Chapter 393: Hidden Dragon and Yanhuang

Treasure map fragment: 8/10.

When the game time was about to end, Su Sheng, at Zhuque Main City, briefly checked the email sent by Zhu Meng Junjie.

Sure enough, it was indeed the eighth fragment of the treasure map.

Got it…

Now there are still two fragments missing.

Honestly, this is just hurrying to push myself upward.

These treasure map fragments, unlike combined equipment, increase the acquisition probability of subsequent ones while held.

But speaking of that…

Su Sheng glanced at his Dao Yun Ring; it's currently Dao Yun Ring 08, and he still has no clue how to obtain the next fragment.

He still lacks a full 41 pieces before he can complete the combination.

He doesn't know when he'll be able to finish collecting them.

If I gather the 09, I should be able to use it; assuming no mishap, after the 09 combination, the Dao Yun Ring will be a level‑55 epic.

Combined with Divine Craftsman Stone, it should also be attainable.

At this point, the game time was almost up, and the system sent an offline reminder.

Su Sheng logged off first.

…

…

"Old Wu, how does it feel?"

At the breakfast table, Su Sheng looked at Wu Long, who was serving the dishes, and asked with a smile.

These past few days, the kitchen situation at the club has basically been set up.

Last night, Wu Long entered the game.

The former Ten Court Yanluo, White-Handed Azure Dragon! Has emerged again.

"A bit rusty…" Wu Long replied with a grin.

He's been away from the game for a long time.

Unlike Su Sheng, who left the game seven years ago to serve in the troops, his combat awareness not only didn't fade but actually advanced.

Wu Long left the game to run the kitchen, and some things… have somewhat slipped.

Su Sheng patted Wu Long's shoulder: "No rush, take your time."

"It's fine, Brother Sheng, I don't spend much time playing myself, so I won't push it," Wu Long replied with a smile.

"Hmm."

Su Sheng nodded.

…

Coincidentally, Su Sheng doesn't have to work today.

Today is Su Sheng's day off.

Even though he's a workhorse in society, Su Sheng is still a captain, so he can schedule a bit of vacation for himself.

Taking advantage of the break.

Su Sheng, accompanied by Huan Jie and Chen Guan, went to Hidden Dragon's side.

Hidden Dragon can now be called Yanhuang's reserve; Su Sheng can anticipate that once Hidden Dragon merges into Yanhuang, Yanhuang's strength will surge dramatically.

Huan Jie and Chen Guan are also high‑level members of Yanhuang.

They'll eventually need to be informed about Hidden Dragon.

…

…

"Brother Sheng, you're saying you have a group of retired comrades and you plan to pull them into the game?" Chen Guan looked at Su Sheng, bewildered.

Lin Huan, standing nearby, also looked curious.

At first, Su Sheng only said he would introduce them to some people.

On the way, Su Sheng gave a rough explanation.

Of course, due to confidentiality rules, Su Sheng didn't spell out the details.

He only mentioned a group of retired comrades.

He trusts them, and their combat awareness is strong, so they can be pulled into the game and merged into Yanhuang.

After all, male friendship is nothing more than sharing a window, shouldering a gun together… together…

Ahem…

…

"Captain!"

"Chairman Su!"

After Su Sheng, Lin Huan, and Chen Guan arrived at Hidden Dragon, they met with Wang Shan, Qu Xiang Tian, and Zhang Jian.

Once everyone sat down, Su Sheng introduced the two sides.

This can be counted as a future high‑level Yanhuang meeting.

They discussed some game‑related matters.

Hidden Dragon's current average level has basically reached 30.

When the level catches up to 40 and they reach the Main City, they can essentially merge into Yanhuang.

By then, the Yanhuang Guild's level should just reach a Level‑3 guild.

A Level‑3 guild's member cap expands to twenty thousand, so we can fit all the Hidden Dragon members and still need to recruit some outsiders.

But Yanhuang isn't afraid of not finding people.

Only worry is that too many want to join, and the member limit won't be enough.

Hidden Dragon has only three thousand people.

Three Thousand-Person Teams, just right: Wang Shan, Qu Xiang Tian and Zhang Jian each lead one team.

But there's another problem, which is…

The garrison site selection after becoming a Level‑3 guild.

Although it will still take some time before we can reach a Level‑3 guild.

But having some things prepared prevents trouble.

The Yanhuang Guild is in Zhuque City, so the guild garrison naturally lies within Zhuque City as well.

Zhuque City's map is huge…

Players level up, rushing back and forth for supplies, all of which takes a lot of time.

In this situation, the guild garrison can serve as an excellent supply point for players.

Under these circumstances, choosing a good garrison location becomes crucial.

The map near Zhuque Main City had long been surveyed and drawn by the Assassin Guild thieves arranged by Chen Guan.

The group discussed briefly and settled on several locations.

Of course, which location is finally chosen still needs a final look.

At noon, Su Sheng took Lin Huan and Chen Guan to eat in Hidden Dragon's canteen, and gave everyone a brief introduction.

That counts as mutual acquaintance.

Regarding these warriors who once defended the nation, Chen Guan and Lin Huan both showed considerable respect.

Everyone also got along pleasantly.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Su Sheng finally left Hidden Dragon with Lin Huan and Chen Guan.

On the road…

"Brother Sheng, I have a feeling that these three thousand retired Hidden Dragon soldiers will be the next elite batch after Yanhuang continues the Assassin Alliance," Chen Guan, who was driving, said solemnly.

Hehe, I feel the same.

Su Sheng grinned.

Lin Huan, sitting beside Su Sheng, also wore a faint smile.

Yanhuang was founded by Su Sheng, and during this period Lin Huan also poured in a lot of effort.

Seeing Yanhuang's prospects improve, Lin Huan naturally felt happy.

…

…

Game time.

Su Sheng returned to the game.

He checked the friends list and glanced at Lu Zhe's level.

It was already at Level 27.

Looks diligent.

That guy Da Zhuang is still Level 41, probably delayed because he was training Lu Zhe.

Later we could consider giving this guy some favor.

Quite diligent and responsible.

Let's go, continue leveling.

Su Sheng swung onto his mount and set off alone.

Su Ba, together with Lin Huan, followed the Yanhuang Thousand-Person Team to a Training Spot near the Tu Yan Rhino area.

Su Sheng plans to level alone today while also checking those pre‑selected guild garrison locations they discussed.

They negotiated four or five locations in total.

It took an hour to reach the first location.

In Mounted State, it also took an hour, showing the spot is still quite far.

This is near a Level‑55 Training Spot, slightly toward Zhuque Main City, with several Level‑50 Training Spots as well.

A forested area, looks decent.

After Yanhuang becomes a Level‑3 guild, this should be a mainstream leveling spot for Solo Players.

However, Su Sheng feels they still need to look at the outlook.

The nearer ones are only Level‑60 Training Spots.

The Level‑65 Training Spots are relatively farther.

Look at the others again.

Su Sheng changed direction again.

After spending half a day, Su Sheng examined three pre‑selected spots and was not very satisfied with any.

The fourth location…

is a Riverbank…
