Hearing Bai Mo's question, Zuo Lin'an instinctively replied.
“Yes.”
Bai Mo asked, “Are you planning to go to Sin Hunter City?”
Zuo Lin'an nodded. “Yes, I'm already prepared.”
“It's just that the 【Wuxia World】 hasn't been completely assimilated yet. I'm a bit torn between staying here to keep opening the dungeon or going to Sin Hunter City first.”
“After all, it's still uncertain how much time it will take to acquire a second rule in Sin Hunter City. And once I have a second rule, the dungeon will definitely need to be upgraded.”
“When that time comes, the dungeon's range will expand, and I'll have to set up a clear storyline. I might even need to hire a construction team to make some necessary upgrades and renovations to my dungeon.”
“With all of these things lined up, it will easily take a month or two.”
Bai Mo didn't really care about any of this.
“You don't need to worry about the assimilation process of the 【Wuxia World】. Although you are a Human-Specter Symbiont-type dungeon boss, it's just a One-Star dungeon. Whether it exists or not doesn't make much of a difference.”
“I suggest you make the best use of your time to acquire a second rule right now, and then upgrade your dungeon.”
Zuo Lin'an was startled.
“But... under these special circumstances, all Daily Dungeons are forcefully opened every Monday. Is it really okay for me to do this?”
Bai Mo replied flatly, “It's fine. I'll grant you the authorization.”
Zuo Lin'an's eyes widened.
He already knew Bai Mo was incredibly powerful and held a high status, but he didn't expect him to have the authority to pull strings for him!
“Well... alright then.”
As expected, there was a privileged class everywhere.
In the past, he would have sneered at such things, but when he was the one with the privilege, it was a completely different story.
Having privileges was truly sweet.
Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he asked,
“Brother Bai, is this world...”
Bai Mo shook his head, not answering directly.
“Keep it to yourself. It's enough that you know.”
“Considering the timing, by the time you finish reorganizing your dungeon, it should be about time...”
Zuo Lin'an knew what Bai Mo left unsaid.
It would be about time to welcome the players from the new world.
“Understood.”
Seeing that he understood, Bai Mo said no more.
“Before you go to Sin Hunter City, go find your previous training instructor and have a good chat with him.”
An instructor from the training base?
The figure of Instructor An Wen immediately surfaced in his mind.
Could Brother Bai be referring to him?
Bai Mo explained briefly.
“The instructors at the training base are handpicked. They have been teaching for many years and have rich experience, so they can give you plenty of suitable advice.”
Zuo Lin'an naturally wouldn't object; he had planned to do so anyway.
“Thank you, Brother Bai.”
Bai Mo nodded, said nothing more, and turned to board the bus.
Zuo Lin'an watched as the bus doors closed and it slowly drove away. However, just as he was about to look away, he witnessed a rather bizarre scene.
He seemed to see Bai Mo step inside the bus, and then his entire figure vanished behind the window glass, as if he had left by passing through an invisible door.
“This...”
He blinked. Was this also one of Bai Mo's Rules?
Only after the bus had driven away and even the road extending along the ground had vanished did Feng Xingyun dare to speak.
“Young Master, that was...”
Zuo Lin'an thought for a moment. “Like me, he is also a dungeon boss.”
Feng Xingyun's eyes widened slightly.
If the other party was one too, then the gap between his young master and that man seemed a bit...
Zuo Lin'an didn't know what he was thinking and continued.
“Brother Bai has five rules. He is a Five-Star difficulty, maximum-difficulty dungeon boss. As for the endless prison you saw?”
“That is his Domain Rule.”
Recalling the boundless prison he had seen earlier, Feng Xingyun still felt deeply shaken. After all, it was his first time witnessing a Domain Rule.
Only now did he clearly realize that in front of a truly powerful dungeon boss, no matter how formidable their talents and specter items were, they as players were still utterly insignificant.
For the next while, he asked a few general questions about Domain Rules, and Zuo Lin'an didn't hide anything, sharing everything he knew.
Eventually, Feng Xingyun suddenly blurted out,
“Young Master, do you have a Domain Rule?”
Hearing this, Zuo Lin'an couldn't help but roll his eyes.
“A Domain Rule is an ultimate move. Only specters with four or five rules have a certain probability of possessing one. Why don't you think about it? How many rules do I have right now?”
Feng Xingyun fell silent.
Currently, Zuo Lin'an was a dungeon boss of a One-Star difficulty dungeon, which meant he only had one Death Rule.
“Then...”
Zuo Lin'an waved his hand.
“No need to say more.”
“My path has only just begun, and there's still plenty of time ahead.”
“Strength will come, and status will follow.”
“It will all come.”
“Growth takes time.”
Feng Xingyun nodded slowly, naturally understanding this logic.
“So now...”
Zuo Lin'an took out his work phone to check his messages.
Sure enough, the seventy-five Contribution points had been credited. His total Contribution points had now reached one hundred and nineteen.
“Now, I'm going to upgrade myself.”
Upgrade?
Feng Xingyun was relatively unfamiliar with this term, but from its literal meaning, he knew it should be similar to a martial artist raising their martial realm.
So, he was going to become stronger?
Without another word, Zuo Lin'an opened the system's mall and spent one hundred Contribution points to purchase the 【Sin Hunter City Entry Application】.
His Contribution points balance instantly dwindled to a pitiful nineteen.
He sighed softly. They really vanished quickly.
He unlocked the door and went inside.
He hadn't been back for several days, but the house was still quite clean.
“I'm going to my room. You should go get some rest too.”
Feng Xingyun replied, “Alright.”
Zuo Lin'an took out his phone and tapped on his chat with Bai Yuan.
【Zuo Lin'an: You there?】
Just after sending the message, he realized it was only two or three in the morning.
Zuo Lin'an sighed helplessly and closed his bedroom door behind him.
“What's wrong with me?”
“I always seem to contact people in the middle of the night.”
Fortunately, Bai Yuan wasn't asleep yet either.
【Bai Yuan: What's up? Did you wipe out the players?】
Zuo Lin'an briefly explained the dungeon's situation to him.
【Bai Yuan: Not bad. Have you saved up enough Contribution points to go to Sin Hunter City?】
【Zuo Lin'an: Yeah, I've already bought a city entry application. Once it's light out, I'll contact my former training instructor to discuss some preparations before entering the city.】
【Zuo Lin'an: By the way, I just saw your brother. He came over to recover the unsolvable specters.】
There was a pause on Bai Yuan's end.
【Bai Yuan: Really? My brother... what did he say to you?】
【Zuo Lin'an: Just chatted a bit. Also, after Brother Bai got on the bus earlier, he seemed to walk right into the window glass and just vanished. Is that his Rule?】
