Chapter 926 - 763: Full Surveillance
Now, Chun nervously parades loudly through the streets of Saint George City.
After all, it’s a major city in the Empire’s core, where the citizens are dignified, and there are no dubious gangs appearing on the streets. However, the sound of a crow continues to echo in the Divine Domain.
Although Chun guessed what the crow was saying, he couldn’t help but use Spiritual Perception within the Divine Domain.
——System Alert: Your Grandmaster Level Spiritual Perception has interpreted the crow’s curses as coming from the citizens of Saint George City.
"See, that’s the Silver Demon who killed four hundred Dancing Girls in the New World..."
"How can such a bastard still shamelessly parade on the streets..."
...
Holy Shit!?
Chun’s head went blank in an instant! Although he was mentally prepared for rumors, how did forty turn into four hundred? I don’t even have that many Dancing Girls in the entire Divine Domain!
But he endured it, welcoming anything that benefits the recovery of the Divine Domain, the more shocking, the better.
Just then, Libnahi quietly said from the back of the cart, "There’s a slight spatial fluctuation above us."
Chun shuddered all over: "How many fluctuations?"
"Only one detected so far!"
Holy Shit, this is definitely the Eye of Omniscience from the Ten Lords! Even my Divine Craftsman Level Spatial Technique didn’t detect it, yet Libnahi spotted it keenly. That’s the difference of racial talent!
Chun whispered, "No wanted notice on the Magic Crystal Screen?"
"None!"
Alright, the Eye of Omniscience is basically an invisible drone. Last time, it flew all the way from Southern Canyon Village to the Northern Fortress, covering quite a distance. Moreover, compared to the vast lands and sparse villages of the New World, towns in the Old World are relatively closer together, making it entirely possible for the Ten Lords to remotely monitor from a neighboring city!
Remote monitoring indicates he doesn’t plan to kill directly, great!
And the Ten Lords reacting so quickly means my plan has already half-succeeded, successfully drawing their attention here.
Chun forced himself to stay calm: "Pretend we don’t know."
...
Ten Lords Chat Group.
Samuel, unable to stand the mockery and anger from everyone, eventually came out personally.
However, they stuck to the bottom line of never showing up, so they activated the Eye of Omniscience at the edge of Saint George City to monitor the city.
Then everyone instantly noticed something was wrong. The NPCs on the street were reacting to Chun’s promotional activities, stopping to watch as they passed by!
Sela was shocked: "This means he’s triggered an event, gaining reputation through this patrolling method! The higher his reputation, the thicker his gang’s Shield skill becomes! That’s why he’s confident in coming after Samuel’s bounty!"
Samuel sneered: "This is floating reputation. Only when he’s successful will it convert into true reputation. If he fails, he’ll turn into a clown. As long as I don’t show up and let him fail the bounty, the reputation he gains will reset to zero or even negative!"
Everyone was furious: "Samuel, you’re too timid and cowardly!"
Samuel replied irritably: "Should I go into the city and face all those NPC guards and counter-kill him? You need to think about his situation. He was caught and put in the Empire’s prison, meant to spend his life in solitary, yet because he got my bounty while the boss can’t revive, the opportunity fell on his head. He would take this mission regardless of his ability, and his only chance is to use the city’s NPC guards to kill me!"
Michael suddenly froze: "Is it because I can’t revive?"
Sela, however, was more sensitive: "Boss, could it be possible that the Emperor is dissatisfied with you? So, they considered this temporarily top-ranked guy to replace you?"
Everyone was in an uproar: "Impossible! There’s no way the Emperor would use a felon!"
Michael furrowed his brows: "To replace me? If we don’t underestimate the Emperor’s intelligence, this could actually be an option! After all, we deliberately entered the game setting up Sage identities to control the Emperor!"
Samuel laughed: "So, I absolutely cannot let him succeed in the bounty, or else the possibility of replacement increases!"
Michael nodded: "Maintain full monitoring!"
Samuel was anxious: "As long as I don’t show up, right? Do I really need to keep watching him?"
Michael asserted firmly: "Yes, it concerns the possibility of replacing me. Even a 0.00001% increase is unacceptable! At least until I revive!"
Samuel was exasperated: "I wanted to level up, might as well take action, finish him off sooner!"
Michael firmly opposed: "No way!"
Everyone sighed heavily.
Michael then inquired: "Is Uriel here yet?"
Butler: "Mr. Uriel is still asleep."
Michael impatiently said: "His module storyline loading time is almost done; wake him up and get him prepared early."
Butler: "Understood, Sir."
...
Chun strolled around the city for an hour, with the biggest outcome being the increasingly loud crow sounds.
If he continues strolling, there might be a boundary diminishing effect, meaning more time spent with less increase in curses, not worthwhile. That’s why Wukong would take a bite of a peach and then toss it away.
Then onto the next city, Saint Peter City next door, while also testing the tracking efficiency of the Ten Lords.
After arriving in the new city, Chun still cared about the four ladies: "Are you tired?"
Hathaway laughed: "Not at all, I feel like the whole city is watching me, so happy, just like a big star! Full of energy!"
The other three girls also laughed: "It’s an honor for us to enjoy star treatment alongside Hathaway, we’re not tired either!"
Chun remembered something: "Are there big stars in the Empire?"
Hathaway shook her head: "Though there are many artists and singers in the Empire, they don’t allow big stars. But they allow the cultivation of stars in the New World to see their impact."
The three ladies sighed as well: "But it is said that during the Ancient Empire a thousand years ago, there were still many stars."
Hathaway, however, asked: "I heard that Mr. Chun groped a big star’s butt in the New World?"
Ah!! The Empire knows about this too?
Chun readily admitted: "Yes, I groped it!"
The four ladies shrank back in shock, pulling out their iPhones and tapping away~~
Holy Shit, no matter what the situation, things always get twisted once they’re passed around!
Chun became anxious: "Let’s just start!"
About fifteen minutes later, Libnahi alerted again: "Spatial fluctuation detected again!"
Oh~~~
This is the reaction time of the Ten Lords! Okay, seeing how cautious they are, it’s clear they don’t plan on making a move in the city? In reality, they’re the ones being wanted; what are they in a hurry for? The urgency is in how I find them!
Once Chun figured it out, he relaxed, and the weariness from delivering all day hit him. It’s better to rest first.
Leave everything to Aileen, make arrangements for the next stop—let Aileen go to San Juan City and the surrounding area in a regular pattern.
Then he switched to his alternate account, which still had two hours until completion. Great, get some sleep until the alternate account is finished updating, then pull an all-nighter...
