Chapter 118 Don't Act Like Me!
The City of Eternal Night, territory of the Moon Goddess's Radiance Guild.
Moon Arrow stared blankly at the blood-red world announcement, his delicate face filled with astonishment.
Player "Chen You" has successfully unlocked the destruction mode of the dungeon "Tomb of a Thousand Lights"!
She stood there stunned for a good ten seconds before slowly blinking to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
What happened to the team formation we agreed on?
I'm busy arranging for people to search the entire map for the mysterious merchant, and you just release a world announcement?!
I haven't gotten on the bus yet!
What alarmed her even more was that he actually went to Qianguang City.
That's the sphere of influence of the Roman gods; the Elven gods have little say there.
A deep sense of powerlessness came over me.
After hesitating for a long time, she took a deep breath, suppressed her agitation, and opened her friends list.
She sent a message to that man.
[Moon Arrow]: President Chen, do you still remember our promise?
The message was sent out, but it disappeared without a trace.
One minute.
three minutes.
On Moon Arrow's fair fingertips, an arrow made of pure energy faintly appears.
The flickering light betrayed her inner anxiety.
Just as she was about to lose patience, the communication interface finally lit up.
[Chen You]: President Yue, of course I remember.
When Moon Arrow saw the reply, he almost choked.
Remember?
Remember how you turned around and immediately switched to a destruction mode? Without even saying hello?
She suppressed the urge to question, carefully choosing her words, trying to take the initiative.
[Moon Arrow]: Chairman Chen, you've moved so quickly! We're still searching for the mysterious merchant, and you've already...
Before I could even finish sending the message, a new message popped up from the other party.
[Chen You]: You help me find the mysterious merchant, and I'll take your people to run a dungeon once. That was agreed upon before.
The implication is that if you haven't found it, the premise of this transaction is invalid.
Why should I wait for you?
Moon Arrow was speechless for a moment after seeing this reply.
Yes, logically there's no problem.
Without finding the mysterious merchant, the deal could not be completed.
It's perfectly reasonable for Chen You to go and farm the dungeons himself.
But... this feeling is just too frustrating!
She had thought that, given Chen You's ability to activate his destructive mode, this was an absolutely unique strategic resource.
He will definitely hold out for the best offer, or at least maintain good communication with this potential strategic partner.
It turned out she was overthinking it.
In Chen You's eyes, this was as casual as going out to buy groceries.
【Moon Arrow】: President Chen, the Mysterious Merchant's respawns are completely unpredictable; he may not appear for a month or even a year.
[Moon Arrow]: But our Moon Goddess's Radiance intelligence network covers the entire Origin Realm. As long as he appears, we will be able to locate him immediately. This promise is valid indefinitely.
[Chen You]: Next time for sure.
Four simple and straightforward words.
It felt like a promise, but also like a perfunctory response?
Next time, is it really certain?
Can I still get on this bus?
Moon Arrow wanted to try to regain the initiative, but found that he was in the wrong no matter what.
Although we are in a passive position, at least we still have a chance.
In the end, all she could do was reply.
[Moon Arrow: It's a deal then.]
She closed the chat window, closed her eyes, and began to take deep breaths.
There was a slight sense of frustration.
There was also a hint of doubt and fear.
Why?
Why was that man able to so easily activate his destructive mode?
How did he manage to do that?
……
the other side.
Chen You casually closed the chat window, his face remaining calm.
The Elven gods might be useful to him, but that's a matter for the future; who can say for sure?
He has something else on his mind right now.
Secluded cultivation!
It only took me a dozen seconds to defeat a level 30 elite in a dungeon!
This is a very dangerous sign!
Exit the instance, return to town, and automatically navigate to the Supreme Tower – all in one smooth motion.
Before the players outside the Tomb of a Thousand Lights could even react, he was already standing in front of the Supreme Tower of a Thousand Lights City.
Compared to the one in Zhaocheng, the Supreme Tower in Qianguang City incorporates more elements in its architectural style.
The lines are more ornate, and exquisite sculptures and reliefs can be seen everywhere, but the overall grandeur and luxury are consistent.
"I'm home."
Looking at the familiar sign, Chen You felt a surge of warmth and familiarity.
He suddenly gained a deeper understanding of the phrase "feeling at home".
It's like a corporate slave who travels all year round for work and suddenly sees the familiar logo of a chain hotel from his hometown on the streets of a foreign country.
It is home, but not entirely.
As soon as Chen You stepped through the gate, a soft and pleasant female voice rang in his ears, carrying a perfectly timed surprise and rhythm.
"Dear esteemed member, the hustle and bustle of the world has not dimmed the starlight in your eyes. It is truly a wonderful thing to meet you again in this city-state."
A woman dressed in a silver-white court dress walked gracefully towards them. She had the same face as Zhaocheng Xier, but her temperament was completely different.
"It reminds me of the most beautiful sunset in my memory."
She bowed slightly and added a sentence.
"Hmm." Chen You nodded. "You're more poetic than her."
A faint smile appeared on Qian Guangcheng Hill's lips, as if he was quite pleased with the compliment.
"Praise is the dew of wisdom; thank you for your generosity."
She gestured for him to go, leading him to a quiet meeting area.
"I wonder if your visit is for rest or to begin a new chapter of spiritual practice?"
Chen You didn't sit down, nor did he have the mind to beat around the bush.
He was about to go into seclusion, but before that, he needed to log off and synchronize his information.
"I need some answers."
Chen You got straight to the point, flipping his wrist and two items appeared out of thin air in his palm.
One of them is a tattered parchment map obtained after defeating the Dark Projection, with traces of fire burning along the edges.
The other item was the cold, ominous [Shadow Contract Emblem].
For some reason, he had a strange feeling that there was another trap waiting for him behind this mission.
The moment those two things appeared, the poetic and serene look on Hill's face vanished like the tide.
Her pupils contracted almost imperceptibly, and her gentle gaze instantly turned sharp as a knife as she stared intently at the emblem in Chen You's palm.
That look seemed to be confirming whether a forbidden seal had been broken.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.
"You... went to the Tomb of a Thousand Lights?"
Her voice became dry and low, filled with a kind of repressed emotion.
"It's not just that she went." Chen You keenly noticed the change in her emotions, and his premonition that "there's a trap" grew stronger.
"I even took it apart."
Hill's body swayed almost imperceptibly.
She closed her eyes, took a long breath, and when she opened them again, her gaze had returned to calm.
"A map is to guide you to a certain 'place'."
Hill's voice was extremely low, with a frequency characteristic of telling forbidden legends.
"And it is there to guide you to find a certain 'existence'."
"An existence that has been forgotten, sealed away, and cursed by all the laws of the world..."
Chen You frowned.
No, why are you acting?
