Chapter 1044: The Lively Small Town

Soon after, Zhang Zhi issued a system broadcast in the name of Yanhuang.

The golden, large‑font broadcast instantly excited all the Solo Players of Zhulu.

Leveling every day is extremely dull, but Little Days Players have arrived, and Yanhuang also posted a bounty.

It serves as a perfect seasoning!

Moreover, the bounty Yanhuang offered is not small.

Ordinary Little Days Players receive 10,000 Gold Coins.

As long as they attach a sniping video, they can claim 10,000 Gold Coins from Yanhuang. Excluding the negligible fee, that's still 10,000 dollars.

Among them, Du bian yi tiao chai received a direct bounty of 50,000 Gold Coins.

Consequently, the newly arrived players in the town rushed through the Teleport Array to other towns for leveling.

However, some overconfident Solo Players with a bit of strength swarmed into this Zhuque City town in groups.

After all, that's 10,000 dollars—more than a typical monthly salary. It's just a day less of leveling; if they can get it, it's pure profit.

Not to mention, if they get lucky and slay that so‑called Du bian yi tiao chai, it's 50,000 dollars.

Thus, within a short time, the town became packed with various Solo Players, all of whom are Third Rebirth or higher.

Then they scattered across the town map like a swarm of bees.

Detection Arrows filled the sky and ground, flying chaotically.

According to the bounty information Yanhuang provided, the fleeing players are essentially stealth units.

As for whether Yanhuang's bounty can actually be claimed, no one doubts it.

After all, Yanhuang's reputation is displayed there.

…

At this moment, the fleeing Little Days Players were not doing so well.

Du bian yi tiao chai hid in a thicket of a forest, opened communications with a gloomy face, and contacted the escaped players.

Over 5,000 people!

This time they came over 5,000 strong via items, yet made no effective contribution, and now fewer than ten remain.

"Where are you all on the map? What's the situation?"

Du bian yi tiao chai began contacting the escaped players.

"Chairman Du bian yi tiao chai, I'm still at the original spot; those Huaxia Players have left."

"You didn't flee?"

"I guess I fled, but I ended up crouching in a corner of the ruins, a blind spot for the Detection Ship; they didn't find me. I stayed still, didn't investigate further, and watched them pull out the Return City Scroll and leave."

"Chairman Du bian yi tiao chai, what do we do now? We're down to about ten people."

"Don't worry, it's actually kind of a good thing."

Du bian yi tiao chai grinned, "Anyway, our goal has never been to rely on ourselves to strike those Huaxia Players."

"Indeed, after the recent battle I fully understand the gap between us and those Huaxia Players."

"Rest assured, the core item is still in my hands; as long as I'm alive, there's still a chance."

Du bian yi tiao chai thought for a moment, then continued, "Our primary task now is to figure out how to locate a Main City. We should disperse and explore in all directions."

"Once we find a Main City area, it'll be easy. Fewer people means less clutter, and we're all stealth units now, so scouting is perfect."

"However, after this incident, the Huaxia Players now know we exist."

"So we must be extra cautious; that makes all the items on me somewhat unsafe."

"Huaxia has a saying: don't put all your eggs in one basket."

"We have three portions of the item in hand. We'll gather, split into three groups, each heading a different direction, each carrying one portion. As long as one person successfully finds a Main City, we have a chance to make a move."

Du bian yi tiao chai presented the plan.

"Chairman Du bian yi tiao chai, you're truly impressive; I approve this method."

"Chairman Du bian yi tiao chai, you seem to know Chinese culture well."

"Hehe, you can call me a China expert if you like."

Du bian yi tiao chai chuckled.

The Little Days folk covet Huaxia's culture yet despise Huaxia itself.

"Additionally, I'll contact the A San Server side to cause trouble and draw Huaxia Players' attention."

"Once the main force of A San Players reaches Huaxia here, they shouldn't have the energy to deal with our dozen or so."

"My coordinates are here; gather at my location, and I'll contact the A San folks."

Then Du bian yi tiao chai opened the friends list, saw those names were indeed contactable, and couldn't help smiling.

Just as expected.

Previously they tried cross‑server friend requests; they could add, but couldn't communicate, the other side always showed as offline.

But now, being on the Huaxia Server, which is already linked with the A San Server.

Thus, within this Huaxia Server's territory, they can directly contact people on the A San Server.

"When will your people arrive? We've been spotted here, but the items aren't lost yet; we have few people left and need to find a Main City to deploy the items."

"So we need your A San Server side to attract Huaxia Players' attention for us."

Shortly after Du bian yi tiao chai sent the message, the other side replied.

"Don't worry, Du bian yi tiao chai, our main force has gathered at the edge of the Demon Realm and will launch soon."

But Du bian yi tiao chai, upon seeing the message from that side, couldn't help furrowing their brows.

"Wait, are these A San Players just messing around?"

Their cooperation and this operation had already settled on a plan early on.

Moreover, before their mission entered the teleport array to reach the Huaxia server, they had already contacted A San's side through offline means, saying they had arrived at the Huaxia server.

As a result, these A San Players still haven't reached the Huaxia server's territory.

Isn't this a trap?

"What are you doing? Our side is in an urgent situation; we need your help. Don't you want to avenge past disgrace?"

Du bian yi tiao chai angrily sent a message back.

"Don't worry, don't worry—we've already reached the edge of the Demon Realm; we'll be there right away."

Seeing the reply from A San's side, Du bian yi tiao chai almost blacked out.

What do you mean "coming right away"? You're still separated by a Demon Realm.

Although Du bian yi tiao chai has never been to the Demon Realm, he styles himself a China expert and thus knows quite a bit about the situation here in Huaxia.

He also saw some streamers who do challenge livestreams, showing various situations of livestreaming through the Demon Realm.

Although many streamers succeeded in crossing the Demon Realm, most failed.

Moreover, even the fastest streamer took almost a day to get through the Demon Realm, and that was only thanks to good luck.
