I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1397 - 1398 Guiyin Mountain
Chapter 1397: Chapter 1398 Guiyin Mountain
"Yun, you should take care of your health," Zhao’er looked at you with concern.
"Mm, you too." You showed a gentle smile, then quickly stepped out of the room. When you found Tuan Tuan, he was discussing expansion plans with Haisha and other key figures. Upon your arrival, Tuan Tuan shared his plan with you. He intended to somehow cause a rift between Numa Planet’s slaves and slave masters, sparking a war. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
But you rejected this proposal: "Your plan is certainly feasible, but you haven’t considered other forces within the alliance. One thing everyone must understand is that the alliance is not monolithic; various forces have isolated strongholds. If we on Numa Planet start a rebellion, many forces might get involved, and we might not only fail to conquer Numa Planet but also be devoured by enemies."
You looked around and saw everyone nodding in agreement with your words, then continued, "However, we do have opportunities, just not the right time yet. The Three Great Star Systems Alliance will soon be at war, and then each major force will attack their long-standing enemies, which will be our best chance to step onto the historical stage!"
Raising a finger, you smiled and said, "One year, definitely not more than a year. The alliance’s military power is strong, but they can’t completely defeat Utopia and New Moon. At that time, the Three Great Star Systems Alliance will enter a prolonged war, providing those ambitious enough a chance to shine, devouring each other."
"Boss, we understand." Haisha nodded, and the respect in his eyes grew even stronger as he looked at you.
"This is our golden opportunity for development; we mustn’t miss any chances." You moved in front of Tuan Tuan, "I need someone to manage the finances in the game. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"I’ll go with Boss; I’ve arranged everything here, and a few assistants will suffice."
That’s the response you were waiting for from Tuan Tuan. From recent observations, you found Tuan Tuan to be quite skilled in financial management, with a keen eye and an assembly of talented subordinates.
You first entered the game, waiting for Tuan Tuan in Apricot Flower Village. Tuan Tuan’s appearance hadn’t changed in the game; he still looked round and chubby, accompanied by someone similar, a man giving off a crafty merchant vibe, aptly named "Crafty Merchant."
These two were at low levels, so to prevent easy assassinations in the future, you sent them to level up, assisting on the side. The plan was for Tuan Tuan and Crafty Merchant to kill monsters; after they land a strike, you’d immediately finish off the monsters, granting them the experience.
After more than an hour, Tuan Tuan and Crafty Merchant both reached Level 30. Entering the game wasn’t for play, but for managing Dragon Cliff’s future finances, so you didn’t invest much in them. You led Tuan Tuan and Crafty Merchant to meet with Feng Yujian and others. Tuan Tuan wore a sincere smile, appearing as a harmless, chubby good person, while Crafty Merchant’s smile carried a sinister tinge, matching his name.
After introducing them to everyone, you outlined the next steps clearly: "Our upcoming goals are two-fold: quickly strengthen Dragon Cliff and perform well in the martial arts tournament."
No one disputed your words, and everyone offered suggestions. You listened and selectively adopted them, especially Tuan Tuan’s organizational systems for departments and Feng Yujian’s proposal to form a powerful combat force.
You made the following statement: "During this period, all financial matters within the guild are managed by Tuan Tuan, with him overseeing appointments and decisions. Meanwhile, Feng Yujian and Smiling Knife are tasked with recruiting, and I’ll lead the brothers to level up."
You never procrastinate, as is your usual style.
Soon after speaking, you promptly put the next step into action, carefully choosing eleven people from the team, including the female archer saved from Eastern Cloud Dragon, named Qiu Jiayu with a poetic name. Together, you headed north of Zhulu City to Guiyin Mountain, shrouded all year in mist, with the mountain’s base swarming with ghosts.
Just upon arrival, a cold wind blew through, and suddenly a great number of ghosts appeared around.
"Something feels off," remarked a mage named "Forever Loving You."
"Hmm, seems these monsters were prepared, or perhaps their leader already anticipated our coming here," you glanced around, spotting a man cloaked in black among the ghosts.
Spirit Communications Mage: Level 95. A Spirit Communications Mage sells their soul to the Plague God, a renegade Mage skilled in necromancy magic, creating many ghosts and skeleton warriors for the Immortal Army.
The Spirit Communications Mage also watched you intently, muttering incantations, causing a slight looseness in the earth underfoot. You immediately shouted, "Jump away!"
At the crucial moment, you pulled away two nearby mages, only to find Qiu Jiayu’s feet bound by four white skeleton hands, her face turning ashen with poison, life value plummeting.
"Form a formation!"
Before coming out, you trained everyone, with the eleven averaging level forty. Not high, but monster killing and leveling shouldn’t be an issue under your strong attack support. As you shouted, you dashed towards Qiu Jiayu.
"Earth Splitting Slash!"
No finesse, a pure power strike, shattering the ground like cracked rice-fields on contact, and crushing the skeleton hands emerging from the earth. You didn’t rescue Qiu Jiayu but had a Taoist heal her while you rushed at the Spirit Communications Mage.
Previously, you might not have feared death magic; Ming Ye being a bane to all undead, naturally rendered necromancy magic ineffective against you.
But now it’s different; while attacking the Spirit Communications Mage, you must also guard against his necromancy magic.
Your attack speed does allow for quickly killing the Spirit Communications Mage, yet attacking him while overseeing the eleven subordinates complicates matters.
The samurai now protects the Taoist, mage, and archer within the group. Among the eleven, there’s one archer, three mages, two Taoists, and five samurais.
You brought only elites, defined not by their levels, but by their real-world strengths. Among them, only two remain unknown, whereas others revealed through interaction to hail from various parts of the Milky Way Alliance.
