Chapter 359: Larik!
"Is this the person you’ve been looking for all this time?"
"Yes, she’s the one I asked you and Old Fang’s group to find together."
"So it was her…"
Jiang Chen looked puzzled at the woman in the distance in front of the stall, "From what I know about you, you have never been interested in romantic relationships. Why would you go to such lengths to find a woman?"
Ye Qiu gazed at Zhao Yeqing from afar, "I owe her."
Jiang Chen glanced at Ye Qiu, "What do you plan to do next?"
"Now, the Snake Ring, Owl Ring, and Wolf Ring are all in the hands of various military forces, they are already negotiating to open the Loki Temple."
"Next is Larik, once Larik dies, Fenrir will be released, Rex’s revenge has not yet occurred, it may just be a matter of timing."
"Of course, you can choose to ignore all of this, just take that woman back to the mainland, hide as far away as possible, leave the matter of Green Velon to us."
Ye Qiu shook his head, "Avoiding is never the solution to problems. You may escape for a while, but you can’t escape forever."
"I will not leave here, I will keep moving forward until all of this is over, then I will go back with her."
Jiang Chen nodded, "Alright, but if you really want that woman to survive, you better convince her to return to the mainland."
"Green Velon is too dangerous. It’s best to keep her here, as accidents are bound to happen."
"She won’t go back," said Ye Qiu as he turned and walked away. "Let’s go check on Larik."
。。。
After Ye Qiu and Jiang Chen left, a handsome man in a black and gold ancient robe suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Yeqing’s stall.
"Do you want to buy some flowers?"
The man picked up a rose, with a playful smile on his face.
"How much?"
Zhao Yeqing held out five fingers, "Five coins."
The current currency used is Green Velon. The value of one copper coin is equivalent to one coin.
The man’s wrist turned, and a gold coin suddenly rolled from his palm to his fingertips, then handed it to Zhao Yeqing.
"Gold, a gold coin?"
"This is too much, I…I can’t find that much money…"
Zhao Yeqing thought for a moment and handed the gold coin back with both hands, "How about I give you the flowers for free, and you take the money back?"
The man, upon hearing this, did not take the gold coin. "I think this flower should be worth this price."
"Your name is Zhao Yeqing, right?"
Zhao Yeqing blinked, "Have we met before?"
The man smiled and shook his head, "No, but I have heard of your name."
With that, the man suddenly reached out and touched Zhao Yeqing’s forehead.
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Yeqing’s eyes suddenly became unfocused, and she saw the man’s mouth slowly curling into a smile, "That’s it."
Zhao Yeqing gradually came to her senses, but the man had disappeared.
"Strange… Where did that person go?"
。。。
Tower of Seals, first floor.
On the endless crimson desert, a sea of people surrounded the central area of the map.
Standing on the huge Ancient Teleportation Array, Legendary Hunter Larik, with red hair and wearing armor, stood firm.
Countless bodies lay around him, showing signs of a tragic death.
There are many reporters live broadcasting the scene here.
At this moment, the reporters are interviewing someone outside the military.
The person claims to be a top player from The Sealed Land, with an understanding of the game reaching 80%.
"Mr. Wolong, what do you think is the main reason for the failure in the battle against Larik this time?"
The man, referred to by reporters as Wolong, has short hair and narrow eyes.
"You mentioned Larik, how many times have you battled in the game?"
"Originally, relying on the experiences summarized in the game, we could minimize casualties and speed up the strategy progress."
"But Xiaomeizi just won’t listen to the advice from us veteran players, and even calls us idle people?"
"You said how many times they risked their lives over and over again to monopolize Larik’s equipment, sticking to the same lineup strategy each time!"
"He didn’t want ready-made experience, he insisted on trying things out for himself!"
"Sure, let him try. What did he come up with?"
"Darn it, he doesn’t understand these few skills. They dare to face Fire Sword Dance, can they handle it?"
"Can’t handle it!"
"He doesn’t have that kind of strength, you know?"
"If we keep fighting like this, soon there will be no one left. If there’s no one left, there’s no point in playing. Let’s just close Earth OL and go sit in Hall of Echoes together."
"Then even Hall of Echoes gets defeated, reincarnation won’t work, and then there’s no more game to play, everyone’s spirits will scatter."
A reporter stepped forward with a microphone and said, "But, the US military was the first to prepare for Larik…"
Before the reporter could continue, Wolong interrupted him directly, "Oh, point out the flaws, in a battle like this, they haven’t laid a good foundation themselves. Can you guarantee that they will face three Guardians in a row like Master Ye and remain invincible?"
"Unable to fix it, the foundation is there. Originally, everyone was peacefully polishing the basics, added with hot weapons, Larik would have passed by unharmed."
"No need to rush, no need to rush. What are they in a hurry for, eager to be reincarnated?"
。。。
Listening to Wolong’s passionate criticism, the hastily arrived Jiang Chen and Ye Qiu glanced at each other, roughly understanding the situation at that moment.
Several high-ranking military officials whispered to each other, arguing incessantly!
"One more time, this time it will succeed for sure!"
"Are you joking about taking lives, General Joseph Seliveus?!"
"We should change our tactics, listen to the opinions of the gamers at that time!"
"Ridiculous, this is reality, not a game. How can reality be so trivial!"
"But he’s just something in the game!"
"Please Minasan, stop arguing, why don’t you listen to me."
"You shush, this is not your place to speak!"
"Since we have different ideas, let’s just rely on our abilities!"
"Alright, let’s rely on our abilities!"
Cheng Haixing looked around and suddenly saw Ye Qiu in the crowd.
When Cheng Haixing saw Ye Qiu, he quickly walked over, "Kid Ye!"
Ye Qiu looked at Cheng Haixing and asked, "Elder Hai, how is it going?"
Cheng Haixing shook his head, "No, it’s too rushed, none of the departments had time to rehearse their strategies before going live."
"Using traditional tactics to fight Snake Lord and Owl Lord can still work, but Larik is not a boss that can be easily defeated."
"Simply put, soldiers are not gamers. Most of them lack gaming experience, talents, and knowledge of boss mechanics. Relying only on firepower will lead to failure."
"Furthermore, unlike in the game, we can’t resurrect endlessly now. We don’t have the luxury to make mistakes."
Ye Qiu puzzled, "Why not gather players from the game to form a team?"
Cheng Haixing shook his head, "It’s not allowed. Bringing outsiders into the military will only introduce more risks and uncertainties."
"We can’t guarantee that every player will follow orders because they were never soldiers to begin with."
