As Qin Chuan and Chang Jinze were talking, on the other side, Erik, who had just woken up not long ago, sat with Conni in his mansion, wearing a bathrobe, his face full of anticipation.
"It seems we can be sure now, 'Luo' is indeed 'Prayer.'"
"I'm actually not so sure," Conni said, looking at the documents in his hand, a thoughtful look on his face. "Prayer could also be 'Yue Li.'"
"Are you referring to that female player?" Erik grinned, "That's just a decoy put forward by 'Luo,' a trick we in the Solag Family have used many times."
"But it's also possible that Yue Li is the real one, deliberately misleading us," Conni introduced another possibility.
The two disagreed, and suddenly Erik laughed, "I think there's no need for us to debate this, since according to the intelligence, the two of them are acting together."
"Only children have to make choices."
"You're right, it doesn't matter who is Prayer, targeting both of them clearly won't be wrong," Conni's voice went a bit deeper, "Before you get the second piece of rare resources, I suggest we stay put."
"An Elite Rank Spiritual Beast capable of levelling up is a completely different concept, Luo will likely advance soon too, by that time you could be facing an attack from four Elite Rank Lv30s."
Erik fell silent for a moment, with the Third Talent effect of Ascension, he could completely take on two Elite Rank Lv30 beasts with just one Elite Rank Lv20.
But to fight against four, the hopes were slim.
"Fine," he slowly said, the undefeated aura in his eyes brewing once again.
"Once my two Spiritual Beasts are both Elite Rank Lv30, no one in this world can stop my march."
The Special Affairs Group was quite generous, offering Qin Chuan a reward of 100 Special Points simply for information on the threshold for Elite Level players.
This made Qin Chuan feel like he'd found another path to wealth.
"Qin Chuan! Come down!"
Little Fatty's shout came from downstairs.
Qin Chuan responded and quickly went downstairs.
"Take a look?" Little Fatty chuckled, waving a piece of paper in his hand and handing another to Qin Chuan, "I just happened to run into someone handing out flyers, and it's about the club I told you about. I took two."
Qin Chuan took it and saw that the club's opening ceremony was quite a spectacle, and the so-called ring challenge offered low-level resources as prizes.
With the difficulty of obtaining low-level resources getting lower and the pricing dropping below a hundred thousand, anyone with money could buy them, but to use them as prizes for an opening event was generous.
"Qin Chuan, I looked, and there's an Earth Origin Stone on the prize list!" Little Fatty had an expectant look, "I want to see if I can get that."
"Haven't you already applied for a trade?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh.
"If I can get it, I can cancel the trade, right?" Little Fatty snickered, "The player I'm trading with is quite far away; the logistics won't get here till tomorrow."
"If I get it now, I can advance a day earlier, and I can use this item later to obtain resources for my second Spiritual Beast."
"Then good luck to you," Qin Chuan tossed the flyer into the nearby trash can, "I'll cheer for you from down here."
"Okay!" Little Fatty pumped himself up.
The newly opened club was on the sixth floor of Fenghu Tian Street, and by the time the two arrived, it was already crowded.
There was a large ring in the central area of the sixth floor, where a boy stood, excitedly waving to the crowd below. Behind him on the electronic screen, the number "3" was displayed.
According to the rules, as long as one defeated the current champion and then won five continuous matches, one could receive a piece of low-level resource from the list.
However, the strength of the contenders that could go on the ring was limited to the Apprentice Level.
"I'm up!" Little Fatty exclaimed, rushing towards the ring.
Qin Chuan crossed his arms and watched as Little Fatty covered his body with rocks, landing several punches that knocked his opponent off the stage, he twisted his hips provocatively at the crowd below, drawing a series of boos, and Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh.
When the next challenger climbed onto the ring, Qin Chuan's phone in his pocket signaled a text message.
He casually picked it up and his smile faded.
[Special Task Cooperation Invitation]
[Two Third Rank Demon Beasts and a large number of Second and First Rank Demon Beasts have appeared in East Lake Nature Park. The situation is urgent, and the Special Affairs Group is short on personnel. We request cooperation and assistance.]
[If you confirm your participation in the assistance, please reply with "Participate", and we will contact you as soon as possible. Afterward, rewards will be given based on the number of Demon Beasts killed.]
Two Third Rank Demon Beasts, a large number of Second and First Rank...
Qin Chuan's expression grew more solemn by the second.
East Lake Nature Park, centered around a lake with several islands in it, and beautiful scenery along its shores, used to be a famous tourist spot before the animal mutations.
After the mutations, many Demon Beasts fled to East Lake, and mutated aquatic Demon Beasts were also present in the lake waters, so the area was completely sealed off, even the water flow was blocked.
Qin Chuan thought for a moment, then made a call to Ji Huai.
Some time passed before the call connected, and Ji Huai's calm voice came through, "What is it?"
"Mr. Ji, are you at East Lake?"
"Yes," Ji Huai answered succinctly.
Faintly, through the phone, shouting for Ji Huai to take action could be heard. Qin Chuan quickly hung up, no longer hesitating, he replied with "Participate".
A few seconds later, a call came in.
After confirming Qin Chuan's participation and getting his location, the other party left a message, "We will arrive within five minutes," and then hung up.
Qin Chuan set down the phone and glanced at the stage.
Xiao Pang was in the midst of his third fight, and it looked like he was about to win.
He sent a text briefly explaining the situation to Xiao Pang and then turned to leave.
Having fended off his third challenger, Xiao Pang, with a smile on his face, looked in Qin Chuan's direction, just in time to see his retreating figure disappear into the crowd, the smile on his face faltered for a moment.
Seizing the moment before the fourth challenger appeared, he picked up the phone that was lying in the corner of the ring, intending to call and ask about the situation, but upon opening it, he fell silent.
"The next challenger, come to the stage!"
A voice from the audience called out.
Xiao Pang vigorously rubbed his face, then with gritted teeth, turned to face the new Transcendent stepping onto the stage.
Covered in rock armor, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he threw each punch with all his might, as if his opponent was not just the one standing before him.
"Mr. Qin, what's this?"
The Special Affairs Group staff member who came to pick up Qin Chuan looked at Qin Chuan's current outfit, a puzzled expression on his face.
"A bit strange, huh?" Qin Chuan touched the mask on his face, "Yeah, it is a bit."
"Please, get in the car." The staff member, realizing that the other party chose not to reveal his identity during the mission, opened the door for Qin Chuan while asking, "How should I address you?"
"Bajie," Qin Chuan replied without a second thought, as he fastened his seat belt.
The driver couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the mask Qin Chuan was wearing.
Isn't that the Monkey King?
You're wearing a Monkey King mask and you say you're Bajie?
Okay, you're strong, you're impressive.
Taking a deep breath, the staff member buckled up and started the vehicle.
Destination, East Lake Nature Park.
