Chapter 536: Chapter 526 General Yu

As the system notification rang, cheers erupted throughout the immense city!

“We did it!”

“Hahaha, we did it! We’ve finally breached the Heavenly Gate!”

“Long live!”

“Kunlun, is this the legendary Kunlun? The spiritual energy in the air is so dense!”

“First, we are the first in West Kunlun, which means we are once again ahead of everyone else. We will continue to lead all the way, number one in the world!”

“No, it should be number one in all realms!”

“Right!”

…

High atop the walls of the Imperial City, a woman clad in a grand red robe and wearing a purple crystal crown raised her hand high, and in an instant, the city quieted down.

The woman said, “My friends, thank you all for your efforts during this period. Heaven rewards the diligent, and we have finally become the first to breach the Heavenly Gate.

But let’s not slacken our efforts, the struggle among the myriad realms of All Heavens has just begun.

Inside the Kunlun Realm, it is not only the people from our world who can descend here.

More worlds will surely come here eventually, and if we do not wish to be destroyed, we must continue to work hard, cultivating day and night, fighting monsters to level up!

We are currently one step ahead, but what we need to do next is to stay ahead step by step!

No matter which world descends here, we need to make them understand that submitting to us is their only way out!”

“Long live the Red-Clothed Queen!”

“Long live the Red-Clothed Queen!”

The players all cheered loudly…

Li Hongyi watched the response of the crowd with satisfaction, and once again raised her white arm high, silencing the crowd again.

Li Hongyi smiled, “My friends, celebrate today, for tomorrow we shall embark on our journey once again! Drink, cheer, dance, today belongs to you!”

“Roar!”

The players all shouted in unison, then some surged into the bars, others flooded into the plaza, but Li Hongyi did not join the revelry. Instead, she gathered the core figures of the Cangshan Mountain World.

Li Hongyi entered the grand hall of the Imperial Palace and sat on the Dragon Chair that was originally meant for NPC emperors, then turned around to find over a dozen people already standing below.

Li Hongyi said, “Yin Kui!”

A man with a gaunt figure and a ghostly painted face stepped forward, “Your servant is here!”

Li Hongyi said, “Take your Ghostly Army and set off immediately. Within a week, I want to know all the information about all the wild monsters, NPCs, cities, villages, mines, mountains, and rivers within a hundred thousand Li.”

Yin Kui bowed, “Your servant, as commanded!”

“Empress, perhaps there’s no need to rush this.” An old man stepped forward and said.

Li Hongyi looked at the old man, “Oh? Prime Minister, what do you suggest?”

The old man said, “Empress, we are new here and still lack understanding of this place. Sending out too many people might make too big a commotion. I think it would be better to first send a few people to check the surroundings and then decide. There’s no hurry.”

Before Li Hongyi could respond, a very thin and exceedingly proud young man stood up, “Prime Minister, your words are mistaken! In your view, we are newcomers, but in my view, we are not completely ignorant about this place.”

“General Yu, how so?” Li Hongyi asked.

General Yu, exceedingly smug, glanced at Prime Minister Tang Yong and, with confidence, lifted his head and said, “Haven’t you all realized? This game follows a pattern.

From when we enter the game, we start at Newbie Village, then move through the great cities, and finally enter the Imperial City to attack the Heavenly Gate.

This process is simply a progression from easy to difficult.

Similarly, the wild monsters around the city are also arranged from easy to difficult, their levels ascending progressively.

Whether it be Newbie Village or a large city, Royal City, Main City, or Imperial City, it’s all the same.

This is the pattern!

Even though we have changed worlds, this pattern must still hold true.

There are definitely wild monsters around us, and their strength won’t be too formidable, just right for us to level up. As long as we don’t encounter any powerful bosses, aren’t the small monsters just easy to handle?”

Hearing this, everyone agreed, nodding their heads.

Many people close to General Yu shouted, “General Yu’s analysis is correct, it has always been this pattern.”

“The pattern has never changed, and there will be no changes here.”

General Yu continued, “I had already had some experts systematically analyze this game, and from the information we’ve got, this game is actually a large training ground for cultivating players.

So the system won’t kill us all at once, it gradually guides us to become stronger.

Our enemies shouldn’t be those Wild Monsters, they aren’t even worthy of being our enemies, they’re just our whetstones at most.

Our only enemies are other players.

In the Cangshan Mountain World, our enemies could be people from other countries, other guilds, other races of life…

But here, our enemies are players from other worlds.

So, we don’t need to worry about the Wild Monsters being too strong, since the system has already laid out a path for us to become stronger, we just need to follow it step by step.

So, go ahead and explore boldly!

Time is strength, it’s very important for us to quickly investigate the Leveling areas around, because we never know when players from another world might arrive.

We must race against time!

So, I think, Prime Minister Tang is still too cautious.”

Tang Yong shook his head, “I’m not being cautious, I’m being responsible. In a new world, there might be new rules.”

General Yu laughed, “Before entering this world, the system had already reminded us that the integration of this world is only about twenty percent, and here, we can resurrect indefinitely. There’s no penalty for dying, so what is there to be afraid of?”

Tang Yong frowned, “But still…”

“No buts, Prime Minister, you are afraid, I’m not! Empress, I’m willing to lead my men out of the city to explore the path!” General Yu directly volunteered for battle.

By his side, Yin Kui frowned, “General Yu, you can leave this task to our Ghostly Army.”

General Yu waved his hand grandly, “Just a stroll outside the city, no need for your Ghostly Army, my Yu Lin Army will do. I’m different from those old folks, old people think too much, I don’t have so many thoughts, I just want to go out and see. See what dangers lie at the city gates!”

Yin Kui sighed and said no more.

Tang Yong remained silent as well.

General Yu again addressed Li Hongyi, “Empress, I request to fight!”

Li Hongyi asked, “General Yu, are you sure you want to head out directly?”

General Yu replied, “Your Majesty, I have made up my mind, I will not back down.”

Li Hongyi nodded, “Well then, if you want to go, go then. I would also like to see the combat power of the Wild Monsters in this world…”

General Yu accepted the command and then left the great hall, heading straight for the outside of the Imperial Palace.

On the way, a subordinate caught up and said, “General, we still don’t know much about the outside situation, should we send a few brothers to check it out first?”

General Yu chuckled, “By the time you think of it, the stewed vegetables would have gone cold. Would I volunteer for battle if I didn’t know anything about the outside?”

The subordinate exclaimed, “General, so you have already scoped it out? How is that possible, we just arrived…”

General Yu laughed heartily, “That’s my cunning! The moment the city landed, I had already sent people out to check the situation.

According to my people’s investigation, this world… hehe…”

General Yu laughed.

The subordinate curiously looked at General Yu, pressing, “General Yu, what about this world?”

General Yu glanced at the group chat channel where scouts had sent back feedback, which was also quite simple to understand.

“General, the situation outside the city is clear now. Right in front of us is a group of rabbits, and behind our city is a territory of chickens, there are crocodiles in the river, further away there are wolf packs, Wild Boars, snakes, bears, and also giant turtles discovered along the riverbank.”

“General, this sounds like the setup of a Newbie Village.”

“General, we came out and found out, our level isn’t enough, we can’t determine their levels.”

…

Seeing all these messages, General Yu laughed heartily, “What about this world?

Nothing about this world!

This world is no different from ours, the location of our Imperial City is actually just a damn Newbie Village!”

Saying that, General Yu’s face turned somber as he looked back at the distant Imperial Palace and then waved his hand grandly, “Out of the city, Leveling!”

Indeed, General Yu did not want to immediately share the intelligence he had obtained, but rather wanted to take a step ahead in killing monsters to level up…

As for the reason, only he knew clearly in his heart.

The Yu Lin Army gathered quickly, a neatly organized, well-trained military force.

General Yu moved to the front of the army, declared solemnly, “Everyone listen, once we’re out of the city, you only need to do one thing! Bring all the Wild Monsters to low health then let me finish them, understand?”

“Understood!” Thirty thousand Yu Lin Army shouted in unison.

General Yu waved his hand, “March, the hunt officially begins!”
