Chapter 1240 - 1238: Ticket to Yin City

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1238: Ticket to Yin City

As Li Shang spoke the words, four faces filled with confusion turned directly towards Gu Xi.

They looked at Gu Xi with disbelief, each with the same thought in their hearts.

How could it be so fast? Although Li Shang went ahead, and they set off afterward, they still hadn’t reached the entrance of the dungeon.

How could Gu Xi’s battle be over?

"Fourth brother, is this reliable?"

Li Ping asked immediately.

"Reliable. I went in personally and saw it myself. Look, I’ve already got control of the channel."

Li Shang stretched out his hand and showed Li Ping something.

Li Ping nodded upon seeing it.

It was obviously something from the dungeon, used to prove that a certain boss was dead or that a path had been opened.

Gu Xi had encountered such a situation before in raids.

You must defeat certain bosses and obtain proof before the path ahead opens up.

Now, after Li Shang produced such evidence, the Li family’s members looked at Gu Xi differently.

Their initial thought was for Gu Xi to tackle the boss first, and they’d follow slowly.

As long as Gu Xi could damage the boss, it was enough.

But they never expected that before they even reached the dungeon, Gu Xi had already finished his task.

So they surrounded Gu Xi, and Li Ping even directly laid hands on him.

"I can’t tell. You don’t seem to have an ounce of extra flesh, yet you have this kind of skill?"

Gu Xi felt someone pinch his arm and silently used his fitness skill clone.

In the next instant, Gu Xi’s muscles hardened like granite, undeniably on the physical attack path.

Also, it was the level of extreme fitness skill strength.

With a flex of the muscle on his arm, Gu Xi bounced off Li Ping’s hand.

Li Ping’s face flushed red as she reassessed Gu Xi.

"You can do it. Your power is comparable to those on the earth element power path.

I’m beginning to believe in your capabilities.

It’s just your level that grows somewhat slowly.

It seems you really invest all your energy into the Undead.

Actually, for a player, their own level is very important as well.

If you were at level 20, with your combat aura, we wouldn’t doubt your earlier words."

After speaking, Li Ping patted Gu Xi’s shoulder, although her other hand seemed to shift to Gu Xi’s abs.

Gu Xi didn’t immediately brush off Li Ping’s hand but quietly stepped back.

At this moment, Li Shang began explaining Gu Xi’s needs to everyone.

Regarding helping to buy a ticket, the Li family felt it was nothing significant.

It’s a minor issue, even if they got both tickets, it wouldn’t matter.

"I’ll send a message to my father asking him to handle it. We should proceed to the dungeon now. The path is open, and we should focus our time there."

Upon hearing Li Shang’s words, Li Gu swiftly made a decision.

Just as Li Shang initially told Gu Xi, this kind of matter seemed somewhat bothersome to Gu Xi.

But for the Li family, it was hardly an issue.

They could just casually contact their family and get it done.

Moreover, the Li family would appreciate such gestures.

In their view, it was all about building relations.

After Gu Xi expressed his thanks, Li Gu retained Gu Xi’s information, then followed Li Ping into the dungeon.

Gu Xi noticed that as Li Ping entered, she seemed to be dragged in by Li Gu, not forgetting to wink at Gu Xi repeatedly as she was led away.

Watching them leave, Gu Xi contemplated, finally asking for directions, preparing to stay at the Li Family Hotel.

Although Li Shang mentioned that Hundred Directions City had three Li Family Hotels.

Just by hearing the name, Gu Xi knew these would be directly operated by the Li family.

If Gu Xi wanted to keep a low profile, naturally he should pick another place, but as he’s waiting for the Li family to help purchase his train ticket.

He naturally put himself directly under the Li family’s watchful eye.

So from the start, Gu Xi didn’t plan to make too many choices; the Li Family Hotel was ideal.

Sure enough, upon entering the Li Family Hotel, members of the Li family were informed.

Even though the news was circulated on a small scale.

Within the Li family’s upper echelons, some already knew about Gu Xi’s background.

They knew precisely what Gu Xi had done.

Thus, they checked tickets to Yin City, and in advance, purchased one for the upcoming week and sent it to the hotel where Gu Xi stayed.

By that time, Gu Xi had just entered his room, laid down all his weapons and equipment, and prepared to return to Yalidov City, contemplating whether to take the opportunity to do a raid.

Unexpectedly, just after he closed the door, someone knocked.

Curious, Gu Xi opened the door, finding a man standing outside, surrounded by a blue combat aura, wrapped in the wind.

"Hello, you must be Gu Xi, right? I’m here to deliver your ticket."

The visitor immediately explained his intent. "You’re just in time; the cross-star realm train departs the day after tomorrow. If you arrived a bit later, you might have had to wait until next week."

As he spoke, he handed the ticket to Gu Xi.

Taking the ticket, Gu Xi’s eyes lit up.

The ticket indicated the route from the Wind and Earth Domain towards the Netherworld.

Gu Xi thought for a moment and realized that the Wind and Earth Domain referred to the White Stone Plateau’s star realm, and Netherworld to the Yin City’s star realm.

Sure enough, upon careful inspection, Gu Xi found small text under the Wind and Earth Domain saying (White Stone Plateau) and similar text under Netherworld (Yin City).

Clearly, this was the appearance of official tickets.

This time, Gu Xi met good people. Without the Li family’s help, while Gu Xi could still get this ticket, it might not have been so easy.

Meanwhile, at Hundred Directions City’s station, a duo clad in black cloaks queued at the ticket booth.

Nearby people focused their attention on them.

After all, near White Stone City, aside from places like the Black Market, most players preferred wearing blue or yellow; even mages wore robes of similar colors.

Black robes were indeed rare.

However, the pair hardly cared.

While queueing, the woman held a book she read.

The man, meanwhile, peered around with a gaze suggesting he was searching for the dead.

They paid no heed to others’ gossip.

Until they reached the ticket window.

"Two tickets to Yin City!"
