The Night Sun

Chapter 40: Soon



"I'm really hungry, Cherished Dream, take care of the rest. I'm going to eat."

Lady Lam stretched, then logged out of the game.

Cherished Dream could only chuckle helplessly and continued to manage the tasks at hand.

It was already near noon.

Lady Lam left the computer room.

A maid promptly brought her a towel and tea.

Lady Lam's "room" was actually a villa.

This was just one of her many residences.

She was temporarily staying here due to work in the city.

She sat on the living room sofa, sipping tea while waiting for lunch, and readthe news.

News outlets were all about First World, the Hidden Storyline, and the conflict between Fire&Ice Camp and the Moonlight Clan.

Lady Lam give out a faint smile as she skimmed through those reports.

She then searched for some movies to watch while eating.

Tonight was bound to be busy.

The reason it had to be tonight and not later was because this task needed to be executed as quickly as possible.

The Hidden Storyline had been unveiled, and the longer it was delayed, the easier it would be for another guild to complete it.

Especially based on No One's plan, it didn't seem overly difficult to her.

As long as you knew what to do.

Suddenly, a message popped up for Lady Lam.

【Luna Ren: Sister Lam Lam, I've completed the Job Change to Flying Blade.】

【Lady Lam: That's great, see you tonight, thank you ^^】

【Luna Ren: No problem sis, If you need my help then I'm always gladly to !】】

Given the current situation, the Moonlight Clan had only one opportunity.

If they failed, completing the Hidden Storyline first would no longer be guaranteed.

She immediately opened her phone and messaged the group chat.

【Lady Lam: Is everyone ready?】

【No One: My part is done.】

【Hana: I'm in the guild's territory, just waiting for the mission to start.】

【TwinBird: Currently in PVP, but will be on time.】

【Ye Yu: Studying now, will log in on time.】

【Cherished Dream: Tonight, we expect Fire&Ice Camp, Miraculous, and the remnants of Rice Village Boss to show up to disrupt us.】

【Lady Lam: Temporarily disable the member approval function, and for the next few days, absolutely do not allow any strangers. It's easy for intruders to come in and ruin things.】

Everyone understood what they need to do.

Aaa~

Today was Saturday.

A perfect day to laze around and watch movies.

...

...

At this moment, the Heavenly Demon In Black suddenly received a message from No One.

【No One: Tonight at 9 PM, City of Azure Flames square. Master, please come, there's a surprise for you.】

"What is that devil child plotting now?"

. . .

The headquarters of the Moonlight Clan.

Cherished Dream was overwhelmed, dealing with a mountain of tasks.

Ever since he spun the three unicorn heads, he'd been forced to handle all the clan's work.

Yes, the last ten spins also resulted in unicorn heads.

It was truly exhausting.

. . .

Hana was soaking in a bubble-filled bathtub, with a fragrant scent spreading throughout the room, as she continually checked her phone for news.

She had only joined the clan for a few days when it immediately plunged into war with another clan.

On her first day of joining, Lady Lam had mentioned that this might be the most intense clan in the game.

Perhaps she wasn't wrong...

"Hana, have you seen my MU jersey anywhere?"

Sword of Love barged right into the bathroom.

"I'm taking a bath!"

Hana, panicking, threw a small chair at his face.

"Ouch ouch!!!". . .

.

.

.

TwinBird chuckled as she was in the PVP arena.

"Not hiring power-leveling services anymore?"

"I never used that to begin with," a familiar voice responded.

"Alright, alright, no power-leveling then. Let's talk with our true skills."

TwinBird called an eagle to perch on her arm.

"Okay."

Six swords flew around.

Snow Step, controlling the swords, stepped down from the platform.

In the PVP arena, all stats are balanced.

. . .

6:40 PM.

The members of Fire&Ice Camp were filled with hatred.

Today, neither dungeon runs nor daily quests went smoothly. Countless people hunted them for money.

More than half of the guild members had lost golden equipment, many of which were rare items.

The Blood-stained List system had missions that required delivering equipment, which restricted them. The items could only be sent to NPCs to complete the tasks and couldn't be worn or used.

So, after killing, the assassins would bring the equipment back to submit to the NPCs.

Although the golden equipment was good, it couldn't be used, so it was best to hand it to the NPC to complete the mission and receive rewards.The Fire&Ice Camp was really struggling at the moment.

Two members in a team run lost their golden equipment, causing their damage output to plummet.

The entire guild was now filled with immense hatred toward the Moonlight Clan.

Many in the guild began monitoring the key members of the Moonlight Clan, planning to hunt them down the moment they left the safe zone.

The Blood-stained List wasn't even an option, nor could they hire outsiders.

They would have to handle it themselves.

Finally, they spotted No One leaving the City of Azure Flames.

A group followed No One.

They waited for him to move far enough away, preventing him from making a quick return to the safe zone.

They teleported to Mount Hua.

The group guessed that this fool intended to complete a daily quest there.

Mount Hua has a quest that involves mountain climbing.

No One stopped midway along the path.

"Come on out, how long do you plan to hide?"

The group from Fire&Ice Camp trailing No One was startled.

Had they been discovered?

"If you think this is a trap, you're right."

Immediately, Mount Hua was flooded with red-named characters.

"W-We're doomed! It's the Street Art Guild!!!!"

Cuong 7 7 and his minions had encircled the Fire&Ice Camp group.

It was now 7 PM.

The penalty for dying was a forced logout for 3 hours.The guild planned to execute their strategy at 9 AM.

No One deliberately waited until now to lure them out, intending to eliminate more of the Fire&Ice Camp and reduce obstacles.

"Alright! I'll leave the rest here to you, Cuong 7 77!"

Cuong 77 signaled OK and drew a massive broadsword.

"Bro, leave this to us! It's been a while since I've killed any top guild members—this is exciting !"

"Everyone! Go!!!"

Immediately, the Street Art Guild members charged forward, seemingly covering the sky.

The Fire&Ice Camp members were as good as dead!

.

.

.

Meanwhile, in the Tomb of The Immortal Blade dungeon, there was progress.

The 60% threshold of Phantom of The Immortal Blade in Demonic state had just been broken through!

The teams of Noodle Shop and Black & White reached this almost simultaneously.

Following them closely, the Eastern Joy Club also achieved it.

The two other guilds poured all their resources into the fighting Demonic state.

In the meantime, MaGold continued to command his guild members to split their efforts between the original state and Demonic state.

They also aimed to get a foot into the Hidden Storyline.

The intelligence network of Eastern Joy Club was slightly broader than that of the other two guilds.

MaGold had discovered who the woman in the story was.

Shadow Assassin and Blade Dancer joined the Society In Black but had yet to meet her.However, if the image were shown to the NPCs, surely someone would recognize that face.

When Blade Dancer and Shadow Assassin saw the face in Xiyu, NPC Rosa immediately knew who it was.

It's just that they wouldn't say it right away.

Many players from the Eastern Joy Club had to go to great lengths and raise their favorability to get her to reveal a little bit.

That person was the Heavenly Demon In Black, the leader of the Society In Black.

Those from afar who wish to meet her could only be partners or disciples.

After receiving this information, MaGold sold off some of the unnecessary small territories of the Eastern Joy Club.

Primarily to finance the Society In Black, seeking an opportunity to meet the Heavenly Demon In Black.

Now, he was sitting openly at the Society In Black's table, ready to face the Heavenly Demon In Black.

In real life, she was even more beautiful than in the storyline.

Anyone who saw that face, whether male or female, would indeed blush.

Even with a veil covering part of her face, it was unmistakably her.

MaGold struggled to control his emotions and bowed to the Heavenly Demon In Black.

First, he talked about the Eastern Joy Club's intention to sponsor the Society In Black.

To achieve great things, neither manpower nor finances could be lacking.

The Heavenly Demon In Black responded calmly, acknowledging that this cooperation with MaGold would be highly beneficial to her as well.

In the end, MaGold laid his cards on the table, asking her about her relationship with the Immortal Blade.

The Heavenly Demon In Black wasn't surprised.

Many people, even at that moment, were confused about this matter.She only smiled.

"We used to know each other, but not anymore."

That's it! MaGold rejoiced inwardly.

Content related to the main storyline.

"So, I wonder if the Heavenly Demon would be willing to open up to me? I have a jug of Immortal Wine here. We could sip and chat."

The Heavenly Demon In Black was a bit surprised.

Immortal Wine?

This outsider is indeed wealthy.

Sponsoring the Society In Black was one thing, but to casually pull out Immortal Wine as well.

A jug of Immortal Wine is incredibly complex to produce.

Locals could hardly obtain it.

Its ingredients only appeared in the previous Cycle. So now, acquiring it requires seeking materials through fragments.

The Heavenly Demon In Black smiled.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I am about to be busy, and drinking wine may not be appropriate. That jug of Immortal Wine is truly precious; it should be saved for a significant occasion."

MaGold was somewhat surprised.

Is there any NPC who would refuse Immortal Wine?

One can say this item is incredibly valuable.

"Is that so? What might you be busy with?"

"If the Eastern Joy Club can assist, we will certainly help."

The Heavenly Demon In Black smiled.

"Your thoughtfulness is appreciated. But it's just that a disciple has invited me elsewhere, so I have to leave."

MaGold widened his eyes.

Then he tried to stay calm. He bid farewell to the Heavenly Demon In Black and withdrew.

This is not good.

The Heavenly Demon In Black already has a disciple.

This means there's a player who has become a Disciple of the Heavenly Demon.

As soon as MaGold left the room, he urgently called his guild members.

"Quickly investigate who the Heavenly Demon In Black's disciple is!!!"
