Chapter 284 Task Update
"Please select a teleportation location:"
[Commercial District] [Trade District]
[Profession District] [City Lord's Mansion]
After entering the teleportation array's range, Lin Yi quickly chose: [Commercial District]
Then the scene before his eyes flickered, and the next moment he found himself on another platform.
At this point, Lin Yi was already prepared to be attacked, counterattack, and divert the Demon Race. However, when Lin Yi appeared on the 'Commercial District' teleportation array platform, he found the surroundings unusually quiet.
Before Lin Yi could react, Yuna had already appeared behind him, and suddenly a figure darted out from a nearby shop:
"What are you standing there for? Hurry over here!"
Lin Yi turned towards the voice and saw a dark-skinned man anxiously waving at him.
The following Yuna grabbed Lin Yi's arm naturally:
"Let's go!"
At this moment, Lin Yi was still thinking: How is it possible that there are no Demon Race guards here? This doesn't make sense!
But by this time, Yuna had already led Lin Yi into the blacksmith shop Lin Yi had designated for Yuna earlier.
Dazed and following Yuna, he entered a blacksmith shop that looked rather dilapidated, and a player by the name of Brahma Heaven Emperor approached Lin Yi enthusiastically, saying:
"Hello, you must be Feng Hua, right?"
"Nice to meet you."
Lin Yi set aside the confusion in his mind and composed himself.
He then glanced at the somewhat dark-skinned man before him, though he still felt something was off, he couldn't figure out what it was.
But anyway, the other party did 'help' him once, so Lin Yi couldn't keep a stern face and responded:
"Hello, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Brahma Heaven said:
"It's all fate."
However, Lin Yi couldn't help but inquire out of curiosity:
"Where are the guards here? How come I didn't see any Demon Race?"
"Or is this place originally like this."
Yet before Lin Yi could finish his sentence, someone suddenly popped up beside him.
Brahma Heaven chuckled:
"To talk about this, you really have to thank him."
Lin Yi was startled by the suddenly appearing person, and before he could see clearly who it was, a commotion arose behind him.
When Lin Yi turned around to look, he saw dozens of Demon Race members cursing and swearing as they returned to the teleportation array.
Seeing this, Lin Yi seemed to think of something and looked at the man who had suddenly appeared:
"Were you the one who led the Demon Race away just now?"
And this person was the only thief professional player among the ten, Sea King Nate.
What Lin Yi could think of was that perhaps these two were just about to cooperate and use the teleportation array when they happened to meet him coming over?
Although this thought made Lin Yi feel it was a bit too coincidental, Brahma Heaven's explanation precisely confirmed this.
Brahma Heaven said calmly:
"Originally, he and I were planning to explore another place, and just happened to see you coming."
"Thinking that in this spooky place, an extra person is an extra helping hand, led to that scene just now."
Hearing this explanation, Lin Yi still felt it was a bit too coincidental.
But aside from this, he couldn't think of any other reason, so he didn't dwell on it:
"In any case, thanks for your help, otherwise, we might have ended up in quite a hassle."
Lin Yi looked at the lineup of the Demon Race outside, contemplating something.
At this time Sea King Nate laughed:
"Here, everyone is a collective, helping each other is a given, right?"
He finished while also looking at Yuna:
"Right, Miss Yuna?"
Perhaps not expecting to be mentioned, Yuna quickly nodded after being stunned for a moment:
"Right, right."
After Yuna finished speaking, she looked at Lin Yi and found him looking at her.
For some reason, Yuna instinctively lowered her head, avoiding eye contact with Lin Yi.
But in the next moment, a familiar smile appeared on Yuna's face again:
"But anyway, we're finally safe now."
Then Yuna asked Lin Yi:
"What are we going to do now?"
Lin Yi walked to the window on the side of the blacksmith shop and looked into the distance, frowning:
"I need to find a way to check the issue with the teleportation array and see how it can be repaired."
But just as Lin Yi finished speaking, he heard Brahma Heaven say:
"I have already been there; you can just ask me about this."
"What."
Lin Yi turned around sharply, looking at Brahma Heaven in surprise:
"You know?"
Brahma Heaven nodded:
"In fact, we just came from over there and are preparing to look for materials to repair the teleportation array."
This immediately caught Lin Yi's attention, and he asked:
"What materials are needed to repair this teleportation array?"
Brahma Heaven, with a solemn expression, replied:
"The teleportation arrays of both continents are only missing the transmission core."
"And if we find the transmission core and install it, we can complete the repair."
"Transmission core?"
Lin Yi furrowed his brow:
"Where do we find this thing?"
Brahma Heaven:
"According to the system's hint, it said it might be found in the City Lord's Mansion."
"I don't know the details either."
"So just now, Nate and I were planning to check out the situation at the City Lord's Mansion first."
After finishing, Brahma Heaven did not forget to share the progress of the quest with Lin Yi.
Looking at the updated information on the quest, it was indeed as Brahma Heaven said; at least on this point, he hadn't lied.
No wonder in the previous life, this quest was completed only when players had generally reached level forty.
As expected, the final boss in this floating city should be at the Demon Monarch level at most.
And the strength of a Demon Monarch is between 50-70, making it quite difficult to challenge this level of Demon Monarch with the current level of thirty.
The helplessness faced when confronting that Fog Demon back then is still vivid in memory!
As for whether this boss could reach the Demon King level above the Demon Monarch, Lin Yi hadn't considered it.
Because if it were truly a Demon King, even players reaching level sixty might not be a match, let alone level forty or fifty.
"How about it, brother Feng Hua, should we go together to check it out?"
Brahma Heaven suddenly asked beside Lin Yi.
Just as Lin Yi was about to agree casually, Yuna suddenly said:
"Why don't we rest for a moment and plan a strategy before going?"
"Shua!"
Brahma Heaven and Nate turned almost simultaneously to look at Yuna, with Nate frowning:
"We don't know what's inside. What's there to discuss?"
But Brahma Heaven glanced at Yuna and then said to Lin Yi:
"Don't listen to her, brother Feng Hua, let's go."
"In a while, Nate will distract those of the Demon Race, and then we will go directly into the City Lord's Mansion."
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly noticed Yuna beside him giving him a subtle wink.
However, Lin Yi chose to ignore this, and said to Sea King Nate:
"Looks like I'll have to trouble you again."
Sea King Nate waved his hands repeatedly:
"It's no trouble, not at all."
Lin Yi nodded and said to Yuna:
"Then let's get ready to go."
Seeing that Lin Yi's mind was made up, Yuna looked at Lin Yi's back with a complex expression, saying no more.
By this time, Sea King Nate had already entered stealth mode and left the blacksmith's shop.
Lin Yi suddenly turned his head to ask Yuna:
"Do you know them?"
"Ah?"
Yuna was stunned, then quickly shook her head with a light laugh:
"I don't know them, how could I?"
Actually, Lin Yi was just asking casually and didn't care what Yuna answered, continuing to say:
"Once there, I'll attract the attention of the Demon Race, and you guys follow after."
It was obvious that "you guys" also included Brahma Heaven ahead and Nate outside.
Brahma Heaven naturally understood the implication in Lin Yi's words and replied:
"Alright."
At this moment, a sinister smile appeared on Brahma Heaven's face, which was facing away from Lin Yi.
Suddenly, Yuna received a private message from Lin Yi:
Feng Hua (private chat): "Once we're there, don't worry about me and run outside, don't enter the City Lord's Mansion. Find a place to hide, and the rest is up to you."
Yuna was stunned, looking at Lin Yi in shock, and then another message arrived:
Feng Hua (private chat): "Although I don't know what relationship you have with them, considering you helped me before, now we're even."
"Player Feng Hua sent you a trade request, please choose:"
[Accept][Reject]
Yuna, as if driven by an inexplicable force, clicked: [Accept]
Then Yuna stared blankly at the feather fan in the trade window, her chest feeling as though something was blocking it, making even breathing exceedingly difficult.
Yuna pressed the [Confirm] button, her heart filled with an indescribable bitterness: Sorry.
