Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 594: Yuelai Inn

Right at this time, a giant man nearly three meters tall, resembling an iron tower, walked out rapidly. With one grab, he took Li Wei's carrying pole and directly stepped into the back kitchen.

"Little brother, you've worked hard. This is the reward given to you. However, it's already late, and it's not too safe outside. Do you want to stay in the inn and set off on your journey early tomorrow morning?"

The Proprietress, with a face full of smiles, wiped her hand from her bosom and took out a small and exquisite Red Lantern, handing it over.

Li Wei took it, avoiding the Proprietress's gaze. He looked outside again, thought for a moment, and then nodded. If he truly left just like this, coming and going, two Red Lanterns would be completely wasted. It was equivalent to doing a trip of work for nothing. It was better to stay here for the night.

Of course, he had to ask the price first.

"How much for the room?"

"Not much. A top-quality guest room, including two meals, only costs three years of Lifespan. Furthermore, there will also be a benefit."

The Proprietress spoke in a delicate and charming voice.

Good Heavens, Lifespan again. Li Wei subconsciously wanted to refuse, but thinking about it, he still asked, "What benefit?""A quota in a Mining Squad. Coming here, aren't you all doing it for Source Ore? To tell the truth, although this item is good, it is not easy to obtain. That massive Blood Plague Swamp outside, little brother, you should have seen it. That was left behind after mining Source Ore. Nowadays, if you want to find Source Ore, you either have a map yourself, or defect to A Faction, or you can only mine for my Neutral City."

"We have accurate mine locations. At that time, of the Source Ore mined and brought back, you, Honored Guest, can take ten percent. Of course, the mining team needs to gather enough hands. Generally speaking, five people make a team. Your luck is very good, Honored Guest. Currently there are already two Honored Guests. As long as one more comes, we will immediately set off. So, do you want to register? This way, after enough hands are gathered, you won't need to worry about others jumping the queue."

"Jumping the queue?"

Li Wei was startled. This matter actually needed to be fought over ah.

At this time, he subconsciously looked towards the interior lobby of the inn. Sure enough, he saw two men seated in the antique-flavored lobby, separated far away from each other.

Neither of these two people had Straw Hats, Straw Sandals, or Coarse Cloth Garb on their bodies. Without the concealment effect, Li Wei also wasn't certain if he had seen them before.

Their Gear each had its own characteristics. One was a black-clothed old man, his physique as sturdy as City Walls; one look and it was obvious he was of the Warrior Profession.

One was a cold and stern-faced middle-aged man, the killing intent on his body like madness. Sitting there alone gave a feeling of a massive army with thousands of horses charging right at one's face. Even Li Wei's aura slightly stagnated. This should be of the Knight Profession.

Right while he was pondering, a woman walked in from outside the inn again. Her age was around twenty. Her face was like jade, yet her temperament was icy cold and insidious, just like a venomous snake hiding in the shadows. So she was most likely a Ranger, but very possibly had taken the branch route of an Assassin.

The Proprietress went up to receive her with a smile, and then had the Attendant guide her to sit to one side.

"Honored Guest, look. Now there are already three gathered. Adding you, we will very quickly be able to gather a five-person Mining Squad. Stay here for a night and set off early tomorrow morning. Our shop has top-quality guest rooms, specialty Braised Beef, and the fine wine Drunken Three Thousand is even more of a masterpiece!

Guaranteed to satisfy you."

"Fine!"

Since matters had reached this point, Li Wei also didn't refuse anymore. Because this might be the only channel for him to obtain Source Ore under the current circumstances.

Very quickly, the Attendant jogged up enthusiastically to greet him. This was a young lad of about twenty-something years old. With red lips, white teeth, and spirited eyes, he was very clever. But Li Wei was Unable To See Through his reality and falseness. This in itself was already very extraordinary.

"First bring me some food, then pick a guest room!"

As Li Wei spoke, he also chose an empty seat and sat down. Newly Arrived, it was fitting to quietly observe changes.

And after he took his seat, the Attendant very quickly served four side dishes and a pot of fine wine. They looked ordinary, but in reality, they were all of Five-Star quality. So exchanging three years of Lifespan for these two meals plus staying one night, as well as the quota in the Mining Squad, seemed not bad?

"Honored Guest, please enjoy. We here are a ten-thousand-year-old shop. You are absolutely safe with us here. If there's anything, you can find me to understand it."

The Attendant smiled brightly, while Li Wei nodded. A ten-thousand-year-old shop, huh.

He immediately took out that Ghost-Head Token.

"Then can I inquire about some things? For example, this thing, how is it best used?"

Seeing this item, the smile on the Attendant's face immediately became a bit brighter.

"With this item, your profit in the Mining Squad can be divided to two-tenths. Besides this, you can also accept some additional random tasks. For example, the goods you delivered previously were a kind of random task."

"Finally, there is one more thing to remind the Honored Guest. Our shop is a ten-thousand-year-old shop with an outstanding reputation, but it is also inevitable that it has fallen into disrepair over the years and has some damage. Therefore, whenever the Red Lanterns turn into 18, please return to your room to rest, Honored Guest. Early tomorrow morning, if there is no rooster's crow, please do not open the door."

"So that's how it is. Many thanks."

Li Wei gave his thanks and began to eat carefully. He originally thought there would be some tricks in this food, but the result was truly not bad. Genuine high-quality ingredients, extremely delicious. Especially that fine wine named Drunken Three Thousand; it was truly wonderful. After unknowingly drinking it all, his Spiritual Power maximum limit even permanently increased by 5 points.

But next, he waited in the inn's lobby the whole time. Waiting until after dinner, there was still no fifth guest coming to the door. So it couldn't be that they had to keep waiting like this, right?

Very quickly, the large Red Lanterns outside the Yuelai Inn extinguished one by one in sequence, just like drumbeats or some kind of countdown. At this moment, that glamorous Proprietress and the Attendant actually left the inn. The other three people then successively got up and returned to their rooms to rest. Li Wei also followed behind. Only that cook was nowhere to be seen.

This scene made Li Wei secretly feel somewhat uneasy, but looking again at those three people, they had an extremely accustomed appearance. They each headed to the second-floor guest rooms in the inn's backyard. The rooms of the four people were right next to each other. Li Wei's room number was Heaven Number Four.

Upon entering this room, he found that it was indeed a top-quality guest room. Clean and sanitary, it was quite elegant. Lying on the bed, his mind was peaceful. There probably wouldn't be female Ghosts with disheveled hair coming to disturb people's sweet dreams, right?

"The task this time is a bit of a scam!"

Lying on the bed, Li Wei pondered his experiences of these days, as well as the information provided. To tell the truth, he was somewhat unaccustomed to it. This was entirely different from the task rhythm and internal environment within the Alliance of Heavenly Lords.

Comparing the two, the Neanderthals even appeared somewhat cute.

"However, based on what is currently seen, the context can be clarified."

"First of all, those Samsara Travelers, Contractors, and many other faction organizations allying together seems to have broken a certain chain of interests of the Alliance of Heavenly Lords in the Chaotic Realm, resulting in massive losses recently. Therefore, the Nine-Star Council decided to counterattack. This was why they dispatched the ten Rangers most adept at acting as Scouts. The objective is to lie dormant in the enemy's rear or some location to build Outpost Safehouses. This is just like special forces lying dormant in the enemy's hinterland, conducting laser guidance around some valuable targets for allied forces to bomb————"

"This overall strategy and tactics are not complex. It's just this matter."

"However, to establish an Outpost Safehouse, one needs a sufficient amount of Source Ore. Yet the Nine-Star Council cannot proactively provide it. Is it because they fear there are inner ghosts and would Beat the Grass to Startle the Snake? So we ten Rangers still have to think of ways to dig for Source Ore ourselves."

"And then act as we see fit. Then, can I treat myself as a Samsara Traveler?"

Right while he was pondering, Li Wei's heart suddenly trembled violently for no reason. At the same time, that Ghost-Head Token also appeared in his hand, currently emitting a faint blood light.

And within this blood light, a line of information silently floated up.

[Neutral City Random Task: A certain Mining Squad in the northern mining area urgently needs one Miner. Those with Entry Passes have priority. Come quickly!]

Holy shit? This works too.

Li Wei was taken aback, and immediately tapped on it. The result was that in the next second, his hand was too slow. Good Heavens, is the competition this fierce?

Or is it to say that Source Ore has basically already been monopolized by the faction of this Neutral City, forcing Various Factions to all come here to scramble for work?

Thinking like this, a wave of weariness surged up. Unknowingly, Li Wei sank into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, he exactly heard the sound of a rooster crowing transmit over. This night, unexpectedly, nothing happened.

But this was also right. Paying three years of Lifespan to sleep one night, if there were still various matters, that would be too much of a scam.

Moreover, this feeling was truly good. Who knew what origin this room and this bed had? Sleeping one night unexpectedly permanently increased his Spiritual Power by 5 points again.

But right at this time, the Ghost-Head Token vibrated again. Blood light fluttered, and a line of information floated up from within it.

[The number of miners at Yuelai Inn has reached five. A fully-staffed Mining Squad can be set in motion. Because you have already registered, you can set off upon opening the door.]

Great! It came so fast. But isn't there still a breakfast————

Li Wei at this time perceived that the rooms of the entire inn were vibrating slightly, seemingly as if some kind of magical mechanism was operating. No, it was as if this inn was like a living creature————

This thought had only just flashed past before it was immediately snuffed out by him. Don't think too much; thinking too much isn't a good thing. At once he confirmed his condition and immediately pushed open the door to the room. The result was that in the next second, he was astonished to discover that the situation outside the door had already changed. It was no longer the appearance of the Yuelai Inn, but amidst a volcano where fiery Lava was suspected to be boiling.

At this time, there was currently surging Lava sweeping towards him.

Wah fuck!

What the hell?

Li Wei subconsciously wanted to retreat, but retreated into empty space. He only faintly saw the phantom of a colossal monster flash past and disappear in the distance.

It was that living Yuelai Inn. It unexpectedly sent them to the hinterlands of this volcano in an extremely short period of time.

Not daring to have the slightest negligence, Li Wei directly incarnated into a Sky Eagle and soared into the sky, avoiding this wave of massive Lava waves. Soon after, he recovered his human form again, landing on a protruding giant boulder. At this time, there were also four other figures each displaying their methods to charge out from the Lava. In the blink of an eye, the five of them converged on this giant boulder.

At this time, that black-clothed old man immediately spoke up: "Who is a novice? Who has an Entry Pass in hand? What is everyone's respective Profession? Report them all. Don't be Being Clandestine, lest the team gets wiped. I am a Warrior, Rank 5. You can call me Old Jia. This is already my sixteenth time coming to mine. If no one has mined more times than me, I suggest I act as the captain."

As he spoke, the old man had already taken out an identical Ghost-Head Pass in his hand.
