Bai Ye said, "Then let's go."
Actually, the current virtual game forbidden zone wasn't too brutal, as there were only the Cang Long Guild and the Evil Spirit Gang.
Anyone who had played the game understood the reason.
The resources within the game were limited and often controlled by fewer players than the total number of players.
This meant that limited resources needed to be fought over, and players had to kill each other.
However, a game was still a game; you could revive after dying. But here, death was real.
With only the Cang Long Guild and the Evil Spirit Gang present, the resources couldn't be monopolized, and there was more than enough to go around. This was why Gao Ming had initially wanted to seek peace.
But the Cang Long Guild refused. In their eyes, the members of the Evil Spirit Gang were also resources, resources called: Divine Stone Fragments.
Speaking of Divine Stone Fragments, Bai Ye glanced at the screen. After defeating several members of the Cang Long Guild, Bai Ye's Divine Stone Fragments reached one hundred and one. Ninety-nine Divine Stone Fragments could be converted into one Divine Stone.
However, Bai Ye thought about it and decided against it.
He needed to consume Divine Stone Fragments daily to draw from the gacha, and his magic incantations also consumed Divine Stone Fragments.
If he converted all his Divine Stone Fragments now, what would he do if he ran out later?
On the other hand, while Divine Stone Fragments were important, they weren't that crucial for top-tier experts.
Of course, top-tier experts other than Bai Ye were definitely still keeping a close eye on Divine Stone Fragments, as, in everyone's eyes, these fragments were the hope of leaving the World Battlefield.
Bai Ye had been the same in his previous life, but precisely because of his past life, Bai Ye was now relatively indifferent to the matter of accumulating Divine Stone Fragments.
The reason was simple:
The Central Region War!
In his previous life, Bai Ye had accumulated enough Divine Stones before the Central Region War began. After the war concluded, Bai Ye had three excess Divine Stones.
That war was incredibly fierce, with countless casualties and fallen experts, their corpses littering the ground.
Having fought his way through that war, Bai Ye had naturally stained his hands with much blood, and those extra three Divine Stones were the best proof.
Although this time, with the clue of the Divine Disciple.
The Central Region might still need to be explored, and the Divine Tower might still need to be visited. The Central Region War would still break out, and then he could harvest a large number of Divine Stone Fragments.
Therefore, Bai Ye felt there was no need to be so serious about Divine Stone Fragments.
Of course, he couldn't completely ignore it. Although the Central Region War was an opportunity to harvest Divine Stones, it wouldn't be enough to gather all the Divine Stones needed on its own.
So, after some thought, Bai Ye decided it wasn't urgent to convert Divine Stone Fragments into Divine Stones. He could wait until he had accumulated more for daily use before converting them.
At this moment, Liang Jie called out to Gao Ming and Bai Ye, "We're here. General Dong is just ahead."
"Let's go. What are you looking at me for?" Bai Ye said, "I'll deal with the Cang Long Guild. Do I have to go up for killing a Boss now?"
Gao Ming said, "What are you waiting for? Form up, let's go."
The others didn't pay much attention, only thinking that Bai Ye's involvement would resolve things faster. If Bai Ye didn't intend to act, they could handle it themselves.
After all, if they didn't have the strength to farm Bosses, they wouldn't be in the virtual world forbidden zone. It would be a waste if the Cang Long Guild wasn't there.
The Evil Spirit Gang members began to group up and farm the Boss. After watching for a while, Bai Ye said, "You guys actually have some individual strength, but your team coordination is truly terrible."
Gao Ming nodded and said, "We'll pay more attention to this aspect later, selecting some people for long-term team formation and specialized coordination training."
Bai Ye nodded, then said, "By the way, help me investigate something. No, forget it."
"Don't!" Gao Ming immediately said, "Tell me what it is. Given our relationship, whether we can find it or not is another matter, but we'll definitely try our best to help you."
Gao Ming appeared very enthusiastic at this moment.
Gao Ming knew Bai Ye was strong because they had a minor conflict and he had seen Bai Ye in action.
But he didn't know how strong Bai Ye truly was, because Bai Ye had clearly not been serious back then, and all the members of the Evil Spirit Gang had been taken down.
Therefore, seeing Bai Ye act again, Gao Ming was still shocked.
This shock brought about the emotion that Gao Ming once again wanted to recruit Bai Ye into the Evil Spirit Gang.
If his previous attempt to recruit Bai Ye was mainly because Bai Ye could bring growth opportunities to the Evil Spirit Gang, due to Bai Ye possessing intelligence about various forbidden zones.
Then, this time, Gao Ming wanted to recruit Bai Ye into the Evil Spirit Gang purely because of Bai Ye's strength.
As long as Bai Ye was willing to join the Evil Spirit Gang, he would undoubtedly be the strongest expert in the gang.
The leader, Statham, was also looking for experts to form the Twelve Evil Spirits, emulating the elite group of the Cang Long Guild. Gao Ming believed that if Bai Ye was willing, he could definitely become the First Evil Spirit.
In fact, Bai Ye could remain the First Evil Spirit indefinitely, becoming the most formidable fighter in the Evil Spirit Gang.
However, Bai Ye had clearly refused Gao Ming before, so Gao Ming felt that even with an additional reason to recruit Bai Ye, it wouldn't be of much use.
Bai Ye was unwilling, and they couldn't force him.
But Gao Ming believed they could maintain a good relationship with Bai Ye and deepen it. Perhaps one day Bai Ye would be moved by this enthusiasm and be willing to join the Evil Spirit Gang.
Given Bai Ye's strength, no matter how many resources the Evil Spirit Gang allocated to him, it would be a very worthwhile investment.
"No, I just feel that it might not be easy to investigate this matter specifically," Bai Ye said. "Do you know Penglai, Fanghu, and Yingzhou?"
Gao Ming smiled and said, "Yes, the three immortal islands. In my world, these three places exist, but they are just ordinary tourist attractions. However, in the World Battlefield, these three places are sacred sites in the hearts of those from the cultivation world..."
Bai Ye interrupted, "No, I'm not referring to the three immortal islands of the cultivation world?"
Gao Ming was stunned, "Ah?"
Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how to explain it. To put it simply, I'm looking for these three places, but not the three immortal islands in the Xianxia region, but rather to find if these three places exist in other regions."
The statement was a bit convoluted, and Bai Ye felt helpless.
Li Jiayi, that scoundrel, hadn't explained clearly, so Bai Ye could only speak unclearly. As long as Gao Ming could vaguely understand what he meant, it would be fine.
Bai Ye said, "I don't think it's easy to investigate this deliberately. You have more people, spread across various regions. So, if you find these three places in non-Xianxia regions, notify me."
"Okay," Gao Ming nodded. "I know where Fanghu is."
