Chapter 115 Qin Xiaoyou's Plea for Help! Jindong City, Thousand Gorges Corridor!
Qin Fang's expression darkened: "What happened? Are you in danger?"
Qin Xiaoyou nodded quickly, but then shook her head after a pause: "It wasn't me."
"Um?"
"Brother, you've given me so many things, and I've been quite careful, so naturally nothing will happen... It's that older sister named Gu Yiyun that you recruited before!"
Qin Fang was taken aback: "Gu Yiyun?"
"Um."
Qin Xiaoyou nodded and then said, "After I left that day, didn't you tell me to go to a city in the south? So I went. I met some new friends on the way... With the Liar's Mask, I formed a team with them... Well, I set myself up as an elite assassin."
“During this time, I’ve been adventuring with the team and heading further south… Brother, is Gu Yiyun’s code name ‘Frost’? She seems to be trying to break records, so now some cities here are already known as ‘Paradise’.”
“I also occasionally leave the team to break some records under the identity of ‘Akatsuki’… Although it has caused some minor trouble, they can’t find me because of the Liar’s Mask and Voidwalker’s Boots.”
"But just yesterday, we entered a secret realm. While killing monsters, we saw a large group of three-eyed people searching for something. I vaguely heard the name 'Paradise', so I went to take a look."
"It seems that Sister Gu Yiyun is also in that secret realm. It's said that she had a conflict with a human team for some reason, and then a fight broke out, exposing her epic class. Coincidentally, there are also people from the Three-Eyed Clan nearby... They were originally tracking Sister Gu Yiyun, so they immediately reported to the Three-Eyed Clan. Now they have blocked the entrance to the secret realm and are searching for Sister Gu Yiyun inside."
"I know that Sister Gu Yiyun doesn't have any corporate gear, and this is the only set I have, so I came to find you as soon as possible."
Qin Xiaoyou gave a general account of her recent situation and the specific details.
Qin Fang frowned deeply...
They've actually run into the Three-Eyed Clan.
Gu Yiyun, as the second employee and the third member of the amusement park... is arguably the most unfortunate of Qin Fang's employees so far...
There's nothing there.
They couldn't even contact Qin Fang.
A true 'orphan'.
But during this time she genuinely provided Qin Fang with a lot of corporate prestige... not much each day, but very stable.
This shows that she remembered Qin Fang's instructions... to break as many game records as possible.
Such a good employee should not be given up easily.
After all... how many employees does Qin Fang have under his command right now? And even fewer are actually useful.
They are all precious treasures.
"So she hasn't been found yet, right?"
"Hmm, not yet. But it's only a matter of time before we find her... The entrance to the secret realm is blocked. If she goes out, she will definitely be caught."
"Are the local officials not doing anything?"
"It's beyond our control."
At this point, Qin Xiaoyou pouted and complained, "Before we went out, I didn't realize that all the officials in other cities were the same as those in Iron Teeth City... But after we went out, I found that the officials in other cities acted like they were seeing an ancestor when they saw the alien race, and instantly turned into spineless cowards!"
"Even if some people are brave enough, most of them are afraid of the alien race... so they can only keep quiet."
"It's infuriating... For example, in secret realms, even if a human team finds the monster first, if an alien race comes along during the fight, they'll definitely start looting... And most human teams can only slink away in anger. I've encountered this several times! If I weren't afraid of revealing my identity, I..."
Qin Xiaoyou was furious.
Qin Fang's heart sank slightly upon hearing this.
Humanity is weak.
It seems to be more pronounced in other places.
It seems that cities like Iron Teeth City, which dare to confront foreign races head-on, are actually in the minority.
He couldn't help but think of Shen Changyuan... This guy really seems to be someone important. He even dared to go head-to-head with Xu Jin.
Unfortunately, his potential is not epic... Otherwise, if we had brought him into the Paradise faction, he would have had a much more comfortable life in Iron Fang City.
Qin Fang thought to himself, then let out a soft breath and said, "I understand. Which city are you in now? Which secret realm?"
"Jindong City, the Secret Realm of the Thousand Gorges Corridor!"
Qin Fang nodded upon hearing this... Jindong City is not exactly close to Tieya City.
The Thousand Gorges Corridor is one of the more well-known low-level secret realms, accessible to players of rank 2 and below.
This relieved him.
Below level 2... he can kill as many as come.
Even epic classes are the same.
He still has that much confidence.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "Then I'll set off for the Thousand Gorges Corridor now... Xiao You, how long can you stay here?"
Xiao You quickly replied, "I can't stay long. The team is resting right now. I'm sneaking here to deliver the message. But it'll be at most an hour... otherwise they'll get worried if they can't find me."
Xiaoyou joined another team and formed new bonds.
Qin Fang was pleased with the arrangement and nodded: "Alright, you can handle it yourself. I should be able to reach Thousand Gorges Corridor by tomorrow. I don't know the situation there yet, but there's a possibility of a major battle... You and your companions would better leave first, to avoid any trouble later."
"Okay." Xiao You nodded quickly.
Qin Fang reluctantly took out two more invitations and handed them to the two of them.
Very well, the company's reputation is completely ruined.
There was no need to give it to Qin Yue, since she was in Tieya City and could be contacted anytime.
But it definitely has to be given to Xiaoyou...
We can't favor one over the other, can we?
"You two sisters can chat for a while, I'm off now."
After saying this, Qin Fang disappeared from the spot.
Qin Xiaoyou paused for a moment, then let out a long breath before sitting down with a thud. She then looked at Qin Yue and asked, "Sister Yue, Headmistress, Tiger, are you all alright?"
Qin Yue stared blankly at the spot where Qin Fang had disappeared, only snapping back to reality upon hearing the sound.
She looked at Qin Xiaoyou, then smiled and said, "Everything's fine... it's just that Mom keeps worrying about you. When your brother went there, he asked several times if you were coming..."
"I miss Deanie Mama too, but unfortunately I'm in Jindong City right now and can't go back for the time being..." A look of longing appeared on Qin Xiaoyou's face.
Qin Fang can be considered a 'latecomer'. Qin Xiaoyou went to the orphanage when she was nine years old. At that time, she had just lost her parents and her emotions were extremely unstable. She was irritable and sensitive... It was the director who comforted Xiaoyou's heart with her kindness.
For Qin Xiaoyou, the dean... was indeed a mother figure.
“Xiao You…”
While Qin Xiaoyou was lost in thought, Qin Yue suddenly spoke up.
"Huh? Sister Yue?" Qin Xiaoyou came back to her senses and looked at Qin Yue with a puzzled expression.
"Are those monsters... scary?"
Qin Yue asked, a little nervously.
Qin Xiaoyou paused for a moment, then shook her head and laughed, "It only looks intimidating on the outside, but it's not scary at all... By the way, Sister Yue, you've also joined Paradise, which means you've also awakened an epic class? What class did you awaken?"
Qin Xiaoyou belatedly realized what was happening and hurriedly asked out of curiosity.
"Moonlight Star Spirit Envoy... Xiao Fang said it's a support class."
"Support?"
"Hmm... Shall we team up? Let me show you my stats... I've never teamed up before..."
"Alright, alright, I'll show you my panel too... Hey, Sister Yue, you can see it?!"
Qin Xiaoyou belatedly realized that Qin Yue had been 'watching' her the whole time they were talking.
He immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Yue nodded: "Yes, it's due to the passive skill of the profession... I can definitely see it now."
"That's great! That's great!!"
Qin Xiaoyou excitedly grasped Qin Yue's hand, her face beaming with excitement.
He was clearly very happy for Qin Yue.
After a long pause, she finally said, "Oh right, let's team up..."
The two sisters teamed up and looked at each other's stats.
Then Qin Xiaoyou gasped and exclaimed, "My God!! Sister Yue, what kind of amazing job is this?! A super healer?!"
She looked shocked and amazed.
Undoubtedly, Mu Yuexing's skills had somewhat frightened her.
Then she became excited, her eyes brightening: "Sister Yue, from now on, will you be our team's healer? With you... I don't even know how I'm going to die!!"
Seeing Qin Xiaoyou's exaggerated appearance, Qin Yue was stunned. She hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she didn't say that she didn't want to kill monsters.
Instead, he nodded slightly.
"Um."
"That's amazing! The milk production, the rate of increase..."
Qin Xiaoyou was still marveling.
Qin Yue smiled as well: "Xiao You's profession is also very impressive..."
"hey-hey……"
...
After leaving Upside-Down Mountain, Qin Fang selected another lucky audience member and then dialed Yu Qianqiu's number.
Naturally, I want the answer I asked yesterday.
After Yu Qianqiu answered the call, the two chatted for a few minutes before Yu Qianqiu finally said, "Director Shen said that the 'Liar's Mask' was found in the War Department's warehouse, but he doesn't know who left it or when."
"Such useful equipment... why were you given to me back then?"
Qin Fang asked the question that had been on his mind.
"This... I don't know." Yu Qianqiu shook his head again.
Qin Fang frowned... The Liar's Mask was too useful. Although it didn't provide any attribute bonuses, its ability to prevent detection was actually very useful for many people.
But that day, Chen Changyuan had Yu Qianqiu give it to him...
That's very strange.
Judging from the reactions of Xu Jin and Shuangren from the United Front Work Department this time.
Such "legendary privileges" are extremely rare, even in a core city of the Xia Kingdom like Shengjing.
I can't figure it out...
But since he couldn't get an answer, Qin Fang could only put it aside for the time being.
After chatting with Yu Qianqiu for a couple more minutes, I hung up the phone.
Then Qin Fang left Tieya City and headed directly to Jindong City.
...
When Qin Fang set off.
Jindong City, a thousand-gorged corridor.
The Thousand Gorges Corridor Secret Realm is extremely vast, containing many smaller areas.
Each area typically contains a large number of monsters and a regional boss.
The biggest difference between a secret realm and a dungeon is that... a dungeon is more like a series of mirrored worlds. A secret realm, on the other hand, is a complete yet incomplete world.
The drop rate in secret realms is generally much higher than in dungeons. The experience points gained from monsters in secret realms are also generally much higher than those from dungeon monsters.
In addition, the secret realm will also drop some valuable items and materials that cannot be obtained in the dungeon.
Take equipment as an example... In dungeons, you almost never get legendary equipment unless you go to the Abyss.
However, there is a certain probability that the boss in the secret realm can drop legendary equipment.
Although the drop rate is very low... there's still a chance, right?
In addition, the experience gained is higher than in dungeons.
Therefore, each secret realm is actually very popular.
The only problem is that... the secret realm is open to everyone.
In other words, this place is dangerous.
The danger comes not only from monsters, but also from other people...
And other races.
The Weeping Iron Canyon is an area within the Thousand Gorges Corridor Secret Realm. A crimson liquid, the color of blood, covers the mountains surrounding the entire canyon, and the air is filled with an unpleasant smell of rust.
If you dig away these rocks and soil, you'll see... underneath the soil, it's all reddish-brown iron ore.
Monsters covered in iron and stone, resembling stone creatures, roam the Weeping Iron Canyon. They are enormous but move slowly, and a constant thumping sound can be heard.
Every now and then, a beam of light would suddenly appear, and within that light, a huge mass of iron ore would emerge, then with a series of crackling sounds, it would transform into a new monster.
Gu Yiyun was hiding behind a rock in the canyon, recovering her strength.
Compared to a month ago, Gu Yiyun now has sharp eyes and a resolute expression, and has long lost the weakness and confusion she had at the beginning.
After all... she had a tough month.
Becoming a member of the park gave her a new life, and she cherishes this opportunity.
She returned to the southern city to search for her sister, but she also didn't forget what she had promised... to break the record.
This was more difficult than she had imagined.
But it's not that breaking a record is difficult... it's that getting out safely after breaking a record is very difficult.
She witnessed firsthand the commotion caused by the park owner and Xiao breaking the record for the first time.
She doesn't think she's special.
Fortunately, thanks to her caution and prudence, she would usually leave the instance and flee as soon as she broke the record.
This allowed her to escape many ambushes.
However, as her fame grew, those alien races began to anticipate her moves, almost trapping her several times.
This time... it seems there's no way to escape.
Her eyes were cold and indifferent.
"The Divine Descent Cult..."
She almost ground her teeth to powder.
Because she was certain that she had been suddenly besieged, and that the Three-Eyed Clan had suddenly surrounded the Thousand Gorges Corridor.
The one behind this must be the Divine Descent Cult!
