Volume 5: The Elegant Tea Party (Remastered) Chapter Twenty-Six: The Third Advent
As the hour and minute hands continue to meet and separate, the day has finally come to this day.
On June 1, 2026, at 00:00 AM, the second update of the world of Ntagri begins.
The system announcement was made as early as 4 hours ago, so players know that this update will last for a full 24 hours. But only a small number of players know that it won't be long before the third Ring Advent is about to begin, including Yu Bin.
The night before the update, Yu Bin and the others stopped all activities, and everyone went out to collect the ring according to the location provided by Yu Bin. And Yu Bin himself took Shen Tianyi and flew to Harbin, a northern city in China. Then I changed to a taxi from Harbin, and after more than two hours of travel, I came to a small village called Lixing Village.
With a full set of equipment for camping in the wild, Yu Bin and Shen Tianyi, as outdoor enthusiasts, successfully found their destination under the leadership of local villagers, a small mountain col called Wudaogangzi by the locals.
"Brother, what are we doing here?" Since entering the world of Ntagre, the busy and fulfilling day has diluted her sadness, and now she can often see the heartfelt smile on Shen Tianyi's face, for this girl, although she has lost her adoptive parents who care for her, but Yu Bin's appearance quickly makes up for her need for family affection.
Maybe it's not all! Since he gave the ring to this girl, Yu Bin has keenly felt that Shen Tianyi's attitude towards him seems to have changed somewhat, becoming closer and closer.
"It's okay, I'll take you to see the meteors!" Yu Bin said as he hammered the last fixed nail into the ground.
"Hee-hee! Brother, you lied to me again! Shen Tianyi would not be fooled, and jumped up and down to help Yu Bin drag the sleeping bag into the tent.
Yu Bin was not angry, and after smiling, he began to take out the portable heating stove and other things in his backpack and prepare dinner. Shen Tianyi was playing on the side, and the two seemed to have returned to their childhood.
After dinner, Shen Tianyi was reluctantly urged by Yu Bin to do some post-dinner exercises, and threw herself on the sleeping bag like a little lazy pig.
"Don't sleep! Get up, and soon the meteor shower begins! Yu Bin stood outside the tent, smiling and trying to pull Shen Tianyi up.
"Don't! Brother, you must lie to me! You just lied to me to do sports, and now you lie to me to watch meteor showers! ”
"I really didn't lie to you!"
"I don't believe it! Unless ......"
"Unless what?"
"I won't get up until you promise me one thing!"
"Good! Promise you! Yu Bin was like coaxing a child who refused to eat, and while agreeing indifferently, he reached out and pulled Shen Tianyi up from his sleeping bag.
"In that case, brother, you owe me four things!" Like a fox who stole a chick, Shen Tianyi giggled.
The time finally came to 9 o'clock in the evening, and like the previous two arrivals, a huge face seemed to mock all beings in the quiet night sky again, and the light points that were much denser than the previous two times passed through the night sky and fell all over the world in just a few minutes.
Shen Tianyi looked at the light clusters scattered in this small col, and covered her mouth in surprise: "Brother, this is the ring you are talking about?" ”
"That's right!" Yu Bin nodded, "Use your ring to touch them and absorb them." ”
Yu Bin knew that tonight's harvest was estimated to be only in front of him. It won't be long before most of the rings that are easy to get will be controlled by state agencies, and the remaining rings located in the deep mountains and mountains are not worth Yu Bin's effort and time to find.
As for tonight, Yu Bin's purpose was to enhance the authority of Shen Tianyi's ring. The one on her hand is a diamond ring that Yu Bin specially obtained from the United Kingdom, which has theoretically reached the top level. But as Yu Bin's upper limit of his soul energy continued to increase, the more the function of the ring was opened to him, which made Yu Bin vaguely feel that there should be a higher level above the diamond ring.
This location was also specially chosen by Yu Bin, and among some of the special advent locations recorded in the previous life, this advent point located in Wudaogangzi came in the previous life, including a platinum ring and two gold rings, a total of seven rings.
However, unexpectedly, this time, Yu Bin found that in addition to the nine light clusters that were now scattered within a few tens of meters around them, there seemed to be a lot of light clusters scattered a little farther away.
Nearly two hours later, Shen Tianyi, who was sweating profusely, was carried back by Yu Bin and carefully lay on the sleeping bag.
The results of these two hours can be called rich, Yu Bin even walked around a radius of nearly a few thousand meters, but fortunately, it was night, there were no people here in Wudaogangzi, and the bright light emitted by the light cluster could be found far away.
Yu Bin and Shen Tianyi harvested a total of fourteen rings, including two platinum rings, most of which were absorbed by Shen Tianyi's ring, and the rest were stored by Yu Bin. As for Yu Bin's own, it had already reached the upper limit of absorption when it came last time.
After guarding Shen Tianyi until she fell asleep, Yu Bin asked Chen Tao about their harvest through his mobile phone.
Like last time, with Yu Bin's guidance, this time everyone has gained a lot.
Chen Tao went to an island in the Zhoushan Islands, and although the quality of the falling ring was not very high, there were a lot of them, allowing him to successfully upgrade his silver ring to a gold ring, and there was a lot of strengthening.
Yang Xu's luck was also good, he found a few high-end rings at an advent point near Chengdu, Sichuan, and successfully upgraded to platinum rings.
The only thing that was a little unlucky was the fat man, he ran to another place on a whim, only to find three rings, or the most rubbish brass ring, and when he ran back to the original place with regret, he found that it had been controlled by the local garrison troops, so he had to leave, so his ring was still a silver one.
But fortunately, there are still these rings preserved by Yu Bin, and it shouldn't be a problem to upgrade Lei Fatzi's ring to gold.
Although on the whole, in this advent, the harvest of several people is still good, Yu Bin still keenly found a clue from it. Compared with the previous life, this time, because of Yu Bin's promotion behind the scenes, the Huaxia government's exploration and research of the world of Entagri is obviously much deeper than in the previous life, and it can be seen from the rapid dispatch of the army and police from all over the country to collect rings on a large scale, and the Huaxia government has realized the importance of rings to players.
A high-level ring can easily create a player with good abilities, and with enough skill and a lot of support, this player can easily grow up and have the ability to explore more advanced and dangerous areas. Therefore, the high-level ring has always been the target of constant competition between players and various organizations in previous lives, and this time, this competition may come earlier and more fiercely.
This made the sense of urgency in Yu Bin's heart stronger and stronger, according to the timeline of the previous life, in another half a year, that is, on January 1, 2027, the last update of the world of Entagri will begin, this magical world will be open to all humans from now on, players no longer need to enter the game through the ring, as long as the strength of the brain waves is enough, you can connect yourself to that world anytime and anywhere.
While convenience has increased dramatically, so have the restrictions on players. Without the help of the ring, not only will the player not be able to enjoy the initial benefits, but also the ability to strengthen their body through the ring, at that point, the player's desire for the ring will reach a peak, and the relationship between people will be almost desperate in order to obtain a ring.
Half a year is not a long time, and Yu Bin must accomplish a lot of things during this time, so that he can get enough capital for the next social turmoil.
While Yu Bin took Shen Tianyi to collect the ring, the other members of the Devouring Snake were also adding chips to themselves in various ways.
Hanover, Germany!
Ever since regaining control of the White family with the help of the Serpent, Angri White has nominally become the leader of the ancient Junkers, and has moved her usual place of rest and office from Berlin.
Angeli, who was just over forty years old, was a very well-maintained woman, and she looked no different from a young girl in her twenties. At this time, the beautiful lady was reviewing several documents in her hand, and the butler was standing respectfully with a teapot full of black tea, and in addition, two men were standing respectfully in the distance.
"How's the acquisition of the ring going?" While flipping through the papers, the beautiful hostess asked nonchalantly.
"The acquisition of Eastern European countries has almost ended, up to now, a total of more than 4,300 rings have been acquired, in addition to Russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet Union countries, countries that belong to our scope, there should not be many rings left." The man named Gasus, dressed in a modest suit, replied.
"Good!" Angli nodded, with an indescribable charm, "Those former Soviet Union member countries should pay attention to sending people to keep an eye on them!" ”
"Yes, ma'am!" Gasus took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Huh? Lune, what do you want to say? Angri asked, glancing at another man in military uniform.
Lu En subconsciously wanted to stand up and salute, but immediately realized that this was not in the barracks, nor was it in his Seventh Spiritual Research Institute, so he had to slowly put down his half-raised hand, his expression was indescribably embarrassed.
"Don't be so inhibited, Count Lune, you're also a member of the German Junker nobility." Angeli put down the papers in her hand, took a sip of black tea, and said that her husband Bertor White also had the title of earl, so she was also known as Countess White.
Having said this, Lu still stood up straight respectfully, he knew that compared to the old Junker nobles like the White family, although his family was also the title of earl, in terms of strength, it could not even compare to a finger of the woman in front of him.
"Countess, although Russia is not within the scope of our acquisition, Ukraine and other former Soviet Union countries are our targets, so why give it up? According to my estimates, we can still buy at least a thousand or so rings from these countries. ”
"That's what you mean?" The Countess of Yot asked Gasius.
Gasius replied: "Since it is Madame's order, I should obey it, but I personally think it is a pity not to buy so many rings." ”
The Countess took a leisurely sip of tea and said with a smile: "Hehe, Gasus, speaking of which, you are also a direct descendant of the White family, and my husband once wanted to train you to become a talent, but unfortunately, in my opinion, Hoffman is indeed much better than you." ”
Gasius lowered his head, but a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes: "How dare Gasius compare with Young Master Hoffman, and ask Madame to solve my doubts." ”
The Countess of White looked at the direct descendant of the Yotte family in front of her with interest, she knew the man's thoughts very well, but she didn't want to dispose of this man because the other party had not yet put into practical action, that would cause a great shock to the entire Wright family, after the turmoil not long ago, Angli knew that now was not a good time to clean him up. And Gassius is also very smart, since she regained control of the family, there has been no obvious expression of the idea of competing for leadership.
"This acquisition is just a test between the various apostles of the Devouring Snake, the amount of acquisition, the speed of acquisition, in fact, nothing can be proved, but the acquisition itself can expose too many things. Although the White Rose family has given a lot of benefits, we can't bet all on that little guy. "Hoffman did a great job, neither explicitly nor with a clear inclination. Through this acquisition, we can easily distinguish who is a friend and who is an enemy! ”
"So what does Madame mean? The White Rose family is our enemy? Rune asked.
"Lune, don't take your horizons so small, a Germany is not enough to satisfy our Juncker ambitions, from centuries ago, the Crusades, the First World War, the Second World War, and even the final treatment of the Jews by that army corporal, in the final analysis, was just to fight for the dominance of Europe! This was true and is still the same, except that the enemy has changed from nomads who believe in Allah to Christians who also hold the cross. ”
"In that case, it is all the more necessary to bring Russia into the hands!" Rune said.
"Do we want to push a high-ranking apostle into the arms of the enemy for the sake of a Russia, or a thousand rings in the sky?" The Countess put down the black tea and said, "No, not only will I not touch those countries, but I am willing to pay more, Gasus, take out five hundred rings we bought, and send them to His Excellency the Sixth Pillar when the time is right!" ”
"Five hundred?" At this moment, not only Gasus, but also Rune and the butler standing next to him were taken aback.
The countess covered her tender red lips with her hand and smiled: "There is an old saying in Huaxia that makes sense, if you are reluctant to have children, you can't trap wolves!" ”
