123: How big is Lu Ran's face?

Chapter 123: How Much Influence Does Lu Ran Have?

What?

Lu Ran was a bit bewildered.

He just came to say hello; how did it turn into saving someone?

And saving the Qin Family?

“What happened to the Qin Family? Where’s Qin Wuyao? Is she injured?” Lu Ran asked subconsciously.

But as soon as he asked, Lu Ran realized he had made a common sense mistake.

After the Global datafication, there was no such thing as old injuries not healing. Even severe injuries or fractures would heal as long as one’s Health Points recovered.

This was also why high-level professionals were hard to kill by falling—their Health Points were too high!

As long as Health Points didn't drop to zero, they would recover!

It could be considered a good experience after the Global datafication.

“It’s a Qin Family matter, a mistake I made back then, and Qin Wuyao shouldn’t have to bear it. I originally planned to take Qin Wuyao and the Qin Family out of Black Fire City, but I didn’t expect that with just a slight delay, Qin Wuyao was captured,” Qin Lie said with a sigh.

Lu Ran was very surprised.

He asked, “Is the opposing force very strong? You are the Great Deacon of the Tiandao Alliance’s branch in Black Fire City; how dare they attack the Qin Family? Doesn’t the Tiandao Alliance care?”

Qin Lie said with an awkward expression, “That’s why I said it’s a Qin Family matter, trouble we brought upon ourselves. The Tiandao Alliance, in terms of emotion and reason, has no obligation to intervene. Now that the National War is imminent, I don’t want to cause the Tiandao Alliance to go to great lengths and waste time and effort dealing with my affairs because of me.”

Now.

If he hadn't been truly desperate, Qin Lie wouldn't have come to Lu Ran.

“I see. How is Qin Wuyao now?” Lu Ran asked.

“They restricted her communication, but she’s not dead. I don’t know the specific situation,” Qin Lie said with a worried expression.

“Understood. Do you know where they are?” Lu Ran asked.

“Yes, yes, they’re in Nantiao Mountain. The Sifang Stronghold’s Guild Residence is there,” Qin Lie said hastily.

“Okay, take me there!” Lu Ran said eagerly.

He didn't have many friends in this world.

Qin Wuyao was one.

Ye Hongyi, Liu Xinxin, Lei Tai, Yu Qingcang—these people could only be considered older brothers and sisters.

Lu Ran saw and appreciated their care for him, but when it came to close friends, Qin Wuyao was arguably the only one.

That night.

Lu Ran and Qin Lie traveled to Nantiao Mountain in the northwest via a teleportation array.

The Nantiao Mountain area belonged to a medium-level monster zone.

The wild monsters wandering here were basically Level 30 to 40.

It was through Qin Lie that Lu Ran learned.

Guild Residences were special existences.

They were different from towns and could be established by the Guild Master.

Most guilds would attach themselves to a main city.

It was convenient, fast, and safe.

Some guilds would also choose to set up camp in the wilderness, in scenic areas.

Sifang Stronghold was one of them.

The Sifang Stronghold guild wasn't well-known, but that was compared to the Four Great Guilds.

Below the Four Great Guilds, Sifang Stronghold's influence was actually considerable.

Lu Ran didn't know what grievances Qin Lie had with Sifang Stronghold, and he wasn't there to resolve grievances. His demand was simple: safely bring Qin Wuyao out.

And now, Lu Ran had the ability to do so!

Within a mountain hollow in Nantiao Mountain was the Sifang Stronghold’s residence.

“Do wild monsters not respawn inside Guild Residences?” Lu Ran asked curiously, looking at Sifang Stronghold in the distance.

“No, if a guild wants to establish a residence in the wilderness, there are some strict conditions. The chosen location needs data support, then the monsters in the area must be cleared. After that, the Guild Residence can be established. Once established, the residence becomes a secondary main city level, capable of setting up shields, defenses, and so on, and wild monsters will no longer respawn within the residence,” Qin Lie explained.

This was similar to a main city.

Wild monsters would not respawn within various main cities.

“But there’s no dungeon hall within a Guild Residence, right? It’s so inconvenient, yet these guilds insist on building residences in the wilderness. It’s really strange,” Lu Ran muttered.

“Actually, it doesn’t matter, because within a Guild Residence, there are teleportation arrays that guild members can use, connecting to various main cities,” Qin Lie said.

Qin Lie was quite knowledgeable about these things.

He answered all of Lu Ran's questions without reservation.

“I see. Let’s go, we’ll head over,” Lu Ran nodded.

“Wait, just… just go over like that?” Qin Lie was startled.

That was too brazen!

He said he was going to save someone, but just openly running over to confront them? This approach seemed a bit off, didn't it?

Qin Lie knew about Lu Ran's attributes.

But he was completely unaware of the new attributes Lu Ran had unlocked later and Lu Ran's current abilities.

Furthermore, because he was worried about his daughter, Qin Wuyao.

He didn't even know that the Elf Wings belonged to Lu Ran, nor did he have the mind to know, much less that Lu Ran could summon the entire Elves to help at will!

He also didn't know that Lu Ran now carried 200,000 Undead Army with him!

Nor did he know that there was a Titan Python on Lu Ran's wrist!

And he certainly didn't know that Dark Elf Queen Si Luoluo was also in Lu Ran's spatial dimension!

That was a Level 100 Dark Elf Queen!

“Yes, just go over like this. I’ll handle it,” Lu Ran nodded and said.

With that, Lu Ran led the way forward.

But just then.

A message suddenly came through the communicator.

Lu Ran looked at it and saw it was Liu Xinxin.

He immediately slapped his forehead and said, “How embarrassing, I forgot to say hello to Sister Xin and the others.”

Liu Xinxin: “Early in the morning, where did you run off to? I thought you went to the academy, but you didn’t. Where did you go?”

Lu Ran quickly explained the situation simply.

After speaking, Lu Ran pondered, wanting to ask Liu Xinxin if they could help.

After all.

It would be simpler if the Four Great Guilds handled it.

If Lu Ran had to handle it, as a small fry, he could only rely on his fists.

And if it came to fighting, it wouldn't be as simple as just a few deaths.

Furthermore, he hadn't even fully understood the grievances between Qin Lie and Sifang Stronghold, so it wasn't worth it to kill people for the Qin Family rashly.

But while Lu Ran hesitated.

Liu Xinxin’s new message came through: “You go check out the situation first, don’t rush to act, stabilize the situation, just ensure Qin Wuyao’s safety. I’ll be there soon!”

Lu Ran was stunned.

Before he could reply.

Ye Hongyi’s message came: “What is Sifang Stronghold? Stinky little brother, you don’t even tell your older sister when you run into trouble? Wait, older sister is going to tear down their Guild Residence!”

Uh…

Lu Ran’s mouth twitched.

Even Lei Tai sent a message.

A simple sentence: “The National Guardian Army will arrive soon!”

In Lu Ran's residence.

Ye Hongyi, Liu Xinxin, and Lei Tai exchanged glances.

“It’s rare for Lu Ran to encounter trouble; we must resolve it with full effort,” Lei Tai said in a deep voice.

“And the scene must be grand!” Ye Hongyi said, raising an eyebrow.

Liu Xinxin then looked at her communicator.

Then looked at Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai.

Afterward, she sent a message to Yu Qingcang: “Lu Ran has encountered trouble. What does your Tiandao Alliance say?”

Yu Qingcang, upon receiving the message, immediately put down everything he was doing.

After clarifying the situation.

He said in a deep voice, “Qin Lie is originally a member of my Tiandao Alliance, and now Lu Ran is also involved. What kind of thing is this Sifang Stronghold? We must go and see!”
