Undead Mage from a Cell

Early the next morning, Gu Xi woke up feeling dizzy.

At the moment, Gu Xi felt as if his life force had been drained away; even a Level 23 Fitness Skill couldn’t withstand such exhaustion.

He gently tapped his head, but Gu Xi couldn’t recall what happened last night.

He only remembered that he seemed to have had a few drinks with the City Lord Bai Lian, who also showed him a recently acquired piece of Orange Armor.

After that, he remembered nothing.

Looking down at himself, his clothes were still the same as before.

All his equipment was there.

Other than feeling weak, his body showed no other changes.

As long as he wasn’t injured, it was fine.

Gu Xi didn’t think too much about it and turned his thoughts to the two pieces of Orange Armor he saw from the City Lord Bai Lian.

While drinking, the city of Bai Lian had already acquired two pieces of Orange Armor from Octopus Head.

One piece landed in the hands of the City Lord Bai Lian, and the other was obtained by a Lucky One.

The piece of Orange Armor in the City Lord Bai Lian’s hands, which Gu Xi saw, was a small round shield with eyes.

That thing was clearly full of the style of Octopus Head.

Gu Xi had quite a number of such things and immediately recognized that something was amiss.

But before Gu Xi could say much, the City Lord Bai Lian had already put the small round shield away.

From his meaning, the small round shield was nominally owned by Bai Lian City, but the possession of this equipment would always stay in the hands of the City Lord and his descendants.

Even if he’s no longer the City Lord, no one can take away the ownership of the Orange Armor from his family.

Then he talked about the Lucky One who grabbed another piece of Orange Armor, which was a Centaur Battleaxe. Unlike the round shield, this piece of Orange Armor was clearly equippable by everyone.

The Lucky One had already washed away his initial Undead Mage profession and was preparing to transfer to Death Knight.

His future descendants will also become a large family of Death Knights in Bai Lian City.

The underlying message was to invite Gu Xi to stay in Bai Lian City, promising that his descendants would exist by similar standards in the future.

But Gu Xi was quite sensitive about the Orange Armor, particularly since he had over two pieces of it, especially the White Bone Obelisk, suppressed within the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp.

That was something that couldn’t see the light of day.

When the City Lord talked about the Orange Armor, Gu Xi directly shut his mouth. No matter how much the City Lord persuaded, he wouldn’t speak.

He just drank more and more.

However, the more he drank, the more muddled his consciousness became.

After that, he couldn’t remember anything.

This drinking really got in the way.

Pressing his forehead, Gu Xi eventually got up.

After stretching his body, Gu Xi was ready to leave.

Just as he was about to go, he suddenly noticed some things on the bedside table.

Gu Xi stepped forward to take a look and found some items resembling coins.

Picking them up, Gu Xi realized these were coins made of Refined Gold, considered the general equivalent agreed upon between cities.

With one of these coins, at the very least you could exchange for a super large mansion, and with fifteen, you could exchange for a guild’s location.

However, these coins were seldom used, and ordinary players had never seen them; even if they did, they had no place to use them.

Now these items being on the bedside table clearly signaled they were a small gift for Gu Xi.

Gu Xi picked up the coins and started counting them one by one.

One, two, three... fifteen... twenty-two...

For some reason, with each coin Gu Xi counted, his waist would unconsciously feel sore.

After counting them all, Gu Xi felt a bit puzzled.

What did he do to end up with fifty-three coins?

Never mind how there were so many.

Yet, how could the coins be both so unevenly distributed? Not even when giving a red envelope would you see this.

Though it was confusing, Gu Xi still took all the coins.

After all, he was traveling alone now.

There would definitely be times when money was needed.

In the game, he could fight and kill, but outside the game, having no money was like having barriers at every turn.

Gu Xi didn’t plan to sell anything for money; these funds came at just the right time.

After putting the coins away, Gu Xi then left the room.

Gu Xi noticed that the room was surprisingly in the dormitory building behind the City Lord’s Mansion.

By now, Bai Lian City had returned to its normal state, with the streets washed clean from the flood, and the collapsed structures had been rebuilt.

Players had begun to appear on the streets, coming and going.

Gu Xi looked at them and noticed that the players were muttering in small groups, all with expressions of envy.

As Gu Xi passed by them, he listened to a few more words.

Yesterday afternoon, two more pieces of Orange Armor were found.

Information on the new Orange Armor and their ownership had all been announced early this morning.

This effectively added four new pieces of Orange Armor to Bai Lian City.

The players’ tones were filled with envy and excitement.

As if the more pieces of Orange Armor guarding Bai Lian City, the more stable the city would become.

However, no one seemed to notice one situation.

The original Orange Armor promotional list of Bai Lian City, one of the three old pieces, the White Bone Obelisk, had already been removed.

Bai Lian City had proved one thing, the White Bone Obelisk was gone.

In the City Lord’s Mansion, the City Lord Bai Lian was discussing the situation with the military forces and several Noble Families.

"You all need to restrain yourselves. The Orange Armor is still in the hands of those who risked their lives; don’t act recklessly. Slowly cultivate them into Noble Families, don’t make it look ugly."

City Lord Bai Lian said while glancing at these people below.

He had seen all of their actions.

The lucky ones who obtained the Orange Armor were all contacted by the children of these people below, who tried to draw them in.

Various conditions were offered loftily.

That was that. Did they really think he didn’t know what those waves of people going secretly after Gu Xi got drunk last night were trying to do?

These youngsters had such shallow perspectives.

Did they really think such tactics would work?

The previous night, while drinking with Gu Xi, he already saw that Gu Xi’s mind wasn’t even in Bai Lian City, let alone in Ancestor City.

To him, it seemed Gu Xi was hoping for Creation to succeed so that he could start a family and build a career in the real world.

Trying to retain Gu Xi with minor tricks?

That was wishful thinking.

They’d better spend time looking into how Bai Lian City got attacked this time.

Yesterday’s fight at the deep pit in the dead Game World made City Lord Bai Lian think of the Guo Family, which perished with the White Bone Obelisk.

It seemed that the destruction of the White Bone Obelisk this time clearly indicated that the Guo Family had discovered something in the dead Game World.

However, City Lord Bai Lian never thought they would be so bold to meddle with the dead Game World.

Previously, he hadn’t investigated the disappearance of the White Bone Obelisk; now, it’s necessary.

This issue must be addressed by the Noble Families.
