263: Return to Blue Planet, the World Has Changed

Regarding Yin Qianqian's performance, Chen Ming was personally very satisfied.

Confirming her loyalty to him was more important than anything else.

Chen Ming didn't want to be stabbed in the back by someone he trusted in the future.

After confirming that there wasn't much left in the Huangquan Ghost Realm for him to linger over, Chen Ming opened a spatial teleportation gate to Blue Star, bringing Yin Qianqian and Qin Hongyue back to Blue Star, specifically to the Dushan Villa on the floating island.

As long as he had visited a place once and unlocked it, Chen Ming could open a spatial teleportation gate to go there whenever he wished.

The SSS-level [Teleportation] skill was very useful for Chen Ming.

If there weren't enough ghosts in this world for Yin Qianqian to absorb Yin energy from, he could open a door for her, allowing Yin Qianqian to travel freely between the Huangquan Ghost Realm and Blue Star, which was very convenient.

"Is this Master's world?" Yin Qianqian looked at the incredibly vast scene before her, feeling a bit surprised.

"This is just a floating island. The entire world is much larger than what you see now," Qin Hongyue explained from the side.

"I see." Yin Qianqian realized she had been like a frog in a well.

"Then, Master, if there's nothing else, I'll go cultivate first," Qin Hongyue requested.

"Okay, go ahead," Chen Ming agreed.

After being busy in the Huangquan Ghost Realm for so long, he also wanted to get some good rest. He raised his hand, covered his mouth, and let out a long yawn.

"After this, feel free to act on your own. This world is different from the Huangquan Ghost Realm. Don't hurt people randomly, but you can kill monsters as you please," Chen Ming said as he turned and walked towards the villa, waving his hand.

"Yes, Master," Yin Qianqian respectfully saw Chen Ming off.

After watching Chen Ming enter the room and the door close, Yin Qianqian turned and looked at this strange, bright world, full of novelty.

This was a sight absolutely unseen in the Huangquan Ghost Realm.

With ghost energy swirling around her body, Yin Qianqian's feet left the ground, and she flew into the sky, deciding to look around and get familiar with this world as quickly as possible.

She believed that only by doing so could she be of help to Chen Ming.

Lying in the bedroom, Chen Ming noticed Yin Qianqian leaving through the window.

He retracted his gaze and focused on his phone.

He wanted to see what major events had occurred on Blue Star during his absence.

"Thousands of Hunters globally were inexplicably pulled into dungeons, their whereabouts and reasons unknown..."

Chen Ming knew the reason, but there was no reason for him to actively admit that he had done it.

The Star Alliance had even less reason to leak it.

"Oh! In such a short time, over thirty people worldwide have fished out S-Class Skills! There are five SS-grade or higher, and Great Xia alone accounts for two. Not bad."

Chen Ming wasn't worried at all that others fishing out skills would threaten his life safety.

To put it bluntly, as long as the SSS-level [Permanent Steal] skill was still in Chen Ming's hands, no matter what rewards others fished out, if they dared to provoke him, without exception, every single one of them would just be providing experience points.

Unless the Fishing System genuinely wanted to weaken Chen Ming and specifically created a skill that restricted Permanent Steal.

Currently, it seems unlikely.

After all, up until now, besides Chen Ming, the highest skill level is SS-grade, and not a single SSS-level has appeared.

"Or are those people developing stealthily? Unwilling to disclose that they fished out SSS-grade Skills?" Chen Ming muttered to himself.

"However, at this stage, honestly announcing it, cooperating with the authorities, obtaining more resources, and quickly strengthening oneself seems like the wise move, right?"

Of course, if they had a skill similar to Chen Ming's Infinite Fishing, they could ignore this point.

But unfortunately, the Infinite Fishing skill has already been monopolized by Chen Ming.

Even if they fished out similar skills, they would definitely be weakened versions, for example, increasing the fishing attempts by a few times, a dozen times, dozens of times, or hundreds of times.

Infinite? Unique worldwide!

He put away his thoughts and continued reading.

"Oh! The Star Alliance actually decided to completely break ties with the World Hunter Alliance and operate independently? It seems they must have been targeted quite a bit internationally."

"Or do they have other grand ambitions?" Chen Ming just said it casually; he wasn't so curious as to actually call Zhao Qian and the other commanders to demand the results.

"The Eagle Faction, India, have they also fished out the Trial Tower? Inviting Hunters globally to challenge it..."

Chen Ming didn't think that these two countries fishing out the Trial Tower would affect Great Xia.

The reason was simple: Great Xia didn't need to rely on this method to attract talent and expand its strength.

Compared to India, which also benefits from its population size, the number of casualties in Great Xia since the apocalypse descended is less than one percent of India's.

The death toll in India has already exceeded one hundred million, and this is just the number the authorities are willing to announce. As for the truth, there's no way to know.

That's right, willing to announce.

India is now a scene of deep suffering.

For ordinary people, the so-called India Hunter Alliance? Unreliable.

The official army? Even more unreliable.

On the magical land of India, the Indian authorities and those in power are actually more terrifying than monsters.

If you seek help from them, you'll end up being eaten so thoroughly that not even bone fragments are left.

The common people are suffering immensely. The only thing they can hope for is to fish out skills and strengthen themselves.

And then transform from the exploited into the exploiters!

They will be drawn in by various forces, religions, and gangs, and then gradually discover that this method of exploiting others is the fastest shortcut to increasing their strength!

It's no exaggeration to say that in India, incidents of imprisoning people, forcing them to constantly fish, and then handing over the fishing rewards are far more exaggerated and severe than in the Eagle Faction.

It's just that India is better at blocking information, or rather, their internet conditions are insufficient to spread this information, that's all.

"Why are South Korea and North Korea clashing again? These two really do bump into each other on the border whenever there's nothing going on."

"A Gentlemens Country SS-level Hunter is missing, his fate currently unknown. This photo... it's that guy..." Van Dyke's image appeared in Chen Ming's mind.

He originally thought that losing an SS-level Hunter would make the Gentlemens Country very sad, and they would dig three feet into the ground to find that guy, demanding to see the body if dead, or the person if alive.

Who would have thought, when Chen Ming checked the foreign internet, he found that the people of the Gentlemens Country seemed quite happy that guy had gone missing.

However, after Van Dyke went missing, his original Vampire servants caused wave after wave of considerable unrest within the Gentlemens Country.

Simply put, these Vampire servants wanted to become kings themselves, inheriting Van Dyke's status and influence.

To increase their strength, they targeted innocent people, sucked their blood, and then forcibly turned them into Vampires to join their faction.

This matter was quite a headache for the Eagle Faction authorities, who were currently offering a global bounty to recruit professional Hunters to hunt down these guys.

...

After reading through everything, he had caught up on the gossip, and there wasn't much new.

Chen Ming exited the browser and opened Ten Thousand Realms Fishing, thinking of making a couple of casts.

If he didn't fish out a satisfactory treasure, he would close his eyes and rest.
