 AM, 10 monsters of random level and type will be placed at random locations in the town every minute.]

[Between 3:18 PM to 12 AM, 10 treasure chests will appear randomly in the town every hour.]

[After 4: 23 AM, 1 – 5 Monster Leaders will appear at random in all towns around the world at the same time. Their levels and types are random.]

[After 5:24 AM, all monsters, Monster Leaders, and treasure chests will disappear.]
