Chun was teleported to Gem Starlight City.
Gem City is nestled around a dormant coastal volcano. During the Great Expansion, the gemstones erupted by the volcano shone like the brightest starlight on the night sea, hence the na.
The gemstones on the mountain surface of Gem City were excavated during the city’s construction period; now the gemstone mines extend underground along the volcanic passageways. This has also given birth to an underground city where the poor reside, and the extrely dangerous secret realm instance "Underground Multi-Level Maze."
Chun looked around and suddenly realized... only a few scattered players were watching him, and surprisingly, they weren’t laughing at his face paint?
Honestly, having fewer onlookers is a good thing, but it feels a bit unusual! There’s also a bit of a psychological gap; if it’s because the Gem City players are high-end and busy, then fine, but why aren’t the China District players here—okay, as an old cadre, I’ve picked up so bad habits.
So, where is the specific location of the Dark Soul Witch?
Chun checked the Prophetic Crystal Ball again—system prompt: The task’s Divine Artifact has already made a prediction, the next prediction ti is random.
Holy shit! Could it be that I confird the witch’s location incorrectly just now? But considering it’s a 10,000-round trip plane ticket, can I not confirm it?
So how long until the next prediction ti? A few minutes? A few hours?
Where should I go now? I’m not a local; I don’t even have the qualification to go to the mining area to dig so gemstone ore to earn back the ticket money. Anyway, since fighting is fighting, I might as well head to the underground city’s slums to continue fighting gangs and making a na for myself.
Just as Chun swaggered towards the underground entrance, a player dressed in black appeared: "Brother Chun! I am Midnight Moore from the Dragon Slayer Guild, Dragon Brother from the Royal Family asked to co and receive you..."
Chun was stunned, this na sounded familiar, often hearing Great God and them ntioning it, seems to be one of the global top hundred masters before the open beta!
Chun imdiately checked the rankings and saw it, ranked 2311! Is this?
Chun asked: "The Physician in the top hundred before the open beta?"
Moore smiled: "That’s ! Developing the hidden profession task took a lot of ti, not contending for that rank. Dragon Brother also asked to investigate a debt list of Bilenna, there’s a family of debtors residing in Gem City, there’s been so progress."
Holy shit!
Chun shook hands excitedly: "Master! I heard you got critical hits giving blood to female players and female NPCs, nicknad the Gynecology Holy Hand! And, your scalpel throws never miss and every hit is lethal, nicknad Little Mo Flying Knife!!"
Moore laughed: "Brother Chun, don’t call a master, just call Little Mo, nothing compared to a real master like Brother Chun. Actually, the blood-replenishing flying knife is just my side job, I have two hidden professions, one is Poison Master, the other requires taking the Five Cities quest for advancent, Gem City is just my second stop. I’m familiar with the city, Brother Chun, just say where you want to go."
Holy shit, revealing the hidden profession upon first eting?
Chun could only ask: "What’s the situation with that debtor family?"
Moore said: "They run a song and dance casino on the fourth layer of the underground city, quite troubleso for but might be easier for Brother Chun. According to my secret investigation, this debtor’s ancestors not only owed Bilenna’s family but also owe several others from Black Iron City, then escaped to Gem City for protection by spending money seeking the shelter of powerful Mages, and have been living well for generations."
A gang affiliate, huh!
Chun asked in astonishnt: "How did you investigate this?"
Moore smiled: "Hidden profession, sneaking into their house to flip through things. But so places are too well guarded, can’t go there."
Could it be a thief? But don’t thieves need Five Cities advancent?
Chun asked: "So what’s the next step?"
Moore hesitated: "I don’t know, it depends on Brother Chun’s thoughts. If Brother Chun wasn’t coming, I was planning to take a trip to Silver City to investigate another debtor there."
My thoughts? I ca here specifically to fight with my Blasphemous Shield!
Chun imdiately had an idea: "I’ll go see the debtor, if I can’t, I’ll trash his place! You said his house is tightly protected, can you take advantage of the chaos to search for more stuff?"
Of course, mainly want to see if I’ve crossed over a century, and if it will have any impact on this debtor.
Moore was shocked: "Brother Chun! This is a Gem City gang, many mbers know magic, it’s not like the Black Iron City slums. Furthermore, this debtor also has a legitimate businessman identity, making it big could land us in jail?"
Chun’s scalp tingled upon hearing this! But if I chicken out, how can I live up to the title of top player Brother Chun in the national server? With the soul of an academic achiever, self-esteem doesn’t allow it...
Chun suddenly thought of Black Iron Flower Fafnir mode! She supports doing this! What about Gem Flower Eve? Perhaps this is an opportunity for her to see in a new light and get to know her...
Chun made a decision: "It’s like a cesspit; if you don’t throw a stone down, you’ll never know how deep or slly it is, the bigger the ss the more problems you’ll discover, maybe even gain unexpected help—I refuse to believe there’s no one in this city who doesn’t find the debtor annoying! I refuse to believe no one will seize this chance to hit the debtor with a Black Hand, anyway, I’m the one taking the bla."
Moore was amazed: "Brother Chun, you really opened my mind like a phrase from the lavatory! Alright, since Brother Chun says so, I’ll do it with you!"
Chun laughed: "No, your task is to infiltrate, you absolutely must not get exposed."
Moore laughed: "Brother Chun is right, I’ll push the cart for Brother Chun!"
Chun rembered sothing: "If you push my cart, won’t the Ten Lords in this city make trouble for you if they see?"
Moore chuckled: "China District players from open beta until now haven’t made enough trouble, have they?"
