Chapter 1219: Chapter 1186: Lin Yi’s Confidence
"Have you guys noticed something?"
"Lately, some weird ’NPCs’ keep appearing in the city, and they all ask some strange questions."
"Do you think the game officials are planning something new?"
"Hard to say!"
"But among these people, the most memorable one is that woman on the North Street of Cyan Dragon City, right?"
"It’s the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful woman in this world, she’s stunning."
"Who would disagree?"
"Too bad though, if I knew Feng Hua, maybe she’d come with me!"
"Oh please, with your Werewolf look, don’t scare the girl away."
At that moment, someone suddenly exclaimed:
"Look! Isn’t that Feng Hua?"
In the central square of Black Tortoise City, Lin Yi, who had just returned from the Nine Nether Continent, walked towards the central Teleportation Array, listening to the whispers around him, frowning.
He had only been to the Nine Nether Continent, perhaps not even for half a day.
But now Lin Yi felt as if he had been away for a long time, feeling out of touch with the other players around him.
He had no idea what they were talking about.
And almost everyone he passed was discussing this matter.
Especially that gorgeous woman they kept praising to the skies, Lin Yi was really curious.
What kind of woman could get so much praise?
Originally, Lin Yi intended to check the forums to understand the situation.
But he hadn’t even logged on before a series of urgent message alerts interrupted him:
"Beep beep beep beep~"
Maybe due to signal delay.
Many messages that Lin Yi should have received while in the Nine Nether Continent were now popping up one by one.
Among them were ones from Shengshi Drunkard and Handsomely Shabby, and Lin Yi also noticed a very unfamiliar avatar:
"Celebrity Dragon Soul?"
Lin Yi thought for a while before recalling the character.
This was during the early days of the game, during the [Treasure Battle] when Lin Yi was targeted by almost all players on the server.
He was the first to stand up in support of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi added him as a friend back then.
But since becoming friends, they’ve barely contacted each other.
Curious, Lin Yi opened the chat, and a series of messages popped up:
Celebrity Dragon Soul (Private Chat): "Is the God online?"
...: "I need to talk to you, God. When you get a chance, could you reply?"
...: "Are you in a dungeon, God? I can’t get through on voice chat."
...: "An incredible beauty is looking for you, God. Please reply when you see this message, I’m begging you."
Seeing the messages, Lin Yi looked bewildered:
"Someone’s looking for me?"
"And it’s an incredible beauty?"
Lin Yi laughed out loud:
"Could it be someone’s trying to set me up on a date?"
Just as Lin Yi was about to reply, asking what it was about, he suddenly felt a pat on his shoulder.
Exiting the chat interface, Lin Yi looked up to see Shengshi Drunkard smiling at him:
"Why didn’t you say anything about your return? I’ve sent you so many messages, and you didn’t reply."
Lin Yi paused, then remembered the messages from Shengshi Drunkard in his friend list. He quickly explained:
"I was just about to reply to you, and here you are."
Shengshi Drunkard didn’t care if Lin Yi was being truthful, he just burst into laughter:
"Perfect timing."
"There’s something I need to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi instinctively responded:
"What is it?"
Seeing Lin Yi’s puzzled expression, Shengshi Drunkard realized Lin Yi probably hadn’t read his messages yet.
But Shengshi Drunkard didn’t reveal that and explained again:
"After half a day of coordination and statistics, we’ve confirmed that over two million Lv50+ players will participate in tonight’s City Seizing War."
"This ensures that every Border City will be guarded, preventing counterattacks."
Saying this, Shengshi Drunkard paused, giving Lin Yi time to process.
Lin Yi thought briefly, then nodded:
"Sounds good!"
"That’s more than enough people."
Currently, Hua Country holds five Border Cities excluding Lin Yi’s four, all of which need guarding and defense.
Once Lin Yi conquers a Border City, it will enter a three-day ’Invincible’ state, so there’s no worry of it being seized back in that time.
This three-day period serves as a buffer time for the victors.
If things go as Shengshi Drunkard said, with two million Lv50+ elite players participating tonight, their main task will be to thwart desperate counterattacks from seized Battle Zone players.
It’s also to prevent opportunists from taking advantage, clearly to stop a surprise assault by the United States War Zone.
The Australian War Zone might also seize this opportunity to reclaim their Border City from the Hua Country War Zone.
It must be said.
In terms of coordination and planning, Shengshi Drunkard and his team are more professional and efficient than Lin Yi.
Lin Yi would’ve taken a day, if not more, compared to their half-day preparation.
However, Lin Yi quickly noticed Shengshi Drunkard’s hesitant expression, sensing:
"This isn’t the main reason you came to me today, is it?"
Since Shengshi Drunkard found Lin Yi quickly upon his return, he must have set up spies in the main cities.
Once Lin Yi appeared, it would be reported to Shengshi Drunkard immediately.
That’s the only explanation as to why Shengshi Drunkard found him so quickly.
Indeed, Shengshi Drunkard didn’t intend to hide anything and said truthfully:
"There’s something else I need to tell you."
Seeing Shengshi Drunkard’s suddenly serious expression, Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask:
"What is it?"
With a grave look, Shengshi Drunkard told Lin Yi:
"The plan for you to conquer four more cities has leaked."
"Now everyone in the various Battle Zones knows about it."
"Regardless, they will strengthen the Defense power of the Border Cities tonight."
"Are you still planning to seize the cities tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh:
"I never intended to keep it a secret."
"Whether they know or not, the result will be the same."
Seeing the confidence radiating from Lin Yi, Shengshi Drunkard couldn’t help but marvel:
"I can’t help but wonder where your confidence comes from."
Lin Yi chuckled:
"You’ll find out."
