I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 997 525: Ghosts in Position, the Battle Royale Begins

"Changed your equipment? Must have spent quite a bit of resources."

At night, Shura keenly noticed the changes in the Grand Heavenly position. Fortunately, he had a text reminder; otherwise, others might not have noticed, as the changes were very subtle.

The Grand Heavenly position didn't hide anything and nodded in response: "Spent a lot, almost couldn't stop the bleeding."

It has to be said, these two sets were truly expensive, even though he brought it upon himself. However, it was really worth the price.

Both the attributes and effects were very satisfactory.

"Expensive it is, but it can be used for a long time." Shura meant he had previously customized a batch, but now couldn't even think of custom designing without a break.

The Grand Heavenly position actually didn't believe this was true; it seemed a bit ridiculous. He believed Shura had equipment more suited to him.

Only Guang Guai Luli knew about Shura's system switch, and naturally, only Shura knew about Guang Guai Luli's switch. Hence, it's normal for Shura not to have enough resources to have Gu Shanhai custom design equipment.

Otherwise, how else could he quickly return to his peak if resources weren't poured in?

But if Shura really wanted to switch, he could afford it, just that it might lead to a break in the capital chain after the switch.

Might as well accumulate a bit more before making a switch.

If the capital chain breaks affecting self-improvement, the equipment might not even save him.

"Any findings?"

The two returned to the underground laboratory built by Gu Shanhai. They had tacitly assumed it to be the base.

So as soon as they returned, Gu Shanhai asked.

"It can be confirmed that the villagers here are members of the Bai Gui Sect, and very likely part of the BOSS."

"The only downside is that the Teleportation Array was not found; there were some traces at the shrine, but it has been destroyed. The traces are recent, and I suspect some ghosts acted in advance." Shura summarized briefly.

The Grand Heavenly position said nothing, found a place to sit down, rest, and recuperate. After midnight, he'd have to hunt down the descending ghosts.

"I have already investigated the true purpose of this level, just lacking much evidence; those who destroyed it should be..." Gu Shanhai revealed his deductions about the ghost candidate, not saying everything but picking useful parts for the Grand Heavenly position and Shura.

"I see, the All Ghosts Survival Platform's key cultivated individuals are causing trouble, they're elites."

"It also makes sense that they could act in advance."

With such preferential treatment, Shura naturally felt deeply. After all, he could vaguely sense that he was supported by the "First Era," not just him, but most players in the first tier enjoyed such treatment.

But the Grand Heavenly position did not; if he really had, he wouldn't have risen so late.

"Do you have the confidence to repair it?" Shura wasn't confident, as the Array had been destroyed, investigating further seemed pointless.

"I can repair it." Gu Shanhai could even locate without needing the Array, but he wouldn't say that: "I just need time."

When his mind was enough, he could break it instantly; now, due to the rushing of progress, he could only take it slow.

"How long will it take?" Upon hearing this, Shura had a foreboding feeling.

Gu Shanhai estimated and said: "Specifically depends on the residual traces. At the fastest, it'll also take twenty-four hours."

This was true, unless he mobilized the corresponding mentality and computing power, otherwise, there was no hope.

"What if it's completely destroyed?" Shura recalled, his face slightly grim.

"No idea, unless there's not a trace left. Otherwise, it'll take a minimum of seventy-two hours, as a conservative estimate." Gu Shanhai didn't make unreasonable promises.

"This time it's really bad, though not completely destroyed, only some remnants are left." Shura said with a tone of helplessness.

"A core Array isn't necessarily needed; you can collect nodes and finally gather them to me."

"The situation in the Old Mountain Village is different, unlike in a villa area. We can't investigate other villa nodes."

"Here, besides the shrine, there must be other nodes."

"Of course, if there are no other nodes, then it represents..."

Before Gu Shanhai could finish, the Grand Heavenly position followed up: "It represents that this time the BOSS might all be in the same room, possibly in complete form."

"Exactly, so you have to work in the dark." Gu Shanhai agreed.

"So basically, I'm destined to be a busybody." Shura couldn't help but laugh and cry, as everything fell on him.

Luckily, none were particularly relaxed: the Grand Heavenly position had monsters to hunt that couldn't be killed, Gu Shanhai, not to mention, just constructing this underground chamber proved he wasn't slacking off.

Conversely, Shura could be somewhat more relaxed; his main task was investigation and he had text reminders to assist, making the difficulty drop by several levels instantly.

"How about we switch roles?" The Grand Heavenly position jokingly suggested.

"Yeah right, you've already equipped your gear; there's no swapping with me." Shura retorted and then got up to leave.

Staying and resting was certainly impossible now; if he couldn't figure it out, he'd be restless even in rest. Wanting to rest could wait until after clearing the stage, it's not too late then.

In terms of grinding the game, Shura was extremely diligent.

"Looks like the pressure on him is indeed not small this time." The Grand Heavenly position commented, watching Shura leave with a sigh.
