Chen Lin did not hide anything in response to Xu Wuye's question.
He replied, "To determine your mirror image's location, aside from stumbling upon it through luck, you can go to the Outer Realm Battlefield. Once you've earned merit rewards, you can exchange them for information from a Nightmare Law Controller. But that method is no easy undertaking."
"So that's how it works."
Xu Wuye nodded in understanding.
Then her expression shifted, and she looked at Chen Lin.
"The Story Contest should be starting soon. Will you be participating, Brother Chen?"
"Of course. I'm the defending champion, after all."
Chen Lin smiled. "Are you hoping to reach the Outer Realm Battlefield through the Story Contest, Miss Xu?"
"No."
Xu Wuye immediately rejected the idea.
"Even setting aside my agreement with you, Brother Chen, I wouldn't have the ability to take first place. Besides, the Story Contest only happens once every hundred years. Winning a hundred consecutive times would take far too long. I can't afford to wait."
"True, it does take rather a long time."
Chen Lin agreed.
Then he said regretfully, "Unfortunately, something seems to have gone wrong with the Myriad Clans City Scenario, and it's no longer accessible. Otherwise, with your abilities, defending the arena there a hundred times to qualify as a war general would be much easier than the Story Contest."
"Becoming a war general won't do. It's too dangerous."
Xu Wuye immediately waved her hands.
She said solemnly, "I must remind you, Brother Chen: while war generals have the easiest time earning merit in the Nightmare Realm, they also have the highest mortality rate of any role. With our strength, if we faced those terrifying beings on the Outer Realm Battlefield, we'd truly have to rely on luck to come back in one piece."
