Chapter 1298 Another Invitation
"This is their background. The Holy Spirit Society spent such a huge price to be on the leaderboard. The Guardian Alliance didn't even send out the most powerful immortal, but they still made it to the leaderboard, and even ranked above the Holy Spirit Society, earning two stars."
"Sure enough, the Guardian Alliance is still too strong."
"That's not true. With so many precedents, the Guardian Alliance was able to formulate corresponding strategies. It's not that they are necessarily stronger than the Holy Spirit Society. They just use the right people and skills."
"That's what I said, but it's still too strong."
"We reached the Golden Palace so quickly, yet only received two stars. It seems that the speed of reaching the Golden Palace is not the criterion for obtaining a star rating?"
People were a little surprised at how quickly the Guardian Alliance made the list.
Whether it is strategy or strength, to be able to achieve this level, no matter what the reason, it can only be said that they are too strong.
Zhou Wen also looked at their method of passing the level. This method was not very useful as it required the coordination of three abilities.
Time, space, and the speed of the Great Demon, none of these three can be missing.
Zhou Wen has the speed of a great demon, no slower than her. He also has spatial abilities, but not temporal abilities. Unless he can find a time master like Dong Shi to help him and bless him with temporal abilities, he will be able to reach the Golden Palace before the seventh shot.
Zhou Wen had tried this many times in the game, but relying solely on speed, it was difficult to reach the Golden Palace before the seventh shot came out.
Unfortunately, there is no reward for reaching the Golden Palace in the game, and the door cannot be opened. Zhou Wen has no interest in this method. He still needs to find a way to crack the seventh bullet and kill the hidden disaster-level creature.
After the Guardian Alliance was on the list, no other creatures continued to be on the list for a period of time.
Tsukuyomi, Fallen One, Great Demon and Miyabi, there are only four creatures in the ranking list so far.
"I wonder how many stars the Cube will give if I kill that natural disaster creature?" Zhou Wen thought to himself.
A text message alert sounded, and Zhou Wen thought it was that Liuyun guy again, but when he opened it, he found it was from Hui Haifeng.
"Zhou Wen, is there any way to reach the Golden Palace?" Hui Haifeng's message was very direct.
"Yes." After watching the battle between the Great Demon and his men, Zhou Wen became more certain that the Venus dimension in reality was the same as in the game. The disaster-level bullets would only shoot at creatures with the highest life level.
"Do me a favor and lead the team up." Hui Haifeng said.
"Why go up there?" Zhou Wen asked doubtfully. He didn't quite understand why they all liked to be on the list so much. Why would they go up there if they knew they couldn't get first place?
Hui Haifeng explained, "The sense of belonging to the Federation among the people of the Federation is already weakening. If nothing more is done, who will be proud to be a member of the Federation? In a few years, perhaps, people will only know about the Guardian Alliance and the Holy Spirit Society, and no longer have the Federation in their hearts."
"Is there any problem with this?" Zhou Wen himself had no sense of belonging to the Federation and did not think there was anything wrong with this.
Hui Haifeng sighed, "Humans are inherently aggressive creatures, eager to fight for everything. With the Federation system, there's still some coordination between the various parties involved. But if one day, this fig leaf falls away and everyone fights for dominance, who do you think will suffer the most?"
Zhou Wen understood Hui Haifeng's meaning. If such a situation occurred, various forces would compete for supremacy, and it was unknown how many people would be killed or injured. Ordinary people would suffer the most.
"I can only find a way to get on the list, but I can't guarantee that the results will be good." Zhou Wen didn't want that situation to happen.
"Just making the list is enough. I don't have time to worry about anything else right now." Hui Haifeng said, "When can I go? What do I need to prepare?"
"Let me think about it again. There are some things I haven't figured out yet, and I need to be fully prepared." Zhou Wen said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, make a list of what you need and give it to me." Hui Haifeng is not short of money. He controls the business of the mythical liquid, and the Hui family is one of the richest families today.
Simply speaking of money, the Hui family may be richer than the six major families, but they lack the foundation and accumulation. Some things may not be available for purchase even with money and mythical liquid.
"Is there a companion pet that adds luck?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Lucky companion pets are quite rare. You can find them, but the highest level is mythical. You probably won't be able to find higher levels." Hui Haifeng said.
"Any level is fine." Zhou Wen still wanted to try and see if he could put together a set of lucky equipment.
"Okay, wait for my news." Hui Haifeng hung up the phone.
Zhou Wen knew that this was not an easy task. The Fourth Lord's requirements were not high. As long as he could make the list, it would be fine. It would not be difficult to help him make the list.
But if you want to help Hui Haifeng get on the list, it will not be that simple. If he is ranked below the Guardian Alliance and the Holy Spirit Society, then there is actually not much point in being on the list.
After two or three days, Hui Haifeng didn't send any message. It was probably because Lucky Companion Pets were really hard to find. Even if others had them, they would hatch them themselves and rarely put them up for sale.
The only good news is that An Sheng, An Tianzuo and others have finally returned, and Zhou Wen can no longer stay in the Governor's Mansion.
"Is the matter done?" When Zhou Wen saw An Sheng, he found that An Sheng did not seem very happy.
"It's done, I guess. We did find the Yuanjing mine there, but the reserves are much less than expected. I estimate it's only a few tens of thousands of cubic meters." An Sheng said.
"Isn't that enough?" Zhou Wen couldn't help but look sideways when he heard that there were tens of thousands of square meters.
"For ordinary people, it's indeed a lot, but for an accelerator, the materials refined from tens of thousands of cubic crystals are only enough to fire half a cannon."
Zhou Wen was greatly surprised when he heard this. He only knew that the accelerator must consume a lot of energy, otherwise it would not be so powerful. However, he did not expect it to be so energy-consuming. Tens of thousands of square crystals could only fire half a shot. If it fired two or three shots, the An family would be bankrupt.
"But it's better than nothing. Let's take it slow. The accelerator is just a deterrent after all, and there probably won't be many opportunities to use it in the future." An Sheng had something else to do, so he chatted with Zhou Wen for a few words and then went to do his business.
Zhou Wen no longer needed to stay in the Governor's Mansion, so he contacted Liuyun and asked him to arrange a meeting between him and the Fourth Lord.
The place where the Fourth Lord was to be met could not be near Luoyang. Fortunately, Zhou Wen had a strong ability of teleportation, so it was not difficult for him to go to a distant place.
Finally, Zhou Wen chose Dosili Island in the western district to meet the Fourth Lord. The island was very close to the mainland and was one of the few islands controlled by the Federation.
There is a dimensional area where lucky birds are produced, and Zhou Wen plans to take the opportunity to take a look.
The Fourth Lord agreed readily, and Zhou Wen decided the time and place.
Zhou Wen did not tell him the location first, but only told him what time to go there, and would tell him the specific location when they met.
Fortunately, nothing happened. When Zhou Wen saw the Fourth Lord, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
It was a little different from what Zhou Wen had imagined. The Fourth Lord should be an old man according to his name, but the Fourth Lord Zhou Wen saw was a middle-aged man who looked gentle and refined, and it was impossible to associate him with the word "Master".
"We meet again." The Fourth Lord said with a smile.
"Jing Daoxian?" Zhou Wen was startled when he heard his voice.
