Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 294 A Smile at Our Meeting

Half an hour later, when Li Wei, Li Yue, Zhao Guozhu, and Zhao Xuanxuan returned to the camp, the battle here was nearing its end. Without a special BOSS to drive them away, the mutated creatures that came to attack would not come in an endless stream.

As of now, the camp has donated a total of 45 four-star universal gold cards, used two for supplies, but still has 10 universal gold cards left for Li Wei to handle.

All I can say is that the radiation storm at this highest difficulty level is truly dangerous, but the rewards are also incredibly high.

This time, Li Wei did not hesitate. He stepped forward, took the ten universal gold cards, and exchanged them all for black iron tokens. So many free people were still starving for food.

It is worth mentioning that, thanks to Liang Yuzhi's presence and the availability of the all-purpose gold card to replenish their stamina, no free civilians were killed in the nearly one-hour monster siege battle.

Each of them reaped considerable rewards; every battle provided experience, increased their destiny in a particular profession, and various contributions.

When everyone entered the building to rest, Liang Yuzhi was the first to greet them. She first carefully checked Li Wei to make sure he was alright, and then looked at Li Yue with a relieved smile. Li Yue felt the same way. Although they had once wished they could stab each other three hundred times a day, now there was a moment of mutual respect, provided that Li Wei was the link between them.

"Second Aunt, I really have to thank you for turning the tide in that battle just now."

Li Wei then spoke sincerely.

That's right, that's fair. If Liang Yuzhi hadn't become a first-tier spellcasting witch, she wouldn't have been able to detect the giant python knight, who was also a spellcaster. The other party wasn't in a hurry to attack; they just needed to keep driving the mutated creatures to besiege the city while they leisurely strengthened their phantoms outside. After 108 hours, they would be the fully developed ultimate BOSS, capable of destroying the camp and slaughtering everyone in one go.

Therefore, Li Wei was still shaken at the moment, and he really didn't plan to attempt such a high-difficulty challenge again for the next two years.

This time, we really benefited from Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue's help. Of course, the two of them must also be feeling lingering fear and apprehension.

It can be said that this great victory was due to the three of them working together seamlessly and in perfect harmony, as well as the advantages they had accumulated in the early stages. They won't be able to replicate this success in the second or third year.

If two more slackers like Old John and Annie the Slacker appear then, they could really be a death sentence at a crucial moment.

"Xiaowei, we're family, no need to be so polite!" Liang Yuzhi smiled happily.

"Second Aunt, there's something I'd like to ask you." At this moment, Li Yue took Liang Yuzhi's arm and pulled Li Wei with her other hand, and went straight to the fifth floor.

Li Wei then reached out and pulled Zhao Xuanxuan along. He knew what was going on, so he figured one more wouldn't make a difference.

As for Zhao Guozhu, after being given a warning look by Li Yue, he immediately understood and obediently went to the side, but in reality, his heart was already in turmoil.

Yes, now that things have come to this, the truth is out. All that talk about Cyril and the Wheel General was a hoax. Everyone was fooled, including Night Owl, the Ministry of Commerce, and several other departments.

Is Li Wei a gigolo?

That was clearly someone whose overall combat strength could rival that of a five-star cross-border player, and most importantly, his next goal was already obvious.

Ugh!
As expected of a once-in-a-century rookie king, Scarface Glen is truly finished this time!

At that moment, in Li Wei's room on the fifth floor, as soon as the door closed, Liang Yuzhi released a kind of magical force field, the effect of which was equivalent to a five-star conspiracy card.

"Congratulations, little sister. So, you got the rare scout card?"

At this moment, Liang Yuzhi couldn't wait to ask, because Li Yue was a scout before, but that five-star scout card was lost, so logically, she should choose the rare scout card.

“It’s not the rare scout card, I chose the rare knight card.” Li Yue smiled slightly.

"What? A rare knight card? Does that mean you're going to go for the Shadow Knight sequence?" Liang Yuzhi was taken aback. Although it was not bad, she still felt it wasn't perfect.

"Yes, I am currently a Tier 1 Shadow Knight. I will obtain the Shadow Knight Card after reaching Tier 3. As for why, there are many factors, but one of the most important factors is that I am thinking that I can team up with Li Wei to cross borders in the future. Otherwise, two Shadow Rangers definitely cannot team up."

As she said this, Li Yue smiled happily at Li Wei. It was a last-minute decision, unrelated to anything else, because she felt very reassured about cooperating with Li Wei.

Liang Yuzhi didn't think much of it, but said, "Then you'll have to wait. Although Li Wei is very strong now, his foundation in all aspects is very weak. It's really not advisable for him to accelerate his advancement any further. At 4+4+3+1, he's barely stuck outside the cross-border mission. He needs to settle down for a while. In addition, he must take enough time to build up his territory, refresh his destiny, title, code name, and some weapons and equipment. It will easily take five or six years."

"It's okay, there will always be opportunities to team up. In fact, neither of us will be carrying out cross-border missions for the next five years, and we will still need to find ways to make up for our shortcomings and be very busy. But that's all for the future. Right now, I'm going to give you a gift as a reward for your help this time."

"Oh? The sun rose from the west, how rare!" Liang Yuzhi was slightly taken aback, and even wondered if Li Yue had taken the wrong medicine.

But when Li Yue took out the Illusionary Heart, she was still stunned. She recognized the thing, or rather, the aura emanating from it was enough to move her heart.

"This—this dropped by the special boss just now? Are you out of your mind? Are you still Little Poison Scorpion? You—you gave me this? No, no, no, I'm afraid you'll get me killed!"

Liang Yuzhi was so excited that she was almost incoherent. Li Yue gave a disdainful sneer and said nothing.

A few seconds later, Liang Yuzhi took a deep breath, looked at Li Yue with complicated eyes, then at Li Wei, and finally sighed, "You've changed."

"I haven't changed, but I have indeed changed. After such a calamity, if I remain stubborn, the future will likely end the same way. So I will treat Li Wei as a trustworthy person, and I will also try to treat you, this old hag, as a half-trustworthy person. In short, think what you want. Even if you continue to betray me in the future, I won't be surprised. That's all. Um, Zhao Xuanxuan has a heart of stone. Help her choose a path. You're good at that."

After saying that, Li Yue pushed open the door and left, still as proud and aloof as ever.

However, this can be seen as giving Liang Yuzhi a way out. She really didn't want to be on friendly terms with this old bitch and have a deep affection for her; just thinking about it made her feel disgusted.

"spit!"

Liang Yuzhi spat, her expression returning to normal, but after putting away the Illusionary Heart, she never mentioned the matter again. Her feud with the Poison Scorpion was between them, and others should not be curious or pry. But this time, it truly was a case of reconciliation and forgiveness.

And all of this was because of Li Wei.

"Heart of Stone, you little piece of trash, you have your day too. Give me the Heart of Stone, let me appraise it for you."

Zhao Xuanxuan obediently took it out. She held the item in her hand without any information or instructions, and didn't even know how to use it. It clearly needed to be appraised.

Next, Liang Yuzhi took the Heart of Stone, which was only the size of a wine cup. No one knew how she operated it, but in a short while, the Heart of Stone suddenly shone brightly, and the rich magic power was almost uncontrollably overflowing.

"Hurry up, you little trash. Are you planning to use the Heart of Stone to enhance your Destiny title, or to enhance your Enchantment Hammer? You only have these two choices."

"I choose the Destiny Title."

Zhao Xuanxuan wasn't stupid; her destiny title was extremely important.

Before she could finish speaking, Liang Yuzhi roared out a long string of strange and complicated incantations. Then, with a loud bang, the entire room was enveloped in light, and Li Wei next to her was almost blinded by the light.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Liang Yuzhi with sweat on her forehead, sitting on the ground looking quite disheveled, while Zhao Xuanxuan looked pleasantly surprised.

"Don't thank me, don't say a word, get out, and get lost!"

Zhao Xuanxuan nodded obediently, her face still beaming with undisguised joy, clearly having gained a great deal.

"Second Aunt, are you alright?"

Li Wei quickly helped Liang Yuzhi up.

"What could possibly be wrong with me? It's all just an act for her to see, so she'll be even more devoted to you in the future." Liang Yuzhi's tone was indifferent, and her expression suddenly became calm, leaving Li Wei dumbfounded. Could it be that she's playing tricks in this place?

Then Liang Yuzhi continued, "This time, Li Yue and I can leave one of us at home, and the other one can come with you. What do you think?"

Huh?
Have you changed your mind?
Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi had previously hinted that their collaboration was coming to an end.

However, if it were before this battle, Li Wei would have been really happy, but now, there's no need for that.

"Second Aunt, you can stay at the camp without worry. I'll handle everything else myself."

"Sure?"

"I'm sure. I have to prove myself. It's too much trouble if I don't show my fangs and let others know how hard my fists are. So this battle can only be fought by myself. This is also a challenge and a way for me to surpass myself."

"After this battle, I will try to keep a low profile for the next two years. It doesn't matter whether I can get the top spot on the leaderboard or not. You are right, the future development of the territory and the formation of the future pattern all depend on laying the foundation at this time."

"In addition, Aunt, your situation and Xiaoyue's situation are not very good either. You only have five years. After five years, you will be entering a cross-border mission again. Don't repeat the same mistakes."

Li Wei explained it very clearly, and Liang Yuzhi listened carefully. Finally, she nodded and said, "Alright, actually Li Yue and I can reapply for territory missions in the future, but those will have to be four-star territory missions. Anyway, you don't need to worry about us. Now that I have the Heart of Illusion, I can easily reach the second-tier spellcasting witch level within three years."

"And does that little bitch Li Yue have a poisonous heart hidden in her hands?"

"Yes."

"That's settled then. The Shadow Knight is a class similar to a Spellcaster, equally powerful. They are proficient in archery, horsemanship, and swordsmanship, and can also practice spearmanship. In addition, they are skilled in stealth, ambush, and poisoning, and can also have hunting pets, making them a very strong main combat class."
