Chapter 24

The daily work in the pet shop is not busy, so Xie Yaoyao spends most of his time cleaning and playing with the cats and dogs.

So after finishing the work at hand, Xie Yaoyao sat down at the computer again and began to browse the 'Dark Fairytale' website.

And Nie Yingying was happily interacting with the little guys in the shop; she couldn't remember how long it had been since she enjoyed such a leisurely time.

At this moment, a piece of news on the website forum attracted Xie Yaoyao's attention.

It was a video message, and the video was also very short, only about tens of seconds.

Xie Yaoyao was very familiar with the address in the video; it was exactly the abandoned factory where he rescued Nie Yingying.

At this time, the abandoned factory had already been surrounded by isolation belts, and several staff members in uniform black uniforms were investigating something inside the factory.

The tens of seconds of video played quickly, but at the end, one of the personnel faced the camera and said seriously.

"Dragon Spear will not interfere with the contradictions and conflicts between travelers in principle, but if the conflicts between travelers affect ordinary people, then Dragon Spear will not sit idly by."

When Xie Yaoyao finished watching this video message, Nie Yingying's voice sounded beside him.

"This person is Chong Bairen, the branch head of 'Dragon Spear' in Ancheng, a famous sixth-tier expert."

Xie Yaoyao rested his chin on one hand, looking at the square-faced man in the video with a righteous look, and couldn't help but ask.

"I remember you said before that 'Dragon Spear' is a semi-official organization, so do the people of 'Dragon Spear' have jurisdiction over all travelers?"

"It's not jurisdiction; travelers are not that easy to manage, and even distinguishing who is a traveler is a very difficult thing."

"But 'Dragon Spear' is, after all, a traveler organization led by the official side, so maintaining the stability of the ordinary world is also one of their responsibilities."

"'Dragon Spear' is the largest traveler organization in the country, and it also has the most power and numbers, so generally, ordinary traveler organizations or individuals will not choose to oppose them."

Nie Yingying explained in detail to Xie Yaoyao.

Xie Yaoyao, who had been an ordinary person for more than twenty years, instinctively still had a sense of awe for organizations with official backgrounds.

"Then they won't cause us trouble, right? That 'Blood Sword' Mercenary Group is already very troublesome."

"No, as long as it's not making a huge scene, 'Dragon Spear' won't care about the fights between travelers."

"That's good! But that 'Blood Sword' Mercenary Group is always a hidden danger!"

Nie Yingying pursed her delicate lips and said after a long while.

"I will solve the 'Blood Sword' matter myself; this matter shouldn't have involved you in the first place."

"Heh heh, but I've already been involved, haven't I?"

Seeing that Nie Yingying didn't answer, Xie Yaoyao continued.

"Is it inconvenient for you to tell me how you got into a feud with that group of guys?"

Looking at the woman beside him whose face was still a bit pale and silent, Xie Yaoyao laughed at himself, thinking it would be a sad story.

"Sorry, I just asked casually; you don't have to worry about me, I'm just someone who sometimes doesn't have a gate on my mouth."

Just as Xie Yaoyao was about to say a few witty remarks to ease the awkward atmosphere, Nie Yingying suddenly spoke.

"My key was given to me by my younger brother."

"When I received the call and found him, he was hiding in a bridge hole, covered in blood."

"He grabbed my hand and stabbed a dagger into his own heart to die."

Nie Yingying was still expressionless; her tears had long since dried up over the past year or so, and she now only wanted revenge.

The pet shop became very quiet, and even the cats and dogs seemed to feel the sadness emanating from Nie Yingying, becoming quiet as a result.

"But all this has nothing to do with you; I will leave tomorrow. The longer I stay here, the more unsafe you will be."

In the end, the two had only just met, although Nie Yingying spared his life at the beginning, he also saved her once.

Xie Yaoyao is not the kind of person who would risk his life for female beauty to help others.

"Then after you leave, what about the mission for that 'Little Garden Invitation'? I remember you said you needed my cooperation to do it together!"

Nie Yingying nodded.

"I still need to make some preparations; I will contact you after I'm ready. Let's agree first, the invitation can belong to you, but you have to let me use it first after getting it."

This topic made the atmosphere in the pet shop a bit heavy, so Xie Yaoyao began to change the subject.

"Understood, we'll talk after you're ready later. Then while there's still time, Miss Nie, can you tell me more about the Fairytale World? There are still many things I don't understand, for example, why do you call the Fairytale World the Anshijie?"

Facing her future partner, Nie Yingying had no intention of hiding anything.

"Because the world over there is not as beautiful as it looks. Although we don't enter that world physically, if we die in that world, we also die in reality."

"What?"

Xie Yaoyao thought of his several adventures and couldn't help but feel a wave of lingering fear in his heart.

He had always treated the Fairytale World as an extremely advanced game to play, which is why he dared to trick Wang Xiong to death, force the scarecrow, smash the werewolf Meng Xi to death with an axe, and later even dared to go head-to-head with that demon.

If he had known early on that he could also die over there, he definitely wouldn't have made such rash decisions.

Everything is to blame on himself being bitten to death by that poisonous snake and then resurrected as soon as he entered.

Huh!

That's not right!

I was clearly resurrected!

Nie Yingying looked at the changes in Xie Yaoyao's face and probably guessed some of his thoughts.

"This is why everyone wants to advance! Not only because advancing allows for more entries to be equipped, but also because advancing one tier adds one life. We are defaulted as first-tier travelers from the moment we enter the Anshijie."

Nie Yingying's words made Xie Yaoyao's forehead break out in dense cold sweat.

So as soon as I entered, I actually already used up my only resurrection chance, and the subsequent adventures were completely risking my life!

It really is, ignorance is fearless!

But fortunately, I have now advanced to the third tier and have two more lives!

Thank God!

Ignoring Xie Yaoyao's intense psychological activity, Nie Yingying continued to talk about the basic knowledge of the Fairytale World.

"Besides tiers, entries are our foundation. Entries can be dropped by killing monsters and people, and can also be obtained by completing missions."

"And profession entries can only be obtained by completing missions, so missions are one of the most precious resources in the Anshijie!"

"Among the countless missions in the Anshijie, plot missions are the highest-level missions and are also the way for everyone to obtain high-tier profession entries."

After saying this, Nie Yingying stared at Xie Yaoyao, her two eyes shining brightly.

Being able to obtain the 【Hunter】 profession entry upon first entering the Fairytale World, Xie Yaoyao's birthplace was undoubtedly near a plot mission, and he must have participated in it.
