Finding a Way

The next day

Before Old Wang could even cause them any trouble, Huineng had already found him.

"So you really are a monk!" Wang Qianduo said directly upon seeing Huineng.

"Yes, I am also a monk in real life," Huineng said.

"It's strange that a monk plays games! What brings you here?" Old Wang.

"I'm here to compensate you for your losses. Here's the 10 million Gold Crystal you requested. We hope you can forgive and forget about the Mount Hua Guild!" Huineng.

His attitude was so sincere that Wang Qianduo began to wonder if he had done something wrong, or if he had been too persistent.

However, he quickly dismissed that thought. If he weren't strong enough, how could they possibly apologize and offer compensation?

If he were nothing, he might face the loss of a car worth millions and having his Demon-Breaking Cone.

Who would pity him then?

Fortunately, he's strong enough!

After Wang Qianduo traded ten million Gold Crystal with Huineng and gave him a compensation receipt as proof, he added Huineng as a friend at Huineng's request.

After that, Huineng left, and Old Wang no longer needed to cause trouble for the Mount Hua Guild.

However, this incident served as a wake-up call for Old Wang. He had never heard of the Mount Hua Guild before, yet they were Leading Star of game progress.

This made him realize that this game was different from the previous ones; this game involved the whole world, and was no longer just a carnival for game enthusiasts.

In the past, these gaming Club might have dominated the game, but things are different now.

It's clear that forces like Mount Hua had prior knowledge of some information about the game, and they are definitely not the only ones with such information.

Old Wang also noticed that the military, a force that should be perfectly suited for this game, had no reputation whatsoever, which was clearly unreasonable.

However, none of this mattered to Old Wang. As long as these people didn't cause him trouble, he couldn't be bothered with them.

Old Wang, a lazy bum who has lived two lives, has only one unrealistic dream, but he will fight for it for the rest of his life.

After Huineng left, Old Wang reassembled the team to tackle the Instance Dungeon.

As everyone's equipment improved, the difficulty of the first few bosses decreased.

Because of his existence as a safety net, the Future Guild is almost certain to avoid a complete wipeout before the final boss, Bai Tianyu.

Of course, accidents are sometimes unavoidable, but their efficiency is still unmatched by other guilds.

However, they still couldn't break through Bai Tianyu's second stage. No matter what methods Old Wang tried, he couldn't withstand the attacks of his domain and Sound Wave.

Actually, it's not just them now; many other guilds have also reached Bai Tianyu, but they're still stuck in the first stage.

The names of those three bastards, Maka Baka, have already started to spread among the Player, and Old Wang and his team's lead is no longer that large.

"No, this boss is definitely not fought like this. These skills are not something you can just tank!" After another team wipe, Sister Hua said with certainty.

"But I didn't see anything useful on the map," Old Wang said.

He didn't waste the three seconds that gave him the Desperate Counterattack.

"If it's not a map, then it should be an off-site area. The Instance Dungeon should be paused so that guild Player can start exploring the Planet."

"This Planet isn't that big; there shouldn't be only one Instance Dungeon of it!" Sister Hua said.

Everyone nodded in agreement. This was the only path they could choose at the moment. If this path was also blocked, then they would have to... choose another one.

What else can we do? Giving up is definitely not an option, the gear from this Instance Dungeon is so amazing.

Without further ado, after disbanding the guild, everyone immediately began organizing the guild Player to explore the Dark Domain Planet 099, Black Shark Star.

Old Wang didn't get involved directly; instead, he went to the Homeworld Base and found General Huang.

If we're talking about who understands the concept of "domain" best on the entire Homeworld Base, then no one understands it better than this Legendary who possesses a domain.

"Black Shark possesses a domain? Not that I look down on him, but based on him alone?" General Huang said disdainfully after finishing Wang Qianduo's report.

"What are his skills?"

"This should be a False Domain type skill that imitates the domain, so it's not difficult to deal with."

However, you have to rely on yourselves. I won't get involved in this matter; you'll have to handle it yourselves!

After General Huang finished speaking, he ignored Old Wang.

Wang Qianduo: "???"

What did I do? Why is my favorability rating dropping so quickly?

After a bewildered Old Wang left General Huang's place, Old Huang gave him an apologetic look.

He really liked this junior colleague; if it were before, he would have definitely nurtured him with great effort, but not now.

If he were to participate in anything he faced with his meager strength, he would surely be utterly destroyed.

On the other side, after leaving General Huang with a bewildered look, Old Wang went to Fairy City once again.

He probably had some guesses as to why things were like this with Old Huang, but there was nothing he could do to help him.

At the same time, he did gain something from what he just learned; at least he learned that Bai Tianyu's domain was False Domain.

He wanted to see if the Dark Night faction had a way to deal with this False Domain, and at the same time, he thought that he might need to delve deeper into the favorability of a new NPC faction.

Zero couldn't find a single piece of information about the domain online; this should be the core data of various factions.

That's reality! You might find 99% of the knowledge about an industry online for free, but the 1% that other people actually possess is the core of everything.

It is precisely this 1% core that is the key to widening the gap.

~~~

Old Wang returned disappointed once again from his journey into the Dark Night. Yuan Wuji and the other two also only had a superficial understanding of the domain, and they were still far from reaching that level.

They were merely three heads of a branch of Dark Night, not even considered high-ranking members of Dark Night. How could they possibly know such core information?

However, Old Wang wasn't too disappointed, because he was already prepared: if he couldn't get something for free, he would have to pay for it.

All he needed was a way to deal with Black Shark's False Domain, not the true domain core. He should be able to obtain it by paying a certain price.

However, Dark Night can't help with this this time; they've been really badly suppressed lately.

This is great! Has he recently learned about another faction? The Molten Gold Shop should be pretty professional, right?

Old Wang came to the Molten Gold Shop again. He found the waiter and said he wanted to post a quest and hoped to see their manager.

After the waiter noticed the difference in Old Wang's expression, he led him to the second floor of the shop.

While Old Wang was gathering information through various channels, the Future Guild's exploration of Black Shark Star was in full swing.

They didn't try to hide anything; after all, a guild operation of this scale couldn't be kept secret even if you wanted to.

However, Future Guild is definitely the most watched guild in the entire game right now, and their move has prompted other factions to follow suit.

They didn't know what the union would look for in the Future, but they figured they could do the right thing by following along.

Black Shark Star is actually just a Planet, smaller than the moon. So many people explored it thoroughly that they quickly made discoveries.

On the far side of Black Shark Star, people discovered a crater that seems to extend all the way to the Earth's core; this is the only unique feature of the entire Black Shark Star.

All the guilds that sent members to explore, including those from the Future Guild, perished inside.

After they were resurrected, everyone asked them what had happened, but they couldn't say anything.

Because they didn't know how they died; after they went in, they only felt everything go black and they found themselves at the Respawn Point.

The system notification when they are killed will only say, "You were ambushed and killed by an enemy lurking in the shadows."

So the group tried to use the most powerful Searchlight to probe the bottom, but unfortunately the lights couldn't reach far enough.

The pitch-black opening resembled a gigantic maw ready to devour everything, filling one with dread.

"Could what we need be down here? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Instance Dungeon at all!" Old Ma said to his wife.

"The biggest key point is that there's no connection. This cave appeared so abruptly, how could it possibly have nothing to do with the Instance Dungeon?" Sister Hua said.
