Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Secret Realm Ling Yi wasn’t worried.

In the past few days, he looked into it whenever he was free and out of paranoia. If the players from other districts wanted to affect another district, there were only two ways they could do that: to combine their servers or fight in a district war.

The Union had just failed to combine the two servers. And judging from the response today, it might fail again next week.

Which left the only other option, the district war.

However, district wars were not open to servers in the beginner maps.

Which means… If outsiders wanted to influence the players in District 66, the only way they could currently do so was to combine their servers!

Even if the entire Alliance consisted of level 80 and 90 experts, they couldn’t do anything about it for now.

Ling Yi felt reassured as he recalled this information.

Suddenly, Lin Shurou released a yelp as she stared at her tablet screen. Then she quickly pointed at it, “It’s here, it’s here! The entire Alliance has released a new message!”

Ling Yi’s gaze followed Lin Shurou’s slender fingers. From the forum’s front page to a new post titled “Global Player Alliance”.

He taps on her tablet.

[Notice Regarding the Failure of Joint Server With District 66]

We are sorry to find that most of the players in District 66 are not willing to carry out our decision.

Considering that this was a region that had just been opened for less than a week, this was excusable.

Therefore, after repeated discussion, our group has finally decided to postpone the joint zone plan for a week.

[Announcement End]

After reading the announcement, Ling Yi and Lin Shurou looked at each other.

“This is a good thing, right?” She asked.

“No. This is obviously a ‘we must be united in a week, so don’t you guys be ungrateful’ kind of message.” He replied.

“So if District 66 rejects it again, they’ll certainly be furious,”

“Hehe.” Ling Yi chuckles at the thought of that scene.

However, if they were to think about it seriously, the entire Alliance wouldn’t back down so easily.

Perhaps they would take some measures against the players in District 66 in the main world.

But, it wouldn’t be that easy.

…

At noon, the sun was shining brightly.

The chirping of the birds woke Ling Yi up from his afternoon nap.

He walked down the stairs and saw Lin Shurou watching a drama in the living room.

“I’m heading out,” He said as a greeting instead.

“Alright… Where are you going?”

“I’m going to the neighboring town to do something. I’ll be back in the evening.”

“Be careful.”

“Okay.”

In the early hours of the morning, he had decided to get the [Great Storm] skill.

This skill was not available on the market, so if he wanted to obtain it, he would have to deal with the Wind God Butterfly personally.

However, this level 30 special boss only exists in basic secret realms. So, he had to go to the primary hidden realm in the neighboring town. He had heard that someone had found traces of the Wind God Butterfly there.

The so-called secret realm was just like Black Sky. It was a phenomenon that could appear anywhere in the main world at any time.

If Black Sky’s appearance represented danger, then the appearance of the secret realm represented an opportunity.

They were a special space that had descended into the main world. Similar to the level of the map, they were also divided into beginner, intermediate, advanced, and ultimate.

In a beginner’s secret realm, there would only be monsters between levels 1 to 30. So, only players below level 30 were allowed to enter.

…

Half an hour later, Ling Yi arrived by taxi at Qinghe Park in Shuimu Town.

He got out of the car and immediately saw the entrance to the secret mystic realm floating in the air a hundred meters away.

It was an oval-shaped blazing white ring of light, ten meters tall and five meters wide, floating one or two meters above the ground.

A pink, wave-like band of light around the ring of light added a dreamy, unreal look to it.

Qinghe Park is located right in the center of Shuimu Town. Every day, many people would train and play here.

When Ling Yi walked straight towards the entrance of the secret realm, the people around him all looked at him.

“Wow, he’s a player too, and so young,” The two little girls were conversing with each other, and they looked at Ling Yi with envy.

“Another one came. I don’t know what he’s here for. It’s not safe in the secret realm now…”

“Who cares? We ordinary people should take care of ourselves.”

Just as Ling Yi was about to jump into the realm’s entrance, a white-haired old man with a walking stick on a wooden chair at the side called out to him, “Young man!”

“Yes?” He looked at the old man.

Although the white-haired old man was holding a walking stick, he looked full of energy, and his old eyes were full of light.

If somebody were to say that this old man can run a kilometer, Ling Yi wouldn’t be surprised at all.

“This secret realm isn’t open for entry. I’ve heard that many bad people have run into the city to avoid being caught.” The white-haired old man shook his head and continued, “If you’re not strong enough, I’d advise you not to enter,”

Ling Yi smiled. “Don’t worry, old man. I know what to do,”

As he said that, he jumped in.

Seeing this, the white-haired old man could only sigh helplessly. “Another overconfident young man.”

When the others saw the young man enter, they joked, “Haha, he can still jump in now, but he’ll most likely come out lying down later.”

“It’s also possible that he just doesn’t return.”

“…”

While the other passerby continued to mock him behind his back, Ling Yi entered the white veil. It felt as if he had passed through a dry and wet curtain.

Before fully appreciating this feeling, he heard another person’s voice.

“Hey, young man! Do you want a map for this secret realm?”

Ling Yi blinked his dark eyes and started to scan his surroundings.

Everything around him was covered in rich, green vegetation. The land was into lush grassland under the sun, and giant trees with great vitality grew around it, so tall that their tops could not be seen. It was for this reason that the realm was named “Emerald Forest.”

The weather was warm, and the air was humid.

He could hear the birds chirping nearby and smell the fragrance of the grass on the ground.

Then on the clearing by the secret realm entrance, there was a circle of merchants who had set up stalls.

The person who had just called out to him was on his right, the person closest to him.

“I want it.”

“10 gold coins per piece… A great deal, a great deal.”

After the trade was completed, Ling Yi took the map and was about to leave, but the other merchants noticed how he had paid 10 gold coins without hesitation and began to shout their offers at him.

“Brother, I have some good medicine here. One more bottle is one more guarantee!”

“Do you want an escape tool? Do you want it?”

“A level 30 temporary summoning talisman, one only costs 500 gold coins! 500 gold coins!”

“…”

Ling Yi shook his head and walked straight into the forest.

The group of merchants did not mind. When they saw other players walking behind him, they shouted at them again.

It goes to be said, only level 30 or below players could enter the secret land.

Thus, Ling Yi wasn’t afraid of meeting people he knew. When he entered, he didn’t use anything to cover his face.

He only had one purpose for this trip.

Find the Wind God Butterfly and defeat it to obtain its [Great Storm] skill.

He could use something to cover his face if he meets other players here. That was what he initially thought.

However, when he walked to a remote part of the forest where no one was around, he ended up buying the [Faceless Mask] from the God’s Path store.
