"Shi Lao, do you know how many people are participating in this game?" Jiang Chen asked.
"That's hard to say. The delivery guy knows very little, but in three days, those participating will gather at the Shanghai dock and board a cruise ship to their destination. As for how many will join, we'll find out then," Shi Gaofeng replied.
"Alright, Shi Lao, just give me that card. I'll take the delivery guy's place and play this game," Jiang Chen said.
"Mr. Jiang, are you going alone? Isn't that dangerous?" Shi Gaofeng expressed some concern. Although Jiang Chen was powerful, the forces of the Dark World were formidable, with armed strength rivaling that of regular armies.
"No worries. The Dark World is nothing to me. I hope to find the Immortal Dragon Seal this time," Jiang Chen stated confidently.
Seeing Jiang Chen's confidence, Shi Gaofeng didn't press further. Accompanying him would be of no use and might even become a burden.
"By the way, Shi Lao, there's something I need to tell you. I've found the Kunlun Divine Mirror and the Heaven-Cleaving Axe," Jiang Chen added.
Upon hearing this, Shi Gaofeng was taken aback. After years of searching without finding a single artifact, Jiang Chen had discovered two in just a few months—truly astonishing.
At the Shyr family villa, Jiang Chen took out the Heaven-Cleaving Axe and Kunlun Divine Mirror from the Storage Jade Gourd. Shi Gaofeng examined these two artifacts closely, marveling at their magnificence.
After having lunch and chatting for a few hours with Shi Gaofeng, Jiang Chen returned to Shanghai in the afternoon.
Three days later, at the Shanghai dock.
Jiang Chen saw the cruise ship from the Dark World that was there to pick people up. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary cruise ship.
At the gangway, two uniformed personnel were checking cards; only those with cards could board.
Jiang Chen approached, presented his card, and boarded smoothly.
The cruise ship was large, over three hundred meters long, capable of carrying four thousand passengers.
On deck, aside from the crew members, there weren't many players like Jiang Chen.
Standing on the deck and looking at the dock below, he noticed young people boarding—both men and women.
Jiang Chen scanned these individuals with his spiritual sense and found nothing unusual; they seemed like ordinary people.
This made Jiang Chen even more curious. Wasn't it a bit pointless for the Dark World to gather so many regular folks for a game?
Half an hour later, most of the people had arrived, and the cruise ship set sail.
Jiang Chen estimated that over a hundred people had boarded this time. They all stood on deck, but their expressions were far from relaxed.
After all, this game was filled with uncertainties, and people often felt a heightened sense of fear when faced with the unknown.
As the cruise ship set sail, the passengers felt a mix of tension and restraint, keeping their distance from one another and refraining from conversation.
About ten minutes later, after the ship had traveled a fair distance, an elderly foreign man in a suit appeared on the deck, flanked by a group of bodyguards dressed in black.
"Welcome, players, to the Liberty Cruise," he announced in fluent Huaxia Language. "This maritime journey will last approximately seven days. After seven days, we will officially commence the game. Until then, you have seven days to prepare. All the food and entertainment options on board are complimentary, so feel free to indulge."
Once he finished speaking, the old man turned to leave, as if he had come solely to deliver that message.
"Excuse me, could you please tell us what the game entails?" suddenly asked a bespectacled man on the deck.
