"Giving out 648s?"
"Fine, let me help you with that."
Seeing someone dare to make such a boast in the chat, Silver Wolf gave a disdainful smirk. She opened a second screen and launched a rapid hack on the user.
In no time, she had uncovered the person's name, address, and even their history of online trolling. She bypassed their security and opened their bank account balance.
"Tch, only this much?"
With a flick of her finger, she divided the balance into over a hundred red envelopeseach equivalent to a 648 pack in the gameand dropped them into the livestream chat.
...
"Holy crap! She actually did it?"
"I got so scared I checked my window. The Ambrosial Arbor hasn't sprouted yet!"
"It's a bit urgent, but it's only a matter of time!"
"I respect you! You're a man of your word!"
"Didn't he say one for everyone? There were only a hundred or so envelopes. I didn't get one."
...
Jing Yuan looked up at the sky. The storm of battle was gradually subsiding. He turned to Kafka and said, "Alright, Stellaron Hunters. Yu Ling has proven your innocence."
"Take that fellow and leave this place."
Kafka also looked toward the sky, sighing. "Blade really had his fill of fun this time. In moments like this, even I find it hard to stop them."
At that moment, Jingliu moved. She turned into a streak of moonlight and leapt into the air. It was unclear if she was going to stop the fight between Dan Heng and Blade or join in...
Half a minute later, Dan Heng, Blade, Jingliu, Welt, and Luocha descended from the sky, landing in a line.
Welt said to Luocha, "This battle... is enough to prove you aren't the person I know."
"My apologies. Perhaps I was a bit too agitated."
Luocha, who had been impeccably dressed and elegant before, now had several wounds on his body and looked a bit disheveled. However, he remained graceful as he spoke. "It's quite alright. As long as it clears your doubts, sir."
"How about it, Blade? Are you satisfied?" Kafka asked.
Blade snapped his head up. "Not enough!"
"Not nearly enough!"
"Today, I will kill until this body can no longer stand!"
This time, Blade charged directly at Jingliu! The ancient sword was fully unsheathed and sharpened! Beyond Jingliu, Dan Heng and Jing Yuan were also drawn in. Blade's eyes were blood-red, and a dark, chaotic aura surged from his body.
Kafka frowned slightly. She realized Blade had lost control! She stepped forward, preparing to use her Spirit Whisper!
However, Blade was seeing red! He attacked everyone indiscriminately, Kafka included. He wanted to take them all on at once!
"Everyone, help me restrain Blade."
Even without Kafka's request, Jingliu, Jing Yuan, and Dan Heng were already using their respective techniques. However, Blade's attacks were suicidal and savage; his momentum was so fierce that he actually suppressed the three of them for a moment!
Seeing this, Welt and Luocha prepared to join in. They had no shortage of experts on this side!
Suddenly, at that very moment!
In the distant night, the massive tree root began to swell and sprout at a visible speed! From their perspective, it looked like a shifting silhouette painting. The roots burst from the earth, bringing rolling clouds and mist. The ground beneath their feet trembled slightly.
A thick aura of Abundance washed over them. Blade looked like a sleepwalker who had been doused with a bucket of cold water. He snapped his head toward the Ambrosial Arbor!
"Ambrosial Arbor..."
"Plagues Author..."
The chaotic aura around him slowly receded. "Kill those who obstruct us first. We'll settle the rest of the score later."
Watching the tall Ambrosial Arbor spread its branches and leaves, a flash of killing intent crossed Jingliu's eyes. "Fine."
Jing Yuan thought to himself, Phantylia of the Lord Ravagers... you've come at just the right time.
Thanks to you for diverting their attention.
Otherwise, this Shackling Prison might have been destroyed today.
Not only did you expose the location of the Stellaron, but you also accelerated the growth of the Ambrosial Arbor, bringing the lingering disaster of Abundance to light earlier than expected...
Phantylia, having you here is truly the Xianzhou's blessing!
...
In Little Gui's livestream.
Guinaifen stretched comfortably! She sighed happily, "Three Doomsday Beast challenges completed! The Trace Materials for my Jing Yuan should be enough now!"
Sushang, meanwhile, was scrolling through her Jade Abacus. The sound of a news broadcast drifted out.
"...According to our reporter, a disaster caused by the Antimatter Legion has suddenly broken out on the Starskiff highway at Shackling East Road!"
"According to an anonymous Miss Sparkle at the scene: 'There are so many Voidrangers! They're as dense as a bug infestation! But those guys from the Astral Express have some skills! They cleaned them up in no time.'"
"As confirmed by the Divination Commission and backed by Jade Abacus recordingsthe Astral Express crew did indeed intervene to stop the expansion of this calamity!"
"The Realm-Keeping Commission has been deployed to maintain order and begin reconstruction immediately, ensuring the highway remains clear!"
"Let us thank the Astral Express for their righteous assistance!"
"This is reporter Yu Wenbo, keeping you updated on the latest developments."
Guinaifen laughed upon hearing the news. "Ha! The Antimatter Legion? I was just fighting the Doomsday Beast; what a coincidence!"
"Now, let's get back to the main story and see what the Luofu's delves look like after the sprout of the Ambrosial Arbor."
The moment she finished speaking, a massive "rumble" thundered from outside the window!
Sushang immediately threw her phone aside! She grabbed her Xuanyuan Sword and stood guard nervously in front of Guinaifen! She was terrified that some enemylike a Voidranger from the Antimatter Legionwould suddenly burst into the room!
Guinaifen cracked the window open slightly. When she saw the scene outside, she went numb.
"Holy... It's actually starting to sprout!!??"
...
"Little Gui is incredible! This is the prelude to becoming an AeonWords Become Law!"
"Case closed! This whole disaster happened because Little Gui was playing the game!"
"Host, it's not too late to turn yourself in."
"This is freaking spectacular!"
"We Star Rail players are still far ahead!"
...
Guinaifen and Sushang both chugged a huge jug of water before they finally calmed down. The Luofu was getting creepy! They didn't dare speak recklessly anymore!
Their current mission was to head to the Alchemy Commission delve, which bordered the [Ambrosial Arbor]. To get there, they had to pass through the [Artisanship Commission].
As they entered the new map, they saw a massive furnace tightly entwined by the roots of the Ambrosial Arbor, hoisted high into the air. An old master named Master Gongshu had run over to try and save the so-called [furnace].
The protagonist group's mission now was to bring him out safely!
Staring at the giant furnace, Guinaifen said curiously, "I wonder what's inside that thing?"
"Sushang, do you know?"
Sushang shook her head. "I was only recently transferred to the Luofu; I'm not sure either."
"Oh."
"It's probably just a furnace for refining medicine or forging weapons. It's not like demons and ghosts are going to come crawling out of it."
"Hehe..."
Guinaifen licked her lips slightly. She changed her party setup to Jing Yuan, Tingyun, Asta, and Natasha. She charged into the Artisanship Commission, which was now strangled by the tree roots.
"This place looks like it's crawling with monsters!"
"Jing Yuan, the General with a hundred percent win rate!"
"Applying for combat!"
