Well, for the five-digit crystals, Ji Chen felt that it was worth investing some effort into the investigation. This could be considered an exchange of interests with Miligas.

After all, Miligas must have had a reason to present these supposedly elven spirit crystals to him as a reward.

As for how long it would take to gather intelligence, he couldn’t just wait around. During this time, Ji Chen decided to visit the Irante Temple that Miligas mentioned.

He had a significant interest in this temple established by the gods of the Orderly Divine Lineage.

The power of the ocean within him was indirectly bestowed by a god from the Orderly Divine Lineage. Perhaps he could learn more about this power within the Irante Temple.

On the third day of his arrival in Maple City, Ji Chen led his heroes and army of the Crown of the Ocean to the border of the Maple Principality.

The Irante Temple was located on the eastern coast of the Maple Principality and could be quickly reached by sea. Although Ji Chen didn’t know the exact location, he didn’t need to search meticulously. Along the way, there were many player-owned ships heading to the Irante Temple, so a little inquiry would reveal the way.

The Irante Temple had a reputation throughout the Northern Continent.

To begin with, it was due to the divine gifts left behind, and secondly, because numerous beings had received the blessings of the gods for hundreds of thousands of years, resulting in their swift ascent.

Thirdly, when challenging the Irante Temple, units wouldn’t truly die; they could be resurrected after exiting, which attracted many players.

Many players sustained their lives by continuously challenging the temple to receive rewards.

When Ji Chen arrived at this massive temple built of white stone on the coast, the square in front of the temple was bustling with activity, with people flowing like a market.

Among them, one could easily spot players sitting on the ground and shouting, wearing all sorts of mismatched equipment.

“Looking for a team, three people to challenge the tower, small-scale war scenario! At least three hundred Tier 4 1-star units needed!”

“Two-person tower challenge, large-scale war scenario, hilly terrain, need a partner with a lot of tank units! I have plenty of powerful ranged units, absolutely reliable!”

“City defense mode, medium-scale war scenario, need three more for a ten-person team, looking for someone with strong ranged harvesting units, a rare opportunity, hurry!”

This scene of players shouting to form teams made Ji Chen feel like he had entered a scene from an online game dungeon group.

The Irante Temple had special rules; creatures entering the nearby area couldn’t use any mana or energy, and unit troops could only be stored in a few special unit storage areas around; they couldn’t enter the square.

This is to prevent fighting and overcrowding issues.

Ji Chen didn’t bring his army with him, but he still attracted the attention of many players, who looked at him with either surprise or envy—

Of course, this was a given. Anyone surrounded by so many powerful hero units would elicit such reactions, especially when they couldn’t even see the panel information of these heroes; it was all question marks.

It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

At this moment, Ji Chen wasn’t wearing a mask but had voluntarily hidden his panel information—this was the effect of a high-level character.

However, his handsome face and extraordinary aura caught the attention of some female players involuntarily.

“This guy looks so handsome. I wonder if he’s a player or a native?”

“He must be a native! Players don’t have hero units that look this strong, do they?! He might even be a member of an indigenous noble family that has been around for tens of thousands of years…”

Once this was said, the surrounding players nodded in agreement, and one player breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s great then. My position as the most handsome player is secured.”

Several female players nearby looked at the male player with a sly grin, feeling dumbfounded. How could this sneaky guy have the courage to say something like that?

While there was talk and speculation about Ji Chen, no one dared to approach him, given his imposing presence and unknown background.

Ji Chen continued to approach the massive temple, pondering how to enter and start the challenges within.

As he stood there contemplating, a mature-looking male player, surrounded by a few younger players, came over and greeted him with a slight bow.

“Player, is this your first time at the Irante Temple?”

Ji Chen looked at him in surprise and asked, “You know I’m a player?”

In general, if there was a significant level difference between the two parties, the lower-level player wouldn’t be able to see any information about the higher-level player unless the higher-level player was willing to share it.

Ji Chen had already reached the high level of 48, so logically, those below level 40 shouldn’t be able to peek at his information.

The mature-looking player explained, “As I entered, I happened to notice you placing your army in the unit storage area, which gave away that you’re a player.

My forum name is Tian Shu, and I’m the captain of this team.”

Ji Chen finally understood and nodded, saying, “My forum name is Islander.”

“Oh, Islander. Are you the same Islander who goes by the title of the number 1 player in the Western Mid-Ocean on the forums?”

Tian Shu was stunned, and his face displayed astonishment as he quickly asked, leaving the other six members of his team equally shocked.

Ji Chen gave a faint smile and nodded, “That’s just a nickname bestowed upon me by some well-meaning individuals; it’s not that significant..”
