39: Reverse operation shocked the whole network

“Greetings, I am Bian Yuerong, a Major from the East Sea Military Region, currently serving as the Captain of the First Action Team in the eternal Special Operations Department,” the short-haired beauty said, extending her hand gracefully.

A twenty-something Major?

Rare.

Lin Ye shook her hand, saying, “There’s no need to report my information, right? How about we come inside first?”

Bian Yuerong didn’t move. “Demon Lord is too polite. I’ll just say a few words and then leave.”

“Alright,” Lin Ye said.

“First, regarding the talent scrolls, do you intend to sell them?” Bian Yuerong’s question was direct, just as efficient as her personal style.

“The scrolls have already been used. Do you need to verify?”

Lin Ye knew what she wanted to ask the moment they met, and naturally, he already had an answer. Without waiting for her reply, he preemptively cut her off.

“One was given to Bai Shuya, and the other to Yan Yan. Are you interested in knowing the specific talent information?”

Bian Yuerong frowned, seeing that Lin Ye seemed genuinely prepared to continue.

“No need. Since the talents have already been used, we won’t force your hand. Besides, this is just a normal transaction; Demon Lord doesn’t need to be so nervous.”

“I don’t want to be nervous either.”

Lin Ye shrugged casually, smiling as he said, “But you drove a military vehicle to monitor me on the street, and then forcefully bypassed security to knock on my door without a search warrant. Do you think that wouldn’t make someone nervous?”

Bian Yuerong was speechless, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

From her experience, she clearly understood that this ‘Demon Lord’ wasn’t nervous at all, but his candidness made her side seem overly anxious and as if they had overstepped.

If she continued to argue, she wouldn’t be able to explain it, so she immediately changed the subject.

“Regarding the Forgotten Land mission…”

Lin Ye waved his hand:

“I can’t do the Forgotten Land mission either. So, after Newbie Village is embedded in eternal tomorrow, I will open the teleportation array. If you are interested then, you can buy a few keys from President Bai and go in and play yourselves.”

“Don’t worry, the keys won’t be expensive. Everyone can afford them.”

Shock!

Even with Bian Yuerong’s composure, she couldn’t help but show a look of shock on her face.

An epic mission.

Solo completion.

With his powerful talent and strength, he didn’t even have the slightest intention of monopolizing it, and he wasn’t even waiting a day before completely opening up a dungeon of the Forgotten Land’s caliber?!

“If… what you say is true, then I can only say that Demon Lord has a very broad perspective.”

Bian Yuerong truly couldn’t find any other words.

Because her mission was already complete.

The strict order from above was simply to understand the mission content.

That was all.

But who knew that as soon as she arrived, Lin Ye would say the mission was open and fully shared, allowing everyone to participate? What else could she do?

Could she force Lin Ye to hand over the dungeon to the military and then monopolize it?

Once this news got out, it would explode.

What’s more.

The military couldn’t possibly do such a thing; there was no need.

As long as they could participate in the dungeon, they naturally had the confidence to compete and obtain what they needed.

The two exchanged contact information and added each other as friends.

Bian Yuerong finally said, “One last thing, Qitian Guild has already gathered at the Imperial Frontier. If you need help…”

Lin Ye directly refused, “It’s just normal game activity. I can handle it; no help needed.”

…Alright!

Bian Yuerong had nothing more to say and bid farewell.

But on the way.

The more she thought about it, the more something felt off.

This meeting was inexplicably strange.

It seemed like the mission was completed, even over-completed.

But it also seemed like a failure; they met, but it was as if they hadn’t met at all.

Whether she came today or not seemed to make no difference to the outcome.

...

Closing the door.

He found Bai Shuya standing beside him, a faint, imperceptible smile on her cool, beautiful face. “I guess the military didn’t expect you to publicly operate the dungeon, did they? Their heads are probably spinning right now.”

“Also, regarding the sale of keys, are you sure you won’t go for an auction? You could actually make hundreds of millions with a little manipulation here.”

No!

Lin Ye directly dismissed it.

“Auctioning releases too few, and that would delay my own development. That’s not a problem money can solve.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Shuya’s eyes.

Many people claim not to care about money, but few truly remain indifferent when faced with hundreds of millions.

“Alright, we’ll do as you say.”

“I’ll release the news immediately. When a large number of players gather at the Imperial Frontier, and all the major guilds are there, the situation will be too complex for the Qitian Group alone to dictate. It should at least reduce some pressure.”

Lin Ye’s lips curved upwards. “What, do I look like I’m under pressure?”

Bai Shuya paused slightly at his words, then her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly. After scrutinizing him for a few moments, she couldn’t help but sigh softly, “Now, I truly regret letting you go to Yan Yan.”

Hmm?

What did she mean by ‘letting go’?

Lin Ye was slightly taken aback.

Just then.

Yan Yan had also finished preparing lunch.

“Today, I’ll let you taste the chef’s skills: steamed Australian lobster, steamed grouper, stewed lamb chops, boiled mantis shrimp, boiled oysters, boiled green vegetables, boiled eggs… no, this is tomato and egg soup, and finally, a sashimi platter and fruit salad. How does that sound?”

The menu seemed normal.

But when you looked at the cooking methods, one word stood out… absolute!

Lin Ye couldn’t help but laugh.

“Miss Yan’s kitchen combo, along with the clear water hotpot, is truly a match made in heaven. I suppose you must have used an ancestral secret recipe, right?”

“That’s right, how did you know?!” Yan Yan nodded happily, “My sister comes from a medical family; our ancestors accumulated this wealth today by relying on a secret recipe.”

Lin Ye didn’t believe it.

But Bai Shuya actually nodded in agreement: “It’s true. Her ancestral secret recipes are more than just one or two; they are all very precious.”

Ah?

Lin Ye was even more disbelieving.

Here, it was either clear water boiled or directly raw. The most complex cooking method among them was probably the tomato and egg soup.

How to put it?

Your family’s clear water hotpot really has a secret recipe!

Regardless of that.

Lin Ye was genuinely hungry and began to eat.

...

On the forum.

A post from the ANG Club was directly stickied by players.

“Dungeon fully open, keys can be bought freely?”

“Awesome!”

“There aren’t many teleportation arrays in the entire eternal, and they’re expensive. Each use costs thousands of gold coins, but your dungeon teleportation only costs 100 gold coins?!”

“Oh my god~”

“Is this cheap?”

“No, you’re practically giving it away!”

“I declare that from today onwards, Demon Lord is my eternal idol.”

“Sir is righteous!”

“He really is, I’m crying~”

At the same time.

Imperial Frontier.

A small town at the foot of the Angus Mountains.

A large number of players gathered, many of whom wore the Qitian Guild’s insignia.

“Young Master Feng, is that guy crazy? A 100 gold coin ticket, he’s not making a profit?!” Xiang Jianfeng, the guild manager, questioned.

“Idiot!”

Qi Feng sneered.

“Of course, he’s a bit smarter among idiots.”

“As an ordinary person who accidentally dug up the He Clan Jade, he knows he can’t hold onto it. Does he think that by publicizing it, he’ll be safe and sound?”

“Hmph, ridiculous.”

“Tomorrow he’ll know that the He Clan Jade, no matter when, can only be possessed by the strong!!”

Xiang Jianfeng understood and laughed heartily:

“Young Master Feng is domineering! As long as we take down this dungeon and successfully monopolize it, our combat power will reach the peak. Once the cross-realm function is developed, it won’t be impossible for you to truly become an emperor~”

Ah, hahahaha~!!

Qi Feng burst into laughter but still gave him a hint.

“You should speak less of such things. All countries are very tense right now, fearing who will obtain transcendent power first. If they can’t get it, then even directly destroying eternal isn’t impossible.”

“Yes, yes, Young Master Feng is right. We should still be low-key when necessary,” Xiang Jianfeng quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

“Go, arrange for the battle group members to remove their insignias. If this mission succeeds, everyone’s points will be multiplied by 10!” Qi Feng gave the order.

...

On the other side.

After finishing his meal, Lin Ye felt incredibly hot all over and immediately went to take a shower.

No, still hot!

What’s going on?

Did I eat too many oysters, or was there really a recipe in them?

Looking at the others in the room, not one of them had a normal complexion.

Bai Shuya also reacted, slamming the table and exclaiming, “Miss Yan, you used the wrong recipe, didn’t you?!”

...

“It’s perfectly fine, it’s the nourishing recipe I always use~” Yan Yan finished clearing the table, walked to Lin Ye, linked her arm through his, and pulled him towards the bedroom: “I wish everyone a good night’s sleep. Goodbye, no need to see us off~!”

Bai Shuya watched her walk into the bathroom, immediately fuming, and gritted her teeth:

“That woman is a scoundrel! She went too far today! I… we’re leaving!”

Inside the room.

Under the festive big red theme, various fresh flowers adorned the space, rose petals formed a heart on the bed, and with the exquisitely arranged lighting, a warm and sweet atmosphere was outlined.

Lin Ye looked at the decorations, then at Yan Yan’s watery beautiful eyes, and immediately laughed wryly.

“No… did you really put an ancestral recipe in the clear water?”

“Shh… ask me~”

Hiss!

Lin Ye, at this moment, no longer cared about such trivialities. He pulled her slender waist, drawing her into his embrace.

Mmm~

Yan Yan tilted her head back with a soft moan.

Lin Ye was gentle at this moment.

But he lacked experience.

There was no progress for a long time.

Only earning a resentful glance from Yan Yan’s beautiful eyes.

“Don’t panic, just a small unexpected surprise.”

Pfft~

Yan Yan chuckled softly. Just as she was about to speak, her brows suddenly furrowed.

Mm?!

Lin Ye embraced the beauty once more.

The promised time arrived.

Dragons and fish mingled, love ran deep.

When they finally ascended to the peaks of ecstasy, who cared about the autumn frost in the world?

...

A long while later.

Yan Yan lay on Lin Ye’s shoulder, staring blankly at the teeth marks left there: “Little brother Lin, tell me… do you like older sister?”

“Tell me?”

Lin Ye gave an evil, charming smile, then flipped her over and pinned her down.

“There’s still an old score from yesterday. If I let you say even one word today, I lose!”

Yan Yan, being her first time, couldn’t endure such a thing. Just as she was about to beg for mercy…

Mmm~

Lin Ye had already held her hand, fingers intertwined.

The clouds had not rested, and the storm suddenly intensified.
