Absolute Death Game

"Unless that's not just a game, but actually an existence akin to an Otherworld," Xiao Buli added.

Zhang Yaoyang nodded, "Exactly, that's what I mean."

"Hey guys, I think now's not the time to discuss this problem, let's talk about how we can take advantage of this opportunity," Wu Min'er interrupted their discussion.

Xiao Buli nodded, "No matter what, this is our best chance. Once Li Jian finishes building the Six Realms Gate and the Demon Clan invades en masse into the company, it will definitely cause a massive chaos. At that time, the Qilin Group is bound to take action, and that will be the best timing for us to make our move."

Having said that, Xiao Buli turned to Wu Min'er and asked, "How much longer until the Six Realms Gate is complete?"

Wu Min'er thought for a moment, "Probably at most three to five days. But are you sure there won't be any problems? What if the invasion of the Demon Clan leads to the world's destruction?" she said with some haste and concern.

"Hah, I'm not worried about that," Xiao Buli laughed, "Given the strength of those demons in the game, do you think they stand a chance in front of modern weapons?

Even that so-called Abyssal Flame Demon Lord would be blasted to crumbs by missiles, not to mention that in such a conspicuous location as this building, the moment there is an invasion by the Demon Clan it would almost immediately attract external attention. I reckon they'd be wiped out in a day or two, we needn't worry about it."

What he said was true. Although the Demon Clan was powerful, that was merely in terms of their physical bodies, but even the strongest body seemed meaningless in front of modern thermal weapons.

The three of them discussed for a while longer, finalized the specific details of their plan when they were to act, and then dispersed.

Xiao Buli returned to the server room, a huge room that was chillingly quiet and completely empty. Everyone was in their own rooms watching movies or doing other entertainments, and barely anyone was on the machines.

This was a relief to Xiao Buli, thinking at least he didn't have to worry about exposing Mystic Hollow Palace to other people.

He logged into the game, but his character had already returned to Nine Dragons City.

He had returned to Nine Dragons City the previous evening, but because he wasn't in the mood, he had not continued to do quests or train his Professional Skills.

The battle was imminent, and Xiao Buli did not have the leisure to indulge in such things. Walking on the streets of Nine Dragons City, he noticed the atmosphere seemed tense, and occasionally groups of soldiers patrolled back and forth. On the city walls, catapults and balistae were being installed as part of the defenses.

It seemed the Golden Dragon Legion was preparing for a siege battle, which was likely to be a bloody and brutal affair.

Xiao Buli went to the Beast Pen and brought out Maoqiu. Not having seen him for a few days, Maoqiu's Loyalty had dropped by more than ten points. Xiao Buli opened his bag to check, and those pieces of Shadow Leopard meat were still lying there, untouched.

He wasn't sure if they were still part of Maoqiu's diet, but he couldn't worry about that now and just gave it to Maoqiu. Maoqiu sniffed at the meat hungrily and wasted no time feasting on it. With a few pieces of meat gone, its Loyalty was restored by more than ten points, and suddenly, a flash of golden light signaled another evolution for Maoqiu.

System Prompt: Your pet 'Maoqiu' has evolved and acquired a new skill 'Shadow Stealth'.

Shadow Stealth: Lurk in darkness or shadows to prevent enemies from detecting your presence. Any attack or damage will remove this effect.

This skill wasn't absolute invisibility, but was usable only in the darkness or where shadows lay. Nonetheless, it was quite good; for a pet, not having to worry too much about it getting inexplicably killed when taken out was a relief.

Xiao Buli checked his bag and warehouse, discarding all unusable items at the store. Together with his prior savings, he now had more than ten Gold Coins, most of which were spent at the Longquan Sword Pavilion.

As this might be his last learning opportunity, he didn't hold back and learned three new, advanced skills: 'Cross Slash', 'Riding the Wind Style', and 'Piercing Heart Sword'.

All three skills were active offensive skills. Their power wasn't extraordinary, but they were suitable for fusion.

After learning the skills and making some preparations, he immediately headed towards Mystic Hollow Palace.

He would be assigned to train newcomers the next day, so it was necessary to move his character to Newbie Village to stand by. On his way, he could also visit Mystic Hollow Palace once more. Part of the reason was to learn new spells, and the other part was to consult with Xuanxu Zi regarding some issues.

Checking his Prestige, he had achieved a Respectable rank with the Golden Dragon Legion after the past two days of quests. While the equipment sold by the Golden Dragon Legion's Quartermaster was of little significance to him, it was vital to learn advanced Riding Skills.

Having learned advanced Riding Skills, and spending his last five Gold Coins on a warhorse with 280% Movement Speed, Xiao Buli set off.

With the warhorse, travel was indeed incredibly fast, and in just over an hour, he arrived back at Mystic Hollow Palace.

Heading straight to the main hall of Mystic Hollow Palace, Xuanxu Zi seemed to have anticipated his return. Upon seeing him enter, he smiled and gestured towards a cushion in front of him. On the short table between the cushion and Xuanxu Zi, a cup filled with tea had already been placed.

Xiao Buli sat down on the cushion and clicked the teacup on the table. As his character drained the cup of tea, a system prompt suddenly appeared.
