58: unusual activity in the Li family

Starfall City, Li Family Mansion.

“You think you’re safe just because you’re involved with Wang Meng’s daughter?”

Li Hongqian, the Young Lord of the Li family, fiddled with his bracelet, a playful expression on his face.

Li Hongyang was still too young; he actually dared to leave the city!

Within the city, he had to consider the Steel Body Battle Group when dealing with him.

Once outside the city, it became simple.

These past few days, he had been under immense pressure, always feeling that his father’s gaze towards him had changed.

This was a signal.

If he couldn’t capture Li Hongyang, he would quickly become a vessel for the “blood replacement plan.”

The Star Pavilion’s battle team was arriving in the next two days, and he planned to act as their guide, accompanying them into Secret Realm No. 4399.

“Go hide for a while first!”

Just then, a subordinate walked in.

“Young Lord, Lin Xingyu’s loan is overdue. Should we take action?”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Hongqian, awaiting his decision.

It was already past the final repayment deadline, and they needed to go collect.

Originally, such a minor matter wouldn’t require asking for instructions, but since Li Hongyang was with Lin Xingyu, he had no choice but to ask.

Lest his actions disrupt Li Hongqian’s plan.

“Lin Xingyu… is that the kid next to Li Hongyang?”

Li Hongqian had always kept an eye on Li Hongyang, and he was very clear about the people around him.

“First, flatten his house, and later, we’ll build a public restroom there!”

Li Hongqian pondered for a moment, then said with resentment.

He currently had no good feelings towards Lin Xingyu and his companions.

“Yes!”

...At the entrance of Secret Realm No. 4399.

A large crowd had gathered here, making it exceptionally lively.

After the news of the dragon egg spread, a large number of Evolvers began to converge here.

Not only were there teams dispatched by various forces, but also adventurers who came after hearing the news.

Originally, outside the rift, there was a logistics base for adventurers to rest.

But as the number of people increased, the base became saturated.

Many forces simply set up camps nearby to provide logistical support for their own people.

To maintain order, the Steel Body Battle Group had already deployed its main force, but it was still stretched thin.

Wang Meng had no choice but to request aid from the Federation.

At this moment, reinforcements were already on their way... The phantom motorcycle was very fast, and in less than an hour, Lin Xingyu and the others had arrived.

As soon as they approached, they heard various shouts.

“Freshly roasted Dragon meat, don’t miss it, eat it and your strength doubles!”

“Team up to hunt wolves! Need a healer, highAppearance preferred! Food and lodging included!”

“Selling homemade Dragon tooth necklaces, automatically track dragon eggs, no charge if it doesn’t work!”

“Selling maps! Latest Secret Realm map, includes dragon egg locations, guaranteed authentic, not guaranteed to save your life!”

“Professional guide for new players, under Tier 2 at a discount, Tier 2 and above free!”

“Selling intelligence! Latest dragon egg location, exclusive information, first come, first served!”

“Selling myself for a team! Must be able to whine! Men get out, cute girls preferred!”

“Professional photographer! Help take posthumous photos! Book now and get a free last will and testament writing service!”

...Lin Xingyu listened, torn between laughter and tears, and was about to walk in when someone suddenly called out to him.

“Brother, do you want to buy an amulet? For safety, only one unit of spirit crystal!”

He turned his head and saw the person holding a string of colorful beads, a sincere look on his face.

Lin Xingyu smiled and waved his hand: “No need, I have my own amulet.”

The person was stunned: “What amulet?”

Lin Xingyu pointed to his head: “Intelligence.”

After speaking, he strode towards the rift, leaving the person standing there dumbfounded.

When the group arrived, a long queue had already formed.

Members of the Steel Body Battle Group were stationed at the front, and entering the Secret Realm required identity verification.

The staff were very efficient, and it was their turn shortly.

“Sister Whirlwind!”

Wang Chiyao greeted with a smile.

The person in front was none other than Female Whirlwind of the Steel Body Battle Group.

“Chiyao, you just Awakened, why are you here to join the fun too?”

Female Whirlwind was surprised to see Wang Chiyao, then her expression darkened.

“You wait a moment!”

Female Whirlwind pulled them aside, letting the people behind go first.

Immediately after, she dialed Wang Meng’s communicator.

Wang Meng was in the nearby base and rushed over quickly after receiving the message.

“It’s good that you want to go to the Secret Realm to hunt monsters, but you’ve only Awakened for a few days?”

“With your strength, are you going in to feed the alien beasts?”

Seeing the group, Wang Meng immediately launched into a scolding.

“Dad, we’re very strong! We took the top few spots in this trial!”

The Little Loli pouted, her face full of indignation.

“Brother Xingyu is already Tier 2, he’ll protect us!”

Seeing Wang Meng’s firm attitude, she had no choice but to bring up Lin Xingyu.

“You’ve even learned to lie… This is…”

Wang Meng was about to scold her when he saw the Tier 2 bracelet on Lin Xingyu’s wrist, and his voice cut off abruptly.

Only a few days had passed since the “Spirit Awakening Ritual,” and Lin Xingyu was already Tier 2?

Wang Meng couldn’t believe his eyes, he grabbed Lin Xingyu’s wrist and examined it carefully.

But after repeated inspection, he confirmed that it was indeed a genuine Tier 2 bracelet.

“Did you use a cheat? How do you Cultivate so fast?”

Wang Meng scrutinized Lin Xingyu, finding no signs that he was Cultivating forbidden Cultivation Techniques.

“Ate a few fruits.”

Lin Xingyu was a bit unaccustomed to Wang Meng’s gaze.

“Eating fruits to level up? What kind of Opportunity is this?”

Hearing this, Wang Meng even envied this young man.

Just then, he suddenly noticed the armor on the group.

They were all D-grade spirit gear… It seems these young ones have gained many Opportunities!

With D-grade spirit gear, their survival ability was indeed greatly improved.

“Alright, you can hunt monsters in the outer perimeter, don’t go too deep, and retreat immediately if there’s danger!”

After a brief thought, Wang Meng nodded.

“Dad, then we’re going!!!”

Hearing Wang Meng agree, Wang Chiyao immediately pulled the others into the Secret Realm, afraid he might change his mind.

Watching their retreating figures, Wang Meng couldn’t help but sigh.

“In the blink of an eye, these children have grown up and are now venturing into the Secret Realm independently!”

“This generation is truly blessed to encounter such a great Opportunity as the dragon egg; it was unimaginable before.”

“I wonder who will ultimately obtain it…”

...As soon as they stepped into the Secret Realm, everyone smelled a faint scent of blood.

Not far away, a pack of Shadow Wolves were tearing at the corpse of an Earth-Splitting Rhino, a very bloody scene.

“Charge! Brothers!”

Wang Ledian was excited, grabbing a wrench and charging forward.

“Charge!”

Wang Chiyao followed closely, her body covered in mech armor, erupting with terrifying speed.

Li Hongyang didn’t speak, but his movements were no less swift.

After learning about the evolution fruit, the group was eager to try.

Now seeing the alien beasts, they were all pumped up.

Lin Xingyu was much calmer; he simply snapped his fingers.

Two star ray shuttles flashed quickly, instantly bypassing the others.

“Pfft—”

“Ch—!”

Two Shadow Wolves had blood holes in their heads and fell to the ground with a thud.

Followed by two more Shadow Wolves…
