Li Diansheng returned the wooden sword to the rack and walked to the rest area.
Zhou Meng patted Li Diansheng's shoulder, his eyes full of admiration.
"Oh, right, I just passed by the headquarters and heard some good news."
Li Diansheng unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a sip.
"What good news, Brother Zhou?"
"That Wanted Criminals who robbed your Train, Li Zailong, is dead."
"None of his group are left."
"Especially that rooster-haired guy who injured you, when he was brought in, only his head was left!"
Li Diansheng held the mineral water, his face filled with shock.
After he left The Inner Realm, the second stop he docked at was You'erdan.
At that time, Dream Palace was ambushed, and riots broke out in many places.
Li Zailong and his group, who were fighting with Order, happened to encounter Li Diansheng's Train while escaping, so they seized it.
Although Li Diansheng killed a few of them, two fists were ultimately no match for four hands.
He had a deep impression of Li Zailong, who was heavily modified.
His blade could only spark when it struck him.
He was eventually severely injured by Li Zailong, and his Train was also taken.
Just as he was on his last breath, a patrol team from Order Heavenly Kingdom arrived and found him.
They brought him back for treatment.
Now that his injuries had recovered, the higher-ups, seeing his good skills, included him in this year's preliminary selection for the arrest team.
He hadn't expected to get his revenge, but his enemy had already died before him.
"Not just that, I also indirectly heard that the one who took down Li Zailong's group was a Newbie!"
"And he's in the same batch as you!"
Zhou Meng's words interrupted the dazed Li Diansheng.
"Same batch as me, a Newbie?"
"You're kidding, can a Newbie kill Li Zailong?"
"Where did you hear this news?"
Just then, a short-haired man with a scar on his face walked over.
He took the water from Li Diansheng's hand and unceremoniously drank from it.
"It came from the prosecutor in the Southern City."
"Did he just get lucky and pick up a corpse in that dangerous world?"
"It's not like that hasn't happened before."
He returned the mineral water to Li Diansheng and wiped his mouth:
"Anyway, I don't believe a Newbie can kill Li Zailong, let alone his right-hand men as well."
"Haha, I think you're just jealous, kid."
"Are you envious of him getting the bounty? It's two hundred and ten coins."
...
During lunchtime, Qi Xiao browsed the trading platform while eating.
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
Hmm? The messages are coming back so fast?
He had sent a message to Xia Yuwan before lunch.
The general content was that he had reached Level 20, unlocked the Special Module, and would arrive at You'erdan tomorrow morning.
Qi Xiao opened his private chat with Xia Yuwan.
"What a coincidence! I'm also returning to You'erdan tomorrow!"
"Brother Qi Xiao, you've leveled up so fast, that's really great."
"Just so-so."
Qi Xiao exchanged a few pleasantries.
"Are you still in the Newbie Village?"
"Yes... My legs are about to break from all the running, I'm so tired."
"But I'll be back tomorrow, hehe, see you tomorrow."
"Oh, about the bounty for Li Zailong."
"The bounty has already been issued. But because you're not in the You'erdan area chat group, the relevant staff cannot add you as a friend through the group chat."
"I've already spoken with her, and she will prioritize adding you when you arrive at You'erdan tomorrow."
So that's how it was. He had thought Order Heavenly Kingdom was just slow at doing things.
Qi Xiao replied with a thank you.
"Hehehe, it was nothing."
"Oh, and one more thing."
"Something happened at the amusement park again these past two days. The higher-ups are in a frenzy, so the Newbie meeting has been temporarily canceled."
"Everything will proceed according to the rules of previous years, Brother Qi Xiao, you need to report to the Dream Palace headquarters tomorrow."
"I'll be waiting for you at Dream Palace."
Qi Xiao replied with 'Okay' and then closed the private chat.
Amusement park?
What kind of place is that...
...
In Xia Yuwan's Train car, she looked at the light screen and stretched.
"It's a pity the mark on him has been removed."
"Otherwise, I could have directly swapped places with him once I left The Inner Realm."
She really hadn't expected that the guys from Freedom, who had tricked their way into special recruitment badges, infiltrated You'erdan, and ambushed Dream Palace, were just a smokescreen. Their real target was actually the amusement park!
How incredibly bold.
She heard that the main force attacking the amusement park this time was Torchlight Society, and they had actually allied with the people from Freedom.
Torchlight Society...
Sigh, Mother will probably be targeted by that idiot Jiangnan again because of this.
That guy just loves to bring up old matters.
Xia Yuwan sighed and reached out to close the light screen when a long string of messages poured in.
"Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan, I'm setting off."
"Are you still in The Inner Realm? When are you coming back?"
"Another day of missing you~"
"I missed you so much that I only ate half a roasted chicken for lunch today."
"I feel like I've gotten thinner from hunger, sigh."
"Xiao Wan, remember to eat well, have a good breakfast, a full lunch."
"Have a good dinner, and a full supper."
"Oh, do you eat roasted chicken? I still have half left."
Xia Yuwan was speechless. She initially wanted to ignore it but still suppressed her anger and replied:
"I'll be back tomorrow."
"What? Why didn't you tell me! Then I'll come back tomorrow too!"
"Why are you still Level 15, just like before you left?"
"If you don't level up to 20 and unlock the Special Module, how will you come back?"
"Are you missing something?"
"No, I'm not. Oh, I was so busy hoarding materials that I forgot to level up."
"I'll level up right away~"
Watching Wei Chu's avatar's level change from 15 to 16, then to 17... finally stopping at 20.
"How about that, fast enough?"
"I still have cola here, I'll transfer it to you."
"No, it seems the fizz is gone."
"Flat cola isn't fit for Xiao Wan to drink, I'll buy a new one!"
The moment Wei Chu saw Xia Yuwan, he was instantly captivated and completely fell for her.
He then began a relentless pursuit of Xia Yuwan, becoming a devoted sycophant.
This guy was a simpleton, but because of that, his special recruitment badge wasn't tricked away.
Wei Chu and Qi Xiao were the only two specially recruited Newbies in this batch who retained their badges.
And both of them were recruited by Xia Yuwan, while all the people recruited by other special recruitment officers were wiped out.
This also elevated Xia Yuwan's status within Order Heavenly Kingdom even further.
Xia Yuwan looked helpless.
She had really brought a living Yama King upon herself.
And a talkative living Yama King at that.
It really was a sin.
Oh well, who told him he had a Special Module...
Wasn't that why she gave him the special recruitment badge in the first place?
"No eating, no drinking, I'm going to sleep, don't send me any more messages!"
