"Also, regarding the [Dragon Mu Totem Fragment]..."
Yu Xiangnan paused for a moment, then said, "Because you've been searching for this item, I've also conducted a thorough investigation on my own. What I can confirm is that the [Dragon Totem Fragment] is a special item left behind by the second reversed position from the previous tournament, attracting countless players to covet it. Its function is indeed to help players return to the real world, but no player has been able to prove this."
"These are the clues I have so far."
Ji Fu listened attentively and nodded slightly: "Okay, thank you for the clues you provided. Ruins Star, White Cloud Star, and non-jurisdiction areas... I will start from these places, and maybe I can find more clues about the players on Ruins Star and the [Dragon Mu Totem Fragment]."
He looked down at the shattered crystal fragments scattered on the ground, then his gaze fell again on the [Dragon Totem Fragment (Northeast Position)] on the table, which emitted a mysterious, eerie light.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Fu suddenly suggested, "How about I entrust this [Dragon Mu Totem Fragment] to you for safekeeping?"
"Didn't those two say that as long as these fragments aren't pieced together, they won't cause any big trouble? Now that we know this piece is in the northeast, there might be four, eight, or even more pieces in total."
"?!"
Yu Xiangnan's eyes widened.
Just now, she was weighing the pros and cons in her mind: should she remain still and wait for a more suitable opportunity, or should she find a seemingly reasonable excuse to make a deal with Ji Fu in order to obtain this [Dragon Mu Totem Fragment]?
Despite all her calculations, she never expected Ji Fu to so readily and decisively offer to hand over the fragments to her.
Yu Xiangnan asked him incredulously, "Are you sure?"
Ji Fu stared firmly at Yu Xiangnan and replied, "I'm sure. With such a big incident, the special operations team is facing numerous problems and is very unsafe. After thinking it over, I think giving this item to you is the safest decision."
"However, if you have the fragments, it might cause more trouble, so you'd better think it through."
Yu Xiangnan forced a smile and muttered to himself, "A little trouble won't make a difference."
She reached out and took the Dragon Mu Totem fragment, promising Ji Fu, "Don't worry, I will take good care of it. As long as I'm alive, I will never let this fragment fall into the hands of players from the Ruins Star."
......
Yu Xiangnan returned to the area and began searching for information about District 023 again.
After much thought, she became increasingly convinced that what Luo Pin was desperately searching for was most likely "Aeonalloy." Similarly, this special item was very likely the source of the third reversed position's pursuit of Luo Pin.
As for the exact connection between this special item and the Dragon Totem, and the intricate relationships between the Ruins Star, the Moon Fera Star, and the Eight Reversed Cardinal Signs, it is impossible to unravel these questions based solely on the information currently available.
Only by gathering more clues can we uncover the hidden truth behind it.
————
[Area 023]
Description: Unknown
(Entry requirements: Level ≥ 72, Strength ≥ 800, Spirit > 600)
————
The strength and mental power attributes meet the requirements, but the level is not.
Yu Xiangnan casually collected the experience points produced by the [Golden Warrior Statue of Experience Points], but even so, he was still quite far from level 72.
The usual way to gain experience is to wait for the next survival dungeon to open, which takes anywhere from 20 to 30 days.
We simply can't wait that long.
Yu Xiangnan's brain was racing, trying to figure out a way to gain experience points more quickly, besides the survival dungeon.
After some thought, she came up with two directions: one was special dungeons such as experience dungeons and reward dungeons; the other was... hidden gems and honest little shops.
Although running a shop is mainly to earn Journey Points, the last time she helped Luo Pin sell items on Shui Mu Xing, in addition to receiving a share of the profits, she unexpectedly gained tens of thousands of experience points. At that time, her level was low, and she leveled up two or three times in a row.
Since that's the case, why not check out the small shop first? If all else fails, then go get the reward dungeon.
Yu Xiangnan entered the hidden gem of a small, conscientious shop. Before he could even take a step, a red notification light suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Urgent Notice! It has been detected that your store has been established for an extremely long time; therefore, you are entitled to VVVIP top-tier privileges!]
[Our store has been inactive for a long time. Do you want to activate the "One Step Ahead" exclusive right and directly enter the super-fast track? No long wait, instant access!]
On the screen in front of me, the two options, "Yes" and "No," are clearly displayed.
VVVIP? Fast track?
Simply put, doesn't this mean you can cut in line?
This shop is amazing?!
Shocked, Yu Xiangnan quickly pressed "Yes," and with a "beep," a detailed list of store queues appeared before his eyes.
It turns out that besides directly serving as a limited-time shop for players to enter and purchase items, there are many other ways to sell them.
For example, instead of teleporting players to their own shops, players could bring their shops and themselves directly into the survival instance, opening shops within the instance to attract players to make purchases.
These two methods may seem similar, but they are actually quite different. The former involves teleporting players from the survival instance to the shop, completing the transaction, and then automatically teleporting them back; the latter requires the player to venture deep into the instance and interact with players up close. However, while this method of selling deep into the instance is more complex and carries higher risks, the rewards are equally substantial.
In addition to obtaining a large number of Journey Points, you can also gain a considerable amount of experience points and even have the opportunity to choose your rewards first.
It looks pretty good...
Without hesitation, Yu Xiangnan decisively chose to cut in line, allowing his shop to directly join the queue for this type of business model.
In an instant, a system notification sounded, and the screen clearly displayed that the shop had been successfully booked, the time was set for 1 pm tomorrow, the location was the survival instance "Secrets Hidden in the Sea" on Water Star, and it would last for three whole days.
As expected of VVVIP top-level privileges!
Before I could even take a closer look, a new notification popped up.
[Prompt]: The store is currently without any staff. Do you want to recruit staff?
【whether】
Upon seeing the notification, Yu Xiangnan was slightly taken aback. The scene of Luo Pin deceiving him with sweet words, only for him to steal a lot of good things, flashed through his mind.
With that in mind, she pressed the "No" button without hesitation.
Forget it. Thinking back to how Luo Pin tricked and swindled me into coming here, and I ended up taking all the good stuff, I feel like hiring a shop assistant would only make things worse.
