Chapter 1 Nie Yan's Arrangements

Nie Yan arranged the matter with Ci Dao. Ci Dao lived about two hundred meters away from Nie Yan. If an emergency occurred, Ci Dao could arrive within two minutes with a phone call.

With a master like Ci Dao around, the safety of Nie Yan's family would be greatly ensured.

Nie Yan chatted with Ci Dao for a while. It turned out that Ci Dao had six brothers, who had come down from the battlefield with him. All six of them were injured, and two of them were infected with special bacteria. They needed a large amount of medicine every day to relieve the pain. To completely cure their illnesses would cost at least 500 million, and would require contacting specialized military doctors. Ci Dao could only earn commissions as a mercenary to buy medicine to help them survive. So far, they had basically given up hope, and Ci Dao could only do his best.

Nie Yan thought about whether he should help Ci Dao solve their problems in the future. If so, given Ci Dao's character, he would definitely repay Nie Yan with his life.

Ci Dao was a person who valued promises and loyalty!

This was what Nie Yan valued most!

After arranging this matter, Nie Yan returned home to find Xie Yao busy with something.

"I had my father order a game pod for me, what do you think?" Xie Yao said, pointing to the two game pods in the room.

Nie Yan looked over and saw that there was an extra game pod in his room. The two game pods were the same model, but the colors were slightly different, one silver-white and one light blue. The two game pods stood side by side against the wall.

When game pods were placed together, they could be connected, and whatever happened to the player in the adjacent game pod could be immediately fed back to the player in the other game pod.

"Not bad, it's much more convenient to have two game pods," Nie Yan said with a smile. This way, he would be able to know some of Xie Yao's movements.

Xie Yao smiled and said, "This way we can contact each other more often."

If two game pods were together, even if one party was in a communication-isolated location, they could still contact each other using external communication devices.

"How are your quests going?" Nie Yan asked. He was ashamed to say that he had been busy with his own affairs and the matters of the Ni Ren Tribe, and had not asked about Xie Yao's situation.

"The third part of 'Kals' Blessing' is too difficult, it requires a slightly higher level to do. You previously sent a list of quest trigger locations for collecting sub-legendary and legendary equipment to the Ni Ren Tribe players. I triggered the quest for the 'Saintess Christina's Set', and I've already started it. I'm going to another city tomorrow," Xie Yao said. She was a little surprised when she received this list. Where did Nie Yan get this list from? It was densely packed with two or three hundred quest trigger points, all information that couldn't be found on the official website. If the top players of the Ni Ren Tribe could collect the sub-legendary and legendary equipment from these places, the Ni Ren Tribe players would become a group that other guilds would tremble before. This powerful equipment would help them reach the peak!

To recall the trigger points for these equipment, Nie Yan had killed a lot of brain cells. The memories of his past life were recalled bit by bit. For some of the more vague impressions, he could only record a rough outline and let the Ni Ren Tribe players find them themselves.

In his previous life, what players talked about most was equipment. Whose equipment was strong, where they got it from, whose equipment was sub-legendary, how much it was worth, its history, its origins, and so on. Nie Yan had worked as a mercenary and often went to dungeons with many teams. He had heard about many things. Occasionally, he would also go to the official website to look at the equipment posted by players, most of which were already bound sub-legendary and legendary items. After they posted them, they didn't have to worry about them being dropped. The attributes of each piece of equipment could be said to be shocking. These equipment's powerful attributes could greatly satisfy the vanity of the holder, and they would introduce the origins and history of these equipment.

In his previous life, Nie Yan could only envy the equipment posted by these people. In this life, the situation was different. He finally had the ability to collect these equipment!

Nie Yan didn't expect the Ni Ren Tribe players to find all of these equipment. As long as they found one-tenth of them, it would allow the strength of the top players of the Ni Ren Tribe to soar, and in turn influence the entire Ni Ren Tribe.

Christina was one of the divine equipment series in his previous life. The last two Boss-level monsters required summoning thousands of powerful teammates to kill, and it was one of the most difficult divine equipment sets to collect. In his previous life, a famous female Holy Word Mage, Mo Dao Shi Yi Ye Qiu Min, had only collected three pieces. She found it very difficult to do the subsequent parts, but at the time, she was also a top-level existence. Three pieces of legendary equipment were not to be trifled with. If she had collected the entire set, it would have been even more extraordinary. She had also posted the later quest stages of Christina, and this powerful divine equipment set that could not be completed became her eternal regret.

Nie Yan didn't expect Xie Yao to choose this quest. For the last two stages, he could summon the Ni Ren Tribe players to help Xie Yao do them, but for the previous stages, Xie Yao could only find her own way, and they couldn't help much.

"Keep it up, and strive to find the complete Christina set," Nie Yan encouraged Xie Yao. That divine equipment set was a very difficult challenge for Xie Yao.

"Yeah, Nie Yan, you have to work hard too. I know you're tired, and you have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders. Everyone in the Ni Ren Tribe is watching you. I'll take good care of myself in the game. I hope to share some of the burden for you, but unfortunately, there are many things I can't do," Xie Yao said apologetically.

Xie Yao believed that Nie Yan was searching for a large amount of equipment and items every day, strengthening himself and the Ni Ren Tribe, while also looking for money everywhere to provide funds for the Ni Ren Tribe. It was not easy. Although the Ni Ren Tribe had gathered a large number of elites, those elites had not yet truly grown up. Like the Mage Alliance, Zhan Dao Shi Xue, and Angel Domination, their development was not achieved overnight. These guilds had existed for five or six years or more, and some had even existed for more than ten years. They had gathered a large group of loyal fans and supporters in various virtual games. Once the faith was opened, they would enter collectively. Before long, their guilds would be established, and they would begin to expand their influence and recruit people frantically. The Ni Ren Tribe was established a long time after the game started, its foundation was not solid, and it had been fighting continuously. If it wasn't for Nie Yan's strong support, the Ni Ren Tribe would have collapsed long ago. It was not until the Ni Ren Tribe unified Kalore City that the Ni Ren Tribe embarked on a normal path of development, and the elites of the Ni Ren Tribe had a relatively stable development environment.

It was no exaggeration to say that the Ni Ren Tribe was supported by Nie Yan alone. Of course, Guo Huai's management team also played a big role, but Nie Yan was crucial. Whether it was the Molten Forest at the beginning or the later Battle of the Krips Fortress, the Ni Ren Tribe almost suffered a devastating disaster, but Nie Yan turned the tide, which led to the Ni Ren Tribe of today. What Nie Yan had done was conceivable.

"It's okay, I'm not very busy. I just grind monsters every day, get some equipment, occasionally fight a few battles, and go back and forth from the underground a few times," Nie Yan said with a smile. It was a pity that he didn't have enough time. If he had enough time, he could do a lot of things. His time was still relatively tight, but it wasn't as exaggerated as Xie Yao said.

Nie Yan said it so easily, but Xie Yao refused to believe it. Nie Yan had done so many things, and everyone in the Ni Ren Tribe had seen it. No one would believe it if Nie Yan said he wasn't busy at all.

Seeing Xie Yao's expression, Nie Yan knew that he couldn't explain it no matter what. He looked at the time and said, "It's time to enter the game."

"Yeah," Xie Yao responded.

The two entered the game. When they entered the game, Nie Yan received a system notification.

System: Player Yao Yao has entered the game.

Xie Yao's game entry information was automatically sent to Nie Yan.

Nie Yan smiled slightly, feeling a warm sense of contentment in his heart, because he knew that Xie Yao was by his side.

Nie Yan summoned the Faulkner Warhorse and headed towards the Hilton Fortress, galloping across the open grassland.

After about twenty minutes, Nie Yan received a message from Guo Huai that Wang Zhe Tian Xia had applied to join the Ni Ren Tribe. From then on, there was another Wang Zhe Tian Xia on the list of strong players in the Ni Ren Tribe.

Nie Yan sent a message to Wang Zhe Tian Xia.

"If you have time, go to dungeons with them, I'll introduce you to a team," Nie Yan said. Wang Zhe Tian Xia had just arrived and was not familiar with the Ni Ren Tribe players, so he could slowly integrate into the Ni Ren Tribe collective in the future.

"I'm not interested in going to dungeons or joining a team," Wang Zhe Tian Xia said.

Nie Yan thought that was right. In his previous life, Wang Zhe Tian Xia had always been used to traveling alone. Although his brothers were still quite strong, they couldn't keep up with his pace at all.

"Then forget it, let's do a quest together sometime," Nie Yan said. He had to find some reason for such a master to stay in the Ni Ren Tribe willingly.

Wang Zhe Tian Xia was silent for a moment and said, "My brothers have already moved into the villa in Bishui Yunjian... thank you."

Wang Zhe Tian Xia seemed a little stiff when he said the word "thank you". He had never thanked anyone before, and Nie Yan was the first.

Nie Yan smiled and said, "This is a clause in our employment agreement, you don't have to thank me."

"According to the agreement, from now on, Ci Dao and Wang Zhe Tian Xia are your shadows. If you need anything, just tell us. This is our obligation as mercenaries," Wang Zhe Tian Xia said. His words were straightforward enough. Nie Yan gave money, and he did things.

Shadow, shadow, Nie Yan murmured the word. Ci Dao had made his obligations clear. What Nie Yan needed was a shadow, wasn't it? There were many things that Nie Yan didn't have time to do, and the shadow could help him do them. There were some things he couldn't do, and the shadow could do them for him!

~~I have some urgent matters for the next three days, and I'm out of town. I won't be able to get back until tomorrow evening, and I probably won't be able to resume normal updates until the day after tomorrow.
