Chapter 133: Insight is Aierikete

Hum—

The bedside phone's screen suddenly lit up, and the low vibrating sound made the man who had been sound asleep a second ago snap his eyes open.

He sat up, one hand picking up the phone to glance at the caller ID, the other hand taking a pair of glasses from the nightstand and putting them on, then picking up a tablet.

It's not even work time yet, this counts as overtime.

The man muttered, one hand answering the call, the other operating the tablet to open a page and submit an overtime request for himself.

"Just now I have something to find you about." The man's voice became steady and strong the moment the call connected, "but I think your matter might be more important, so you go first."

While speaking, he opened another chat window on the tablet, typed "Luo's power change from last night," and sent it.

On the other end of the phone, Qin Chuan's voice came: "Long Ji, I have some information beyond Elite Tier, ready to share with the Special Affairs Group."

"No problem." Chang Jinze split-screened a notepad, ready to take notes.

However, his note-taking only lasted a moment before his brows furrowed tightly.

At the same time, the previous chat window popped up a reply, briefly summarizing Luo's power change and the situation of transferring from Zone 3675 to Zone 3674.

After a moment, Chang Jinze's face grew increasingly grim.

"If you're willing to share this information, the Special Affairs points shouldn't be low."

And what the heck is this ultra-rare resource?!

Even rare-type resources have already messed up the Special Affairs Group's original plans, and now an ultra-rare one pops up—how much manpower and material will it take to find?

Despite countless complaints in his mind, Chang Jinze's voice remained steady: "Tell me more about the ultra-rare resource."

"Huh?"

Finally, there's a bit of good news.

But if we rely only on Advanced Resource Fragments to make up the amount, the speed would be too slow.

Chang Jinze's expression twitched slightly, and his face eased a little.

"Ten thousand Experience Gems." Chang Jinze said firmly, "To be safe, you and the player called 'Yue Li' need to raise your Contract Spirit Beast's level to the max as soon as possible."

"That's all the information. I called you mainly for another matter." On the other end, Qin Chuan's tone shifted: "I plan to take the initiative against Aierikete, expected in three days."

The amount of information is far more than he expected…

"How much?!" Qin Chuan's voice sounded a few degrees more astonished.

Chang Jinze glanced quickly, his tone unchanged: "If so, you should have already seen the requirements for reaching Hall Tier from Elite Tier, right?"

Just as that thought arose, Qin Chuan's voice sounded again: "Oh right, I've already broken a Spirit Beast through to Elite Tier Level 30."

Chang Jinze's hand holding the record suddenly jerked, and he felt his mindset crumble a bit.

Spirit Descent… favorability 100%… ultimate skill…

"No problem, I'll meet you in three days." Chang Jinze gave an affirmative reply, then his tone shifted: "Within today, ten thousand Experience Gems will be delivered to your hands."

"It can be shared, after all you'll find out soon enough." Qin Chuan spoke calmly on the other end: "Breaking through from Elite Tier to Hall Tier requires four Advanced Resources and one Ultra-rare Resource; besides self-selection, Advanced Resources can only be obtained by defeating Hall Tier Spirit Beasts."

Defeat Hall Tier Spirit Beasts?

Regardless of difficulty, isn't there only one of those per zone?

After a moment of silence, the voice on the other end came: "What do I need to do?"

"You don't need to do anything." Chang Jinze spoke calmly, then, worried Qin Chuan might overthink, he added: "You can understand it as another hidden cooperation."

"As a Special Affairs Group member, assisting you in killing Golden Talent possessors, there's a very important factor: the initiative in talent extraction."

"After nine Golden Talents dim, Official Rank members of the group will not extract player talents unless necessary." Chang Jinze said in a flat tone, revealing a not‑small secret for the Special Affairs Group.

"If we can kill a foreign Golden Talent player, they will extract it the moment the Golden Talent rekindles, so as to let Yanhuang have as many Golden Talents as possible."

"So, this operation isn't just about dealing with Aierikete; it's also a new round of contention for the two Golden Talents."

"Ten thousand Experience Gems are your reward."

"…Two Golden Talents?" Qin Chuan suddenly spoke on the other end.

"During this period, among the players challenging Aierikete, many of ours, under our intentional probing, have confirmed one thing." Chang Jinze's eyes flickered: "Among Aierikete's companions, there is a possessor of the Golden Talent Insight."

"The priority of Insight is even higher than that of Spirit Ascension."

"The Golden Talent that can see through other players' talents must be kept in Yanhuang's hands."

—

Qin Chuan put down his phone, his expression constantly shifting.

At the end of the call, Chang Jinze said what he needed to say; of the two rare-type resources he had previously needed, one had already been found, so he only needed to find the other.

Compared to the previous conversation between the two, this is indeed just a small matter.

Just as his revealed information had left Chang Jinze stunned, Chang Jinze's revealed information likewise left him stunned.

The Special Affairs Group's advance layout regarding Golden Talent, although it surprised Qin Chuan.

But upon further thought, he also felt it was reasonable.

What truly startled him, however, was the existence of Insight.

Before today, he had never imagined that Aierikete truly had a Golden Talent companion by his side.

Now thinking back, Aierikete's initial debut, where he had two women pose as Golden Talent possessors—an act that seemed laughable—actually carried considerable significance.

He not only tried to lure out the genuine Golden Talent possessor, but also made that genuine possessor become the most convinced that he was bluffing.

People only remember his arrogance and conceit, overlooking the possible trap beneath it.

There is a companion hidden in the dark who can see through all players' talents; those whose own strength is insufficient to threaten Aierikete cannot possibly win by relying on information disparity.

And those who are truly capable of threatening Aierikete will each be wary of acting because of Insight's existence.

Aierikete, by nature stands in an invincible position.

This arrogant lion that looks down on everything is nonetheless not foolish.

Even Qin Chuan and Yue Li cannot crack that combo of theirs.

As long as they appear before Ailikete, the talent effects of him and Yueli cannot be concealed; even if he goes all out to kill the opponent, the negative impact far outweighs the benefit.

After all, dying in the Dream World isn't really dying.

Qin Chuan could be certain that if he killed Ailikete and his companions, the talent effects of Guizhen and Qiming and their owners' information would become known to everyone by the next day.

No wonder, Long Ji needs to make a move.

Qin Chuan lowered his eyes slightly, already understanding the reason the other party took the initiative to contact him.

The Long Ji who possesses the Holy Realm does not merely counter Ailikete.
