Absolute Death Game-Chapter 520 - 16 Xuan Zhenzi’s Invitation_3

```

So sometimes, teams with smooth movements and good collaboration can clear two dungeons in a day with time to spare, and they'd still say they've wasted too much time on the road.

Moreover, Xiao Buli never skimped on equipment. As long as one fought bravely against the enemy and accrued enough DKP, everyone had a chance to get good equipment. Players continually updated and replaced their gear and skills. Now, the high-ranking members of the guild were adorned with gold and silver quality equipment. Even the newly joined players could mix in a set of blue gear, and the lucky ones might even get one or two pieces of gold or silver equipment. Such treatment was not much worse than the main members of other Great Guilds, and it was certainly much better than that of the common members.

In this way, the reputation of the Qingyang Empire spread among the players. When it came to the Qingyang Empire, two things were certain. First, everyone could raid dungeons. Second, as long as you obeyed, raiding dungeons wouldn't kill you. Such slogans were probably something no other organization would dare to declare, but Qingyang did. Therefore, players who had not found success in other guilds or nations began to shift their allegiance quietly.

An hour later...

Xiao Buli, surrounded by the high-ranking members of the Qingyang Empire, entered the City Lord's Hall of this city. Although it couldn't compare to larger cities like Nine Dragons City, the City Lord's Hall was nevertheless fully functional. After gaining city lord privileges, Xiao Buli raised the flag of the Qingyang Empire, and the city was successfully incorporated into the territory of the Qingyang Empire.

Although the Qingyang Empire had only been established for just over two months, it already owned seven or eight cities. However, Xiao Buli was still not satisfied with this pace. At the current rate of expansion, it would take about one or two years to conquer the entire continent, and that was assuming the Ancestral Dragon didn't cause any trouble.

The Ancestral Dragon's power was also expanding steadily. Recent investigations by Xiao Buli showed that the Ancestral Dragon had at least taken control of half of the continent's territory. Given their strength, this was not surprising, and their reputation was not as legendary among the players as Qingyang, the dark horse. They were known more for their mystery and dominance. However, Xiao Buli knew that in the end, he would have to fight the Ancestral Dragon, so what he needed most was strength.

Without taking measures, given the current pace of expansion, Qingyang Empire would soon come into contact with the territories controlled by the Ancestral Dragon. If they didn't quickly find a shortcut, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree when the time came.

However, Xiao Buli approached the map of the mainland and stared at the undulating mountains on it.

Battling for supremacy in the game world was something he and the Qingyang Guild members were very experienced in. Despite the current situation not being very optimistic, confidence filled Xiao Buli's heart. Because things were always full of variables, and he had always had a perfect and detailed plan in mind, now he just needed a catalyst, which was the biggest variable in the current situation.

While Xiao Buli was deep in thought, Du Yibo came clomping in from outside. His steps were hurried, but upon approaching Xiao Buli, he suddenly halted with a strange look on his face. After thinking it over, he spoke, "Boss, someone's looking for you."

"Oh, who is it?" As a leader of tens of thousands, it was common for Xiao Buli to be sought out. What he found odd was the strange expression on Du Yibo's face.

"You'll never guess who it is." Hearing Xiao Buli's question, Du Yibo's face showed absolute certainty, and it seemed his earlier strangeness was all due to the identity of this person.

If not for such a claim, Xiao Buli might not have thought of it. But seeing the assured expression on Du Yibo's face, Xiao Buli suddenly understood with a knowing smile, thinking to himself that the catalyst had finally arrived.

Seeing Xiao Buli smile without speaking and walk outside, Du Yibo felt puzzled and hurried after him.

"Long time no see," Xiao Buli said loudly as he stepped out of the hall and faced the graceful figure before him.

The woman turned around, a cold expression on her face with a reluctant smile forming.

"Indeed, I thought you would have died trapped in that base," she said.

Upon her mention of the base, Xiao Buli's smile immediately froze. "Right, speaking of that, I'm quite surprised that you dare to come see me."

The woman in front of him was none other than Qin Shimoon, who had previously tricked him into entering the base. She hadn't played this game before and had sworn to Xiao Buli that she would have nothing to do with it, yet today it seemed she had entered the game. Her in-game avatar was strikingly similar to her real self, unchanged from his memories from months ago.

Hearing Xiao Buli's stern response, an emoji of a laughing face appeared above Qin Shimoon's head, "Oh, please, you should know I had no choice back then, and since you've duped me once, I think we're even."

"You've become much more open than before; at least you know how to use a laughing emoji now," Xiao Buli said sarcastically. In reality, he had long since stopped caring about being trapped in the base, especially after Xuan Zhenzi had revealed the truth to him. Besides, with his current strength, leaving that base would be effortless. People usually don't concern themselves with matters that no longer affect them.

"What brings you here?" Xiao Buli actually had an inkling. Xuan Zhenzi had set Qin Shimoon as a pawn in the same way he had been used initially. The challenge he faced was probably not just the Heart Demon. It was likely that he was very interested in the truth behind General Huo and the Ancestral Dragon.
