Chapter 842: Chapter 615: Since I’m Here Already

"Let’s go somewhere else first," Zheng Yichen noticed some eyes paying attention to the area and immediately gave instructions to Lilith.

Lilith, who had changed her attire’s style through projection, nodded and pulled Tanshia Firlo away from the place.

There were no electronic devices here, and the style of clothing also seemed very wild; it’s less appropriate to call this place ancient than a time even more barbaric than ancient times.

However, this world... um, what Zheng Yichen meant by ’world’ includes all the different worlds of varying strengths—there are many commonalities here, such as language.

Although there are many obscure languages in different worlds, there is a universal aspect to language. It’s just that the local people here used some kind of obscure language in their conversations.

Although Lilith could gather communication information to analyze the language, it still took time to accomplish this.

He had encountered abnormal worlds, normal worlds, but this kind of world was his first encounter—a civilization with some degree of development, existing in tribal forms, without high technology. Based on the feedback on the strength inside this world, Zheng Yichen wouldn’t underestimate such a world.

A world with a strength level even higher than the world of magic, although the energy level here is much lower than that one, the uneven distribution of strength is still strength... Zheng Yichen liked such worlds.

A higher energy level would elevate the lifeform level of individuals, giving feedback when he fed, but because those existences mostly accumulated energy, the feedback wouldn’t be purely concentrated on the body.

In a world like this, it was different; as long as he could kill a sufficiently powerful being inside the world, the feedback would definitely be significant.

It was still the same as before; he sought out powerful creatures as prey, while maintaining the habit of not making excuses to kill those who shouldn’t be killed...

Lilith walked around different places with Zheng Yichen, and then he observed that the Dusk mercenaries here appeared very... localized, or perhaps forced into that.

After touring around other regions in the Dusk Territory without detecting any monitoring force, Zheng Yichen found a place to return to normal. He was still holding a black cat in his arms, but the cat was a projection made by Lilith.

Under the gaze of some people, he let the cat go and then returned to his usual state.

"How strange, why are there children with them? Since when did Dusk recruit in such a careless manner?"

A Dusk mercenary murmured quietly. It wouldn’t be too concerning if it were other Dusk mercenaries, but the fact that it was a child captured their attention—the key was that Tanshia Firlo was also very cute, and it wasn’t as if there had never been individuals disguised as children.

But the behavior of the small white dragon didn’t seem at all like a disguise.

"The more important question is, why pick such a world?"

"What’s wrong with this world?" Zheng Yichen walked over and found a stone bench to sit on, casually taking out some items. The low energy level of this world meant that protective magic tools wouldn’t work very well.

So what he took out were potions.

He didn’t need these items, but stocking up some to trade for favors or information was possible.

"You might not be clear since you just arrived... nice stuff, huh?" Glancing at the potion handed over by Zheng Yichen, a connoisseur immediately confirmed the quality of the item, and the power fluctuation on it made him a bit regretful. This sort of thing could be doubled in effect in a world with higher energy levels.

In a world like this, the effect would be average, but still not bad.

"You can see it yourself, this world is at a very ancient stage, although there is civilization, it’s really chaotic here." The Dusk mercenary who accepted Zheng Yichen’s potion said somewhat wistfully: "It all revolves around the Dusk Territory here, where there are over a hundred Tribes, with the smallest having six or seven hundred people and the largest having tens of thousands."

"So many, how do they sustain their tribes?" Zheng Yichen’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

The Dusk mercenary chuckled and explained: "Mainly because the Tribes are scattered over a large area, but all are centered around here, around the Dusk Territory.

The reason is that this place seems to be a special ’Sacred Land’ in their eyes; no conflict can affect it, so when there is a need for negotiation between Tribes, it happens here. In this place, no one dares to use tricks or brute force.

"The problem is that so many Tribes clustered around here naturally leads to conflict, and you can feel the issue with this world. It’s a world where individual Strength is very powerful, mainly manifested in the body and materials.

What’s worse is that the natives of this world aren’t very accepting of us outsiders. You see our current outfits; if we don’t dress like this, just walking a few dozen kilometers away from Dusk Territory can get you robbed five times!

Saying this, the Dusk mercenary showed a look of regret: "Moreover, the chaos here makes it easy for the native inhabitants to be misled and become forces for the Great World. For our side, persuading some of the native inhabitants is very troublesome.

Save the world?

They thought the heavens and the earth were vast, that human power was limited, and that nothing could destroy the world. Our reminders and warnings were seen as alarmist, and some even resorted to violence! The key here is that some of those who attacked us... we couldn’t even fight back... Damn it!"

At this point, the Dusk mercenary could not help but want to swear, but noticing the curious gaze of a child, he quickly reined in the obscenities he was about to unleash, and he sighed in the end, "The Boundary Breaking Faction from the Great World arrived here earlier than us, knows more about this world, and has taken too many advantages, putting us in a very passive position."

They were really helpless about this kind of world. The Wild Ancient world had many undeveloped areas, and with some luck, one could always find those unique materials, but that’s how it was with the tasks.

The communication with the native residents was difficult, and even if we could communicate with some of the sages, although they were willing to help, the natives of this world were not united, and the tribes were as numerous as the stars.

More than a hundred tribes of various sizes surrounded the Dusk Territory, with the most intense conflicts occurring in the outermost areas, where tribes from further away wanted to squeeze in.

And those on the edges, in order to avoid being harassed every day, thought of pushing inward, while those inside did not want to move, meaning the outsiders could only make those inside "willing" to shift.

Even the most willing sages could at most influence their own tribe. Influence everyone? That’s wishful thinking. In contrast, those worlds that have developed nations are much better; not to mention the worlds of high civilization and high technology, where the efficiency of mobilization is incredibly high.

Even if there is a significant time difference, as long as we could poke through the conspiracy of the Boundary Breaking Faction from the Great World, we could immediately turn the situation around. The reason a conspiracy is called a conspiracy is that it can’t stand public scrutiny.

Once exposed, it’s prone to collapse.

In this world...

Others say it’s a conspiracy but what can you do about it? Influence? Influence in this world is too dispersed. The Dusk mercenaries do not have decades to spend cultivating relationships, and if they took that long, this world would have been doomed long ago.

As for the native residents, when they truly realized that a disaster was upon them, they were willing to abandon the grudges between tribes and join forces to combat the catastrophe, but by then, what could they do?

Once the Breakworld begins, it cannot be stopped.

"So, you mean to say the problems in this world are pretty bad now?"

"Yes," the Dusk mercenary sighed with a sense of melancholy: "Some time ago, a Proxy Agent appeared, and we thought we were guaranteed victory, but that Proxy Agent actually failed... well, not exactly failed, but didn’t fully succeed.

He delayed the Boundary Breaker’s timeline by a lot, but it seems he fell into the schemes of the Great World side, he might be seriously injured or even dead... So choosing this world really couldn’t have come at a worse time."

The Dusk mercenary spoke with a hint of sympathy. Even if they had not guaranteed their objective, they had collected quite a bit while battling here earlier, and it wouldn’t be a total loss to give up on the missions now. But for someone like Zheng Yichen, it was different.

It seemed he was doomed as soon as he arrived here. Talk about bad luck.

"Can you go into more detail about what caused the failure?"

"I don’t know," the Dusk mercenary shook his head resolutely: "That battle was extremely fierce. It seemed there was no time, or perhaps it was another reason, but the individual went head-to-head with the top Tribe inside the world. The battle was too intense, way beyond our ability to get involved up close.

Then the countdown given by Dusk arrived, and this world was still intact. The notice board also updated related information. The problem was only mitigated, not completely resolved."

And they were not unable to get close to that war because they couldn’t join in. Considering the quality of the Dusk mercenaries who came to this world, those who remained until now were very capable. Taking on a few strong individuals from that tribe was not a big issue for them, but the problem was that there were just a lot of them on the other side.

A big crowd of Wild Ancients capable of blasting buildings with a single punch, roaring and charging, who wouldn’t feel daunted by that?

Could beat five or ten? They fought as a team, this wasn’t a contest of bravery between warriors, it was war., and in war, not too many rules are discussed; defeating the enemy is all that matters.

That’s a mega-tribe with over a hundred thousand members... they could damn well start their own country!

And in this world, the average physical fitness of the people was very high; even children could break sturdy bones with their fists, using such bones as chewing sticks... Of course, this applied to most ordinary people in this world.

"So, you might as well give up early. The chance of solving this world’s crisis is too slim," the Dusk mercenary advised Zheng Yichen.

As for letting Zheng Yichen scrape up a last wave of resources here? Did they really think Dusk was blind? That suggestion would be the real trap. Profiting from a task was no issue, as long as there was no slacking, and at other times, it wasn’t worth thinking too much.

"Hahaha, since I’m already here, I might as well give it a try!"
