"Well," the slender girl lifted her clear Black Eyes, the dark hues within intertwining and fading away, revealing a calm demeanor. "I know about the Game Pod project, so I hope to use your research to cure Ayu's genetic disease."
"Since you know about the Game Pod project, you should also be aware that the current research progress is far behind her deteriorating condition."
"Yes, I know. That's why I need to find some information in the E Zone and deal with some personal grievances. Without the identity verification from the D Zone, I can't even enter the seemingly chaotic yet strictly monitored E Zone."
After her words, Ji Bai felt a shock within him that could overturn his understanding gained from Alin's data. The girl before him was more unfathomable than he had imagined.
He said in a deep voice, "With your intelligence, you must understand how serious the consequences of these matters can be. Why come to me?"
"Because I trust you, Professor Ji Bai—no—" Her voice suddenly rose, and the determination in her Black Eyes was unwavering as she declared firmly:
"Head of the Ji Family, Mr. Ji."
"Hah—interesting."
Ji Bai's cold gaze nearly froze the figure before him. The other party did not flinch or evade; her dark Calm Black Eyes met his icy stare head-on.
"The information from the E Zone, I assume Mr. Ji has been searching for it for quite some time," Black Eyes fixed her gaze on him without blinking, as if trying to glean some clues from his unearthly face. "Just now, I had a lead, but unfortunately, I missed an opportunity today—" She paused, recalling the empty shackles from earlier, her voice cooling several degrees. "Give me some time; at most a week, and I will deliver it to you. How does that sound?"
"Your Living Conditions."
"Ensure she doesn't die."
"Deal."
The moment she stepped out of Cloud Guest Restaurant, under the glaring sunlight, she seemed to see a familiar figure.
Upon closer inspection, it really was her!
"Lian Li—"
In a moment of impulse, she called out to the Beastkin Priestess emerging from the Priest Hall. The slender Cat Tail trailed behind her, and when the soft, adorable Cat Ears turned around, a hint of confusion lingered on her face, yet a smile remained. "Who are you?"
As the figure turned, she immediately regretted her decision.
The emotions in the tavern had been too intense, and her rationality had not yet returned. In a moment of recklessness, she had called out to a familiar silhouette, the name of a companion from her past life slipping out.
Panic surged within her.
"I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else."
"Ripple, come here—" The clear voice of a man instantly petrified Yan Yan in place. In disbelief, she turned her head, and when her gaze met the familiar tear mole at the corner of his eye, a tidal wave crashed in her heart.
"Brother, wait a moment."
As soon as the girl spoke, a Human Male Priest clad in a white robe stood before Yan Yan.
"Ripple, is this your friend?"
"Ah, no—"
"I must have mistaken you for someone else."
She hurriedly answered the man's question first, lowering her gaze while clenching her fists tightly.
Mo Yan, I'm sorry.
A sentence she had never uttered in her past life would likely remain unspoken in this one as well. Because from now on, I will have no further connection with you. Only by keeping your distance from me will you be safe.
The elegant man with bamboo-like grace suppressed the confusion in his eyes and smiled with his curved brows: "Meeting is friendship; it doesn't matter if we mistake each other. I am Mo Yan, and this is my sister, Ripple."
"Silent."
"Hello there~" The girl with amber-colored eyes was filled with laughter as she tugged at her priest robe. "We're going to tackle a dungeon, are you coming? I can take you along~ Don't let my newbie appearance fool you; I've already been to the Skeleton Graveyard on Expert Level. You heard the System announcement, right? It was the one that went off yesterday about the Beichuan Team!"
"Alright, Ripples, don't drag someone into your business just to brag, is that really necessary?"
"I know, you're amazing."
The Cold Noodle Girl affirmed.
"Haha, right? Brother, what do I have to be ashamed of? It's the truth—look, everyone knows me now. Next time you have something come up last minute, the President will let me fill in for you more often, haha—I’m going to become a goddess of the priesthood!"
"I'm sorry for the trouble; my sister is just like that."
Though he said this, his smiling eyes were filled with pride and joy, even the tear mole at the corner of his eye seemed to shine a little brighter.
"It's alright, nice to meet you both," she said with a faint smile. "I have things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
"Ah, goodbye~ Yan Yan."
"Goodbye."
With that thought, a message popped up.
[Private Chat Channel] The Lord's Gift: Yan Yan, hurry to the dungeon—
It was because of those same clear amber eyes that she had saved her on the ship to Dragon Island.
[Private Chat Channel] Silent: On my way.
This time, she wouldn’t let anyone have the chance to harm those she cherished.
In her past life, after losing Ayu and becoming immersed in the game, among her companions, only Official Language Mo Yan and his sister Official Language Ripple had been with her the longest. They had completed the main quest of Ninety-Nine Rings together and later obtained the key to unlock the treasure chamber in Fengdu Ghost City. The siblings had also received an Inheritance from the Priest Hall. Eventually, it was they who inadvertently opened the ruins of Loulan Ancient City and uncovered that secret that led to calamity.
As a partner who could be trusted to have each other's backs, Mo Yan faced a tragic fate in reality, unable to save herself. Her brother was being hunted by Yan Qingyue and Qian Beixin in the game, and she felt equally powerless to help. She loathed this helplessness, this inability to do anything.
In the midnight dream, like a giant beast, it gnawed at her heart, leaving it riddled with wounds and scars.
Inside the private room of Cloud Guest Restaurant.
Two similar figures sat facing each other.
"A Bai, why didn't you come over to greet me?" A scholarly-looking man said. Upon closer inspection, he bore an uncanny resemblance to the handsome features of the man across from him.
"Alin, how's the information I asked you to find?"
"I have some leads, including the matters you wanted me to investigate."
"Oh?"
" Qin Huai's mission in Area A is to locate your teacher, Master Zhu Liang," he said. At the mention of Master Zhu Liang, the Cold Man's expression darkened.
"Back when Master Zhu Liang was researching Zero Point, he clashed with the developers and was jointly expelled from Area A by Huaguo and Dark Forces. Later, he was even assassinated. The data for the Nutrient Solution Sample No. 2 was lost along the way. You should know better than anyone about Sample One; it's the new drug you're currently testing. During a critical phase in the Game Warehouse, someone from Chinese High Command offered a hefty sum for the data on Sample No. 2 and set up a mission within Shadow Alliance. Are you aware of this?"
"I don't know. I've been away from the organization for a long time; they no longer share information with me. The only bits I can gather are sporadic: one is that the Nutrient Solution Sample No. 2 has recently appeared in E Zone, and the other is that the perfect design blueprint for Game Pod is hidden within the game." (To be continued.)
