Chapter 216: Bliss Faction, Welfare Intelligence

【Purchase successful. 39,000 Bliss Points deducted. Initiating "Mirage Mist Body" bloodline enhancement.】

The enhancement stele released black light that enveloped Yang Xiu, forming a massive cocoon of energy.

He immediately felt his body become like a boiling furnace.

His blood turned into scalding mist coursing through his veins, and every single bone let out a wail of unbearable strain.

Black energy ceaselessly washed over his body, like a heavy hammer pounding him again and again.

Looking down, he saw fine, dense cracks spreading across the surface of his skin.

The searing pain was like ten million red-hot steel needles stabbing into his marrow. Yang Xiu threw back his head, and a beast-like roar burst from his throat.

No anesthesia, no mental shielding... the bloodline enhancement required him to endure it with sheer willpower. He watched his own bones shatter inch by inch beneath his splitting skin, yet under the shroud of black energy, bizarrely no blood sprayed out—only beads of blood seeped slowly forth.

At that moment, black mist rose from the cracks between his bones, reassembling the broken fragments and weaving them into a translucent, glazed-glass-like structure.

This enhancement proceeded simultaneously inside and out, as if an invisible surgeon were orchestrating this bizarre bloodline-replacement operation.

Calling it a bloodline, to Yang Xiu it felt more like a full-body replacement.

"Shit!"

Yang Xiu clenched his teeth as his ribs exploded within his chest cavity.

Under the stimulus of the violent agony, he nearly passed out.

Just as Yang Xiu thought he might not be able to endure this agonizing transformation, his pupils abruptly contracted into two silver slits.

On his retinas, originally stained red by blood, kaleidoscope-like illusory light appeared.

Countless overlapping scenes of the real and unreal flowed through his vision—giant whales dancing on coral reefs, a bronze city suspended upside-down in the clouds, a desert oasis burning with phosphor fire. The bloodline memories of the Mirage Mist Body were rewriting his very life code, yet the pain had bizarrely vanished.

The problem was, no alert about crossing the warning threshold sounded in his mind.

Which proved the 100% pain-blocking mode had not been activated.

The sensation was wondrous—countless illusions flickered before his eyes, each one bringing him a sense of pleasure.

"Guide-bro, what's going on?"

【Bliss-brand anesthetic, administered to you in a small dose. I was worried the transformation process might seriously affect your mental state. If some outsider accidentally stumbled into the Bliss Palace, the dose the Lord of Bliss uses on them is three hundred thousand times what you're receiving now.】

Hearing the Guide's explanation, Yang Xiu immediately understood the reason.

He was now an elite player, no longer a newbie the Lord of Fortune could casually sacrifice.

Naturally, the treatment was different.

The transformation continued. What seeped from the cracks in his skin was no longer beads of blood, but mist shimmering with a pearlescent glow.

This mist did not dissipate; it condensed into liquid form and flowed back into his body along the cracks. Wherever it passed, his flesh and texture self-repaired like living jade.

No longer in pain, Yang Xiu looked down at the location of his heart.

Beneath the shell of a body now reduced to bare bones, what pulsed within his chest was no longer a living heart, but a nebula-like vortex of energy endlessly collapsing and expanding.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out from behind him. Yang Xiu switched to the Guide's perspective to look.

He was shocked to discover that his entire spine had split in the middle, and the instant it left his body it misted into tens of thousands of silver threads.

Then it merged with the black light shrouding him and reassembled.

When the new spine reformed, its surface was covered in flowing dark patterns, as if a single thought could dissolve this backbone back into mist.

The rest of his body was also reorganizing at this moment.

When the very last bone was reconstructed, Yang Xiu tremblingly raised his palm. Three spiral-shaped light patterns had appeared on it, each corresponding to one of the core abilities inherited from the Mirage Mist Body.

He switched to the Guide's perspective to look at himself.

The cracks covering his entire body twisted at this moment, and his old skin flaked off piece by piece like a weathered clay figurine.

His newborn skin glowed with the soft light of moonlight passing through thin clouds.

When the last wisp of mist burrowed back into his body, Yang Xiu crashed heavily to the ground.

A halo-like faint light flowed beneath his skin, and now every breath left a brief, solidified mist-trail in the air.

The raised palm displayed a translucent quality he had never seen before, as if it could at any moment dissolve into billions of suspended crystalline motes.

【Mirage Mist Body initial modification complete. Awakening degree: 13.7%.】

The cold, mechanical voice of the Bliss Lord echoed in his mind.

By now he had completely changed in appearance. Under the Guide's perspective, he had a youthful face and silver-blue vertical pupils.

He tried to clench his fist, and his entire forearm suddenly misted into a semi-transparent state. Continuing to exert force, his body shattered bit by bit into tiny crystals.

A single thought, and his right arm reformed.

But some crystals still clung to the surface of his skin, unable to merge back into his body.

Yang Xiu knew this was because his mastery over his new body was still insufficient.

This was also the greatest difference between Bliss players and their legitimate counterparts.

After every enhancement, he had to enter the illusion realm provided by the training space to familiarize himself with his abilities—he couldn't perfectly master them the moment they were embedded, like Painful Soul abilities.

Crack!

The massive black cocoon shattered.

Yang Xiu's figure reappeared before the black stele.

He turned his head and saw that his teammates were also wrapped in black cocoons of light, all undergoing bloodline enhancement transformations.

Touching the stele again, Yang Xiu spent his points to enter the training space.

He needed to master the use of this new body as quickly as possible—everything had to be figured out by reading the manual.

Half a day later, Yang Xiu's figure returned to the Death Space.

His teammates had also returned from the training space at this moment.

He looked up.

The stone statue chose the "Collapsing Rock Body Bloodline" enhancement.

His height had increased noticeably; his cyan-black skin was covered with cracked basalt layer patterns, and molten crimson-gold veins were embedded in the grooves of every muscle.

Six-prism-shaped crystals had proliferated at his shoulder blades; his spine protruded segment by segment like a crustal fault, with a serrated rock spike extending from the end.

The most conspicuous feature was his right arm, a size larger than his left, with a ferocious and domineering appearance.

It no longer resembled his original form.

Black Snake chose the "Phantom Body Bloodline" enhancement.

The black robe she originally wore had been replaced by a set of tight-fitting clothes that clung to her curvaceous figure, perfectly outlining her slender waist and long legs; her skin had become as Bai Xi and delicate as mutton-fat jade, radiating a faint luster as if shrouded by a thin veil, exuding a faint yet palpable aura of temptation.

A head of jet-black, lustrous long hair cascaded like a waterfall behind her; the tips curled slightly, swaying gently with her movements, adding even more charm.

Her eyes had become bright, flashing with a deep green light like a cat's eyes in the dark night; an unintentional blink could captivate the soul.

Beneath her Gao Ting nose bridge was a slightly upturned red lip; at this moment, she was looking at him with a Shen Se Qi expression of anticipation:

"Captain, my Poison Sting weapon has also reached Level 5."

As Black Snake spoke, her brows were like a blooming rose, vibrant and dripping with beauty.

"Mm."

In response, Yang Xiu nodded coldly.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Black Snake's eyes, but she quickly suppressed the emotion.

"You can all skillfully master your new bodies, right?" Yang Xiu continued to ask.

Facing the inquiry, the players of the Painful Painful Minghun team nodded one after another.

Originally, there were three days left before the mandatory mission would forcibly begin, but Yang Xiu had no intention of resting.

As a legitimate player, he clearly knew that all factions in the Monster World were striving to develop.

The intensity of future wars would gradually increase.

To ensure his teammates' survival, he had to accelerate their growth and demonstrate their value to Zhu De Xiang Fa.

Perhaps one day in the future, this group of teammates would be heavily relied upon by Zhu De Xiang Fa.

Just like the champion fighters in the eyes of the Ancient God Clan.

Once this step was reached, the mandatory mission would end completely, and teammates would no longer be cannon fodder who could die at will.

He carefully analyzed the method Zhu De Xiang Fa used to build the player legion and thought of the Retrograde Tide Legion.

Both were multi-race fusion legion models; a large-scale war model would inevitably be established in the future.

At that time, capable Zhu De Xiang Fa players would stand out, command sub-legions, and achieve great undertakings.

Regarding his decision, the teammates had no objections.

Arriving at the teleportation point, a list of selectable missions appeared in Yang Xiu's mind.

【Di Ku Shi Jie: Kill Wailing Bone Warriors in the Di Ku Shi Jie scene and collect Bone Spirits (0/300).】

【Di Ku Shi Jie: Complete the trial mission in the "Mao Xuan Feng" scene of the Di Ku Shi Jie according to the guide requirements and obtain trial rewards.】

【Winter Snowfield: Enter the Winter Snowfield region to steal the node resources guarded by Snow Ridge Great Wilderness: Void Yuan Stones (Energy Intensity Calculation: 0/150000).】

【Winter Snowfield: Kill invading Player Clan warriors (Elite Assessment Mission - 150 points reward for each Player Clan warrior killed); you may proceed to the teleportation point to end the mission at any time.】

【Free Mode: You may proceed to the region where the Zhu De Xiang Fa Palace teleportation point is located for free exploration; after obtaining the required resource amount, you may return.】

After becoming an elite player, the mission mode changed.

One could select missions from the list to execute, or apply to proceed to the region where the Zhu De Xiang Fa Palace node is located for free exploration.

According to the guide's explanation, the missions in the list were resource intelligence collected by Zhu De Xiang Fa over many years of lying in wait.

However, for the sake of caution, Zhu De Xiang Fa had never stepped out of the Zhu De Xiang Fa Space, nor had he ever let his own people go out.

This caused the intelligence to remain merely intelligence, never converted into resources.

Now, these locations where resources might exist are being issued to us Zhu De Xiang Fa players in the form of missions to explore.

In terms of cowardice.

The cowardly Die ranks first in the eyes of forum players; every time the lunar phase switches, it avoids the world by hibernating and never fights a battle without a chance of victory.

The second place is this Zhu De Xiang Fa, who possesses immense strength but chooses to hide in an independent space.

Perhaps only on the day he becomes a god through hiding will Zhu De Xiang Fa step out of the Zhu De Xiang Fa Main Hall to bathe in natural sunlight.

Compared to Shu Yan, Zhu De Xiang Fa is like another extreme.

These two guys both possess the ambition to stand at the peak of the Monster World.

Zhu De Xiang Fa's idea is to advance steadily; knowing the Monster World is full of dangers, he will not take any risks.

During this period, he will enhance his strength through the massive resource profits generated by the Zhu De Xiang Fa Entertainment City and invest in researching new legion systems, thereby gradually ascending to the peak.

Shu Yan is exactly the opposite.

Shu Yan also believes the Monster World is full of dangers, but future time is limited, so he must seize the opportunity to become strong.

High risk also means high reward; he views powerful enemies as whetstones; every turnaround in a desperate situation is a rebirth from fire; he chooses the path of challenging, defeating, and then devouring powerful enemies to grow.

The only similarity between the two is that they both attach great importance to the research and development of the legion system.

Zhu De Xiang Fa's legion testing ground in the Winter Snowfield and Shu Yan's Inspiration World are both technical research centers for developing and testing new systems.

Facing the mission options in the list, Yang Xiu fell into deep thought.

He wanted to minimize encounters with his fellow countrymen.

Only after becoming a Zhu De Xiang Fa player did he deeply realize how terrifying his group of fellow countrymen was.

Fearless of death, bolstered by rules, perfect control of abilities, infinite margin for error... if encountered, only a comprehensive crushing of their own strength would allow for a fight.

If the strength gap was not large, it would be a nightmare.

As a former legitimate player, he clearly understood the combat mindset of this group of fellow countrymen.

Even if I can't win, I'll take a few down with me before I die—I'll trade my life for yours.

Bliss players fight primarily to survive; when encountering a rival squad of similar strength, they'll inevitably force a swap and kill several of their own teammates.

He was truly afraid.

These bastards will force swaps—there's no stopping them.

Once they taunt and bind, they forcibly restrict teammates' movement, trading a whole group's lives for your few.

If a fellow dies, it's no loss—he gains one kill; but he himself could lose so badly he'd cry out loud.

So avoid it whenever possible.

Especially since the quest list included an activity mission in Beneath Di Zhao Mountains—something Yang Xiu saw as nothing short of a suicide mission.

As a member of the Divine Hall Guild, he had once daily accompanied the Divine King on missions in Beneath Di Zhao Mountains.

Going to Beneath Di Zhao Mountains to hunt bullies felt like going home—he never felt anything amiss.

But now it was different.

From the perspective of a Bliss player, this was clearly a hell-level mission.

No normal life could survive here.

Earth Nourish bullies, player squads, and battle insects—three factions locked in chaotic warfare formed an unsolvable death arena; the newbie village environment was a literal flesh grinder.

Once war erupted, life ended in an instant.

He dared lead a squad here? His teammates might not leave one alive—it was truly terrifying.

But Yang Xiu also noticed something odd in the quest list.

Many resource-gathering quests were clearly outdated.

For instance, one mission in Beneath Di Zhao Mountains required entering the underground space to retrieve resources left behind by the Ice Blade.

But the problem was, the Ice Blade clan's underground node had long since merged into Beneath Di Zhao Village—where was this resource now?

Even Iron Shell Beetle silk had become a discontinued resource.

This quest couldn't be completed—even if you survived the newbie village chaos, once you investigated, you'd have to return early with no reward.

At this moment, Yang Xiu made his choice—he reached for the Free Exploration mode.

The quest list updated automatically.

Free mode offered many destinations, mostly across the Pale Continent, many still unexplored by players.

These regions all had stable teleportation points from the Bliss Palace, most already mapped by the Lord of Bliss.

Not long after, their figures were shrouded in black light—the teleportation began.

…

After the sensation of weightlessness passed, Yang Xiu's squad arrived at a location north of the Misty Coast on the Pale Continent: the Path of the Dead.

Before them stretched a region shrouded in thick fog, visibility extremely low.

The damp air reeked of decay, nauseating.

Beneath their feet lay soft humus, crunching faintly underfoot with a "crunch."

Towering tombstones surrounded them, crawling with dark red vines that pulsed like veins, as if drawing nutrients from the earth.

In the distance came the sound of bones grinding—sometimes near, sometimes far.

Scene information surfaced in Yang Xiu's mind.

【Path of the Dead.】

Background: This was a battlefield shrouded by the Evil Moon, once one of the regional war zones where the Monster World's native races fought the Black Tide, burying countless ancient warriors. They fought for glory in life, and after death, were corrupted by dark forces, becoming Cursed Soldier warriors. The graveyard was saturated with heavy Black Tide energy, continuously spawning Corrosion Cores and demonic lifeforms.

Scene Analysis: No Black Tide Command-Type Warriors have descended.

Lunar Phase: Waning Crescent.

…

Through this description, Yang Xiu immediately understood the scene's situation.

In the past, the Monster World's native races had waged war against the Black Tide across various regions.

The Burial Ground before Beneath Di Zhao Village was one such place—this land beneath their feet was another.

It was certain that the Black Tide commander who once descended here had died in battle, but no new demonic warrior had ever replaced him.

The lifeforms active here now were primarily Corrosion Cores spawned by the Evil Moon and Cursed Soldiers resurrected by the Evil Moon after death.

The situation was much like their newbie village days.

With the environment clarified, Yang Xiu finally exhaled.

In domains ruled by the Evil Moon without demonic warrior overlords, the spawned demons were mindless—easier to handle.

But Yang Xiu did not act rashly.

His squad lacked the Hawk-Head Demon's perception traits—they must proceed with extreme caution.

Yang Xiu crouched, picked up a rusted, broken sword from the ground; the inscriptions on the hilt automatically twisted and translated in his vision:

【Hyperdimensional Divine Protection—Soulfire Regiment 1927th Squad Soldier—Wu Feng.】

Below, a single eye was carved in some kind of blood; scanning it revealed this message:

【With my blood, I fight for the glory of Beneath Di Zhao. Where the Hyperdimensional Will points, my blade follows. Every drop of blood flows for faith. If I fall, may the Gods protect my homeland. May my sacrifice restore Shanhe. Though my body perishes, my faith endures. May my soul forever serve the Hyperdimensional. Let my remains seep into the earth, etching loyalty.】

With a light pressure, the broken sword shattered.

Through the parsed message, Yang Xiu could imagine the brutality of that war.

Countless warriors like Ice Blade and Wu Feng had rushed forward, sacrificing themselves to resist the terrifying Black Tide.

But most had died.

Compared to the legendary ancient era, the intensity of war in the Monster World had drastically diminished.

The peak-level combatants had mostly been wiped out.

But precisely because the peak-level combat power was exhausted, countless descending forces poured in, giving them room to grow and rise.

A new round of peak battles is brewing.

It can be foreseen that in the future, peak battlefields comparable to Catastrophe-level wars will return once more.

Ancient powerful clans fall, and wars between new powers will begin.

Of course, among them there will inevitably be former peak powerful clans returning to the world stage.

For example, the Terror Black Tide — this force that nearly crushed Beneath Di Zhao will make a comeback.

Another example: the player legion representing the Di Zhao descendants, nominally also one of the ancient forces.

As for the Bliss Clan, Shu Yan, Ancient God Clan and other forces, they are all rising stars of Monster World.

Thinking about it is somewhat bitter. Looking at the future from the perspective of the Lord of Welfare, the road to the peak is unbearably arduous.

Looking at the future from the perspective of a pirated player is even worse.

Even the Lord of Bliss may not be able to rise to prominence; these bottom-tier wage-slaves struggle with every step, and might one day be buried alongside their boss.

Trying to step out of the player's perspective, he suddenly realized that the road forward for other forces is thick with thorns — every step forward might be pierced by sharp thorns until blood flows freely.

Difficulties he once easily overlooked are now densely arrayed before his eyes.

For Yang Xiu, the hardest challenge of becoming a Bliss player is not the trial's difficulties, but the change in mindset.

He no longer has the carefree ease of before.

In the past he could make decisions casually, but now every choice has become incomparably difficult, and every attempt may carry the risk of failure.

This oppressive feeling drove him to learn to think.

This is still with a safety net in his heart, thinking that at worst he dies and settles, returns to the village to keep beating up the local tyrant.

But if he really were a Bliss player... just thinking about it feels suffocating, the future pitch dark.

Now the only issue worrying him is a single one: how to protect his teammates well.

His safety net is returning to the village; in his teammates' eyes, the safety net is him.

All their hope and sense of security are placed upon him.

This is pressure, and also motivation.

He hopes his teammates can grow safely, and ideally in the future break free from the Lord of Welfare's control and escape back to their own homeland.

His thoughts returned to the present; he led the squad members to begin exploring the Path of the Dead scenario.

Before long, they erupted into battle with Curse Soldiers.

But the process of battle was completely different from the experience as a player.

Each Curse Soldier does not get directly decomposed after death; one must pick up the Evil Crystals to count as gaining profit — very troublesome.

But being a Bliss player is not without advantages.

The Lord of Welfare's hundred-billion subsidy: the profit from each Curse Soldier of the same hunting level is 1.5 times that of when he was a player (no 30% profit cut, plus an additional 30% profit subsidy, minus resource conversion loss).

The speed of net worth growth under the Lord of Welfare is far faster than it was with the legitimate players.

Sometimes special scenario quests are also given, and the rewards upon completion are even higher.

Four days later.

The squad, feeling utterly exhausted in body and mind, had already completed their hunting quota but was still continuing the mission.

At this moment, the squad led by Yang Xiu was battling a Corrosion Core.

Through tacit coordination and the high mobility of the Assassin skills, they swiftly dodged the attacks of the Corrosion Core-controlled Evil Spirits.

From the rear, Black Serpent fired critical bullets from time to time, dealing damage to the Corrosion Core.

But just as the battle was about to end.

Dozens of figures tore through the fog at extreme speed and attacked.

"Boss, a player squad!"

Hearing his teammate's warning, Yang Xiu's heart jolted.

He hadn't expected a player squad to have explored all the way here.

Trouble!

He whipped his head back to look.

The figure leading the player squad wielded a Force-Brutal Axe, his build burly and massive, his entire body wrapped in heavy golden armor, only his face exposed — the stern features as if carved by blade and axe, his eyes burning with a bloodthirsty light under the Blood Ignite characteristic, like a maddened savage bull, charging forward with crushing pressure.

Five players followed at his side, their entire bodies shrouded in the Qi Barrier characteristic.

He swept an Analyze over, and the target's information surfaced in Yang Xiu's mind.

【Li Tie (Player)】:

Target Information:

Star Vein Combination: Force-Brutal (Lv. 62), Qi Barrier (Lv. 58), Returning Wind Whip (Lv. 12), Bloodthirst (Lv. 32), Extreme Speed (Lv. 39), Qi Devour (Lv. 45), Unyielding (Lv. 50), Blood Chain Pull (Lv. 23).

Body Tempering Level: 9.

Attribute Information:...

Holy shit!

Yang Xiu, who had originally wanted to fight, was instantly dumbfounded upon seeing the target's analyzed information.

How could he not know Li Tie.

The player circle calls him Lord Tie, a veteran from the initial test, an old regiment commander.

The record holder for single-handedly containing five Meng Yuan Chu.

A fierce man at the top of the leaderboards.

Now a Bliss player, Yang Xiu's heart was instantly filled with terror upon confirming the opponent's identity.

How can we fight... fight your mother!

At this moment, red light flared on Li Tie's right hand, and Yang Xiu instantly realized the opponent was about to unleash the "Blood Soul Tether" trait.

He decisively begged for mercy in the regional voice channel:

"Elder Tie, don't do this, we're on the same side. Our Guild Leader, Shen Wang, is an old friend of yours. I'm currently running a Death Space dungeon quest; please don't kill us."

"Hmm?"

Li Tie, in his charge state, suddenly raised his head.

His gaze swept over the Painful Painful Minghun squad members, focusing on Yang Xiu, who stood not far away with only a scarlet flame marker glowing above his head.

As his brows furrowed slightly, Li Tie's charging speed dropped abruptly.

"Kill!"

Just then, the stone statue figure of Yang Xiu's squad leaped up, charging toward Li Tie to absorb the impact.

It was too late for Yang Xiu to stop them.

Boom!

After a deafening crash, the two figures collided fiercely. Qi energy on Li Tie's body suddenly erupted, blasting the stone statue figure backward.

Yet at that moment, the stone statue suddenly grabbed Li Tie's shoulder, trying to use the recoil force to pull Li Tie down.

But Li Tie reacted faster; his right hand's forceful axe vanished, he reached out to press the stone statue's right hand, and with a sudden surge of strength, dragged it close.

Stumbling, the stone statue's neck was suddenly choked by an arm as hard as steel; completely overpowered in strength, the stone statue was slammed hard to the ground by that arm holding its neck.

Boom!

Gravel flew, and in the face of absolute power suppression, the stone statue's resistance seemed utterly meaningless.

"Boss, run!"

Sensing something was wrong, the stone statue's eyes glowed with bloodlust, preparing to sacrifice itself to buy time for his teammates' retreat.

Upon initial contact, he realized his squad was no match for these guys.

"Kill."

But just as he was about to fight to the death, a huge foot loomed large before his eyes, kicking him hard in the face and sending him flying back into the group.

After the stone statue figure hit the ground, it stumbled backward several steps before regaining its stance.

Raising his head, the look in his eyes toward Li Tie was one of disbelief.

"You guys go ahead; we're leaving."

Li Tie gave this reply in the regional voice channel, then glanced at the stone statue, who was still bleeding from the nose, before leading the Veteran Corps members to continue their charge toward the distance.

"So strong. Luckily, they don't seem to be targeting us, otherwise we'd be done for."

The stone statue wiped away his nosebleed, gazing at the retreating back of the Veteran Corps, a look of disbelief rising in his eyes.

"I almost died too." Black Snake spoke up at that moment.

Yang Xiu and the others turned to look at Black Snake; the hand holding her Poison Spear was trembling, and a thin bloodstain had appeared on her Bai Xi neck at some point.

Just moments ago, as she was about to pull the trigger, a dark shadow had swept past from behind, leaving a bloodstain on her neck with a dagger before vanishing in a flash to follow her teammates away.

With the crisis averted, Yang Xiu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

This was one of the reasons he didn't want to encounter fellow countrymen.

While fellow countrymen fear no death, there are also many fierce warriors among them; his squad's strength was simply no match for the top-tier players on the leaderboard.

Luckily, the Guild Leader "Shen Wang" knew the Veteran Corps, and used the Guild Master's face to resolve the issue.

If a real fight had broken out, all his teammates would have died.

As for revenge, he could take it out on any external faction; even if he lacked the power to contend for now, there would be opportunities in the future.

But seeking revenge against the Veteran Corps of their own faction was nothing short of wishful thinking.

"Quest complete; let's go back."

After this battle, Yang Xiu completely lost any desire to stay and continue hunting here.

The quest was already finished, and the appearance of the Veteran Corps proved this area was no longer safe.

Meng Yuan Chu Altar.

Just as Yang Xiu was preparing to end the quest and return to Death Space.

Qi Sheng, following the guided consciousness, was browsing the quest information list within Death Space.

These resource intelligence reports were collected by the Lord of Benefits during his long years of lurking in an independent space; although much of the intelligence was already outdated.

But he still decided to make a copy; perhaps it would come in handy.

Later, he could release it to players in the form of a hidden quest, letting them explore and gather resources.

The Lord of Benefits' intelligence is truly delicious!
