Chapter 145 The Grand Stage of Nodes: If You're Willing to Snatch It, Then Come!

After Xu Yueluo produced the "No Return Order," Xu Yuechu and Xu Yuexuan stopped arguing.

They realized that their third sister was trying to recruit Cao Yu into the City of No Return, and their expressions became serious.

Xu Yuechu then took out his own "No Return Token" and added to Cao Yu's explanation:

"This thing is actually pretty useful! Within the same node, it can enable seamless communication between members who don't need to return to town, as long as they've added each other as friends."

Features such as forums, bounties, and task assignment have many clever uses.

However, its most convenient feature is its shopping system. As long as you're inside a Spirit Boat Point or Time Station, performing a 'No-Return Ritual' and providing your coordinates will teleport you to the destination. While the teleportation time varies, there have never been any errors.

"That's amazing?" Cao Yu admitted he was astonished. "What kind of power could achieve this level of shopping teleportation? The headquarters of No Return City isn't even on node 09, so this is cross-node teleportation, right?"

While questioning him, he noticed that Xu Yuechu's "No Response Order" displayed "Bōshōzoku" (a derogatory term for a group of bikers).

“We don’t know the specific principles and implementation details either,” Xu Yuechu shook his head.

"It's normal that the Fire Phoenix Fairy is unaware of this due to her shallow cultivation and limited understanding."

Xu Yuexuan suddenly spoke up and explained to Cao Yu:

"The Lord of Wuhui City is a 'Near Immortal,' only one step away from becoming an immortal. Such a powerful being has already reached the limit of the evolution game's scope in terms of power. A mere interdimensional spacetime technique can be achieved simply by building an immortal array and setting array eyes at various nodes. It is not difficult for the Lord of Wuhui City."

"Second sister, can you stop talking nonsense?!" Xu Yuechu said impatiently, "We're talking about serious matters, so behave yourself!"

Cao Yu said to Xu Yuexuan, "Can I see your 'No Return Order'?"

"No!"

Empress Yuexuan's expression turned serious:
"I possess the bearing of an Immortal Emperor, which has aroused the jealousy of the Lord of Wuhui City, who has given me a very offensive comment. In short, the comment on my 'Wuhui Order' is utter nonsense! Demon Lord, please do not delve into such words that damage my image."

At this point, a hint of disdain appeared in her eyes:

"Hmph... Even if the Lord of Wuhui City becomes an immortal, he is still just a minor immortal. How dare he offend the majesty of the Immortal Emperor... When I become an emperor in the future, I will definitely punish him slightly."

Cao Yu: "..."

It seems that Xu Yuexuan's "No Return Order" was displayed with comments like "chuunibyou" (middle school syndrome)... Empress Yuexuan was probably so overwhelmed that she didn't even want anyone to see it.

It has to be said that this "no-reply order" is quite skillful; his judgment of people is incredibly accurate.

The Empress continued:

"With your demonic potential, Demon Lord, passing the 'No Return Token' test should be quite simple. However, I don't have any extra 'No Return Tokens' on me, nor do Fire Phoenix and Duobao. Demon Lord, you may have to wait a few days, and I will get one for you."

"..."

Cao Yu became somewhat worried.

The detection and verification mechanism that prevents players from returning to base is a damn way to test someone's insanity!
Even Luo Feng, who seems relatively normal, has an astonishing penchant for "contrasting pretentiousness." He's even willing to spend a lot of time faking and preparing for a fleeting moment of pretentiousness... It's unlikely that a normal person could pass the "no response order" test.

In other words, his chances of passing are very small.

After all, he's not mentally ill.

"...Forget it, worrying about that now is useless. If I really don't pass...I suppose besides the no-return-to-town system, there are other large factions in the game that I can use as a backer or a reporting channel. I'll inquire about them and look for an opportunity to join."

Cao Yu adjusted his mood and returned to a normal mindset.

Xu Yueluo then said:
"Brother, please tell us your ID card number at node 09. We'll contact you once we get the 'no-return order'."

"Um……"

Cao Yu gave out his ID number and added the three sisters as friends.

The communication function of this ID card can only be used within the Tianhuan City at node 09, which is far inferior to the node communication function of "no reply".

However, he has been staying in Tianhuan City recently and plans to buy a house to settle down, so there is no need to worry about communication.

"Brother, we're leaving now." Xu Yueluo waved cutely at Cao Yu.

Xu Yuechu and Xu Yuexuan also said a brief goodbye.

The three figures quickly disappeared from the spot.

"Brother Cao, keep in touch anytime if you need anything." Luo Feng took the opportunity to lean closer and said with a smile, "I'm in the player bodyguard circle, so I'm kind of a middleman. If you ever need anything in this area, don't forget to patronize my business."

"Mr. Cao, thank you so much this time." Su Mei said sincerely, "If it weren't for your team's guidance and support, I wouldn't have gotten an A-level rating..."

"Don't mention it, it's fate that we met." Cao Yu smiled and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

“I plan to follow Mr. Luo Feng for a while and see if I can settle down in Tianhuan City,” Su Mei replied. “If that doesn’t work, I might have to settle for another district… It’s hard to say what will happen in the end; it depends on how things develop.”

"Brother Cao, would you like to join us?" Luo Feng invited.

This was an invitation he extended out of politeness.

In reality... if Cao Yuzhen had accepted, he would probably have knelt down on the spot, crying and shouting, "Actually, I was just being polite."

He had no choice; he felt that acting with Cao Yu was far too dangerous!
Although he's a member of the No Return City faction, he doesn't like robbing!
Cao Yu is a purely dangerous individual...

Fortunately, Cao Yu refused.

"No, I still have a lot of things to investigate," Cao Yu joked. "Besides, with me around, Brother Luofeng, your little hobby probably won't have a stage to be performed. After all... two tigers can't share one mountain, and I can't just watch you show off in front of me."

"...Haha, Brother Cao is joking." Luo Feng laughed awkwardly twice and then said, "May we meet again someday."

After saying that, he took Su Mei with him and left the instance.

Cao Yu looked around and realized he was the only player left in the dungeon. He brought up his player panel and checked the rewards.

[Dungeon Rewards: 5000 Evolution Points, one D-grade item, 3 D-grade Dungeon Invitations, 1 Evolution Game Invitation, 3 D-grade Spirit Recovery Potions, 3 D-grade Stamina Recovery Potions, 3 D-grade Healing Potions, 3 Spirit Power Recovery Potions]

[D-Rank Item: Moonlit Spirit Sword]

Insufficient attack range is a common problem for many melee-focused superhero players.

Do you also struggle with how to quickly close the distance to your target? Do you find your strenuous running posture ungraceful? Do you deeply resent fast-moving enemies?

Grasp this longsword forged from moonlight and become a noble ranged warrior. Strength is merely a matter of evolution level, but style is a matter for a lifetime.

[Effect 1: You can consume spiritual energy to convert moonlight and condense it into a spirit sword of any shape and length for hand-held melee combat and ranged sword combat.]

[Effect 2: When you wield the Spirit Sword, you can unleash a crescent slash, which will be infused with a slight effect of your superpowers.]

[Note: The length of the spirit sword and the size of the crescent slash depend on the amount of mental energy you expend.]

'This item... is it a low-end version of extraordinary energy?'

After reading the introduction, Cao Yu seemed to be deep in thought.

Once a Superman player reaches the C-level evolution level, extraordinary energy based on superpower attributes will be generated within their body.

This energy possesses a slight superpower effect, and it takes effect immediately upon release.

The "Moonlight Spirit Sword" item also has a slight superpower effect when it releases a crescent-shaped slash – by possessing it, superhuman players can experience the characteristics of the C-level range in advance.

However... considering that it is only a D-grade item, its power should not be as strong as true extraordinary energy.

'It's a transitional item for the D-rank stage.'

Cao Yu mentally considered its potential uses and thought it was passable.

Furthermore, the ability to freely condense spiritual swords perfectly replaces the function of the "Ruyi Eight-Sided Sword".

I have to say, it suits him quite well.

He immediately moved the prop to the prop slot.

[Your player panel has been regenerated]

[Nickname: How am I any different from that traitor Cao Cao?]

[Number: C09009233333]

[Items: Storm Dragon's Domain (C), Moonlit Spirit Sword (D)]

[Level: D]

[Superpower: Seven Killings Empress (Number ???)]

[Superman's Evolution Level: 30%]

[Sage Evolution Level: 30%]

Evolution Points: 474950

With 5000 evolution points added to his account, his total points are approaching 50.

However... while the evolution points are sufficient, it's hard to say whether 50 will be enough to buy mind control items that can control B-level players, plus expenses such as purchasing safe houses and settling down.

'That's not enough; we need as many evolution points as possible. We need to find an opportunity to grab more... and accumulate more.'

As Cao Yu made his decision, he glanced at the system panel:
[Achievement Points: 95350]

Because he received an "A+" rating, his achievement points increased by another 5000, bringing him close to 10.

This,

This is just the beginning.

The number of players in Tianhuan City at node 09 is far greater than that of remote places like the Federation.

He could amass hundreds of thousands of achievement points in the Federation, so if he were to make a name for himself in Tianhuan City, he could spread his reputation throughout all the districts of Node 09, with Tianhuan City as the center.

Just like the Celestial Star Royal Family.

At that time, his reputation will accumulate to an extremely high number.

The massive amount of achievement points that come with it should allow him to exchange for the highest-grade genetic bloodline and truly embark on the path of pursuing all three paths simultaneously... No, his system will be updated, and there may be new changes when he reaches C-level.

Taking all three routes, it shouldn't take that long.

Thinking about this, Cao Yu became somewhat excited and expectant.

The bigger the stage, the better for him.

He reached out and gently beckoned to Xiao Qi, who was bored and doing somersaults not far away.

Xiao Qi teleported back to his shoulder.

"You stinky grass carp, you've gotten all excited on your own," Xiao Qi teased.

She seems to still be sulking, concerned about her current role as a mere tool.

Cao Yu patted her head and smiled:
"Let's go. It's time to conquer the new world."
