Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 184: Living in Peace with the World
"I rely on..."

Youyaoqi was a seemingly lazy young man around 25 years old. He was holding a blue SMC in his arms. Looking at the craters left by RPGs on the battlefield, the dense bullet holes on the rocks and trees, and the traces of melee players' elemental bursts, his face turned ashen: "I didn't expect the fighting up there to be so intense..."

"Chasing Shadows..."

Beside him was a cute girl with big eyes, wearing a spiritual robe and holding a submachine gun. Her name was Zhixiao, and like Youyaoqi, she was the vice leader of the Old Royal Court Guild.

Zhixiao looked at me, and said softly with lingering fear, "Thank goodness you came, otherwise we would definitely have been killed by these white players."

"It's okay, just a coincidence."

While comforting her, I cleaned up the mess with Cai Cai and Ruo Lin, taking everything we could—it was all money!
"correct."

I looked at the demonic aura and asked, "Has your former royal court suffered any losses?"

"We were lucky. When they ambushed us, we adopted a defensive tactic, so no one died. What about you?" Youyaoqi asked.

"Two people were lost."

"what?!"

Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt very sad.

"fine."

I added, "Those two both had the Resurrection Scripture on them and have already been resurrected at the teleportation array. But I'm really curious about these white players. Who is that Marco Polo? He's incredibly strong, he overpowered the three of us all by himself. And how could someone like that not have the Resurrection Scripture on him? I just can't understand it."

"Master Chasing Shadows, you have no idea..."

Zhi Xiaodao said, "I just learned about this team from the dark web forum not long ago. They are from the Star Maple Federation faction. To put it bluntly, they are from a foreign server outside of our Chinese server. I don't know which country they are from. This Marco Polo has a very high ranking in the European server of Star Abyss. It is said that he was once a top ten player during the closed beta."

"No wonder..."

I frowned: "With good equipment and strong skills, it would be quite troublesome if it were a one-on-one fight rather than a battle against many opponents."

"Ah."

He explained, "As for why someone like Marco Polo would go out without the Resurrection Scripture, he actually did bring it. But three days ago, when this group of white players entered the Frostwind Tundra, they encountered a guild from our Chinese server called 'Ren Zai Jianghu'. After a fierce battle, Ren Zai Jianghu was almost completely wiped out, except for a few people who escaped. More than twenty players died."

He paused, then continued, "And during this process, Marco Polo was just too fierce. He took the lead and had a resurrection book destroyed by the people in the Jianghu. He chose to resurrect on the spot, killed all the people in the Jianghu, and then continued to roam the map of the Rising Wind Tundra, looking for Chinese players to loot it. To put it bluntly, this guy was too arrogant. He didn't leave even after the resurrection book was gone."

"damn it……"

Cai Cai said, "Actually, if it weren't for us, but instead an ordinary national server team, no one could beat them."

"That's the truth..."

Among the crowd, a player from the Old Royal Court named Yu Bai said, "If it weren't for the great god Zhu Ying in charge, I doubt anyone could have killed Marco Polo. He has his reasons for being arrogant, and he certainly has the ability to back it up. It's just a pity that if you walk too much by the river, you're bound to get your shoes wet. It was just a coincidence that the great god Zhu Ying ran into him."

"call……"

I took a deep breath. You know what, these kinds of flattering words do sound nice. No wonder corrupt officials and scoundrels love to do it.

"How to say?"

In the team chat, I asked, "Is everything cleaned up?"

"Ah."

Ruolin said, "I've already taken the more valuable items. I can't carry the rest; my storage space is full."

"Why not throw away the sauerkraut fish and stuff a blue submachine gun in instead?"

"Too……"

……

After we finished cleaning up the battlefield, I pointed to the battlefield behind me and said, "There is demonic energy here. There are still a lot of remnants on the battlefield. If you don't mind, you can clean it up. Otherwise, it would be a waste to leave those guns and ammunition here to rust."

"it is good!"

Everyone's eyes lit up and they all nodded in agreement.

So, by the time the former royal court had cleaned up the battlefield, it was almost dawn.

"Chasing Shadows".

You Yaoqi glanced at the pale dawn in the distance and said, "Our boss will be here soon. It's almost daylight. Should we wait for him?"

"Okay, let's wait near Galewind Fortress."

"Ok!"

……

As dawn broke, an off-road vehicle came into view, carrying six or seven players who got out. The one walking in front looked very familiar; it was none other than the leader of the Old Royal Court, the player known as "Peaceful and Unassuming".

He was around 30 years old, with a handsome appearance, but his eyes revealed a composure and calmness that did not match his age. It seems that the legend is true. This former leader of the royal court looks young, but he is actually very steady. It is said that he ranked among the top in the closed beta of "Star Abyss" and was one of the top ten players in the Chinese server.

As a player ranked 99th in the closed beta, I would look up to such a master in real life.

Furthermore, on the dark web, this unassuming player is highly regarded. After being sucked into the world of "Star Abyss", his personal abilities are outstanding. He is assessed by many data collectors on the dark web as a "near-T0" player, even higher than the evaluations of masters such as Gun Out Like Dragon, God Ember, and One Slash to the Soul!
Unfortunately, Yu Shi Wu Zheng is lazy and truly doesn't compete with the world. Although he created the Old Royal Court guild, he basically doesn't have any top players under him. It is said that the two strongest players are only at the T3 level. So it is equivalent to Yu Shi Wu Zheng carrying the entire guild up the ladder with his "T0" strength.

It's ruthless!

"Ding Han, thank you!" Yu Shi Wu Zheng stepped forward and grasped my hand, his eyes slightly reddening. He looked at You Yao Qi, Zhi Xiao, and the others, saying, "If it weren't for your help, these people of mine would probably be gone forever..."

"polite."

I nodded: "This time it was only because everyone in our team had a copy of the Resurrection Scripture, otherwise we might not have dared to make a move. After all, the Marco Polo team is just too strong!"

"I've heard about it; you've lost several men."

Yu Shi Wu Zheng immediately opened the trade panel and put three golden resurrection scriptures, ten medical kits, and a large amount of bullets into the trade column, saying, "All the resurrection scriptures, high-level recovery items, and common bullets we have here are here. I have nothing else but these tangible things to thank you for saving my brother's life."

"..."

I was a little dumbfounded. This person who is unambitious is too straightforward, the kind who is particularly honest.

"There's no rush yet."

I canceled the transaction immediately and said, "Alliance Leader, how about we talk about this when we get back to Huaining City? After all, the journey back might not be safe. You can keep these Resurrection Scriptures for now, just in case. Once we get back to Huaining City and it's safe, you can compensate us. What do you think?"

"it is good!"

He nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with emotion, probably because he hadn't expected me to think so much about them.

How will you get back?

"Our SUV is nearby, we'll drive it back in a bit."

"Alright, let's meet at the player black market in Huaining City!"

……

So, Ruolin, Caicai, and I went to the woods outside Gale Fortress and found the off-road vehicle. Unfortunately, the key was with Koumei, but that didn't stump me, the expert mechanic. So I just pulled out the cable and gave Ruolin and Caicai a demonstration right there.

"Om~~~"

The moment the engine started, Cai Cai took a deep breath: "Awesome..."

"Having more skills is never a bad thing; you must learn more."

"I have learned a lot from you!"

So, I drove. This time, we didn't go around in circles. The team had already lost members, and we had acquired too much loot after wiping out Marco Polo's team. We needed to go to the player black market to digest it, so we were no longer in the mood to wander around the wilderness.

Two hours later, we arrived at the teleportation array.

"Ding Han!"

"Boss~~~"

Fatty and Kou Mei didn't go back; they waited outside the teleportation array.

After returning the off-road vehicle, I laughed and walked over, saying, "Thank you all for your hard work! Come on over, let's divide the equipment. Everyone gets a share, no fighting or grabbing!"

So the five of them huddled together, heads close together.

First, I took out Marco Polo's purple sword, which had pretty good stats, similar to the Wind Chaser sword. So I said, "Whoever needs this sword can take it."

"No doubt about it, mine..."

Ruolin smiled and said, "There are only two super warriors in the whole team. If you don't need it, then it's mine."

"Take it!"

I handed the purple sword to her directly, and then took out a piece of purple armor: "Everyone except Kou Mei can equip this armor, but I have a better one, so the three of you play rock-paper-scissors."

"okay!"

In the end, Cai Cai won and happily took home the purple armor.

After that, Ruolin won the purple submachine gun, while Fatty won the purple ring. In addition, Ruolin and Caicai also took out three pieces of equipment dropped by the white players, and each took them as needed.

I didn't take any equipment at all. The set of equipment I was wearing was already the limit of purple. Unless it was orange equipment, I really wouldn't even look at it.

As for the blue equipment, everyone distributed it slightly to ensure that everyone received roughly the same amount of blue equipment. Marco Polo's several blue armors with top-tier attributes were also taken internally.

In short, although this battle was dangerous and two of us were killed, the losses were minimal. The Resurrection Scripture will compensate us from the World Without Contention side. On the contrary, this battle improved the equipment level of Ruolin, Cai Cai, Fatty, and Kou Mei, so it was a great gain.

"Ding Han!"

At this time, the people from the old royal court also returned.

Yu Shi Wu Zheng walked at the front, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Fatty and Kou Mei, and said, "Thank you both. Without your sacrifice, our Old Royal Court team would probably have been wiped out."

"You're too kind, you're too kind..."

The fat man smiled and nodded, shaking hands with the unassuming man.

The next moment, Yu Shi Wu Zheng opened the trade window again and traded all the treasures he had prepared.

Everything else is fake. Those three Resurrection Scriptures are extremely valuable. Although the current purple BOSSes have a chance to drop Resurrection Scriptures, the chance is too low, and the players consume them too quickly. Therefore, the Resurrection Scriptures have always been in short supply, and the price has been inflated to over 150 million, which is quite outrageous.

Most importantly, they are priceless and unavailable; even with money, you might not be able to buy them. Therefore, a person who is indifferent to worldly affairs is... worth befriending!
