Zhao Ziqi plopped down next to Zhang Ming.

"It's all tears of bitterness, but what about Lü Mingming?"

"I'm going to buy groceries and drinks. It's been a few days since we got together. Let's meet up at the top of the hour tonight."

Zhao Ziqi nodded. At times like these, having a little wine to relax and relieve stress is certainly a good idea.

"That's good."

The television was playing an urban comedy, with familiar actors and a familiar plot, and Zhang Ming was watching with great interest.

The two sat there and watched TV for a while.

Zhang Ming glanced at Zhao Ziqi beside him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"You've run into trouble."

"Lu Mingming really has a fast tongue."

"He's not quick to speak. If you wait to tell me, that would take forever."

"ha."

Zhao Ziqi gave an awkward laugh.

All I can say is that Brother Zhang truly lives up to his reputation as a reclusive genius; his judgment of people is spot on.

On the surface, he was hesitant and had some ideas, but given his personality, he might not be able to actually ask Zhang Ming for a loan.

Zhang Ming picked up the remote control, pointed his thumb at the TV, and pressed pause.

The large living room suddenly became quiet.

"I don't know anything about the S-rank secret realm, Ashlands. I don't have a guide or a good solution. In the end, it's up to you to figure it out."

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

Zhao Ziqi spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, not believing he couldn't pass the level, as he also held many trump cards in his hand.

It's true that S-level secret realms are difficult, but my strength is definitely top-tier among superhumans of the same level!

"You're really good at staying calm and collected in this kind of situation." Zhang Ming leaned back on the sofa and looked at Zhao Ziqi.

He pulled an object from his large pocket—a dark brown wooden box, which turned out to be a rare treasure: the Jack's Compass!

"then."

Zhao Ziqi raised his hand, and with a snap, the familiar weight and the familiar touch made him feel unreal as he held it in his hand!

Recalling the trial I entered the Dark Forest half a month ago, I was empty-handed, and it was with this that I finally passed the highest difficulty trial.

Holding the Jack Compass again after more than half a month, and looking at Zhang Ming who was smiling calmly beside him, he was deeply moved. This was a rare treasure, a priceless object far exceeding that of ordinary items.

"Brother Zhang..."

"Meeting was fate, this is friendship, no charge."

"If I were a beautiful woman, I would definitely offer myself to her!" Zhao Ziqi joked.

Zhang Ming rolled his eyes and said, "I've done many things in my life, but finding a woman is impossible."

Zhao Ziqi was very surprised.

According to the character list, Brother Zhang is quite old, not young at all, but surprisingly he's still single.

"By the way, Brother Zhang, can you watch something for me?"

Zhao Ziqi took out the Crown of the Moon, a pure and flawless silver ring, like a gemstone, with a miniature version of the Silver Moon Sword embedded in its surface.

When handing the ring to Zhang Ming, he said, "I can't tell its quality, and I don't know how to use it."

"Hmm." Zhang Ming took the ring, squinted his eyes, and examined it carefully, looking at it with great concentration.

More than a minute later.

Zhang Ming pinched the ring between two fingers and said in a calm voice.

"To the naked eye, its material is ordinary, but it appears extraordinary because it contains supernatural energy. Its quality is roughly between the extraordinary and the legendary."

The value is decent, but far less than the legendary weapon depicted on the ring.

"Just somewhere between the extraordinary and the legendary?" Zhao Ziqi found it strange. How could the treasure that the Flame Demon Surtur wanted to seize be of lower quality than the Silver Moon Sword?

At this point, Zhang Ming changed the subject.

"But this is only what the naked eye sees. In my opinion, this ring is special. First, it is not complete; it is incomplete. Second, some kind of aura obscures it, and its true quality is epic."

"It's pretty much what I guessed, but it's incomplete and the aura it's hiding is something I couldn't tell."

Zhang Ming pursed his lips. "It's perfectly normal that you can't tell."

After all… I didn’t see it myself; I had only seen its true appearance by chance a long time ago.

"You obtained this ring during the trial. The Ashlands may be related to it. Keep it safe and be careful, it might come in handy at a crucial moment."

After saying that, Zhang Ming returned the ring to Zhao Ziqi.

The Crown of the Moon ring was acquired again. Its surface was smooth and cool, exceptionally comfortable. Zhao Ziqi thought to himself, "Brother Zhang truly lives up to his reputation as a reclusive master."

Currently, the purpose and information of this ring are unclear because it is being concealed by an aura. Once the concealing aura is dispelled, it will be able to perform its intended function.

As for the ring being incomplete, what is missing? That can only be explored in the future.

Just then.

The door opened, and Lü Mingming walked in carrying chilled fruit beer, saying, "The food is all in the storage space. Here you are, let's plate it up!"

That night, the three of them drank until after 3 a.m.

Drinking, chatting, and watching movies was quite enjoyable, allowing us to temporarily forget about the Ashes Lands.

In the blink of an eye.

The date is May 12th.

Night had fallen in Lü Mingming's home.

In Zhao Ziqi's temporary bedroom.

Zhao Ziqi was alone in the room. He was about to begin the trial in the secret realm - the Ash Land. He had already said what needed to be said and done what needed to be done.

Not wanting to create an awkward atmosphere, he simply stayed in his room alone, waiting for the trial to begin.

Zhao Ziqi's various trump cards were displayed on the computer desk.

The Flower Goddess Fruit lay quietly on the table. Compared to a few days ago, it had changed again, resembling a ginseng fruit, with a bright red color all over. It looked like a delicately carved little girl, very cute.

Zhao Ziqi picked it up and placed it in his palm, feeling its warmth and the immense life force it contained; it was about to complete its hatching.

The fairy flower Nono is about to be born, but... at this critical juncture, it's clear she won't make it in time.

"What a pity." Zhao Ziqi felt regretful. If Hua Nuonuo could have hatched earlier, her profession would have been a life-giving being. If she could have entered the secret realm with him, it would have been equivalent to having a wet nurse by his side.

After placing it into his storage space, Zhao Ziqi put the Moon Crown Ring on his left index finger, along with the Mystic Pearl, Jack's Compass, and the Strange Item Reservation Scroll, into his storage space.

At last.

Zhao Ziqi thought to himself, "Check the panel."

The career panel appears before your eyes.

"7 unallocated attribute points and 1 ability point, which can be used as an emergency measure."

Zhao Ziqi stared at the red countdown in front of him.

[10 seconds remaining until entering the S-rank Secret Realm - Ashlands.]

it has started.

"bring it on."

Zhao Ziqi grasped the thunder musket placed on the table, holding its thick, comfortable handle, and stood up.

The countdown has begun.

5, 4, 3...

Raising his thunderclap musket, Zhao Ziqi was fully prepared for this moment! He was filled with excitement and anticipation.
