Chapter 185 Father's Support

Nie Yan was walking towards his room when he heard the sound of cars outside the villa. His parents were back. He didn't dare to act recklessly at this time, so he told Xie Yao to return to her room and get dressed.

Outside, people were moving things in and out, large objects that seemed to be household appliances.

"My uncle is back. Should I go and meet him?" Xie Yao asked, feeling a little flustered. The thought of meeting Nie Yan's father made her feel apprehensive.

Nie Yan thought for a moment and said, "No, it's not the right time yet. It needs to be kept secret that you're staying at our house. It's not good if too many people know. We wouldn't be able to explain the situation to my father."

Xie Yao nodded. She didn't want Nie Yan's father to think she was frivolous for moving into his house without his permission.

Nie Yan knew that now was not the time to "eat" Xie Yao. (implying consummating their relationship)

"I'll go see my father. You stay here for now," Nie Yan said, settling Xie Yao in before heading towards the living room.

The living room was filled with employees bustling around, placing various instruments in the villa.

"What are these for?" Nie Yan asked his father, looking at the strange instruments.

Nie's father narrowed his eyes and sized up Nie Yan before smiling. "These are security measures to improve the villa's safety."

"Oh," Nie Yan nodded. He sensed a special meaning in his father's smile.

"Recently, the company signed several major deals and started cooperating with the Longyue Consortium and Zhengrong Consortium. The Zhengrong Consortium decided to enter Faith and cooperate with us to support the War God Tribe. They are very optimistic about the War God Tribe's future development," Nie's father said with a smile.

Hearing Nie's father's words, Nie Yan immediately thought of Xie Jun. It seemed that this was all Xie Jun's doing. The Nirvana Group had only just risen and was not on the same level as the Zhengrong Consortium or the Longyue Consortium. The Zhengrong Consortium might not even think much of the Nirvana Group, but deciding to support the War God Tribe was a great honor for the Nirvana Group.

"Of course, we can't lose our momentum either. You're my son. No matter what, your dad will always be your solid backing. Go ahead and fight with confidence. If the sky falls, your old man will hold it up. I know everything you said to the Xie family at the Moro River Hotel. You spoke very well. We can't let others look down on us," Nie's father said with a hearty laugh.

Nie Yan understood his father's meaning. His father must have gotten some information about Xie Yao from Xie Jun. Nie Yan was very touched by his father's words.

"I'll have her come and meet you," Nie Yan said.

"No need. It's not the time to meet her yet. I sent people to investigate, and the Xie family's daughter is good. I'm very satisfied. You're a capable kid," Nie's father said with a laugh, patting Nie Yan on the shoulder.

The cooperation between the Zhengrong Consortium and the Nie family undoubtedly gave the Nie family a great opportunity for development.

However, judging from his father's tone, he would not compromise simply because the Zhengrong Consortium was strong. Respect is given by others, but honor is earned by oneself. The Nirvana Group cannot rely on charity from others. It must truly become strong!

Nie Yan wanted to make the Nie family a true consortium, at least not inferior to the Longyue Consortium and the Zhengrong Consortium. As for the Century Financial Group, he had to face it, no matter what method he used, as long as he could bring down the Century Financial Group.

Nie's father had people install strict security measures in the villa. After everything was completed, he left to go to the company, where he had to stay that night.

Nie Yan and Xie Yao had dinner, and the two re-entered the game.

Nie Yan appeared in Calore City. He had some arrangements for the upcoming activities, entrusting Zhai Hao, Li Rui, Liu Chenxu, and others to Brilliant Knife Edge, Watersmell, and others. They would often take newbies to dungeons in their spare time. Generally, clearing an ordinary dungeon would only take them one or two hours, and they could clear it several times.

Xie Yao returned to the city to replenish some consumables. She was preparing to go to the City of Elements, Kavodien, to continue her quest for the legendary set.

Nie Yan and Xie Yao met near the Starry Night Potion Shop. At this time, Xie Yao was wearing a set of blue and white Saintly Word mage robes, holding a staff inlaid with sapphires in her hand. The blue light of the staff shone on her face, making her look extraordinarily delicate and lovely.

"Nie Yan, I'm going to the City of Elements, Kavodien, to do a quest. I estimate I won't be back for two or three days," Xie Yao said.

"The City of Elements, Kavodien?" Nie Yan thought for a moment. It seemed that there were several newly developed small guilds in the City of Elements, Kavodien, and no powerful guild had unified the city, so it was relatively chaotic.

"Yes, is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Xie Yao asked. When moving around in other cities, she had to avoid some enemies to avoid causing trouble for the Mad Rogue Alliance.

"Not really. Take these scrolls with you. They should be useful at critical moments. Here are also a few gems that increase Saintly Word spell damage. Take them and embed them in your equipment," Nie Yan said, trading some scrolls to Xie Yao and giving her some high-level gems specifically for crafting equipment.

"Okay," Xie Yao nodded, confirming the trade.

She looked at the scrolls Nie Yan gave her. There were more than twenty of them, all very useful.

"Then I'm leaving," Xie Yao said, looking at Nie Yan.

"Have a safe trip!" Nie Yan kissed Xie Yao's forehead.

Watching Xie Yao leave, Nie Yan thought for a moment that he should get busy as well. For the sake of Shadow Dance, he had to break through to the Shadow Dance class before the other players caught up and become someone they could never reach.

Nie Yan thought of an item, the javelin launcher, which was sold by High Inquisitor Coston. In his previous life, High Inquisitor Coston was a familiar figure to players who liked to grind ranks. When players' ranks reached a certain level, they were qualified to buy some equipment from High Inquisitor Coston, who sold all kinds of standard weapons and equipment. For example, after being promoted to Centurion, they could go there to buy Centurion equipment of various levels, which were relatively cheap. Generally, a good gold or dark gold equipment only cost a dozen gold coins, but these equipment were bound after purchase and could not be traded to others. If they didn't want to wear it anymore, they could only sell it back to High Inquisitor Coston, and of course, they could only sell it back for a few gold coins.

If they were promoted to High Inquisitor or Grand Inquisitor, they could even buy sub-legendary and legendary equipment.

In his previous life, Nie Yan's rank had reached Chief Commander, but he could never reach High Inquisitor. It was too difficult and simply inhuman. Chief Commander was relatively easy to reach. Under normal circumstances, honor points dropped relatively slowly and accumulated more and more until they reached Chief Commander. It was a little different to advance from Chief Commander to High Inquisitor. It was stipulated that they had to kill a certain number of players from the opposing faction every few days, otherwise their honor points would drop sharply. Sometimes, when they were close to High Inquisitor, their honor points would drop back to their original level after not killing anyone for several days. In his previous life, there were not a few players who dropped from High Inquisitor back to Chief Commander.

After reaching Chief Commander, they could buy some relatively good equipment from High Inquisitor Coston. There were all kinds of equipment, covering all levels. The best they could buy was dark gold equipment. This javelin launcher was one of them.

The javelin launcher was a well-known high-attack throwing weapon. Generally, when used on the battlefield, the maximum throwing distance could reach about two hundred yards. Chief Commander-level warriors and thieves could use them to deal with mages, which was a relatively good thing. The attack was much higher than ordinary crossbow bolts. This thing was limited to Chief Commander-level users. The only disadvantage of the javelin was that it was easy to dodge, and the hit rate was very low, but sometimes it was good for grinding monsters.

Nie Yan walked towards the Holy See. After a while, he saw High Inquisitor Coston. Coston was a tall paladin, looking very young, exactly like the image in his previous life.

"Respected Mr. Nie Yan, what do you need?" High Inquisitor Coston greeted after seeing Nie Yan.

"I need to buy some equipment," Nie Yan said.

A list of items appeared in front of Nie Yan, listing all kinds of equipment, which was dazzling. He first selected the Chief Commander item, and a row of equipment options appeared, including gauntlets, leggings, leather armor, weapons, and so on.

Nie Yan selected the ranged weapon item, and then entered the javelin launcher page.

There were dozens of javelin launchers listed above, from level 10 to level 200. There was a javelin launcher every ten levels. Nie Yan looked at the attributes of the level 100 javelin launcher. The level 100 javelin launcher was dark gold equipment with a throwing attack of 3200 and an attack interval of five seconds, while the level 90 javelin launcher only had an attack of 1800, which was much worse.

A javelin launcher could be inlaid with two gems.

Nie Yan looked at the price of the javelin launcher, 210 gold coins. Such a price was really nothing for a level 100 dark gold ranged weapon.

Nie Yan bought one without hesitation. He looked at the javelin launcher in his hand. It was a cylindrical object with complex mechanical springs. This was the masterpiece of mechanics. This small thing could make the javelin's launch distance reach a full 200 yards!

In addition to the javelin launcher, Nie Yan looked at the javelins sold below, which were divided into five levels. The cheapest only cost fifty copper coins each, but they were ordinary javelins without any additional attack. The most expensive cost two gold coins each, with a 30% attack increase.

Nie Yan bought one hundred and fifty sets without batting an eye, for a total of three thousand javelins, spending six thousand gold coins. These things would be very useful next!
