Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 369 The Land of Resurrection (3rd Update)
"Ding Han, you...you mustn't act impulsively..."

Xie Zheng glanced at Xie Xie, then looked at the power sword in my hand; he naturally knew what it was.

"Pfft!"

The next second, Xie Zheng actually knelt down, his slightly aged body trembling.

"I really didn't poison Xiaoying, Ding Han. I'm Xiaoying's uncle... Even if we have many disagreements about the company's plans, how could I possibly harm her life?"

As he spoke, Xie Zheng burst into tears: "Please, don't hurt Xie Xie, give her back to me, give her back to me..."

"so."

My gaze was icy: "Thank you for being the most important person to you, and for showing fear now. But Xiaoying is also the most important person to me. I almost lost her. Can you understand how I feel?"

"I can, I can..."

Xie Zheng, tears streaming down his face, pleaded, "But I really didn't do this. I, Xie Zheng, swear on my honor that this has nothing to do with me. I know nothing about it. Ding Han, please, don't hurt me, thank you..."

"Brother Ding Han..."

Thank you was terrified and cried, "Why did you bully Grandpa? Grandpa he..."

"Thank you."

I bent down and patted the little girl's head again, saying, "Brother had no choice but to do this. Go, go to Grandpa's side."

"it is good!"

The little girl had no idea how treacherous the world was; she let go of my hand and rushed towards Xie Zheng.

Following the formula in the movie, the Fearless should have opened fire at this point, blasting her and her grandfather to smithereens!

"thanks, thanks……"

Xie Zheng hugged Xie Xie tightly, but still couldn't get up from the ground and remained kneeling there.

"Thank you, Mr.

I gripped my power sword and said calmly, "It's not just Xiaoying who has weaknesses; you do too. I hope you remember what happened today. If something similar happens again, I promise you, I will never be so kind again."

"I know I know……"

Xie Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Ding Han, please believe me. My disagreement with Xiao Ying within the group was just a matter of business rules. I never intended to harm her life. I really knew nothing about this!"

"It better be this way."

I nodded and raised my hand to put away the power sword.

Turning around, Aki had already stepped out of the mecha. The mecha lights went out, and he resumed his seated posture, disappearing into his storage space in a second. Then, the two of them walked through the night through the alley and sat down inside the S680.

……

"Boss, I finally know what you're up to..."

Aki was a little excited: "You're pretty cool... This old guy Xie Zheng is probably scared to death. After you scared him like that, I reckon he'll be well-behaved for a long time."

I nodded, leaned back in my seat, and said, "Drive, let's find a place to get some late-night snacks!"

"okay!"

Looking at the neon lights outside the window, I frowned, my feelings slightly complicated.

This time, he even did something like this for Lin Qingying...

But I don't regret it. Even if I'm sorry and thank you, even if the methods weren't honorable, I accept it. As long as Lin Qingying is away from danger, I wouldn't even bat an eye if it meant murder or arson.

Close your eyes and use the player voice chat to call Xu Tian.

"Ah Tian!"

"Brother Han!"

He answered immediately, but then he heard sounds of battle and the release of psionic energy coming from the other end.

"Oh, you're leveling up? Then concentrate, I won't bother you."

"no, I'm fine."

Xu Tian laughed and said, "I'm farming a medium-sized Zerg hive with a bunch of brothers. Drinking water and chatting are no problem at all. So, tell me, what's up?"

The Crimson Cloud Alliance has its own intelligence system, and Xu Tian is in charge of this system. Moreover, his hacking skills are probably second only to mine in the entire Huaining City, making him a highly skilled talent.

"I want you to help me investigate someone and monitor his every move."

"Who?"

“Zhong Baiyan is a shareholder of Yuening Group.”

"So why investigate him? Knowing the reason will make it easier for me to track his movements."

"You know my girlfriend, right?"

"I know her, the super beautiful CEO of Yuening Group, is named Lin Qingying, right? If you don't have any other girlfriends... she should be the one."

"um, yes."

I calmly said, "A few days ago, someone poisoned Xiaoying. Fortunately, I discovered it using the player system. There weren't many people with a motive. It was mainly a few people from Yue Ning's side who were vying for control of the group. One was Xie Zheng, whom I had just warned, and the other was Zhong Baiyan. I don't know much about Zhong Baiyan and don't want to alert him. So I hope you can spare some people to keep an eye on his every move and gather more relevant information for me."

"Okay, no problem at all!"

Xu Tian said, "Our intelligence team is also responsible for this kind of thing. Now it's just a matter of paying attention to one more person. Don't worry, I will notify you immediately if there is any movement from Zhong Baiyan!"

"OK, thanks a lot, God!"

"We're all brothers, no need to be so polite!"

……

It was late at night, around 11 p.m.

"Click~~~"

Just as I opened the door, I saw Lin Qingying sitting in the living room, putting away a pile of documents.

Beside her, Xiao Ai stood straight against the opposite wall, silent, like a door god.

"Ding Han." She stood up and smiled, "You're back?"

"Well, how was your work today?" I asked with a smile.

"so far so good……"

"Where's Xiao Ai?"

I looked at the beautiful robot not far away and asked, "Did she help at all?"

"some."

Lin Qingying smiled with her dimples: "Xiao Ai is capable of handling things like organizing documents and tidying up miscellaneous items."

"Is that so?" I asked, half believing and half doubting.

Xiao Ai immediately activated, huffing and puffing, "Ding Han, you're really underestimating me! I've also loaded modules like automated office work. To be honest, if I really used 100% of my abilities, Shen Man would be out of a job!"

I was taken aback for a moment: "Then you should take it easy. It wasn't easy for Shen Man to find a job, and she values ​​this job very much."

Xiao Ai chuckled: "Okay, I know."

As she spoke, she went into power-off mode again.

"correct."

I glanced at her: "You need to protect Xiaoying in her room while she's sleeping, never leaving her side, and make sure there aren't any snipers or anything like that upstairs across the street..."

"what?"

Lin Qingying was surprised: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Prevention is better than cure, that's Xiao Ai's job, so don't worry about it."

"Ok."

Lin Qingying nodded: "Go wash up and go to bed. There's a morning meeting tomorrow."

"Row."

……

It's midnight.

I guess many players, like me, are waiting for midnight. If it's past midnight and I haven't fallen asleep, then I can finally go to sleep peacefully.

The arrival of the warp chaos faction has indeed made many players feel uneasy, and this feeling is certainly not pleasant.

As a result, at twelve o'clock, a bell rang.

[System Notification: Please note that the version map "Land of Resurrection" (SS-tier) is officially launched! Entry requirements: Overall combat power level of 9 or higher. This map is fraught with danger; please enter with caution!]

In an instant, the star map of Huaining City exploded—

Player Chaos Demon King: westoday, is this map really that demanding? 9 combat power! How many people can actually match that?

Player Ruolin: It is indeed dangerous; most people simply cannot meet the requirements.

Player is YaoYaoYa: Has anyone met the requirements? Please raise your hand.

Player Lazy Sleepy: If nothing unexpected happens, Ding Han has definitely met the requirements. He probably already has a full set of S8 plus a few S9s, right?

Player Fish: Ding Han definitely meets the standard, but what about the others? Dragon Alliance Leader is wielding a power gun, his combat level should be at least 9, right? Whether you've reached that or not, please show yourselves!
Player's Gunfire: Why bring up something you shouldn't say...?

Player Chaos Demon King: Hahaha, you really brought up the wrong thing. Speaking of which, the gear of the Uncontested Master is also very strong. He even soloed the gold BOSS last time. He should have met the requirements, right?

Player: Barely, with a combat power of 9.1, even when I enter a map, I can only get scraps.

……

It seems that there are only two players in the entire Huaining City who have met the requirements and entered the Land of Resurrection: one is me, and the other is someone who is indifferent to worldly affairs.

His combat power level, which is indifferent to worldly affairs, is just barely above the threshold. Just as he said, this combat power level is unlikely to allow him to enter the core area of ​​the Land of Resurgence. Even if he did go there, he could only farm some small monsters on the outskirts.

At that moment, another bell rang, signaling a joint mission launched by GMs from across the Crimson Dragon Kingdom—

[Attention all players! The new version's map quest, "The Perilous Land of Resurrection" (SS), is now officially live! It will automatically trigger upon entering the Land of Resurrection. Quest details: A mysterious power is awakening deep within the Land of Resurrection. Please go there to investigate. Furthermore, players entering the Land of Resurrection should exercise extreme caution, as some horrifying events are unfolding there!]

Alright, we've added another SS-rank mission.

The missions and version maps are now available, so you can go there overnight.

but……

Forget it, I'm a bit sleepy. I'll talk about it after I wake up. Besides, going out in the middle of the night seems rushed and will only cause Lin Qingying unnecessary worry. I still hope that every time I go out, she will see it as just a simple daily task, and that even if there is any danger, I will take responsibility on my own.

"drop!"

At that moment, a message came from the Unassuming One: "Ding Han, you went to this Land of Resurrection, didn't you?"

"Yes, of course I'll go."

I nodded: "The warp is so powerful now, it almost crushed all of us players the moment it arrived, especially after that massacre in the Lost Lands. If our player faction doesn't do something, the warp will really treat us like trash. By the way, Lao Yu, are you going?"

"Don't go..."

The person who was indifferent to worldly affairs felt a little awkward: "If I go, I'm worried that I'll easily become someone's meal. After all, I don't have a power sword, and I'll be at a real disadvantage when encountering a lot of high-health monsters!"

"makes sense."

I wholeheartedly agree: "Don't be too anxious about the power sword; it will come eventually."

"Ok."

He sent a crying emoji and went to sleep.

……

How miserable.

The player ranked second in combat ability in Huaining City is still anxious about not having a powered weapon.
