"Target is dead. Do you wish to pay 100 points of divine blood energy to be reborn at the spawn point as a low-grade Yellow Rank spirit body?"
A cold, merciless notification sounded. Jiang Yuan had been annihilated by Liu Zhaodi both times he entered the Apocalypse World. Fortunately, he had spent a thousand points of divine blood energy to permanently save his spirit body last time, otherwise it would have been another slow path of being devoured.
"Yes!" Jiang Yuan couldn't possibly choose no. Going from a novice to the Yellow Rank was too difficult, and he didn't want to repeat it again.
As for divine blood energy, he had over a million more points after returning from Seoul, and with the divine blood energy extracted from Zhu Yan's arm, the total would definitely exceed two million, so he didn't care about a hundred or two hundred.
Still without human form, Jiang Yuan, appearing in his soul form, was only fit to have the body of a small ghost. However, he got used to it after two attempts and even felt that this body form was particularly suitable for him, as if he had returned to his most primitive soul state, which gave him a more intuitive understanding of the nine attributes.
The Central City in the Apocalypse World has become much more lively recently. As Jiang Yuan walked from his spawn point, he could clearly feel the increase in the number of people. Moreover, these extra people were not weak; on the contrary, they were all very energetic, unlike ordinary people.
"It seems that some members of powerful families have also joined the Apocalypse World!"
Jiang Yuan was not surprised by this result. He had foreseen this day when he activated the Nine Dragons Formation. Everyone would want a share of the Nine Provinces' fortune. If he truly became the chosen one, he would become the uncrowned king of the entire China.
"Zhongzhou City, I, Jiang Yuan, have returned!"
As Jiang Yuan walked to the door, he felt a strong sense of ambition; his talent would be best displayed in this place.
"Tsk tsk, it's been more than ten days since I last saw you. I thought you little ghost had been beaten into submission, but I didn't expect you to still dare to come to Zhongzhou City!"
Jiang Yuan had only taken a few steps when he was suddenly surrounded by onlookers, and this time the onlookers were a group of beautiful women, one of whom was particularly powerful, with faint attribute rules beginning to appear on her body.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yuan recognized the woman in the lead; he thought he had met her once before in Zhongzhou City.
The woman crossed her arms and looked at Jiang Yuan with amusement, circling him once with interest before asking curiously, "You're already a Yellow-Rank Spirit Body, why don't you show your human form yet?"
Jiang Yuan was speechless. "Do you think I wanted this?"
"You didn't do this on purpose, did you? There are a lot of cunning and treacherous men these days who deliberately disguise themselves as harmless, cute pets just to get close to innocent girls!" The sexy woman looked at Jiang Yuan suspiciously. In her memory, this little ghost was always kicked out for harassing women.
"Flower Girl, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Yuan was sensed by Liu Zhaodi when he entered the Apocalypse World, so she is currently waiting at the gate of Zhongzhou City. However, it seems that the situation is not good, as Hua Niang and the others have gotten there first.
"Blood Rose, you've finished your match in the arena? It's rare to see you wandering out of the city!" Flower Girl was also surprised to see Blood Rose, because Blood Rose would definitely not be here at this time.
"We've lost two games in a row today. It would be too embarrassing to keep playing like this!" Liu Zhaodi said with a wry smile.
"Lost again?" Hua Niang was slightly surprised.
Jiang Yuan keenly noticed the word "again," which clearly indicated that Liu Zhaodi had not only lost today, but must have lost a few days ago as well.
"Don't even mention it, it's such a downer!"
After Liu Zhaodi finished speaking, she walked up to Jiang Yuan and took him away before Hua Niang and the others could react.
"Hey, why did you take him away?" Hua Niang came to her senses and the two of them were gone.
Liu Zhaodi offered no explanation and led Jiang Yuan quickly into a building that resembled a bar.
"What would you like to drink?" Liu Zhaodi asked, resting her chin on her left hand and turning her head to the side.
"There are things like this in the Apocalypse World?" Jiang Yuan was immediately struck by the novelty of the Apocalypse World when he saw the bar.
He could only marvel at the peculiarity of the battlefield rules; to make a virtual world so realistic was something only a god could achieve.
"All the wines here are made from attributes, like this one!"
Liu Zhaodi gently tapped the glass with the ring on her finger and said with a smile, "The combination of the cool water attribute and the corroded metal attribute makes it called Deep Sea Ice Peak. One cup of this wine is equivalent to all the insights and understandings of a Spirit Realm Awakener who has just begun to explore the realm."
"That's incredible!" Jiang Yuan leaned closer to take a look; he really hadn't realized that this glass of wine contained such a great deal of energy.
"Give it a try!"
Liu Zhaodi pressed the bottom of the glass and pushed the Deep Sea Ice Blade, which looked like a cocktail, towards her.
"How could I refuse an invitation from a beautiful woman!"
Jiang Yuan stretched out his fingerless hand, picked up the wine, and downed it in one gulp with great bravado.
The moment he drank it, he felt as if countless knives were slicing through his throat. The sharpness was so intense it felt like it was tearing his entire esophagus apart. After the metallic sensation, what followed was the freezing cold of water that had frozen thousands of miles away. The gentleness of the water completely disappeared in this cup of wine, leaving only the icy edge that rivaled the metallic sensation.
"call!"
Jiang Yuan exhaled heavily, his entire being enveloped by the attributes of metal and water.
"My sister came to see me; she wanted to bury some of her memories." Liu Zhaodi tapped the table rhythmically with her index and middle fingers while casually uttering nonsensical words.
However, Jiang Yuan heard these words in a completely different way.
"Why would she want to bury her memories and come to you?" Jiang Yuan felt slightly drunk, a feeling of exhaustion caused by the torment of his soul by the intense state of mind.
“Because that memory is closely connected to her three souls and seven spirits, a guide is needed to extract the memory separately. I left a deep mark in my sister’s memory, so she came to me and promised to let me take away one of my lover’s keepsakes after it was done!” Liu Zhaodi explained the whole story. She sighed, “She knew I wouldn’t refuse, because this was my wish before!”
