In the world of the Endless Sea, there is a castle with a courtyard full of laurel trees.

Huang Yanyan locked the bedroom door and placed a short gray-white clay pot on the dressing table.

This short clay pot is not big and can be enclosed by both hands. Its shape is quite similar to the incense burner in the player world.

But unlike the incense burner, the gray-white pottery pot is covered with fire-like patterns using black paint, and is also covered with a lid made of the same pottery.

There was a wind blowing at noon in midsummer. The hot wind blew into the room and disturbed the white muslin curtains covered with osmanthus patterns.

Huang Yanyan walked to the window and looked out the window cautiously.

Seeing nothing strange, she closed the window, drew the curtains, and returned to sit in front of the dressing table.

It's noon now, and it's time for the scheduled communication.

Huang Yanyan opened the lid of the clay pot in front of him, and the fire-seal orb placed in the clay pot immediately emitted a scorching fire light.

The Fire Seal Orb is a round plate made of gold. Many flames are carved on the plate, and they together guard a line of ancient text.

In the middle of the ancient text, a purple-gold shining bead is inlaid.

This is a relic that can be used to deliver letters. The price is that every time it is used, a piece of non-aquatic raw meat must be sacrificed.

This is a relic artificially made by veteran players through forging technology.

Huang Yanyan glanced at the brass clock nearby, and then put a palm-sized piece of beef into the clay pot.

The next moment.

Real flames burned on the Fire Seal Orb, and the aroma of barbecue wafted in the room.

Then, from the dancing flames and flying sparks, a letter gradually solidified and appeared.

Suddenly, it was blown high by the heat generated by the flames, and then fell to the table of the dressing table.

After receiving the letter, Huang Yanyan immediately put the lid on the clay pot. The beating flame immediately became quiet and the heat disappeared.

Huang Yanyan picked up the letter. Her name in this world was written on the envelope, and the sender was Qi Heng.

Qi Heng was one of the previous players before Huang Yanyan, and he was also the squad leader of the Player World Research Institute.

Players who officially join the institute will receive a relic made by veteran players from the institute - the Fire Seal Orb.

And use it to transfer information to each other in the game world.

Opening the letter, it contained the latest information obtained by squad leader Qi Heng.

"Hello Yanyan, the information ends at 12 noon on August 1.

Last night I followed my mentor to the Royal City, and the news I heard was that Faranir's notes had been found.

At this moment it is being presented to the king by the kestrel of the Earth Ring.

Just like what you heard, I also heard that the secret of becoming a demigod is recorded in the notes.

But in addition, I also heard some extremely beneficial news for us players.

In that notebook, the method for upgrading secret treasures was also recorded.

As you know, whether as players or as a research institute, we have been stuck in the inability to obtain higher-level secret treasures.

This is also the key to restricting our promotion.

So I will try my best to find out what is in the notes.

My advisor is also hungry for notes, and I might be able to leverage that connection.

However, this may take some time.

Please inform the players in the same batch through the chat channel not to give up all the fused secret treasures easily, because it is very likely that they can continue to be upgraded.

As for the method of upgrading the secret treasure, I will inform you as soon as I know the contents of the note.

The Abyss camp has no demand for secret treasures, so you can announce the upgrade method in the chat channel.

There is one last thing, please tell player No. 67.

Let him never try to do the promotion tasks rewarded by the system.

Judging from the experience of the seniors, the reward of directly improving one level is very tempting, but the task is too difficult. No senior has ever completed it, and it is impossible to complete it.

Therefore, don't let No. 67 take risks and let him continue to choose a safer way to be promoted. "

In the bright and sunny bedroom, Huang Yanyan read the letter and then burned it.

Looking out the window at the green laurel trees, and recalling the scene of the demon attacking Wind's Breath City that day, Huang Yanyan couldn't help but marvel:

‘Were Faranir’s notes found so quickly?

If even the devil couldn't find something, who would find it? ’

It suddenly occurred to me that the person named Rhine was the one that young girls talked about the most recently.

Could it be him?

‘It’s impossible. It is said that he is only a first-level hunter. How could he do this? ’

Huang Yanyan shook her head, and then thought of the king's identity as a free man in front of the Sea Throne.

Because of this identity, many girls in the city and their parents almost went crazy about it.

Without him, because of this identity, the man named Rhine had a place in the king's hall of dignitaries.

He is definitely the best candidate for a husband now.

Thinking of this Huang Yanyan couldn't help curling her lips.

She always felt that instead of believing that Rhine had the ability to defeat demons, it was more reliable to say that he was an illegitimate son of the kingdom living among the people.

Though his thoughts were thousands of miles away, they only lasted for a moment. After complaining in his heart, Huang Yanyan put the matter of Rhine behind him.

She opened the chat channel and looked through the chat history, but there was still no comment from player No. 67.

Worry arose in my heart again.

Qi Heng was right. The promotion tasks rewarded by the system were too difficult, almost forcing players to die.

Over the past 50 years, among all players on record, only two have completed the fourth cycle mission and received this reward promotion mission.

One is an old player from three years ago, and the other is the captain Qi Heng.

Once upon a time, the old player three years ago tried to complete that task. After all, the reward of being directly promoted to a higher level was too tempting.

But when he investigated the game world, he found that it was impossible for him to complete that task.

Later, he returned to the player world and informed the institute of the situation, hoping to get help from the institute.

It's about the safety of the player world, so of course the institute agrees and will use all its resources to help him.

But in the end, that player with outstanding personal abilities died in that mission.

Later, when Qi Heng received the promotion reward task, the institute immediately analyzed the task content.

But the final conclusion was that Qi Heng should give up the task directly and only use the safest way to be promoted.

So far.

Even if the institute doesn't know the content of player No. 67's promotion mission, it must first tell him not to do that dangerous mission to avoid losing his life.

So last night, when the leader of the institute asked Huang Yanyan to tell player No. 67 about this through the chat channel.

Huang Yanyan immediately mentioned this matter in the chat channel.

But.

From last night to noon today, more than ten hours have passed, but the player No. 67 has not responded.

Didn't you watch the chat channel? Or have you encountered any danger?

Huang Yanyan was a little worried about player No. 67. After all, he was the player most likely to complete the next progress task.

Thinking of the progress mission, Huang Yanyan remembered that all of his second-level golden elephant secret treasures had not yet been integrated.

Then, she took out some wooden amulets from the drawer of the dresser.

After placing the talismans one by one, Huang Yanyan began to bless the talismans while standing in front of the chat channel, waiting for player No. 67 to appear.

Weak golden light circulated among the wooden talismans. Huang Yanyan, who was casting a blessing spell, suddenly thought of Li Feng.

'Alas - he has been writing for ten years and has written about countless time-travelers, but he could not have imagined that all real time-travelers would be so unlucky.

I really don’t know how Li Feng would deal with all this if he became a player. Would he be like the protagonist in his novel? ’

Suddenly, Huang Yanyan was startled by her own thoughts.

'It's better for him to stay away from all this. It's too dangerous to become a player. Li Feng must not become a player. ’

It was because of the relationship between my parents that I wanted to figure this out and end it.

As for Li Feng, it is better to live a normal life peacefully.

The summer wind blows by, and the flowers and leaves of the laurel tree outside the window sway, raising pieces of fragrance.

The blessing spell in her hand slowed down unconsciously, and Huang Yanyan's thoughts drifted back to the past, when she and Li Feng were sitters in the game, killing everyone.

That period was her happiest time after her parents died and she became an orphan.

Later, whenever there were new games, Huang Yanyan would share and discuss them with Li Feng.

Huang Yanyan couldn't help but smile when she thought of this. People who have the same hobbies around her are always happy.

Over the years, games have been a constant topic between them.

And now, I have discovered a new game. This game has a grand world view, is well-made, and has real content.

It's the kind Li Feng likes.

But I can never share this game with him again.

Moreover, because of his special player status and various contents that need to be kept secret, he and Li Feng will only drift apart from now on.

Thinking of this, Huang Yanyan sighed deeply.

Then her thoughts changed and she thought that as long as Li Feng could live a stable and happy life, wouldn't it be the best ending?

When I was still young, I was unable to protect my parents, which caused many regrets.

But now, he knows the secrets of the two worlds and has become a first-order, ninth-level transcendent.

Using your ability to protect your playmates from childhood to adulthood is a blessing no matter how you look at it.

With this in mind, Huang Yanyan stopped being distracted and cheered up to continue casting blessing spells.

At noon in summer, the scorching sun shines outside the swaying rail carriage.

Li Feng couldn't calm down for a long time because he found out that a player had been arrested.

Looking at the dazzling sunlight outside the carriage window, he thought he should inform other players about this.

Probably because the official knows the players, and official players are also in the chat channel.

With official support, the current chat channel is no longer lifeless due to the existence of the Abyssal Camp.

From midnight time travel to now, Li Feng has not opened the chat channel.

Looking at the huge number and the rapidly growing number of unread messages, Li Feng realized what the other players were discussing.

Will it be discussing the player's existence and the fact that it has been exposed?

With this in mind, Li Feng opened the chat channel.

But at this time, he was surprised to find that the topic of other players' conversations was him.

: "I'm really worried. Has Boss No. 67 seen the news?"

: "Wait a minute! He hasn't really gone on a promotion mission, right?"

: "No way. Didn't the official say that the task was difficult and that people would die?"

: "The official knows, but No. 67 doesn't know. What if he tries to complete the mission?"

: "I think this system is not well-intentioned. It rewards players who complete tasks with death tasks. Isn't this trying to harm us?"

: "Upstairs, is the system safe?"

: "Hey, what can I do? I have no choice but to lie down. Now I can only point to the official and No. 67 boss to complete the player's mission. I am really afraid of disaster."

: "Who says it's not, but now No. 67 seems to have disappeared. Boss, you should check the chat channel."

: "Oh, I really want to go there on the 67th, but it's a pity that the chat channel doesn't have this function."

After roughly reading the news, Li Feng discovered.

It turns out that since last night, official player No. 97 has been looking for him in the chat channel every hour.

Tell yourself not to do the promotion task rewarded by the system.

Because the official lesson learned from the past is that promotion tasks are too difficult and people will die.

But I have never watched the chat channel, so I don’t know this information yet.

This also caused other players to worry about him.

His thoughts turned back to the death mission mentioned by other players.

‘Gargoyles, the mother of gargoyles, is indeed difficult to hear. ’

But I didn’t have any plans, so I just went to do that task right now.

Now that he had seen the message, Li Feng replied in the chat channel.

0067: "I understand, thank you."

: "Yeah! It's No. 67."

: "Boss, you finally saw it, great!"

Huang Yanyan, who had been staying by the chat channel, also saw Li Feng's message at this moment.

She immediately felt relieved and spoke under her real name.

0097: "Just see it, please contact the official if necessary.

By the way, there’s another thing.”

Next, while No. 67 is here.

Huang Yanyan told other players what captain Qi Heng told her about the secret treasures that could be upgraded.

And asked them not to give up the secret treasures that have been fully integrated easily, and the official is actively looking for ways to upgrade the secret treasures, which will be announced in the group at that time.

As soon as the news came out, the players immediately became energetic.

: "I'll go. If it weren't for the fact that my secret is precious and I can't bear to part with it, otherwise I would have cooked it and eaten it."

: "Upstairs, what is your secret treasure?"

: "Don't panic, you're a street kid, I'm not a pervert."

Players are very happy to know that the secret treasure can be upgraded and the official method will be announced.

But at the same time, some players pointed out.

: "No! Let me tell you something serious. The low-level secret treasures we use now are all made through alchemy, forging, tailoring, etc.

If I want to upgrade them, I think I might also need to use these majors.

But can these majors be something we can master?

And it seems that the official doesn't know how to upgrade the secret treasure yet, and they still have to investigate.

To put it bluntly, by the time the official method is announced, several game cycles have passed.

Where do we have time to learn those techniques, upgrade the secret treasures and then fuse them?

I don’t want to criticize anyone, I just don’t want everyone to be too relaxed and optimistic.

Because a few months ago, I really witnessed the disaster. I didn't know it at the time, but now that I think about it, that disaster was definitely caused by the integration of the two worlds. "

: "What you said upstairs makes sense. I have seen blacksmiths making secret treasures. Those techniques are definitely not something we can learn quickly."

: "Oh my god, I just thought there was hope in life, but you poured it out again with a basin of water."

Because of that player's truth, more players started to become pessimistic again.

Huang Yanyan, who had just announced the upgrade of secret treasures and had been looking at the chat channel, couldn't help but frown deeply at this time.

She knew that the player was right, but...

There is no better news for players.

the other side.

Li Feng, who wanted to say that someone was arresting players, happened to see official players saying that the secret treasures could be upgraded, but players were even more anxious.

Thinking of the notebook that had almost arrived in the royal city, Li Feng spoke anonymously.

: "Low-level secret treasures can be upgraded with inscriptions. The king will announce the upgrade method within the third level soon."

: "???"

: "????"

Li Feng's news stirred up waves among many desperate players.

They could hardly believe what they saw, and they furiously asked questions.

Huang Yanyan, the official player who was watching the chat channel, was completely shocked at this moment.

Look at the words 'Inscription upgrade available, the king will announce it soon' in the chat box.

Huang Yanyan immediately realized that the player who just spoke must also know Faranir's notes.

And it seems that he actually knows the contents of the notes!

how come?

Captain Qi Heng only knew a few things about the notebook because he had traveled to a very advantageous position and was in the royal city.

But this player

Who is he?
