Chapter 26 The Great Changes in the World
Chapter 26 The Great Changes in the World
"Everything that happened at the Horror Amusement Park—the people you saw, the truth about our imprisonment, the Black Robe Society's dark dealings, including that guest...all of it, once you return to your world, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely must not be revealed to anyone. Otherwise...your world will be destroyed, just like what you're seeing now!"
This is the second day after returning to reality from the ferry.
Shen Ye, who had a good night's sleep, woke up to a whisper in his ear.
The effects of excessively high pollution levels do exist, but they are only superficial and do not cause any real harm.
even...
Shen Ye was eating breakfast on the street when he looked at the sunrise in the distance and wanted to take out his phone to take a picture.
The photos that appeared all showed signs of blood.
The people on the street had all turned into corpses, each corpse connected to the void by a black line.
It was as if... it corresponded to the final death line I saw.
"It's unknown... It's always been there, but the pollution level makes it clearer to me."
Shen Ye calmly looked at the legendary ring, "Crimson Dawn Moon." The bright red crescent-shaped jadeite shimmered with a mysterious and noble aura in the dim light.
When I looked up again, the image slowly returned to normal.
This ring also has another function: it can ward off bad luck.
It seems that almost everything is somehow related to pollution.
The Black Robe Society, the Kingdom of Dawn, mysterious guests, human trafficking, the threat to destroy the world... the waters of the horror amusement park run deeper than you can imagine.
Shen Ye needs power, he needs to digest the "potential" brought by this pollution value as soon as possible, he needs to figure out the rules of the world's operation and understand the vastness of the God Cube.
He checked his phone; there was still some time before his appointment with Mu Yunhai.
"Let's run there."
"Let's test it out while we're at it."
Shen Ye allocated 6 of his 10 evolution points to stamina and the remaining 4 points equally to strength and agility.
His stamina is now completely different, and his strength and speed have also improved.
These things don't really play a big role in the dungeon world, or maybe he just didn't enter a normal dungeon.
But... it's perfectly fine to use it to avoid misfortune.
Shen Ye was running on the road.
The death lines kept appearing one after another, and interestingly... I can now see the distance to the death lines.
"The increase in pollution levels...it seems it can even raise the deadline."
Shen Ye was thinking.
If the pollution level keeps rising, we might be able to see not only the distance, but also the time, the corresponding manner of death, and so on.
Who knows?
In short, Shen Ye's day was very ominous, but the improvements in all aspects, coupled with the increased distance, meant that he posed absolutely no threat to Shen Ye.
There's one more thing.
"The world has really changed a lot."
Along the way... there are various training rooms, acquisition of God Cube props, recruitment of high-quality professionals, sales of various potions, etc.
Tianfang Company offers a variety of combat potions, support potions, and evolution potions that can be brought into dungeons. These can only be purchased with points and are available for installment payments.
They even put little GG stickers on them.
The label reads: "[Master craftsman's folk remedy, can quickly reduce pollution, contact number: 15646.....]"
The changes are numerous, but the core remains unchanged, all revolving around the Divine Cube.
The Pangoal Investigation Bureau's presence is limited to macro-level control, seemingly encouraging free development.
......
10:00 AM.
Shen Ye saw Mu Yunhai in the coffee shop.
"You look travel-worn. Where are the other two?" Shen Ye noticed that only Mu Yunhai was there.
"I flew in from another city. They weren't actually on the same team as me. After we separated, they went about their own business."
Mu Yunhai: "What would you like to drink? It's on me."
"Are you treating me? I'd like to have some of that..." Shen Ye suddenly pointed to the potion.
"....."
Mu Yunhai remained silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "I fucking told you to order something from the coffee shop."
"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier?"
You should have said so earlier, you old man.
Mu Yunhai also looked up and said, "Moreover, that potion is much more expensive than you think."
"As you probably know, before this nationwide infinite flow phenomenon, a large number of people had already entered the God Cube and experienced a lot of chaos before finally establishing order."
Shen Ye nodded.
"And Tianfang Company... is the company established by those old teams, which sells various items and medicines with the permission of the Pangu Investigation Bureau."
Shen Ye pondered, "How should I put it? It seems that the Pangu Investigation Bureau is quite tolerant of new groups and various chaotic organizations."
"That's right. The Pangu Investigation Bureau was built step by step by various important figures... It was an official organization recognized by the World Alliance only after going through a lot of unimaginable difficulties," Mu Yunhai said softly.
World Alliance...
This was the second time Shen Ye had heard this word.
What kind of organization is the World Alliance?
"Our world is just an insignificant corner of the Divine Cube... and there are many other worlds existing within the Divine Cube, forming a huge organization—the World Alliance." Mu Yunhai shook his head: "However, this is still too far for you... you can't meet people from other worlds on your ferry yet."
Yeah.
Shen Ye took the coffee from the waiter and looked at the ring on his finger.
Is it far...?
Judging from the current situation, I seem to have come into contact with quite a few important figures, including those from the First Sequence, Xiaoyue Kingdom, and a whole bunch of other nobles.
"So you called me here this time to ask me about the dungeon?" Shen Ye didn't change the subject. He had already made up a story, and they had no way of verifying it anyway.
Another point is that they know that clearing a dungeon for the first time will create an anchor point, and they want to check if they've cleared it...
but.
Mu Yunhai shook his head: "No, that's not it. The Pangu Investigation Bureau respects everyone's privacy. Whether you pass the test or not, I'm actually very happy that you can leave alive."
This surprised Shen Ye quite a bit.
"You are a beast in human form."
"?"
Mu Yunhai: "You son of a bitch!"
"Just kidding, so what's your purpose?"
"The real purpose of my trip is..." Mu Yunhai solemnly put down his straw and said earnestly, "I want to invite you to join one of my teams."
"?"
Shen Ye: "The team? You're not from the Pangu Investigation Bureau?"
"Pangu Investigation Bureau encourages everyone to form their own teams to fight in the Divine Cube, and at the same time, they can also serve in Pangu Investigation Bureau and receive training from Pangu Investigation Bureau."
It turned out to be the case.
This truly makes it accessible to everyone; only those with ability can stand taller and see further.
No wonder...
I saw a lot of recruitment flyers and job postings along the way, which shows I haven't been on forums enough.
"And the team I belong to... is called the Midnight Men."
Hmm...strange name.
Mu Yunhai said softly:
"We are one of the key teams that Pangoal Investigation Bureau is focusing on developing."
"It was established to compete for a very important spot."
He looked at Shen Ye and said very solemnly:
"Now, I don't know if you'd like to join."
