The moment she caught the murderous intent in her eyes, Yan Yan immediately reined in her scattered thoughts and lowered her head respectfully, saying, "I have heard Master Runi mention it in passing. I was just curious and meant no offense."
"Hmph~ as if you would dare," she paused, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes. "Swish—"
"Ugh—!"
Yan Yan winced in pain, staring in shock at the red runes spreading across her wrist like flames, climbing up to her shoulder and chest. At the same time, the System's notification echoed in her ears.
System: Player Remains Silent has been afflicted by the Assassin's Curse from the Guardian of Loulan Ancient City Ruins. During this mission, any act of betrayal will result in forced character death.
Death!
Yan Yan's pupils suddenly constricted—
She bore the negative status from the first baptism of the Rebirth Pool, which meant she absolutely could not die. If she did, it would mean clearing her Player Attributes and Level. This punishment…
Was unbearable.
"For safety's sake, it's better to have an extra layer of protection, don't you think, Girl?"
Staring at her shoes, Yan Yan bit her lip, swallowing this bitter pill. Calmly, she replied, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
"Let's go."
The two walked for a long time through the vast expanse of yellow sand, which indeed gave a sense of endless golden clouds under the bright sun.
Until the golden crow sank in the west and the bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the dark night filled with twinkling stars. The Assassin finally stopped before an inconspicuous sand dune.
Yan Yan looked up at the beautiful scenery of endless yellow sand and starry skies and said lightly, "Among Zero Point's top ten scenic spots, 'Dusk and Starry Sand' is truly beautiful."
A woman's soft yet carefree voice, laced with a hint of mockery, came from behind her. "After you've seen it for ten years, a hundred years, you won't say that anymore."
As she spoke, a city of Dark Iron slowly emerged from behind the sand dunes.
The cold city gates were adorned with four large characters: "Ghost City Fengdu."
...Who would have thought that this life would bring me to Ghost City Fengdu in such a manner?
The moment she stepped through the gates, a system notification rang out.
System: Player Remains Silent has entered a hidden map. Logging out or exiting is not permitted.
Pulling up the information interface, it was indeed a dull gray.
...Communication has been disabled.
"In order to obtain the Forbidden Spell Codex, you must reach the deepest part of Ghost City, where the Ghost King 'Fire Blaze' resides... But before we deal with the Ghost King, we must eliminate the four great guardians of Ghost City: 'Chi,' 'Mei,' 'Wang,' and 'Liao.' The 'gift' I just gave you is both a lock to ensure you behave and a guarantee that you won't die here. Make good use of it."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yan pulled up her character interface and found that she indeed had an additional two-way buff: one was a curse status and the other an enhancement status.
Looking closely at the enhancement status, it surprisingly had a similar effect to an Alchemist's enchantment; however, while an Alchemist's enchantment affected weapons, this curse buff affected people.
Although her level was thirty-five, her attribute points were equivalent to those of a level fifty-five character. As long as she didn't encounter a max-level Ghost King, the four guardians at level fifty-five and the Ghost Soldiers in their fifties shouldn't pose much of a threat to her.
"Thank you, senior."
"Alright, let's get to work..."
As soon as the words left Assassin's lips, a swarm of green Will-o'-the-Wisp surrounded them.
Looking around, countless green flames surged forward in the darkness, resembling waves of green about to engulf them.
Yan Yan moved her right hand, her gaze sweeping over the sharp Eternal Bowstring. She pursed her lips, helplessly taking out the Heart Ring. When she brought it out, she never expected such a variable would occur. She quickly glanced at Assassin... and in the moment the Will-o'-the-Wisp attacked, she put on the Heart Ring.
... Temporarily used as a finger ring.
Meanwhile, Qin Huai, who had just logged in, immediately pulled up the communication interface, wanting to contact the girl. To his surprise, her name was listed as Gray, and she was offline?
That couldn't be...
Just as the overwhelmed Information Broker was busy, he suddenly received a message.
【Private Chat Channel】Qin Huai: Is she offline?
Information Broker rubbed his forehead and pulled up the system's online/offline friend notification interface. After a moment, he replied:
【Private Chat Channel】Information Broker: No. She's online.
【Private Chat Channel】Qin Huai: What about Ji Bai and Ji Lin?
【Private Chat Channel】Information Broker: Online.
The Black-Clad Thief stared thoughtfully at the Friend List, noticing the same Gray name...
With no messages coming through and unable to reach anyone, it was clear they were all hiding on the map.
After figuring it out, he pulled up the Quest Interface and stared at the tasks that would surely drive any Regular Player insane. He let out a cold smile and muttered, "Tsk... I guess I'll just have to wait while doing these quests. It's a pity about the Hidden Mission related to the Blood Desolation Cave dungeon; I originally wanted to share it with the girl." He glanced at the Mission Countdown... looks like he'll have to tackle it alone for now.
The task "Clean Up After Xu Mingmi and Wei Wuxin" was one he received after clearing the Blood Desolation Cave. The mission description was unusually vague, but his intuition told him that the Reward would be substantial.
Half an hour later, after finishing his conversation with a normal Wei Wuxin, a System notification chimed in.
System: Congratulations Player Qin Huai for completing the Hidden Mission "Clean Up After Xu Mingmi and Wei Wuxin" in the Blood Desolation Cave dungeon. You have received one Heart Ring. Since another Heart Ring has already been forcibly bound, Player Qin Huai has been forcibly bound to the Heart Ring.
"Damn! What the hell..."
Just hearing the name of this cursed ring made him uneasy... what kind of Heart Ring is this? All he wanted was to be forever united with his girl; damn it...
The Black-Clad Thief's expression darkened, anger burning in his water-like peach blossom eyes. Damn Zero Point!
Just as he frantically searched for a way to unbind it, a chime sounded—
A System announcement echoed.
System Announcement: Couple System Activated.
It's over...
Qin Huai's heart sank suddenly, feeling as if he had fallen into the deepest abyss...
Ding—
Following closely behind, another System announcement rang out.
Black-Clad Thief has now extinguished all thoughts of Zero Point!
System Announcement: Today, the red string is tied, and hearts are united. May they grow old together and become a perfect match. Congratulations to player Qin Huai and Player Remains Silent on their marriage, becoming the first couple of Zero Point. Reward Couple Skill “Telepathic Connection”.
Skill: Telepathic Connection
Attribute: Special Skill
Description: The couple can use “Telepathic Connection” to teleport to each other's location on the map. Each teleportation triggers the “Life and Death Pledge” state, allowing them to bear the damage of each other's death once.
Skill Cooldown Time: 4 hours
After hearing the System announcement, Qin Huai felt as if his heart had suddenly flown from the abyss into the hall. Within a minute, it was as if he had experienced a journey from the depths to the surface! He stood there in a rare daze, his thin lips moving but failing to utter a single word.
In the hidden map Fengdu Ghost City, Yan Yan, before the great battle, saw a bizarre System announcement that was somehow related to her—no, it was significantly related…
Because at this moment, a bright title hung above her head.
“Qin Huai’s Wife.”
“Damn!”
