Chapter 1107: 758

The next day, news reports about the Apocalypse Song were incessant.

After all, one-fifth of Canghai City had suffered destruction. Among this, the big star Tang Lai also perished in the incident.

Of course, in reality, Tang Lai and his assistant were secretly protected by the officials.

This time, the suppression of the Apocalypse Song by the Great Wall didn’t receive any praise from the outside world. Instead, it caused a lot of discontent towards the Great Wall and the players.

Li Changhe casually browsed the internet and found that many people were attributing the disaster to the Great Wall.

Perhaps with the encouragement of some, there were even calls on the internet to expel the players from the cities and remarks advocating attacks on players.

It was said that the disaster was due to the failure of the Great Wall’s protection, that the players had brought misfortune upon everyone. They completely disregarded the fact that without the Black Great Wall, the entire Canghai City might have been destroyed.

Moreover, the efficiency of the Great Wall was extremely high. Try switching them with the Black Palace and the Round Table? In the disaster fog, the casualties of their people were well over 50%.

In response to this, most players just chuckled and remained calm.

After all, apart from the officials, most players were concealed among the public. Since their identities were unknown to the outside world, there was no impact on them.

And the government’s response was rather subdued, simply moving to arrest a few guys who had taken money to stir up trouble.

"The old propaganda war," Chen Yu commented, "Some guys are trying to confine the public within an information cocoon, brainwashing them. Expel the players? They dare to say such things. Does anyone really think Hua Country would cripple its own strength?"

At that moment, Chen Yu was dressed in casual clothes, lying somewhat lazily on a chair.

As a major contributor to the suppression of the Apocalypse Song, she had spent a tremendous amount of energy. She looked very haggard.

However, that still didn’t stop her impulse to scrounge for a meal.

She was already waiting eagerly beside the dining table.

"Hehehe, chicken soup coming up~" Li Changhe brought over a big bowl of old hen stewed with ginseng and placed it in front of her.

"This is a great tonic we specially prepared for you." Li Changhe pointed to the ginseng in the bowl: "A rare quality medicine, huh."

Looking at the big bowl of chicken soup and the thumb-thick pieces of ginseng, Chen Yu hesitated for a moment.

She thought to herself, if I drink this bowl, I’ll surely get a nosebleed, right?

"Drink more, it’s specially prepared for you," Xiao Nan also caring, poured a big bowl of chicken soup for Chen Yu warmly.

Chen Yu hesitated again, thinking, this girl, isn’t the intent to fatten me up a bit too obvious?

But as much as she thought, she still didn’t disappoint the kindness of the two.

She picked up the chicken soup, blew on it a few times, and then slowly started to drink.

Perhaps the effect of the ginseng was good, as Chen Yu seemed a bit more spirited.

The night before, under her teammates’ cover, she successfully approached the entity of the Apocalypse Song, near a ragged little girl.

And used her enhanced Title Skill, Dreamworld Arrival, to construct the dream space she had crafted, within the real world.

With this, she managed to soothe the little girl’s crying, allowing the catastrophe to be alleviated. And successfully commanded the Dream Cruise to steer out of the void, containing it.

However, this also caused Chen Yu to lose a great deal of life force. For some time to come, she probably wouldn’t be able to participate in any tasks.

Chen Yu sipped his chicken soup and began, "That girl is the only intelligent survivor of a destroyed world, the last existence entrusted with the hopes of all its life. Nearly impossible to exterminate. In her perception, the world is dead, decaying. Thus, when she encounters living things, she cries out in terror. As she cries, everything around her reverts to her original perception. Hence, these horrific catastrophes occur. When containing her, I caught a glimpse of a terrifying scene. Guess it can serve as material for my dreams."

"So you mean to say, the Great Wall has obtained a weapon that can trigger the end of the world at any moment?" Li Changhe chuckled lightly, "No wonder there are those who condemn the Great Wall, they’re actually worried about this, aren’t they?"

"Possibly, they just can’t stand the sight of the Great Wall gaining any means to threaten them... By the way, Li, how did your harvest go this time?" Chen Yu asked.

"Not too bad, after I took down the Possessor. My Magic Eye received an upgrade," Li Changhe replied, "I’ve gained the ability of Tracing Insight."

As he spoke, Li Changhe glanced at the bowl in Chen Yu’s hands. His ability activated.

A scene of Chen Yu drinking soup appeared before his eyes.

Then he turned to look at the television remote on the coffee table a few steps away. He could see the action of himself turning on the TV.

Any trace left behind could be observed by this ability, revealing the actions of the trace’s owner.

"It’s quite useful in complex situations to uncover what occurred. However, the clarity fades with the age of the traces," Li Changhe said, "If there’s a crime scene, I could directly use this ability to identify the culprit."

"As for the prize from this draw..." A flash of spatial fluctuation surrounded Li Changhe, and a cloak made of grey and black feathers appeared.

The Dark Feather Cloak of Rare Quality, when equipped, enhances jumping capabilities, grants a short-term suspension ability, and allows for silent movement.

Though it virtually has no Defense Force, it’s quite suitable for covert operations.

Used together with the Insect God Vest and Jungle Phantom’s passive, it allowed Li Changhe to blend seamlessly with his surroundings.

For the upcoming Hundred Generals Trial Sword task, it might prove to be quite effective.

After all, better concealment is the primary choice for preserving strength.

"Based on information from the previous two Hundred Generals events, in about one more day, we should have the task world information and rewards for this Hundred Generals Trial Sword," Chen Yu said, "You two need to be careful. Don’t push for ranking."

About three days before the start of the Hundred Generals Trial Sword, preliminary information about the large task would appear on [forum].

Though not extensive, it was enough for players to make some preparatory arrangements.

Subsequently, the rewards for the top 100 to 20 participants of the Hundred Generals Trial Sword would be announced.

Since rewards were distributed based on ranking, those players with set goals could also prepare early to ensure they achieved the ranks they desired.

Take Li Changhe and Moon God for example; they were aiming for the Nine-Turns Resurrection Pill, a reward for ranks 20-29 from the last Hundred Generals Trial Sword.

If they performed too well and accidentally entered the top 20, they might receive Legendary or even Mythic Equipment, but they wouldn’t get the item they wanted.

However, the Hundred Generals Trial Sword offered the most lucrative rewards to date. Surely the number of participating players would be more rather than fewer than before.

If the relationships between players were good, they could engage in exchanges.

Presently, Li Changhe knew of quite a few friends planning to join this round of the Hundred Generals task.

There was the Girl, Boxer, Brother Dong, Moon God, Chen Guang, Qiu Wentian, and Big Iron Pestle...

Wait a second... Big Iron Pestle?

"Damn it!" Li Changhe cursed under his breath, "Doesn’t that mean there’s no escaping him now?"

Li Changhe hadn’t forgotten about Big Iron Pestle’s crazily debilitating debuff.
