Chapter 1495: Chapter 480: Scorpio’s Invitation

"Hi! Wen Xishu! It’s great, I finally caught you!"

The joyful shout interrupted Wen Xishu’s silent mourning for his recently departed friend.

Wen Xishu turned around, and although he hadn’t seen Maeve’s true form, he knew it was Maeve.

"Kelly." He smiled faintly, pressing the recent subtle emotions to the bottom of his heart.

"Hahaha, don’t call me that name anymore, I’m finally free now! I’m Maeve... but I’ll miss these days." Maeve had dark red hair tied in twin ponytails, looking quite playful and cute.

Wen Xishu said:

"Miss them? Why?"

Maeve nodded:

"This game is actually too dangerous, losing means being enslaved, which is too scary. But it’s fun. If there were no risks, I would want to spend time strategizing it."

"Reality has many troubles, like making equipment, while in the game... yes, it’s quite perfect. This game really let me experience what I wanted to feel."

Wen Xishu suddenly wanted to say thank you, on behalf of Lu Mingxuan.

He recalled that in one layer of the questions, indeed, more than thirty percent of people liked this game.

The rest who chose not to like it were probably due to the game’s side effects.

Maeve said:

"By the way, where are you from? I just looked around this place, and it even has the Red House."

"I was so afraid, luckily those Red Houses moved away from the mansion after leaving, always fleeing from it in panic. Normally, I wouldn’t dare stay too close to these monsters radiating red aura."

In Maeve’s eyes, there was a bit of admiration for Wen Xishu.

After all, the things the Red House couldn’t achieve, Wen Xishu did.

She knew well that even with fully enhanced weapons, she likely couldn’t defeat the final boss.

Wen Xishu is definitely not simple.

"I come from Wind City."

"Ah? That’s so far... how did you get here? Wait... Wind City?" Maeve was shocked.

Wen Xishu said:

"What’s the matter?"

Maeve thought for a moment, blinking her eyes a few times:

"Okay, it makes sense. If someone else said this, I’d definitely suspect it’s a lie, but since you said it, I believe it."

"No wonder you’re so impressive, it turns out a place like Wind City is a safe area for you?"

Wen Xishu was indeed curious about Wind City’s reputation like this.

"Wind City... is it dangerous?"

"Of course, there have been multiple monster sieges, none of them successful, and there are so many Red Houses they could dye the sky red; you tell me if it’s dangerous." Maeve felt fearful even mentioning Wind City.

Obviously, in her eyes, Wind City was even more terrifying than Infinite Mansion.

Wen Xishu nodded, that clarified things.

"If I could ensure your safety in Wind City, would you be willing to go there?"

Maeve widened her eyes:

"Safety? Wind City? Are you someone really untouchable in Wind City?"

Wen Xishu did not deny it:

"If you knew a bit more about Wind City, you’ll realize I indeed am an untouchable existence there."

Maeve was shocked:

"You mean you’re that powerful?"

Wen Xishu said:

"So why not consider helping me out? You can still pursue your passion—enhancing weapons."

"Although this time, the weapons you enhance aren’t ordinary weapons. They’re the weapons used by the Red Houses, some might be quite sanity-draining."

Tang Rui’s box, upon opening to find it was actually a person, was not something ordinary weapon experts could accept.

Wen Xishu also wasn’t sure just how full of talents Wind City was. Perhaps there were even more bizarrely-shaped weapons than Tang Rui’s box.

Maeve wasn’t frightened, instead she seemed intrigued:

"Wow, it sounds cool!"

"But... there’s one problem, I don’t have the ability to walk from Deep City to Wind City."

"Are you going to escort me?"

Wen Xishu really didn’t know the way to Wind City.

At most, he could set Maeve up with a whitelist, letting people in Wind City know Maeve couldn’t be touched and was one of his own.

But sending Maeve to Wind City was a tough task for Wen Xishu.

"Ah... Seeing your troubled look, you’re not going to make me walk to Wind City alone, are you? I... am really quite weak." Maeve saw Wen Xishu’s dilemma.

But just at this moment, "game pause" happened, and Maeve suddenly stopped moving, maintaining a slightly embarrassed look.

"Hey, brother, you really got it done in just a few days! Seriously impressive."

Scorpio’s voice appeared.

Wen Xishu wasn’t affected by the pause range, he turned around swiftly, seeing a child smiling, wearing a blue little suit.

Wen Xishu’s eyes were somewhat cold:

"You still dare show up."

"Of course, I’m here to help you air lift a few people over, like the An Family Brothers looking at you with shock and admiration not far away. And this lady Maeve. Brother, you definitely need my help right now, don’t you?" Scorpio blinked playfully.

He understood well, Lu Mingxuan’s death made Wen Xishu very angry, so he chose timing when Wen Xishu could use his help.

Wen Xishu didn’t show any eased expression because of this, he only said:

"Did you know Lu Mingxuan would end up like this?"

Scorpio sighed helplessly:

"I actually don’t want to discuss this topic, brother. I gave him a life like a game. Someone like him is suited to live in a game."

"Otherwise, he would likely die quietly during the apocalypse, it’s very brutal. I could foresee this ending, but I didn’t expect brother, you could really create this ending."
