174: Scouting the location!

"Taking the teleportation array?" An Xixi's expression was a bit dazed and cute.

"What are we going to do taking the teleportation array?"

"We're going to scout all the locations we can first, just in case these teleportation array get shut down later. That way, we can still rely on the 【Anywhere Door】 to travel back and forth!"

"The teleportation array will shut down?"

"Who can say for sure? Just look at the atmosphere in the main cities right now. Capital cities of various countries are being attacked; everyone is on edge!"

An Xixi thought about it; it seemed she hadn't been paying attention to the situation...

Seeing that Xu Shian's state of mind wasn't quite right, An Xixi thought to herself that she should just accompany him.

In any case, Xu Shian planned to spend about a thousand gold coins today to get started, opening up the maps of the various main cities first.

Besides, his little heart had suffered a critical hit today, and he wasn't in the mood to go out and fight wild mobs.

When with An Xixi, the two of them would just ride their skateboards and glide around!

Even with such a simple 'mount', many players were incredibly envious when they saw them!

Xu Shian thought about it; the production cost of this thing wasn't high. He might as well make a batch later and put them up for auction in the guild!

"Did you buy your main city mount?"

Speaking of that, An Xixi was wide awake!

"I bought one. I bought a white horse. Let me tell you, it's so much better than the horses we used when filming in the past! It's just too expensive!"

"You can't afford it?"

"It's not a question of whether I can afford it or not. It's not about affordability; it's just that I feel this horse doesn't live up to its appearance! It looks like a steed that can gallop a thousand miles, but it only increases movement speed by 60%..."

"Slow? What does being slow have to do with being a thousand-mile steed? Just tell me, can your horse run a thousand miles or not?"

"It can, but it's slow!"

"Where is it slow..."

"Isn't that slow?"

Xu Shian suddenly stopped talking. He had almost blurted out that she should look for the reason within herself!

Fortunately, his terminal straight-man syndrome hadn't reached the final stage yet; he knew saying that would just be asking to get slapped...

"We'll look into which Dungeons drop mounts later, and we'll go farm them!"

As they were chatting, a private voice message came through.

Xu Shian looked and saw it was Xie Lingge!

"Guild Leader, you've logged on?"

"Yeah, I was online for too long and got hit by the anti-addiction system!"

Xie Lingge: ...

Do you think you're being humorous?

"We've analyzed and summarized some important information from the world forum and the guild forum over the past few days. There's an encrypted document in the guild forum! Guild Leader, you can see it, right?"

"I can see it!"

There was no need to hide or cover up things like this.

As the Guild Leader of 【Time】, everyone likely knew how much power he held within the guild.

Saying otherwise, nobody would believe him anyway...

Therefore, for the private content that Xu Shian didn't want others to know about, he wouldn't set up a private post on the game forum just for himself to read!

Who knows which power-tripping dogs are staring at this private content every day?

You think it's very secretive, but in reality, others are watching and laughing!

Xie Lingge was a bit speechless hearing Xu Shian admit it so readily.

But just as Xu Shian had thought.

The guild forum isn't safe... is the game forum any safer?

I'm tired, just let it all be destroyed!

Opening the materials that Xie Lingge and the others had compiled, Xu Shian read as he walked.

...

Right now, apart from Xu Shian, the people in the spotlight worldwide were 【King Arthur】 and 【Bankai】.

Actually, as the first player other than Xu Shian to clear a Dungeon on hell difficulty, 【Bankai】 should have had a very strong reputation!

But because he had his defenses broken by one of Xu Shian's combos, he ended up falling a step behind during the level 10 trial.

And then he started falling behind step by step!

Up until now, he was still stuck on the 【Bronze Trial】.

In fact, all the ambitious people around the world were currently stuck on the 【Bronze Trial】.

Let alone the Bronze Trial, even the Black Iron Trial wasn't that easy to pass...

So, although there were many people in the main city now, most of them were people who hadn't seriously passed the trials and were in a state of self-abandonment!

The mindset of these people was actually in a state of collapse!

Suddenly dragged from Blue Star into a strange game world, and then fighting different monsters every day like this...

It was unclear whether 【Bankai】 had figured things out or not!

Every day, he just led teams to farm hell difficulty Dungeons, collected gold equipment, and incidentally organized people to fight the Bronze BOSS once a day!

However, according to the videos posted on the forum, 【Bankai】's attack power and such were getting higher and higher.

Yesterday, he had already beaten the Bronze BOSS of Sakura Country down to below 50%!

And it was very likely that he would become the second player to legitimately pass the Bronze Trial through his own hard strength...

As for the Ko-gaki, Xu Shian never minded using the greatest malice to speculate about them.

If a guy like this were to get the attribute bonuses from a Dungeon first clear, wouldn't that be terrible?

Although Xu Shian had already cleared the level 10 and level 20 Dungeons!

But wasn't there still a level 30 Dungeon cluster over on the Wozhou Island?

He would take the guild members later to snatch those first clears!

He wouldn't leave 【Bankai】 any chance to grow stronger...

If he were willing to bring people out to block him, that would be even better!

...

Another strong person, 【King Arthur】...

His situation was even more special!

The distance between them was too great!

Even if Xu Shian wanted to force his influence, he lacked the means.

There were no warships here, and long-arm jurisdiction wasn't a thing...

Fortunately, 【King Arthur】 had his own neighbors to worry about over there!

He had to be strong enough and manage to stay alive through various accidents in order to meet Xu Shian's 【Time】 in the distant future!

But according to information revealed by insiders of their guild, 【Ragnarok】!

The current 【King Arthur】 already possessed the strength to one-shot level 12 ordinary wild mobs!

Whether he could one-shot higher-level ones was unknown, but 【King Arthur】 probably didn't want to leak too much information, so he stopped teaming up!

Completely soloing...

The main idea: You can know that I'm strong, but you can't know how I became strong!

Xu Shian laughed when he saw this!

I was wondering why this King Arthur had gone quiet; turns out he cut off one of his own arms!

However, one shouldn't comment on things without knowing the full picture!

"What are you looking at? Why are you so happy?"

"I'm thinking, this idiot named himself 【King Arthur】, but then made a guild called 【Ragnarok】... Do you think the gods would slap him to death if they knew?"

An Xixi rolled her eyes.

"You 'fish who missed nine years of education', don't you believe in materialism anymore?"

Xu Shian looked at her with amusement! You, a little foreigner, have the nerve to call me a 'fish who missed nine years of education'?

"What Time do you think it is? You're petting a white wolf the size of a small car like it's a husky, and you're still talking to me about materialism?"

"That's true!"

An Xixi thought about the silly thing she had said, and her gums were immediately exposed as she grinned!

"Your image, your image!"

"Do you think there really are gods? Did they kidnap all of humanity?"

"Maybe... they saved all of humanity?"

"Huh?"

...

When Xu Shian and An Xixi arrived in Lin Province, the few scattered local players did see them!

But those who came to the main city now were either there to cling to the powerful or to slack off!

They didn't treat the resources of Lin Province as their own private property, so they didn't show any obvious resistance!

A few of An Xixi's fans even took photos with her!

But when the photos were posted on the forum, those factions with designs on Lin Province immediately couldn't stay calm!

So they can't go abroad, and now they're starting to target the Dungeons of the East Dragon Empire?

Being anxious was one thing, but they had absolutely no way to stop it!

Outside, they could rely on methods like boycotting foreigners to exploit bugs against Xu Shian.

In the East Dragon Empire, it was hard to say who would be exploiting whom...

For a Time, the high-level members of many factions felt quite gloomy!
