Heroes' Prison

Chapter 752 - 717: Yue Yue’s Gift (Third Update)

"Then let’s do it!" Huang Yi nodded his head, not commenting on whether Zu Zaiyu’s approach was good or bad but fully agreeing with the other party’s decision.

It was a minor matter, and he tried to let Zu Zaiyu keep his judgment without being influenced by his opinion, fostering Zu Zaiyu’s habit of independent thinking and establishing the most important confidence.

"Alright, let’s get to it," Overlord, Knight, and Sunset immediately nodded their heads, fully respecting Zu Zaiyu’s suggestion without any objections and went to handle it right away.

Zu Zaiyu looked up at the several guild executives who were quick to act, and his young face suddenly froze, a different kind of brilliance suddenly radiating from the depths of his pure eyes.

He had never thought that the suggestion he made at such a young age would actually be executed immediately! It felt as though he was someone who issued orders, capable of thinking about something completely independently, and able to come up with methods on his own.

At that moment, he seemed to have opened the door to a new world, touching something different that the organization had never taught him.

...

The Hero Guild quickly spread the news of Huang Yi’s return, which was the first public message after his reincarnation, immediately drawing the attention of major media worldwide.

In a short time, the news became wildly discussed, and at this critical moment of national war, the return of this key figure could potentially bring some unexpected changes.

The next day, before logging on, Huang Yi visited the forum to have a look.

As expected, among the 24-hour hot posts, he saw the news of his return to the Hero’s Continent.

"Hero’s Continent war crisis intensifies, with 12 countries invading the Hero’s Continent and 8 super-first masters leading. The national territory has lost nearly 1/4, with several other countries considering invading the Hero’s Continent."

"At the critical moment of Hero’s Continent’s national war, the Hero Guild announces the high-profile return of God of Slaughter! The future of the Hero’s Continent is unpredictable."

"God of Slaughter’s level has only recovered to 44, with limited strength, making it difficult to influence the national war. Analysts claim God of Slaughter might have other means to alter the course of the national war!"

"Russian Continent and Pharaoh Continent’s national war intensifies, Pharaoh flew to Washington overnight to meet the United States’ newly risen super-first master Dante, seeking to pull allies!"

"Germany’s player leader Zhan Che gains 1 National Honor Point during the invasion of the Hero’s Continent, adding an important weight to winning the national war."

...

The 24-hour hot posts on the forum were basically overwhelmed by the wars between countries, with multiple countries erupting in national wars, and the Chinese Mainland being the most intense among all these wars.

Huang Yi browsed through briefly, gaining new insight into the current world situation, and then entered The Second World.

At this time, the room was empty, the five girls were not there. Huang Yi checked the friends list and saw only Yue Yue online, probably out.

Summer cicadas were chirping on the trees outside the window, and the golden morning sun warmly shone in, with dew sparkling on the green grass; everything was so peaceful and serene.

Huang Yi decided to go out for a walk, strolling around this most ordinary small town like a commoner, enjoying this rare peaceful life.

He gently opened the wooden gate of the courtyard and went out to the small alley, wandering aimlessly in the town.

Along the way, he walked without a specific purpose, observing ordinary people living their daily lives. He saw smoke curling up from the chimneys of houses, encountered children playing and chasing each other, met mothers calling their children home for a meal, and saw players full of anticipation heading to the Teleport Plaza. Everyone lived such a calm life, day after day.

Gradually, he reached the trading area of the town where many players had set up stalls, selling equipment they had obtained or some supplies they owned; the place was bustling and lively.

"Boss, how much are you selling this Absolute Invisibility Potion for?" Just then, Huang Yi suddenly heard a familiar voice, soft and filled with a tender tone.

He turned around and was surprised to find Yue Yue not far away, talking to a stall owner selling potions.

"This potion is really good, it can give a player one minute of absolute invisibility, great for saving one’s life. Seeing you’re a female player, I’ll give you a special price today, two thousand Gold Coins for you," the stall owner said enthusiastically.

"Ah! That’s so expensive, I only have three hundred Gold Coins left," Yue Yue’s expression dimmed, and she said somewhat sheepishly.

"This, this is too little!" The stall owner’s face showed some embarrassment, and his enthusiasm dropped significantly.

Yue Yue looked at the potion bottle, bit her lip, and suddenly took out a necklace that was shimmering with orange light, saying, "This is an Orange Gear necklace, worth about ten thousand Gold Coins on the market. It took me several days to get it in the Tower of Pantheons. How about trading it for five bottles of Absolute Invisibility Potion plus one bottle of Random Instant Teleport Potion?"

"An Orange Gear necklace! Orange Gear isn’t as valuable as it used to be, not to mention your necklace isn’t of a high level." The stall owner glanced at the Orange Gear necklace Yue Yue held, his enthusiasm not that high, seemingly accustomed to Orange Gear, saying, "How about this, I’ll trade you four bottles of Absolute Invisibility Potion and one Random Teleportation Potion for it. If you don’t want to trade, then forget it. Orange Gear really isn’t as valuable as it used to be, you’re out of date, still treating Orange Gear like a treasure!"

Yue Yue glanced at the potions and then at the Orange Gear necklace in her hand, biting her lip, she hesitated.

"Alright, I’ll trade!" Very soon, Yue Yue still gritted her teeth and nodded her head.

Huang Yi stood not far away, quietly watching the transaction of this ordinary player. He had won a large amount of Gold Coins just betting at the martial arts competition not too long ago, and his personal assets had already reached several trillion. Including the wealth of friends such as Thunder God, it totaled over a hundred trillion; a mere ten thousand Gold Coins was nothing more than a drizzle to him. But for Yue Yue, ten thousand Gold Coins were a huge sum.

At this moment, Yue Yue had already completed the transaction with the stall owner and left with the several bottles of potions, gradually disappearing into the crowd.

Huang Yi also withdrew his gaze and continued to stroll in the peaceful town, experiencing the simple life of ordinary people.

It wasn’t until the sunset that Huang Yi walked back to the courtyard with his long shadow trailing behind him.

At this time, Yue Yue was sitting in a rattan chair at the doorway, flipping through the thick "Overview of the First World" against the setting sun.

The afterglow colored the sky red, and the golden sunset sprinkled down from the edge of the sky, casting a tranquil and intelligent warmth over her bent head as she read, radiating a sense of intellectual elegance.

Yue Yue seemed to sense someone’s arrival, looked up, and after seeing it was Huang Yi, immediately closed the book, got up, and walked over quickly, smiling, "Apprentice! You’re back so late, your master has some things for you."

"What things?" Huang Yi quietly looked at her.

Yue Yue pursed her lips and said, "Yesterday, we encountered scoundrels like Unbeatable Blade, Zhang Tian, Holy Light, and others. We might run into them again. Since your few masters aren’t often online, if you encounter them, use these to escape!" With that, she immediately took out several items and handed them to Huang Yi.

Huang Yi looked at them and was immediately taken aback.

In Yue Yue’s hands were five potion bottles, reflecting clear light under the sunset.

These potions were exactly what Yue Yue had traded her only Orange Gear necklace for at the market with the stall owner.

Seeing Huang Yi’s stunned expression, Yue Yue thought he didn’t know the effects of the potions and explained in detail, "These four blue potions are Absolute Invisibility Potions. After using them, you can become completely invisible, and they won’t be able to see you. This purple potion is a Random Teleportation Potion, which can teleport you to any place within a three-hundred-meter radius. It’s also very effective for escaping. With these potions, you won’t be so easily killed in the future!"

After saying that, Yue Yue stuffed the five potion bottles directly into Huang Yi’s hands, affectionately patting his head as a master would with a beloved apprentice.

"Thank you, master." Huang Yi bit his lip and took the potion bottles, asking expressionlessly, "These potions must be expensive, right? How did master obtain them?"

"I bought them! These kinds of potions are rare, and I just happened to see some today, so I bought a few. There might not be any for sale next time." Yue Yue said nonchalantly.

Huang Yi stared into Yue Yue’s eyes and said, "Didn’t you and Haitang struggle to even find a job? The Gold Coins spent on these potions, when converted to real-world money, are quite a significant expense!"

"Oh my, don’t worry about that. It’s only right for a master to give her apprentice a little something, why say so much about it. Whether or not I can find a job has nothing to do with it." Yue Yue didn’t seem to want to dwell on the issue, pulling Huang Yi’s hand and walking out of the courtyard, saying, "Apprentice, let me take you to grind levels. You’ve been reincarnated for so long, otherwise, you’ll fall far behind others in levels. With your master guiding you, you can grind some experience, at least, so others won’t bully you in the future."

"No one can bully me, actually, I’m quite powerful." Huang Yi followed Yue Yue obediently, walking while speaking.

"Keep boasting!" Yue Yue turned and gave Huang Yi a smile, her eyes squinting into crescents, "You’ve been beaten up by others and reincarnated, yet you say you are powerful! You need to be more careful in the future, don’t provoke those strong players, and don’t make your master worry!"

"Sure, as long as others don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke anyone else. If master ever encounters any trouble, you can find me anytime, don’t underestimate my strength!" Huang Yi casually said.

"Besides those few scoundrels, your master has no enemies. I’m just an ordinary player, not competing for supremacy or getting into fights, just relaxing when I log in, impossible to trouble anyone. And once I find a job, I will be online even less, even less likely to trouble anyone." Yue Yue said, a faint sadness appearing on her face, as if the issue of finding a job was a constant worry for her. She and Haitang had been looking for jobs for a long time but had not found any.

Seeing the worried look on Yue Yue’s face, Huang Yi pursed his lips and immediately sent a message to Ying Lin, "Ying Lin, no matter what you do, recruit a girl named Guanshan Lingyue and another named Yixi Haitang into your guild. Make up any excuse, give them an easy management position, and send them a few million or tens of millions of Gold Coins to ensure they have no worries about life. I will pay for it."
