Chapter 299
Wuren's smile grew even brighter. "It doesn't matter at all. So when your daughter comes crying to you, saying I bullied her, remember to look for Zai Jiu and Xun Ge."
Feng Tang stared at Wuren for a few seconds, feeling that Wuren was up to no good. She smiled even more radiantly than Wuren. "That's my fourth daughter. If I'm not looking for her, I'm definitely looking for you."
Wuren: "..."
After years of sparring with Feng Tang, she knew that Feng Tang was just rambling again, like someone who had drunk fake wine.
...
After Yu Xun Ge returned to the past and left her note, she began preparing for the next Divine Game.
Once she exited the world battlefield, a new status appeared beneath her panel information—[Zai Jiu · Divine Game Player] (57 days, 15 hours, 27 minutes).
This meant that if she wanted to retain her eligibility for the game, she had to participate in the Divine Game on March 15 at the latest; otherwise, she would lose her chance to enter the world battlefield forever.
She had less than two months to strengthen her abilities. However, she had another option: enter on March 15 and immediately commit suicide, thus gaining herself an additional 50 days for development.
But after acquiring [Midnight Exile], she truly possessed the capital to play in the battlefield. She couldn't bring herself to be so cowardly.
Step by step, she would first familiarize herself with the skills of [Midnight Exile], then ignite the orange-red wings as much as possible, and learn [Cheers].
She opened the chat interface with Zhao Shuying, planning to exchange for more of the skill [What Weather Do I Want, I'll Handle It Myself].
This went smoothly; she could directly exchange it with dragon-shaped coins. The equipment and items from Blue Star were no longer keeping up with her needs. Her previous plans and ideas had become increasingly crude in her eyes as her strength surged and her horizons expanded.
Zhao Shuying didn't make it difficult for her either; two dragon-shaped coins could be exchanged for one skill crystal of [What Weather Do I Want, I'll Handle It Myself].
Looking back, no matter what schemes had been behind Ding Hai, whenever she truly traded with him, he had never chosen to make things difficult for her.
She calculated that one skill crystal could ignite ten light feathers with lightning power, and she needed 300 of them. To be safe, Yu Xun Ge directly exchanged for 503.
The second thing was to increase her attributes, which followed the same rhythm as before: practice [Cheers] every morning, go to Zelan's main city to stock up in the afternoon, and squeeze in a solo dungeon run in the study at noon.
The third thing was to find more World Tombs.
Ideally, she wanted combinations of World Tombs that could bring more divine talents and skills into the game.
After she exited, she discovered that besides the divine punishments, she had also dropped a World Tomb. Fortunately, it wasn't a World Tomb that formed a key, but a red one that allowed her to enter a minute early. To her surprise, she hadn't lost 10,000 honor points.
She could only speculate for now that using or dying with this World Tomb in the world battlefield wouldn't deduct honor points, but seizing other players' World Tombs would. However, she still didn't know where to spend those honor points...
But one in, one out; after killing A Lin, she had also obtained one. She took out the little red airplane she had brought from the world battlefield.
[World Tomb · Red Airplane ①]: Belongs to the Buried Spring civilization; players from other civilizations can only use it as a ticket.
She no longer worried about the ticket for her next entry into the world battlefield and toyed with the little airplane in her hand.
Mahjong... little airplanes... these World Tombs all had traces of games.
Could this be a little airplane from a flying chess game?
But Blue Star's flying chess could only accommodate four players at most, with each player having four little airplanes, totaling only 15 little airplanes. It was worlds apart from Mahjong. Was the flying chess of the Buried Spring civilization different?
Or was it another game, or perhaps a different way to play?
If it were just flying chess, then no matter how many World Tombs these races gathered, the bonuses for entering the world battlefield would probably not match Zelan...
Wait, Zelan, the Zelan with 12 holy races.
The final choice to join Zelan was Senhai's owl.
And one of the hints in the new player tips for the world battlefield—when a new world is introduced into the battlefield, that world will be rewarded with three World Tombs.
The World Tomb she had obtained from Zai Jiu was also Mahjong, and now Zai Jiu was being invaded by Zelan.
One clue after another flashed through Yu Xun Ge's mind, ultimately converging to a point: perhaps Zelan was once as weak as the Buried Spring civilization. It had developed to its current state by continuously waging wars and invading new worlds.
Thus, the 12 alien races were in constant conflict, as the hatred from the past could never be resolved, just like the current situation between Zai Jiu and Zelan.
But during each invasion of a new world, the 12 alien races would cooperate because they needed to develop—not only their own races but also Zelan...
Yu Xun Ge tidied her emotions and made another trip to the Dark City, returning the books she had stolen from the Moon Lake City library while buying many useful nutritional potions for pets from He Qi Pa.
He Qi Pa had told Yu Xun Ge long ago that these potions were merely placebos with no real effect.
However, now that Yu Xun Ge wanted to buy them, He Qi Pa didn't ask her why she suddenly needed them, nor did she say they were useless. Instead, while collecting money for the potions, she handed Yu Xun Ge a few potion recipes for her to brew herself.
Yu Xun Ge: "Thank you, teacher."
He Qi Pa waved her hand and continued brewing potions.
Yu Xun Ge searched around and found Xiao Ma Qi in the small kitchen. She handed Xiao Ma Qi 200 gold coins.
"If you ever come across that kind of thing you sold me last time, hold onto it and sell it to me. No matter what price you ask, I will buy it. This is just a deposit; I will offer another price later, and the promise from last time still stands."
Xiao Ma Qi tucked away the 200 gold and smiled at her. "Okay!"
After giving He Qi Pa a few bags of rice produced from the [Rice Cross], Yu Xun Ge prepared to leave the alchemy shop.
Just as she was about to step out, He Qi Pa suddenly asked, "If Wuren Yue Huang comes again and asks if you want to go, what should I say?"
Yu Xun Ge paused, turned to look at the necromancer, who was focused on brewing potions. She replied, "I would go."
Only then did He Qi Pa look up at her. After organizing her words for a while, she finally asked, "I heard there are many games there. Are they fun?"
Such clumsy concern. Yu Xun Ge smiled slightly. "Not fun."
The apprentice stood at the door of the alchemy shop, facing away from the street. The midday sun in the Dark City was blinding, and the apprentice stood against the light like a scythe of wind. Yu Xun Ge couldn't shake the feeling that the little black beans in her dark-circled eyes looked a bit moist.
This realization left He Qi Pa at a loss. She had always thought Yu Xun Ge was very strong, that she was the one who played others, but unexpectedly, a single question had revealed the other’s tears. She bit her lip, unsure how to comfort her.
In the end, she awkwardly blurted out, "…Come here, and I'll give you a few more notes and recipes."
This time, Yu Xun Ge genuinely laughed. "I thought you would say you'd give me a few more lessons."
Seeing Yu Xun Ge laugh, He Qi Pa let out a sigh of relief. "Just the notes. You shouldn't come by for a while; Wuren seems really angry with you and is looking for you."
The little bit of sadness in Yu Xun Ge's heart was instantly scared away. What’s wrong with my little lady?
**Chapter 388: [Bloody Butcher] & Coastal Massacre**
After leaving the alchemy shop, Yu Xun Ge made another trip to the auction house.
At that moment, Zhao Shuying suddenly sent her a message.
[Zhao Shuying]: The underwater alien army has landed on the coast. Want to level up?
She glanced at a skill in the auction house.
[Bloody Butcher] (Passive) (S Rank): Each kill automatically extracts a bit of the opponent's power source, which can be used at any time to restore health. It can also be condensed into an energy crystal, which, when consumed, can recharge the blood source for life level evolution, with minimal effect.
An S Rank skill, yet it only cost 20,000 gold.
It seemed the effect was indeed minimal, but Yu Xun Ge still bought it, spending all her gold and even selling a batch of [Little Fish Kingdom Kings] to gather enough money.
[Yu Xun Ge]: I will come.
After receiving the skill book, she learned it immediately, took out the cat head, and returned to Blue Star, heading straight for the coast.
Things had already turned chaotic here. All around her were aliens and players around level 12, but few had flying abilities. The flying owls had already soared into the city, where fighter jets were intercepting in the air.
On the coastline, there were groups of scattered players and players from various legions. When legion players grouped up, their legion insignia appeared above their heads, accompanied by a chaotic display of skills that created a veritable light pollution.
The ground was littered with corpses, both alien and player. Most players were getting more and more caught up in the killing, but those who made it to the front lines were mostly unafraid of battle.
The situation was tense; on the surface, it was hard to say who had the upper hand. The alien army generally had higher levels than the players, but on the coastline, there were also various technological weapons, warships at sea, and fighter jets in the air.
There was hardly any place to step on the entire coastline. Yu Xun Ge flew directly over the sea, stopping only when she was more than a hundred meters from the shoreline. Below her were countless health bars, all belonging to aliens.
These aliens, escorted by sirens, were able to breathe underwater and were steadily approaching the land.
