Shocking secret, he is right here!
As the burly man recounted his story, Lin Xuan gradually pieced together the general cause and circumstances of his death.
The burly man’s name was Tian Yong, and he was from Lin Xuan’s hometown, Jiangcheng.
However, his college entrance exam scores weren't good back then.
He attended an ordinary university.
After graduation, he remained in Jianghai City to develop his career.
The Berserker profession was quite popular among adventurers, so he formed a fixed team with five other people.
Initially, their progress was good.
But later, during an adventure, three members of the fixed team died, and two were crippled.
Only he, thanks to his high defense, suffered no major losses.
After that, the team disbanded.
The burly man felt guilty, believing that these tragedies were due to him not being tanky enough.
So he went to a newly discovered ruin abroad, Olympus!
It was extremely dangerous inside.
Fortunately, he had good luck; not long after entering, he obtained a very powerful piece of equipment.
A ring that could increase luck and charm!
It had dual hidden attribute entries!
If this ring were sold, its price would even rival an S-grade talent card!
The burly man naturally knew its value.
He cautiously made his way through and eventually left Olympus safely.
Back in China, he wasn't in a hurry to sell it.
Instead, he used the ring's attributes to start a business of enhancing equipment.
He earned money by enhancing equipment for others and selling the equipment he had enhanced himself.
He used the money he earned to compensate the families of his lost teammates and his disabled teammates.
Everything was normal originally.
But recently, he discovered that his lucky ring seemed to haveFailure.
The success rate of enhancements was extremely low!
This was very abnormal.
That’s why he suspected that the enhancement materials Liu Da Erduo sold were problematic.
Of course, he bought materials from more than just Liu Da Erduo.
The reason he sought out Liu Da Erduo was because he heard that a new ruin might appear in Divine Grace Cemetery.
Having tasted the sweetness of new ruins, he naturally prepared to come to Divine Grace Cemetery to explore the ruins with the military.
He happened to encounter Liu Da Erduo in between and decided to ask him.
However, it was precisely this inquiry that cost him his life.
“At the time, I even thought it was Liu Da Erduo coming to ask for that bag of gold coins back.”
“Unexpectedly, that person’s two sentences confirmed my suspicion.”
Tian Yong looked down at his chest and said in a deep voice, “That person said at the time that I almost ruined his big plan.”
“He also said, ‘This enhancement gem was clearly replicated perfectly, so how did you discover it?’”
“After he said that, I was stunned, and that’s when he killed me with one blow.”
After listening to Tian Yong’s explanation, Lin Xuan was also somewhat shocked.
He seemed to have uncovered a monumental secret!
The Black Church had actually mastered the method of replicating enhancement materials!
This was too inconceivable!
However, after analyzing it, Lin Xuan quickly calmed down.
This method must have only appeared recently.
Otherwise, just by relying on replicated enhancement materials, the Black Church would have enough power and wealth to rival all the major global powers.
“However, listening to this, it seems that these replicated enhancement materials have flaws.”
“The enhancement success rate is very low.”
“This matter is a bit troublesome.”
One must know that enhancement failure has a chance to directly cause equipment to shatter!
Once these Black Church enhancement materials flow into the market in large quantities, it will likely cause panic among all adventurers.
At that time, let alone Jianghai City, probably the entire Blue Star would fall into chaos.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and asked a few more questions.
However, Tian Yong didn’t know much either.
After asking, Tian Yong looked at his health and stammered a bit.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Lin Xuan asked.
“G-God… my time is running out,” Tian Yong said, “There are a few things I’d like to ask you to do.”
“Yes, tell me.”
“The first thing is that lucky ring.”
“It can increase luck and charm, but it’s a guaranteed drop upon death. After I died, the ring was taken by that person.”
At this point, Tian Yong quickly used magic power to condense two images in the air.
“This is what the ring looks like, and this is what the Puppet Master looks like.”
“I hope it helps you.”
“The second request is… I still have some money in my bank card, about five or six billion.”
“I haven’t used it myself. I originally planned to buy life water for my teammates, but it seems I won’t be able to wait now.”
“I’m willing to give half as compensation to thank you, and for the remaining half, I hope you can deliver it to my teammates.”
Five or six billion!
He didn’t expect this guy to have earned so much money by enhancing.
Lin Xuan didn’t mind the extra trouble and nodded in agreement.
Seeing him agree, the burly man told Lin Xuan the address, and then took out everything in his backpack.
There wasn’t much, as he had been killed by the Puppet Master and dropped items once.
Lin Xuan didn’t care.
The main purpose of reviving the burly man was for information.
At this moment, Tian Yong’s health had already dropped to only ten percent.
Undead Rebirth monsters cannot be healed, nor can they be taken back into the summoning space.
Lin Xuan tried to transfer him to the Frost Domain.
As a result, his health continued to drop there.
There was no other way.
Lin Xuan told him to rest easy and then prepared to bid farewell.
Just as Tian Yong’s life was about to completely vanish, he suddenly looked up.
“God, I just thought of something.”
“Before I died, I seemed to vaguely see the ring rise into the air.”
“And I also heard him say that next, he was going to find the Song Family Chamber of Commerce…”
Before he could finish speaking, Tian Yong’s life completely dissipated.
As he died, his body slowly disintegrated into fragments.
“Sigh…” Lin Xuan sighed.
He pondered the last two sentences.
The ring rising into the air.
That means it’s very likely the Puppet Master himself was controlling his puppet from the air!
In other words, his true body was near Divine Grace Cemetery!
As for the Song Family Chamber of Commerce, could it be that the Black Church was preparing to make a move against the Song Family Chamber of Commerce?
The Song Family Chamber of Commerce was the largest chamber of commerce in Jianghai City.
The Song Family behind it was also one of the four great families of Jianghai.
Once something happened to the Song Family Chamber of Commerce, the entire Jianghai City would be shaken!
However, it was also possible that the Song Family Chamber of Commerce was colluding with them.
Either of these two situations was very important.
“A time of trouble indeed.”
Lin Xuan thought of the Demon Race from another realm, shook his head slightly, and turned his gaze to the remaining five corpses.
These people were all from the Song Family Chamber of Commerce.
“Wait…” Lin Xuan suddenly realized.
The last words of the puppet controlled by the Puppet Master very likely meant to deal with this group of people!
At that time, the people who went to the stall to cause trouble for Liu Da Erduo included not only the burly man but also this group led by the young master of the Song Family!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan suddenly became nervous.
If, after using Undead Rebirth, he could learn from these temporarily revived people that the Puppet Master had killed them, then combining that with the situation where Lin Xuan was not far from this group and was suddenly pulled into the ruins, it was very possible that the murderer who killed this group of people, that infamous Black Church adventurer, the Puppet Master, who was level 199, was also pulled into the Guanghan Palace Ruins!
Perhaps his true body was even here!
