Chapter 1010: Chapter 839: Let’s Have a Gem City Monster Siege

Chun had just lain down on the sofa to rest his eyes when his phone buzzed with a message.

Zhou Qing? Holy shit, she can’t possibly think I was behind the Guardian God incident, can she?

"Brother Chun, are you busy?"

Chun suddenly remembered a joke: when someone starts with ’are you busy’, it’s bound to be sucking up... I mean, it’s a friend!

First, some small talk: "President Zhou, it’s almost 2 AM, and you’re still up?"

Zhou Qing urgently replied, "I was just woken up by the announcement of the Guardian God being killed in Gem City! What’s even crazier is that the Five Scattered People you told us to watch out for last time have appeared; they’re live streaming! They’re at the Arctic site where it happened, caught by the Ten Lords and the Four City Beauties, claiming you sent them..."

Holy Shit~!!

Chun was shocked wide awake and wondered if Mei had inadvertently mentioned his existence to them. But that’s impossible; he’s a Sage with high mission clearance, able to gather intel on other task players from NPCs, but they can’t possibly know him from Mei.

Chun immediately denied: "That’s not true! Where’s their livestream?"

"It’s instantly hit the top headlines, globally ranked number one!"

Chun opened his phone and, unsurprisingly, saw it right away. The headline was terrifying: "Brother Chun Sent Us to Slay a God!"

The livestream seemed to be in a small black room in a prison, with millions of viewers. The video showed a conversation with Raphael on the ocean, with every sentence implicating Chun...

Simply Holy Shit!

Zhou Qing asked, "Brother Chun, this involves intellectual property infringement; we can help negotiate."

But actually, yes, I am responsible!

Chun honestly didn’t know what to say: "If they are convicted of this, their account is probably finished for at least a year, right? It’s tough for scattered players; let them ride on my fame, don’t make it difficult for them."

Zhou Qing laughed, "Brother Chun, you’re so chivalrous. Honestly, when I first heard the news, I thought it was your doing."

Chun quickly responded, "How could that be? If it were me, they’d sell me out in an instant; do you think I’d use such people?"

Zhou Qing laughed, "Actually, the clever part about this is, just with those five, I don’t think they could mix in the Arctic; there must be a huge opportunity. But these people are absolutely secretive and wouldn’t say anything, so they might as well just claim you instructed them to disguise a lot of inexplicable secrets."

Indeed, they’ve hitched onto the Hydrahis mission line, which is already incredible for ordinary players. But since the Water Element is driven by Mei, it’s even more extraordinary.

Chun raised an eyebrow, "You’re indeed sharp, President Zhou! Let them cover it up; after all, the secrets can’t fall into the Ten Lords’ hands...

Zhou Qing laughed, "Alright, well, if anything... never mind, I’ll go sleep first. Brother Chun, take your time, and take care of yourself."

With this going on, Chun couldn’t rest.

He first checked his alt. At this moment, Mei was creating an ice block compartment underwater. As soon as the meteorite iron was placed on it, buoyancy immediately balanced, and the ice block wouldn’t float to the surface. Then, by placing a bunch of ice compartments together, they instantly froze into a large pile, like an egg carton. Then they could be pushed away together.

Mei sure knows how to play.

But on Chun’s distant map, an energy bright spot appeared on the sea surface, the location of the Four City Beauties in the video. Haven’t they returned?

Well, they’re definitely waiting for the Imperial Fleet Mei mentioned; they need an explanation, and I need to hurry as well: "Earth Lotus, step on it!"

"Yes, Father."

Just then, news came from Aileen: "Dear, there’s a discovery!"

Chun immediately switched to look and saw a mirage-like reflection on the screen, vaguely resembling an airship, then it vanished!

Holy shit?

The bat said, "Master... there’s a discovery... the target is moving."

So, this office of Fujalo’s was actually a mobile airship? No wonder it took two hours to find! Seriously, who builds a secret luxury office in the desert ruins? Bringing an RV yacht for mobile office work fits a big shot’s logic better.

I intended to find an office to grab some things, but unexpectedly, it was to get an airship. Can I even sail out of the Empire?

Chun asked, "Can you catch it?"

Bat: "There are space anomalies... quite difficult... but I will try."

Even communication is difficult. If there are guards on the airship, with the bat’s current fatigue state, it would be hard to deal with.

Chun thought it over and decided to gamble: "Just go invisible here and wait; meanwhile, rest and recover. I believe this airship is following a fixed route in a loop."

"Okay, Master."

...

Ten Lords Chat Group.

The Lords first paid attention to the movements of the Mermaid and the five accompanying astrology elder ladies. Normally, with such a major event involving a Guardian God, any sane person would avoid it to steer clear of suspicion, but the Mermaid boldly went straight into the Church.

It’s just too... makes it seem like she’s the one who took down the Guardian God and replaced it.

However, Raphael hasn’t returned to the city yet, we don’t know how her discussions inside are going, but she’ll certainly face challenges.

Then the livestream of the five Chinese players surfaced, which was simply...

Although Sariel immediately suspected their connection to Chun, their flamboyant style makes it unclear whether they’re clowns chasing traffic or purposely being flamboyant to disguise their true intentions.

Then there’s Uriel, who after explaining things to the fleet, committed suicide to resurrect back to Black Dragon City, but unexpectedly, the screen blacked out for nearly a minute during respawning.

This is similar to the symptoms of Gabriel’s soul damage preventing resurrection, causing Uriel to panic immensely.

Fortunately, he finally resurrected, but the death penalty was beyond imagination, nearly paralyzing, with an unknown recovery time! This is obviously related to the overly distant and complex Void mines; after all, Uriel’s trip took him two full days to complete.

It also refreshed the Lords’ understanding that even in a game they developed, there are many changes beyond the original settings.

In any case, Uriel also requested a wheelchair and promptly continued teleporting back to Lost Paradise.

He suddenly realized, being in a wheelchair felt novel and kind of fun?

Upon reaching Lost Paradise, team members were already waiting at the Teleportation Array, with everyone in an uproar: "Boss, is riding a wheelchair now in vogue?"

"But Boss, this wheelchair is too low-end, doesn’t match your status."

Uriel said irritably, "Hurry and push me to the Resurrection Plaza!"

"Don’t worry, boss, there are people at the Resurrection Plaza; the Guardian God hasn’t come down yet."

Uriel asked again, "Any situation in the city?"

"Of course not; if there were, we’d have reported it to you first thing."

Uriel could only be helpless. Relying on these idle young masters to discover any situation? They probably couldn’t even ensure basic online time during his absence from the city.

"By the way, boss, when will we launch the monster siege? Let’s have another wave of something intense and exciting."

Uriel was a bit stunned; they had previously discussed the siege, but only planned to implement it after he returned to the city. Since he had returned early, they could now proceed with it.

Uriel instantly had a plan: "Everyone, how about staging a large-scale siege in Gem City? Let’s see how a city without a Guardian God fares against a siege?"

Sariel got excited, "That’s right; the unprecedented destructiveness will boost the Mermaid’s rise!"
