The Night Sun

"What... are you doing?"

"Helping you cheer up. It's part of the plan to bring you to meet the Immortal Blade."

The Heavenly Demon In Black was utterly stunned.

Too bewildered.

She sighed.

"I appreciate your good intentions, but please don't do that again. Do you know how valuable the Eternal Flowers are?"

"360 Gold Ingots per flower."

The Heavenly Demon directly grabbed his shirt and slapped him several times.

"Brat."

The Heavenly Demon burst out laughing.

She was actually a bit pleased.

Though she often teased others, someone daring enough to pull such a stunt in front of her was something only No One had ever done.

"Alright." No One extended his hand.

"Huh?"

"The reward."

The Heavenly Demon's face immediately turned icy. She continued to slap him.

【You have received a favorability reward from the Heavenly Demon In Black.】

The way the game "justifies" NPCs giving rewards is through an organization called the "Foreigner's Association."

They contact the NPCs with favorability functions and send them gift boxes to distribute to players who meet certain requirements.

The game does a lot to "rationalize" itself as a distinct world.

Suddenly, No One was also curious.

"So, what exactly does the Eternal Flower Bouquet do?"

The Heavenly Demon chuckled.

She picked up a flower.

"The Eternal Flower has many uses; it's a flower only found from afar, so only those who come from distant lands can obtain it. Its effects are quite miraculous. It can be used to brew high-grade potions and enhance skill training. But for women, it can be made into various fragrances. Bathing in a tub full of Eternal Flowers can also greatly beautify the skin."

"Then, Master, quickly bathe in an Eternal Flower basin to be ready to meet the Immortal Blade!"

The Heavenly Demon flicked his forehead.

"Nonsense, I never agreed to that."

In truth, the Heavenly Demon's mood lightened considerably.

No One looked back at the pile of rewards he had just received.

The Avatar is something that appears in the player's chat interface. Usually, achieving high favorability with an NPC grants it.

The Heavenly Demon's avatar is actually very beautiful, but it's not the most remarkable thing.

The invitation for a job change didn't specify any particular class and couldn't be used.

He temporarily stored it in his inventory.

The appearance of the Heavenly Demon's weapon was somewhat noteworthy.

【Heavenly Demon Dual Swords】

【Appearance modeled after the weapon of the Heavenly Demon In Black. Its jet-black blades do not reflect light at all.】

【Heavenly Demon In Black Outfit - Male】

【An outfit modeled after the attire of the Heavenly Demon In Black. The fabric is incredibly smooth with shimmering silver threads on the black silk, resembling the night sky in the City of Azure Flames.】

He immediately equipped them.

The Heavenly Demon was startled.

So that's what's in the gift package?Well, it suits him.

No One had some thoughts about these two items. It seems they might be needed temporarily, so he equipped them as well.

The Heavenly Demon In Black outfit is indeed quite cool. Black outfits are always stylish.

Ye Yu recorded the entire process and only now approached to greet the two.

"Senior brother, what's the next step?"

"Prepare a few things, we'll execute the plan tomorrow night."

No One bowed his head to bid farewell to the Heavenly Demon, then left together with Ye Yu.

As they reached City of Azure Flames, everyone was fervently discussing the dungeon and the Phantom of The Immortal Blade.

While they traveled, many teams decided to tackle the dungeon in its original state.

However, many gave up afterwards because they couldn't figure out who the other person was as an NPC.

Without locating the Heavenly Demon In Black, there was no clue.

Understandably, no one besides the NPCs of the Society In Black and these two had seen the Heavenly Demon In Black.

The disciples of the Heavenly Demon In Black are still very few.

Normal-level NPCs in the Society In Black probably can't clearly see the Heavenly Demon's face either.

In the cutscene, the Heavenly Demon's face is shown clearly, but normally, the Heavenly Demon always wears a veil.

Suddenly, a group of people blocked Ye Yu and No One's path.

No One frowned.

He recognized a few people here.

They belonged to the Street Art Guild.

A guild with quite a notorious reputation.

Because the guild leader allows players to freely engage in PK (Player Killing).

Many members of this guild frequently go to beginner hunting areas to kill players just for fun.

Some often gather in groups to hunt the players they dislike.

They are also one of the guilds pioneer the dungeon this time, but their results haven't been good.

Most members in the guild build their characters for PK style, so fighting the dungeon isn't very efficient.

They're actually wearing Overlord's Gauntlets, used for PVP, to fight bosses, even though those gear stats aren't suitable for PVE at all.

No One ignored them.

"Please step aside."

The player in front had no intention of moving.

【Lv69 Cuong 7 7】

A red-named player.

The names of players who kill other players appear this way.

Most cities don't allow players like this to enter, but the City of Azure Flames still does.

There's just a suppression in place forbidding player health from dropping to 0 here, so PK isn't possible.

"Hello, friend, can we have a little chat?"

No One sighed.

"What do you all want?"

Cuong 7 7 laughed heartily. His face really was the typical gangster type: tanned skin, bald head, scarred face."We're also aiming to fight the Tomb of The Immortal Blade dungeon with the intention of defeating the Phantom of The Immortal Blade in its original state, so we want your help, brother."

No One looked at them.

Their gear was entirely set up for PVP.

"What if I say no?"

The other player fell silent.

His face, which had looked fierce from the start, now seemed even more intimidating in silence.

But No One wasn't too concerned.

"Then."

"I'm begging you! Okay?! We really want to clear the dungeon!"

Ye Yu and No One were taken aback.

Huh?

Aren’t you from that infamous killing guild?

"Brother, don’t look at us like that, everyone here is just a player. Our guild simply acknowledges that this is a game and doesn't take PK too seriously. Those who were causing problems for other players, like killing newbies, were kicked out long ago. It's all just a bad reputation. We also want some awesome gear!"

Cuong 7 7's pleading face couldn't look worse.

He's even... planning to do what? Puppy eyes?! Hey! Stop it!!!

No One cursed internally for not being blind.

Today is a great day to be blind.

"Alright, alright!"

"I'll prepare a guide to help you guys, but in return, you have to do something for me."

Cuong Bay Bay was overjoyed.

"Sure! What do you want me to do, brother? Just say it. We will absolutely do our best to help!"

No One discussed some things with them, then logged out of the game.

.

.

Midnight.

He left the house, strolling through the night streets.

At the moment, he couldn't go to the new dungeon because the Hidden Storyline didn't interest him much, and he wasn't too keen on staying in the game.

When there's no event in a game, it's usually just daily quests to complete, and he had already finished those.

He wandered to the food street.

The Hau Hau Noodle shop was open. No One walked past it, gave a nod in greeting, and moved on.

He didn't always eat noodles. Eating the same thing repeatedly would definitely become tiresome."Hey! No One!"

He looked over.

Pork Rice Restaurant Uncle Five's Addiction.

The leader of the Pork Rice Restaurant guild, Uncle Five, was also the owner of this place.

The restaurant was famous for its enormous pork rib servings, bigger than No One's face.

The broken rice was also very delicious.

"What's up, Uncle?"

At that moment, Uncle Năm smiled and called him over.

"You know our guild is running a dungeon, right? Can you show us how to do the Hidden Storyline?"

"I'm kind of stuck myself," No One chuckled.

Partly a lie.

No One had some theories about how to complete the Hidden Storyline, but nobody would reveal it to another guild.

The honor of being the first to complete the Hidden Storyline, who would want to give that away to others?

"Come on! Don't lie. I saw your guild members gathering and discussing something. If you've got any info, just share it with me!"

No One still refused.

Uncle Five could only sigh.

"Alright then. But be careful."

Uncle Five opened his phone.

"Not every enemy will stand right in front of you and declare themselves."

As he spoke, he handed the phone over to No One.On the screen was a chat from several guilds.

"This is the group chat for an alliance of a considerable number of guilds."

"Many have already started paying attention to the Moonlight Clan. Such glory in the First World is something everyone desires, even resorting to unscrupulous methods."

No One nodded, agreeing with Uncle Năm.

He had not considered what schemes other guilds might devise.

Beep beep

Suddenly, No One's phone rang.

It was Sword of Love.

A call to the entire group chat.

"Speak," No One answered.

"Everyone, skip tomorrow's daily quests."

"And I won't be able to join the dungeon tomorrow."

"What?"

"The other guilds have started causing trouble."

As he spoke, Sword of Love sent a picture.

Five dead player bodies, most with red names.

Surrounding them were still many with red names.

Hana was next to Sword of Love at the moment, feeling a bit scared.

Sword of Love had a habit of completing daily quests right after the system reset. That meant midnight.

He dragged Hana and TwinBird along.

As they were leaving the daily dungeon, a group of people appeared.

Sword of Love single-handedly killed five of them.

Sword of Love's name was now glowing red.

"These bastards are in for it now."
