Chapter 370: The Terrifying Lucky Account

After leaving Shenmo Dalu, Lin Bai opened more than ten Magpie Bridges for the Western Continent.

The couples provided by the Parliament included both real-world ones and players; the moment the Magpie Bridges were opened, the United States military, which had long been on standby, moved across rapidly and established a bridgehead outside Free City.

The Western Continent firmly believes that only force grants the right to speak; they are full of confidence in modern weaponry and do not want to rely on Lin Bai for the entire process.

A world conquered by one's own efforts provides more confidence when speaking, and they will not be like the people of the Eastern Continent, listening to Lin Bai in everything and engaging in infrastructure construction in the Xianxia World.

Plunder, only plunder can make them strong; this is their creed.

The most critical point is that more than ten million Undying and Indestructible player reinforcements are their greatest reliance.

In the early stages, the number of players in Free City was not large.

But they also did not need to face so many enemies all at once.

By expanding their territory bit by bit, they would eventually gather all the players under their command...

The worst outcome is that they fail in this war of invasion.

However, if it truly develops to that point, there is still Lin Bai to provide a safety net; at most, they would end up like the Eastern Continent, reduced to Lin Bai's Puppets, which is not a loss no matter how you calculate it.

Everything the Western Continent did, Lin Bai saw it all in his eyes.

After being subjected to Soul Possession, John was perhaps worried that after he entered the game, Lin Bai would use his body to do some indescribable things with his girlfriend, so he completely abandoned his Saint Knight body in the game and used his true body to operate in the game world, restarting his cultivation as a Saint Knight.

The cultivation speed is slow, but in John's words, what is cultivated with one's own body belongs to oneself, and no one can take it away.

In fact.

It is not just John; every soldier who enters the different world is cultivating, as this is their guarantee of safety.

Who knows how long they will live in the different world?

Just like the Spirit Qi in the Xianxia World, Magic can also be stored within the body; even if they cannot replenish Magic upon returning to the Real World, once there is an opportunity to become a Great Mage, the amount of Magic stored in the body is terrifying, making them a superman in the Real World.

Moreover, Shenmo Dalu has Magic Tools capable of storing Magic.

The engineering teams entering the Xianxia World are also cultivating; the engineering teams that can enter the different world to work were not obtained through company bidding, as every worker has undergone strict screening and can be converted into a soldier at any time when necessary.

In this game of troubled times, every party has its own hidden agenda, and no one has ever truly trusted anyone else, except for Lin Bai and his fans, as well as his Disciples with one hundred percent Loyalty.

Lin Bai does not care how the people of the Western Continent toss and turn in Shenmo Dalu; in fact, he cannot manage it anyway.

After all, he has no confidants in Shenmo Dalu.

Once both sides fight until they are at each other's throats, they will naturally remember his benefits.

Moreover, Lin Bai needs to use a chaotic war to lure the gods of Shenmo Dalu down, weigh their strength, and incidentally take them as his subordinates; once he masters the highest level, handling matters below will be much easier.

At this moment.

Lin Bai is using John's Saint Knight account to wander the world, expanding the map, and incidentally learning the layout of the world, selecting couples among the players to prepare for the Magpie Bridges.

The war outside Free City is only a part of the conflict between the natives and the players.

Outside many cities in Shenmo Dalu, there is war between natives and players everywhere.

However, with large quantities of munitions being transported in from the Real World, the players voluntarily withdrew from the war and began to transfer to Free City to rendezvous with their main force...

After Cheng Xunyun requested instructions from Lin Bai.

The players of the Xianxia World also went to Shenmo Dalu via the Magpie Bridges to pioneer and explore.

Lin Bai is never afraid of a chaotic world; the more chaotic it is, the more opportunities he has.

What he needs is information; the more information he has, the clearer his judgment of the situation in all aspects will be.

After all.

The most important transportation is in his hands; no matter which side goes out of control, he can isolate that piece of the map and shut the door to beat the dog.

Xianxia World.

More than thirty Disciples are distributed in various places, helping the players with Tribulation Transcendence.

At this moment.

At the Reception Pool, only four Disciples—Xu Longyun, Qingyun, the little white fox, and Tuohai—remain to guard the stronghold, while the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and Great Vehicle Realm cultivators of various sects and some players are cultivating against the clock.

The operation is spreading wider and wider, and Lin Bai's quota for Disciples is becoming somewhat insufficient.

Seeing Lin Bai and Jiang Qingqin return, the few of them came up to greet them, and many players also opened their eyes, looking at Lin Bai with curiosity, eager to make a move.

These players are new faces; they are Lucky Accounts that entered the game later, specifically coming to join the Justice Alliance and take Xu Longyun as their master.

Lin Bai went to Shenmo Dalu for a round of tossing and turning; it seems he did many things, but in reality, only a little over a day has passed.

If it weren't for taking Garnett for a ride to broaden his horizons, simply settling the war outside Free City wouldn't even take half a day.

Ever since the Magpie Bridges were set up in various places, the speed inside and outside the game seems to have boarded a rocket, and the pace of everything is faster than before.

"Master, you're back? Was the world over there fun?" The little white fox jumped to Lin Bai's side, skillfully transformed back into her fox form, threw herself into his arms, and nuzzled back and forth, enjoying the warmth that belonged solely to her.

"It's dirty and smelly, and I can't understand what they're saying; it's not interesting at all." Jiang Qingqin pouted, "If it weren't for building the Magpie Bridges, it would be better to stay here and cultivate!"

"Jiang Shimei, you don't have to go next time; I will accompany Master." The little white fox poked her head out from his arms and glared at Jiang Qingqin with dissatisfaction, "As long as I can be with Master, any place is a good place."

"In your dreams; Master has high hopes for you, and you are the King of the Demon Kingdom, not only needing to focus on cultivation but also carrying a bunch of miscellaneous tasks on your back; how could you be as free and unfettered as me?" Jiang Qingqin suddenly laughed and said leisurely, "Such hard work as accompanying Master out naturally falls on an idler like me! Besides, I only said that the world over there is dirty and messy, I didn't say I wasn't willing to be with Master..."

The little white fox bared her teeth at Jiang Qingqin.

Lin Bai stroked the little white fox's head, soothing her emotions, and briefly described the situation in Shenmo Dalu to everyone, saying: "... Over there, it is currently a war between some bottom-level people; it doesn't need us yet. Only when the high-level figures of Shenmo Dalu intervene will it be our time to appear; it might take a few more days!"

"Master, do we need to learn the language over there?" Xu Longyun asked.

"Not for the time being." Lin Bai smiled, "We belong to the strong side; it should be them learning our language. Let's not talk about that side; how is the situation here?"

The government affairs of the Justice Alliance are all coordinated and handled by Xu Longyun. Originally, the fan club was managed by Jiang Qingqin, but after the Thunder Tribulation incident, the fan club was decoupled from Jiang Qingqin, and the task of the Disciples gaining fame was completed; under Lin Bai's instruction, the fan club was also placed under Xu Longyun's management. Xu Longyun's ability to handle things is more efficient than Jiang Qingqin's; the capable do more work.

Jiang Qingqin originally had some complaints, but Lin Bai taking her out to lay the Magpie Bridges caused the unhappiness of having her power stripped away to be instantly thrown to the back of her mind. Being by Lin Bai's side was clearly more joyful for her than managing the fan club, and besides, after such a long time, she had long recognized the fact that she was not as good as Xu Longyun.

"Everything is normal," Xu Longyun said. "In the Mortal World, a total of ten people are undergoing Tribulation Transcendence. The single-person tribulation is the simplest Heavenly Tribulation, requiring three days; the earliest they can ascend is tomorrow night."

She glanced at Vision Eagle and the others over there and said, "Master, the timing could have been advanced. Before us, the consortium players had already arranged for a few people to undergo Tribulation Transcendence, but by the time we knew, it was already too late. Not a single one of those guys survived..."

Vision Eagle explained sheepishly, "Alliance Leader, it was them acting on their own initiative, wanting to experience the fun of Tribulation Transcendence. You know how it is, players are very curious; we didn't mean anything else by it..."

Lin Bai swept a glance at him and said, "Do you need me to use the True Speech Art on you?"

"..." Vision Eagle's smile froze on his face, filled with fear and trepidation. "As expected, I cannot escape the Alliance Leader's discerning eye. It is our fault; please, Alliance Leader, punish us."

"Let this be the last time." Lin Bai waved his hand. He had known about this matter for a long time, so naturally, he wouldn't hold it against them. Besides, there were so many things going on now, and with things blossoming on multiple fronts, how could he spare the time for these trifles?

"Many thanks, Alliance Leader." Several consortium heads breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Longyun had only complained to Lin Bai to keep them in check. With the goal achieved, she didn't dwell on the matter and continued, "Master, when they were undergoing Tribulation Transcendence, there was no movement here at the Reception Pool. Our speculation was correct; the Immortal World does not have just one Reception Pool."

Lin Bai smiled and nodded. "Mm, that's even better. With a few more strongholds, the Magpie Bridge can be connected into one at any time, blossoming everywhere and turning the Immortal World upside down."

"Alliance Leader, leave this matter to us; this is our specialty," Vision Eagle said with a fawning smile. "We understand the Alliance Leader's meaning. Rest assured, everyone will treat the Immortal World as a super-high-difficulty game to play. Trust in the wisdom of players; as long as it's a game, they can find a way to clear it."

Lin Bai glanced at them, thought of the gods of Shenmo Dalu, and said, "It doesn't have to be war. You can use any method to infiltrate the interior of the Immortal World, but all information must be shared with me."

Vision Eagle did not fully grasp Lin Bai's thoughts, but the task Lin Bai assigned was exactly what they wanted, so they naturally agreed readily.

But in an instant.

Several consortium executives began to guess Lin Bai's purpose through private chats and the barrage on their screens.

Iron-clad facts had long proven that every seemingly casual decision Lin Bai made would trigger a series of crucial results later on.

And then.

Things weirdly tilted toward the side most favorable to Lin Bai; they had to be cautious.

"There is no movement from Songshi City. Junior Sister Qingyun went out to investigate, and the disappearance of Nan Lingtian and the others did not stir up much of a storm. Of course, it is also possible that there are some internal changes we don't know about. After all, it is not convenient for our people to enter Songshi City." Xu Longyun sighed. "Being unable to receive news from the Immortal World in time is, after all, a hidden danger."

"Master, you have us!" Vision Eagle said. "It won't take long before the Immortal World is covered with the footprints of players, and a super-large-scale information network will be established in an instant."

"I hope so!" Xu Longyun took out a piece of paper filled with names from her bosom, handed it to Lin Bai, and said, "The remaining matter concerns those Lucky Accounts. They do indeed each have their own wonders; compared to ordinary players, they possess too many advantages."

Lin Bai took the paper.

Xu Longyun said with deep concern, "Master, the Game Company can grant players these strange abilities at will, which is almost equivalent to creating gods out of thin air. Do you really have the confidence to deal with that company?"

Lin Bai lowered his head to look at the paper:

【Black Unicorn】: Experience gained from every battle is 125% more than ordinary people;

【Silver Nightmare】: Archery Mastery; using bows and arrows ignores obstacles; for every level gained, bow and arrow lethality increases by 5%;

The first player was merely leveling up faster than others; in truth, it didn't manifest much of an advantage;

But the second player's Skill could be called terrifying. He wasn't just increasing by five percent; rather, it increased by five percent for every level gained. A player at level eighty-something would be equivalent to the Spirit Transformation realm. Calculating by these numbers, by the time he grows to the Bronze Realm, a single arrow shot out would likely be able to instantly kill a Platinum Star like Nan Lingtian;

If left to continue rising, perhaps he could be like Hou Yi and shoot the sun down with one arrow...

In the list that followed, there were those with morale boosts; teaming up with them in battle increases Spiritual Power recovery speed by fifty percent;

There was Defense Mastery; for every level gained, defense increases by 5%. By the time this guy finishes leveling up, he should be able to fight monsters without taking damage;

And there was Healing Mastery; for every level gained, healing spells increase by 5%...

Further down, there was Dynamic Vision that could see all the subtle movements, breathing, and heartbeats of an opponent; the Insight Eye that could See Through others' moves in battle and learn their Skills, and so on;

The special abilities granted to the Lucky Accounts were more exaggerated than the last. No wonder Xu Longyun was worried.

After all, no matter how genius these native-born people were, encountering these special ability users was almost like giving themselves away...

One or two lucky players might still be manageable.

But it was very clear that many ability users' Skills could be coordinated with each other. Once their Skills were combined, they were simply an unsolvable existence...

Perhaps Lin Bai wasn't afraid of them, but what about the people of the world? Lin Bai plus these Disciples of his only numbered thirty or forty people; how could they possibly look after the entire world?

There were already over a hundred Lucky Accounts attracted to the Justice Alliance by them; what about those who didn't want to come?

They could completely hide their abilities, cultivate and develop slowly. In a few days, when the Magpie Bridge connects to the Immortal World, they could likewise sneak into the Immortal World and grow rapidly. There were too many players; those managing the Magpie Bridge simply couldn't screen everyone...

The most critical point was that these special accounts were just casually thrown out by the Game Company. If they could throw out one batch, they could throw out a second;

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Bai wanted to use them to deal with the Heavenly Humans, Xu Longyun, upon learning of their abilities, even had the impulse to destroy their bodies in reality and destroy them completely. Letting such a group of people grow up was too terrifying.

What made Xu Longyun even more fortunate was that Lin Bai had come to their world; his laws could restrain the players, making them afraid to be too presumptuous.

She dared not imagine what the world she relied on for survival would eventually be ruined into by the players if not for Lin Bai.

Holy crap!

Lin Bai was also secretly shocked. In such an instant, he suddenly had a feeling: was the mastermind who installed the system on him really an opponent of the Game Company?

Some of the Skills of these Lucky Accounts were just too strong!

Even he looked on with envy.

There were even some that overlapped with his system rewards and were stronger than his rewards. For example, that Insight Eye was heaven knows how many times better than his Pupil of Seeing Remnants. It was simply infuriating!
