Chapter 1015: Chapter 742: What to Drink? Off to Practice

Even when the girl beside him looked at him with eyes full of admiration, and even seemingly embraced those outdated, imaginative trends, Zheng Yichen immediately shook his head: "No, I wasn’t thinking that much at the time."

As for the girl beside him and her wild imagination, let’s just drop it. He really hadn’t thought about that before, and there was no need to acknowledge it now. Just explain the situation plainly.

There’s no need for pretense among ourselves. Overthinking can lead to trouble.

"Ah?" Qi Xiangyun was momentarily stunned by Zheng Yichen’s straightforward denial: "Oh, is that so?"

"I’ve encountered the Devouring Faction before, and I didn’t have this so-called ’Eyes’ at that time, but didn’t I still repel them?"

"I see." Qi Xiangyun no longer dwelled on the topic, as Zheng Yichen put it clearly. She understood the situation: Zheng Yichen simply did not need to worry about the influence of the environment’s energy being vacuumed away.

In such circumstances, he could still exert sufficient combat power, so naturally, he had no need to consider other means to compensate for any deficiencies in strength.

One only thinks about getting what’s needed when it’s necessary. Why would someone without needs bother with so much?

At Du Gang’s home, the hearty laughter of the robust man rang out from outside the door.

"Hahahaha, I’ve already arranged the accommodations."

Previously, Zheng Yichen came alone, but now he had joined other Dusk mercenaries here. He directly settled them in another place and went to a pre-booked restaurant for dinner.

Compared to Zheng Yichen’s sudden previous arrival, Du Gang was well-prepared this time.

"These Devourers are just unlucky to have bumped into my turf." Inside the restaurant, Du Gang ended the small talk after serving the dishes and began formal conversation.

If both Proxy Agents were in this world, what chance did these Devourers have to conquer it? Furthermore, Du Gang was planning something more thrilling: "I want to take this opportunity to launch a counter-attack into the Devourers’ world."

"We can give it a try."

"Brother Chang Qing..." Qi Xiangyun managed to stifle her eye-rolling impulse as Zheng Yichen responded so readily. The Proxy Agent they knew as Du Gang was clearly discussing plans.

And just like that, Zheng Yichen is on board?

"I’ve already encountered the Great World before, and now I have the opportunity to encounter the Devourers’ world. Of course, I can’t miss it. Whether they are Boundary Breakers or Devourers, every single one of them deserves to die."

It’s not that Zheng Yichen is being rash, it’s just the reality. The destruction of each world inevitably involves the loss of countless lives. If those bastards don’t deserve to die, who does?

"But isn’t this too risky?"

"It’s not a problem. I already have my trump card. This is an important morale booster provided by Dusk for Proxy Agents," Zheng Yichen said with a smile, picking up his chopsticks.

The place wasn’t very strict with its rules; you could eat whatever you wanted.

Du Gang did not join Zheng Yichen’s conversation. Instead, after Zheng Yichen finished talking, he spoke up: "Right, this is an opportunity. It would be a pity to miss such a rare chance."

Expounding his thoughts, Du Gang said: "Since the Devouring Faction has come knocking directly and on my home turf at that, we’ve won the battle of timing. Our combat strength isn’t lacking either. The Dusk mercenaries facing the Devouring Faction can definitely take the fight to them."

This is not a counter-invasion, but a counter-attack. The true invaders are the Devouring Faction. If Zheng Yichen had not arrived, he would have considered this choice carefully. But now with Zheng Yichen here, they could collaborate.

Having made up his mind, Zheng Yichen asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

"There’s no rush. Let’s wait two days. Otherwise, the Devourers might choose to flee."

The Devourers aren’t fools. If they really knew about the presence of two Proxy Agents in this world, why would they stupidly continue with their world-devouring? Better to flee early and reduce some losses. Du Gang’s idea was to wait two more days, allowing the Devouring Sky Pillar and this world to establish a stable link before making a move.

By then, the Devourers would be in a limbo state, struggling to retract the Devouring Sky Pillar, which would require time – time enough for them to launch a counter-attack.

Every world has its Dusk, and the Devourers’ world is no exception. However, the Devouring Faction isn’t like the Great World, which has integrated countless world attributes to the utmost extent and is vast and abundant in all aspects.

The Devouring Faction’s world still adheres to its original standards, meaning it has a very high individual upper limit.

"Then that will be the plan." Zheng Yichen also had no objections. Two days were but a brief wait for him, and besides, he could do other things during that time.

After concluding the serious discussion, Du Gang changed the subject, talking about Zheng Yichen’s recent experiences: "You always seem to encounter rather special worlds. This one is no different. The Illusory Eye is indeed a treasure."

Pointing to his own eyes, Du Gang had received some Illusory Eyes crafted by Dusk from Zheng Yichen. After trying them out, he discovered their effects exceeded his expectations.

Although this item is a finished product, it can still be strengthened in the future by investing more enhancement materials on Dusk’s side.

This item can make warriors like him become more well-rounded without the need to enhance their non-warrior attributes, as the Illusory Eye is related to the spirit.

Warriors... You can say that warriors have low intelligence attributes, but their mental will is not necessarily lesser than that of mages.

Therefore, as a veteran Proxy Agent, Du Gang immediately realized the power and uniqueness of this item, and he prepared to invest some powerful enhancement materials to strengthen it later.

Just at this moment, the invasion from the Devouring Faction arrived, then there was nothing more to say. The Sky Pillar of the Devouring Faction itself is a very excellent enhancement material.

It’s just that the Devouring Faction dare not touch Dusk and can’t utilize related items to their extremes like Dusk.

"Indeed, it’s a good item. Not to mention doubling the combat strength, when we use it, it can greatly increase our combat strength. More importantly, having this item will make everyday life more convenient," said Du Gang with a laugh. Having this item is indeed very convenient in daily life, except... it’s easy to be seen as mentally ill, nothing else is a problem.

In the world of the Illusory Eye, everyone has these items, so even if someone is seen riding a vacuum car, it would be considered normal—a matter of insiders’ understanding. But in other worlds, it’s different.

"We have an urgent matter this time, so let’s skip the drink and celebrate together after repelling the invasion."

"That’s all fine, just the food alone is great," Zheng Yichen said sincerely.

"Brother Chang Qing, actually I wanted to try that divine wine..." After dinner, Lin Yaoyao said somewhat hesitantly.

They were currently at the residence arranged by Du Gang. Although this world honors martial prowess, many other aspects of development have not been neglected.

The residence had everything one would need, and as for Du Gang’s home, it actually wasn’t that big.

"What are you drinking? Here, try this instead." Zheng Yichen lightly tapped on Lin Yaoyao’s head and pricked his own finger, "You’re on a mission now, so don’t think about touching that kind of thing. Focus on training."

"Ah... okay, alright." Lin Yaoyao gently rubbed her head, realizing it had been a while since she had used Brother Chang Qing’s Blood Asura cultivation method.

Now that they could do so again, she and Liu Hongzhao felt a long-missed sensation. They quickly got into the right state of mind and began to absorb the blood provided by Zheng Yichen.

Thread by thread, the vital energy separated from Zheng Yichen’s blood flow, merging into their blood-hued inner force.

Even though they had become much stronger, when faced with the blood provided by Zheng Yichen, they could still feel the tremendous strength contained within it.

Not only that, but they also sensed something unusual in this batch of blood—it felt like a power that could break the shackles of life.

The use of such powers was apparent; although they were akin to Demigods or Supreme Demons in their own world, the shackles of life still existed.

After all, they weren’t true Supreme Demons and didn’t possess the Undying and Indestructible characteristics, but now, the human life limitations were partially broken.

All this was brought about by the blood provided by Zheng Yichen.

"Brother Chang Qing, there seems to be something odd about your blood."

"I’ve added some Essence of Life." Zheng Yichen explained to Liu Hongzhao, who stopped her training: "You’re all quite powerful now, and ordinary blood wouldn’t help you much."

"It’s not that, it’s that a part of our life shackles has been broken," Liu Hongzhao replied.

Zheng Yichen pondered upon hearing this; he thought of the little elves in the Elven Holy Land who had undergone some changes because of his own Life Force.

"Breaking the life shackles is a good thing, hurry up and refine this blood." As for the feature of his life-force-rich blood being able to break life shackles—well, considering the many creatures he had slain, it was hard to pinpoint its origin...

After all, many enhancements aren’t immediately noticeable, and since he didn’t have any attribute panel to see what new skills became obvious at a glance.

If there were likely reasons, they would probably be related to the powerful creatures he had killed in the Great World, like the mobile Da Shan or the dragon that could summon wind and rain.

Liu Hongzhao nodded her head, then closed her eyes and resumed her cultivation practice.

Zheng Yichen watched them all enter a state of intense concentration. He himself sat by the window, looking out at the people coming and going on the street, occasionally spotting some hurried Dusk mercenaries.

Whether it be lone walkers or teams.

Beyond these Dusk mercenaries, the street was peaceful—it seemed that the invasion by the Devouring Faction concerned most people in this World.

At least in terms of combat, it had no direct relation to them... In places invisible to ordinary people, those who needed to take action have already begun to do so.
