Aurelia's Past Redemption!

This was a very handsome white man with long blond hair, a well-defined face, deep eyes, and high cheekbones. He held a short, Mental Power scepter that glowed with purple light in his hand, and his eyes were full of mockery.

The next second, lines of text appeared above the other person's head--

[Snow Eagle] (Psionicist, Tier 4)

Level: 44

Guild: Age of Discovery

Position: Alliance Leader

Regional Ranking: 3

Faction: Dark Tide

Sure enough, he was a player belonging to the Dark Tide organization, and Regional Ranking!

"Whoosh!"

Before I could speak, Snow Eagle flicked his staff, and a crack appeared in the air a meter in front of me. His Mental Power condensed into spiritual energy and struck me directly. Immediately afterward, a terrible feeling of sluggishness came from my limbs!

Mind Blast, a Tier 1 skill for Psionicist, deals 150% Psionic damage and inflicts a slight stun effect!

The next second, the scepter in Snow Eagle's hand instantly transformed into a Purple Submachine Gun, and it was a Submachine Gun equipped with a silencer. With a "poof poof poof" sound, it immediately began close-range firing!

"Grass!"

My eyes turned cold, and I quickly raised my hand to block in order to avoid being Headshot. At the same time, I burned 10 points of Essence Points, and instantly wisps of stardust light appeared around me. The defensive effect of the Stardust Wall caused the bullets to clang and clatter around the outer edge of the Stardust Wall. Although they kept shattering stardust fragments, they did not cause any damage!

Dragon Binding Rope!

The next moment, the opponent's figure was locked in, and the Dragon Binding Rope skill was unleashed!

From underground, strands of golden dragon vines rose rapidly, tightly binding Snow Eagle from the knees down.

"You bastard!"

He cursed in broken Chinese, then unleashed a burst of psionic energy with a flick of his fingers, instantly creating Psionic Chain beneath his feet, rendering him immobile for a short time.

"Whoosh!"

Instantly switch to the orange UZI, aim at the opponent's head and unleash a barrage of shots!

Snow Eagle was Dragon Binding Rope and could not move, but he could still use his skills. He raised his hand and unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, which turned into a Psionic Barrier!

In an instant, the dense barrage of UZI bullets was completely absorbed by the Psionic Barrier, as if they had vanished into thin air.

"What happened?!"

Just then, a player from the Crimson Firmament Alliance emerged from the black market. He was a sword-wielding super weapon user. Upon seeing me and the other player locked in combat, he immediately switched to Submachine Gun, ready to join the battle!

However, at that very moment, a silver light flashed in Snow Eagle's pupils, instantly taking control of the opponent's mind!

Mind Control, a second-tier skill for Psionicist, has a certain chance to temporarily control an enemy to fight for you for 1.5 seconds. The higher your Mental Power multiplier, the higher the success rate.

This sword-wielding super-powered warrior from the Crimson Firmament Alliance clearly has very low Mental Power, as he was actually controlled by such a skill with an extremely low success rate!

The next second, the Submachine Gun in his hand shot at me!

"Depend on..."

I cried out in despair and hurriedly raised the Lord's Shield to block the enemy's shot. At the same time, I used an Explosive Charge and lock onto Snow Eagle's position!

"Boom!"

Amidst the booming sound of the air, a golden light appeared on Snow Eagle's body, indicating that he had activated an Invincible Burst Skill!

The next moment, he erected a psionic shield, and at the same time, he waved his Mental Power scepter repeatedly. Instantly, a Psionic Burn skill was attached to my body, and a sharp tearing sound rang out in the air. With a "whoosh," a blade full of chaotic energy descended from the sky and slammed hard into my shoulder!

"Resistance!"

Psionic Blade, a Tier 4 skill for Psionicist, boasts a maximum damage critical hit rate of 800%, which should theoretically be quite painful. However, Stardust Wall is an SS-rank skill, and the shield's resilience is related to the user's attack power. As a result, this barrier is so thick that it completely misses the opponent's 800% damage multiplier skill!

"What?!"

Snow Eagle was shocked and hurriedly took out a dark blue object from his pocket.

Phase Teleportation Core!

I recognized it at a glance. Good grief, you think you can just run away when you can't win? Not so easy!

In an instant, with lightning-fast reflexes, the Wind Chaser switched to the Wind Chaser, and with the deep hum of the Power Sword's disintegration field, the sword light flashed past, delivering a direct, close-range Rising Dragon Slash!

"40872!"

I only intended to interrupt their teleportation process, but I didn't expect it to be instantly killed...

The Power Sword's damage is too high, and a max-level Rising Dragon Slash deals 400% damage. With my attack power, I can easily kill this fragile Psionicist.

"Sizzle~~~Bang~~~"

In the void, the outline of the opponent's Dimensional Storage Space slowly emerged, then shattered, exploding into a pile of treasures. Among them, purple light shimmered, making people's hearts itch with desire. The opponent's Submachine Gun and Mental Power scepter were both purple-grade equipment, and he also possessed a Phase Teleportation Core and Invincible Burst Skill ring. This was probably why he dared to accept this assassination mission.

However, someone who dares to infiltrate the Crimson Dragon Country and kill a Crimson Dragon Country -known player within its ranks must have some issues with their brain. Otherwise, who in their right mind would be so foolish?

There's not much to say, really. It's just prejudice and arrogance; Caucasian Player have always had an innate sense of superiority.

I quickly collected all the spoils from the area into my Dimensional Storage Space.

"Holy crap..."

At this moment, the level 41 sword-wielding super weapon user from the Crimson Firmament Alliance walked over, looking ashamed, and said, "Ding Han, I'm sorry... Damn it, I was controlled by this bastard just now, I didn't mean to shoot you."

"I know, I saw the combat notification."

I gave him a warm smile, "Brother, you didn't even hesitate to pull out your gun to help just now, I should be Xie Xie you..."

"No, no..."

He scratched his head awkwardly. "Not only did I not help, I actually made things worse. If it weren't for your strong survival skills, I probably would have made a terrible mistake just now."

As he spoke, he looked at the corpse on the ground. "Was this a player?"

"Yes, players from the Dark Tide faction."

I kicked the other player's corpse and said, "Let Alliance Leader Long send people over to clean up this mess. This place is no place to stay any longer. I'm leaving now. If Alliance Leader Long asks later, just say that this player accepted a mission from the Dark Tide faction to assassinate me, but ended up being killed instead. It's that simple."

"Okay, you go ahead, I'll take care of things here!"

After leaving the Player Black Market, I didn't go home. Instead, I went straight into a laptop store in the ancient city and spent 8,000 Star Coins to buy a high-performance Shenzhou laptop.

Then, he said to the shop assistant, "Brother, can I connect to your network? I need to take care of something here."

"Sure!"

The shop assistant unplugged his network cable and plugged it in for me, smiling, "Please use it."

Thanks!

I nodded, pulled up a chair, sat in the corner of the store, and took out a blue USB Drive from my storage space. It had been found in Snow Eagle's Dimensional Storage Space.

The next second, it showed that the USB Drive was encrypted.

This was no challenge for me, a level 10 programming expert. I cracked it in just two minutes. The moment I finished cracking it, the data on the USB Drive was shocking. It was a list of experiments related to the Dark Tide Pandora Solution, which recorded the names of a large number of test subjects who had been injected with the solution.

Among them are Chinese names, English names, and some languages that are not understood.

"Um?"

Suddenly, a rather familiar name flashed before my eyes.

Aurelia!

"No way?"

I clicked directly into her details, and the capture location appeared: Winter Spring Town!

It really is her!

In an instant, I sat in the chair, a slight tingling sensation running through my body, my memory rushing back to the first chapter... That Popeye the Sailor Moon girl was actually a really nice person; if she hadn't taken me in, I probably would have been eaten by some alien creature in the wilderness long ago...

Scrolling further down, the information was confirmed: the place where Aurelia was being held was called Lab 205, presumably one of the many laboratories of the Dark Tide, while the laboratory from which I and Left Hand escaped was called the Death Mine, though the exact number was unclear.

Quickly open the map and calibrate the location of Lab 205. The laboratory is located in the wilderness about 200 kilometers away from Creek City, a desolate area where only alien species and insect nests exist. Even wanderers are unwilling to go to such a place.

Should we go save her?

A voice echoed in my mind: there is still one Resurrection Sacred Canon, and it also has a Phase Teleportation Core, providing an additional means of survival and a margin for error.

Of course we should save them!

The very next second, the moment I made my decision, a pleasant ding-dong sound rang in my ears—

[You have triggered the Main Quest: [Aurelia - A Redemption of the Past!] (S-rank)! Quest objective: Venture alone to Lab 205 in the Dark Tide to find Aurelia. Regardless of your success or failure, you should do something to repay her for saving your life in the past. Upon completion of the quest, you will receive a very generous reward!]

It actually triggered an S-class Main Quest!

That's right. When I arrived in Star Abyss, the first person I met was Aurelia. She's been captured by the Dark Tide organization, which should have been part of my Main Quest!

However, the closest Phase Teleportation Array to Base 205 is the Teleportation Array southwest of Creek City, which is still at least 180 kilometers away from Lab 205. Hiking there is not very practical, and renting a vehicle would be too troublesome as it would require returning it. Moreover, the temporary market at the Teleportation Array only rents pickup trucks, which are not very useful in the complex terrain of the wilderness.

After glancing at the Star Coins in my Dimensional Storage Space, it seems it's time to buy myself a vehicle!

So, he packed up his computer, left the store, and headed straight for the Player Black Market.

"Old Ma!"

In the bustling crowd, I grabbed the horse-faced man.

"Hey, Ding Han, you're back!"

Old Ma laughed heartily, "Is BH City fun?"

I immediately recalled the moment I jumped into the Ice Lake to save Lu Xiaobei, and said dejectedly, "Not really fun..."

Haha~~~

Old Ma asked, "Is there something you'd like to add this time?"

"Old Ma, do you sell vehicles here?" I asked.

"Vehicle?"

Old Ma raised an eyebrow. "Motorcycles, jeeps, trucks—I have everything I can get my hands on. As for military transport planes, we don't have any yet, but judging from the Crimson Dragon Country's attitude towards us players, it's only a matter of time before the player organization's higher-ups get their hands on fighter jets."

"Alright, stop bragging. I want to buy an Off-road Motorcycle, the super durable kind. Don't try to fool me. If this Off-road Motorcycle doesn't perform well in the wilderness, I'll crawl back to settle the score with you!"

"Holy crap..."

Old Ma took a deep breath. "Stop talking, buddy, I'll take you straight to see the coolest Off-road Motorcycle in the base!"
