Chapter 148: A Mess
Li Guoan's question revealed no emotion whatsoever.
"Should we top up another hundred million points?"
Looking into Li Guoan's eyes, Chen You understood that the bureau chief was still worried.
They suffered greatly from the information gap during the guild territory defense war.
If it weren't for the miraculous effect of the Immortal Throne at the end, it's hard to say whether the guild could have been established.
The source world is ultimately not a program box with transparent parameters.
The unknown is the greatest enemy.
Li Guoan's voice was deep and hoarse.
"Nobody knows what tricks the system will pull this time, the world leader."
"The new player protection period is your shield, but we can't place all our hopes on this one rule."
He walked up to Chen You, and a rare hint of weariness appeared in his sharp eyes.
"Besides money, there's nothing more we can do to help you."
These words made all the experts present lower their heads.
They are the leading figures in their respective fields, capable of predicting the future and charting its course.
But they couldn't face the wrath of the otherworldly gods on behalf of that young man.
Chen You was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"Director Li, don't worry, it's enough for now." He raised his eyebrows.
"I still have over 60,000 gold coins in my backpack."
Li Guoan shook his head, his tone resolute.
"not enough."
"I'll arrange to transfer another 1000 billion to you right away as a reserve."
He added.
"Money is your ammunition."
"We're... the only thing we can do to help you right now."
Inside the hall, you could hear a pin drop.
Chen You looked at the old man's resolute profile, but didn't know how to dispel the worry in his heart.
Finally, he took a deep breath, stood at attention, and gave a solemn salute.
"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
Chen You took out the more than twenty ordinary Qi Gathering Pills he had refined from his backpack, as well as various equipment materials that he had recently acquired but didn't need.
Every so often, they are regularly organized and taken out, so there aren't many.
After doing all this, he didn't pause at all, turned around and went back to his room to reconnect to the Source Realm.
The familiar welcome message appeared, and Chen You's figure reappeared in the Jade Capital of the Origin Realm.
Without a moment's delay, he immediately took action.
First, find Hill to participate in the lottery.
Unsurprisingly, I acquired a Xuan-level equipment.
Chen You remained unmoved, simply considering it a way to dissipate his "bad luck."
He then went directly to the entrance of the Thousand Lights Tomb instance.
[Tomb of a Thousand Lights (Destruction Mode)]
Three minutes later.
[You have obtained "Shattered Core of the Tomb of a Thousand Lights"*1!]
Chen You picked up the core fragment; this was the third one.
Unfazed, he teleported back to the city.
Farming materials is that simple and unpretentious.
Finally, with a practiced "Book a room," he flashed into the familiar Supreme Training Room.
Chen You sat cross-legged, surrounded by complete silence.
He slowly opened his palm.
A pill, its entire body a purplish-gold color, its surface seemingly shimmering with starlight, and imbued with the natural charm of Taoism, lay quietly in his palm.
[Immortal Grade - Qi Gathering Pill]
600% efficiency!
Chen You's gaze was more focused than ever before.
Without the slightest hesitation, he put the priceless pill into his mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, without the expected torrent of medicinal power. Instead, it felt like a clear spring, sliding down the throat and into the stomach.
next second!
boom--!
An indescribable, terrifying suction force suddenly erupted, centered on Chen You's body!
The spiritual energy in the Supreme Training Room was so dense that it was almost liquefied. As if it had found an outlet, it formed a visible white vortex that rushed into Chen You's body!
Without being actively activated, the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique within his body began to operate at an unprecedented frenzy!
His speed was several times faster than when he was cultivating at full strength!
A purple-gold Daoist aura emanated from his body, transforming him into a glass statue.
Chen You focused his mind and guided this powerful energy to wash over his limbs and bones, breaking through the barrier of the fifth level of Qi Refining.
All the noise and commotion outside seemed to have shut him out.
At this moment, the Origin Realm was already in complete turmoil.
There are only a dozen hours left until the world leader "Shadow King" arrives.
Thousand Light City, which was originally just a low-level map main city, now has a population density that surpasses that of any royal city.
Countless adventurers flocked from all over the world, crowding the teleportation array here.
"Stop pushing! Stop pushing! If you keep pushing, I'll get disconnected!"
"Could you please move a little? My gear is about to be crushed!"
"Holy crap, who stepped on my foot? I have size 40 feet!"
And further north than Thousand Light City, in that region perpetually covered in snow and wind—
The snow-covered sacred mountain presents a magical realist spectacle.
From the plains at the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, the area was densely packed with people.
Looking out, the vast expanse of black snow resembled a migrating swarm of ants, turning the white snowfield into a mottled tapestry of colors.
The sounds of cursing, haggling, and guild recruitment calls in various languages, mixed with the biting cold wind, created an incredibly noisy symphony.
"Hey bro, did you even look at the map? There's no path in this lousy mountain, how are we supposed to get up there?"
An orc warrior who had just arrived looked completely bewildered at the almost vertical ice wall in front of him.
An archer nearby, rubbing his hands together and breathing on them, answered weakly.
"Just climb, what other way is there? Didn't you see several guilds over there selling climbing ropes and ice axes?"
"That unscrupulous merchant! Something that normally costs 2 copper coins is now being sold for 1 silver coin!"
"Damn it! This is robbery!" the orc warrior exclaimed indignantly. "What do we do now?"
"What to do? Just let it be! I've been queuing here for three hours, and there are still more than 10,000 people ahead of me."
"I feel like even if the BOSS comes out, I won't be able to climb to the top of the mountain." The archer rolled his eyes.
"I now seriously suspect that this BOSS isn't meant to be fought at all, but rather used by the system to relieve server pressure. By the time we climb up, it'll be too late."
Their conversation drew sighs of shared sympathy from those around them.
Further ahead in the crowd, at the headquarters of some top guilds, the atmosphere was completely different.
Titan Temple, Moon Goddess's Radiance, Roman's Shadow...
These top-tier guilds had already cleared the area at the most advantageous location at the foot of the mountain, set up a cordon, and had countless elite members on high alert.
Their goal was clear: not to join the fun, but to steal kills!
"Has the Guild Master not arrived yet? Thalos of the Titan Temple has already led his team up!"
An elven mage anxiously reported to the temporary leader.
"The guild leader is currently having final pre-battle negotiations with Auror of the Shadow of Roman; he'll be there soon!"
The person in charge shouted sternly, "Everyone, perk up! This time, the reward for the world boss with the highest damage contribution is something we, the Radiant Moon Goddess, are determined to get!"
Everyone's gaze kept drifting towards the towering mountain peak shrouded in mist.
That's where the storm is in the eye of the storm.
