251: Chapter 251 I Have an Idea

White Eagle Empire, Saint Zion.

Luo Meiling sat in front of the computer, ignoring her frantically vibrating phone, her slender fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard.

After typing a long paragraph, she finally glanced at her phone and pressed answer.

Ma Husheng’s raspy voice immediately came through, "Dog-Loli, what the hell are you doing? I called a dozen times and you didn't pick up? Everyone thought you’d overdosed and died, we almost called the police!"

Luo Meiling curled her lip, "Zhulong was taken down, I’m not in the mood."

"To hell with that! You're not in the mood?"

"Then who posted that thread on the forum titled 'Dragon Country People Inciting Infighting, Lü Daoren Carelessly Loses His Dear Old Dad'?"

"Can you do some damn work? Get online quickly, the whole team is waiting for you."

Luo Meiling rolled her eyes, "The wild mobs for miles around have almost been wiped out, and my dungeon attempts are used up. Why should I go online?"

"I'm just wondering! Your dad is dead, why aren't you sad at all?"

"Even President Shang has more of a conscience than you, he even knew to post a condolence thread."

"And those little Japanese bastards, so many posts today are mocking us! But you guys? You only ever know how to fight amongst yourselves."

Ma Husheng immediately flew into a rage, "Your dad is the one who's dead!"

"I said it yesterday, as long as the Dragon Speakers are still there, it means Big Boss Zhulong isn't dead! I personally taught him his Clone Technique; what those little Japanese bastards took out was just a Clone."

"Hurry up, Big Boss Zhulong has appeared, right at Dajiao Mountain!"

"And he just posted a public quest that only Mystics can accept. Get moving!"

Luo Meiling snorted, "Keep making things up, go ahead."

"You think you can fool me with these tricks? Get lost."

"I'm going to have some fun this afternoon and then get a good sleep."

Ma Husheng cursed in anger, "Have fun my ass! You big idiot!"

"Today's quest only has five thousand slots. The top three in healing will get a reward starting from 1 million, plus a Tier 2 skill book!"

"You, the server's number one healer, were raised by us brothers through thick and thin. You're not going online at a time like this?"

"I'm giving you five minutes! If you're not online in five minutes, I'll post that video of you doing that erotic dance on the forum!"

Luo Meiling was furious, "Damn it, you wouldn't dare!"

"Wait! I said no peeking that day, you actually freaking watched it!"

"Not only did you watch it, you freaking recorded it! Holy crap!"

"You..."

Seeing that Ma Husheng had already hung up, she flew into a panic and quickly grabbed her holographic helmet.

[Adventurer {Goutou Luo Name Stolen}, welcome back to the Tianbian World.]

As soon as she logged in, she realized Lü Daoren wasn't lying.

A public quest popped up directly on the game interface, and just as Lü Daoren said, it was restricted to Mystics.

Even so, massive numbers of players were constantly arriving from all directions, surging down the mountain like a tide.

At this moment, the small high ground where Zhulong was located at the foot of the mountain was already surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak through; she couldn't even squeeze into healing range.

Fortunately, the quest was still in the preparation stage.

But many people were shouting, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

"Haha! Big Boss Zhulong really didn't die!"

"Yesterday's excitement was for nothing."

"I spent my entire fortune on air tickets just to kill Japanese yesterday, and now I'm flat broke. Why the hell is he posting such a weird quest now?"

"Millions of people were out killing Japanese yesterday, you're not the only one who went bankrupt. But who told Big Boss Zhulong to be a Mystic?"

"Come to our Qingyun! President Shang said that if we make this money today, he’ll subsidize all the brothers who participated in killing the Japanese!"

"Is your Qingyun even human? Poaching from our Northern Kingdom right in front of me?"

"Move aside! Make a path up front! Anyone who isn't a Mystic, get the hell back!"

"Stop shouting, what's the use? Hundreds of thousands of people are squeezed in here, you couldn't retreat even if you wanted to."

"Kill all the Casters in the inner circle! It's easy for Island Japanese spies to hide in there!"

"Makes sense! Hahaha!"

Most people knew it was a joke, but a few dimwits actually took action, striking down the Casters nearest to them.

Then, thunder and lightning boomed occasionally in the crowd, taking away those who were acting out.

The situation became even more chaotic in an instant.

On the small mound at the core, Tang Long asked Yun Zhuoyue again.

"How is it, Group Leader Yun? He's not coming?"

Yun Zhuoyue put away her phone and shook her head, "Commander-in-Chief Wang Jintang won’t pick up at all. Division Commander Song Yu is just giving me the runaround."

Tang Long sighed, "If they won't come, then forget it. What about you? I've already gathered the people, are you still going to be hesitant?"

Xie Jin asked, "Your Excellency Tang Long, condensing a Spirit Map is an extremely dangerous and rigorous process, during which she will have no power to protect herself."

"Among these Chaos Walkers you've summoned, if someone attacks Group Leader Yun from time to time, even if it doesn't cause much damage, it will still have a huge impact."

"Furthermore, you requested that I assist you with Body Tempering at the same time. We will likely have to stay a bit further away from her, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to protect her simultaneously."

Tang Long rubbed his chin, "Is that so? Let me think."

"The possibility does exist, and it's impossible to completely eliminate it. But for a Spirit Map Breakthrough, it's impossible not to take some risks."

"Oh ho, I have an idea."

Saying this, he suddenly reached out and took off Yun Zhuoyue's mask.

Yun Zhuoyue was feeling anxious and her attention was somewhat divided; she hadn't expected him to move, so she was completely unguarded and could not help but be both shocked and angry.

But before she could lash out, the surrounding crowd erupted in a collective gasp.

"Wow~~!"

"She's so beautiful?"

"This character model is too awesome, isn't it? She's the literal incarnation of a Valkyrie!"

"Beautiful and fierce, and she even looks a bit cute. Badass!"

"Yun Zhuoyue, a bright moon supported by fire-like clouds, even the name is stunning."

"Everyone go away, you're not allowed to stare at my wife."

"Get lost! This is clearly Big Boss Zhulong's woman. Big Boss Zhulong brought her out to give us some eye candy, what the hell are you whining about!"

"You lowlifes move aside! Let us Mystics get closer, or the quest won't be completed in a bit!"

"Who's stepping on my head?"

Seeing the players swarming even more frantically like locusts, with many jumping up and down and even forming human pyramids in several places, Yun Zhuoyue was even more dumbfounded.

At this time, Tang Long called out to Xie Jin, "Elder Xie, let's change locations. This is Group Leader Yun's stage."

Elder Xie nodded slightly and gave Tang Long a light pull; the two of them instantly leaped over a hundred meters away, landing in an open area.

Tang Long then took out the thunder emperor pearl and a pile of thunder spirit stones.

"Elder Xie, I'll be counting on you next."

Elder Xie didn't speak again, but a strange light flickered in his eyes.

He wanted to use Tang Long's power to obtain the Thunder Emperors Eight Scenes Art, and Tang Long wanted to use his power to temper his Thunder Spirit Body; there was nothing to say about this exchange of interests.

But he still remembered how weak that little mine slave's spirituality had been back then.

In just over a month of not seeing him, it had increased several times over.

And just yesterday, he could clearly feel that Tang Long's spirituality was still only considered average.

But seeing him again today, he found that Tang Long's spirituality had leaped to become top-tier.

This kind of incredible change was definitely not something any Cultivation Technique could produce.

Tang Long's body still hid many secrets that even he couldn't see through.

Moreover, he hadn't just invited Yun Zhuoyue today; he also wanted to meet with the Duke. He didn't know what his intentions were.

Just then, Tang Long activated the thunder emperor pearl, and both of them were immediately enveloped in a field of lightning.

The players cheered like a mountain tsunami, and a large number of them immediately diverted.

Many Mystics ran close and immediately began casting heals on Tang Long; streaks of green light flickered one after another alongside the lightning.

Seeing the commotion over here, Yun Zhuoyue grit her teeth, sat down on the spot, and began her cultivation.

A great wind rose, and her red hair drifted up like blood-colored flames, yet the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and frost began to spread across the ground.

Two powerful spiritual energies, wind and ice, began to rage within her body.

Immediately, hundreds of similar green lights lit up on her body, quickly compensating for the damage caused by the spiritual energy.

The pressure on her instantly lightened, and she finally understood.
