In an instant, white light filled the entire office.

But from the outside, the office windows seemed as calm as before, as if some force had blocked the white light, making it undetectable to the outside world.

After a while, the white light disappeared.

Suzuki Satoru and the professor raised their hands as if they had realized something and looked at the back of their right hands.

There was a white mark engraved on it, which looked like the guild emblem of "Ainz Ooal Gown" in the game!

Seeing this familiar pattern, Suzuki Satoru couldn't help but smile and sincerely thanked Deng Yougang.

Deng Yougang nodded and said softly, "With this contract, your strength should soon surpass that of the so-called S-level awakeners, and you can act independently to build a branch."

Suzuki Satoru understood what Deng Yougang meant and quickly asked, "What about you guys?"

Deng Yougang said softly: "We need to go back to the headquarters to see what happened."

Suzuki Satoru nodded: "I understand, then leave everything over here to me!"

After that, Suzuki Satoru quickly added, “By the way, YGGDRASIL is a phenomenally popular game. At the beginning, players who were addicted to this game were all over the world. We also have players from the mainland and Europe and the United States in our guild.”

"If you want to go back to the mainland, can you help me find them?"

Deng Yougang was stunned for a moment, then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

To be honest, since the original work only focused on a small number of the forty-one players of Ainz Ooal Gown, he had never thought about this issue carefully.

Now that I think about it, it is indeed true. After all, "YGGDRASIL" is a game of extremely large scale, with an exaggerated system of more than 2,000 common and high-level professions, as well as a vast worldview that draws on the nine worlds of the world tree in Norse mythology.

With such an exaggerated scale of capital investment, it is impossible that the target player market is limited to Japan.

If Deng Yougang remembered correctly, the original novel once described a strongest wizard guild called the [Mercenary Magic Guild]. The guild had a total of one hundred full-level wizard members, and fifty of them were from the [World Disaster] profession.

The so-called [World Disaster] is a limited high-level profession with a fixed total number in the game. If you want to obtain this profession, you must kill the person who holds this profession.

In Ainz Ooal Gown, which is also a top guild, the strongest mage player Ulbert is also a [World Disaster].

Even this top limited high-level profession has at least fifty players, which shows that the player base of this game is extremely large, at least in the tens of millions.

Considering the eight million warriors in DNF, this number is not exaggerated, and may even be a little too restrained.

Therefore, those guild members that the author did not describe in detail may be players from other countries in the setting.

Thinking of this, Deng Yougang couldn't help but smile and said, "No problem, give me the list and I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Suzuki Satoru smiled and immediately asked the professor for a pen and paper and wrote down the names of the players in the guild who were not from Neon.

Deng Yougang took it and looked at it, and found that the names of these players were indeed somewhat similar to the naming style of Chinese players.

"Okay, I got it!"

Deng Yougang said this casually, and then he and Bai Lang disappeared from their sight again.

The two of them stayed there quietly for a moment before Suzuki Satoru asked cautiously, "Should we leave now?"

"Who knows?" The professor chuckled. His eyes, which had been somewhat numb to reality, were now full of longing and expectation. "Space magic... I really want to know the principles behind it!"

"We will know."

Suzuki Satoru smiled, and then asked seriously: "Who do you want to find first?"

The professor said without hesitation: "Cui Yulu and Bunu Meng, their wealth and wisdom are what we need most now."

…

…

On the other side, ten thousand meters above the sky, Bai Lang and Deng Yougang were rushing to the mainland in the heavily polluted atmosphere.

On the way, Bai Lang glanced at Deng Yougang and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, that thing should be the Lord's light ball, right?"

"And your so-called contract doesn't seem to be something your Northeastern shamans would do..."

Deng Yougang nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's not true. That contract is a simplified version of the Lord God's agent. In other words, they are now my agents."

Bai Lang curled his lips and said, "I knew you had bad intentions."

Deng Yougang shook his head: "Brother Bai, you think too much. The power in my body is mainly Qi. If I want to become their magic source, I really need to rely on the transformation power of the light ball."

"Moreover, my contract is much more conscientious than the Lord God. The agents of that guy are all backup clones he prepared for himself. They may replace their bodies or even souls at any time!"

"That's true."

Bai Lang nodded, and then hesitated and said, "But is this really okay? Suzuki Satoru should also be considered a kind of indigenous time traveler, right?"

Deng Yougang explained: "Under normal circumstances, this is the case, but now that the Earth and the other world are merging, the number of indigenous travelers will surely increase greatly in the future. If Suzuki Satoru is really considered as a potential member, then the number of people in the alliance will have to increase exponentially..."

“So I asked the boss, and he said that this situation can only be regarded as two worlds in the same universe.”

"It's like Marvel's Earth and Asgard, and DC's Human World and Heaven and Hell."

Bai Lang nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, the indigenous time travelers Ning Yi and Fan Xian who have joined the alliance have both traveled to Earth in a parallel universe. Their settings do better meet the standards of time travelers."

"But in this case, what about those worlds that can travel through each other, such as the world of Shrouding the Sky?"

Deng Yougang sighed and said, "We still need to discuss this issue further. At present, it seems that the boss means that the division should be based on the difficulty of the time travelers returning home."

"The simpler it is, the harder it is to be considered a qualified indigenous traveler..."

Bai Lang felt a bit of a headache after hearing this, and shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's leave the qualifications and standards to you and the boss to discuss. I just want to hear the result."

The two communicated via voice transmission while flying towards the mainland at a speed that exceeded the sound barrier.

Not long after, a strange breath appeared in the sky ahead.

Deng Yougang and Bai Lang stopped, restrained their breath, and looked in the direction where the breath came from in surprise.

I saw a black-haired young man in casual clothes floating in the polluted atmosphere at high altitude, with a emerald green magical glow all over his body, as if he was constantly purifying the pollution around him.

"...To be able to fly to this position, he must be an S-level awakener from China, right?"

Bai Lang and Deng Yougang exchanged a glance. The latter sensed the man's aura and said, "Based on the corresponding level of tiered magic, the magical fluctuations blooming from his body are probably not far from the third-tier magic, which means it is level 15 to 21?"

Deng Yougang shook his head and re-evaluated: "Looking at his appearance, this level is not the limit, so it should be the higher fourth level, which is about level 22 to 28."

Bai Lang said with interest: "It's already pretty good. Awakeners of this level can indeed deal with an adult frost dragon when they join forces."

"How about it, do you want to go over and chat for a while?"

Deng Yougang shook his head and said, "No need. Since the authorities are still there, just contact them directly."

Bai Lang said excitedly: "How do we contact them? Should we wait for an opportunity for a monster invasion, and then we can send down our divine soldiers from the sky to help them eliminate a powerful monster, and then contact them naturally?"

Deng Yougang looked at him speechlessly and shook his head.

"Why bother?"

As he spoke, Deng Yougang slowly raised his right hand, and a dazzling blue light burst out from the palm of his hand. Then the color of the blue light gradually deepened, and finally turned into a fist-sized black spot that seemed to be able to swallow the light.

As the saying goes, as long as saints live, thieves will never stop.

Another of the Eight Great Skills that Deng Yougang majored in, "Six Treasury Immortal Thief", is such a unique skill known as the "Saint Thief".

And when Deng Yougang practiced this unique skill to his current level, it naturally formed a magical power of his own.

"The Six-Storey Immortal Thief - Stealing the Fortune of Heaven and Earth!!"

“Buzz!!”

In an instant, invisible ripples spread rapidly in all directions with Deng Yougang as the center.

All places passed by the ripples were like being attracted by a black hole, turning into violent airflows that swept towards the center.

Looking from the higher atmosphere, the countless black fog seas covering the continent seemed to be swallowed by a sudden vortex, madly surging and collapsing towards the "micro black hole" in the center.

In just a few seconds, the black fog over Jinghai City was swept away.

But a large amount of black fog continued to surge in from all directions, covering the sky above Jinghai City as if it was endless.

Not far away in the sky, the S-level awakener who was purifying the atmosphere was startled by the violent movement. He hurriedly controlled his body to avoid being engulfed by the black fog, and then looked at the direction where the black fog was gathering with fear on his face.

“…Shit, what is that, a black hole?!”

Not only him, but also the Jinghai City below was awakened by this earth-shaking scene.

Countless citizens stood in front of their glass windows, observing the sky in amazement using various AR devices and telescopes.

In the center of Jinghai City, on top of a uniquely shaped building, three men in suits who had hurried over stood in front of the diamond-shaped crystal between the four pillars on the roof, staring at the blue light screen floating on the base with astonishment on their faces.

This thing is Jinghai City’s large spiritual energy detector.

It is said to be detecting aura, but in fact it is detecting all energy that possesses life vitality.

Almost all the detectors in ecological cities around the world use the same principle.

This is also the reason why Bai Lang and Deng Yougang were mistaken for awakened people in Neon before.

At this time, the value displayed on the blue light screen had already exceeded the highest level six, which is the S level of other countries, and even exceeded the levels seven, eight, nine and three they inferred, and left the highest level nine standards far behind.

“This…what on earth is going on?”
