Chapter 383: Information on the New Mystic Realm, Interlude, Something Happened to the New Moon Islands?

Ji Chen’s relationship with these players was purely transactional, and he had no intention of getting closer to them.
After completing the transaction, Ji Chen planned to have the butler escort them out.
“Butler, please escort these guests for me.”
The butler, who had been waiting at the door, immediately entered and greeted them.
“Guests, please follow me.”
However, they exchanged glances and didn’t pay much attention to the butler. Instead, they looked at Ji Chen.
The player leading the group gritted his teeth and clasped his hands together. “Big Boss Islander, we have something else we’d like to discuss with you.”
Ji Chen raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”
“It’s about some information we came across. We thought you might be interested.”
Information?
Ji Chen pondered for a moment, then waved for the butler to leave.
The butler knew that he was fundamentally associated with the Maple Principality, and it was not appropriate for him to be privy to the confidential matters between Ji Chen and these Lord of Glory players.
He respectfully bowed, closed the door behind him, and had the maid waiting outside temporarily step away.
The player in charge felt somewhat relieved when he saw this, and he glanced at Alice and Verena, who had been standing by.
Ji Chen noticed his gaze and waved it off. “They’re all my people, no need to worry.”
All his people?
Their expressions changed.
They had already spotted these two stunning women, one with an ethereal beauty like a fairy who seemed to have come down from heaven, and the other a captivating, voluptuous mature woman, both radiating an exceptional allure. They initially thought they were native NPC characters!
Never would they have imagined that they were associated with the Big Boss Islander.
Indeed, he lived up to his name of being called a big boss. In just a few months, he had won the affection of such gorgeous women.
Since Ji Chen had spoken so casually about it, they put their worries to rest.
“Well, it’s like this. After we confirmed the location of the transaction with you, we set out for Maple Harbor immediately, right?
On the way here, we unexpectedly stumbled upon a briefly open Mystic Realm Gate in the ocean!”
A Mystic Realm Gate?
A hint of interest appeared on Ji Chen’s face, and he signaled for them to continue.
Seeing this, their spirits lifted, and they continued.
“The entrance to that realm is still in an expanding state, but quite a few monsters have already emerged from it. Among them, there’s one called the Deep Sea Shrimp Soldier. It starts at Tier 4, 9-star, and the lowest level is around 40. They’re quite formidable.
We only took a brief look from a distance and were scared off immediately.
With our strength, even with more time, we might not be able to handle these terrifying monsters. But if it’s you, Big Boss, maybe you could explore this realm…”
The player leading the group spoke somewhat nervously. They had indeed encountered a Mystic Realm Gate on their way here, but did that player not understand the concept of these realms?
A Mystic Realm Gate represented a treasure trove waiting to be unearthed, containing benefits that could make all players covet.
Just like the Blood Sea Mystic Realm that appeared near the Silver Islands, it had a unique resource, the Golden Tree, which could stably produce rare crystal resources, making it highly sought after.
At that time, they had been excited about the extraordinary luck of stumbling upon a Mystic Realm Gate. However, when they saw the monsters emerging from it, their excitement turned into sheer fright, almost causing them to wet themselves.
Monsters starting at Tier 4, 9-star at the lowest level.
What a nightmare!
Although the allure of this Mystic Realm was undeniable, they possessed a significant strength—self-awareness.
Discovering it didn’t mean they could defeat its inhabitants.
Even with five more years of preparation, they might not be able to handle such powerful monsters. Moreover, the Mystic Realm Gate was only temporarily open; who knew when it might close?
So, instead of keeping this information to themselves, they decided to treat it as valuable intelligence and sell it, hoping to gain a substantial profit in the short term and soar to greater heights.
Subconsciously, they thought of the best potential buyer for this information Big Boss Islander.
As one of the renowned strong players with considerable wealth, he could certainly afford the price of this information. Moreover, strong players usually had the demeanor to handle such transactions without resorting to pressuring for information without payment.
But since they had only seen him in chat channels and forums and never met him in person, they still felt a bit anxious.
At this moment, Ji Chen’s interest had been piqued. He had explored two realms in the past, each yielding significant returns.
Particularly in the Skeleton Realm, he not only obtained a 7-star treasure by defeating the Skeleton King Solin Horton but also opened up Krieg Theredell’s Laboratory, rescuing Elin Apocalis and Thotmudo. This directly or indirectly resulted in substantial gains.
No one understood better than Ji Chen how much profit could be gained from these realms.
Without hesitation, Ji Chen took out five wooden boxes, each containing ten thousand gold coins.
He casually threw them onto the table, and a small handful of gleaming coins spilled out.
The dull thud as they hit the table immediately sent a shiver down their spines, and the sight of those shiny gold coins made their eyes light up with eagerness.
There was definitely a substantial amount of gold inside those boxes!
“This is the upfront payment. If you provide all the information about this Mystic Realm Gate, including its location, the number of monsters, and everything else, these coins are yours.
After 1 confirm the details and it checks out, there will be another sum of gold.” Oh my!
Ten thousand gold coins? And this is just the upfront payment?
The Big Boss Islander was exceptionally generous!
The five of them exchanged glances, and the excitement in each other’s eyes was palpable.
This time, they had hit the jackpot.
They quickly spoke, “The location of the temporarily opened Mystic Realm is
right here, on the sea surface not far from Maple Harbor….”
