Chapter 286: Chapter 6: The Manor

Feeling the familiar lightness of his body after the task of the Sun Kingdom, it had been a while since Li Changhe had been teleported.

The sensation of being pulled instantaneously was quite... thrilling.

Hopefully, this time, he wouldn’t be teleported into a pile of monsters...

Li Changhe was not reckless; since the other party had taken out a teleportation scroll, there must be some sort of base. Just like the various safe zones in the [Great Wall], they would be used as teleportation markers.

To ensure his own safety, Li Changhe had the [Shell Leaf Sutra Box] ready in case this was a plan targeting [General Mountain]. Then, he could only alert Dog Brother early.

Dog Brother is not a dog, but a brother!

Although forced by Li Changhe, he was able to bite the Demon Armor that was restricted on Hailing Mountain, with impressive attack power.

It was the damage unit of Hill Technology, which was installed in Mr. Bai’s basement as wall measuring devices.

It was produced from a high-tech instance. Mr. Bai and Bai Luohe completed a confrontation mission in that instance before reaching level five.

While dealing with their enemies, they also knocked out the tester there...

Since it can display damage intuitively, many [Players] calculated their damage using the test data from Hill Technology.

At that time, the LV6 Li Changhe dealing with Hailing Mountain, using [Fierce Tiger Climbing Hard] and [Wind Demon Old Lead] in rotation, could only knock off his helmet.

But Dog Brother shattered the Demon Armor with a single bite.

Roughly estimating one bite to be 5000+, he didn’t know if it counted as full force...

In addition to his bizarre appearance, Dog Brother was quite difficult to deal with.

As long as the other party didn’t deploy several LV10 [Players], Dog Brother could really cause a lot of pressure.

Though, it was hard for Li Changhe to control him.

Feeling his feet touch solid ground, Li Changhe immediately used [Hawkeye Demon Eyes] to summon three black hawks and disperse them. He could observe the terrain and also prepare to escape.

His left hand was on the handle of the Sanction Nails, ready to draw them at any time.

His right hand had not fully recovered and was hidden under the woolen cloak, tightly gripping the [Boss Lead].

’Fake Thunder Light Sword’ was ready to trigger at any moment.

At the same time, he observed his surroundings.

It was the interior courtyard of a Western-style manor with a large area. The trees had been carefully pruned, and not far from him was a typical Western-style villa.

White columns towered majestically, and under the cover of trees, they seemed even more magnificent. In front of the villa was a circular fountain pool with Li Changhe standing next to it.

And... the time had changed to night.

Li Changhe had an idea in his mind; he was quite familiar with Yanyun.

Wherever there was work to be found, he would be there. But he had never heard of any manor like this in Yanyun. Where could such a Western-style manor of this scale be hidden?

Moreover... the time. When Li Changhe entered the bathroom earlier, he had specifically checked the time. It was 9:43 in the morning, and there was no way he would see the night.

The scroll he had just used was an ordinary one for teleporting within five kilometers, and it was absolutely impossible to reach somewhere with night.

Li Changhe sent messages in [Friends] to the box and Luo Kai and received a confirmed time. It was 9:44.

Along with the time it took for Li Changhe to find and open the scroll, it should be this time.

"[Friends] is not blocked. There’s no problem with the time," Li Changhe said while controlling a black hawk to fly away from the manor but could only hover over the wall, futilely flapping its wings. It was as if an air wall was blocking the black hawk.

"First, this is not an illusion. And since I can still contact the box, it means this place is not a [Task Space]," Li Changhe quickly thought in his mind, observing the layout of the manor.

"Is it a hidden location disguised by some means? Then what is this night for? Just ask a [Friend] and we can know the time. It can’t be misleading at all," Yun Ting said in his mind, "Is it... just for showing off?"

"It’s possible. If the goal is to form an alliance, they definitely need to take the initiative. This is a little trick in psychology. It’s a good opportunity to show their strength," Li Changhe responded in his mind, seeing the villa’s door slowly opening.

A middle-aged man appeared inside the door.

Wearing a washed white shirt, black waistcoat, bow tie, and black tails.

His meticulous hair and forever upright posture denoted his identity as a butler.

"Honored guests, the master has been waiting for you for a long time," the smiling middle-aged man gestured for Li Changhe to come in.

From the woods, figures stirred, and people slowly walked out.

Li Changhe was not surprised. When he summoned the black hawks, he had already seen their figures. They made no effort to hide.

They just sat quietly under the trees or stood nearby, waiting for everyone to arrive. They were the [Player Organizations] members gathered here this time.

Four figures slowly walked out. If there were seven [Player Organizations], minus Li Changhe and the ’host’ here, one was still missing.

Li Changhe didn’t greet them but looked back at the pool slowly.

Left hand slowly pulling out the nails, the silver gleam gradually lengthened. At the same time, Li Changhe’s hostility emerged.

As if he would strike at any moment.

"Isn’t it cold in the water?" the old questioning voice came from the Bird Beak Mask.

"Pa"

A figure emerged from the pool, wearing a straw raincoat and hat. Two short knives were sheathed at his waist.

He grinned at Li Changhe: "I wanted to show my hand, but you discovered me... [Spider Web] Show Knife."

He didn’t make any excuses for his attempted attack on Li Changhe and even reported his name.

Brother Ting was helpless against [Players] with Aura Concealment.

He had only seen the positions of those [Players] scattered around when summoning black hawks.

Because they didn’t trust each other, they wouldn’t get close to each other or let others approach.

And the pool was right in the middle of the courtyard, at the center point of the four people.

Since the fifth person hadn’t appeared and the distance between the four [Players] was well maintained,

The only place left for the fifth person to hide was the pool where Li Changhe was.

And Li Changhe just happened to be the last arriving [Player].

For the purpose of testing Li Changhe or the ’host’ of this place,

If Li Changhe didn’t expose himself, he would probably take action.

And Li Changhe was indeed willing to cooperate with him. He would even activate his Title Skill to maximize the pressure and even dismantle the manor.

The [Players] here were happy for someone to figure out the initiator’s attitude and would basically not stop it. They might even secretly help.

Although they were wary of each other, they were also on guard against the initiator.

Li Changhe would probably test the [Players] in the same way,

See what this mysterious initiator would do if people didn’t follow the routine.

"Unfortunately, it won’t work. I’m here to be an undercover agent," Li Changhe said with some regret.

"This place might become my territory later. How could I do this?"

Show the initiator what the spirit of a winery was all about.
