Chapter 164: Traps in Front of the Beginner Village
The warehouse is essentially a private space, but it cannot be carried around. However, it seems to exist simultaneously at various gathering points.
For example, if you store items in the warehouse of the Beginner Village, you can retrieve those items from the warehouse in a city later on.
It’s unclear whether this is some kind of spatial transfer or another technique; it simply feels very magical.
In addition to the warehouse, there is also a personal warehouse. This aspect wasn't detailed in the promotional material, but since it’s called personal, it likely means a space where you can store and retrieve items at any time.
“Please disembark at King’s Thirty-One Beginner Village.”
“New players of King’s Number One Beginner Village, please get off.”
To be honest, before arriving at Yin Yang City, Lian Yun had a rough idea of what to expect. However, once he entered Yin Yang City, he felt that it was quite different from his imagination. When he heard the announcement and looked out the window, he was even more shocked.
Initially, in Lian Yun's perception, Yin Yang was a place filled with disputes and chaos; therefore, he expected the atmosphere of Yin Yang City to be explosive, restless, or gloomy and eerie.
However, as the train entered Yin Yang City, Lian Yun felt an inexplicable sense of tranquility. Outside the window were sprawling green plants, completely contrasting with his imagined desolation and barrenness.
Although he couldn't smell the outside air, the deep green plants still gave off a refreshing and pleasant vibe.
If he didn’t know this was Yin Yang City, many would likely entertain thoughts of spending their lives here.
Yet such an environment hadn’t been mentioned in the promotions for Yin Yang City; it was uncertain whether this was a pleasant surprise or something terrifying.
Just as Lian Yun was captivated by the scenery, two terrified and desperate wails suddenly echoed through the carriage: “No, no, no~~ We don’t want to get off! We~~ Ah~~~”
Lian Yun looked up to see a person and a ghost enveloped in two beams of white light before vanishing into thin air within the carriage.
In an instant, the entire train car was filled with a heavy, oppressive atmosphere, a mix of fear and schadenfreude.
Lian Yun immediately became cautious, refraining from looking outside. Instead, he focused intently on the sounds coming from Yin Yang City.
"King's No. 29 Beginner Village, King's No. 30 Beginner Village, King's Thirty-One Beginner Village..."
Upon hearing "Thirty-One," Lian Yun wasted no time and swiftly stepped out of the train. Only then did he let out a slight sigh of relief.
As he looked around, he was astonished to find himself surrounded by three to four hundred people and spirits.
What was even more terrifying was that about a hundred meters away, at the entrance of a village, five to six hundred more people and spirits came rushing out.
In an instant, all the newcomers huddled together, warily watching the approaching crowd.
However, what happened next was somewhat unexpected.
The four to five hundred people and spirits stopped about fifty meters in front of the group and suddenly began to fight among themselves, accompanied by shouts that filled the air.
"Join my team! You only need to give up thirty percent of your earnings, and I can guarantee your safety."
"Join my team! Just twenty-seven percent of your earnings is required, and your safety is absolutely assured."
"Join my team! No personal earnings required, but you must obey orders."
"Join us~~~~"
It turned out they were here to recruit.
Although it felt somewhat amusing, Lian Yun couldn't bring himself to laugh; instead, his expression grew serious.
From the behavior of these people, it seemed that there might be a special protection plan for newcomers in this novice village. However, seeing the presence of formidable fighters like the Peak Monarch in the battle, Lian Yun realized that this novice village was likely not as easy as it appeared.
Moreover, having witnessed someone being enslaved before even reaching the novice village, Lian Yun's heart became even more vigilant.
Just as Lian Yun was pondering how to begin, he heard someone from his side shout, "Don't believe them! A personal income cut of twenty to thirty percent may not seem like much, but this condition could very well lead us to ruin."
"Everyone has seen the promotions from Yin Yang City, right? The novice protection plan allows for a free contract signing once. Who would want to sign an equal teaming contract with me?"
The Equal Teaming Contract seemed to pose no issues of one party deceiving another. It was likely that every carriage had witnessed the consequences of defying Yin Yang City's will, so no one dared to breach the contract.
This request seemed reasonable; it allowed for collaboration while also permitting individual growth, with mutual support in times of danger.
However, Lian Yun didn't pay much attention to it. Firstly, he had no intention of teaming up with anyone. Secondly, he didn't know much about Yin Yang City. Given the many controversies surrounding it, Lian Yun felt that any contract lacking thoroughness could lead to dire consequences. Thus, he naturally wouldn't sign anything casually.
Yet the fierce fighting ahead made it impossible for Lian Yun to pass through, leaving him with no choice but to wait helplessly.
Before long, three individuals approached alongside Two Ghosts. They clasped their hands toward Lian Yun and said, "We wonder if we could team up with you? We are willing to accept any conditions."
The two Spirits added, "We are willing to follow you, sir; we only hope you can give us a deadline after which we regain our freedom."
In an instant, those around Lian Yun stopped and turned their gazes toward him.
In Yin Yang City, any status or identity held outside was rendered useless. Thus, these three Desperados were willing to accept any terms just to team up with Lian Yun, while the two Spirits were even prepared to become slaves just to follow him.
What kind of strength and prestige did this represent?
Many people were carefully speculating about Lian Yun's identity.
However, before Lian Yun got off the vehicle, he had conveniently brought along Mask. Unless one had watched the Alliance Tournament or received news at the last moment, it would be difficult to guess Lian Yun's identity.
Although Lian Yun himself felt a bit surprised, he still shook his head slightly and said, "I don't want to team up with anyone, but you five can form a team. I will vouch for you. If anyone betrays you, let me know, and I will ensure justice for you."
A few people around chuckled softly, not only mocking Lian Yun for being unaware of his own limitations but also for other reasons.
However, despite some regrets, the three members of Two Ghosts nodded in gratitude and formed a team amidst the astonishment of many onlookers.
Many began to speculate again about who exactly Lian Yun was.
Lian Yun originally did not want to meddle in others' affairs, but the three from Two Ghosts seemed sincere enough and did not reveal any of their personal information. Moreover, Yin Yang City was filled with dangers; unless absolutely necessary, Lian Yun did not wish to make enemies casually.
Yet, as he watched the escalating battle ahead, where injuries and bloodshed were becoming apparent, something suddenly changed in Lian Yun's expression. He turned to the five behind him and commanded, "Follow me!"
Lian Yun charged forward fiercely, declaring, "Those who block my path shall die!"
