Chapter 107: 108

When Gu Xingzhu left, her expression was even uglier than old man Gu Tianwen’s. Of course, her mood was not within the range of Gu Nan’s consideration.

It wasn’t like Gu Nan never touched women, but he just wasn’t interested in this kind of passerby NPC.

As a veteran player, he didn’t mind being addicted to female NPCs to the point of being unable to “extricate himself,” but it must at least be NPCs he was familiar with and conquered, after maxing their affection level.

In the next few days, Gu Nan began to wander around randomly and even made a trip to Lin Yunyun’s hometown, trying to find the trigger point of the next event, but there was no harvest.

Instead, he ran into several waves of “suicide attacks,” mostly from Zhou Xuewen’s disciples.

They probably saw themselves as the heroes in novels who believed that they could carry out justice in Heaven’s stead, but unfortunately, their actions were no different from suicide in Gu Nan’s eyes.

The military also sent over their response, which was quite interesting.

The letter came from Huang Wu, the commander of this region’s military. He was precisely Huang Qi’s uncle—Huang Qi was the one who wanted to take revenge for Hu Wei and brought along her little brother in the attack that cost both their lives.

The tone of Huang Wu’s letter was very polite. The general meaning was: “My nephew’s brain isn’t very good, so feel free to kill him—no need to be polite. But Hu Wei is very fond of her younger brother; you should be careful.”

It was indeed as Lu Zhanyu’s predicted. This Commander Huang didn’t really care about his nephew. He simply didn’t want to make an enemy of a Domain Stage cultivator and even took the time to write a letter to express his goodwill.

After all, reality wasn’t like a novel. The kind of scene where an organization’s elders popped out right after you beat up their disciples was rare.

That is, unless the other party feels that this is already an irreconcilable feud—such as the Seven Stars Team, or such as…

“Hu Wei?” Gu Nan chuckled and casually burned the letter, not taking it to heart.

With his current power, his survivability actually far exceeded his actual combat power, having long since reached a terrifying point. Even enemies who could be considered Tier 4 in the game would find it very difficult to kill him, unless their ability just happened to completely neutralize his own.

In the game, an agility-type Evil God who controlled shadows was one of the hardest builds to kill, not to mention that he also chose the Resistance skill.

Gu Nan’s search for the next event came up empty, so he had no choice but to try to find clues from Lin Yunyun.

He occasionally studied the origin of the girl’s strange physique, as well as the detailed characteristics of this physique. Sometimes he knocked Lin Yunyun unconscious and sent her to Gu Nian.

One can tell at a glance that this kind of odd lily woman who liked little lolis wouldn’t be anything good. Thus, it was very normal if the next event was triggered through Gu Nian.

Unfortunately, although his “video tape collection” increased in size, he still didn’t have a clue on how to trigger the next event.

Today, a Gu Nan who was a little irritable from being stuck without a clue fished out Lu Zhanyu again—of course it wasn’t to find someone to vent. He wanted to see if she had a new mission.

“You mean, you need a mission that requires a medium-sized plane, regardless of difficulty level?” Lu Zhanyu was puzzled by Gu Nan’s strange request.

“Mm.” Gu Nan nodded. “You don’t need to know the reason; you just need to know the requirements.”

Lu Zhanyu shrugged. “It’s not very common that one would describe the size of the mission plane beforehand, unless they’re looking for a mission in a known plane.”

“Is there a way?” Gu Nan clasped his hands together and asked with rapt attention.

If he could obtain this method, then it was fine even if he abandoned the chain events. In any case, he could still get the reward, and dungeons would also give points in addition to Evil Value.

Lu Zhanyu frowned in thought. “It’s not impossible… you just need a wide selection of missions to pick from. This requires you to have relatively high authority in the reincarnation organization’s platform.”

“Can I join the reincarnation platform directly?” Gu Nan remembered his situation in Radiant Tower and immediately asked.

“It’s possible, but an organization at Astral Gate’s level wouldn’t easily accept people, much less people in a remote region like the Ninth Region.”

Gu Nan nodded. “Looks like it’s time to switch maps.”

Lu Zhanyu gave him an odd look, not quite understanding his wording, but still said, “I know of a small reincarnation organization that has just been recently established. Are you interested?”

“Of course!” Gu Nan said without hesitation.

He couldn’t wait to find out the method to accept missions. Then he’d be able to directly look for missions without the help of another organization.

Only then did Lu Zhanyu reveal a smile. “That organization is in the Sixth Region. I can take you there… In exchange, can you do me a favor?”

“Okay.” Gu Nan nodded. It was only natural to complete quests in order to obtain information from NPCs. This was very much in line with a player’s system of values.

Lu Zhanyu began to talk about what she needed Gu Nan’s help with.

To put it bluntly, she wanted him to be a hired thug—to fight for the Lu family once and win a round in a match. This involved a fight over benefits between several branches of the Lu family. Since it wouldn’t look good if the Lu family’s members actually fought each other, they decided each branch’s benefits through proxy battles. 

In fact, this was also one of the original reasons why the Lu siblings came to Ruby Fish Star.

During the incident with Hu Wei, Gu Nan didn’t give the older sister, Lu Xingyu, any face. However, Lu Xingyu still took the initiative to visit him because of this matter.

It was only later, when Gu Nan’s conflicts with the parties involved escalated further and further, that Lu Xingyu didn’t mention it again because she felt that nothing she could offer would move him.

“So, when do we leave? Where is it located?” Gu Nan asked.

“The sooner the better. Time is already very tight.” Lu Zhanyu answered, “The location is Heavenly Enterprise Star, the home turf of our branch of the family.”

Gu Nan was about to speak, but the Evil God Temple shook slightly at this time.

｢Evil Event triggered: Seize the Eye of Maes｣

A hundred curses immediately ran through Gu Nan’s heart… ‘It turns out that the next event is triggered by talking to Lu Zhanyu… or rather, by mentioning Heavenly Enterprise Star!’

‘You should’ve said so earlier!’

Gu Nan couldn’t help feeling pained when he thought about his repeated attempts to trigger the next event these past few days—they were all wastes of time.

But now that the clue finally appeared, he asked with a serious expression, “Have you ever heard of Maes, or the Eye of Maes?”

“Maes?” Lu Zhanyu thought about it but eventually shook her head.

……

“You’re going to Heavenly Enterprise Star?” Gu Nian stood in Gu Nan’s room and asked with a frown.

“Mm, at the invitation of the Lu sisters.” Gu Nan put down the document in his hand and rubbed his brow in slight exhaustion.

He had already checked the ancient records for seven hours, from ancient times to modern times, all concerning Heavenly Enterprise Star and the name “Maes.”

There were many matches for people or items that contained the name Maes, and he needed to check them one by one to see which one might be the target of his next mission.

Gu Nian’s expression didn’t look very good, but she didn’t look very disappointed either.

Recently, the Gu family put most of its efforts on colonizing Immortal Demon World and couldn’t pay as much attention to events in Star Realm. It would be quite convenient if Gu Nan, the unstable factor, was willing to leave on his own.

It’s just that…

“Why do you have to take Lin Yunyun away as well?” Gu Nian’s face was gloomy—this was what she really wanted to ask.

Gu Nan’s face couldn’t help revealing a smile. “What? Can’t bear to let her go?”

This kind of mocking tone made Gu Nian clench her teeth and grind them together. Ever since her secret was discovered, she had become increasingly unable to speak in front of Gu Nan.

In theory, this secret was nothing at all, but her heart just unconsciously felt weak after Gu Nan discovered her secret.

No matter how many schemes this “upgraded version of Lu Zhanyu” had, in the end, she was only a girl in her twenties.

Gu Nan stood up and patted her shoulder. “I’m definitely taking Lin Yunyun with me, but I can recommend you a new target!”

“There’s an older loli in Immortal Demon World called Yan Xiaoxiao who’s guaranteed to suit your taste.”

Gu Nian glared at him for a while, hesitation flashing over her face. Finally, she asked, “How big[1]?”

“At least D.”

“I’m talking about…”

“Oh, she’s not too young. But her strength surged when she was young, so now she still maintains a teenager’s body! She’s a legal loli!”

“……”

Notes: [1] “How big?” can mean either “How old?” or “How big?”
