CHAPTER 27 (2/2)

Xie Xi declared, “It will never be like you.”

Zhong Jin didn’t speak.

Xie Xi stared at the boy in his arms and asked in a low voice, “Aren’t you afraid of me clearing this quasi-world?”

Zhong Jin could continue to upgrade the level of this Fairytale Town as long as no one cleared the world. If someone cleared the instance, the Zone wouldn’t release any more tasks and the players wouldn’t be able to enter. Naturally, the rating could no longer be increased.

Before Xie Xi, Zhong Jin brought in newcomers who knew nothing. Even if they were fortunate enough to gain the core task, they couldn’t gain the core side task. If they did, there were Zhong Jin and the others waiting to kill them.

This cycle created a higher ranked world built with blood and madness!

Zhong Jin replied, “There is no way. If I don’t help you, won’t you call X to kill me?”

“You really saw it.” The only reason why Zhong Jin would become so honest was if he saw X’s body. He knew he couldn’t kill Xie Xi and Song Qi and wanted to send them out of this world.”

“I didn’t dare look or else I would be dead.” He was joking, but how could he actually get close to X? Zhong Jin continued, “Of course, I am a person involved in the design and have special channels to feel such things.” He turned and stared at Xie Xi, asking, “Can you really clear this instance?”

Xie Xi stated, “I will definitely clear it.” It was only by clearing it that this town could be freed from the infinite loop!

“You are too kind.” Zhong Jin smiled. “Let’s go. I will take you to see Aaron.”

Xie Xi froze once he saw Aaron.

Zhong Jin showed a sincere smile that had never been seen before, as if he was seeing an old friend. He touched the figure perched on half of the mountain and said, “Get up, old dragon.”

“Aaron…” Song Qi was stunned. “He isn’t a player!”

Zhong Jin explained, “In order to protect that child, this fool willingly fell. This ridiculous world’s level was too low and Aaron had too much power. He was forced to change back to his original form.”

Xie Xi’s heart received a short shock.

At this moment, the unconscious Xiao Feng woke up, his golden eyes daze. Then he saw the golden dragon in front of him and burst into tears. “Dragon god!”

The dragon had the same golden eyes but couldn’t say anything.

The boy trotted over, one small hand holding the golden dragon’s paws and the other rubbing the delicate head. “I thought I would never see you again, dragon god.” He looked up at the dragon. “I know you have always been here!”

The dragon stared at him, not saying anything and his expression not even changing. He was a dragon, just a dragon.

Zhong Jin stared at this sight and the corners of his mouth straightened.

Xie Xi stared at him. “You want to upgrade the world, is it really for…”

“What else?” Zhong Jin laughed. “Of course it is for the reward of clearing the world. Unfortunately, it was taken away by you.”

Xie Xi’s brow furrowed.

Zhong Jin urged him, “Hurry and give the stone to this dragon.”

Xie Xi asked, “Will it harm the dragon?”

“How can he be hurt? He is willing.”

Xie Xi took out the white stone and placed it in front of the dragon.

The dragon’s eyes shook before smoothing out. The dragon claws carefully touched the top of the boy’s head before a ray of light burst out. Countless gold rays streamed from the dragon’s body and gathered together, rushing into the white stone.

The originally white stone turned gold, like the sun in the sky.

At the same time, a prompt appeared in the lower right corner of Xie Xi’s vision. [Congratulations, you have completed the main mission: collect the dragon heart.]

At the last moment, Xie Xi threw the golden stone.

Collecting it didn’t mean possession. No matter what the dragon’s heart stood for, it belonged here.

Xie Xi failed to see that the golden stone he threw became the sun that illuminated the whole tone.

[Congratulations, you have cleared the D-grade quasi-world, Fairytale Town.]

Xie Xi’s eyes fell on the words ‘quasi-world.’ For the first time, he felt that this wasn’t a game but a real world. It was a pity that he left and couldn’t know what happened to the town.

Xie Xi sighed and placed his hand in the water curtain to check the task rewards.

It was just a D-grade world and gave ordinary rewards: 10,000 silver coins and a white stone.

This stone was similar to the one fished out of the blood pool, but it was much smaller.

Xie Xi placed it in his backpack and saw the detailed description.

Name: Energy Storage Stone.

Purpose: Accumulate energy.

Description: Too weak. It is better to have an energy-filled stone. Please note that the energy must be willingly given by the other person, or it will be countered.

Xie Xi was startled. The so-called dragon’s heart meant collecting Aaron’s power?

How was this energy stone placed in the blood pool and what happened after the golden dragon’s power was collected?

He always felt there were many mysteries that hadn’t been solved.

Xie Xi looked at the communications list. Song Qi’s name was followed by the words ‘In the game.’

He completed the main core task and was sent back to the Central World, but Song Qi hadn’t collected the underwear. He couldn’t come back and was still in the Fairytale Town.

Clearing the game meant that the Zone would no longer release tasks for the Fairytale Town and no more players could enter. Players who previously accepted a task and entered the quasi-world needed to complete it before they could leave.

Once Song Qi came out, he should know more information.

Xie Xi calmed his mind and prepared to search for the next quasi-world.

He clicked on the Quasi-world column. The first line was still Love to the Left or Right. The second line had Fairytale Town, following by the quasi-world level and the fact that it had been cleared. The third line stated: Search for a new world.

Very good… he could get rid of that damn Atlantis!

Xie Xi sighed with relief and clicked the search button.

-New task, please give him a normal one!

The small funnel finished loading and a subpage popped up.

[Quasi-world: Lost Atlantis, the difficulty is unknown, designer X, not challenged.]

It was exactly the same words and punctuation!

Xie Xi, “…” He was haunted!
