Chapter 395 The Locked Notebook
Early the next morning, Qin Feng and Qingfeng set off.
The death of Chen Sha and the betrayal by the Ming and Qing dynasties dealt a heavy blow to Li Yingying, and she was depressed all day long.
Worried about his daughter, Li's father moved with Li Yingying to a village far away.
On the day Li Yingying left, Qin Feng and Qingfeng both went to see her off. Li Yingying had also told them her address, so the two of them set off early in the morning.
Meng Qingyin planned to continue clearing the Tower of Trials.
No one knows how tall this magic tower is. Meng Qingyin and her group of five have already reached the 70th floor, but it still feels like they're never going to reach it.
Just as he was about to send a message to Chen Leying and the others, Zhang Yan's message came first: "Lin Qian has brought important news, come to me immediately!"
Meng Qingyin didn't delay and immediately teleported to Zhang Yan's side.
Lin Qian was not surprised by her arrival. She said, "I know who Lear found. It's a player from the American server, nicknamed Bill."
Bill?
Meng Qingyin felt that the nickname was familiar.
A moment later, she remembered.
She had overheard the animals discussing this name in the management group; it seemed to be a player who killed without hesitation.
Zhang Yan was very excited: "Do you know which district it is? I'll go find him first!"
Lin Qian shook her head, her tone very serious: "I don't know about that, but... I advise you not to act rashly."
Zhang Yan asked, puzzled, "Why? We have to find those people before Lear."
Lin Qian explained, "This Bill is a complete serial killer. According to Lear, he is the one who inherited 'evil'."
Zhang Yan looked at Meng Qingyin in shock: "There really is someone who inherited that man's 'evil'!"
Unexpectedly, Meng Qingyin's words came true.
Lin Qian sighed: "This Bill is like a killing machine. All he cares about is killing. I'm afraid he's not interested in cooperating with us. Winning him over won't be a simple matter."
Zhang Yan: "So how did Lear win him over?"
Lin Qian shrugged: "I don't know about that."
"Then let's just ignore Bill for now?" Zhang Yan said. "That way, there will only be one person left."
That is, the most handsome man among the five.
He searched for that man at the time, but to no avail.
I wonder how things are going with Lear.
Lear's progress is on par with theirs; Lear is two people short, and they are two people short as well.
But Lear knew more inside information than they did, which put them at a significant disadvantage.
Lin Qian added, "Moreover, it seems that Lear has already noticed Zhao Lan."
Meng Qingyin's heart sank; this was not good news.
Zhang Yan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "We absolutely cannot let Li Er find Zhao Lan! If she finds Zhao Lan, we will be at a complete disadvantage."
Seeing his anxiety, Meng Qingyin said, "Calm down first. Even if Lear finds Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan is on our side. There are three people in our camp, while even if Lear persuades Bill and the last person, there are only two of them! In terms of numbers, we have the advantage!"
Lin Qian nodded: "Yes, Mengmeng is right. In terms of numbers, we have the advantage. And we might even find that last person first."
Zhang Yan was completely relieved: "Yes, now all we need to do is focus on finding that person."
He looked at Meng Qingyin and said, "You're already overwhelmed with your own problems, so leave the finding of people to me."
He was referring to the three-pointed knife.
Mentioning this, Meng Qingyin wasn't anxious at all. "Right now, only you have the ability to find people. Thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Yan lowered his head, feeling somewhat guilty. "It was originally my own business, so it's nothing for me to suffer a little. But dragging you into this is an undeserved disaster for you."
Meng Qingyin: "Stop being emo, this isn't like you."
Zhang Yan: "..." This is like casting pearls before swine.
Lin Qian smiled, delivered the message to her, and then left.
Zhang Yan went to other districts to look for people, while Meng Qingyin continued to farm towers.
For the next three days, Meng Qingyin and her group of five spent their days grinding through the tower. Although the monsters that followed were not easy to deal with, the five of them managed to clear the tower without any major incidents, reaching the 82nd floor in three days.
That evening, Meng Qingyin returned to the train and found that Qin Feng and Qingfeng had returned.
"Have you finished your business?" Meng Qingyin asked.
"Yes, it's done," Qin Feng nodded, taking out a notebook. "This was given to us by Yingying."
The notebook has a password, and judging from the cover, it's quite old.
"What is it?" Meng Qingyin asked curiously.
Qin Feng gently stroked the diary, his tone nostalgic: "It was given to her by Ming Qing."
If she hadn't gone to see Li Yingying this time, she would never have known that Ming Qing had seen Li Yingying off before she moved and had given her a notebook.
Meng Qingyin took the notebook, somewhat confused. "Since it's for you, I don't need to look at it, right?"
Qin Feng: "Some of the contents here record the Three-Pointed Knife, which is from the Ming and Qing dynasty memoir 'The Pagoda,' and may be enlightening for our research."
She flipped through a few pages of her notebook, pointed to the text, and said, "It's here."
Meng Qingyin stared intently at it.
The handwriting in the notebook is neat and legible, showing the writer's care in recording these contents.
The three-pointed blade can absorb demonic energy. When it absorbs enough, it becomes invincible, unstoppable. However, all great power comes with a backlash; the user can be severely harmed by the demonic energy if they are not careful.
The power of the Trident Blade originates from the demonic energy within the Tower of Babel; the purer the demonic energy, the greater its power.
There is another line of annotation at the end, with the sentence "The purer the demonic energy, the stronger its power" highlighted.
The annotation reads: "How can I obtain pure demonic energy? If I infuse the Trident with turbid demonic energy, can it withstand foreign life? I have no choice but to infuse the Trident with turbid demonic energy."
Upon seeing this, Meng Qingyin had a flash of inspiration.
Inhaling too much turbid demonic energy is harmful to a player's health.
The power of the Tri-pointed Blade depends on the purity of the demonic energy. If the Tri-pointed Blade is infused with pure demonic energy, will its backlash be reduced or even disappear?
Perhaps we could try this approach!
She immediately ran out and told Li the blacksmith her idea.
Li the blacksmith had no other choice, "Perhaps this method is worth a try."
This is the last resort.
“However, this three-pointed dagger has already absorbed a large amount of turbid demonic energy. Even if we infuse it with pure demonic energy, the turbid substances will still remain,” said Li the blacksmith.
