Chapter 67 There are 6 more people as powerful as me!
[System notification: Chen You has accepted your friend request.]
A crisp notification sound plunged both the City of Eternal Night and the City of Zhao into an eerie silence.
Yueying stood there, watching Chen You's back, her expression extremely complicated.
Shock, humiliation, and resentment ultimately transformed into a sense of relief at surviving a catastrophe.
The president... was not rejected again.
Chen You ignored the complex inner thoughts of the elven girl behind him.
With a casual wave of his hand, a giant snow rabbit mount appeared out of thin air.
Chen You plopped down on the soft rabbit fur and immediately activated the auto-pathfinding feature for the mission.
Destination: Echo Valley.
With a leap, the snow rabbit transformed into a streak of white lightning and sped away from the city, leaving a bewildered Yueying standing there, covered in dust.
She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and summoned her mount to follow at a distance.
……
Chen You sat steadily on the bumpy rabbit's back, as steady as an old dog.
A light blue chat box popped up automatically in front of him.
The sender was the name that ranked second on the leaderboard—Moon Arrow.
The first message was very short, only five words.
[Moon Arrow: You are very different.]
Chen You almost burst out laughing when he saw this line of text.
Goodness, isn't this the standard domineering CEO's opening line?
Man, you've successfully caught my attention.
He suppressed the urge to complain and replied with a single sentence.
[Chen You: Your arrow was beautiful.]
A few words of mutual flattery, then waiting for the other party to get to the point.
……
Meanwhile, in the city of eternal night, a thousand miles away.
Beneath a towering ancient tree bathed in soft moonlight, a young girl in a plain white dress sat on a swing, her fair legs swaying gently in the air.
She looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with long, flowing hair, beautiful features, and skin as smooth and lustrous as jade in the moonlight.
No one could connect her with the second-ranked powerhouse who could pierce a thousand miles with a single arrow and intimidate Zhaocheng.
She is the Arrow of the Moon.
She was slightly taken aback when she saw Chen You's reply.
"Your arrow was beautiful..."
She uttered those six words softly, a gentle smile involuntarily curving her lips.
interesting.
Faced with his own arrow, which contained both warning and divine power, the man felt no fear, no anger, and not even the slightest emotional fluctuation.
There was only one understated word: "Beautiful."
This composure demonstrates his confidence more than any arrogant words.
Her slender fingers traced the message again, sending a second message, this time with an even stronger sense of probing.
[Moon Arrow: Someone like you is probably hard to find another in the Source Realm.]
The subtext is clear: Are you a lone wolf, or do you have a whole tribe behind you?
Outside Zhaocheng, snow rabbits galloped swiftly.
As Chen You looked at the message, Pan Yu's analysis and Director Li's instructions flashed through his mind.
— "Don't mention a single word of the core information; just answer with 'It's none of your business.'"
But then he thought about it again and realized that replying so directly would be too abrupt.
Then, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he typed out a mysterious incantation originating from the ancient Chinese internet.
[Chen You: There are six others as skilled as me.]
……
The City of Eternal Night.
For the first time, her arched eyebrows, as delicate as distant mountains, furrowed slightly.
Six more?
She naturally had no idea that this was a meme originating from another civilization.
Her first reaction was that the other party was revealing information about their "organization".
Chen You alone is enough to stir up trouble and forcibly change the rules of the game.
If there are such unfathomable beings, there are six more...
What a terrifying force that would be!
At this moment, Yue Zhiyi's regard for Chen You rose to a new level.
She touched the ground lightly with her toes, and the swing stopped.
The girl stood up from the swing, her original languid demeanor vanishing, replaced by the prudence and sharpness of someone in charge of a top guild.
She decided to stop going in circles.
[Moon Arrow: How to activate Destruction Mode?]
coming!
Chen You's spirits lifted when he saw the message.
The main show begins.
He didn't reply immediately, but deliberately paused for almost a minute.
This was taught by Li Guoan; it's about negotiation psychology.
Whoever gets anxious first loses momentum.
Just as Moon Arrow was about to ask again, Chen You's message finally arrived.
[Chen You: I can tell you, but you have to agree to one condition.]
[Moon Arrow: What are the conditions? Equipment? Gold coins? Or rare materials?]
Moon Arrow did not hesitate for a moment.
In her view, adventurers are simply exchanging these interests.
However, Chen You's reply once again exceeded her expectations.
[Chen You: When I need it, do me a favor unconditionally.]
Moon Arrow was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
That smile, like the first melting of ice and snow, carried a hint of amusement and a touch of surprise.
This surprised her even more than asking for a top-tier piece of equipment.
This means that what the other party is after has gone beyond what money and equipment can measure.
[Moon Arrow: You're so amazing, do you really need help?]
Chen You did not reply.
Moon Arrow remained silent for a moment before revealing its bottom line.
[Moon Arrow: Sure. As long as it doesn't harm the interests of the Elven gods.]
A promise from the second strongest player on the ranking list!
Its value is immeasurable!
[Moon Arrow: And, you can't tell anyone else but me.]
Li Guoan had anticipated this request.
[Chen You: Deal.]
The deal is done.
Moon Arrow immediately pressed for answers.
[Moon Arrow: So, how did you activate the [Wailing Valley] destruction mode?]
Chen You paused for a moment, then gave three words.
Chen You: I'll be quick.
After sending those three words, he decisively closed the chat window.
……
"Me... soon?"
In the City of Eternal Night, Moon Arrow stared at those words and fell into a long silence.
The air behind her seemed to freeze.
I'm fast?
What kind of outrageous and inhumane words are these!
quick?
Is it faster attack speed? Faster movement speed? Or...?
A few seconds later, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning.
Speed up your progress!
The condition for activating Destruction Mode is... speedrunning the game?!
This answer is outrageously simple, yet utterly unreasonable in its domineering nature!
【Wailing Valley】, a standard level 10 dungeon, usually takes at least half an hour for a team.
Even for their elite team of Luna's Radiance, it would take at least twenty minutes.
And Chen You...
He did it all by himself, in just six minutes!
So he wasn't showing off; he was just stating a fact!
"So...that's how it is..."
Moon Arrow murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented light.
She got it!
Knowing the conditions is one thing, but doing it "fast" is another!
And this is precisely the unique ability that Chen You showed her!
……
Chen You ignored everything else.
Because his mount had already stopped.
[System notification: You have arrived at the mission area—Echo Valley.]
He looked up, and the sight before him made him squint slightly.
Gone is the eerie and ghostly atmosphere of Howling Valley; this place is a desolate depression that resembles a battlefield.
Broken banners were planted on the parched land, and shattered armor and rusted weapons were everywhere.
The air was thick with a chilling, oppressive atmosphere, a mixture of rust and dust.
Deep within the battlefield, a massive mound of bones emanates an ominous, blood-red glow.
"Waaah—"
A mournful bugle call sounded.
In an instant, the ground began to shake.
Hands emerged from the ground, and then, one by one, skeleton soldiers clad in tattered armor and wielding decaying spears awoke from their slumber and stood up in dense formation.
Their eye sockets burned with a ghostly blue flame of their souls, their empty gazes fixed on Chen You, the only living being.
A quick glance reveals that the number is well over a hundred!
[The task has been updated.]
Phase 1: Clear out the undead soldiers and destroy the "White Bone Mound".
Looking at the sea of undead that was almost filling the entire battlefield, Chen You was not nervous at all; instead, he showed a hint of anticipation.
How dare a mere level 10 monster act so arrogantly!
"You've come at the perfect time."
He rolled off the rabbit and slowly drew the Ascension Sword.
"Thankfully... I've learned the second move."
He muttered to himself, his left hand forming a sword incantation, and the spiritual energy within his body began to circulate wildly at an unprecedented speed.
hum!
The Ascension Sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, and a sharp and chaotic sword intent soared into the sky!
The second move of the Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique – Chaotic Stars!
