Huang Xueyi suddenly stood up.
His face was flushed red, and his eyes flickered with bloodthirsty light.
"You old geezers, shut your mouths! I won't lose..."
After speaking, he directly shut down the display screen in front of him.
And on the other side of the video.
Various shareholders scattered across countless locations worldwide.
They were stunned for a moment. No one had ever dared to speak to them like this.
They were all original shareholders of the Huang Corporation.
The reason why the Huang Corporation was so powerful was precisely because of their support.
It was their support that gave the Huang Corporation its immense financial power.
Now, the future leader of the Huang Corporation had addressed them as "my old man" and called them "old geezers."
This filled them with a mixture of indignation and shock.
Among the people in the video, the only one who remained silent was Huang Xueyi's father.
He was also the current helmsman of the Huang Corporation.
From the very beginning, he had been calmly observing everything.
He neither tried to dissuade nor criticize.
However, within the video, this old man kept scanning his surroundings.
The glint in his eyes was even more intense than Huang Xueyi's.
If Huang Xueyi was a jackal, then this old man was an old fox!
He wore a gentle smile on his face,
But no one knew what thoughts churned in his heart.
...
In the Heavenly Dao world, after shutting off the screen, Huang Xueyi's eyes turned bloodshot, like a lustful lion.
"Chu Tian... you deserve to die... you deserve to die..." he hissed in a low voice.
He blamed everything on Chu Tian.
"Shadow Phantom..." Huang Xueyi turned his head slightly.
"Master!" A figure resembling a girl of eleven or twelve years old emerged from the shadows.
From being transparent, her body gradually materialized.
She was a female rogue player!
"Find... find him for me, and everyone around him. Leave no one alive..."
Huang Xueyi, his eyes red, his voice almost squeezed through his gritted teeth.
"Yes..." The little girl lowered her head.
Her body faded...
This fading wasn't about disappearing from sight.
It was about logging off!
...
In a dark space.
A virtual pod opened.
A petite, naked body appeared within.
She slowly opened her eyes.
Her delicate figure had developed prematurely, far surpassing many young girls.
A pair of pigtails made her look exceptionally cute.
Her slender feet stepped out of the virtual pod.
She grabbed a set of clothes from the side and put them on.
Her snow-white skin was instantly hidden.
"To think she considers herself the master... speaking to me with such an attitude. I'll tolerate you for now. When the elder decides you're no longer useful, I'll be the first to sever your head!"
Her clear voice, crisp and pure,
Spoke of murder so casually.
No one could imagine such words coming from such a young girl.
This little girl was the Shadow Phantom, mentioned by Huang Xueyi.
After saying this, she tilted her head and murmured softly.
"Master said, if that Chu Tian can be recruited, try to recruit him. I think he's quite good, more reliable than this big yellow dog.
Hmm... I'll go meet him. I'm actually his loyal fan!
If I had known earlier... I should have played a Druid too!"
At this point, Shadow Phantom blushed and became excited.
She was in a state of fanatical obsession, like a starstruck admirer.
After saying this, her body slowly faded into the darkness.
As if she had brought her stealth skill from the Heavenly Dao world into reality.
...
In Ni Shen City, it was quiet.
The flags of the entire fortress city now fluttered with the emblem of the Ni Shen Alliance.
The building that originally housed the commander had also become the Ni Shen Alliance's headquarters.
From now on, it would be the lifeline of the fortress and the lifeline of the Ni Shen Alliance.
As long as it existed, the Ni Shen Alliance would exist.
If it fell, the Ni Shen Alliance would disband.
At this moment, only one person remained in the city.
It was Qi Xi, who had not even reached level ten.
Chu Tian had entrusted the vast fortress city to her.
Chu Tian, along with Luo Luo, had left half an hour ago.
Qi Xi gazed at everything before her, feeling as if she were in a dream.
Moments ago, when the system notification appeared, Qi Xi's heart had nearly leaped out of her chest.
Then Luo Luo had come to her and led her into the city.
She had been in a daze, directly handing over the guild headquarters permissions.
Global announcements had rained down, one after another.
Even with her strong businesswoman's mindset, she couldn't fully process it immediately.
Conversely, Chu Tian had remained unfazed.
It was as if all of this was well within his control.
Qi Xi looked in the direction Chu Tian had left.
Her gaze gradually calmed, becoming serene.
Finally, a hint of fanaticism emerged.
Along with a surge of excitement.
Most importantly, she felt fortunate... fortunate that her husband, Gao Kai, was following Chu Tian.
This young, yet enigmatic man.
How much potential remained un unleashed?
...
"Brother, aren't we going to help Brother Lei Zi and the others?"
Luo Luo stood on Chu Tian's back, who had transformed into a giant eagle, the fierce wind whipping her hair.
She noticed that Chu Tian's flight path was not directly south.
But rather, it was deviating southwest.
"We will help, of course. But just the two of us going there won't be of much use. Let's go somewhere to get some things first!"
Chu Tian said to Luo Luo.
Simultaneously, he kept opening the map in the system and adjusting their direction.
Soon, the sky gradually darkened.
"Brother, where is this?" Luo Luo had never been to this area before.
"Plague Town! Your reputation isn't high enough, so don't go in. Wait for me here!" Chu Tian landed outside the town.
"Oh..." Luo Luo curiously glanced towards the town.
Seeing that all the NPCs inside had red and yellow names, she shivered.
"Okay!" Chu Tian nodded, turned, and walked inside.
Plague Town, a place of unique existence.
Chu Tian had once spent a considerable amount of time grinding reputation here to purchase items.
The Flaming Storm inscription scroll he had previously acquired was also bought from here.
In essence, this town was akin to a black market.
The prices were exorbitant.
But it also had an abundance of high-quality goods.
Due to reputation restrictions, many players had yet to discover the benefits here.
Furthermore, the monsters in the Plague lands were particularly disgusting and unsuitable for leveling.
As mentioned before, the common creatures here were giant scorpions.
The scorpions' poison was permanent. Unless one drank an antidote potion, the only way to cure the scorpion venom was by dying once.
This factor alone deterred players from venturing here.
Normally, players were reluctant to even consume healing potions while leveling.
They would sit down and eat bread to recover their health after defeating a monster.
Here, however, they would need to consume an antidote potion after defeating a single monster.
Who could afford this?
Moreover, the experience gained from the monsters was no more than in other locations.
Therefore, some people who had come here previously couldn't endure fighting one or two monsters.
They fled immediately and even posted about the place on the official website.
As a result, players who saw this information lost all interest.
No one came here to kill monsters and grind reputation.
