Chapter 12: Traces of an Enemy
[Dancing Moon with the Wind]: Alright... Great God, then 2 million it is.
After sending that message, Shen Shuyi was just about to ask Xiao Wen for his bank card number.
However, before Shen Shuyi could send that message, she saw a mailbox notification.
Ding! You have received an email. Please check it promptly.
The notification sounded, and Shen Shuyi froze. Almost instinctively, she opened her mailbox and accepted the attachment automatically. Then...
Ding! You have obtained 2,000,000 Ingots. They have been automatically deposited into your account.
The crisp sound spread through the game. In that instant, the entire game livestream fell into dead silence.
The comments were completely cleared, as though the stream had crashed.
Immediately afterward came a wave of shocked exclamations from the crowd of onlookers.
[Oh my god, am I seeing things? Why are there six zeroes?]
[So this guy isn't a company shill. He's a real whale?]
[Boss, just accept him already. From now on, he'll be our top supporter!]
[Big Brother is too domineering!]
[Inhumanly rich!]
...
A long stream of comments flashed past, but Shen Shuyi no longer cared about them.
[Dancing Moon with the Wind]: You just sent me the Ingots? But I haven't transferred the money to you yet.
[Half-Journey Through the Mortal World]: I trust you.
Although it was only three words, they made Shen Shuyi feel warm inside. It was a form of trust, one that unintentionally landed on a woman's heart and stirred it slightly.
Immediately afterward, Shen Shuyi sent Xiao Wen a message asking for his bank card number, then quickly transferred the money to him.
Two million was basically equivalent to most of her life savings.
However, all of this was worth it. After all, this newly emerging game was extremely popular. As long as she could keep going, perhaps she could quickly rise to the top and become the number one female streamer.
By then, a mere two million would be nothing but pocket change!
After that round of shock, Xiao Wen simply taught her some experience, such as how the large flag at the entrance of a Level 2 Village could be chopped down, and how it could be used to smoothly pull aggro and draw enemy soldiers away.
For example, during battle, there was no need to always fight head-on. She could choose to recruit some archers, rely on a reasonable troop composition, and combine it with terrain usage to kill enemies.
Another example was how she could exploit some common terrain bugs to reduce the number of enemies she had to fight directly.
There was also the method of pulling monsters in small groups, dividing and devouring them, slowly gnawing away at a Level 2 Village bit by bit.
...
When all this experience came from Xiao Wen's mouth, Shen Shuyi was immediately shocked.
From beginning to end, she had never realized that there were so many shortcuts in this game.
She repeatedly exclaimed that she had learned something.
Even most of the viewers in the livestream turned from haters to fans, or from passersby to fans, shouting that the Great God was amazing.
They hurriedly copied and pasted the messages Xiao Wen sent and added them to their favorites.
After finishing his guidance for Shen Shuyi, Xiao Wen returned to his own territory, replenished his troops, constructed buildings, and also arranged for Ma Chao to lead the wounded soldiers to rest while recruiting soldiers to refill his forces.
He put the construction of several important buildings on the schedule, bought speed-up cards to rush construction, continuously built structures, improved basic functions, and strengthened the foundation of his territory.
After half a day, all the necessary buildings had been completed.
Xiao Wen once again set out from his territory with Ma Chao and three hundred soldiers, heading toward the remaining four Level 3 Villages.
Speed was the essence of war. The same principle applied in the game. Only by seizing the time and rapidly occupying villages could he establish a county city sooner. One step ahead meant every step ahead. That was exactly what this meant.
However, when Xiao Wen was heading toward the first village he had marked, something unexpected happened.
Halfway there, he encountered another team of players.
Judging from their marching direction, this group's destination was the same Level 3 Village as his own target.
Interesting!
Someone had already started targeting Level 3 Villages?
It seemed that those hidden experts from the game in his previous life were also beginning to surface accordingly.
Xiao Wen muttered to himself, but his expression remained calm as he ordered Ma Chao to speed up the march.
He wanted to see who exactly dared to snatch the target he had chosen.
Screw him!
As the thought flashed through Xiao Wen's mind, his soldiers accelerated their march. However, the marching speed of the player team ahead suddenly slowed a little. Then, he saw one player bringing a general over from nearby.
"Great God! You're Great God Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, right? I never expected I'd actually be lucky enough to see you in person. This is really too exciting. Great God, can I take a photo with you?"
Not far away, the player ran over, acting as if they were already familiar. Although there was still some distance between them, he had already begun greeting Xiao Wen early on.
This was also to prove that he was friendly and bore no hostility.
Hearing the shout, Xiao Wen was first stunned. Then his gaze landed on that player.
The moment Xiao Wen saw the player, his expression instantly darkened.
Game ID: Ghostly Hard to Find?
It was that guy!
Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes. The moment he saw this game ID, he recognized the person's identity.
In his previous life, he had been extremely familiar with this person.
He was the lackey of his enemy, Wang Heng. His real name was Tang Luoyi.
At the same time, he was also a member of Dongning Pavilion, one of Jiuzhou's three great guilds.
He never expected this guy's starting faction to be the same as his, in Western Liang.
Enemies really did meet on a narrow road!
Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes, pondering whether he should find an excuse to chop him down or keep this brat alive in order to get close to Wang Heng.
After all, compared to this little appetizer, killing Wang Heng was far more important.
The thought flashed through his mind. Before Xiao Wen could decide, he saw the guy walk over with a burly general holding twin axes.
Xiao Wen's gaze landed on that general.
General: Niu Jin
Gender: Male
Grade: Famous Historical Figure (Tier 3)
Level: 7
Talent Attributes: ???
The information appeared. Xiao Wen raised his brows slightly, his gaze falling on Niu Jin. But after only a glance, he withdrew his gaze.
"You are..." Xiao Wen looked at Tang Luoyi, a puzzled expression appearing on his face.
"Great God, I'm your little fanboy. I heard all those announcements earlier. Great God, are you planning to attack a Level 3 Village? If possible, can I go with you?"
"Whether we attack the village or not doesn't matter. Mainly, I just want to see your heroic bearing when you make a move!"
Tang Luoyi looked at Xiao Wen, his eyes filled with hope.
As he said those words, his steps moved a little closer to Xiao Wen without any change in expression.
If it were someone else, perhaps they would not have noticed such a small movement.
But who was Xiao Wen?
In his previous life, he had been only one step away from the Ninth-grade Realm.
Even though he had been reborn, the vigilance he should have had had never decreased.
Taking Tang Luoyi's movement into his eyes, Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes, cold light appearing in them.
This guy wanted to kill him!
