Chapter 341: Chapter 191: Oh My! A Monster! (Part 2)

The Guard Brigade nodded: ”Yes, I like Xia’s history. I can see the stories I want to see in it.”

”Dongwu City has a division called the Scholars Division. If you’re interested, I can get you to join them. Their duty is to organize history and study all incomprehensible phenomena,” Baiyi said with a smile.

”Of course, I’m interested. I’ll trouble Lord City Lord then.” The Guard Brigade’s eyes lit up. He had never noticed this division before, but some of the history books he bought were indeed signed by scholars from this division.

”You deserve it. You can head over now. They’re right across from the City Lord’s Mansion. I’ve already notified them.”

”Just leave a message whenever you’re ready to pass on the information,” Baiyi said, starting to send messages to the Scholars Division and the Ministry of Finance.

He needed many minerals to repair the City Defense Mecha, and he also wanted to grant some privileges to the Guard Brigade. Since he liked organizing world backgrounds, he would let the Scholars Division open access for him to view more authentic history for free.

”Okay, I’m off then.” The joy in the Guard Brigade’s eyes couldn’t be contained, and his steps became lighter and more cheerful as he walked out. He hit the jackpot with resources this time.

After the Guard Brigade left, Baiyi walked out. Luoning and Aileen were chattering away at some green plants.

From the few bits of green peeking through the snow, it seemed they were cultivating, planning to restore the City Lord’s Mansion to spring in this harsh winter.

Suddenly, a slight noise came from a room not far away.

Baiyi and the two of them turned their heads simultaneously to see Diane finally awake by noon.

She stumbled a bit as she crossed the threshold.

”Sister Diane, are you hurt?” Luoning asked with some concern, ”Do you want Sister Aileen to help treat you?”

”No... no need.” Diane’s face turned beet red, and she glared at Baiyi, with magic power surging around her to nourish her body: ”Liar, stay away!”

Baiyi stopped in his tracks, feeling a bit awkward: ”Uh, alright, I’ll head to the Light Whisper Legion first.”

Saying this, he glanced at the livestream and walked out.

Watching the two of them, Aileen seemed to think of something, her face flushed. She tugged on Luoning, whispering softly.

Diane quickly took a gorgeously packaged drink from her Space Ring and drank it in one gulp.

Instantly, her complexion improved considerably. She stepped forward, interrupting the two young girls’ whispers. But seeing the blush on their faces, she glanced back at Baiyi’s retreating figure again.

Decisively changing the topic: ”Could you show me around Dongwu City? I’m not very familiar with this place.”

”Sure... sure...” ×2

”Really, I’ve never been this exhausted. Er Shu just came out and is already on the verge of death. How much longer until we arrive?”

Demacia looked utterly hopeless: ”This is taller than Mount Everest, isn’t it?”

Xiahou Fuxing was not far off either. One was a Mage, the other a Summoner, both magic professions. After hours of climbing, even eating a bun made them nauseous.

”Stop complaining. You have a quest; I don’t even have one. If you keep demoralizing me, I’ll jump off and return to the city,” Xiahou Fuxing said feebly.

He shouldn’t have listened to Demacia’s bluster about it being a surefire hit.

The number of viewers in the livestream was indeed quite a lot, but without anything exciting, the spectators would just leave after a while. It wasn’t much higher than usual.

”Ah.. no no, hahaha, I’ll definitely help you next time. Don’t worry, I, Demacia, always keep my word!” Demacia chuckled ingratiatingly.

The summoned creatures couldn’t assist him right now. If he had to climb slowly on his own, he’d be bored to death.

Finally catching a big sucker, how could he let them go?

”Still got any Magic Recovery Potions? I finished off what Baiyi gave me earlier,” Xiahou Fuxing joked as he continued to climb vigorously for a while.

After all, a Mage at level twenty-something could already learn the Flying Technique, but it was very mana-draining for them, not to mention he needed to cast the Flying Technique twice, so the double mana usage was unsustainable.

”Yep, got it, here.” Demacia took a potion out of his pocket and handed it to Xiahou Fuxing, watching expectantly.

After a bottle of blue potion was downed, Xiahou Fuxing waited a moment, took a magic staff out of a backpack slung over his back, and resolutely cast two spells.

This tactical backpack was something players made themselves, designed based on the characteristics of the profession to store weapons and supplies.

After all, this lousy game had no space equipment, so without a backpack, they could barely collect any loot.

The two rapidly flew up along the mountain peak. After flying for about thirty seconds, they quickly approached the mountainside. The moment they grabbed onto the cliff, his mana was just drained.

”Oh, crap~ I’m completely out. We’ll just continue climbing and see when we can reach the top.” Xiahou Fuxing put his magic staff back into the backpack and said somewhat helplessly.

”We should be close to done. We’re already at the cloud level,” Demacia glanced downward, his voice trembling: ”Oh god, don’t look down. Just one glance and you’ll explode.”

Xiahou Fuxing: ...

”You’re the only one looking around recklessly, huh? Hmm? Look there, what’s that?”

Xiahou Fuxing was excited: ”A mountain cave above the clouds, maybe it has a hidden storyline?”

Demacia suddenly felt energetic again, but after the two of them climbed into this mountain cave, their hopes were immediately dashed.

It was called a cave, but it looked more like a slightly larger recess, the kind sunlight could fully penetrate.
