A glitch during a system upgrade at a certain game boosting studio accidentally grants them the "Otherworld Boosting System." As long as they log into the system, the studio members will be...
Deep underground, the stronghold of the Resurrection Cult.
Wanna walked cautiously past a group of cloaked believers.
This wasn't the first time she had dealt with these people.
Xiao He's predicament had driven her to despair, leaving her no choice but to resort to this last and most unwanted method—
Collaborate with the "Lord of Ice".
To test the effect, she first had to find a small city and then secretly tamper with their teleportation tower.
In this way, the true form of the Lord of Ice can descend through the teleportation tower, thus initiating the "Millennium Revival" for this city.
"Since one person's strength is not enough to deal with you, then I will have to send more people to deal with you..."
Without the slightest hesitation, Wananna signed a contract with the "Lord of Ice" avatar in front of her.
"Woman, as long as you can merge all the remaining fifty-nine city teleportation towers of Nojin into my Ice Mark, you will be the Archbishop above all others in the Church of Resurrection."
“Anna understands.” Wan Anna knelt on one knee and accepted a bottle containing fifty-nine snowflakes with both hands.
"And this, take it." Sangmaik said calmly, "You can borrow my power in a critical moment, but you can't use it against a girl who looks a lot like me."
Upon hearing this, Wan Anna's heart skipped a beat.
Before she could ask the question out of curiosity, Sammeque's figure turned into frost and disappeared above the altar.
Until she left in a daze, no one said a word.
-
Days passed by, and the deep winter month came to an end before we knew it.
It wasn't until the middle to late part of winter that a piece of news slowly began to attract the attention of the people of Flying Dragon City.
"The war for millennium revival is about to begin! 32 cities across the continent have already been attacked! Nine of them have completely fallen!"
The newspapers featured a clear color photograph of the "Lord of Ice," much to the astonishment of the people of Flying Dragon City.
If they hadn't known that Xiao He was a girl with light blonde hair, who had been studying at the Cloud Academy and often helped clear out monsters from the outskirts of the city... perhaps they would have thought to arrest her without even asking any questions.
But as things stand, all cities might misunderstand him, except for Flying Dragon City.
Wanna knew this, so she worked even harder to help Sammeq destroy other cities.
When only Flying Dragon City remains, that will be the perfect time for her to close the net.
On the Flying Dragon 1.
Xiao He was also looking at the Nuojin newspaper from the past two weeks.
With an average of one city attacked per day, this "millennial resurgence" is more intense than ever before.
"You think that's not right either?" Yang Xing asked, turning around from his computer desk.
Xiao He nodded: "This order, this speed... even the stone dragon king Asas couldn't do it."
"I remember you said that the altar can only transport souls, not the physical body?" Yang Xing asked him again to confirm.
"Um."
"According to what you said, the Ice Cross can currently revive monsters that are about a thousand years old, but judging from the destructive power in the photos, it would take at least five thousand years to achieve such an effect. Therefore, Sangmaikui himself must be present for every operation. So how did he manage to escape?" Yang Xing asked, puzzled.
Xiao He thought for a moment: "Could it be a city teleportation tower?"
“But the newspapers didn’t mention anything unusual about the teleportation tower,” Yang Xing said.
“This is a bit difficult…” Xiao He couldn’t help but stroke his chin.
"Now people are starting to worry about whether they'll be next in the list of cities to be targeted." Yang Xing turned his gaze back to his computer screen with a hint of helplessness.
The screen displays live footage captured by "cameras" in various corners of the city.
Since the incident involving Wan Anna, the inspector general, he has begun to "monitor" the city's operations in a comprehensive manner.
In his words, "I don't trust anyone except my own people."
But after nearly a month of observation, no trace of Wan Anna was found; it seemed as if she had truly disappeared.
Xiao He also felt very troubled.
I just broke through to level 61 yesterday and successfully became a senior priest. I even got the letter of introduction for the reinforcements.
Seeing "his" appearance suddenly published in a newspaper that is used throughout the entire continent, isn't it obvious that he is being told to stay in Flying Dragon City and not go anywhere else?
"Damn it! That Sammek!"
Xiao He angrily threw the newspaper out of the cabin door, which landed right in the hands of Wang Xuefeng, who had just stepped into the cabin.
"What is that?" The latter was completely confused.
"The newspaper," Xiao He said irritably. "This time I've truly become the enemy of the mainland."
"Show me a screenshot?"
"Sent it to you."
Wang Xuefeng frowned as he read the contents of the newspaper.
He keenly sensed a hint of being targeted.
"I suspect there's a mole inside."
Yang Xing immediately clapped his hands: "Yes! That's what I thought too!"
"A mole within the committee?" Xiao He asked, puzzled.
“Only the committee can extend its reach to all cities; cities cannot do that between themselves.” Wang Xuefeng speculated, “Perhaps someone on the committee has secretly defected to the Resurrection Cult.”
“But if we non-natives can think of such an obvious problem, there’s no reason why the Nuojin people wouldn’t.” Yang Xing spread his hands.
“Therefore, the primary goal for each city right now is to temporarily disband the alliance.” Wang Xuefeng immediately gave the optimal solution: “Remove from the committee’s jurisdiction, close the teleportation towers, and let each city isolate itself and protect itself.”
"But why haven't any cities done this yet?" Yang Xing asked.
"I wouldn't dare," Wang Xuefeng explained. "There has to be someone who steps forward and takes the lead."
Yang Xing suddenly realized: "I understand! In that case, I'll go and give my opinion to the city lord now!"
"Are you sure? Another city lockdown?" Xiao He understood, but for the team, a city lockdown was like blocking their experience bar.
"How about this, Xiao He and I will leave the city, and you can seal it off again," Wang Xuefeng suggested.
“That works too. Anyway, the team’s warehouses are interconnected. I can send you whatever equipment you need. You can also help me find materials while you’re out there. It’s too dangerous outside the city, and the workers don’t want to go out…” Yang Xing said with a worried expression.
“Alright.” Xiao He had no objection: “Then let’s ask Instructor Honglian for leave and leave now.”
"Yes." Wang Xuefeng nodded.
The two understood how important the "temporary dissolution of the alliance" was to the safety of the remaining cities, so they did not delay at all, dealt with everything as quickly as possible, and quietly left the city under the cover of night.
This was also for Xiao He's safety.
If the Resurrection Cult's target is indeed Xiao He, then the time and direction in which he left Flying Dragon City must not be revealed.
The two traveled through the Hengduan Mountains in the northwest, and the mechanical wings on Wang Xuefeng's back made him look like a bat in the dark.
Xiao He, already captivated by the speed of flight, nestled in his arms, comfortably closing his eyes while examining the system's map.
“The town of Green River is ahead,” Wang Xuefeng said.
"What's wrong?"
"There are people in town."
