73: What? The main storyline?!

System Announcement!

Demon Lord has slain the core member of the Shadow Group, the World-Class BOSS, Black Hell Reaper, Karl!

Demon Lord has completed the first kill of the Main Story World BOSS, rewarding 10,000 personal fame points, 1 Epic Treasure Chest, and 1 S-Rank Talent Scroll.

.......

As soon as the announcement came out, the players were stunned.

"It's him again?"

"Damn it!"

"Wasn't he wanted by the Empire? How can he still go and clear BOSSes...?"

"What kind of trash organization is the Shadow Group?"

"I'm known as the Nightmare of Wanted Criminals, the Bounty Reaper. The Shadow Group members I've killed could circle the Empire three times, so why don't I get a reward?"

Guild players were even more depressed.

"Save it, that's a core member of the Shadow Group!"

"Damn it, we've been playing until now and didn't even know how the Shadow Group, that organization of wanted criminals fleeing across the continent, could have core members?"

"Even more bizarre is..."

"This is the first kill of a Main Story BOSS, too~"

"Holy crap, can you believe it?"

"We've played for two or three months in the game, killed so many BOSSes, and none of them were from the main story?!"

They're going crazy, crazy!

The guild players were so angry they wanted to report it collectively.

"I'm not convinced!"

"Why is his BOSS from the main story, and ours aren't?"

"In eternal, with so many countries, so many races, so many factions, so many BOSSes, why aren't the ones we kill from the main story!?"

......

Tyren Ruins.

Ex had just led his team to clear a dungeon. He was waiting for a system announcement to see the rewards, but...

"Is that it...?"

"No more?!"

Ex had an incredulous expression:

"Our dungeon involved so many hidden plots, it's not worth an announcement just for clearing it?"

"Or does that mean those plots aren't important?"

What was the answer?

All the Sublime Legion members present knew, but couldn't say.

FUCK!

He killed a Main Story BOSS and unlocked a main story plot.

What BOSSes have we been fighting for the past few months, and what plots have we been unlocking?

With one announcement.

All the players who spent heavily to get into the game early were going crazy.

After several months, they hadn't even touched the main story. Is this playing a game?

Hmm.

Perhaps they really were just playing a game, purely for entertainment...

Damn it!

Ex finally couldn't hold back and cursed:

"Where did Demon Lord get his information from? Why is it him again?!"

"The dungeon was him, and the Main Story BOSS is still him. Where did he get his information from? Why didn't we get it?!"

"A large model worth hundreds of billions, a professional team of three thousand people, and all you could analyze for me was this much information, a dungeon that couldn't even make it to the announcement?!"

The whole room was silent.

Only Winnice spoke: "In last month's data report, there seemed to be a mention of clues about the Shadow Group, but because they were too well hidden, the deduction was too difficult, and they belonged to an NPC faction, not within the monster scope, so you didn't decide to prioritize tracking them."

Thump!

Ex completely cooled down. After a long pause, he finally said:

"Now, notify everyone to immediately start the investigation into the Shadow Group. Since it's the main story, it definitely won't be just one BOSS..."

"Also, quickly research clues for the next main story. We absolutely cannot be led by the nose!"

At the same time.

The various national forces were also stunned by the announcement.

Beautiful Country.

"World BOSSes are divided into main and side stories?"

"How come I don't know!"

"It's been several months, and we haven't found the World-Class Main Story?"

"Alright!"

"If you don't have the ability to find the eternal main story, then find me the real-world main story... Demon Lord!"

"Remember."

"He is your main story from now on. Find him, capture him, kill him, whatever! Anything goes! But don't tell me there's no main story, understood?!"

Sakura Country.

"A member of the Shadow Group is actually a world main story?"

"The system certainly won't be wrong, so it must be that our main story judgment is incorrect."

"No, what we're looking for is also the main story, but what we're looking for are national-level main story quests, while the core member of the Shadow Group that Demon Lord killed this time is an organization involving multiple national forces."

"Soga, that makes sense, continue!!"

"Although the Shadow Group's strength isn't strong, it's an organization spread throughout eternal, and only such an organization could become a World-Class Main Story!"

"It's that simple? Then why didn't we think of it before? How could he have gotten it?"

"Gentlemen, there's no need to rush. Actually, Demon Lord killing one Main Story BOSS doesn't have much impact. The key is the subsequent progression. As long as we act fast, we can delve deeper into the Shadow Group and thus kill their leader first, completing this true World-Class Main Story quest!"

"Sou desu ne~"

"Immediately notify the four major guilds to start tackling the Shadow Group. Goal... complete the main story! At all costs!"

Huaxia.

Ling Wei dialed Bian Yuerong's number.

"Didn't we agree to keep an eye on Lin Ye? How did you keep an eye on him?"

Bian Yuerong was also speechless: "Minister Ling, isn't the current task to earn merit points and that S-Rank Talent Scroll?"

"Earning... we definitely have to earn them." Ling Wei paused: "But he went to do a World-Class Main Story quest. It's such a big deal, you should at least go and check it out~"

Bian Yuerong thought to herself.

He didn't tell me in advance what quest he was going to do...

And just now.

Just now!

Lin Ye was still playing management and construction with NPCs in the Forgotten Land.

It's only been a few minutes.

He went out and dealt with a World-Class BOSS, and it was even a main story one?!

Ling Wei mused: "Yuerong, this plot is World-Class and very important, but the matter in the Forgotten Land cannot be neglected either. See what kind of help you need, and I'll arrange it for you."

Bian Yuerong was truly too busy. She once thought that tailing someone was the simplest and most leisurely task.

Now she knew she was wrong.

Difficult, too difficult!

As for transferring people...

Who could come and keep an eye on Lin Ye?

Unless you arrange a beautiful woman next to him, that guy might actually...

Bian Yuerong's eyes lit up: "Minister Ling, I request to transfer Officer Aoxue from the Dragon Group to help!"

"Her?" Ling Wei's expression immediately changed, and his eye twitched uncontrollably: "That girl is very troublesome... No, she's very difficult to command. I'm afraid you won't be able to control her..."

"It's fine, as long as someone can control him." Bian Yuerong insisted.

Cough cough~

Ling Wei cleared his throat, his face straightening: "Since you insist, then you contact her yourself. If you need anything else, contact me."

Bian Yuerong hung up the phone and immediately found Shangguan Aoxue.

"Little Yuerong, are you missing your big sister again? Oh, in the last mission, big sister just happened to save your life, you don't have to take it too much to heart, but, if you feel bad and insist on giving yourself to me, then big sister wouldn't want to make a beauty sad~"

"How about this, tonight, at the Bvlgari Hotel, you book a room and get all clean, and big sister will definitely be there~"

You...

Silence!

Bian Yuerong's forehead was covered in black lines. If she had any other choice in life, she wouldn't want to contact this... pervert!

Hiss~ Exhale~

Bian Yuerong took a deep breath and briefly explained the mission.

"Officer Aoxue..."

"Call me big sister!"

"....Big Sister Aoxue, I really need your help this time."

"Demon Lord's reputation has been huge lately, with announcements constantly spamming the screen. In reality, he's just a baby-voiced university student. Little Yuerong, with your strength, you can't even handle this, can you?"

"If Big Sister Aoxue is confident, you can come and try. That guy... is really troublesome..."

"Alright, since our little Yuerong has asked, how can big sister not come?" Shangguan Aoxue chuckled softly: "Then you hurry up and prepare. Big sister will be there tonight, remember to get all cleanoh~"
