Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 117 Five Locations
Messages in the territory cannot be left casually like chatting with friends. You can only leave a message once a day.

Yang Xu hadn't expected Leng Sha to actually message him. What was the Nian beast?
Yang Xu sent a message to Xiao An, asking for information about the Nian beast.

Xiao An responded quickly and explained the information he knew about the Nian Beast.

There are two types of Nian Beasts: Nian Beast and Xi Beast. It is also a special mirror ghost. However, unlike ordinary auspicious beasts, Nian Beast is aggressive and cannot be persuaded, but can only be killed.

The Nian Beast will only appear once a year in each main city. After it appears, nearby administrators will automatically receive a mission to defeat it. There is no limit on the number of people involved, and in theory, all city administrators can fight it together.

Attacking the Nian Beast can gain a lot of experience and points. Moreover, as long as the administrator causes enough damage to the Nian Beast during the Nian Beast crusade, he can obtain a "Nian Beast Blessing" status. In the next year, killing mirror ghosts in the city will increase the experience points and points obtained by 10%-20%.

Yang Xu was surprised. A 20% increase in experience points for a year! This effect was too strong, worthy of being a Mirror Ghost that only appeared once a year.

"What happened?" Xiao An asked.

Yang Xu told Xiao An the message he received.

"Information about the Nian Beast... Could it be that this guy knows when the Nian Beast will appear this year?" Xiao An's eyes lit up.

He had participated in a crusade against the Nian Beast three years ago and successfully obtained the blessing. At that time, he was able to quickly rise to 7 stars within a year, thanks to the buff given by the Nian Beast.

"Can the time of appearance of this creature be predicted in advance?" Yang Xu asked.

"It's hard to say." Xiao An frowned.

The Nian Beast usually appears between New Year's Day and before Qingming Festival. It could appear on any day, and theoretically, its exact time is impossible to predict. However, it's hard to say for sure. After all, in the extraordinary world, it's not impossible that some prop that can predict the time of the Nian Beast has appeared.

"By the way, if this guy really has information about the Nian Beast, why would he specifically inform you?" Xiao An asked.

This was also the question Yang Xu was thinking about. This guy was blackmailed for a root crystal by him yesterday, and he must be feeling the pain.

If the other party still thinks he is the King of Clubs, he should be both hating and fearing him. What does it mean to come up to him and deliver information?
But if the other party had seen through his disguise and wanted to retaliate against him, it should have been done secretly. Wouldn't it be like alerting the enemy by actively leaving a message...

Yang Xu pondered for a while and finally decided to meet the other party.

Because from the perspective of Plum Blossom K, he would definitely be interested in the news about the Nian Beast. If he directly refused or pretended not to see it, it would make him look guilty.

Thinking of this, Yang Xu sent a message to the other party through the territory: "Come over."

Not long after the message was sent, a prompt appeared on the panel: [Leng Sha has requested to enter your territory. Do you agree?]

Yang Xu put on the blocking cloak, released the talking parrot, and then chose to agree.

A few seconds later, a figure quietly walked in from the border of the territory. It was Leng Sha from yesterday.

However, he didn't dare to move. He just stood in front of the border plot, looking very reserved, looking around carefully: "Boss? The King of Clubs Boss?"

After shouting a few times but no one answered, Leng Sha was just about to take a few more steps forward.

A voice suddenly sounded from behind: "What information?"

Leng Sha was startled and turned his head to see a figure shrouded in a black robe appearing five meters behind him.

Leng Sha looked at the person in front of him in awe, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "This is the information about the Nian Beast. I just learned from a friend the time and place where the Nian Beast might appear this year."

"What friend? How did he know?" Yang Xu asked.

"This is a friend from another city. As for how he found out... I'm not quite sure, but I can guarantee that the information is accurate!" Leng Sha said.

"..." Yang Xu stopped talking.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing. Leng Sha's forehead was slightly sweaty. He didn't dare to say anything and just lowered his head and waited silently.

After being silent for more than ten seconds, Yang Xu finally spoke: "Why are you looking for me?"

"This one……"

Leng Sha's eyes turned rapidly. After thinking for a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and spoke carefully: "I hope to use this information to exchange for the boss's protection for a period of time."

"Asylum? Who did you offend?" Yang Xu raised his eyebrows.

"Well, I do have a few enemies... but they're only 8-stars! They're nowhere near as good as you, Boss. They're not even worthy of carrying your shoes..."

"So you're planning to use me to help you get rid of these enemies?" Yang Xu sneered, "Do you think a mere Nian beast is worth making enemies for no reason?"

"No, no, you don't have to do anything. You just need to come forward and say a word for me when my enemies come to my door." Leng Sha explained hurriedly, but a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

In fact, he still hasn't been completely sure whether the person in front of him is the King of Clubs.

After escaping yesterday, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss. The legendary King of Clubs never spoke, relying solely on his parrot to communicate, making it impossible to tell whether they were male or female. But yesterday, this person spoke directly to him, and the voice was clearly male, which was the first suspicious point.

The second suspicious point is that this person never displayed a poker card above his head. Poker cards are clearly the most direct way to show an administrator's identity and status, but this person never showed them.

There is also a small doubt, that is, a wall was built in this territory today.

Of course, the latter two doubts are not difficult to explain. The absence of playing cards can be interpreted as the other party communicating with him in the form of an ordinary person, or it can be said that the other party has obtained some props that can hide playing cards, which is not too rare.

As for the sudden construction of the wall, that's easier to explain. Before yesterday, this was the only territory nearby, so building a wall or not made no difference. Plus, it was a small territory with few important resources, so we hadn't bothered with it.

Now that he has moved in, there is someone next door, and the other party feels uncomfortable, so they built a temporary wall to protect privacy, which is also human nature.

What really made him suspicious was the first point: the King of Clubs spoke.

Of course, if he had to force an explanation, he could. His territory had been invaded, and the other party, in a rage, had cursed him directly. And since he had already spoken once, there was no need to use parrots to replace human voices later.

There were explanations for everything, but he couldn't find clear evidence to prove the other party's identity, so Leng Sha was in great trouble.

Yesterday, he had a root crystal knocked out of him, and the pain was still there. If the opponent had the King of Clubs, it would be fine, he would just accept it.

But if not, the other party is just a novice pretending to be a big shot in front of him, he will definitely not tolerate it.

But he didn't dare to gamble. He definitely wouldn't dare to test it directly.

So, after thinking it over, he came up with this idea: hand over the information about the Nian Beast in his hand, and use the Nian Beast to test the other party's strength.

During the Nian Beast subjugation, the person with the highest damage to the Nian Beast was announced to the whole city. This news was told to Plum Blossom K. With Plum Blossom K's strength, no one else could defeat him. So just look at who killed the Nian Beast tonight, and you will know whether he is the real one.

If the other party is really the King of Clubs, then I will use this information to gain a good advantage. If I can take the opportunity to establish a relationship with the King of Clubs, it will be a blessing in disguise in a sense.

"If your enemies come to you in the future, I can help you mediate, but it's just mediation. If the other party still insists on killing you, I won't care." Yang Xu suddenly said.

"That's enough!" Leng Sha breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that even if he had gotten in touch with Club K, they might have said they were just mediating, but bigwigs like them were always trying to save face. Would they just stand by and watch someone die if they were in trouble? As long as he cultivated this relationship, sooner or later he'd be able to make Club K his stable backer.

"Can you tell me the information about the Nian beast?" Yang Xu urged.

"Yes, the Nian beast will appear between 10 and 11 o'clock tonight!" Leng Sha said.

"tonight?"

"Yes, my friend's method requires a close enough time to be able to predict it..." Leng Sha explained.

"Where is the location?" Yang Xu asked.

"Uh, the location may be in the following places." Leng Sha did not give the location directly, but took out a piece of paper.

Yang Xu took it and looked at it. On the paper was a sketch of Qingyang City. Five places were marked with a marker. They were located in the five major areas of east, west, south, north and center, and were far apart from each other.

Yang Xu frowned and asked, "Which place exactly?"

"We can only detect that it is one of these five locations, but we can't be sure which one it is." Leng Sha said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I understand. You can go back now." Yang Xu put the paper away and waved goodbye.

"Yes, I wish you a great victory tonight!" Leng Sha left a message, not daring to say more, and quickly retreated away from the border wall.

After watching the other party leave, Yang Xu immediately contacted Xiao An and told him what had just happened.

"Five locations?" Xiao An couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He thought it was some relatively clear information, but it turned out to be so ambiguous for a long time, and the time and place were not certain.

"Call A Fei, and each of us three will choose a location to guard. If we find the Nian beast, we will immediately notify the others." Yang Xu said.

Fortunately, Qingyang City had just completed its upgrade a few days ago, and a new teleportation array was built in each of the four districts of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest. It would still be in time to reunite after discovering the Nian Beast.

Unfortunately, there are only three of them. If the Nian Beast happens to spawn at the remaining two spots, there will be nothing they can do. They can only take a gamble on their luck.

"Then I'll guard the east district. I'm more familiar with this area." Xiao An said.

Yang Xu was not surprised. The East District was Red Beard's sphere of influence. He knew that Xiao An's territory was in the East District, otherwise he would not have become enemies with the Red Heart Guild.

Yang Xu sent a message to A Fei, explaining the situation. A Fei immediately said that he was responsible for guarding the west district, also because the territory was in the west district.

"Then I'll stay in the North District."

Yang Xu took a look at the paper and was slightly surprised that the location marked as the North District on the paper was exactly Qingyang University.
