Acai's Sky

Tong Jiayuan's slender fingers tapped the tea table rhythmically, and the celadon tea set made a slight buzzing sound as it vibrated, interweaving with the sound of the wind outside the teahouse into a strange rhythm.

At this moment, a silver-white light suddenly pierced through the darkness, and the figure of 00541 shot out from Acai's consciousness.

This little guy has changed into a panda skin today. His round body is covered with inky fur, and his eyes are like two obsidian inlaid eyes. He looks cute but also a little cunning.

It waved the mini baton in its hand, and a translucent virtual screen instantly appeared in the air. Blue light flowed in the cabin, making everyone's faces flicker.

"Everyone, pay attention, pay attention to the blackboard, and get to the point!"

00541 cleared his throat, his voice had the unique mechanical feel of electronic synthesis, but inexplicably revealed the accent of a storyteller.

It waved its baton, and data on the screen refreshed like flowing water. "At this stage, the percentage of players who have died in our Penglai Temple camp is only 3/10. This is a standout among all the camps, and the casualty data is far ahead!"

The little fellow paced back and forth in the air with his hands behind his back and his short legs, his fur trembling slightly with his movements.

"I have to say, our master really stole the show this time! He dealt a heavy blow to the Dark Moon organization and wiped out the pirate group. On the regional battlefield contribution list, his name is absolutely shining!"

As it spoke, its panda skin suddenly glowed with electricity, as if to illustrate its own words. "Furthermore, our master's team has generated the most fragmented light clusters in the entire dungeon system! Tomorrow, the entire region will be notified of the battlefield. That scene, wow!"

Tong Jiayuan frowned even more tightly when he heard this.

He stared at the ripples in the teacup, as if he could glimpse the bloody battlefield from them.

"Have other factions also been attacked by the Dark Moon organization? And suffered heavy casualties?" His voice was low, with a hint of subtle worry.

00541 shrugged his round shoulders and rolled his panda eyes upwards. "Yeah, that's right! But we're lucky here. Many of those players who died were unfortunately killed while exploring the fragments."

The teahouse fell into a brief silence, with only the whistling of the wind outside becoming increasingly shrill.

Tong Jiayuan's fingers tapped faster and faster, and the tea sets on the tea table clinked.

"We haven't even faced the opposing Lord God yet, but we've already consumed so many players. This won't be a good thing in the long run!" His words were filled with deep worry, as if he had already foreseen the tragic battlefield in the future.

00541 shook his head disapprovingly. "It can't be helped. It's always been this way. If we don't deplete our manpower so much, wouldn't high-level players just crowd together? After all, dungeons have to have some sort of elimination mechanism."

Ah Cai, who was standing by, widened her eyes and opened her mouth into an O shape. "Oh my god, this is too cruel! Survival of the fittest, it's even more realistic than reality!"

Her voice trembled with disbelief, and she was obviously shocked by this cold rule.

Qin general Wang Li snorted coldly, his armor gleaming with a cold sheen in the blue light.

"These Lord Gods don't even bother to pretend! They're just casually consuming players above level 60. They treat human life like grass!"

His words were filled with anger, and the Zhuxian Sword in his hand was unconsciously clenched, and the scabbard drew a string of sparks on the ground.

00541 rolled his eyes and waved his furry paws in the air. "Do you think the gods care? In their eyes, we are just pawns on the chessboard. If you want to change the rules, unless..."

It suddenly stopped, and a mysterious light flashed in its eyes, as if hiding a huge secret.

Qin General Wang Jian raised his head and stared at 00541 with a sharp gaze. "Unless what? Just say it."

The little fellow chuckled, a sly expression on his panda face. "Unless we can break the established game framework! But that's easier said than done. Each faction is backed by a main god, and these gods are in turn constrained by the rules of a higher-level star field. Trying to change fate is like trying to shake a tree with an ant."

……

In the teahouse, the aroma of tea lingers in the air.

As soon as He Youxing followed the captain into this place, he was overwhelmed by the noisy voices of the crowd.

This teahouse is located at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by green bamboo, with green tiles and white walls, exuding a sense of simplicity and elegance.

The copper bells hanging under the eaves swayed gently in the wind, and the tinkling sound blended with the conversations inside the house.

He Youxing had just completed his mission and was still feeling tired.

His clothes were stained with dust, and there were a few new scratches on the scabbard.

At this moment, he followed behind the captain, his eyes casually sweeping over everyone in the teahouse.

There were several long wooden tables in the room, with steam rising from the celadon tea bowls on the tables. The heroes summoned by the inviter sat around in groups of three or four, some with excitement, some with relaxed smiles on their faces.

At this moment, a familiar voice came into my ears. The voice was a bit playful, but also revealed an inexplicable sense of authority. It was the existence that seemed like a system elf.

He Youxing subconsciously stopped and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw 00541 floating in the air next to a large table in the middle of the teahouse, wearing a panda skin on his head, emitting a soft light blue light all over his body, like a twinkling elf in the night sky.

He Youxing had an idea and pulled Liu Fengqi beside him. The two of them quietly approached and sat down at a table not far away.

He Youxing whispered to Liu Fengqi, lowering his voice, "Apart from those who have truly gained experience, all the other Chinese players are just hanging around in the Novice Village, with no plans to come out. It's even less likely they'll ever enter a regional battlefield..."

Liu Fengqi frowned slightly, without a trace of worry in his eyes. "Well, we have a large base. One in ten of us has reached level 60. We are not something that can be let down in the regional battlefield. We will definitely win the battle..."

He gently stroked the teacup in his hand, and the tea swayed gently in the cup, reflecting his smiling expression.

At this moment, Wang Changming's loud words not far away attracted the attention of the two.

Wang Changming, a burly man with a full beard, was waving his arms, his face flushed with excitement. "By the way, if we follow the inviter into the fragments a few times, we can obtain countless resources. The hero secret manual we obtained this time alone is enough to arm our entire army..."

He Xin, who was sitting next to him, nodded repeatedly, a cunning glint in his eyes. "Ah, yes, yes, yes... With the [Elementary Body Refining Technique] we've practiced and these martial arts secrets, our combat power will be incredible!"

He Xin's face was filled with confidence. Who could be as lucky as them, to have an inviter and the ability to bring most of China into the dungeon world...

The atmosphere in the teahouse became increasingly lively, with everyone talking and discussing what they had gained from the fragmented world.

Some people showed off their newly acquired magical weapons, the swords flashing with cold light, emitting a faint glow under the candlelight in the teahouse; some people shared their unique skill secrets, the words on the pages seemed to carry a mysterious power, making people want to peek into the mysteries contained therein.

He Youxing fell into deep thought.

He thought of the hardships he had gone through, fighting monsters in the wild, searching for opportunities in secret realms, and every battle was a test of life and death.

And can those players hiding in the Novice Village really play a role in the future battlefield?

Also, although this method of obtaining resources through the fragment world can quickly improve his strength, it always makes him feel a little uneasy.

Liu Fengqi seemed to see through his thoughts and patted his shoulder gently. "Don't think too much for now. Let's just do our best. But we do need to be careful about things in this fragmented world."
