It was beyond Li Weizheng’s expectations.
Feng Huimin was surprisingly polite this time.
“Since Major Li wants to target the Holy Wolf Club, and our goals as the Thorn Guild are the same, then let’s act together at six this evening!”
“This doesn’t count as cooperation. Think of it as friends going out together to do something bad!”
Do something bad?
Li Weizheng had never done anything bad in his life!
“So, what’s your plan?”
“Go to the future map—the Holy Wolf Group’s headquarters—and strip the place bare!”
Hearing this, Li Weizheng felt his blood surge.
“Good. I’ll definitely be there!”
…
Six o’clock that evening.
In-game: Thorn City.
After more than ten hours of preparation, Thorn City had expanded to an area twenty kilometers by twenty kilometers, and its walls were complete.
The areas outside Thorn City had also changed because of the undead army’s assault.
The southern region had become a beginner area, where monsters ranging from red-eyed rabbits to tigers spawned.
Goblins had appeared to the west and begun harassing the Thorn Guild’s city walls.
The undead army had appeared to the east.
Not to mention that after clearing the Origin-level dungeon, they had gained access to even more dungeons.
[Foiling the Beast God Temple’s Conspiracy (Level 10 Dungeon)], submitted by Eighteen Stabs.
[Counterattack the Goblin City (Level 20 Dungeon)]
[Destroy the Lich Tower (Level 30 Dungeon)]
Although the three undead dungeons in Linjiang City were gone, Destroy the Lich Tower was still high-level enough, and it was more suitable for the players in Thorn Town.
In other words, a single city was enough to let players level from 1 to 30.
Once the siege battle ended, even the players who had previously been low-level had reached their twenties.
After becoming a city, Thorn City could accommodate 100,000 beginners in one go.
While Chu Fu and the others had gone to Guguan Town, a full 100,000 beginners had already logged into Thorn City.
While Chu Fu fought monsters, Feng Huimin and the others handled the affairs within Thorn City.
At present, Thorn City had a full 350,000 players.
It was even livelier than Linjiang City.
There were quests everywhere.
The beginner players had even helped transport lumber and earth, personally building teleportation arrays at the city walls in all four directions.
This saved a tremendous amount of travel time. They could step outside and immediately start fighting monsters.
Feng Huimin had also given the players beginner benefits.
[Beginners ride the teleportation arrays for free!]
The new players instantly developed a sense of belonging.
They had built the teleportation arrays themselves, and now they could use them without paying?
If they weren’t people of Thorn City, then who was?
The beginners had benefits, and the veteran players had benefits too.
[Limited Purchase: Resurrection Potion!]
Original price: 10 gold coins. Current price: 1 gold coin.
Limit: one bottle.
It wasn’t as cheap as finding a priest to revive them.
But it was convenient!
What if there were times when no priests were around?
[Limited Purchase: Three Universal Skills]
Warriors could now learn priest and archer skills as well.
Aside from that, any feature available in Linjiang City was also available in Thorn City.
For example, there was a Master-level Class Advancement Hall, as well as the Temporal Palace in the future map.
“Is everyone here? Prepare to depart!” Chu Fu said.
“J-just the few of us?” Li Weizheng asked timidly.
Including him, there were only seven people in Chu Fu’s party.
Chu Fu, Xie Lin, Shen Chi, Shafu Liangu, Holy Healing Angel, and Eighteen Stabs.
“We originally planned to act together with everyone else, but then we decided that would be a waste of manpower. We don’t need that many people to deal with the Holy Wolf Club.”
Li Weizheng still trusted Chu Fu.
Chu Fu had simply joined the game late.
She had spent all this time wandering around the beginner village.
It was time for her to leave the beginner village and show these people what the wider world looked like!
No—that wasn’t right.
It was time to let everyone, the entire world, see what she was capable of.
The true powerhouse of our country had arrived!
She would definitely make a greater impression than Lu Xing.
But apparently, Lu Xing was one of Chu Fu’s relatives.
Was gaming talent hereditary in their family?
As for the authorities, they had already abandoned their policy of trying to recruit Lu Xing.
After all, there were simply too many matters to deal with. How could one person fighting alone compare with a collective effort?
Li Weizheng was even more optimistic about Chu Fu. He believed that sooner or later, she would surpass Lu Xing.
Just as he was thinking this, Chu Fu entered the future map in team mode.
[System Notice: You have entered Thorn City (Mirror Future Map, Levels 30–40).
This map is a mirrored world. Everything will be adjusted according to the conditions of the original map.
You may exit this map at any time. There is no need to return to a teleportation array; simply use the exit button.
From 12:00 to 18:00 in real-world time, this map will be unavailable for updates. It will periodically synchronize with the real world.]
Their vision went dark, then brightened again.
[You have entered Thorn City.]
The surroundings were brightly lit. It appeared to be early morning, with the sun just rising. Chu Fu and the others stood on a teleportation array.
“Isn’t the level 30 map supposed to be the Underground Shelter?”
They had never entered the level 30 future map before.
This was Chu Fu’s first time here as well, and she looked around curiously.
Li Weizheng, on the other hand, stood there with his jaw hanging open.
“W-what? This is way too tall!”
“What is?”
“The city walls! Didn’t you see them? These walls have to be two hundred meters high!”
Li Weizheng quickly explained, “Haven’t you been to Linjiang City’s level 30 map? On that map, Linjiang City’s walls are about fifty meters high. Even at that height, Titans stretch their necks over the walls every day to look inside. Every player who enters is like food being raised by a Titan. If one gets caught and swallowed, they die.”
“Fortunately, Titans have powerful digestive systems. After swallowing someone, they excrete them two hours later. Healers have to find the pile of feces before they can revive the player.”
“Ew…”
Everyone looked disgusted.
But they also learned something about the level 30–40 maps.
A new type of monster appeared on the level 30 future map.
Titans.
Juvenile Titans were level 31 and stood thirty meters tall.
Adult Titans were level 35 and stood fifty meters tall.
Titan Giants were level 40 and stood seventy meters tall.
Every one of them was a super boss.
They were enormous and possessed tremendous destructive power.
Therefore, at level 30, teams could consist of fifty players.
“It looks like the Thorn Guild is going to develop very well. Every time the level 30 future map updates, it changes according to events that have occurred on the main map.
“A few days ago, someone anonymously submitted a data module that helped us analyze the changes in all the towns and beginner villages around Linjiang City. It’s been incredibly useful.
“We’ve already located many of the corresponding villages and begun protecting them in advance.”
When Chu Fu heard this, a figure immediately appeared in her mind.
The Anti-Magic Teacher.
The data module had been provided by the Anti-Magic Teacher.
The story had mentioned her before. After all, she was a heroine.
A supporting character had to be raised to the altar first. Only then would killing her bring in enough tears.
Chu Fu actually disliked this sort of thing. She hoped that not a single person would be lost.
Otherwise, what meaning would her transmigration have?
Li Weizheng continued, “However, aside from the bosses’ drops, everything else in the future map is fake. The shelters are the same. Even if one is destroyed today, it will reappear after the map updates at two o’clock the next afternoon.
“That’s why the players from the Holy Wolf Club often slaughter the other shelters without restraint.”
They had their own base too, called Morgan City. It was exactly six o’clock now, so they must have just logged on and appeared inside Morgan City!”
Li Weizheng’s eyes lit up.
He could hardly wait to go uphold justice!
