57: Chaos Main City, Logout Arrangement

"That was close!"

Checking his body, Lin Yue secretly felt lucky; if he had been even 0.01 seconds later, he might have been blown to bits.

It was hard to imagine how strong the Demon God's Clone was, but considering the projections of the Seven Gods were like toys to it, he figured he wouldn't be able to withstand a single punch.

Looking directly at the person who had just spoken, Lin Yue froze.

The figure was a middle-aged scholar wearing a silk headscarf and waving a feather fan.

"Zhuge Liang?"

"It is indeed I."

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard with a smile on his face.

"Wait, the Lost City?"

Lin Yue's pupils suddenly constricted; behind Zhuge Liang, a main city with a distinct Dragon Country style came into full view.

"This place is actually the Lost City."

Lin Yue was somewhat confused as memories of his past life surged forth again.

There was a rumor in the Land of the Final End that besides the seventy-two main cities, there was another main city that had never been opened: the Lost City.

Even up until the Invasion of Ten Thousand Races, no player had been able to explore this main city; he hadn't expected to stumble into it by accident.

"Adventurer, there's no need to wonder; you are the only Adventurer who can enter the Lost City."

Zhuge Liang fanned his feather fan and said calmly.

"The condition for entering the Lost City is simple: collect all nine mysterious fragments."

"That's simple?"

Lin Yue was stunned because the nine mysterious fragments could only be obtained from nine treasure chests of the gods.

"Therefore, you are the only Adventurer capable of entering the Lost City."

Zhuge Liang tucked his fan into his waist.

"And I am your Guide."

Guide!

Hearing those words, Lin Yue immediately understood; Zhuge Liang was equivalent to a quest mentor for the Lost City, a special NPC.

"But there's no rush; first, let me introduce why this place is called the Lost City."

"Go ahead."

Having accepted the information, Lin Yue nodded, his curiosity piqued.

"In the Land of the Final End, the Lost City is the only Chaos City; those who can come here are all Chaos User."

Zhuge Liang paced slowly and spoke in detail.

"Having passed through the Ruins of the Gods, you must already be aware that gods and demons are the mainstream of this world."

"Correct."

Lin Yue nodded.

According to the world's background, the ultimate goal in the Land of the Final End was either to become a god or a Demon God.

"But we are different from gods and demons; we belong to Chaos."

Immediately after, Zhuge Liang waved his hand, and an ancient scroll appeared.

"During ancient times, a war between gods and demons broke out. Our Eastern gods joined the fray to stop it. However, the Western Demon Gods conspired together; our side was attacked by their combined forces, fell from grace, and plunged into Chaos."

In the scroll, scene after scene emerged; the tragic divine war was soul-stirring.

After finishing, Zhuge Liang stopped moving.

"That's it?"

Seeing that Zhuge Liang remained silent for a long time, Lin Yue asked in confusion.

"That's it; I only know this much."

"Well, that was basically telling me nothing."

Lin Yue sniffled; for some reason, he had the urge to hit Zhuge Liang with a Fireball Spell.

"Adventurer, you are not yet strong enough to know the true secrets; once your strength grows, you will naturally learn everything."

"And so?"

Lin Yue rolled his eyes; if it weren't for the fact that he was Zhuge Liang and there was a sense of nostalgia involved...

Lin Yue would have definitely raised his staff and attacked such an unreliable Guide.

"So, here, you can obtain a special class change opportunity—Chaos User."

Zhuge Liang's old face flushed, but he still explained patiently.

"Ding! You have received a class change quest: Chaos Class Change. Do you accept?"

"I do not accept!"

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow and refused first.

"Uh... Adventurer, don't be so quick to refuse; you haven't even heard the benefits of being Chaos User."

"I refuse."

Lin Yue wasn't a fool; the mainstream path in the Land of the Final End was to become a god. Why would he abandon a perfectly good path to godhood for some Chaos path?

Crucially, he had never heard of the Chaos path in his previous life; this was a completely new system and had to be considered carefully.

"So, those mysterious fragments were secretly put in by you guys?"

Lin Yue asked curiously.

"Exactly."

Zhuge Liang nodded.

No wonder Lin Yue thought it was so strange; why would a mysterious fragment suddenly pop out of a perfectly normal treasure of the gods?

It seemed the people of the Lost City had started planning long ago, with the goal of guiding an Adventurer into the Lost City.

Now that he knew the truth, Lin Yue wasn't in a hurry; he had too many paths to choose from now.

Not to mention, he had even obtained a wisp of Divinity from a treasure chest of the gods.

Checking the time, two whole days had passed since he started the eighth treasure of the gods quest; it was time to log off and check the situation.

"I can log off here, right?"

"You can. Please, go ahead."

Zhuge Liang actually understood what Lin Yue meant and made a gesturing motion.

"Awesome!"

Finally, it wasn't a special Instance; the corners of Lin Yue's mouth curled up as he immediately logged out of the game.

After logging off.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

After moving his body a bit, he called Fatty Qin and Old Bai to have breakfast together.

"Brother Lin, why haven't you logged off for two days? Breakfast didn't even taste good for Old Bai and me."

"Can't even food shut your mouth?"

Lin Yue glared at Fatty Qin and took a sip of freshly ground coffee.

"The money I told you to invest, did you invest it?"

"I did, I did! I invested two million; I even took out my wife fund."

Speaking of this, Fatty Qin's eyes lit up. Previously, when Lin Yue told them to buy Ba Tian Group's stock, he was a bit worried; now that Ba Tian Group's stock was skyrocketing, he regretted not investing another two million.

Old Bai also nodded; he had invested ten million, knowing Lin Yue wouldn't screw over his brothers.

Looking at various news reports on his phone about the Overlord Guild killing a level 12 world boss last night, Lin Yue showed a faint smile.

It was time to make a move.

"You two log off before 2 PM today and sell all your stocks as soon as the market opens."

Lin Yue immediately made arrangements for Fatty Qin and Old Bai.

"Huh? It's rising so fast right now, and we're selling already?"

Fatty Qin's face fell; the price had nearly doubled in just a few days, so it felt like a pity to sell now.

Old Bai pinched Fatty Qin. "Are you stupid? Would Brother Lin screw us? Quit while you're ahead."

"Alright."

Fatty Qin also came to his senses and nodded.

"Fatty, don't say I didn't warn you; sell it all, don't get greedy."

At the critical moment, Lin Yue still gave Fatty Qin a pointer; although Fatty Qin was a good person, he had some flaws, and among the brothers, his family background was the most ordinary.

"Understood, I'll definitely listen to Brother Lin."

Seeing Fatty Qin's solemn promise, Lin Yue nodded.

Immediately after, he took out his phone and sent a message to Feng Yun, Young Master Leng.

Having just logged off, Feng Yun, Young Master Leng saw the familiar number and a smile appeared on his face.

Finally, it was time to pull in the net.

"The target has left the village; begin the operation."
