The man's eyes lit up, and he said with great interest, "Of course I've heard of it!"
"It is said that this Seven Star Item is extremely powerful. It was forged by several NPCs who were specially responsible for forging it over a period of eighty-one days, and the raw materials used to make it are also extremely precious."
He Huai nodded slightly, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
"Remember to settle my triple payment; I have to rush to deliver the next order."
She was able to secure a spot at tomorrow's Breakthrough Conference thanks to her high level and the three Qing Si badges... In any case, she'll be able to see the true face of the new leader of District 023 tomorrow.
If all goes well, this time breaking through the barrier might actually be successful.
......
At 10:00 AM the next day.
In the heart of District 023, a towering building rises from the ground, its metal facade reflecting a cold light in the sunlight, soaring into the clouds.
Outside the building, the area was already completely surrounded by a surging crowd. Security guards formed a human wall, trying their best to maintain order, but the crowd continued to surge and make noise like waves.
The number of on-site attendees for this conference is exceptionally limited, with only 500 available. The selection criteria are extremely stringent, primarily based on players' levels and the number of Qing Si badges they have earned. Only high-ranking players are eligible to participate.
Those who couldn't attend the meeting in person won't miss it either. The meeting will be streamed live, with the footage projected onto various large screens in Zone 023, allowing every player to witness this special moment.
Inside the building, the atmosphere was both solemn and enthusiastic, as preparations for the Breakthrough Conference were in full swing.
At the center of the site, a holographic projection device projected a 3D model of the barrier surrounding Zone 023. Robotic arms worked busily and efficiently, moving boxes of equipment to designated locations.
At the entrance, light spilled onto rows of neatly arranged equipment, some of which were inlaid with strange crystals that shimmered with an unfathomable light.
The attendees entered the venue with various thoughts and intentions.
With a smile and a clear voice, the facilitator said, "Welcome, everyone, to this significant meeting. Please enter in an orderly manner."
He Huai moved forward with the crowd, taking out his identification card from his pocket to participate in the boundary-breaking meeting.
With the staff's guidance, I successfully passed the verification and entered the venue.
My eyes were instantly drawn to the Aoshi badge on the display stand.
The seven Qing Si badges lay quietly, each containing a unique elemental power.
The first badge burns with a blazing red flame; the second is a clear, aquamarine blue; the third shimmers with emerald light; the fourth radiates a dazzling golden glow...
He Huai's eyes were filled with shock.
District 023 has existed for many years, and over time, the number of abandoned non-jurisdiction districts has now reached more than thirty.
Even so, District 023 still holds a special position that is hard to ignore.
At this moment, someone has managed to collect all seven badges and even control all the NPCs in District 023, which is simply beyond imagination.
As the last attendee took his seat, the lights in the venue dimmed, leaving only the holographic projection and the Qing Si badge radiating light.
The host, wearing a white cape, walked onto the stage.
"Everyone, we have gathered here today with only one goal—to break through the barrier that imprisons all the players in Zone 023!"
The host's voice was impassioned, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the audience: "This barrier is the masterpiece of the reversed third card. They are trying to trap us here forever, isolating us from the world, but we will never give in! Today is the day we declare war on the reversed third card!"
The crowd below the stage immediately became excited, clenching their fists and shouting in waves.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Isn't the person in charge going to show up? How can such an important occasion be without a key figure?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a lean player with sharp eyes questioning them with a puzzled expression.
The host smiled mysteriously and replied gently, "Yes, the person in charge is unable to attend this meeting due to special circumstances. However, the person in charge will be fully aware of tomorrow's boundary-breaking operation and will do their utmost to ensure its success. Are there any further questions?"
Before he could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out at the back of the hall.
A tall, imposing man with a menacing expression was wildly waving his arms.
The ground beneath their feet began to crack, and sharp rocks burst forth from the earth, piercing towards the crowd!
"You're just wasting your time! Breaking the boundary? Absolutely impossible. Stop daydreaming. This whole operation is a scam!"
The man shouted as he manipulated earth-based powers to wreak havoc.
Just as everyone was in a panic, a man dressed in a black suit and wearing white gloves quickly stepped forward.
His expression was cold and stern. He slightly raised his hand, palm facing upwards, and the rocks that had been frantically piercing the crowd instantly levitated in the air, unable to move.
Immediately afterwards, I gently clenched my fist with my five fingers.
The rocks began to slowly gather, eventually turning into a pile of fine powder that fell down in a soft rustling sound.
The troublemaker tried to resist, but found his body gradually becoming heavy, as if being crushed by a mountain. His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, where he was quickly subdued by security guards who arrived at the scene.
The atmosphere quickly returned to normal, and the host remained composed, as if the farce had never happened. "Excuse me, everyone, the meeting will now continue."
"Tomorrow, we will launch a full-scale attack on this barrier! Everyone must go all out. I believe that with the power of the Qing Si Badge, we will definitely break through and let the players outside and the culprits see the power of District 023!"
The audience was completely silent.
The next second, thunderous applause and cheers erupted.
At the same time.
The building has five underground floors.
Soft, milky-white light streamed down from the cloud-shaped chandelier, illuminating the solid wood floor and giving it a warm glow. Several light blue beanbag chairs were arranged in a circle in the center, while mugs sat on a wooden coffee table nearby.
Bula stood proudly, wearing a red robe.
[Bula]: Haha, you, Lord Bula, now have battle armor too!
Just as it was feeling smug, Yu Xiangnan suddenly reached out and picked it up.
[Bula]: !!
Bula's four short legs were flapping frantically in the air, looking like a runaway propeller, which was quite comical.
Yu Xiangnan looked at the restless Bula in his arms and sighed helplessly.
Before he could speak, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared out of thin air beside him.
[Fedalus]: The prophecy has been broken; truly, life is unpredictable...
[Fedal]: No, to be precise, this is also part of the prophecy...
Over the past six months, Fedo has remained largely unchanged, his entire form a black mist that can barely be discerned as human.
The difference is that this time, there's an angelic halo above their heads.
It's extremely strange.
