Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

The transaction was completed quickly.

After severing the contract connection, Xiao Yun opened his eyes, his expression complex:

"I thought it was all an act, but I never imagined that Moon's personality was actually this chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur)..."

Thinking about the farce that had just happened, Xiao Yun rubbed his temples wearily.

"But thankfully, even though he's a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), he still has a brain. At least he knows that Mr. Ta isn't very reliable."

Of course, it's also possible that Mr. Tower failed to come up with a solution to the Palace of Illusion and Reality, which greatly reduced his trust level.

"In this way, we can say that we've formed an alliance on the surface, but we can't start the White Tower campaign so hastily."

Just now, Xiao Yun tried to search for information about the White Pagoda using the system again, but failed once more.

"It could be a characteristic of the White Tower itself, or it could be that Mr. Tower is still hiding his power, but in any case, it is too dangerous to explore now. We should at least wait until the seventh sequence."

"Moreover, although today's transaction was kept secret from Mr. Tower, as the controller of the Gray Fog, it's impossible for him to be completely unaware of it."

Xiao Yun lowered his head and pondered, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

What appears to be a peaceful tarot gathering is actually rife with undercurrents.

Mr. Tower wants to help Xiao Yun and the others recover quickly, while Moon and the others want to use Mr. Tower's power to quickly improve their strength. Of course, there are also those who, like Xiao Yun, want to seize the White Tower.

"None of them are easy to deal with..."

Xiao Yun sighed softly, clearing his mind of his chaotic thoughts, and lay down to rest.

The remaining half of the night passed quickly.

At dawn, a ray of sunlight pierced the night sky.

In the ancient city, a vast storm of illusion and reality quietly descends, the howling winds of illusion and reality making the already difficult-to-explore foggy area even more eerie.

Many exploration teams stranded outside were caught off guard and lost in the storm. They were swept away by the gale and entered the illusory palace at the very center of the storm, never to be seen again.

At the same time, at the entrance of Wuyou Township, a door suddenly burst open.

The group stumbled out and, upon seeing the gate to their own area, all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"They're back! They're really back!"

"Thank God!"

"What God's blessing? We were able to escape with our lives thanks to Hua Wuye's method."

The Minister of Security grinned widely, patted Hua Wuye heavily on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up:

"Hua Zi, not bad! I'll give you a promotion and a raise when we get back!"

Hua Wuye's eyes lit up, and he swallowed back the humble words he was about to utter.

"Hehehe, thank you very much, Minister. I won't be polite!"

He has indeed suffered heavy losses recently. He used up all his accumulated contribution points to borrow the cursed artifact, and he also exhausted his last reserves to rescue the people of the fallen Wuyou Village.

"Don't mention it, you deserve it."

Minister of the Ministry of Security patted Hua Wuye on the shoulder again, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

As the person involved, he certainly knew how much Hua Wuye had sacrificed.

A method of dubious origin, seemingly conceived on a whim, is unlikely to be believed by most, let alone have any resources provided.

He didn't even believe it at first, but in the end, he had no other choice but to try it as a last resort.

Even now, when he thinks back to what just happened, he still feels like he's dreaming.

"At dawn, the illusory becomes real, and a portal is constructed... If it weren't for Hua Wuye, even if everyone in Wuyou Township tried for a lifetime, they might not have been able to discover this method."

Using this method alone, Hua Wuye was able to gain a considerable amount of contribution points this time.

Watching Hua Wuye, surrounded by admirers and enjoying immense popularity, the Minister of Security's expression grew increasingly complex.

But I'm afraid Hua Wuye might not be able to get those contribution points.

Just then, the group arrived at the area gate and passed the identity verification.

Rumbling--

The gate slowly opened, and two teams of fully armed professionals stood on either side, along with all the other ministers of Wuyou Township.

Seeing everyone return safely, the people of Worry-Free Village visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's attention focused on Hua Wuye, who was at the head of the group.

"Oh, are you here to greet me? Oh, I'm a little embarrassed, haha..."

Hua Wuye chuckled twice, but then realized that the atmosphere was a bit off.

An invisible pressure surged in like a tide, and Hua Wuye nervously swallowed, forcing out a smile that was even more painful than bitterness.

"Uh...you guys are here to welcome me, right?"

Before he could finish speaking, two members of the Wu'an Department who were flattering him grabbed him from behind, and then various control skills came rushing in, instantly binding him like a dumpling.

"Hua Wuye, you concealed the guild leader's true whereabouts, causing the guild's main force to fall into a desperate situation."

"Furthermore, according to the investigation, you were wandering around the guild at 12:30 last night, acting suspiciously. You disappeared for more than an hour without explanation, and then returned with a method to escape the Palace of Illusion and Reality. The source of this information is unknown."

"For the safety of Wuyou Village, come with us."

Hearing the cold voice of the Minister of Criminal Law and seeing that lifeless face, Hua Wuye trembled and almost cried.

"No, no, no! I am a law-abiding citizen, a law-abiding citizen! My loyalty to Worry-Free Land is as clear as day! I am a very good person, I have been wronged! You cannot do this to me!"

"No, no, no! I am a law-abiding citizen, a law-abiding citizen! My loyalty to Worry-Free Land is as clear as day! I am a very good person, I have been wronged! You cannot do this to me!"

"Minister, Minister, save me! I can't die! I still have the mission the president gave me!"

"I shed blood for Worry-Free Land, I rendered service to Worry-Free Land, I want to see the Chairman, I want to see the Chairman!"

On the other side, the Utopia Guild building.

Wu Haowen was eating breakfast when he suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

Upon opening it, a high-priority message appeared before my eyes.

"Wu... because of your #*#*#*, you are hereby awarded... Return immediately, but do not bring weapons."

"What reward? Could it be because Hua Zi went back, reported the situation to the chairman, and helped stabilize the situation in Wuyou Township, so this is what he received?"

Wu Haowen was delighted, but also somewhat puzzled:

"But is it really necessary to activate the emergency contact channel for just one reward? Activating that thing costs more than the reward itself, doesn't it?"

Just then, Gu Shen came over and patted him on the shoulder:

"Haozi, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, the Worry-Free Land gave me a mission reward and told me to hurry back."

"award?"

Gu Shen glanced at his phone, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"This reward... seems a bit too frivolous, doesn't it?"

"What?"

Gu Shen's muttering was too soft for Wu Haowen to hear.

"It's nothing..."

"oh."

Wu Haowen scratched his head, feeling somewhat confused.

"President, you said you contacted me through the emergency contact channel. Should I go back? This must be quite serious."

"Heh, if you were alright last night, you're unlikely to make it home today."

Gu Shen glanced at the pinned message on the Ideal Country Guild channel.

Xiao Yun: "There's a 'fantasy storm' looming over the next three days. All exploration activities within the fog are cancelled. All department heads, please notify all personnel stationed abroad to return as soon as possible!"

"The storm of reality and illusion wasn't started by me, plus the information Haozi received..."

Gu Shen instantly regained his composure and sighed inwardly:

"Something's happened in the Land of No Worries..."

but.

"What does this have to do with me? I can't go back now."

Moreover, if Worry-Free Land cannot function without itself, then it has no reason to exist and should be dissolved on the spot and merged into Ideal State.

"I can't have all the people I pick out harboring malicious intentions like Qi Huiming."

Gu Shen chuckled inwardly, raised the cup to his lips, took a sip of the steaming soy milk, and patted Wu Haowen on the shoulder.

"Stay put and don't worry, the sky won't fall."

Hearing his chairman's words, Wu Haowen relaxed and nodded.

Gu Shen waved his hand, turned around, and shouted loudly:

"Ah Yun, Ah Yun! Didn't you say you'd take me to visit [Truth Bookstore]? When are we leaving?"

"Wait for me a moment, I'll be right there."

In the work area, Xiao Yun responded and took out the refined ore from the furnace.

[Mica Copper], [Cold Iron], [Azure Leaf Aluminum]... and even a small piece of Mithril, all of which were the best selected from the ores given by the warriors, with the lowest grade being B-.

"I wonder if these ores can upgrade the Mithril Sword to B+."

Xiao Yun looked forward to it, picking up pieces of ore and bringing them closer to the mithril sword.
