Chapter 2374 The Target
“However, you should be prepared for the fact that invading a high-tier world passage is extremely rare. We can only escort one person at most, and we won’t be able to provide much assistance there.”
“I understand. Just getting me through is enough. Thank you,” Fang Heng replied, glancing at the game hint time. “Qingran, I have other matters to attend to and can’t stay here for long. If you receive any updates, please contact me immediately. I’ll be on my way.”
After a brief discussion, Li Qingran returned to the conference hall.
Seeing Li Qingran return alone, the attendees cast questioning looks her way.
Once Li Qingran took her seat, Shi Lipeng asked, “Did Mr. Fang Heng not return? I thought there might have been some misunderstandings between us, and I hope we can clear them up. With the current threat, we can’t afford any discord among the undead faction players.”
“There’s no issue,” Li Qingran replied. “Fang Heng has no grievances against us. He’s simply someone who prefers to work alone and is not used to team coordination. We might have opportunities to collaborate with him again in the future. I’ve agreed to provide some assistance to Fang Heng, as long as it doesn’t interfere with our plans.”
“Alright, if there’s any need, just let us know, as long as it doesn’t affect our operations,” Shi Lipeng responded. He then inquired, “Do you know what Fang Heng’s next steps will be?”
“I’m not entirely sure, but it seems he plans to take action in a high-tier game world of the Holy Court.”
A high-tier world?!
Hearing Li Qingran’s words, the attendees at the conference table exchanged uneasy glances, their thoughts clouded with doubt.
They had been deliberating for hours on strategies limited to mid-tier game worlds. What did it mean for Fang Heng to directly target a high-tier world?
Shi Lipeng felt a flicker of annoyance. Was Fang Heng suggesting that their carefully crafted plans for a mid-tier world were beneath him? Did he find their goals too insignificant, as if only a high-tier world was worth his time?
It seemed rather dismissive.
Shi Lipeng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. As long as Fang Heng’s actions didn’t disrupt the undead faction’s current operations, he was free to pursue his objectives.
…
Advanced game world-Tapetel
Tapetel was one of the high-tier game worlds where the Holy Court’s influence was deeply entrenched. The Holy Court controlled over eighty percent of the continent’s dominant forces, with ninety percent of the population being devout followers.
Using a small teleportation gemstone, Fang Heng had transported himself into this world.
[Hint: The player has used a directional teleportation stone to enter the world-Tapetel.]
[Hint: The player is currently using an unknown method to invade the world. There is a high probability that initial interactions with world characters will be influenced by the initial favorability rating.]
[Hint: The remaining time for teleportation is 24 hours. The player must use the teleportation gemstone (small directional teleportation gemstone can only be used in a non-combat state) to exit the world within 24 hours or use other means to leave the world. If not completed, default death.]
[Hint: The player has crossed the world boundary. The tracking team dispatched by the Holy Realm would attempt to re-lock the player’s position in 9+15 hours (additional time due to the artifact’s skill).]
As the game hints faded, Fang Heng slowly opened his eyes and looked at the two figures in front of him.
They were two necromancy mages dressed in gray robes.
To the Holy Court, despite their control over more than 80% of the continent’s power, there were always shadows lurking behind the light.
Necromancy and various smaller factions, disliked by the Holy Court, had been secretly developing in the remaining 20% of the territory.
In the dimly lit cave, the two players from the Necromancer Association glanced at Fang Heng and nodded slightly, “Fang Heng, I’m Ryan, and this is Wallace. Li Qingran sent us to meet you here.”
Fang Heng nodded in return and replied, “Senior Qingran should have mentioned me to you. I don’t have much time to stay here, only 24 hours. Has everything been prepared?”
The two exchanged glances and replied, “We’ve reviewed the relevant information in advance. Given the tight timeline, we can’t gather the materials on our own, so we need you to complete a task first.”
“Understood. Li Qingran briefed me on this. Let’s get started immediately.”
“Follow us, please.”
The two necromancy players had recently received a commission from Li Qingran, instructing them to assist Fang Heng in executing significant operations in this world. They were provided with a materials list that seemed endless.
The lengthy list left them feeling overwhelmed.
After all, the necromancy players barely managed to survive in this world. How could they possibly gather so many materials with just the two of them?
Upon leaving the underground passage, Ryan explained the current situation of their undead faction to Fang Heng, “Fang Heng, over 80% of the nations in this world follow the Holy Court, which means we, the undead, can only develop in the shadows of some peripheral areas.”
“Currently, we are at the border of the Kingdom of Horus. The Kingdom of Horus is a small nation that has recently been re-established. It survives amidst the larger neighboring countries. The fall of this nation was related to the Holy Court, so the Kingdom has an intense hatred towards them.”
“Taking advantage of this situation, we have developed on a small scale within the Kingdom of Horus. Additionally, to strengthen itself, the Kingdom has attracted many forces hostile to the Holy Court.”
“At this stage, we are still in the process of building our strength. The tasks we have received from the undead faction are mostly focused on gathering intelligence in this world.”
Ryan and Wallace had come to this forsaken place primarily because they had accepted a mission from the undead faction.
Otherwise, this place had no cultivation resources and was hostile to the Holy Court, making it impossible for ordinary undead players to survive.
Wallace had heard that Fang Heng wanted to deliver a significant blow to the Holy Court here, though he wasn’t sure how exactly he planned to do it. Therefore, he had prepared a warning in advance, saying, “Overthrowing the Kingdom of Horus’s regime is not part of our considerations. It wouldn’t be good for concealing our identities.”
“Understood,” Fang Heng nodded, “Let’s talk about the mission.”
“We have informed the King of the Kingdom of Horus about your intention to completely destroy the Holy Court’s Descent ritual temple. The King is willing to provide support, but he needs to confirm that what we are saying is true.”
Ryan looked at Fang Heng and nodded, “The King needs us to first prove that we have the strength to annihilate the Holy Court.”
In fact, not only the King but even Ryan and Wallace were eager to see what kind of abilities this player, who had come from an elementary game, possessed to dare make such bold claims.
