Upon entering the game, Su Yu appeared in Broom City's central square.
Cat Morning Star immediately jumped out of his Pet Space and perched on his shoulder.
Broom City's central square was crowded with players. Large numbers of them had set up stalls here, selling equipment, materials, potions, and all sorts of strange odds and ends.
When they saw Su Yu appear, the players' eyes lit up, and they immediately greeted him:
"Boss Kexing!"
"Boss Kexing, you're playing again!"
"Boss Kexing, all players above Tier 6 are offline right now. Did something major happen?"
Su Yu had urgent business to attend to and had no time for much conversation with the players.
He nodded at them amiably, then quickly took the Plane Communication Badge from his inventory and infused it with a stream of magic power.
The badge soon responded. Through its feedback, Su Yu swiftly pinpointed Alijeh's location.
With a wave of one hand, Su Yu conjured a silver-white portal before him. Its destination was, naturally, where Alijeh was.
The next second, Alijeh hurried out through the portal.
"Your portal really is useful... Come on, let's go to Clear Wind Village."
"Okay."
Not far ahead of Su Yu and Alijeh stood the Broom City Teleportation Array. Without hesitation, they walked into it.
Two flashes of silver light flickered, and the two vanished into the Teleportation Array.
Watching Su Yu leave, the surrounding players began discussing it:
"Is Boss Kexing taking the Empress back to the Novice Village?"
"They look so anxious. Something big must have happened!"
"Should we head back to the Novice Village too and see what's going on?"
"Don't waste your time. Just sell your stuff properly! Besides, even if we went, we probably wouldn't get to see anything."
"That's right. We'd better not cause trouble
