219: Chapter 219 Cleaning up Skull Island
"Alright then! But let me make this clear first, I need a large quantity of star-glow crystals." Mu Cheng could only agree helplessly.
Little Demon Fox Emperor: "Don't worry, star-glow crystals are a piece of cake for you. Hurry up and report to the Super Ability Academy!"
"Hey! Hearing you say that... why do I feel like I'm being sold out?" Mu Cheng felt something was off.
The Little Demon Fox Emperor threw out a Rubik's Cube that transformed into a Teleportation Talisman Array. "How could that be... I'll give you a lift!"
"Fine! It's not like I can't help, as long as the pay is right, everything else is fine."
Mu Cheng stopped dwelling on it and stepped into the Teleportation Talisman Array.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the legendary Super Ability Academy. The school gates were dilapidated, and the plaque was nearly scrapped.
"What kind of Super Ability Academy is this? I feel like I've been scammed." The thing Mu Cheng was worried about had happened after all.
But now he had to bite the bullet and go in. The moment he stepped inside, a video call came through.
"You gave me a fright." Mu Cheng was clearly startled, but he eventually pressed answer.
"Hurry up, kid. Use these coordinates and the nebula to return." Sister Ninger's voice came from the other end.
Hearing that familiar voice, Mu Cheng quickly operated the controls and entered the destination coordinates into the nebula.
"You're Lan Ninger? Are we going back to the Blue-White Star?"
"Mhm, remember to call me Sister Ninger from now on," Lan Ninger replied.
Mu Cheng was still a bit hesitant. "Wait... let's get this straight first, you have to cover the travel expenses."
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll cover the travel expenses, alright?" Lan Ninger agreed very readily.
Mu Cheng: "Transfer the travel expenses over first."
"No problem." Lan Ninger was incredibly polite and actually transferred ten trillion star-glow crystals over.
"Why does this feel a bit off?" Mu Cheng obviously felt it was somewhat inexplicable.
But in the end, he still clicked to confirm the teleportation...
In the blink of an eye, he returned to the Blue-White Star...
"Is this Mount Everest?" Mu Cheng recognized it at a glance.
"Hurry up! Ninger has been waiting for you for a long time." It was Mo Yanyan's voice.
She was still the same, enjoying her local tobacco...
"So it's Sister Yanyan, long time no see!" Mu Cheng walked over with a smile to greet her.
Mo Yanyan didn't buy it at all. "Too much nonsense."
After saying that, she grabbed Mu Cheng and leaped... for some reason, they entered a secret base.
People were coming and going, and they were basically all ordinary people...
"This is?" Mu Cheng asked, feeling a bit uncomfortable looking at the scene.
Mo Yanyan: "There are too many ordinary humans. Now, only Ninger and I are left at the Super Ability Academy. Don't make a fuss."
"Alright! If there are any difficulties, just tell me." Mu Cheng was no longer the person he used to be.
That ruthless person...
"Ninger will have arrangements, just keep up!" Mo Yanyan continued to lead the way.
She could handle a fight, but she was powerless when it came to things like personnel management.
Soon, under her guidance, Mu Cheng entered a control room.
"Ninger, the person is here. I won't disturb you two." Mo Yanyan left immediately.
Mu Cheng got straight to the point. "Sister... Ninger, just tell me if there's anything. I'll do my best to get it done."
"It's actually quite simple. I need control over the Worlds Number One Tower plus the nebula." Lan Ninger stopped her work.
Mu Cheng: "As for the control of the Worlds Number One Tower... that's easy to discuss, but this nebula."
"Don't worry! Just like the Worlds Number One Tower, I only need partial control. I'll teach you how to use it once we enter the nebula's interior," Lan Ninger said as she walked toward Mu Cheng.
Mu Cheng operated the nebula's control page, and there really was an option to enter the nebula's interior; it only cost one million star-glow crystals.
"Fine! I'd like to see just how powerful this nebula really is."
After confirming the number of people, Mu Cheng pressed confirm, and the two were teleported to the nebula's control room.
"Quickly, give me authorization." Lan Ninger was quite excited.
Mu Cheng hurriedly began to operate. "Alright... isn't this a bit of a scam? It costs one trillion star-glow crystals just to grant authorization."
"star-glow crystals are a piece of cake, take them!" Lan Ninger was also very straightforward, trading one trillion star-glow crystals over on the operation page.
"Fine! I've given you authorization." Mu Cheng understood the importance of the matter and confirmed Lan Ninger's authorization.
Once Lan Ninger got the authorization, she immediately performed a series of fierce operations.
"As expected of the nebula. Compared to the Super Ability Academy's control system, one is in the heavens and the other is on the ground."
"Are we in... outer space?" Mu Cheng looked at the screen in front of him, clearly finding it a bit incredible.
Lan Ninger nodded.
"Mhm, it will be much more convenient to work here from now on. The situation in Dongfang City, the Ancient City, Guangshen City, and the energy fluctuations... everything is clear at a glance now."
"How are... they doing lately?" Mu Cheng asked.
Lan Ninger: "Pretty good. That girl Gu Na has already broken the third Shackles, while the twin sisters are a bit weaker."
"The girl who controls the Sword Tower... is also in the three-Shackles realm."
"How is the situation in Dongfang City? And have you seen Bai Yi?" Mu Cheng asked again.
Lan Ninger: "Everything is fine in Dongfang City. With your mother-in-law there, there are no problems. As for Bai Yi, her true identity is actually from the Chu family. There has been no news of her over this past year."
"A year has already passed? Didn't they say three years on the Battlefield is only one year here?" Mu Cheng was shocked.
Lan Ninger: "That's the first floor. You went to so many places... it's already good that you could return in a year."
"Alright! Is there anything else?" Mu Cheng asked again.
Lan Ninger operated the page, and soon Mu Cheng was teleported into a special space.
"Craft your mecha and qianji here," Lan Ninger's voice came through.
Mu Cheng didn't hesitate and immediately began crafting. In less than ten minutes, he finished making the mecha and qianji.
"Look, this is the true use of the nebula." Lan Ninger's voice came through again.
Two digital entities began to appear and started crafting the mecha and qianji.
"Replication ability? Sister Ninger... you're being a bit dishonest." Mu Cheng finally realized he had been tricked.
Lan Ninger: "Giving a little for the human race—besides, you're a member of the Super Ability Academy, isn't this what you should do?"
"Fine! But is there any reward?" Mu Cheng, not being a fool, asked.
Lan Ninger: "It seems like you don't lack rewards! From now on, your use of the nebula is on me, and that's that."
"Hey! Isn't there a hero scoreboard? Let me see if there's anything good as a gift for going back," Mu Cheng said after thinking for a moment.
Soon, a purchase page appeared before him, and Lan Ninger's voice followed.
"Actually, they don't lack anything. If it's a gift, give them star stones! Fusing them into a divine artifact can make it comparable to a super divine artifact."
"star stones? These things are a million a piece. Wouldn't it be better if I just bought a super divine artifact directly?" Mu Cheng felt the value wasn't worth it.
"You win. I'll give you over a hundred star stones!" Lan Ninger was afraid Mu Cheng would actually buy a super divine artifact.
Helplessly, she could only trade the star stones to him...
"That's more like it. By the way... Sister Ninger, where can I go to repair my black hole heavy sword?" Mu Cheng was finally satisfied.
super divine artifacts were rare to begin with, mainly because no one was exchanging for them... they were likely used to maintain appearances.
Lan Ninger: "It's not time yet. You should go back!"
In the blink of an eye, Mu Cheng was teleported to the Ancient City.
"I'm back?" Mu Cheng looked at the familiar sight before him and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Ancient City control room.
Tao Mumu sent a message.
"Sister Na, that looks like Brother Cheng."
"It really is him." After receiving the message, Gu Na immediately released her perception. Confirming it was Mu Cheng, she replied to the message.
A moment later, Gu Na went up and gave him a big hug.
"Brother Cheng, you're finally back."
"Yeah, I'm back." Mu Cheng's heart jolted, but he still gently hugged Gu Na back.
"Hey! Sister Na, Brother Cheng... what are you two doing?" A voice suddenly came through.
It was none other than Tao Shuishui. With her big eyes and sudden appearance... she really seemed quite playful.
"It's not what you think." Gu Na was instantly embarrassed and quickly let go.
Mu Cheng: "Not seeing you for a year, and your strength is already at the second Shackles. You're really something, girl."
He walked up and put his arm around Tao Shuishui's shoulder...
"Brother Cheng, where have you been this past year? Why can't I sense what your strength level is?" Tao Shuishui really couldn't see through him.
Mu Cheng: "As for strength, of course I'm stronger than you guys... By the way, why did you all choose Shackles? Why not try Bloodline Power?"
"It's all about the same. As long as you break the fourth Shackles, you can similarly use Bloodline Power," Gu Na replied.
"Alright! Since your Brother Cheng is back, if there's any trouble, just say it... I'll help you solve it," Mu Cheng suddenly asked very seriously.
Tao Mumu sent a message. "We have quite a lot of trouble... everything marked on this map is."
"Leave it to me! By the way... Mumu, gather all your divine artifacts for me. I'll help you re-forge them with star stones as a small gift." After studying the locations, Mu Cheng sent a message to Tao Mumu.
"Mhm, it's just fifty or sixty divine artifacts. I'll have to trouble Brother Cheng then." A moment later, Tao Mumu replied to the message.
"Fifty or sixty... it seems that in one year, Menglou Pavilion has truly grown and expanded." Mu Cheng was also quite shocked.
But with time being tight and the task heavy, he sent a message. "Do you two want to come along?"
"Sure, I really want to know Brother Cheng's strength," Tao Mumu agreed.
Gu Na: "I'll go too!"
"Fine, I'll contact Sister Ninger." Mu Cheng was idle anyway, so he might as well get some exercise.
"No problem, help me solve some trouble too!" Lan Ninger quickly replied to the message.
A short while later, the three were teleported above a Skeleton Island.
"Give me ten minutes, then you can send people to clean up." Mu Cheng released his Energy Wings to accelerate and dove straight into Skeleton Island.
"Brother Cheng... is it really okay? The scale of this Skeleton Island has the strength of a Three-star Realm King God," Tao Shuishui said worriedly.
Gu Na: "Let's go down and take a look too!"
"Mhm." Tao Mumu agreed.
On the first floor, there were zombies and corpses everywhere.
The second floor was the same; no one was left alive.
The third floor, the fourth floor... all the way to the ninth floor.
By the time they got down, Mu Cheng had already dealt with the Zombie King.
"Three-star Realm King God strength... it seems the restrictions on Blue-White Star are starting to gradually weaken." Mu Cheng wasn't stupid and could guess as much.
"Sister Na... it's already solved? Brother Cheng... just what is his strength now? Isn't it a bit freakishly strong?" Tao Shuishui clearly couldn't believe it.
Gu Na operated her wristband to send a message: "Mhm, it's solved. Have the sisters come over and clean up!"
"You guys are here too. Can these treasure chests... still yield divine artifacts? Are there any Traders left?" Mu Cheng asked upon seeing the two.
Gu Na replied: "Treasure chests can yield them, but it's very, very rare... only about a hundred have appeared this year."
"As for Traders, they are occasionally found, but they are all ordinary-level Traders who can only trade for some supplies."
"Forget it then, if there are no Traders, then there are none. We don't lack these resources right now anyway." Mu Cheng stopped dwelling on the issue.
Tao Shuishui: "Brother Cheng... this matter isn't that simple. Half a year ago, High-level Traders vanished into thin air for some reason."
"There's such a thing? I'll ask Sister Ninger." Mu Cheng operated his wristband to send a message.
Lan Ninger quickly replied. "The sudden disappearance of the Traders was indeed very abrupt, and the reason is still being investigated."
"Even Sister Ninger doesn't know... let's leave this to her! We're going to the next Skeleton Island." Mu Cheng sent another message out.
The three were soon teleported to another Skeleton Island.
"Nana, are all the dangerous areas on the map Skeleton Islands? Why have so many appeared?" Mu Cheng asked.
Tao Shuishui rushed to answer: "Sister Qingyan said... it's the descent of the New Continent."
"The New Continent? We'll talk about that later. Let's solve the Skeleton Island problem first!" Mu Cheng dove into the Skeleton Island again.
Gu Na and Tao Mumu followed closely behind...
In less than ten minutes again, there were no more zombies left on this Skeleton Island...
Five days later.
"Finally finished. It's time to help you re-forge your divine artifacts with star stones." Mu Cheng finished clearing the last Skeleton Island.
He sent messages to Tao Mumu and Lan Ninger respectively...
In the blink of an eye, the three returned to the Ancient City's defense line.
"Give me both of your divine artifacts too!" Mu Cheng said.
Gu Na and Tao Mumu both took out their divine artifacts... Mu Cheng didn't waste any time and immediately entered his consciousness space.
He began to use the star stones... to re-forge the divine artifacts.
In less than six hours, all the divine artifacts were finished. When he woke up in reality, Gu Na and Tao Shuishui were nowhere to be seen.
"Mumu, they've been re-forged." Mu Cheng traded all the re-forged divine artifacts over.
Actually, he wanted to give some other things too, but Tao Mumu refused...
"It seems Menglou Pavilion doesn't lack resources at all now. Fine... I'll just keep these then." Mu Cheng didn't force it.
At this time, Lan Ninger sent a message. "Everything over there is handled. Now help me out!"
"Is everything... okay over in Dongfang City?" Mu Cheng couldn't help but ask.
Lan Ninger replied: "No problem. With Little Piglet and Er Ha there... nothing will happen."
