Chapter 1 Restaurant in the Noble District

Inside a high-end restaurant in White River City's noble district, the prices were exorbitant, putting it well out of reach for ordinary players. Consequently, regular players rarely came here to eat or rest.

However, at this moment, three players, two women and one man, were seated in an outdoor pavilion of a restaurant called Blue Mountain Advanced Dining.

One of the female players was an enchanting sorceress, while the other was an ethereal fairy. The man beside them was also exceptionally heroic, exuding a chilling aura. His handsome face combined with his aloof demeanor, was sure to captivate countless young girls.

"Qingxue, you've been so secretive, not telling me anything. Can you finally tell me who you've called here? Who is it?" Zhao Yueru wore an expression that said, "I won't tell anyone," as she leaned close to Bai Qingxue and whispered.

"Don't rush. You've met this person before. Besides, he'll be here soon." Bai Qingxue smiled faintly, not revealing the person's name.

"I know him?" Zhao Yueru's mind raced, recalling all the experts she knew. However, considering the importance of this matter, she rejected a large number of them and finally shook her head, giving up on guessing. She couldn't imagine who else Bai Qingxue could possibly find.

If there was anyone truly powerful, it would probably be Heiyan, the number one expert in the Star-Moon Kingdom, the Asura Sword.

However, Heiyan was the Guild Leader of Zero Wing, making him clearly unsuitable for this particular matter. If Heiyan were really called, those people probably wouldn't agree, and they would find even more excuses.

Throughout God's Domain, there were countless players. To be ranked 481st in the domain filled with experts, and to have a title given by Tianji Pavilion, meant to be even stronger than Heiyan. There weren't many people like that in the entire God's Domain, let alone in the Star-Moon Kingdom.

Bai Qingxue couldn't help but smile even more when she saw Zhao Yueru surrender.

Even Zhao Yueru, who was so familiar with her, couldn't guess. The others were even less likely to guess. Probably even if the name was revealed, they wouldn't know what it meant.

The aloof man beside them couldn't help but feel curious after hearing Bai Qingxue and Zhao Yueru's conversation.

This operation had to be kept secret. It was an event that absolutely could not be known by outsiders, and it was also a first-class matter for Bai Qingxue.

Since she had abandoned other experts and invited an outsider, he completely didn't understand and was very curious. What kind of expert would be arriving?

"Xiong She, why didn't Ling She come with you?" Bai Qingxue asked the aloof young man.

The reason Ouroboros could become a hegemonic force in the virtual gaming world was not only due to the various elders, guild leaders, branch guild leaders, and elders in the guild, but also the thirty-two Executors and twelve Apostles.

These people were selected from a large group of experts in the Godslayer Army through repeated competitions. They could be said to be Ouroboros's highest combat power.

Especially the twelve Apostles, each of whom possessed a strength that even Bai Qingxue couldn't underestimate. In a one-on-one fight, she could easily lose to these true experts.

The aloof young man before her was Xiong She, one of the twelve Apostles.

Ling She was also one of the twelve Apostles, but compared to Xiong She, Ling She's strength was even higher, ranking in the upper echelons of the Apostles. He could be said to be the key to this operation.

"Ling She said he had some matters to handle and was making some preparations. He might be a little late, but Sister Bai, rest assured, Ling She is always punctual, especially since what we're doing is so important," Xiong She assured.

Bai Qingxue nodded.

Bai Qingxue had cultivated many confidants within Ouroboros, in addition to the Apostles, there were also several Executors. However, the action that was about to take place required high-end combat power. Although the Executors were also very strong, they were always a little lacking compared to the Apostles.

She couldn't afford to be careless with this operation. If it failed, it would cause irreparable results, so she had Ling She and Xiong She come, and she also invited Yefeng, just in case the plan didn't succeed, leading to failure.

Just as Bai Qingxue and the others waited for a while, a man wearing a black cloak walked over.

Zhao Yueru, who was originally bored, widened her eyes when she saw the man walking over. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Qingxue, you don't mean it's him, do you?"

"Of course, who else do you think it could be?" Bai Qingxue smiled and got up to greet the unremarkable man.

This unremarkable man was Shi Feng, who had arrived late.

Zhao Yueru had some understanding of Yefeng's strength. Although she disliked him in her heart, she had to admit that Yefeng's strength was very strong.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be deceived by Yefeng's appearance and temperament. She had suffered losses because of this, but having personally witnessed Yefeng's strength, she knew that Yefeng's strength was not below theirs. From the dungeon runs, the previous battles, and the first player to enter White River City, these were enough to prove Yefeng's strength was considerable.

However, because of Heiyan's sudden appearance, Yefeng's name had gradually been forgotten, and even Zhao Yueru had almost forgotten about this annoying person…

"Miss Bai, I wonder what you've invited me here for this time?" Shi Feng was somewhat curious about Bai Qingxue's invitation. Bai Qingxue had been secretive before, so Shi Feng didn't ask. Now that they were about to act, he needed to understand the situation. "Of course, if Miss Bai finds it difficult, just tell me what I need to know."

"Now that we're here, there's no need to keep it a secret. Actually, it's just a competition, a total of five people and five matches, best of five. I invited you to be one of the people to defeat the opponent. The reward is 20 million credits," Bai Qingxue said slowly, without any intention of concealing anything.

"Twenty million credits!" Shi Feng was shocked when he heard this.

Bai Qingxue had already paid him five million credits to get him to come, plus the twenty million, that was a total of twenty-five million credits, just for a duel? Was it really that crazy?

Many people couldn't earn a million credits in their lifetime. Bai Qingxue casually tossed out tens of millions of credits. People really couldn't be compared to each other.

Originally, Shi Feng thought he was quite rich, but now compared to Bai Qingxue, he was simply penniless…

"Of course, 20 million is just the base. The reward can be increased depending on the opponent's strength," Bai Qingxue nodded.

"Alright, I accept this condition." Shi Feng was naturally very satisfied with this reward.

Zero Wing Workshop had just started developing, and it needed money in all aspects. He couldn't always exchange gold coins for credits. These 20 million credits were like sending charcoal in the snow.

Seeing that the great expert Shi Feng had agreed, Bai Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief. The remaining things would be much easier to handle.

However, before Bai Qingxue could be happy, she suddenly received a message.

Bai Qingxue opened the message and her face immediately turned gloomy, causing everyone around her to feel a bone-chilling coldness.
