To the north of Iron Skull City, there was a barren land.

This was the camp of the Dark faction, so there should not be any players here.

However, the strange thing was that there were not only players here, but there were also a lot of them, like a small main city.

It was also because of the increase in players that this place was determined by the system to be the hidden main city of the Dark faction—Blood Shadow City.

As for why these players were here?

That was because they had betrayed the Order faction and become players of the Dark faction.

In the eyes of the players, there was no justice or evil in this world.

That was just an interesting background story.

What happened inside had nothing to do with the players. The only thing that mattered was their own benefits.

If they could level up faster and become stronger in the Dark faction, the players would swarm in.

They did not find it shameful.

On the contrary, they were very proud when their levels increased faster.

While Iron Skull City triggered a large-scale event mission, the dark forces in Blood Shadow City also issued a mission.

That was to hunt the players from the Order faction!

The more players killed, the greater the reward.

Therefore, the guilds of Blood Shadow City were all restless.

For example, the Netherworld Guild!

It was one of the top guilds in Blood Shadow City.

At this moment, a cold youth was using the edge of his sword to kill a monster while listening to the information of his subordinates.

"President, according to our intelligence agents in Iron Skull City, the guilds in the city have gathered a large number of people and are rushing to the ruins of the war tonight!" A player reported.

"What about the Fire Beacon Guild and the Thunder God Guild?"

"They left an hour ago."

"How many people are there in Iron Skull City?"

"There are more than 100,000 players from dozens of guilds and some solo players."

"Very good. Looks like we can take action now."

The corners of the young man's mouth curled up into a cruel smile as he ordered, "Immediately pass the order down. Merge with the other guilds of the Dark faction to use the information advantage and geographical environment to wipe out all the players of the Order faction in the war ruins!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the player prepared to leave.

"Wait…" The dark youth stopped him and asked, "Is there news of Tyrant?"

"When our intelligence officers last saw him, he entered the City Lord's area. We haven't seen him since."

"Continue lurking. Report immediately if you have any news about him."

"Yes."

The subordinate player left.

The cold youth revealed a cruel smile, "Wait for me, Tyrant. Your divine equipment is mine!"

...

On the second day, Lorne woke up very early. He wore a simple set of casual clothes and headed to the hospital where his sister was staying.

Due to the money he had made recently, Lorne moved his sister to a higher care unit.

Not only was there a more functional cryo chamber here, but there were also more accurate medical equipment and 24-hour medical staff.

Due to the fact that his sister, Roanna, was sick, it was relatively troublesome to move her. It took several days to adjust all the equipment until today.

In the hospital, Lorne walked into the nursing room in a special suit. He looked at the weak girl lying in the cryo chamber and could not help but clench his hands.

Unknowingly, three years had passed.

Roanna lay there in the cold cabin for three years.

Looking at her thin figure, Lorne felt his heart ache.

Lorne sat beside her and said, "You'll definitely recover!"

He wanted to stay by his sister's side forever, but he had to hurry. He could not let anyone surpass him in the game.

If he wanted to earn enough money, he had to ensure that he had strength that surpassed everyone in the world.

In order to let Roanna enjoy the best treatment in the world, he had to make himself work harder. He had to plan every day for the maximum gains.

Therefore, at noon, he left the hospital reluctantly.

By the time Lorne returned home, it was already past 4pm.

"Looks like I have to move to the Energy Zone first."

The poor people needed to be notified in advance to enter the Energy Zone. They could only enter after passing the approval of many departments, but they could not act freely.

It was also because of the complicated inspection that Lorne had to spend most of the day on it.

But if he were a citizen of the Energy Zone, he would not have to do these checks, and Lorne would have had more time to work on the game.

"It will cost a few million dollars to enter the Energy Zone and become a real citizen…"

The most basic requirement to become a citizen of the Energy Zone was that one needed an ID card.

He needed to buy this, and he might not even be able to buy it.

Because the population of the Energy Zone was fixed, a low-level Energy Zone could only accommodate 500,000 people.

Therefore, the mission of buying the identity card of the Energy Zone required luck.

Or if one had enough money, they could also access a special channel and have a higher chance of obtaining the identity than others.

Coupled with other expenses, it would cost at least three million alliance dollars, or even more.

"I'll wait until I earn another five million before doing this."

Lorne set himself a small goal.

Five million was a huge amount for ordinary people.

But for the current Lorne, this was not a difficult goal.

...

Soon, it was night time.

Lorne put on his helmet and logged into the game.

Swish!

With a flash of light, Lorne arrived at the familiar Iron Skull City.

Because he had logged off here, he was still in the hall of the holy temple.

However, at this moment, Lorne had already discovered that the Night Elf was no longer in the cradle, but in his pet space.

Lorne summoned her.

She was a very petite fairy maiden with pointed ears, exquisite facial features, skin like the moonlight, and long silver hair.

It was no wonder that Mayra had specially reminded him that it was indeed difficult to keep his control against such a perfect elf girl.

However, Lorne was not shameless enough to take advantage of her.

Even if he wanted to do something, it was best to confirm that the other party had self-awareness. Otherwise, it would be no different from a silicon doll.

This was a very vivid analogy.

Because there was no soul, the elven girl looked very dull, like a soulless shell.

From the looks of it, he had to completely merge her with the crystal heart to obtain her consciousness.

Lorne looked at the conditions for the merging.

Every 10,000 experience points increased the fusion rate by 1%.

In other words, to completely merge, Lorne needed to give Aisha 1 million experience points.

This was not a small project that could be completed in a few days.

It just so happened that he was going to the ruins of the war this time. While completing the mission, he could also obtain experience points by killing monsters.

It was killing two birds with one stone.

With that in mind, Lorne put Aisha back into the pet space and left the hall.
