Chapter 148 Secret Realm
For the next few days, District 30 enjoyed a rare period of harmony.
That noon, Meng Qingyin was struggling with what to eat for lunch when there was a sudden commotion in the group chat.
Chen Leying: "I just obtained a [Key to the Secret Realm], please keep an eye out for this location for me."
Meng Qingyin clicked on the [Key to the Secret Realm] to view the information.
[Key to the Secret Realm: 100 meters east of the fork in the road between Highways 2189 and 2190, there is a secret realm. Use the Key to open the realm; only the party possessing the Key can enter (Note: The realm lasts for 12 hours and can be entered by a party of five).]
Chen Leying: "The three of us will call two more people from the chat area to join the exploration."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "There's even a secret realm? What might be inside? Treasure?"
Mengmeng: "Okay, I'll keep an eye out. But it might be hard for the three of us to find one. How about we go to the chat area and pay other players to keep an eye out for us?"
Chen Leying: "Okay."
Then, Chen Leying sent a message in the chat area.
Chen Leying: "If any players who have driven near highways 2189 and 2190, please send me a private message. I will offer 1 silver coin as a reward."
Smiling Blue: "Wow, I can get 1 silver coin just for telling you? This money is too easy to earn!"
Chen Leying: "That's right, you can get it by messaging me privately."
Toshiha: "But I'm currently near Highway 729, which seems to be quite far from both highways."
Qian An Yi said, "Actually, highways and numbers have nothing to do with each other. Maybe your next highway will be 2189."
I am the lucky one (poor man's version): "[Location], I am currently at the intersection of highways 2189 and 2190."
Upon seeing this, Chen Leying immediately messaged him privately.
Chen Leying: "I'll give you 1 silver coin and a summoning card. Pull me up."
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "I don't want your money, and I can take you. But you have to tell me, what are you doing here?"
Chen Leying thought about it. Anyway, she was going to pull two more people from the chat area, and she had already met this fake lucky guy before. He wasn't a vicious person.
Chen Leying: "There is a secret realm nearby."
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "A secret realm? This place is covered in snow, it doesn't look like there's a secret realm here."
Chen Leying: "Stop talking nonsense, just add me. I might consider letting you join the team."
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "Okay, I'll get you right away!"
[Player "I'm a Lucky Guy (Poor Version)" is using a summon card and invites you to his side. Do you agree?]
Chen Leying agreed without hesitation.
The next moment, Chen Leying and her off-road vehicle were summoned to Lucheng.
It is the intersection of highways 2189 and 2190.
Lu Cheng looked excited and asked with a big smile, "Are you really going to take me into the secret realm?"
Chen Leying looked at him and asked, "What kind of reward can you offer?"
Lu Cheng's smile froze: "Reward? I didn't take your silver coins, and I even used a summoning card. Doesn't that count as reward?"
Chen Leying remained unmoved, saying, "These are two different things."
Lu Cheng sighed helplessly, "Alright, what do you want? By the way, I'd like to bring in one more person; I'll cover the expenses for both of them."
Chen Leying: "Okay. 10 silver coins per person, 20 silver coins for two people."
Lu Cheng looked pained. "Fine, I'll ask him if he's coming."
Chen Leying: "Whatever."
Lu Cheng turned on his wristwatch and started operating something.
He quickly took out 20 silver coins and handed them to Chen Leying: "Here, this is the cost for the two of us."
Chen Leying accepted the silver coins and used a summoning card to bring Meng Qingyin and Qin Jiu over.
At the same time, Lu Cheng also brought over his friend, "I'm unlucky."
Lu Cheng patted "I'm Unlucky" on the shoulder: "Dude, I've paid back the favor I owed you."
"I'm unlucky" held up an "OK" sign.
Chen Leying formed a team, recruited four people, and followed the guidance of the [Key to the Secret Realm] to the designated location.
Lu Cheng looked around and found that this place was no different from other places: "The entrance to the secret realm is here?"
Chen Leying did not answer, and clicked to use the [Key to the Secret Realm].
The next moment, a pale blue light gate slowly appeared in front of the five people.
At the same time, a notification sounded: [Captain Chen Leying has used the Secret Realm Key to open this secret realm.]
[Secret Realm Type: Monster Kill]
Secret Realm Rewards: ★★
Difficulty of the Secret Realm: ★★
The secret realm lasts for 6 hours.
[Enter the Secret Realm? (If you enter the Secret Realm, you will be teleported out after completing the level or 6 hours later; if you do not enter the Secret Realm, the entrance will disappear in 5 minutes.)]
This notification is visible to all team members.
Everyone has seen the information about the secret realm.
Lu Cheng frowned: "Two stars for difficulty? Is that easy or difficult? There's no reference point."
Qin Jiu: "Two stars shouldn't be too difficult, right? Besides, this secret realm is about killing monsters, and we've gained some experience fighting monsters recently, so it shouldn't be too hard."
Chen Leying glanced at Lu Cheng: "If you're scared, it's not too late to leave the team now."
I, the unlucky one, was secretly gloating. I couldn't let him suffer in front of Meng and Chen alone.
Seeing Lu Cheng being disliked now, he almost cheered—but he didn't dare.
Lu Cheng quickly explained, "I'm not afraid, I'm just thinking things through."
Meng Qingyin cut to the chase: "So what have you figured out?"
Lu Cheng: "..."
I, being an unlucky person, couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing, then hurriedly covered my mouth.
Lu Cheng glanced at him with a long, languid look.
I, being an unlucky person, responded with a look: Why did you provoke those two?
Lu Cheng stepped into the secret realm, demonstrating through his actions that he was not afraid.
Seeing this, the others followed.
The moment all five stepped into the secret realm, the gate to the secret realm slowly disappeared behind them.
[You have entered the secret realm. Please find and kill 20 Night Demon clones scattered throughout the area within 6 hours to clear the realm and receive rewards.]
Lu Cheng exclaimed, "What? A Night Demon clone? Is it the Night Demon, a monster of the night?"
Qin Jiu gritted her teeth, her face full of indignation: "Sister, I've come to take revenge."
"I'm so unlucky," I couldn't help but ask, "With our current strength, can we defeat the Night Demons? Let alone 20 of them?"
Meng Qingyin wasn't in a hurry: "It's a Night Demon clone, not the Night Demon itself."
Looking at her, I, the unlucky one, suddenly realized: "So they are just clones, and their strength is definitely not as strong as the original Night Demon?"
Meng Qingyin nodded: "It should be."
This is a secret realm, and it will definitely be challenging, but we will never let them die.
In other words, the Night Demon's clone is far weaker than the Night Demon; otherwise, this mission would have been impossible to complete.
Chen Leying agreed with her point of view, "That's right, the Night Demon's clone is not the same as the Night Demon. The question now is, how do we find the Night Demon's clone?"
As far as the eye can see, there is a forest that seems to stretch to the horizon, with lush, verdant trees that seem to conceal everything within it.
