Chapter 170: Unknown Ore Decomposition Successful
Emerging from the observation room, Liu Wenyu went to find Wei Jun.
Inside the office, Wei Jun took a sip from his teacup and asked her, “How is it?”
Liu Wenyu replied, “We’ve obtained some rather shocking information. On any level, the existence of this game is bound to cause a stir in the scientific community.”
The more Wei Jun investigated during this period, the more he broke out in a cold sweat; he had already known what Liu Wenyu meant.
Wei Jun sighed softly, “The higher-ups are very anxious, unsure of what level of threat to prepare for. If this game poses a threat to Blue Star, we must also prepare early. If not, we must adopt an appropriate stance for observation.”
Liu Wenyu frowned slightly, “How much information have you uncovered about Song Jiulai?”
Wei Jun spread his hands, “It’s still the same. We are one hundred percent certain, with no flaws. We can’t find anything unusual. At least while she was alive, she was indeed a Huaxia citizen.”
Wei Jun glanced at the pensive Liu Wenyu and said, “The higher-ups are asking us if we should find a Player to try and contact the Sect Master in the game. What do you think?”
Liu Wenyu shook her head, “It’s best not to. She rarely appears in the Sect even in the game, and Players can’t track her movements. Rashly contacting her might put the Players in danger. Shuitan and Boss Zhan are currently our only two core contacts, and they are both disciples with outstanding talent. I don’t want them to be kicked out of the game. We are on the defensive; we can only follow their rhythm.”
Wei Jun nodded, “That’s what I told them too. Even if we were to make contact, it’s not now. We know too little about this Sect Master. Also, that System… Players all have a common System, and it can communicate like a normal person. It doesn’t seem like the AI System they commonly perceive.”
Liu Wenyu looked at Wei Jun, “Minister Wei, are you suspecting that this System is Song Jiulai?”
Wei Jun nodded, “We think so. Not only is she the Sect Master, but she also disguised herself as the System to communicate with Players in the game.”
Liu Wenyu asked, “Then what is her objective?”
Wei Jun pointed to a piece of information on the table, “According to the analysis of the expert team, it’s roughly related to this so-called main quest: to develop the Longevity Sect. All her disciples are recruited from Blue Star. Some experts believe she can’t recruit disciples on the Yunzhou Continent, which also aligns with the speculation that this Sect Master Song Jiulai and the real-life Song Jiulai are the same person.”
“Because she has lived in this World, she understands the people here well enough.”
Liu Wenyu nodded, “I think so too. If that’s the case, I believe our next part of the plan should be to arrange for more people to enter the game. We’ve discovered that this game affects reality, so perhaps we can send in a select group of people. Even if it’s a matter of luck, our people should have some who are not unlucky.”
Wei Jun nodded, “You will be in charge of this part. We will request whatever you need from the higher-ups.”
Liu Wenyu, “Understood, Minister Wei.”
In the game, Song Jiulai rubbed her slightly itchy nose, hands behind her back, inquiring about the reasons for the deaths of Groom Qin Yongkang’s previous two wives.
The System informed her, “Mu Qiu has encountered trouble.”
Song Jiulai immediately pressed, “What happened to her?”
System, “She was startled.”
Inside the underground plaza, Mu Qiu dared not move, her body trembling uncontrollably. Her face was pale, and cold sweat instantly streamed down her face.
She dared not move, finding even breathing extremely difficult.
She didn’t even dare to move her eyeballs around.
After making eye contact with those golden pupils for about ten seconds, a swirl of smoke rolled up, gradually obscuring the Giant Beast’s head.
It seemed to vanish into the smoke, disappearing completely.
Mu Qiu immediately collapsed onto the ground.
A gust of wind, from an unknown source, blew, and her back was soaked with sweat, feeling sticky and tight.
Now she knew where that Giant Beast had hidden.
Was the scene she had just seen an illusion?
Upon opening her eyes, she found herself here. Taking another step forward would lead to a ten-thousand-foot abyss.
And this Giant Beast hadn’t attacked her.
Was it too much trouble even to open its mouth?
Mu Qiu instinctively flew towards the back of the plaza.
Until she stood on the ground in the center of the plaza, looking at the abyss not far away, she had no words for her bitterness.
Fortunately, there was still an outlet for her emotions.
Sect Channel:
【 Mu Qiu: I think I encountered a legendary top-tier Demonic Beast, but it doesn’t quite seem like it… I’m not sure if it’s a legendary Spirit Beast 】
【 Han Tian: What?!! Really? 】
【 Zhou Nüzi: Holy crap, what kind of Spirit Beast! How top-tier is it! 】
【 Mu Qiu: I’m not even as big as its eyeball when standing in front of it… 】
【 Su Daqiang: You survived that? I don’t believe it! 】
【 Honghuang: That’s normal. If something as small as a tiny nose was me, I wouldn’t bother either 】
【 Mu Qiu: It’s a shame this Small World seems to be blocked; I can’t take photos for you all 】
【 Lin Yuyu: It would be great if you could do a Live Broadcast! I’ve been chatting with Players I met in this Small World for an hour. Your side is still more exciting 】
Song Jiulai saw what Mu Qiu said and exclaimed, “Oh?”
She asked the System, “What top-tier Demonic Beast did Mu Qiu see?”
System, “It doesn’t quite seem like a Demonic Beast. Mu Qiu didn’t dare to look up, so I could only detect a little. It should be a Flood Dragon.”
“A Flood Dragon?” Song Jiulai was shocked, “A relative of a Dragon? Are you sure you didn’t misidentify it? Do you know the difference between a Flood Dragon and a Dragon?”
System, “Nonsense, can I not distinguish between a Flood Dragon and a Dragon? Except for the horns on its head, its body is too smooth, like a snake. I estimate it hasn’t successfully evolved into a Dragon yet.”
The difference between a Flood Dragon and a Dragon is quite significant.
There are also legends of Dragons on the Yunzhou Continent, as well as divine beasts like Phoenixes.
However, the Dragons here are even more powerful than in the Huaxia concept.
Dragons are naturally Sacred Beasts, and it’s said they ascended and left the Yunzhou Continent long ago. Even among the legendary Sacred Beasts outside Yunzhou, they only possess the Dragon’s bloodline and inheritance. True Dragons are not here.
Flood Dragons, besides evolving from snakes and undergoing Tribulation, are not pure Dragons even if they evolve into Dragons.
True Dragons are born naturally; if born, they are Dragons.
In terms of bloodline, the Cultivation World strictly controls it.
However, even a Flood Dragon can wreak havoc on the Yunzhou Continent.
Just from Mu Qiu’s description, one can tell how large that Flood Dragon is.
However.
“Is it still a Young Flood Dragon?”
Song Jiulai had read some ancient biographies from the Yunzhou Continent. A true Flood Dragon, when fully stretched, could span an ordinary human city. It’s not just that Mu Qiu, when standing up, wasn’t as big as its eyeball; humans would be like ants under its claws.
System, “I estimate so. It seems this Small World has something special. Not only are there sacrificial ruins below, but there’s also a living Young Flood Dragon.”
Song Jiulai was envious upon hearing this, “Why is Mu Qiu’s luck so good? She encounters a big one right away.”
System, “No need to be envious, you will eventually—Huh?”
【 Unknown Ore decomposition successful 】
Following the System’s prompt, Song Jiulai suddenly felt a sharp pain in her palm, “Damn it!”
She looked down.
A small, black scorpion raised its sharp tail and pierced her palm.
