Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 259: Chapter 153: Departure (2)

Boom!

With a fierce leap, he soared into the sky, the power of evil thoughts erupting behind him, carrying them beyond a height of over three thousand meters to where they descended upon Sin City.

He set up a teleportation array to return to the city and cast a glance at Sin City before Baiyi stepped onto it with Moon Side.

Buzz~

As the space trembled, before Baiyi disappeared, an alchemy bomb was left at the original place.

Scarlet mist flickered.

Boom!

After a blast, the teleportation array was instantly destroyed, leaving only a crater.

The surrounding rocks crumbled and fell but were decomposed and dissipated by the black mist below.

”Tch, really gone...”

A low murmur sounded, Ai Nuan’s gaze flickering as she looked at the crater, and the next moment, her body turned into a wisp of blood-colored smoke and vanished from the mountaintop.

And some prying eyes on the mountaintop also withdrew.

Sin City returned to its usual tranquility.

-----------------

Outside South Spirit City.

The fluctuation of space flashed, and Baiyi appeared with the unconscious Moon Side.

A teleportation array spanning three thousand kilometers could not kill a Bronze Middle Tier but could still inflict severe injuries on them.

The first time Baiyi tricked players, he had to transform their bodies into illusion bodies, or else their physical forms wouldn’t withstand it.

He fed Moon Side a life recovery potion and a spiritual recovery potion.

Immediately, a faint glow flashed across Moon Side’s body, and slowly, he opened his eyes.

”Ugh~ Boss, were we attacked? Ugh~”

Moon Side suddenly retched, feeling like his brain had shrunk two whole circles and was still vibrating wildly, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Baiyi let him go, the aura around him gradually becoming gentle: ”We’re gone, this is South Spirit City. I’ll have someone take you to my city later.”

Baiyi spoke as he walked towards the city.

Although Moon Side felt terrible, having grown up in a place like Sin City, he was not that delicate, forcing himself to follow Baiyi step by step.

Despite his pale face, looking at the majestic city walls and the bustling crowd at the city gates, his eyes shined brighter than ever.

This seems to be... his future... He liked order.

But as he stepped into the city, his face instantly froze; it was not what he expected compared to the prosperity at the gates.

Low wooden huts, people with indifferent expressions sweeping the ground, their eyes void of the light Moon Side envisioned, rather more tranquil than those wanderers on the streets of Sin City.

This tranquility is... despair.

Once they got onto a vehicle they had never seen before, the despairing scenery around them began to stretch away.

This city was very clean, even in the slums it was exceptionally clean, occasionally some of the wooden huts would sprout, but the vehicle had traveled for quite a while now.

The fleeting glances, besides numb despair, held only a little envy and self-mockery.

But as the vehicle sped along a dedicated road, the first and second vehicles appeared around them.

Tat-tat-tat...

The sound of propellers arose, and Moon Side looked up, glancing out the window.

A large mechanical device flew over their heads, flying toward the center of the city.

He gazed in awe, and in the time it took to look up, he saw a massive stone building in the distance which was unlike those wooden, numb buildings.

Children as young as eight or nine to those around his age came and went.

These people were different from the numb ones outside. The hope in these children’s eyes was the order he imagined.

However, he wasn’t given a chance to observe further as the vehicle quickly drove past the school and began decelerating.

Some peculiar people also came into his view, with expressions he hadn’t seen before, like curiosity and joy; some people walked strangely, suddenly jumping while walking.

Or suddenly somersaulting forward, sliding, attempting to run along the walls of wooden huts at a fast speed only to fall.

Moon Side was quite amazed; are these the people in order? Truly... peculiar...

As they passed through a city wall, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, shocking him with its prosperity.

Neon lights illuminated the night sky, large mechanical devices that flew lined up neatly at designated spots, real bustling streets, shops at every corner.

Entertainment facilities everywhere.

The vehicle slowed down; when passing some taverns, the minstrel’s poetry seemed to be telling someone’s epic, instantly elevating this city in his eyes.

He looked back once, seeing through the car window a tall city wall, and he was certain, completely certain, that the scenes within this city wall were what he heard from a warm voice about order when he was very small!

”Confused?” Baiyi asked softly.

Moon Side paused, immediately lowered his head, but felt something; now fully awake, he noticed the changes in Baiyi.

The fierceness disappeared; now Baiyi felt very warm to him, with no oppressive feeling at all, like a gentle brother rather than a terrifying evil god.

”Yes, the disparity is a bit much.” He spoke softly.

Baiyi was very calm; when players first came to the Federation, they felt almost the same since if you didn’t understand the background of the Federation, most of its systems were incomprehensible.

”Everyone has their talents, and they all will grow. Those who can grow to higher ranks are inside, those who cannot are outside. Any more questions?”

The vehicle stopped; the street was off-limits for outside vehicles, so he took out a Gold Coin and tossed it to the co-driver seat, stepping out with Moon Side under the driver’s delighted gaze.

”No more.” Moon Side lowered his head, his heart beginning to pound heavily; he seemed to understand the meaning of the scenes along the way.

Baiyi smiled: ”Remember, it’s the 7th of November, year 1537 of the Dawn Calendar. By 1540, I need you to reach the Silver Upper Tier; that’s your value.”

”I understand.” Moon Side’s voice was completely calm, with great confidence.

”Alright, let’s go then.” Baiyi walked towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

The two Elves standing at the gate did not stop them.

Most standing guard at the City Lord’s Mansion gate were the City Lord’s personal guards, and being personal guards meant they were basically of the same race as the City Lord.

Of course, except for those from Dongwu City, Baiyi didn’t care much about these people; the Apocalypse Legion could just take turns.

Walking all the way to the rear garden, Dias and Qin Xia were under a Tree of Life, one standing and practicing, the other sitting on a chair in a composed manner, occasionally giving directions.

As Baiyi approached with Moon Side, Dias’ cold voice sounded: ”Alright, stop for now, we have guests.”

The flames around Qin Xia were calming down, and she looked curiously at Baiyi and Moon Side, then trotted towards her master.

”Thank you, City Lord; I shall return this.”

Baiyi took out a Rescue Ice Crystal, spiritual power fluctuating, sending it to Dias’ side.

Dias did not take it, just asked: ”Have you finished your business?”

”Not so fast yet.”

”Then keep it; when you leave my South Spirit City, return it then. If you die here, it’ll be quite troublesome.” Dias said coldly.

Baiyi paused, thought for a moment, took out a blank notebook, moved his fingers slightly, and some deep blue text appeared on the notebook.

He took the Rescue Ice Crystal back and handed over the notebook.

Dias looked at the two potion formulas in his hand, with some astonishment and satisfaction in his eyes.

This was lost knowledge of the Elf Race, though he didn’t know where Baiyi got it. But with hundreds of Trees of Life, and each Tree of Life producing a dozen or so Flowers of Life every spring.

If this potion is only for the elder Gold Tier, then the peak power of Dawn can be extended for a few more years.

It could also extend the growth time for those geniuses by several years.

”I need an Alchemy Laboratory, and I hope this can be arranged.” Baiyi smiled and said: ”If you have any Life Priests or Life Mages and Alchemists here, they could come to the laboratory to observe. I will create a Source of Life potion.”

Dias looked at Qin Xia: ”You go arrange it.”

”Yes, Master.”
