Traveling through the game world

"All done, Morgan. How's the potion preparation going with the Dark Elves?" Baron, having dealt with the Illusionary Elves and returned to Silver Village, barked into Morgan's laboratory.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Morgan greeted them and explained, "Although the attributes of elves differ, their core essence is the same. While you were away, I prepared a potion to sober up the dark elves." As he spoke, Morgan took out the prepared sedative specifically for dark elves and handed it to Baron. After thinking for a moment, he added, "What happens to the illusionary elves after they drink the sedative?"

Lian Yang nodded and recalled, "He said he had a headache, and it seemed to us to be in a lot of pain. I really don't know how they distinguished the head and body from just a single, separate crystal." The illusionary elf's body looked like two diamond-shaped hats with a ball sandwiched in the middle; Lian Yang simply couldn't tell which was the head.

Morgan pondered for a moment, then said, "The potion should be fine; it seems the problem lies with the evil intent. But it's incredible that they can actually distinguish between the head and the torso. I really want to study their anatomy!" Morgan finished, his face filled with longing. Perhaps his insatiable thirst for knowledge was what made him a renowned alchemist in Arad.

"Cough cough..." Seeing Morgan fall into madness again, Lian Yang couldn't help but cough to wake him up.

"Uh, hehe!" Morgan chuckled awkwardly, then quickly changed the subject, saying, "Tana seems to be looking for you; I think it's about the Dark Elves."

Tana Residence

Tana greeted Lian Yang and Baron with a hint of surprise, saying, "You've returned from the crystal mine so quickly! It seems your adventures have improved your strength rapidly!"

Nodding humbly, Lian Yang said, "Increasing my strength is secondary; for now, I just want to restore peace to this beautiful forest."

Seemingly remembering something, Tana asked Lian Yang, "Two female adventurers came a couple of days ago. One of them is very powerful; she's the infamous Poison Queen, Paris. It seems she brought a junior or a friend with her for training. I wonder if you've encountered them?"

"No," Lian Yang replied affirmatively, because he hadn't encountered Paris, and knowing the plot well, he guessed that Paris was currently in the Imperial prison sealed by Tana. At the same time, Lian Yang knew that the unfortunate Silma was definitely under the control of the evil Sam.

Tana nodded and continued, "In fact, it's not just these two adventurers; many adventurers near Silver Village are now entering the Arnofa Forest. They all say they want to solve Arnofa's current problems. But I'm really worried they'll be controlled by evil thoughts and the Black Nightmare. That's even more terrifying than the elven riots."

What? Adventurers are already entering the Arnofa Forest in large numbers? This is not good news. The Silver Village in the game has always been the protagonist's battlefield, with no other players involved. But in the real world, the power of the Evil Spirits makes Lian Yang very worried that the diverse skill levels of the adventurers will become an obstacle to their victory over the Evil Spirit aggregate, Sam.

Lian Yang, his face immediately filled with worry, said, "If possible, we really shouldn't have let them in at this time. The power of evil thoughts is beyond their imagination. Especially that kind of mind-controlling power. Without a firm belief, they might be controlled soon after entering the elves' territory!"

Seeing the two struggling, Baron suddenly said decisively, "We can't worry about that now. Silver Village and several nearby villages haven't been able to hunt and gather in the Arnofa Forest for a long time. We don't know how much longer they can hold out. Let's just hope we don't run into them. Once we find the source of the evil, everyone will be back to normal soon!" Actually, his thought was that if he encountered any adventurers who were reckless and controlled by evil, he should just kill them. Arad wasn't a peaceful world. And Baron wasn't one to be merciful.

Tana nodded helplessly and said, "That's the only way! If you run into Paris, you can ask her for help. She's cold on the outside but warm on the inside, not a bad person. Hopefully, Dalex hasn't been corrupted yet!"

Contaminated crystal veins

"Hahaha! Die, all of you die!"...

"You will all die so that the treasure can be mine!"...

Driven to madness by the approaching adventurers, she shouted, "Hey, what are you doing! There's no treasure here!" Looking around at the bare forest and the strange crystals growing on the ground, there was no sign of treasure. The people in front of her were definitely insane.

Alice, a celestial gunner, is 1.75 meters tall, with an absolutely beautiful face and a devilish figure. Her hobbies include adventure and beautiful women.

"Die!"

"Let the world be plunged into darkness!"

The mad adventurer continued his frantic pursuit of Alice, refusing to listen to any explanations whatsoever.

Alice tried desperately to persuade the adventurers, but to no avail. Never one to be a pushover, Alice flew into a rage, shouting, "You're asking for it! Then die! Take this cannon shot!" In her anger, the small hand cannon in Alice's hand instantly transformed into a massive cannon requiring both hands to hold. She raised her hand and fired.

"Boom!"

A cannon is a cannon; you can't imagine how jarring it would be to see a delicate, beautiful woman carrying a massive cannon.

It hit! Alice's cannon exploded precisely in the middle of the crazed adventurers. But these out-of-control adventurers were completely oblivious. Thick black smoke billowed from their bodies, and their skin, charred by the cannon's intense heat, emitted a pungent, acrid smell. Yet, the out-of-control adventurers stared at the dark, smoking mass of charred skin and charged at Alice again.

"Fall into darkness!"...

"All the treasures are mine!"...

Seeing the adventurers continuing their pursuit, their words unchanged, Alice felt a chill run down her spine. She stammered, "You... what are you monsters! If you don't leave, I'll really kill someone! I have plenty of blood on my hands! Don't come any closer!" Alice certainly had her share of lives, but those were the hands of villains from the lawless zones of the Celestial Realm. The gun in Alice's hand had never harmed a single innocent person. Seeing the crazed adventurers before her, the now-calm Alice easily realized they were being controlled; she genuinely didn't want to fire.

"Inner Demon Sword Technique!"

While Alice hesitated and was filled with fear, Lian Yang, who had been waiting for the right moment, unleashed a few quick slashes and easily cut down the crazed adventurer.

"You...you...who are you?!" Alice, already terrified by the mad adventurers, asked nervously. She was genuinely worried that Lian Yang was also a mad adventurer. Especially since Lian Yang's current strength was no less than hers.

Lian Yang gracefully twirled his sword, then said with a serious expression, "Since you've asked so sincerely!"

Baron's Mountain Crash appears with a burst of rage as his entrance effect, shouting solemnly, "I'll mercifully tell you!"

Lianyang returned the sword to its sheath, his eyes filled with holiness and compassion, and said, "To prevent the world from being destroyed!"

Baron's bloodlust dissipated, and he opened his arms to embrace the heavens and earth, saying with a resolute expression, "To maintain world peace!"

Lian Yang shouted exaggeratedly in a hopeful voice: "An adventure filled with love and hope!"

Baron, with his messy hair, gave a somewhat incongruous gentlemanly bow: "I am the berserker Baron!"

Dressed in all black, Lian Yang's gentlemanly demeanor was noticeably more dashing: "I am Lian Yang, the Sword Soul!"

Lian Yang and Baron simultaneously struck a Superman pose, one fist protecting their chest and the other pointing skyward, then, with smug expressions, declared in unison, "We are a handsome and dashing duo of swordsmen! Beautiful lady, we hope you will get to know us well!"

Looking at the two lovable clowns in front of her, the exhausted Alice finally became convinced that they weren't crazy, but rather that they were fools.

With a "thud," Alice fell backward to the ground, muttering, "That scared the hell out of me!"

"Damn! Lian Yang fainted from fright!" Feeling that he had overdone his act, Baron saw Alice lying on the ground and complained, "See? I told you not to be so silly! You scared this beautiful girl to death!"

Lian Yang, exasperated, said, "She was just tired and lay down, okay? Didn't you notice her disdainful glances constantly sweeping over us?" He thought to himself, "Baron is usually so composed, how come he can't resist a pretty girl? Little does he know, he's even more clingy with his girlfriend."

It turns out these two had spotted Alice being chased by the out-of-control adventurer early on. The hot-blooded Baron impulsively wanted to come to her rescue, but the sharp-eyed Lian Yang immediately understood that the young lady didn't want to go on a killing spree. Sure enough, seeing Alice getting impatient, he decisively struck. Lian Yang quickly led Baron to subdue the out-of-control adventurer. Then, he made his incredibly dramatic entrance.

Rule #1 for picking up girls: First impressions must be strong!

Sure enough, Alice, lying on the ground, looked at Lian Yang and Baron with conflicted eyes. As for whether it was contempt, that's a matter of opinion.

Alice, lying on the ground, spoke up: "I really know you all very well!" Because of her stunning beauty, she had seen almost every kind of suitor from childhood to adulthood, and easily understood Lian Yang and Baron's intentions.

Lian Yang: "But you're such a beautiful woman who left a deep impression on us. My brother Baron said he doesn't even know your name yet!" Lian Yang's shamelessness has reached its peak, and he's practically cheating.

Alice rolled her eyes, thinking, "You can't just make things up when nobody's around! Baron's been standing there looking all nervous, when has he ever asked my name?" Though she was thinking this, she said aloud, "My name is Alice, a gunner from the heavens." Suddenly noticing Baron staring at her, Alice assumed he was about to grope her and her expression changed drastically: "Hey, what are you looking at! You trying to grope me?!"

Baling rubbed his hair: "Where's your weapon? That big cannon. I can't find it."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief and rolled her eyes: "It's a secret!" She'd been asked the same question countless times in Arad. At first, she'd try to explain, but then she realized the technological differences between the two places were too great to explain. So Alice's official answer became—it's a secret!

After a brief chat, they had become somewhat familiar with each other. Lian Yang and Baron learned that Alice was a gunner who had accidentally fallen from the Celestial Sea into the Arad Continent. Of course, what saddened Baron the most was that Alice actually liked girls and beautiful women.

Alice also learned that Lian Yang was a swordsman, and Baron was a berserker with the curse of Kazan on his left hand. Of course, as for how the two became friends, Alice, seeing that the two were both suffering from the same deep-seated chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), didn't need to ask to know.
