Chapter 187
After arriving above Fang Mitu's home, Yu Xunge instructed Tu Lan to wait for her in the air. She slowly descended, hovering mid-air to scan the surroundings. Soon, she spotted the oddly shaped dark green stone by the stone table in the Fang family's courtyard.
Just as Fang Mitu had described, the two brothers were using this peculiar stone as a tool, placing it in a basket filled with walnuts. Yu Xunge didn’t waste time admiring the stone or reflecting on how smoothly this trip had gone. She quickly used her detection skill to check for dangers and traps, then swiftly landed, grabbed the stone, and took off again, moving like a flowing stream.
Tu Lan didn’t lag behind. As soon as she sensed Yu Xunge approaching, she flapped her wings and took off, keeping a vigilant eye on her surroundings.
That posture, that silhouette, that sneaky vibe… it was becoming increasingly familiar.
Tu Lan had previously invited her to visit the Dragon Nest, but Yu Xunge was determined never to follow Tu Lan there again.
She had raised a cosmic-level protected creature and beloved pet into this state; she wondered if it would even survive…
**Chapter 242: A Ticket Escape Shakes the Central Authority…**
The invisible Yu Xunge and Tu Lan finally hovered in mid-air—there was no safe place in the sky.
Yu Xunge directly placed the stone near Tu Lan's mouth for her to bite open. With a crunch, fragments fell away, revealing a twelve-sided token in Yu Xunge's hand.
The token was snow-white, about the size of Yu Xunge's palm, inscribed with twelve different characters representing the twelve alien tribes of Zelan.
Yu Xunge examined the token under the moonlight, holding it parallel to her eyes. As she slightly shook it, she noticed a faint "人" character shimmering in the moonlight.
**[Legion Token] (Special): Form your own faction and embark on the path you and your companions deem worthy, to become the legends spoken of by the world, or to revel before the world is destroyed.**
This was what players referred to as a guild token. Yu Xunge tucked the Legion Token away; she had no intention of forming a legion herself. Instead, she planned to sell it to the Special Affairs Bureau. The first faction in Blue Star should, and must be, an official one with a somewhat righteous style, which would help stabilize the back end.
Upon hearing her plan, Tu Lan asked curiously, “Are you working for them?”
Yu Xunge stared blankly at Tu Lan: How can you say that?!
But this time, she had her own agenda. The Legion Token was of no use to her, and it would quickly depreciate starting next year. Right now, it was at its most valuable moment. She intended to use this token to make the Special Affairs Bureau owe her a huge favor!
At least for the short term, they should behave and not think of plotting against her.
With this Legion Token, the Special Affairs Bureau wouldn’t dare to act against her openly; otherwise, no one would want to cooperate with them.
Most importantly, she needed to leverage this Legion Token to borrow some power from Ding Hai… While her wings were still unformed, she needed an ally to shield her for a while.
She wouldn’t let herself feel invincible just because she had Tu Lan. Tu Lan was great, but she couldn’t fully entrust her safety to a dragon. She assessed the situation, calculating only her own strength; she was her most reliable asset.
Yu Xunge skillfully led Tu Lan to the pet cabin of the plane, preparing to take the free ride back to S City.
On the plane, Tu Lan teased the little dog in the nearby pet carrier with her tail and then asked curiously, “Why are we sitting here? I see there are plenty of seats up front just for you Blue Star people. Are you sitting here to keep me company?”
Yu Xunge: Huh? Oh right…
This time, she had come with Zhao Shuying and the others to attend the concert openly, without doing anything that would leave a trace. She could have easily bought a ticket and sat comfortably!
She had gotten so used to it… It was truly frightening how habitual it had become. Without thinking, she had transformed into a cat and come here, as smooth as heading straight to the cockpit after boarding the plane.
But could she tell Tu Lan about this? Absolutely not.
In her cat form, Yu Xunge turned around, presenting her backside to Tu Lan, opened the game interface, and found Xiao Zhao.
**[Yu Xunge]: I have something good.**
**[Zhao Shuying]: What kind of good? Something like the little bear cookies?**
**[Yu Xunge]: At least an A-level skill.**
**[Zhao Shuying]: Wow~ What treasure is so expensive? Send it over so I can take a look.**
**[Yu Xunge]: [Legion Token]**
One minute later.
**[Zhao Shuying]: Where are you right now?**
**[Yu Xunge]: On the plane.**
**[Zhao Shuying]: The 10:30 PM flight?**
**[Yu Xunge]: Yeah.**
Great, once they landed, she wouldn’t even need to take a taxi. With Xiao Zhao’s high emotional intelligence, he would definitely come to pick her up.
A few minutes later, Tu Lan hadn’t even finished a round of beginner Sudoku when the announcement came over the intercom, stating that there was an emergency situation, and this flight needed to make an emergency landing. Passengers were advised to remain calm, and all would receive game coins as compensation.
Yu Xunge scratched her cat face in annoyance: She had a bad feeling about this.
The plane quickly descended nearby; nowadays, with various talents, there was no need to find the nearest airport.
Yu Xunge buried her face in her paws, feeling her head buzz.
Sure enough, she soon received a message from Zhao Shuying.
**[Zhao Shuying]: Hey? Where are you? I don’t see you in the cabin.**
**[Zhao Shuying]: Ms. Yu, did our enthusiasm scare you? I apologize!**
**[Zhao Shuying]: Sis?? Xiao Zhao is here to pick you up.**
**[Yu Xunge]: I’m in the pet cabin…**
When a plump white and orange cat accompanied by a dragon stepped out of the cabin, they saw two neat rows of players standing outside, all fully armed, many of whom were top players from the Jiao Long group.
This scene was something she had only seen on the news, as if a red carpet had been rolled out on the ground.
What a mess, escaping a ticket had stirred up the central authority…
Standing at the front, besides Zhao Shuying, was a middle-aged man Yu Xunge had never seen before. The two were smiling down at her and Tu Lan, their expressions perfectly managed.
But Yu Xunge couldn’t shake the feeling of being pricked all over.
Especially Zhao Shuying’s gaze, as if he were looking at a billionaire grandmother who woke up at 5 AM every day to queue for free eggs at the pharmacy.
If she had known, she would have waited until after landing to discuss this with Zhao Shuying… The Special Affairs Bureau’s emphasis on this matter exceeded her expectations. Wasn’t it safe enough with her holding onto this? Why the rush?!
Yu Xunge approached Zhao Shuying in her cat form, elegantly raised a paw to wipe her face, and meowed, “Tu Lan is scared of flying; I’m here to keep her company.”
Tu Lan: ·?·
Yu Xunge silently told Tu Lan: Your pocket money is doubling next month!
Tu Lan immediately nodded at Zhao Shuying, her dragon face looking serious: “Ah yes, I’m scared, extremely scared.”
All the players present suddenly understood.
Only Zhao Shuying’s expression didn’t change at all.
Yu Xunge confidently met his gaze: Got a problem with that?
The portal behind them slowly opened, and Zhao Shuying slightly bent forward, his right hand sweeping outward from his abdomen, making a gesture of invitation toward the plump cat and dragon on the ground: None at all!
The group directly used the teleportation array to head to the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau in S City. Yu Xunge wasn’t worried that the Bureau would shortchange her; once inside, she handed over the [Legion Token] to the person in charge of the transfer.
She felt relatively at ease with the Special Affairs Bureau.
The little bear cookie incident was merely a transaction; the S City Special Affairs Bureau had paid an information fee, but when the Bureau headquarters publicly announced the function of the little bear cookies, they still made sure to mention Yu Xunge, thanking her for her help.
Just based on this, she knew the decision-makers at the Bureau were decent people.
Zhao Shuying led Yu Xunge and Tu Lan to the conference room, pulling out a booklet for Yu Xunge to choose from.
It was filled with A-level skill books currently held by the Special Affairs Bureau, most of which were dropped from clearing beast bosses, with a few obtained through irregular means in Zelan.
Yu Xunge quickly selected a skill that could restore mana.
**[Magic Echo] (A-level): After using this skill, each damage you deal will convert 10% of the damage value into your mana. The converted mana can be stored without being limited by the caster's mana cap, lasting for 2 minutes with a cooldown of 10 minutes.**
After confirming, the skill book was quickly delivered to her hands.
Zhao Shuying asked, “Do you need anything else?”
Yu Xunge shook her head: “One A-level skill is enough.” No matter how expensive, this favor would be settled.
Zhao Shuying replied earnestly, “The Special Affairs Bureau will remember everything you’ve contributed.”
**Chapter 243: The World’s First Legion—[Ding Hai]!**
If Yu Xunge were to sell this Legion Token outside, those factions that had already begun to take shape would definitely pay any price to acquire it. Forget just one A-level skill; the final deal could easily be for three A-level skills, not to mention a considerable amount of gold coins.
Moreover, this was the very first Legion Token in all of Blue Star!! Its value was immeasurable!
Just as the twelve alien tribes of Zelan were secretly competing, the countries of Blue Star were also subtly vying against each other.
With Yu Xunge’s strength, she could easily protect the Legion Token without worrying about those factions resorting to underhanded tactics.
