“Oh, right, give me your [Rapid-Fire Iron Tube] too.”

Hearing Qiu Dugu's words, Fang Yue immediately clutched the [Rapid-Fire Iron Tube] nervously.

“What are you going to do?”

Qiu Dugu was a little dumbfounded.

“I’m not robbing you. This thing isn’t as valuable as the [Frost Bloom Flower]. The branch president can authorize giving it to you. The reason I want you to give it to me is so I can register it.

Most of the Alliance’s strange objects need to be recorded.

Also, you said this [Rapid-Fire Iron Tube] is out of iron pellets? After you give me the [Rapid-Fire Iron Tube], I'll hand it over to the research and development department so they can design some usable iron pellets as bullets, so this thing isn’t just for show.”

That's fine, I guess.

Fang Yue temporarily handed the [Rapid-Fire Iron Tube] to Qiu Dugu.

Next, there wasn't anything for Fang Yue to do.

Whether it was retrieving the strange object [Frost Bloom Flower] or manufacturing iron pellets for the [Rapid-Fire Iron Tube], it wasn't something he needed to worry about. He just needed to wait for the final news.

After thinking about it, Fang Yue went to find Bai Xiaoya.

He returned to the three of their room, but he didn't see Bai Xiaoya, which stunned Fang Yue.

It wasn't until he asked other people that he learned Bai Xiaoya was actually in the training room, training alone.

When Fang Yue arrived, Bai Xiaoya was covered in sweat, seeming to have already undergone intense training.

Seeing Fang Yue, Bai Xiaoya was slightly stunned. After a moment of silence, she said, “I’m not using training to numb myself, don’t misunderstand.”

“…I haven't said anything yet.”

“Your eyes were saying it. Fang Yue, I’m not as fragile as you think. I'm just becoming more and more aware of my own weakness. I want to become as strong as you! Strong enough to protect the people around me!”

…Then you’ll need a sheepskin scroll first.

As the two were talking, the door to the training room was suddenly slammed open, and a figure threw themselves into Bai Xiaoya’s arms.

“Xiaoya!! Waaah!! Xiaoya, I know what you guys went through. Cry, just cry it out. Let’s cry together. A-Ming was such a good person, and now he’s dead, waaaaah!”

The person who came was none other than Sister Yuan, who hugged Bai Xiaoya and burst into loud sobs, as if she was the one who was closest to A-Ming.

Bai Xiaoya’s emotions had already calmed down, but seeing Sister Yuan's reaction, her eyes still turned red.

“I’m okay…I’m really okay.”

“It’s okay! Don’t be shy, it’s good to cry it out! It’s good to cry out something like this! If you don’t cry, then let me cry for you, waaaaaah!” Sister Yuan was still crying loudly, tears streaming down her face, and instead, Bai Xiaoya ended up comforting her.

Seeing this situation, Fang Yue quietly retreated a little.

"Happy sheep, pretty sheep…"

Just then, Fang Yue’s recently set ringtone suddenly rang.

In such a 'sentimental' moment, such a ringtone was rather inappropriate.

Fang Yue glanced at the two embarrassedly, took out his phone, and quickly prepared to hang up.

But when he saw the name of the contact on the screen, he was stunned.

“Wu Wu?”

The person calling was Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu.

Why is this guy calling me instead of messaging me in the game?

He answered the phone.

“Night Bro!! Something bad happened!! Ink Village is done for!! Ancient Moon Village is going to be done for too, we're all going to be done for!!”

As soon as he answered the phone, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu’s piercing voice rang out.

The urgent and excited voice could even be faintly heard by Bai Xiaoya next to him through the phone.

She was stunned and immediately stood up, looking at Fang Yue.

Fang Yue was still rubbing his ears, which were stinging from the sound, his mind processing Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu’s words.

Then, his movements froze.

Coming back to his senses, Fang Yue quickly asked, “What’s going on? How is Ink Village done for? Why is Ancient Moon Village going to be done for too? What exactly happened… Wait, I'll log into the game now.”

Bai Xiaoya also frowned as she listened, while Sister Yuan looked at the two with teary eyes, confused, and asked, “Who’s on the phone? Why is A-Yue suddenly reacting so strongly? Is it his girlfriend?”

But Fang Yue and Bai Xiaoya just made a shushing gesture to her, then waited for Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu’s response.

“It’s Black Cloud! Ah, no… It’s the Uyu (Crow Rain) tribe, it’s the Uyu tribe! That Ma Ling’er led the Uyu tribe back, Tail said that Ink Village was besieged by the Uyu tribe, and even the formation was broken! The entire village is being ravaged by the Uyu tribe, houses are being destroyed everywhere, Ink Village is finished!”

The Uyu tribe?!

Fang Yue's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously exchanged a glance with Bai Xiaoya.

Bai Xiaoya knew the importance of the game.

If Fang Yue’s game character died, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Calm down, log into the game now, and tell me in detail what exactly happened!”

As Fang Yue spoke, he gave the two women a look and walked out alone.

He needed to return to his room to log into the game immediately and figure out what exactly happened.

“Right, right, log into the game, and then we’ll quickly run away!”

Run away my foot!

Listening to Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu’s words, Fang Yue’s face darkened.

With Lord Han around, there’s no need to run away. The situation should still be under control.

Without thinking too much, Fang Yue returned to his room, hung up the phone, and directly logged into the game.

…

In the game, Fang Yue was still sitting in the guardhouse. Ancient Moon Village was as peaceful and unchanged as ever.

However, when Fang Yue got up to look for Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, a figure rushed in through the door, none other than Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu.

“Night Bro! Night Bro! I’m in the game, I’m in the game. Let me tell you, didn’t Tail go out to investigate the headless corpse at the neighboring school? That’s why we haven’t been meeting up much recently.

But just now, she suddenly called me, saying that Ink Village was besieged by a black cloud. The entire black cloud was full of Uyu tribe oddities! They’re like locusts, a massive army passing through, breaking Ink Village’s ancient formation, and then destroying Ink Village! Tail was taken out of the village by Ni Dongmei before the Uyu tribe surrounded Ink Village, and then she joined up with the Jibing (Extreme Ice) Sect’s pickup team, so she wasn’t killed and managed to escape!”

What?!

Fang Yue’s pupils shrank: “The Jibing Sect personnel that Ni Dongmei called couldn’t defeat the Uyu tribe either, and couldn’t save Ink Village?”

“Couldn’t defeat them! Tail said that one of Ni Dongmei’s martial uncles even sacrificed himself and was killed by the Uyu tribe. Think about it, Ni Dongmei is an elder of the Jibing Sect, an elder’s martial uncle, that’s practically god-level strength, and he was still destroyed by the Uyu tribe. Ancient Moon Village stands no chance! Night Bro, let’s pack up and run away!”

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was a staunch advocate of running away, but Fang Yue frowned, telling her to calm down.

“What about Lord Qiba Jiu? Are the Uyu tribe so strong that even Lord Qiba Jiu can’t handle them?”

“Didn’t appear! Tail said that ever since that time, Lord Qiba Jiu has been dormant in her body and can’t be awakened. According to Lord Ni Dongmei, Tail needs to make progress in her cultivation before she can awaken Lord Qiba Jiu again.”
