CHAPTER 188: CHAPTER 169 LIN YI’S REQUEST: DEMON MASTER

"Do you think Brother Feng will be alright?"

Wang Sijie said with a worried expression.

At this moment, around Wang Sijie, aside from the slightly worried look on Fang Zhengrong’s face,

neither Ouyang Hao nor Zhan Tianpeng, nor Guo Shaojie showed any sign of concern.

Seeing Wang Sijie’s worried look, Ouyang Hao comforted him:

"I’ll tell you sometime what Ancient Martial Arts really is."

Speaking of this, Ouyang Hao himself looked hopeful:

"Once you understand what Ancient Martial Arts is, you won’t worry about Brother Feng like this anymore."

Hearing this, Wang Sijie looked towards the distant night scenery, half understanding, but his worries weren’t eased by what Ouyang Hao said.

Instead, Wang Sijie started to feel guilty for not being able to help Lin Yi.

Reality is not like a game.

In the game, when transformed into Red Eyes, I could charge into battle for Lin Yi without hesitation.

But in reality?

Wang Sijie looked at his hands, no different from an average person, weak and powerless, filled with a sense of defeat.

Just then, Lin Yi walked out from a reed field.

Seeing Lin Yi unharmed, Ouyang Hao was overjoyed:

"I told you the boss would be fine, see, isn’t he perfectly alright."

But in Qi Gang’s heart, there was an unrelenting calm.

Glancing at the small hole on the ground caused by a sniper bullet, Qi Gang then turned his gaze to the smiling Lin Yi.

In such a short time, Qi Gang had found his own stupidity amusing countless times.

But witnessing a miracle once again, this amusement seemed so ridiculous.

"Since everything’s fine, I’ll take my leave first."

Qi Gang cupped his hands towards Lin Yi.

But Lin Yi didn’t pay this person any mind, not even sparing him a glance, rather he said to Ouyang Hao and the others:

"It’s all resolved, let’s go."

Guo Shaojie immediately said:

"I’ll go start the car."

And Zhan Tianpeng also headed towards his own vehicle.

Seeing Zhan Tianpeng get into the car, the four girls who had been on edge finally let out a sigh of relief.

Mu Lingxue asked:

"Is everything resolved?"

"Yes,"

Zhan Tianpeng briefly recounted the process:

"It’s all good now."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinying and the other three girls were truly relieved.

They had actually seen everything that happened over there clearly from their car.

The reason they stayed inside was because they knew their own limitations, not wanting to become burdens.

After all, in that kind of situation, Zhang Xinying and the others getting out of the car would have been of no help, they might even become a hindrance.

But fortunately, it was all over.

Perhaps at this time, only the girl Zixin watching cartoons with gusto could laugh heartily over there.

With matters settled, the group followed their original plan and headed to one of the most bustling spots in Binhai City Center: Binhai Night Market.

Though this visit seemed different, perhaps because among Mu Lingxue and others were unexpected extra figures, and an earnest spender eager to pay the bills.

This outing turned out to be plenty of fun for everyone.

The group basically ate their way from one end of the street to the other.

The men all ended up carrying various trinkets the women had bought.

The group wandered the night market until nearly ten o’clock, reluctantly heading home.

After all, there were important things to do the next day, and to be in the best state, they didn’t dare to stay out too late.

Due to time zone differences, it’s six o’clock at the He Clan, which is five o’clock in Hua Country.

As a precaution, they all agreed to log on at four in the morning the next day to prepare ahead of time.

A night without words, at 4 a.m. the next day

Lin Yi and the others logged into the game at the appointed time.

When Lin Yi logged in, Shengshi Drunkard, his two companions, and Hojo Takeshi were already waiting there.

Seeing everyone, Hojo Takeshi came up with a smile and said:

"Good morning, everyone. Did you rest well last night?"

Lin Yi smiled,

"It was alright."

Not wanting to waste words, Lin Yi went straight to the point:

"Let’s cut the chitchat and just tell me today’s plan."

"And regarding the Cyclops, how is the investigation going?"

Seeing Lin Yi so direct, Hojo Takeshi didn’t bother with pleasantries, laying out his plan:

"Not far from here, there’s an old temple called Tianmu Temple."

"Ordinarily, it’s not open to outsiders, but when the Divine Attendant refreshes, we can teleport inside through the outside Teleportation Array."

"If someone dies inside, they are teleported out, unable to enter again."

Then Hojo Takeshi stated the key point:

"Once everyone is inside, enter from behind to avoid being noticed beforehand."

"When you come in, I’ll immediately find you, and together we’ll clear out the other players."

"When that time comes, achieving the first kill of this Divine Attendant will be a piece of cake for me."

Finally, Hojo Takeshi said to Lin Yi seriously:

"I’ve already gathered information on the Cyclops, but I’ll reveal it only after you help me get the first kill this time."

"Is that OK?"

What else could Lin Yi say at this point? He could only agree:

"Everything you’ve said is fine, but I have one requirement."

Hojo Takeshi was taken aback.

He didn’t expect Lin Yi to make a demand. But considering these people were about to be his pawns, Hojo Takeshi was curious about Lin Yi’s requirement.

Hojo Takeshi, after his surprise, continued:

"Go ahead and tell me your requirement."

This time, Shengshi Drunkard and Tian Ci also looked at Lin Yi, curious about his request.

Lin Yi said:

"A few days ago, I heard online that there’s a profession here called Demon Master, is that right?"

Hojo Takeshi was surprised that Lin Yi knew about Demon Masters, though he wasn’t too puzzled.

What puzzled Hojo Takeshi was why Lin Yi suddenly mentioned this profession.

Demon Master is a very niche profession in the He Clan, without equal.

Ever seen a Summoner’s Demon disobey, even possibly turning on its own master?

The Demons summoned by Demon Masters are such odd entities.

As a Demon Master, if you cannot control your own summoned Demons, what use is the profession?

Hence, very few He Clan players opt for Demon Master.

Hojo Takeshi didn’t understand why Lin Yi was bringing up this profession now.

Hojo Takeshi asked:

"What’s up?"

Lin Yi directly made his request: "I need at least one Demon Master to act with us."

This request was crucial to the success of this matter, so Lin Yi naturally felt a bit nervous when he asked.

However, to avoid arousing suspicion in Hojo Takeshi, Lin Yi maintained a facade of calmness.

Hojo Takeshi was momentarily stunned by the request: What kind of request is this? Are they planning a suicide mission?

In the next moment, perhaps thinking of something amusing, Hojo Takeshi feigned generosity:

"One won’t be enough; we have three Demon Masters in our club, all yours."

"Thanks a lot!"

Watching Hojo Takeshi’s meaningful smile, Lin Yi also laughed happily:

Laugh all you want.

After today, Lin Yi guarantees that this kid won’t be able to laugh like this for a very long time.

......

Today’s update is over.
