Chapter 89: Arriving in Shangjing! Selling Houses Again!
At 9:00 AM on September 15, 2052, Wen Yu was already standing outside Terminal 2 of Shangjing City.
Yes, Shangjing City.
Coming to Shangjing City was a last-minute decision Wen Yu made before going to sleep last night.
And there was only one purpose for coming to Shangjing City!
Buying a house!
In 2052, Blue Star was developing rapidly, and restrictions on buying houses had long been lifted; as long as you could afford it, you could buy however you wanted.
After finishing his phone call with Li Jue last night, Wen Yu thought for a long Time.
In two days, when the matter of manifestation was made public, as the capital of China and the safest place in the country, housing prices in Shangjing City would definitely skyrocket again!
Moreover, Wen Yu didn't believe he wouldn't come to Shangjing City in the future, so preparing a place to stay in advance was always a good idea.
So, Wen Yu simply bought a plane ticket and rushed over early the next morning.
Wen Yu hadn't come completely unprepared; he had checked various materials and housing information.
In the end, Wen Yu set his sights on a high-end residential complex on the East Second Ring Road of Shangjing City: [Jinhua - Donglu Island].
"Any residential complex with 'Island' in its name contains scarce resources."
The complex was divided into villa areas and high-end apartments, and Wen Yu's goal was naturally to buy a high-end apartment, as his current financial resources might not be enough to afford a villa in the complex.
He didn't need a guide, so Wen Yu just hailed a car and went straight to the complex's sales office.
The fare was 284... Wen Yu couldn't understand...
"The capital is the capital, after all; taking a taxi is so expensive!"
Upon arriving at the sales office, a rather cute-looking staff member received Wen Yu and asked about his housing requirements.
"I want to buy something on a slightly higher floor. Do you have any units where the basic renovation is completely finished, and the furniture is fully equipped according to the decoration style? I want to move in immediately today after completing the formalities."
"Of course, no second-hand houses."
There were three houses that met Wen Yu's requirements, and the sales lady took Wen Yu to see them one by one.
On the way, Wen Yu also learned about the advantages of this complex. Because the housing prices were high, the residents living in the complex were generally wealthy or noble. From the sales lady's perspective, she told Wen Yu that he would have opportunities to interact with them in the future.
Wen Yu understood, but he wasn't prepared to interact with his neighbors...
Seemingly noticing Wen Yu's indifference, the sales lady continued to introduce: "Our complex is built around a lake. No matter which direction you eventually choose to live in, you can enjoy the emerald green lake water. In the summer, you can also see egrets playing on the island in the middle of the lake."
Wen Yu nodded. Scarce resources. Having wild animals as companions was indeed a scarce resource, and so was the lake.
Seeing the greenery throughout the complex, Wen Yu was quite satisfied.
In the end, Wen Yu chose a residence on the 17th floor on the east side of the lake. After the introduction, Wen Yu also knew that the furniture they provided for the house was the most expensive set that fit the theme of the house.
There were no surprises; Wen Yu chose to pay the full amount for the house, which cost 186,000 per square meter.
Including shared areas, the house was 121.4 square meters in total.
Over 20 million was deducted directly from his card, and Wen Yu's assets instantly shrank by half!
But it made the sales lady's eyes light up!
She probably didn't expect Wen Yu to be so wealthy and domineering, saying he would move in today and actually doing it!
"It hurts! It really hurts! You must increase in value, baby!" At the same Time, Wen Yu kept comforting himself: "It's okay, it's okay! I'll sell houses too after I log on later!"
Wen Yu remembered that he could already create new spatial equipment today.
And because of Wen Yu's wealth, the house purchase procedures were handled extremely quickly!
Before 2:00 PM, Wen Yu had already received the property deed and the room keys.
Politely declining the sales lady's invitation to lunch, Wen Yu carried his bag and entered his new home.
To make it convenient for people to view the house, the sales office arranged for people to clean it every day.
This saved Wen Yu the trouble of hiring someone to clean.
Taking the game helmet out of his bag, Wen Yu chose to log on directly.
——————
Back in Glory City, Wen Yu took the [Fear Ring] (dropped by the Subspace Dragon) out of his warehouse.
Since the equipment he created didn't have any requirements for wearing, Wen Yu naturally prioritized creating equipment with more space.
Holding the [Fear Ring] in his palm, he activated his skill [Space Creation], and the black and white airflow slowly drifted into the accessory again.
Perhaps because the quality of the Fear Ring itself was much higher than the Emperor's one, it took a full 10 minutes for the Fear Ring to complete its space upgrade.
[Fear Ring] (Epic)
Level: 60
Description: "A space ring created by the Space Mage [Time], containing a 15 * 15 * 3 meter space, can hold all inanimate objects, takes effect after binding."
When equipped:
Physical Attack +1000
Strength +300
Agility +300
Class Requirement: Warrior
"Not bad, this is not bad! A 225-square-meter house. Let's sell this house to Brother Rong and the others!"
Through this experience of adding space to an Epic ring, Wen Yu roughly understood the influence of equipment quality on space size.
"I wonder how much space a common ring would have. Would it be enough to put in a pack of instant noodles..."
...
"Brother Rong! Are you there?"
"No."
"..."
"Don't be like that! Brother Rong. There's good news! I'm selling you a piece of equipment!" Wen Yu said.
"A piece of equipment? You're just brushing me off with one? Send it over and let me see it first."
Heh! You stubborn tsundere! Once you see the equipment, you'll be begging me to sell it!
He immediately sent the attributes of the [Fear Ring] to Lin Sirong.
As expected, no one could remain tsundere in front of this piece of equipment.
"You are my brother, did you create this yourself? You have this skill too? Can you make as many as you want?" Lin Sirong asked.
"..." He's as brainless as the Emperor. If I could make them whenever I wanted, I would have filled the streets with them long ago.
"This is the first one I've created! Of course, it's for sale to our respectable and lovely National Team!" Wen Yu said.
"Good lad, you've got a heart!"
The National Team also needed skill upgrade cards, so Wen Yu didn't ask for too much.
In the end, Wen Yu got 7,000 skill upgrade cards and 10 million huaxia coins from Lin Sirong.
This could be considered as replenishing Wen Yu's real-life treasury a bit.
Moreover, 7,000 skill upgrade cards were enough to raise Wen Yu's skills to a terrifying level.
After completing the transaction, Wen Yu and Lin Sirong sat by the teleportation array in Moonlight City and chatted.
"My subordinates have all reached the Second Class Transfer, Brother Rong. Should independent players be close too?"
"It's not that they are close, some ordinary players have already completed their class transfer! Just this morning."
"Ah? Doesn't that mean the news has already leaked?"
"Not yet, a gag order has been issued. But I estimate that as more people complete the class transfer, it won't be able to be contained. The key is that the new laws are not yet fully perfected, and the higher-ups are arguing like crazy about the new laws! We are preparing to announce it on the National News Broadcast tomorrow night."
"In a few days, we might call all the guild leaders of well-known guilds to Shangjing City for a meeting. Look at yourself; if you want to participate, find Time to come to Shangjing City."
What a coincidence, he had only just arrived in Shangjing City today...
And, it would be officially announced tomorrow night!
***
Chapter 90: No Heart!
After parting ways with Lin Sirong.
Wen Yu was also ready to start upgrading his skills again!
"With 7,196 skill upgrade cards, that should be enough to elevate my skills to a relatively terrifying level."
The first skill Wen Yu decided to upgrade was his skill with the highest hidden critical hit attribute: [Chain Lightning]!
Wen Yu discovered that after his Second Class Transfer, his First Class Transfer skills rarely produced results. Only [Chain Lightning], because of its unique bouncing mechanism, remained one of Wen Yu's core skills.
He upgraded the quality of [Chain Lightning] to God-tier in one go!
[Chain Lightning] (God-tier) (Cannot be upgraded)
Effect: Strikes a unit in front with lightning, dealing 200% magic damage. Subsequent lightning will bounce among enemies, bouncing a maximum of 8 times (up to 2 times per individual unit). Each bounce deals 150% magic damage.
Cooldown: 21 seconds
Mana cost: 100
Next, Wen Yu also upgraded his [Elfs Blessing] to God-tier, with the final damage reduction reaching 22%!
"Among the First Class Transfer skills, only [Magic Missile] and [Ice Shard] haven't been upgraded yet. However, the utilization rate of these two skills is too low right now, so I can save them for later."
Next, Wen Yu upgraded the four Second Class Transfer skills that were still at Diamond-tier—[Flashback], [Endless Black Hole], [Void Lock Target], and [Explosive Stance]—all to Legendary-tier!
[Flashback] (Legendary)
Upgrade requirement: skill upgrade card * 1024
Effect: After using this teleportation skill, a mark will be left at the original location. You can choose to return to these coordinates within 10 seconds.
Mana cost: 100
Cooldown: 21 seconds
[Void Lock Target] (Legendary)
Upgrade requirement: skill upgrade card * 1024
Effect: Summons void chains to penetrate up to 10 enemy units within a 100*100 range, dealing 230% magic damage and restricting all actions of the enemy units for 5 seconds.
Cooldown: 21 seconds
Mana cost: 100
[Explosive Stance] (Legendary)
Upgrade requirement: skill upgrade card * 1024
Effect: Can be used after activating a shield. Detonates your own shield, dealing 330% magic damage to enemy units within a 20*20 meter range.
Cooldown: 126 seconds
[Endless Black Hole] (Legendary)
Upgrade requirement: skill upgrade card * 1024
Effect: Releases a black and white black hole at a designated location, dealing 230% magic damage per second to all enemy units within a 50-meter radius, lasting for 10 seconds. All enemy units within the black hole's range will be affected by the black hole's suction.
Cooldown: 42 seconds
After the upgrades were complete, Wen Yu looked at his skill upgrade cards again; only 2,844 remained.
"Not bad, still enough to elevate my ultimate weapon to Immortal-tier!"
He chose to use them immediately! 2,048 skill upgrade cards vanished, and in return, he obtained the Immortal-tier [Space Wormhole]!
Seeing that he still had enough skill cards left, Wen Yu simply upgraded his [Ice Shard] to God-tier quality in one go as well!
"That should be about enough, right? All Second Class Transfer skills have reached Legendary-tier or higher. If the skill upgrade mechanism is the same for the Third Class Transfer, I should be able to learn all the skills immediately."
Looking at the mere 28 skill upgrade cards left in his bag, Wen Yu finally nodded with relief.
"No need to sell spatial equipment anymore. The next piece of spatial equipment I make will be for myself."
By then, he wouldn't need the warehouse at home anymore, and the [enforcer mask] would be even more of a neglected item sitting in Wen Yu's backpack.
——————
After clearing all dungeons, including the [Time Corridor], in one go, Wen Yu's level reached 40 (623,480 / 4,512,000).
Yes, Wen Yu wasn't planning to continue grinding the [Time Corridor].
These past few days, he had been busy fighting the Demon race dungeons and grinding [Alarm Clock Qiu Qiu].
Wen Yu had delayed too much time; on the world rankings, the players in second, third, and fourth place had all reached level 39.
Unfortunately, today's four level 40 dungeon runs didn't drop any Mage equipment for Wen Yu.
Having grinded to level 40 in one go, Wen Yu equipped the two level 40 Diamond-tier accessories: [Wind and Cloud Magic Ring] and [Wind and Cloud Magic Bracelet].
The five-piece set of the [phoenix breath set] only provided Wen Yu with 20% fire resistance, which didn't even count as icing on the cake for him.
With his attributes seeing another boost, Wen Yu set his sights on the level 50 wild monster in [Human King City], the [Strolling Chicken].
After all, since they were both level 50 wild monsters and the experience was the same, killing chickens as tall as a person was much more pleasant than killing some ugly wild monsters.
"I can't do this anymore. Even if I have quests, I must spend at least 2 hours every day grinding monsters to ensure my level always stays in first place."
While grinding monsters, Wen Yu chatted with Li Jue to pass the time.
"I forgot to ask you last night. What class did you transfer to? Is it the legendary [Screen Recording Assassin]?"
"..." Li Jue generally ignored Wen Yu's craziness, acting aloof.
"It's a class called [Trace Amount Assassin]."
"Trace Amount Assassin? Doesn't sound like much. What are the class characteristics? Which aspect did it strengthen?"
"Hmm... how should I put it? The main thing is stealth. While in stealth, I can choose to decompose myself into what are called [Trace Elements]. While being able to penetrate all matter, no one can detect my existence, and no attack can target me."
"...?" Goodness! You, Li Jue, are the one with the bearing of a Great Emperor!
"Is it that ridiculously strong? Penetrating all matter, undetectable by anyone, and untargetable."
"It's not that strong. The attack power is terrible, other skills are almost all for assisting stealth, and the output percentage of assassination skills isn't high either. Furthermore, I cannot initiate attacks while transformed into [Trace Elements]."
"If you could transform into trace elements and enter someone's body, and just burst them from the inside, that would be great..."
"...Don't push your luck. It's not bad. At least you can't die now, right? Escaping and such should be easy, right?"
"With a skill like yours, if you were in the [National Team], you would definitely be a top-tier [Scout]!"
Wen Yu immediately looked at his [Insight Technique]: Anyone using stealth or manipulating space will be detected immediately.
"What is this? Using his own spear to attack his own shield? Isn't this a contradiction!"
But then Wen Yu thought that this might be a matter of priority, seeing whose skill has a higher priority.
He had to find time to test it with Li Jue; just listening to the description, the priority of [Trace Elements] shouldn't be low.
"Can you penetrate all matter?" Wen Yu continued to ask.
"Yes, all matter. Including human bodies, NPCs, wild monsters, mountains, rivers, and even now I can directly go deep into the ground beneath our feet, but it's pitch black inside, nothing to see."
"..." You, Li Jue, are the real protagonist.
"That's great. Aren't you quite fond of adventure? Now there's more playability for you to explore."
"Brother Yu, you can put your worries to rest." Li Jue continued: "I have passed through the bodies of many players and NPCs."
"Players' bodies, no big deal. Whatever they are like in the real world, they are the same after entering the game."
"But when I passed through the bodies of NPCs, I discovered that just like all players, they have livers, spleens, lungs, kidneys, blood, and even brains. Only..."
"They have no heart..."
***
Chapter 91: The Novice Village Crisis!
"..."
"Does it have no heart?" Hearing this news, Wen Yu didn't know what expression to make.
It felt like he should have breathed a sigh of relief, but instead, it made the truth even more convoluted.
"In other words, these NPCs are not real people, then why are they so lifelike..." Wen Yu thought of Ruan Yuming, Luo Yun, and the members of the Moonlight City suicide squad from back then.
"Then what does that make them?"
Luo Yun, who had his own dreams...
Ruan Yuming, who protected Glory City...
And the members of the suicide squad who were "not real people" yet could pull off ambush tactics...
After finishing his chat with Li Jue, Wen Yu's mood actually worsened...
"Li Jue, damn you..."
He glanced at his level: Level 42 (2857270 / 4912000).
"I'm done grinding. I just arrived in Shangjing, I should go out for a walk and grab something to eat. I'll come back to grind rabbits tonight."
Wen Yu hadn't decided whether to attend the meeting Lin Sirong mentioned, but that didn't stop him from choosing to stay in Shangjing for a few more days.
——————
He took off his helmet and realized it was already 9:20 PM Shangjing Time.
Wen Yu sighed.
"Leveling up is really hard now. I grinded for so long and only leveled up a little over 2 levels."
Wen Yu could almost foresee a situation where, once his level was higher, he wouldn't even be able to level up after grinding hard for a whole day.
He strolled downstairs and found that Shangjing was truly different from Rong City; there weren't even many people walking dogs downstairs in the residential complex.
After leaving the complex and walking on the main street, even though it was past 9 PM, people were still rushing about. They seemed eager to take two steps in one.
"The pace of life is really fast. I'm afraid I'm better suited for living in a slow-paced city."
Wen Yu didn't know where to go, so he just wandered around, looking left and right.
It counted as seeing the sights of Shangjing.
He took a taxi to the nearest mall and saw a dumpling shop.
When he was a child, his parents often made dumplings for him, but in his memory, they didn't taste good.
The flour in the South couldn't produce the texture of Northern dumplings.
Having come to the North, Wen Yu decided to give it a try.
Just as he was eating, he didn't expect Lin Sirong to call.
"Get online quickly! Something big has happened!" After saying that, Lin Sirong hung up directly.
"?..."
"What big thing? He didn't even explain clearly."
However, it was clear that he couldn't finish the dumplings.
He paid the bill, walked out the door, and Li Jue's call came in too!
"Brother Yu! Something big has happened!" Li Jue's panicked voice came from the phone.
"Li Jue? What's going on with you? You're a grown man, why are you so jumpy? What does this look like?!"
"Brother Yu, all the Novice Villages in the entire region are in trouble! The system keeps announcing the destruction of Novice Villages. Please get online and take a look!"
"All the monsters in the Novice Villages have become extremely strong! And they are all attacking the safe zones like crazy in suicide missions!"
"..." Novice Village?! My rabbits!!!
"Damn it! Li Jue! You better hold the line for me! At least hold onto one Novice Village! I'm coming back immediately!"
——————
Wen Yu rushed back home with the fastest speed in history, even secretly using Teleportation twice in the process!
Activate!
When Wen Yu logged into the game again, before he even opened his eyes, system prompts were already echoing endlessly in his ears!
"Ding!~"
"Regional Announcement: Novice Village No. 10231 has been destroyed! The system has initiated forced protection! Players belonging to Novice Village No. 10231 will be forced to log out in 10 seconds! After 24 hours, they will be randomly teleported to other Novice Villages! Players, please prepare!"
"Regional Announcement: Novice Village No. 12647 has been destroyed! The system has initiated forced protection! Players belonging to Novice Village No. 12647 will be forced to log out in 10 seconds! After 24 hours, they will be randomly teleported to other Novice Villages! Players, please prepare!"
"Regional Announcement: Novice Village No. 29582 has been destroyed! The system has initiated forced protection! Players belonging to Novice Village No. 29582 will be forced to log out in 10 seconds! After 24 hours, they will be randomly teleported to other Novice Villages! Players, please prepare!"
"Regional Announcement: Novice Village No. 38241 has been destroyed! The system has initiated forced protection! Players belonging to Novice Village No. 38241 will be forced to log out in 10 seconds! After 24 hours, they will be randomly teleported to other Novice Villages! Players, please prepare!"
"Regional Announcement: Novice Village No. 1028194 has been destroyed! The system has initiated forced protection! Players belonging to Novice Village No. 1028194 will be forced to log out in 10 seconds! After 24 hours, they will be randomly teleported to other Novice Villages! Players, please prepare!"
...
Damn, the world is in chaos!
Wen Yu immediately tore up the glory city return scroll.
He opened the regional chat channel and found that it had already been flooded with the same message.
[Sharp Blade - Chen Zhi]: "All online players, please return to your respective Novice Villages immediately to garrison!"
[Sharp Blade - Huang Zebin]: "All online players, please return to your respective Novice Villages immediately to garrison!"
...
Wen Yu took a look, and there were people in the regional chat saying their Novice Villages had already been destroyed.
However, the good news was that because everyone's affiliation had changed after choosing a Tier 3 Main City, players wouldn't be forced to log off due to the destruction of a Novice Village.
The only ones forced to log off were those who were busy with work, didn't have much Time to play, and were still only affiliated with a Novice Village.
Wen Yu immediately opened the teleportation array and discovered that nearly six thousand Novice Villages had already met their demise.
And the radiance belonging to the Novice Villages was still constantly being extinguished.
The radiance belonging to Novice Village No. 13241 was still there! He could still choose to teleport!
Wen Yu did not hesitate any longer; if his old home base was destroyed, it would be too embarrassing!
With a flash of light, Wen Yu stood on the teleportation array of Novice Village No. 13241.
And the first moment he opened his eyes, Wen Yu was shocked.
An incomparably huge gray wolf was wreaking havoc in the village, and a group of players over level 20 plus NPCs were surrounding it, yet they still couldn't kill it immediately!
All around stood all the Novice Village monsters, including rabbits. Their eyes were blood-red, and they would launch a siege as soon as they saw people.
"Damn it! Isn't this the anomaly that appeared two days ago! Where is the old village chief? Didn't he say there was a problem with the water?!"
[Demonized Rabbit] Level: 1 HP: 5000 Attack: 1000 Defense: 500
[Demonized Elk] Level: 2 HP: 7000 Attack: 1200 Defense: 800
[Demonized Grizzly Bear] Level: 4 HP: 15000 Attack: 2000 Defense: 1600
...
From level 1 rabbits to level 10 white wolves, everything was there!
But their attributes had already undergone earth-shaking changes!
And that big gray wolf among them! It even gave Wen Yu a small shock!
[Demonized Gray Wolf King] (black iron BOSS) Level: 8 HP: 300000 Attack: 8000 Defense: 6000 Skills: Frenzy (Triggered when HP drops below 30%, Attack +25%, Movement Speed +30%)
"Screw you, you're telling me this is black iron?!"
After watching for a few seconds, Wen Yu finally understood why Novice Village No. 13241 hadn't been destroyed yet with such a terrifying monster here.
[Job Experience Officer - Huang Xiao], the Job Experience Officer sent down by Sunshine City, was struggling to hold on in front of the Gray Wolf King!
Although he couldn't defeat it, he was barely managing to block the Gray Wolf King outside the teleportation array!
Wen Yu didn't care if it was some Demonized Gray Wolf King or not; he sent it away with a Chain Lightning.
He then used some Time to clean up all the monsters rampaging in the Novice Village!
"Look! It's Time!"
"Time is really in the same Novice Village as me!"
"Great! Our Novice Village has been saved!"
...
Wen Yu also asked the players what exactly had happened.
But they were all clueless. They had all just heard the system's massive amount of Novice Village destruction announcements and returned to their own Novice Villages to take a look.
However, just by looking at the monster names, it seemed everyone only had one guess, and that was that the Demon Race had arrived.
After killing all the monsters in the village, he pushed the Novice Village's defensive line to the village entrance.
Wen Yu didn't intend to stay in his Novice Village for long; he first randomly teleported to one of the 50,000 new Novice Villages opened after the third update.
He discovered that although a Gray Wolf King was still in the village, its health bar was extremely low, almost to the point of death.
There were no players who had already changed classes around, but some new players who hadn't been in the game long were still trying hard to fight the monsters, although the damage they caused could be said to be negligible.
And the reason why the Novice Village hadn't actually been destroyed was:
[Job Experience Officer - Zhao Xiaoming] [Job Experience Officer - Cai Yixin] [Job Experience Officer - Bi San] [Job Experience Officer - Duan Jingrui] The Job Experience Officers from the four major Second-Tier Main Cities were all there, and the four of them combined had successfully blocked the otherwise invincible Gray Wolf King.
Seeing this, Wen Yu was relieved.
"Fortunately, I told a few city lords to send people to the Novice Villages to get familiar with the player groups beforehand."
"I didn't expect that by a stroke of luck, it happened to block this Novice Village crisis!"
***
Chapter 92: The Truth About Demonization!
Wen Yu immediately contacted Lin Sirong to ask about the current situation.
"The monsters we kill will still respawn within the normal Time frame, but fortunately, the respawn mechanism for the Gray Wolf King as a black iron BOSS, which is once every 3 days, has not changed."
"I have also just contacted everyone who has completed their Third Class Transfer. Everyone is online now, spread out, and roaming the various Novice Villages in groups of two or three! The primary objective must be to kill all the mutated Gray Wolf Kings in each Novice Village first!" Lin Sirong continued.
"I just checked the 50,000 newly opened Novice Villages in China. The new Novice Villages all have all four Job Experience Officers present. It must be that when you asked me to promote the Second-Tier Main City back then, those city lords listened to your advice and took action!"
"And it worked out perfectly! It helped us block this wave of monster demonization! Our focus now is mainly on the first 40,000 Novice Villages that were opened!"
After ending the chat with Lin Sirong, Wen Yu naturally had to give it his all.
Running rampant in the Novice Village! That would be trying to cut off the roots of This Person Wen!
Judging by login Time, the weakest among the first 40,000 Novice Villages at this stage must be Novice Village No. 50,000. Wen Yu did not dare to delay, checking them one by one from Novice Village No. 50,000 onwards. As long as the Novice Village had not been wiped out, Wen Yu would at least teleport in to take a look! If he encountered a Gray Wolf King that was still alive, Wen Yu would immediately kill it! If he encountered a weaker Novice Village, Wen Yu would stay for an extra two minutes, helping the players push all the monsters outside the Novice Village and build defensive fortifications at the village entrance.
Just like that, killing, killing, and killing!
Half an hour later.
"Ding! ~"
"You have a new message!"
Wen Yu opened it immediately and discovered that it was actually from Ye Qian.
"Time, have you been to the monster area!"
"I haven't been there, why?"
Indeed, from the very beginning, Wen Yu had not left the Novice Village and had been operating entirely within the safe zones of the various Novice Villages.
"Purple mist, starting from the level 8 monster area, it is all filled with visible purple mist!"
"It's just like the purple mist we encountered in Extreme Ice City!"
After hearing this, Wen Yu was shocked. After pondering for a long Time, he finally connected the whole thing together!
"So... is this the truth about this matter?!"
"The demon clan chose to descend into the level 11 monster area, and then tried to find a way to infiltrate the Novice Village, wanting to fundamentally disintegrate the new generation of players?!"
"Because the root cause is actually in the Novice Village, that's why even when Ye Qian and I cleared the demon clan dungeon, the situation with the purple mist did not change?!"
"The demon clan teleportation array connects directly to the Novice Village!"
The matter of the purple mist in Extreme Ice City concerned the demon clan, so Wen Yu did not dare to forget it.
Now that a similar situation had appeared in the Novice Village, he could finally piece the whole thing together.
"So when I came to the Novice Village to farm rabbits last Time, and the village chief felt unwell, and the rabbits all got 'pink eye', the demon clan had already laid the groundwork."
Having figured this out, Wen Yu no longer went to kill the Gray Wolf King.
He rushed directly outside the Novice Village!
After the monsters respawned, they did not give up on their intention to invade, and still rushed towards the safe zone without stopping!
Wen Yu was naturally fearless, killing them as he rushed forward.
When Wen Yu ran to the location of the level 8 monsters, he finally saw that visible purple mist again.
"As expected, it's the demon clan making trouble."
Wen Yu rushed while running towards the deepest part.
In the blink of an eye, he was standing at the entrance of the [White Wolf Kings Lair] dungeon!
Strong purple mist was leaking out from the dungeon entrance. It seemed to fill the entire level 10 monster area as if there was no end to it.
"Ding! ~"
"Current dungeon [White Wolf Kings Lair]! Please select a difficulty."
"It seems that it's past 12 o'clock, I can run the dungeon again!"
He decisively chose hell difficulty! Wen Yu wanted to see what exactly was going on!
With a flash of white light, Wen Yu appeared inside the White Wolf Kings Lair.
He looked around, but it was no different from usual.
The white wolves were still the same white wolves, and there was no situation where their eyes were scarlet and their attributes skyrocketed like outside.
"What does this mean?"
Wen Yu certainly wouldn't delay, and killed his way straight to the White Wolf King in one go.
But when he used the Insight Technique, he discovered that it was no different from the usual White Wolf King.
"The purple mist is clearly being released from here, so why are you all acting like nothing is wrong?"
The result, of course, was that Wen Yu very smoothly cleared the dungeon.
But the purple mist flowing out of the dungeon did not decrease at all.
Wen Yu continued to change to another Novice Village and continued to enter the White Wolf Kings Lair, but found that it was the same situation.
Wen Yu immediately fell into deep thought.
"Something is wrong. Perhaps it is not the entire level 10 dungeon that has been affected, but rather one of the [White Wolf Kings Lair] among so many Novice Villages that has been affected and then spread out."
He didn't know if his guess was correct, but Wen Yu felt that he must try it immediately.
He sent a message to Lin Sirong, asking if he could find a way to arrange for assassin players in all the Novice Villages to enter the hell difficulty White Wolf Kings Lair dungeon to check the truth of the matter.
And as soon as Lin Sirong heard that there might be a problem with the dungeon, he agreed immediately and arranged for people to try it out right away.
In the Time that followed, Wen Yu continued to roam between the various Novice Villages, killing the Gray Wolf King while waiting for news from Lin Sirong.
Another half hour passed, and finally news came back!
The monsters in the White Wolf Kings Lair of Novice Village 29588 were just like the monsters outside! Their eyes were scarlet! And the attributes of that White Wolf King were terrifyingly high!
Wen Yu nodded.
"Sure enough, after a single Novice Village was affected, it radiated to the entire region!"
"It seems that to solve this problem, I must make a trip to Novice Village 29588."
...
When Wen Yu arrived at the entrance of the [White Wolf Kings Lair] in Novice Village 29588, countless players were already piled up here.
The perimeter was surrounded by players from Novice Village 29588, and standing in the middle were all the guild big shots who had completed their Second Class Transfer.
Wen Yu took a rough look around. Emperor and Morning Star were there, Doomsday and Ghost Show White Book were also there, Chen Cheng and Mountain Range, Ye Qian and Vice President Chen Ruo, Hidden Kill - Asura is Here, as well as the president of Netherworld, and the Dragon Lord and Snake Granny of Peerless Dragon Snake—all these big shots whose names could be called were present.
Wen Yu also walked in.
"The Demonized White Wolf King is very strong, and you will take huge damage as soon as you meet it. Average players are simply not capable of standing in front of it for one second." Lin Sirong said: "Asura went in once, and managed to see the attributes of that White Wolf King."
"1 million HP, 30,000 attack power, 20,000 defense, and its skills have also been greatly improved compared to normal conditions. They said that you are the only one who can fight this thing." Hidden Kill - Asura is Here said.
Wen Yu nodded. Of course he could fight it. It was just a matter of one hit. In front of the Immortal-grade [Space Wormhole], all monsters were equal.
"I can fight it, but how do we enter? Who is coming in with me?" Wen Yu asked.
Everyone had been called by Lin Sirong to stay up all night to rush, so they hadn't rested. If there were any rewards for running this dungeon, Wen Yu would definitely take the lion's share.
It was good to let them share some things too; Wen Yu wasn't planning on hogging it all to himself this Time.
Everyone also understood this, and they all wanted to follow him in to get a share.
Time was tight, so everyone finally decided to use the most primitive method to determine the winners.
Finally:
[Fantasy - Yu Yu Hakusho]
[Still Not Calling Mom]
[Snake Granny]
[Hidden Kill - Asura is Here]
The four of them won this opportunity with their excellent fist techniques...
Wen Yu naturally had no objections.
He brought everyone along and directly chose to enter the dungeon!
