Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent - Chapter 126

Chapter 126: The Angel Takes on a Disciple, Archmage Flow of Time

Sini looked alarmed and asked anxiously, “John, is Tracy really in their hands?”

John didn’t respond, but it seemed likely.

Tracy had disappeared into thin air. If it wasn’t the Azure Family’s doing, then the most probable culprit was the Mike White Family.

John picked up the white stone, curiously inspecting it.

“Spatial power!” he exclaimed in surprise. This was definitely not a product of the real world; it came from the world of Gods.

However, the world of Gods had not yet merged with Earth, so items shouldn’t be able to return to the real world.

How had the Mike White Family managed it?

It seemed they possessed secrets unknown to him.

“Boss, you’re not seriously considering descending into the world of Gods, are you?” Ritchie asked worriedly.

Descending into the world of Gods was not the same as logging into the game pot; death there could very well mean real death.

Toby had left him a “ticket,” which was obviously not given with good intentions.

Sini immediately added, “John, you can’t take that risk.”

“Yeah, brother-in-law, let me descend into the world of Gods and see what kind of scheme Toby is up to,” Armstrong suggested.

John, however, directly put away the spatial stone and said, “No one is entering; I have my own plan.”

Tracy was in Toby’s hands but wouldn’t be in immediate danger.

Moreover, since she had descended into the world of Gods, she would surely find a way to contact them. He decided to first assess the situation.

At that moment, Ritchie’s phone rang. He stepped aside, said a few brief words, and furrowed his brows.

“Boss, there’s new intel from the world of Gods,” he said, hanging up and looking at John with a grave expression. “Several city forces have been established. I suspect they belong to the Mike White Family.”

John nodded, not overly surprised.

He had already secured the rewards from the first three cities. Subsequent city establishments no longer offered Secret Area rewards, so there was no need to prevent the Mike White Family from expanding.

John gazed at the empty building, feeling a twinge of helplessness.

Fortunately, this operation wasn’t entirely fruitless; at least they had learned about the Mike White Family’s Noah’s Ark plan.

He turned to Ritchie and instructed, “The Mike White Family surely has spies in the real world. Keep an eye on them, and if you find any, eliminate them.”

“Got it, boss,” Ritchie replied, then glanced at Monkey.

Monkey nodded and immediately left.

“Let’s head back,” John said, and the group boarded a private jet under the cover of night, returning to the Dragon Nation.

The plane landed around noon the next day.

This round trip had cost them a day.

John moved to the military base, tidied up briefly, and Sini walked in.

“Master, how is your Fox Demon Curse?” Sini asked shyly, her eyes filled with a hint of suggestion as she looked at John.

John couldn’t help but swallow as he looked at her adorable expression. His heart raced with desire, and he immediately pulled Sini into his arms. Just as he was about to make a move, there was a knock on the door.

“Brother-in-law, I’ve received a message from Tracy. She’s online in the world of Gods and has something important to discuss with you,” Armstrong’s voice came from outside the door.

John was about to lose his temper, but upon hearing it was news about Tracy, he replied, “Got it. I’ll enter the world of Gods right away.”

Sini also stood up and straightened her clothes, saying, “I’ll go with you.”

John gave her an apologetic kiss on the cheek and said, “I’ll make it up to you when I have time.”

“Understood. Hurry and enter the world of Gods,” Sini nodded, concerned about Tracy’s safety, urging him to log in quickly.

The two of them entered the game pot and connected to the world of Gods.

John appeared in Flame City. As soon as he logged in, his private chat lit up.

It was Tracy.

Star Dust: “Old man, it’s me, Tracy. I’m safe right now, but whatever you do, don’t descend into the world of Gods. It’s a trap set by the Mike White Family.”

Seeing her message, John felt a weight lift off his shoulders, and he quickly replied.

Godslayer: “Where are you? I’ll figure out a way to rescue you.”

Star Dust: “No need, old man. I’m safe here. It seems like I’m in the City of Angels, and a six-winged angel has taken me as a disciple. No one dares to touch me.”

City of Angels? A six-winged angel?

John was astonished.

The City of Angels was the territory of the angelic race, and it wasn’t open to outsiders. Without a map, players couldn’t even find a way in.

And a six-winged angel—one of the ninth-tier beings, an existence just below the gods.

John hadn’t expected that a six-winged angel would take Tracy as a disciple. She must have some hidden talent.

With a powerful angel protecting her, he no longer needed to worry about her safety.

The private chat lit up again.

Star Dust: “Old man, you mustn’t descend into the world of Gods. The Mike White Family wants to prematurely open the connection between the world of Gods and Earth. The so-called connection is actually a seventh-tier Secret Area that requires Earth players to descend and clear it to open the passage. The Mike White Family can’t do it themselves for now, so they want to use you to open it.”

So that’s how it is.

John sighed in relief. No one could possibly raise their power to the seventh tier in such a short time, not even him.

Earth’s crisis wouldn’t come anytime soon.

In his previous life, many players had reached the ninth tier before the world of Gods connected to Earth.

It seemed that someone must have descended into the world of Gods back then and cleared this seventh-tier Secret Area. But who could it have been?

John speculated that the Mike White Family was heavily involved in this matter.

He decided not to dwell on it any further.

Godslayer: “Tracy, I can’t enter the City of Angels right now, so be careful. If you’re in danger, let me know immediately, and I’ll figure out a way to save you.”

Star Dust: “Don’t worry, old man. I’ll also find a way to escape from here and meet you as soon as possible.”

Godslayer: “Good.”

John closed the private chat and remembered the promise he had made to the Resurrection Undead Lord.

“Hey, are you there?” he called out to the Undead Lord in his mind.

“What do you want?” came the impatient voice of the Undead Lord in his head.

John was instantly irritated. “Damn it, I was thinking of helping you with your resurrection, but it looks like you’re better off staying inside me.”

“Wait!” The Undead Lord suddenly panicked, his tone changing completely. “I wasn’t fully awake just now and was talking nonsense. Did I offend you? I apologize.”

John was speechless. “Are all you old guys this shameless?”

“That’s… nonsense. I’m a man of my word. If you help resurrect me, I’ll pledge my allegiance to you. I swear on the honor of the undead race,” the Undead Lord promised earnestly.

John, growing impatient, asked, “Alright, how do I help you resurrect?”

Undead Lord: “I still have a body, but it’s in a fifth-tier Secret Area. If you find my avatar, my soul can detach from your body. However, I’ve lost my immortality, so I’ll need the power of the Tree of Life to resurrect.”

John nodded. This wasn’t particularly difficult for him.

The only challenge was leveling up to 200 and completing five career advancements.

He was currently at level 179, just 21 levels shy of reaching 200.

However, the experience required for each level was staggering; leveling up to 180 alone would require 83.32 million experience points.

It would take at least a week to gain enough experience.

At that moment, Ritchie found John and spoke up, “Boss! Someone wants your help to establish a city.”

“Oh? Who?” John’s eyes lit up. Defending a city from the monster tide was a quick way to level up.

Ritchie explained, “It’s a friend of mine from the real world. Her ID is Flow of Time.”

“Flow of Time?” John exclaimed. In the previous life, this woman was a legendary figure, also known by another title: Archmage!

She had made significant contributions in defending Earth from the invading beast army and Dark Humans.

Unfortunately, she was eventually caught in a trap set by the Dark Humans and was killed in an ambush.

“Boss, do you know her?” Ritchie looked at John, puzzled.

John shook his head, “Just heard of her.”

Ritchie continued, “Should we agree? She’s offering a fifth-tier hero Secret Area as payment, but there’s a condition—she wants to enter the Secret Area herself and needs a fifth-tier mage set.”

The rewards from a fifth-tier hero Secret Area are far more than just a set of equipment, so the request was reasonable.

John thought for a moment and then said, “No problem. But I have a condition too—the spoils from defending against the monster tide are ours.”

Ritchie chuckled and replied, “That’s exactly what I was thinking. I’ll let her know.”

He sent a private message to Flow of Time, and she readily agreed.

Ritchie closed the chat and said, “Boss, she’s agreed. The city will be built in Dragonblood Highlands, and we can set the timing. The sooner, the better.”

The recent establishment of several city forces by the Mike White Family had clearly spurred Flow of Time into action.

“Dragonblood Highlands? This woman doesn’t lack ambition,” John murmured.

Though Dragonblood Highlands wasn’t as perilous and mysterious as Dark Forest or Eternal Forest, the beasts there were still formidable. The weakest among them were fourth-tier elemental Dragon Monsters at level 100 and above, and the most powerful elemental wyverns were as high as the seventh tier.

John was more than capable of handling it.

This opportunity aligned perfectly with his need to level up, and the monster tide in Dragonblood Highlands was an ideal challenge.

After thinking it over, he said, “Tell her to get ready. We’ll establish the city in two hours.”

“Got it.” Ritchie relayed the message.

Dragonblood Highlands wasn’t far from Flame City, and at Avis’s flying speed, they could reach it within two hours.

For this operation, John decided not to involve the Flame Legion or Blues Family.

The earth dragons of Dragonblood Highlands were too powerful for them to handle.

And this mission was primarily for John to level up.

“John, I want to go too,” Sini said as she arrived in Flame City and quickly learned about their plan.

John didn’t refuse. The three of them boarded Avis and headed for Dragonblood Highlands.

“Boss, can you help me get a powerful mount?” Ritchie asked enviously, eyeing the dragon they were riding.

As an Earth Knight, his combat strength would greatly increase with the right mount.

However, his current strength was limited, and the beasts he had tamed were only around the third tier, which wasn’t much help.

John thought of something and said, “What do you think of the blood-red demon wolf?”

Ritchie’s eyes lit up, and he nodded enthusiastically, but then hesitated. “Boss, that’s a seventh-tier epic beast. How could it possibly become my mount?”

John replied calmly, “Don’t worry, leave it to me. If that guy refuses, I’ll break his legs!”

“That… might be a bit much…” Ritchie was a little hesitant, but deep down, he was full of anticipation.

Meanwhile, Sini was already starting to feel sorry for the blood-red demon wolf.
