Chapter 1144: Inter-Server Connectivity, Request for Aid

Su Sheng almost inquired about every matter, big and small, and after repeatedly confirming that there were virtually no oversights, Su Sheng was satisfied and went home.

He kept hustling until the late night, and only then did Su Sheng log back in.

After Su Sheng logged in, Lin Huan's private chat arrived almost immediately, asking, "Why are you logging in so late?"

Su Sheng didn't hide much, gave a rough explanation, since he had already greeted the Azure Dragon Leader and they were basically aware of the inside details; it was also a good thing for his family to take it seriously.

Sure enough, after hearing Su Sheng's statement, Lin Huan's expression grew solemn, clearly taking the matter to heart.

But he still needs to greet his parents tomorrow morning; since the last greeting, everything has been calm, so his parents are probably feeling a bit relaxed.

Then Su Sheng began a new day of grinding monsters; since the base location had been finalized and there were no issues, he simply kept grinding.

Time passed bit by bit.

On all servers, the number of players who have reached level 80 keeps increasing.

Gradually, some players from other servers also hit level 80 and went to the Huangcheng.

However, what annoyed people was a news item that broke out on the Domestic Server forum.

The Huangcheng quest on the Little Days side also succeeded, and they now have a Solidified Instance.

This made many Domestic Server players a bit upset, but there was nothing they could do. Immediately another message arrived: the Bangzi Server side also completed it.

Upon hearing these messages, Su Sheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Now the mission on the Ying Jiang side was botched by himself, and the Mao Xiong side failed because of an arrogant guy, yet unexpectedly the Little Days Server and Bangzi Server managed to succeed.

Having experienced dungeon missions, Su Sheng knows that a regular squad clearing this mission is not easy.

For dungeons related to the Demon Race, anti‑demon resistance is paramount.

Next is the existence of anti‑demon potions; so far, it seems only Yanhuang can produce them within the Domestic Server scope, and as news of the Magic Cave Dungeon spread, Yanhuang's anti‑demon potions have become increasingly better.

Although there are some other anti‑demon gear or items, they are few, some are single‑use and pricey; under these circumstances, Yanhuang's anti‑demon potions naturally opened a large market.

Before, anti‑demon potions could be sold but weren't essential and didn't move well. Now that a Solidified level‑80 Magic Cave Dungeon exists, these potions have become hard currency.

And originally, that small guild, after learning about the anti‑demon potions, regretted it immensely.

But it was only a second‑tier small guild, lacking the guts to confront Yanhuang, so it could only stay silent; mainly, if Chen Jianping hadn't left their guild in the first place.

Their guild also lacked the resources to cultivate Chen Jianping.

…

However, later Xuan Yu Wu sent a message.

Xingchen's side was indeed an accident; this time Xingchen stayed in the hospital for over a week before logging in again. Earlier, although he had escaped danger, the doctors wouldn't let him log into the game.

After enduring seven days, even though he hadn't been discharged, he could log into the game.

But according to Xuan Yu Wu, the covert line reports that the Ying Jiang Server, Little Days Server, Bangzi Server, and even the A San Server have had close contact during this period.

Su Sheng probably understood that behind the Little Days and Bangzi Nation guys completing that sole mission, there were likely help from the Ying Jiang Server folks.

Although there are still fewer than 1,000 players who have reached level 80, and interconnection among all servers hasn't opened, with time some servers have begun to border each other.

Take the Domestic Server as an example: besides the unexpectedly bordering A San Server, it now also borders the Mao Xiong Server.

But unlike the border with A San, the Huaxia Server's border with the Mao Xiong Server lies on the map beyond a level‑100 Training Spot in Huangcheng.

Su Sheng slipped in briefly; it was a vast icefield, filled with elite monsters above level 100.

In the northern icefield, Su Sheng didn't venture far; after all, there's no need to go to the Mao Xiong Server now, and crossing the icefield is probably no easier than traversing the Demon Realm on the A San Server, perhaps even harder.

Indeed, above level 100.

Although so far, the Zhu Lu Official has announced that the highest player level is 100.

That doesn't mean monster level caps are also 100.

Conversely, during this period, while Su Sheng was traversing the Huangcheng map, he saw monsters above level 100, but they were only in the low‑hundreds; he hadn't seen any beyond level 110.

And that very day…

Two consecutive system notification sounds rang.

Among them, the Beibang server also connected with the Domestic Server, and immediately after, a second connection: a Southern Sea allied small‑nation server also linked with the Domestic Server side.

Server interconnection occurs only when players above level 80 appear in two adjacent servers, meaning both Beibang and that Southern Sea allied server now have level‑80 Fourth Rebirth players.

However, interconnection isn't arbitrary; only neighboring servers can connect, for example, Huaxia Server and Ying Jiang Server cannot be linked.

But there are methods to get across; before servers are linked you could still go, and after connection it's even more convenient.

Moreover, when the game time was about to end that day, the system posted an announcement.

As players reached the Fourth Rebirth stage, the Seizing the Cauldron event was cancelled; during this period the event had been held intermittently, but Su Sheng never participated.

But seeing the cancellation announcement, Su Sheng roughly understood.

With the Seizing the Cauldron cancelled, the National War System is about to open.

Once a total of 1,000 Fourth Rebirth players appear across all servers, it can be launched.

Just wonder what the first National War will be like then.

That day, while Su Sheng was at work.

Xuan Yu Wu found Su Sheng, his face solemn, and said something.

"Ah ha? Does Beibang want us to go over and support, helping with that hidden mission?!" Su Sheng stared at Xuan Yu Wu in astonishment.

Beibang and Huaxia have always enjoyed good diplomatic relations; this was cemented during the Battle of Yalu River.

Xuan Yu Wu nodded: "Commander Jin of Beibang personally contacted our superiors; the superiors informed the Azure Dragon Leader, who asked me to come and ask your opinion."

Su Sheng thought for a moment, then nodded.

It's not impossible…

After all, during this period, the Solidified Instance mission has basically spread, and many servers have failed.

The situation regarding this dungeon is almost the same everywhere.

Obviously Beibang lacks the confidence to complete that task with its own manpower, so seeking help from the Domestic Server side is quite normal.

Although the government officials said they couldn't intervene openly, this is just hiring external aid, and it's a precedent first opened by the Eagle Sauce Server for the Little Days Server and the Bangzi Nation Server.

In this situation, the Domestic Server helping Beibang isn't a big deal.

Because according to Xuan Yu Wu's investigation and some feedback from the game forum, it has basically been confirmed why the Little Days Server and the Bangzi Nation Server can complete that unique Solidified Instance mission.

It is indeed that Ying Jiang is providing support behind the scenes.

Moreover, according to reports, it's unclear what methods Ying Jiang used, but they allow several of their top players to enter the Little Days Server daily to run Dungeons.

Although this Solidified Instance limits the daily completion reward to one, it does not restrict the reward to players of that server only.

During this period, the Eagle Sauce Server inexplicably had this mission fail.

So, finding ways to run Dungeons on other servers isn't impossible.

That's probably one reason why Ying Jiang would lend a hand to the Little Days Server and the Bangzi Nation Server.

However, regardless, even though the servers are now bordering each other, traveling thousands of miles to another server to run a Dungeon always comes at a cost.

I don't know whether the Eagle Sauce Server's daily thousand‑mile Dungeon runs can break even.

Of course, this isn't something Su Sheng should worry about; it's best if they can't break even.

"Alright, find a way to bring four people over."

"I'll report back to the higher‑ups."

Xuan Yu Wu heard Su Sheng's agreement and also smiled.

Watching Xuan Yu Wu leave, Su Sheng began to contemplate the plan to support Beibang this time.

The official forum has already revealed that the connection point between Beibang and the Domestic Server is at the old spot!

Below Zhuque Main City, a forest area of Wutong Town!

Indeed, the border between the Beibang Server and the Domestic Server is at Wutong Town.

As for manpower, Su Sheng already has a plan.

According to intelligence, the Beibang side has an 80‑level Fourth Rebirth Mage player.

Bringing three more people from here, plus myself, is about right; we also need to bring the required anti‑magic potions and such. Since we promised to help, we can't be perfunctory.

Although from a game standpoint we're at a slight loss, from the nation's perspective this is definitely a good thing.

The four people: myself, Huan Jie, Huang Mingxin, and also Wu Zhaodi.

Since Huan Jie is coming, Li Wenwan won't be taken; after all there's already a Mage there. Having someone to share the later pressure for me, Su Sheng, is still good.

Having cleared a story Dungeon before, Su Sheng knows that later in that Dungeon one person can't hold up, so bringing an extra sub‑team is also a good choice.

Su Sheng made a call and mentioned the situation to Huan Jie.

Lin Huan naturally had no objections!

…

Logged in that day.

Su Sheng gathered everyone and met at Wutong Town.

They haven't even run today's Dungeon yet.

After all, we don't know how much time it will take to rush over to Beibang's server.

Arriving at Wutong Town, we also passed the entrance of the solidified Hui Long Zhai Dungeon.

Seeing the players active in Wutong Town, Su Sheng couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

Time really flies; without realizing it, the Zhu Lu operation has been going on so long, and the National War System is about to launch.

Looking at Wutong Town's surroundings, Su Sheng felt as if it were just yesterday.

Although Wutong Town isn't suitable for leveling now, there are still many errands and quests that require traveling back to various towns.

Moreover, the game's player base is huge, with all kinds of players, so Wutong Town isn't completely desolate.

The appearance of Su Sheng's party quickly attracted many players' attention.

It was truly eye‑catching, and Su Sheng had no intention of hiding anything.

"Whoa, are those people from the Yanhuang Guild?"

"Obviously, look at the leader— isn't that Mo Wen Da Lao?"

"But what are they doing here?"

"Yeah, doing quests, since Wutong Town isn't suitable for them to level right now."

"No, looking at their direction… they're heading toward the forest."

"Now that you mention it, I recall that yesterday the Domestic Server and Beibang's server connected, and the connection point on the Beibang side is in the forest near our town."

"Could they be heading to the Beibang server? Stirring something up?"

"Beibang's side isn't our relationship good?"

"You're silly, who's causing trouble that they'd send four people?"

"Makes sense, they're probably just going to do a quest."

Su Sheng's party smoothly left Wutong Town and, after a short while, arrived at the forest area.

Mystic Forest!

"Let's go in, aim to get through this forest today, reach the Beibang Server, and start helping with quests tomorrow."

Su Sheng rode ahead, leading the way.

The remaining two, Huang Mingxin and Wu Zhaodi, quickly mounted their mounts and followed.

As for Lin Huan, he rode a frost giant dragon leisurely through the sky behind them.

There were no monsters at all in the front of this forest.

But as they went deeper, elite monsters of around level 80 began to appear intermittently.

Tsk…

As expected, it's a junction between two servers, somewhat breaking common sense—after all, Wutong Town lies ahead, and a normal town wouldn't have 80‑level monsters.

Moreover, they're all elite monsters.

Still, this couldn't stop everyone, but nobody wanted to waste much time delaying—after all, they were heading to another server to reinforce, and dragging it out too long would be bad.

As for direction, that's no problem either—even the lion-like beast can fly, and besides, Lin Huan has been riding a frost dragon in the sky all along.

There are also coordinate guides.

Moreover, they also encountered an 87‑level elite monster boss in the forest.

But nobody had the intention to attack.

Finally, as the day's game time was about to end, Su Sheng led three people through this dense forest, and the system notification announced their official entry into the Beibang server.
