“Crack…”
The Dragon's Roar trembled slightly, enveloped in a layer of intense golden light, sharply cutting into the shoulder of the Green-Eyed Giant. Following that, it made a swift diagonal slash downward, grazing across its chest before adding an upward thrust, seamlessly unleashing three consecutive hits.
“Roar…”
An angry roar erupted as the Green-Eyed Giant swung its Steel Blade towards Yi Tianchen. The blade tip shimmered with a faint, bone-chilling coldness, almost grazing Yi Tianchen's nose and causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He quickly jumped back repeatedly to evade the attack.
“That was close!”
Yi Tianchen thought to himself, calming his nerves slightly before adjusting his Tactics. Suddenly, he moved like a whirlwind, launching into a Death Entanglement followed by the powerful Hell Combo, delivering a fierce assault in an instant.
The level two Hell Combo, while not significantly stronger than level one aside from increased mana consumption, combined with Yi Tianchen's exceptionally high attack power, produced terrifying results. For an ordinary player of the same level, it would likely mean instant defeat.
A minute later, the second Green-Eyed Giant fell in frustration.
Picking up the dropped coins, Yi Tianchen continued to hunt down solitary Green-Eyed Giants. With a deeper understanding of their attack patterns and overall strength, he naturally gained a significant advantage in combat—often overwhelming.
“Hmm, continue… aim to clear them out before sunset!”
He glanced up slightly; the sun in the game had moved to a point between its highest and lowest positions. He estimated that in just over two hours, it would sink behind the mountains.

Guilin.
As January progressed, temperatures began to rise gradually, reaching over twenty degrees at times. In this late winter period, it felt quite pleasant. The north wind was no longer biting; it started to mix with a gentle breeze. Although still chilly and hard to bear, those who had lived here for a while had grown accustomed to it.
South New District.
As a newly developed area, it gathered numerous enterprises, with Zeng Group being one of them. Two years ago, when the new district opened for investment, Zeng Group Company was the first to respond and even brought along its brother company Liu Group Company. However, only Zeng Group Company eventually relocated.
“Why is the young master here at the company today?”
At the entrance of the Zeng Group, a security guard in his forties stood upright outside the pavilion, greeting Zeng Jian with a broad smile. However, Zeng Jian dismissed the greeting with indifference, not even glancing at him as he drove his BMW inside.
After getting out of the car, Zeng Jian hurriedly made his way up to the company building, heading straight for Zeng Huairen's office.
Upon learning that his son was coming, Zeng Huairen was somewhat surprised. It was well known that Zeng Jian rarely visited the company; at most, he would make a phone call or send a text message, communicating his needs indirectly. Zeng Huairen had no way to change this.
When he saw Zeng Jian, Zeng Huairen couldn't help but feel a pang of unease in his heart. When had his son ever looked so serious? It was evident that everything about him was different from before. Was he facing some troublesome issue?
“Dad, I need you to help me out,” Zeng Jian stated directly.
“Help with what? What’s going on?” Zeng Huairen asked, slightly furrowing his brow as he set down several documents. “What is it? Did you run into another problem in your game? I know nothing about gaming; you’ll have to handle it yourself.”
“It’s about the game, but it needs to be resolved in reality,” Zeng Jian replied, feeling speechless. Before he could explain further, he was interrupted. Gathering his thoughts, he continued, “You know I made a bet with Liu Yuhan. If I want to swallow up Liu Group's assets, I must first take down Liu Yuhan.”
“Go on, how do you want me to help?” Upon hearing this, a spark of excitement appeared in Zeng Huairen's calm gaze, and his tone became much more serious. “What do you need from me?”
Zeng Jian smiled lightly, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes as he detailed the situation. He added embellishments as he spoke: “Dad, I’m not exaggerating when I say that if Liu Yuhan establishes the first Chamber, it will create a monopoly. Our profit chain will be completely disrupted or even severed.”
“So… you want me to visit Liu Group and pressure Liu Tianlong through a cooperative investment project to freeze Liu Yuhan’s accounts and cut off her funding?” After listening to Zeng Jian’s elaborate explanation and embellishments, Zeng Huairen's expression grew significantly more serious.
“Exactly!”
Zeng Jian nodded firmly, a sly smile creeping onto his lips as he continued, “As long as she loses financial support, Liu Yuhan won’t be able to establish her Chamber. This will buy us considerable time. With our solid foundation, victory will be assured.”
Zeng Huairen pondered this carefully, filtering through the key information before responding, “If necessary, I can make the trip.”
“Yes, it’s essential!” Zeng Jian affirmed resolutely.
Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock—the sound of time passing…
Just like in the game, each login point would experience a real sunrise and sunset according to its natural time.
At dusk, 6:20 PM...
Yi Tianchen stood proudly beneath a tree, his foot resting on the corpse of a Green-Eyed Giant. The Dragon's Roar was embedded several inches deep in the flesh, and crimson blood flowed slowly, quickly coagulating into soft, dark red clots resembling tofu.
In the distance, the western sky was adorned with blocky red clouds, their edges illuminated by the last rays of the sun, piercing through like fine needles. Nearby, due to the steep mountains, Ailan Gorge had already plunged into darkness, with only the peaks still catching some light.
"Clang..."
With one hand gripping his sword, Yi Tianchen exerted a slight force and pulled out Dragon's Roar. He then bent down to collect his spoils before reluctantly moving away. After a whole afternoon of slaying, he had taken down dozens, if not hundreds, yet not a single decent piece of equipment had dropped.
As he searched for new targets, Yi Tianchen suddenly froze and turned to look toward the entrance of the Gorge. Just moments ago, he thought he heard footsteps—could it be that someone had arrived at Ailan Gorge? This was truly unexpected for Yi Tianchen.
Without hesitation, once on high alert, Yi Tianchen moved like a startled rabbit, swiftly darting into a dense thicket at the base of the cliff. With the identity of this newcomer unknown—friend or foe—it was best to exercise caution until everything was clarified.
"Swish..."
"Rustling..."
