Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1037: An Invitation from a Stranger

After Zheng-Fu agreed to join the Three Suns Force, Zhe-Chun immediately introduced him to the rest of the Force. Everyone was friendly and teased him a lot about Jie-Yi. Because everyone had seen everything that had happened before.

"Zhe-Chun, can you tell me about the Three Suns Force?" Zheng-Fu asked Zhe-Chun about the history of the Three Suns Force.

"Yes, actually, even if you didn't ask, I would still have to tell you. Because everyone must know," Zhe-Chun nodded and quickly responded.

Thank you!

Two hours went by...

"The whole story of our forces is like this. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me."

After two hours had passed, Zhe-Chun finally finished his story. Actually, it should only take him an hour. But because he mixed in his own story, it made it longer than it should have been. But even so, Zheng-Fu did not interrupt and just listened intently.

"Thank you very much. And when will we return to Three Suns Force?" Zheng-Fu wanted to see what the location of the Three Suns Force was like. Because from what he had heard, there was quite a lot of Deity Energy.

"One more day, Force Leader said so. But why do you ask?" Zhe-Chun thought for a moment before answering and asking back.

"I just want to know. Because I haven't explored the entire city yet. I want to walk around a little more. So, it's good for me as well," Zheng-Fu smiled and made up an excuse. He could not tell him that he wanted to see the location of the Three Suns Force to see how dense the energy was.

Umm!

"Then let me take you for a walk around the city. I come to Cloud Valley City so often that I already know every alley. Whether it's weapons and armor shops, medicine shops, general stores, or various happiness services places, I know them all. If you're interested, I'd be happy to…"

"Never mind! I'd rather go by myself, for I still can't think of where to go first. I just want to walk around and look," Zheng-Fu immediately rejected Zhe-Chun. Because actually, he did not plan on going anywhere. He just wanted to go back to the tavern where he was staying.

"Then it's up to you. But where are you staying? You're now a member of Three Suns Force. You can come stay with us at the tavern across the street. Because that tavern is under our control!" Seeing that Zheng-Fu did not want him to go with him, Zhe-Chun did not say much. He just nodded and asked where Zheng-Fu was staying instead.

"Umm! I stay there too. Then I'll excuse myself first." Zheng-Fu did not think that the tavern he was staying at was Three Suns Force's tavern. But even though he knew, he did not think to ask for a refund for the service fee. Because before this, he was not yet a member of the Three Suns Force.

All right!

After coming out of the restaurant, Zheng-Fu saw that the people in the city were still walking around. Especially in areas where there were roadside stalls. They mostly sold general merchandise, strange crystals, and even weapons and armor.

At Cloud Valley City's central trading area...

"The souls of the advanced Deity Apprentice stage monsters are this way! And we also have those of the Heavenly Deity Originate stage monsters."

"High Heavenly Armor and One Star Deity stage!!!"

"Cute monster beast pets are over here!"

"Excellent green herbs, please come this way!"

As soon as Zheng-Fu walked into this trading area, he heard the merchants shouting for him to come look at their goods. Most of the items on the stalls were not interesting to Zheng-Fu at all. So, he just walked past.

Blop!

"Younger Brother, you seem like a newcomer, right? Are you interested in working with me? I assure you it's a non-dangerous job and pays fairly well!"

While Zheng-Fu was browsing the stalls, a middle-aged man suddenly walked up to grab his arm and invited him to join his work. Zheng-Fu already knew that this man would enter. But he did not hide and let the man in, so he could know what the other party's intentions were.

A job?

"What kind of job, Elder Brother? I'm new here. I still don't know much. Besides, I still don't have any money to spend on Deity Land. If it were a non-dangerous job and paid well, I would do it." Zheng-Fu smiled as he answered the middle-aged man. He thought that the other party definitely did not have any good intentions, judging from his sly smile and the glint in his eyes.

"Then that's wonderful! If Younger Brother is interested, please follow me. There are still many people who have to work with us as well. Many of them who accepted this job also came from the Small World like you." The middle-aged man did not hesitate and hurriedly invited Zheng-Fu to gather with the others.

All right!

Ten minutes passed...

After Zheng-Fu followed the middle-aged man, he soon arrived at the meeting point where the middle-aged man had arranged for the others. And there was already a group of men and women waiting there.

"Hello, everyone! I apologize for being late. I just happened to meet an interesting person. So, I invited him to join us!" the middle-aged man who had brought Zheng-Fu said to everyone.

Umm!

"Hurry up, I don't have much time. Now it's time to leave. But if you don't go, I don't mind at all. After all, the person who goes will surely get the prize money!" another middle-aged man with a thick beard said in a serious tone.

"Calm down, Sen-Lao! You know how important this work is to us. We should be very concerned about safety. The more people, the better. We can help each other more!" The first middle-aged man argued. Judging by his words, it was as if they were using a secret code to communicate these words.

Huh!

"Alright, everyone, it's time to leave. For details of this mission, we will tell you after we reach the location. I hope everyone understands." The middle-aged man turned to the rest of the group and told them to start their journey. But he still did not say what this mission was.

At first, Zheng-Fu thought he would change his mind and not go with them. But something told him to go. Zheng-Fu then sent a message to Zhe-Chun, saying that he was out of the city on some errand and might not be able to return to the force with the others. But whenever he finished his errand, he would follow them immediately.

When Zhe-Chun found out about this, he tried to follow Zheng-Fu along. Because he had heard the news about a group of people who liked to lure people into going on missions. But no one knew much about what happened to those people. There were only various rumors. However, Zheng-Fu refused to let him follow along.

"You're a newcomer too, right? You look so young. You must be the son of a powerful person in your world, right?" As Zheng-Fu was walking leisurely, a young man suddenly walked up and stopped beside him, before starting to talk to him.

"Not quite like that. Actually, I come from a gravel world which is even smaller than the small worlds. And I'm not from a big clan," Zheng-Fu answered the young man honestly. Because he saw in the young man's eyes that he had no ill intentions.

Umm!

"You come from the gravel world? Then you must really be a very talented person. There were very few people from the gravel worlds who had made it here. Because in my small world, people from the gravel worlds usually take a hundred to two hundred years to break through to this level. I really respect you! I, Yun-Xiang-Kong. Nice to meet you!" Although the young man knew that Zheng-Fu was from the gravel world, his eyes did not change at all. It became even brighter and showed that he admired Zheng-Fu very much.

"I, Zheng-Fu. Nice to meet you too!" Zheng-Fu kept watching the young man's expression all the time. He wanted to know if the other party would change his attitude towards him when he knew that. And seeing that Yun-Xiang-Kong had not changed at all, he also felt good and thought that the other party was worth associating with.

"Zheng-Fu? Umm!" The young man repeated Zheng-Fu's name with a slight nod. Before he continued, "Zheng-Fu, do you think this task is strange? I feel like it's strange." The young man had always wanted to find someone he could talk to like this since he arrived. But no one was willing to talk to him. Until finally, he came to join the mission with this group and met Zheng-Fu. And when he saw that Zheng-Fu looked like he could get along with him, he told him what he was secretly thinking.

"I don't know if it's strange or not. But I can only tell you that you should be very careful. Because besides the monster beasts, humans with excellent intelligence are all terrifying." Zheng-Fu did not say anything more. Because he still could not confirm what the middle-aged man who brought them wanted. But he was sure it would not be a good thing. And he agreed to come because he knew he could handle these people.

Two hours passed...

"Everyone takes a break here first. Wait for our employer to arrive and then continue our journey!" After traveling for two hours, the middle-aged man who had led them shouted to everyone to take a break in the open space under a large tree, which was the meeting place with the employer.

Sigh!

"How far have we traveled? I feel that it's definitely not less than a thousand or two thousand li," Yun-Xiang-Kong said softly with a questioning expression because he felt that they had traveled so far from Cloud Valley City that he could hardly remember the way back.

"We left Cloud Valley City and came south around two thousand five hundred li. Where we are is still considered a safe zone. Most monster beasts with the highest energy levels are at the advanced Deity Apprentice stage and the first and second levels of the Heavenly Deity Originate stage. With those energy levels, the man with the thick beard could handle it with ease, except he wouldn't take care of us and let us be bait!"

Zheng-Fu turned and smiled at Yun-Xiang-Kong before explaining their location. He had already studied the map surrounding the city in a radius of ten thousand li. So, he knew where they were now and how strong the monster beasts around there were.

"How come you know so much? Didn't you say you were a newcomer?" Yun-Xiang-Kong was slightly puzzled upon hearing Zheng-Fu's explanation. Because Zheng-Fu had just come to this city as well. But why did Zheng-Fu know more than he did?

"I'm definitely a newcomer. But I arrived two months before you. So, I have enough time to study a little!" Zheng-Fu smiled mysteriously at the corner of his mouth as he replied. He knew that if he explained, Yun-Xiang-Kong would definitely ask him. However, he did not say anything more than that.

Umm!
