Volume 4: The Swan Song (Remastered) Chapter 4: Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared
The parchment that Andrew handed to Yu Bin was marked with a map, and from the map, Yu Bin's destination was a secret place called the Casaman Forest located in the depths of the Whispering Forest.
The so-called secret realm is actually a secret space deliberately created by some powerful beings with special power or powerful magic in order to protect or cover something. Unlike the mount space, which is an independent space isolated from the world of Entagre, the secret realm is still essentially a part of the world of Entagre, but it is covered for some reason, and you don't know how to enter the secret realm, even if you stand at the door of the secret realm, you can't take a step forward.
The parchment also records the origin of this secret realm and the method of entering it. Apparently this was not a whim of Andrew, but the result of careful intelligence gathering.
The Whispering Forest is one of the three core territories of the Elves, and is known as the Three Holy Lands of the Elves along with the Yongge Forest and the Sacred Mountain of Hygar. Among them, the Yongge Forest was once the capital of the Elven Empire, and it is still the place where the Elven Queen resides, and the Hyjal Sacred Mountain is the location of the first world tree in the history of the Entagre world, Yugudorahhir, although for some reasons, this world tree was destroyed in the middle of the First Era, but the Hyjal Sacred Mountain is still one of the most important sacred places for the elves, and part of the remains of the World Tree are still lying there today, quietly watching the world.
Compared to these two places, the Whispering Forest is a little more mundane. This forest, which is half the size of the Armnas Empire, is the main settlement of elves, and for tens of thousands of years, countless elves have been born, grown, and died here! It is also known as the cradle of the elves. Many of the plants that grow in the Whispering Forest are able to resonate with the elves, emitting a special kind of soul fluctuation, sometimes so strong that it can vibrate the surrounding air, resulting in a whispering effect. The elves thought it was the plants of the Whispering Forest talking in a whisper, so they called the dense and vast forest the Whispering Forest.
Yu Bin can imagine what kind of sensation he will cause once he appears in the Whispering Forest and is discovered by those long-eared people. The Whispering Forest is not only the cradle of the elves, but also the main resting place for the elves after death, and I don't know how many long-eared corpses are buried in the land of the Whispering Forest. Yu Bin's appearance will undoubtedly make the elves worry about whether the corpses of those compatriots will be awakened by the terrible necromancy and become evil undead creatures.
When the time comes, thousands of elves will be driven by anger and will be torn to pieces in Bin! As soon as he thought of this possible outcome, Yu Bin felt a headache!
As for the Casamane Forest that Yu Bin was looking for, the parchment only marked a few areas where this secret realm might exist, and did not determine a clear location, but the method of entering the secret realm was clearly written. The only way to open the passage into the secret realm is to use a large amount of blood and soul impact to protect the barrier of the secret realm, and the soul full of resentment and anger will actively hit the barrier under the attraction of the secret realm, and finally destroy it, and the secret realm will be exposed to the world.
As for what to do after entering the secret realm, the parchment did not explain it, but asked Yu Bin to read it again after entering the secret realm, and it was obvious that Andrew used special means to sit on the parchment in order to ensure that this task was not deliberately leaked out by Yu Bin.
"Well, what should I do now?" Yu Bin sat on the chair in the lord's hall dejectedly, looking up at the territory core held by the bone claws, the surface of the smooth and round territory core exuded gray energy fluctuations, constantly spreading the power of death to the entire territory, under the influence of this force, every moment more soil turned into a death land suitable for the survival of the undead, and the scope of the territory continued to expand until it reached the limit of energy diffusion.
It is not difficult for Bin to sneak into the Whispering Forest, the race he chose in his previous life was the Winged People, and he had a natural good relationship with the elves, so he has been to the Whispering Forest many times, although he can't be said to be clear about this vast forest, but it is still no problem not to be discovered by those rangers and rangers.
The key is how to open the secret realm! Even if Yu Bin found the Casamane Forest according to the map on the parchment, if he wanted to destroy the barrier wrapped in the secret realm, he would need a lot of blood and souls, although the parchment did not say the specific amount, but according to the consistent urine nature of this secret realm, I am afraid that hundreds or thousands of people will not even be able to press the doorbell, let alone break into the door!
"Find thousands of substitutes in the Whispering Forest, and let them be killed by me! Hehe, the Arabian Nights are more reliable than this! Before figuring out how to solve this problem, Yu Bin decided to postpone his departure, although it would take at least half a month to go to the Whispering Forest, but as the so-called sharpening the knife does not mistake the woodcutter, Yu Bin didn't want to rush over, but found that this was not prepared, that did not expect, and ultimately led to the failure of the mission!
In addition to thinking about how to open the door to the secret realm, Yu Bin also re-examined himself.
I still remember that when I went to the Hillsbrad Hills only because the barren land was no longer suitable for my own leveling, I went to that ghost place, but I didn't expect that after encountering the past with the wind, so many things happened by accident, and finally let Yu Bin come to this point involuntarily, not only carrying the task of escorting Manas, but also related to Kel'thugad and big guys like Andrew. This can be said to prove the saying that if you don't die, you won't die! If he had squatted in the barren land to level up with peace of mind, he would have become a rich man by now with the help of trade with the Fireblade Clan.
But it's a pity, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed? You can meet ghosts when you walk a lot at night, not to mention that at this stage, he is the only one like him who runs around across half the world at every turn, who else can those big guys pit if they don't pit him?
However, the adventures again and again also brought rich rewards to Yu Bin, regardless of those loot and props, Yu Bin's level alone has been raised to the second order eighty-three levels, and it seems that he is about to hit the threshold of advancing again. It is precisely because of the continuous battle with those powerful enemies in the course of the adventure that Yu Bin can grow so quickly, unlike other ordinary players, who nest near their initial cities one by one, find those weak chickens to practice, and occasionally fight with other players because of jealousy, grabbing interests, and fighting with other players, no wonder the strength improves so slowly. Even the captain of the special forces brigade like the bayonet could not escape the trap, and he was complacent about his little achievement.
If there is no Andrew's appearance, Yu Bin's original plan is to find a way to complete the third advanced challenge during the period when Alan is training those rookies, once he enters the third order, it means that Yu Bin can already talk to some aborigines on an equal footing, this is like soldiers of various races, soldiers from 0 to 2 are cannon fodder, and they are not distressed if they lose, and the 3 to 5 orders belong to the main force, which is enough to attract attention, and the aborigines are willing to provide some help to soldiers of this strength, Tier 6 and Tier 7 soldiers are ace classes and will not be easily dispatched.
Third-order players will no longer be despised in front of the aborigines, and once the player enters the realm of the sixth order, it is already worth focusing on cultivating for the aborigines, as long as the talent is good enough and the luck is strong enough, it is even possible to break out of the seventh order and become a hero-level existence, thus becoming the ruling class.
It's a pity that Andrew's mission forced Yu Bin to give up this plan, and the strength of the second order and eighty-third level allowed Yu Bin to crush most players on the one hand, but on the other hand, he couldn't get any help from the aborigines. Therefore, if you want to complete this task, you can only rely on Bin's own ability!
After closing his eyes and pondering for nearly two hours, Yu Bin chose to go offline, dealt with his daily affairs, and after preparing dinner for Shen Tianyi, he called Li Shouyi with the meal.
"Boss Li, don't come unharmed!"
Li Shouyi on the other end of the phone obviously didn't expect Yu Bin to call him at this time, since the end of that auction, this is the first time Yu Bin has contacted Li Shouyi, and he has only had some exchanges in the game before.
In fact, the successful conclusion of the auction made those state institutions pay attention to Li Shouyi as a game merchant, but also made Li Shouyi panic, he did not know how to communicate with those who represented the government, after all, everything he involved Yu Bin and the mysterious organization behind him called the self-proclaimed Snake of Body, and most of such mysterious organizations were unwilling to expose their information, and for this reason, they were even likely to kill people.
Fortunately, Bin took advantage of the opportunity of Ailan and the past to go to the Valley of Thorns with the wind, dispelled his worries in time, and even left a letter to Li Shouyi, which clearly stated the scope of cooperation with those government departments and what kind of agreement should be made. While Li Shouyi was happy, he also realized that all this had never been out of the control of that mysterious organization, and even the current situation was deliberately guided by the other party.
This made Li Shouyi feel the horror and mystery of the body devouring snake again, and at the same time, he also began to take a little interest in this organization. As a businessman, Li Shouyi is keenly aware that in the process of cooperating with those government agencies, there will be a lot of interests involved, and even if only a small part of these interests are involved, it is enough for him to soar into the sky and truly become a successful businessman!
So at this moment, Yu Bin's cold voice on the phone was as beautiful as an angel's voice in Li Shouyi's eyes!
"Your Excellency Bingyu, it's great that you've finally contacted me! I was just about to ask you, I wonder if I passed the second test? ”
If Li Shouyi was still hostile and alienated from Bin, the mastermind behind the scenes, in the past, then now, this businessman can't wait to throw himself into the arms of this mysterious organization and serve it willingly. I have to say that interest is really the most powerful weapon, he can turn enemies into friends and friends into enemies in an instant!
"Your performance is excellent, not only your performance in Ratchet City, but also your communication with those government agencies is a good proof of your ability!"
Your Excellency Bingyu said that I am excellent! Oh, my God! Very excellent!
At this moment, Li Shouyi deeply felt an emotion called "satisfaction"!
"The agreements you made with those government agencies were a small experiment, but they were a good experiment. We are not arrogant enough to confront the whole world, and cooperation will be the mainstream between us and our governments. There may be a lot of back-and-forth along the way, but I think you should be able to handle these issues well, and you have to deal with them well. ”
"This, is this my third test?" Li Shouyi heard a little deep meaning from Yu Bin's words.
"You can think so. I also hope to see you present at the regular meetings of the organization in the near future! ”
"Yes, yes, thank you very much for your cultivation! I will definitely try my best! Certain! ”
This little foreign trade businessman replied excitedly and bowed vigorously, regardless of whether Yu Bin on the other end of the phone could see it.
"This collaboration with governments is a small attempt, and while important, it is not essential. Of course, it's not the right time to come out in the open right now, and you need to continue to act as an intermediary to make sure that the collaboration continues. There are some side benefits that arise from this, which you can use freely, and I think as a businessman, you should not let go of these opportunities! ”
If you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse eat well! Merchants, creatures, as long as they have enough interests and don't need Yu Bin to push, they themselves will rush forward with full horsepower!
Li Shouyi's eyes lit up with a dazzling light, and he couldn't believe that His Excellency Bingyu had completely delivered such a huge benefit to him, as if it was not worth mentioning at all. According to Li Shouyi's preliminary estimate, even if he only uses the relationship with other countries, it is enough for him to multiply his net worth of tens of millions by tens or hundreds of times!
"Thank you very much! Thank you very much! If you have any requirements, please feel free to let me know and I will do my best to meet them! ”
"Well, I do have one thing here! Although the agreement with those government agencies is limited to the training of personnel, I think there should be people who are willing to take this opportunity to further deepen cooperation. After half a month, I will stay in the Whispering Forest for a while, hoping that they will seize this opportunity. ”
Li Shouyi immediately realized how attractive this news would be to those institutions that had been trying to find the secret of the Devouring Snake from him: "Okay, I'll contact them immediately, I believe those guys won't let go of this good opportunity!" ”
