38: The value of the Forgotten Land, the jealous forces

Location selected.

It was on the empty land next to the Star Tower.

Ding~

You have consumed 500,000 star coins and 5 time-space crystals.

Boom!

A brilliant beam of light shot up from the ground, piercing the starry sky.

Immediately after.

The entire starry sky, under the infusion of the light beam, gradually began to twinkle.

A moment later.

The starry sky suddenly dimmed.

Only a distant star was still twinkling.

Immediately after.

That distant star seemed to respond, flashing intensely.

Boom!

A beam of light struck the ground from the starry sky.

In the blink of an eye.

A magic array was directly engraved on the ground, completing its construction.

“So simple,” Lin Ye sighed.

He stepped forward and tried it out.

Ding~ The teleportation array is temporarily unusable. Please bring a space-time key and construct the array on the other side.

“The space-time turbulence is coming soon, and I can’t farm here. It’s a good time to go back and set up the teleportation array so I don’t have to enter through the dungeon next time.”

Lin Ye asked Tu Xiusi for a few keys, crushed one, and took everyone back to Newbie Village.

Along the way.

Players cast strange glances at the group.

“Hey, is that Demon Lord?”

“Awesome!”

“That gear looks terrifying.”

“As expected of the man who cleared the dungeon first, the girls around him are all so high quality. I’m envious~”

“Damn it!”

“He’s already so strong, can’t he just play the game properly? Why does he have to steal our girls too?”

“Do you think anyone dares to take the thirty million bounty posted on the black market?”

“Hard to say, thirty million… If a sneak attack succeeds, wouldn’t that be instant riches…?”

Lin Ye ignored the discussions of the surrounding players.

He walked directly to the fountain in Newbie Village and, with a crisp sound, crushed the key.

After a brief wait.

Boom!

A burst of starlight suddenly fell.

In the blink of an eye.

The teleportation array was successfully constructed.

This time, he tried again.

Ding~ To teleport to the Forgotten Land, you need to consume 1 space-time key.

“CEO Bai, you set the price for this ticket.”

Lin Ye turned his head and looked around:

“How about we call it a day? You all must be tired after playing for a day and a night, right?”

Okay~

Just as the girls nodded, a notification sounded in their ears.

System Announcement!

Demon Lord has successfully established a teleportation array between the Forgotten Land and Newbie Village (ID 9527000). Players can enter the Forgotten Land through the teleportation array to explore special worlds adrift in the space-time turbulence! The original dungeon entry method and process for the Forgotten Land remain unchanged. Players may choose freely.

That’s good.

The dungeon method was retained.

He could still clear it twice a day by killing the giant crocodile. Now that game time was doubled, that meant four times. Speed-clearing Nightmare difficulty still offered very generous rewards after the guild meeting.

It was just that the process was a bit cumbersome.

He had to kill the BOSS to get items, and he had to kill it himself.

Let’s log off first.

Just as Lin Ye was about to click log off, he heard a nearby player say:

“Is Demon Lord crazy?”

“Doesn’t he know that the Qitian Guild’s army has been dispatched and is already blocking the eternal side, just waiting for the Newbie Village to land so they can rush in?”

“Now he’s opening a dungeon teleportation array, won’t that just be handing it over to them?”

“Hehe~ Don’t worry about that, just watch the show~”

Bai Shuya’s expression changed, and her face instantly became serious.

“I’ll go check immediately…”

Lin Ye waved his hand, indicating no need: “Let them come, what’s there to worry about?”

Huh?

Bai Shuya and Xia Mo were both stunned at the same time, and even Yan Yan’s eyes showed some worry.

“Qi Feng’s main account is nearly level 100, and if their guild really mobilizes, they can gather thousands of players above level 30 to participate in the battle.”

Bai Shuya bit her lip, her brows tightly furrowed.

“Our club can at most mobilize 100 combat members above level 30. The gap between us is too obvious; we might be wiped out in one encounter.”

Lin Ye smiled.

“It’s fine, the club is yours personally, you don’t need to participate in my battles. Just manage the Forgotten Land well.”

Don’t need to?

Bai Shuya’s delicate body trembled, and she immediately guessed his thoughts.

“No way?”

“You wouldn’t really go solo against an entire guild, would you?”

Xia Mo was truly worried this time: “Demon Lord, players are not monsters. With different classes cooperating, plus various scrolls and battlefield-level spell coverage, that’s really… really no joke!”

Lin Ye’s expression was calm: “Do you think I’m joking?”

Uh…

Xia Mo was instantly speechless.

Bai Shuya also didn’t know what to say.

Yan Yan naturally chose to believe: “Let’s log off. I’ll cook lunch. What do you want to eat?”

“Let’s log off. I hope it’s not takeout this time…” Lin Ye joked.

......

At the same time.

The new announcement instantly caused the forum to explode.

“Demon Lord is too strong!”

“He actually opened a teleportation array. Does that mean we can also enter that dungeon in the future?”

“Not just Newbie Village players, but outsiders too?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

“That Newbie Village will land tomorrow and directly embed itself in the border of the Astra Empire within eternal. Great! We’ll go now, and as soon as Demon Lord opens the teleportation, we can start farming!”

On the other side.

Many guild leaders in the group also started getting anxious.

“Currently, there are only three dungeons, and the entry process for all of them is extremely complex, plus the ticket fees are exorbitant.”

“Demon Lord’s teleportation array is too brilliant.”

“Even if a single teleportation fee is expensive, it’s still cheaper than a dungeon ticket, and it seems to allow unlimited entry and stay.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, why can’t we get such an opportunity?!”

“It’s just…”

“The Qitian Guild gathered their forces first. Now, the Imperial border is probably full of their people.”

“Damn it, I don’t believe one guild can deal with so many of us?”

“Let’s go see first. What if Demon Lord really falls?”

“After all…”

“He’s just a newbie, right?”

Hiss~

“That’s right!”

“He’s opening a dungeon in Newbie Village, so he must be a newbie. Even if his talent is good, his level can only be 10, right?”

Everyone felt that there was some truth to this upon hearing it, and they felt even more that their plans needed to be changed.

......

On the other side.

Players from other countries, however, were furiously complaining on the forum.

“Unfair!”

“Why did that Newbie Village infiltrate the Astra Empire and not our Windmist Dynasty?”

“If cross-border travel were easier now, we could definitely kill Demon Lord and seize his teleportation array and dungeon.”

“I think there’s a conspiracy.”

“Demon Lord might just be a facade created by insiders of eternal, actually using game insider information to madly plunder resources!!”

“Shameless! Despicable!”

“I want to report this! The officials must give an explanation~!”

When Chinese players saw such comments, they just laughed.

“Didn’t you all say you wanted to be the first to clear the dungeon?”

“Now you can’t even find a single dungeon yourself, and you report others when they clear it. Where’s your shame?”

“Hahaha~ You guys are only fit to watch us farm!”

.......

Tomson Riviera.

This time, Yan Yan truly cooked herself. Seeing her in an apron, moving with skill, and with Su Wanting’s help, Lin Ye felt much more at ease about lunch.

Ding dong~

The doorbell rang.

“Who’s knocking at this hour?” Lin Ye wondered.

Bai Shuya, still checking messages, casually guessed: “Probably property management. Outsiders need to call you first to get in.”

Lin Ye didn’t think much of it, got up, and opened the door.

Before him.

It was indeed a tall, well-built beauty in a uniform.

Very tall, with very long legs.

Dangerously long!

Lin Ye was nearly 1.8 meters tall, and looking at her in flat shoes, she felt even taller than him.

The only pity was that she wasn't wearing an OL professional suit, but a military uniform.

Then, looking at her short hair by her ears and her sharp gaze, Lin Ye seemed to recall something.

“Did we meet this morning?”
