The new city, Sands Cotai! The first challenge of the mission! Entrapment!

Ye Xingyu had Mother Fu collect a batch of materials from the auction house.

He crafted over three thousand Piercing Arrows.

All of them were placed into the divine edge quiver.

Approximately 10 minutes later.

A dazzling pillar of light flashed.

Ye Xingyu's figure appeared in a brand new, large city.

"Ding! Welcome to Golden Sand City!"

That's right!

The Fire Worship Cult's ruins were buried deep within the vast desert outside Golden Sand City!

Ordinary people would find it extremely difficult to locate it.

Golden Sand City and Chunming City, where Ye Xingyu had been before, were two completely opposite styles.

Above his head, yellow sand filled the sky.

Endless dust spread across the sky every moment.

That scene was enough to blot out the sun!

This was definitely the place with the most rampant PM2.5!

Therefore, this city had always had the fewest players!

The city's population was far lower than all other main cities.

It eventually devolved into a haven for criminals and those who had caused major trouble in other cities and were forced to flee and hide.

Consequently, the crime rate outside the city remained high.

It was definitely not a suitable place to live.

However.

Yet, a place with an environment like the apocalypse and scarce resources like this.

Had made headlines many times in his previous life!

The reason was that beneath the vast desert outside Golden Sand City.

Many large ruins left by ancient kingdoms were buried!

There was also a massive amount of wealth left by many nobles and cultists!

Attracting countless bounty hunters!

And triggering large-scale guild battles!

Beneath the yellow sand outside Golden Sand City.

Many good things were buried there!

Ye Xingyu recalled, full of ambition!

In the city.

Most buildings were constructed in a yurt-like fashion.

The roofs of the houses were semi-elliptical.

It was said that this structure was most effective at preventing sand infiltration.

Therefore, the entire city's appearance—had no resemblance to Chunming City.

It was as if one had suddenly transitioned from spring into the desolate late autumn.

Ye Xingyu stood on the street.

Recalling Jian Ran Fanqiu's class change experience in his mind.

He opened the map and checked it.

Soon after.

He walked towards a small street in the southeast of Golden Sand City.

His target was a shop named "Yesterday Tavern."

Ye Xingyu quickly passed through the winding streets.

Finally entering a small alley.

Walking a few steps closer.

He saw a dilapidated storefront.

The sign for "Yesterday Tavern" hanging on the door was tilted two inches.

As if it was about to fall off.

"That's right, this is it!"

Ye Xingyu pushed open the rusty wooden door and strode inside.

Upon entering.

Ye Xingyu's gaze swept around.

Inside the small tavern.

There were surprisingly 11 patrons, either standing or sitting!

Their appearances were all unbearable to look at.

Fat-headed and big-eared!

Rosy noses!

Rotten hair as messy as a pigsty!

Their clothes were tattered.

The air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

Honestly, if it weren't for the hidden profession.

Ye Xingyu would never come to a place like this in his life.

They were almost all native NPCs of this city.

Ye Xingyu knew.

Not all NPCs in deep space were virtual characters simulated by the system.

At least half of them were indigenous inhabitants from other life-bearing planets in the Milky Way!

In other words, some alien natives!

On them.

Hidden secrets that were difficult to uncover.

So they couldn't be completely underestimated.

Ye Xingyu scanned the room.

Then casually found a prominent seat and sat down.

He greeted the bartender on his own: "Boss! Bring me 100 bottles of your best wine! Bring them to me immediately!"

Whoosh—!

100 bottles of the best wine!

If Ye Xingyu had said something else at this moment.

Most of the drunks in the room would probably ignore him.

But when good wine was mentioned.

Everyone instantly woke up.

All of them stared at him with shocked eyes!

There were also some jealous, angry, hateful, and ill-intentioned glances.

But Ye Xingyu didn't care at all.

The owner of the tavern was a pot-bellied old man.

He usually ignored most of the poor devils in here.

But upon hearing Ye Xingyu's words.

He uncharacteristically leaned forward himself, carefully reminding him with the most polite words:

"Respected patron, our most expensive famous wine, 'Flying Celestial Maotai,' costs 3,000 gold coins per bottle! If you really want that many, please pay for the wine first. It's a total of 300,000 gold coins!"

"Hehe ~ small change ~"

Ye Xingyu sneered, casually pulling out a palm-sized gold pouch and tossing it to the boss.

The tavern owner solemnly caught it in his hand.

He took a closer look.

"Hiss—!"

It really was 300,000 gold coins!

In a small place like his.

He hadn't made such a large transaction in hundreds of years!

In deep space, to facilitate transactions.

Therefore, some special gold pouches could be made to replace large amounts of gold coins.

The shop owner immediately bowed respectfully to Ye Xingyu, this god of wealth, saying: "Alright! Esteemed guest! Your wine will be served immediately!"

"100 bottles of Flying Celestial Maotai! Waiter, quickly fill them up for our distinguished guest!"

In less than three minutes.

On the wine table in front of Ye Xingyu.

100 bottles of the most expensive Flying Celestial Maotai were neatly arranged!

He had even specifically asked them to arrange them in a pattern of three horizontal and three vertical rows.

Neatly stacked three layers high.

At the same time, arranged in three rows on the tabletop.

Holding the last bottle in his hand.

Countless drunks stared intently at the 100 bottles of Flying Celestial Maotai!

The malice in their eyes was almost overflowing!

If it weren't for their consideration of the tavern owner's reputation.

They would have already moved to snatch them!

Even so.

All of them still had red eyes.

Looking at Ye Xingyu as if he were their mortal enemy!

Ye Xingyu uncorked a bottle, took a swig, and quickly frowned, spitting it out, and cursing loudly:

"Pah! This tastes awful!"

He then stood up and left the tavern without looking back.

The tavern owner was momentarily stunned.

He had lived half his life and never encountered anything like today!

Then a large group of drunks, whose eyes had long turned red.

Unanimously swarmed forward.

Tipping over all 100 bottles of Flying Celestial Maotai!

On average, each person snatched 4 or 5 bottles of Flying Celestial Maotai!

Many people immediately gulped it down!

...Ye Xingyu deliberately slowed his pace.

He walked leisurely towards the city gate.

His speed was very slow.

Gradually.

He noticed two blurry figures appearing behind him.

Their movements were very covert!

Ye Xingyu's lips couldn't help but curl upwards.

Indeed.

The most important step of this quest was to find the former Fire Worship Cultists.

They usually hid in old taverns.

He had to obtain the location of the Fire Worship Cult's ruins from them.

Only then could he find the right place.

Ye Xingyu lured them out with money.

He had taken the correct first step!

Next.

It was to obtain the former site of the Fire Worship Cult's sacred land from them.

He was about to succeed!

Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Ye Xingyu slowly accelerated.

He walked towards the nearest city gate.

It was very inconvenient to act within the city.

So he had to lure the Fire Worship Cultists out of the city first.

This was also the first difficulty of this quest.

It seemed Ye Xingyu was about to succeed!

However.

To his surprise.

The number of unfamiliar figures following behind Ye Xingyu.

Gradually increased.

At least.

It was far more than the two people he had assumed.
