Fang Xiu only had four days in this Gate World.
Fortunately, today was the first day.
And Fang Xiu had entered this Special Gate World less than an hour ago.
There was still plenty of time to go.
After all, the distance wasn’t very far.
If he hadn’t run into Ye Fan here, Fang Xiu might have hunted Demon Beasts while slowly searching.
After all, the resources here also seemed to be very abundant.
But now that he had a goal, Fang Xiu didn’t want to turn back just like that.
Fang Xiu didn’t need to factor in the return trip at all.
After all, Li Mu had said four days.
So Fang Xiu would stay inside for four days.
As for the time to go back, Fang Xiu didn’t want to count that.
’What a waste of time that would be.’
However, Li Mu and the others must have considered that some Awakened might enter this Gate World and not want to leave.
This Special Gate World was so large; one could just find a random place and hide.
They would definitely not be found.
So, they must have a special method to make any Awakened who wanted to hide here leave the Special Gate World.
Fang Xiu felt this was not something he needed to worry about.
"Let’s go. We’ll head straight to the central region and look for those special places!"
Fang Xiu said to Ye Fan beside him.
"Alright, I’ll go with you. But the last place I reached already had Level 40 Demon Beasts. I suspect that Demon Beast from earlier started tailing me back then. It seemed to be toying with me, just following me all the way!"
Ye Fan said to Fang Xiu.
"I could tell. It managed to knock down a tree with precision every single time. If it wasn’t toying with you, I wouldn’t believe it!"
Fang Xiu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ye Fan also gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.
He couldn’t figure out why that Level 40 Demon Beast’s intelligence was so high.
If it really had followed him from that area all the way here, watching him try to leave through the Gate World’s portal, only attacking him then... then the intelligence of the Demon Beasts in this Special Gate World was much higher than that of Demon Beasts in other Gate Worlds.
Ye Fan had thought of this.
And Fang Xiu had thought of it too.
"What an interesting place. Not only the Level, Power, and intelligence of the Demon Beasts are much higher!"
Fang Xiu said with a smile.
"Right, this Special Gate World really is special!"
Ye Fan stated the obvious.
Fang Xiu didn’t reply.
The two of them headed towards the central region, hunting Demon Beasts along the way.
"Netherworld Thunder Fall!"
Fang Xiu killed them directly with a Skill.
And Ye Fan would fight directly with his body.
Ye Fan’s strength was also decent; he could fight any Demon Beast below Level 30.
But when Fang Xiu watched him fight, he relied on brute force. It seemed... he only had two Skills.
’Only two Skills at Level 40?’
Fang Xiu was lost in thought.
’It seems this Ye Fan is not someone content with being ordinary.’
’But from the looks of it, he doesn’t have enough Points!’
"Uncle Ye Fan, your Power is sufficient, so why do you only have two Skills!"
Although Fang Xiu had already guessed, he still asked directly.
Still dissecting the Demon Beast, Ye Fan replied without turning his head, "I want to be like you and have better Skills. When I had my Awakening, I got C Level Talent. It’s not bad, but I don’t know how far I can go in the future."
Pausing here, Ye Fan continued, "I can already feel my Cultivation speed has dropped a lot. If this goes on, I might struggle to even reach Level 50. That’s why I need powerful Skills, so I can hunt more Demon Beasts in the future!"
It was just as Fang Xiu had guessed.
Ye Fan’s Talent was decent, and his Cultivation was diligent.
But Talent more or less determined one’s future achievements.
Unless one had a fortuitous encounter, it was very difficult to improve.
However, if one’s Skills were more powerful, their combat strength at the same Level would be much greater.
This was what Ye Fan wanted.
"Uncle, from now on when we hunt Demon Beasts, there are some items I don’t want. You can take them all. Just leave the Demon Cores for me."
Fang Xiu said to Ye Fan.
It wasn’t just that the Demon Beast corpses were troublesome to deal with and Fang Xiu didn’t want them.
There were also some relatively Low Level materials dropped by the Demon Beasts.
Some were for Artifact Refining, others for Alchemy. To Fang Xiu, they were all useless.
Naturally, Fang Xiu didn’t want them.
"Huh? That won’t do. Didn’t we agree before? The good stuff goes to you, and I just take the Demon Beast corpses!"
Ye Fan refused outright.
Fang Xiu shook his head. "It’s fine. I don’t want that stuff. My backpack space is limited, I can’t carry that much!"
Fang Xiu said, making up a casual excuse.
Hearing this, Ye Fan hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Thank you!"
After that, they encountered quite a few Demon Beasts along the way.
However, they were all acting alone.
And most were around Level 10+ or Level 20.
Fang Xiu couldn’t even be bothered to act, letting Ye Fan handle them directly.
"It’s very quiet here. Be careful!"
When Fang Xiu and the others reached a certain place, Ye Fan suddenly gave a reminder.
"Mm!"
Fang Xiu had been hunting Demon Beasts for a while now.
At this moment, he could also sense that something was amiss.
Although the Demon Beasts here were scattered quite far apart, Fang Xiu could still detect the movements of many Demon Beasts.
Demon Beasts passed by from time to time, but most of them just ran away immediately.
Fang Xiu didn’t have time to chase them.
After all, any Demon Beast that would run away at the sight of them wouldn’t be very high Level.
Naturally, Fang Xiu wasn’t interested.
But now, the surroundings were unnervingly quiet.
Obviously, either the Demon Beast here was so powerful that it kept all other Demon Beasts away, or the Demon Beasts here had been cleared out by someone else.
Someone else being here wasn’t always a good thing.
After all, it was a very common occurrence for many Awakened to die inside Gate Worlds.
"Uncle Ye Fan, I want to ask you something. When you guys entered this Special Gate World, were you required to keep your cameras on the whole time?"
Fang Xiu asked, pinching his badge.
"Yes!"
Ye Fan nodded.
Before entering this Special Gate World, someone had told him he needed to keep his camera on the entire time.
So Ye Fan had kept it on the whole time.
"Then have there been any Awakened in this Special Gate World who died, but not from being killed by a Demon Beast?"
Fang Xiu asked another question.
Hearing this, Ye Fan was slightly taken aback.
He shook his head. "I haven’t heard of anything like that before."
’Seems like the people in this Special Gate World are quite good at following the rules!’
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
Since everyone followed the rules, Fang Xiu didn’t need to be too worried.
After all, at least with the cameras on, people wouldn’t attack randomly.
Otherwise, they might lose the opportunity to enter this Special Gate World in the future.
TAP TAP TAP!
Just then, the sound of footsteps rang out.
Fang Xiu and Ye Fan both looked over.
Sure enough, a short while later, a woman walked over from a distance.
The woman had a slender figure and exquisite features, rivaling even Lu Yu’Er, whom Fang Xiu had previously Sacrificed.
Judging by her appearance, though, this woman seemed to be a few years older than Lu Yu’Er.
"Ying Qingying?"
The moment he saw the woman, Ye Fan blurted out her name.
"Huh? You know her?"
Fang Xiu asked, somewhat surprised.
Ye Fan nodded slightly. "Yeah, she was our school beauty back in high school. Later, because her Talent was good and her strength was high, she transferred to a school in another province. I never thought I’d see her here!"
"High school? School beauty?"
Fang Xiu was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Uncle, how old are you?"
"Forty-two!"
Ye Fan didn’t hide it and answered directly.
Fang Xiu looked at Ye Fan, then at Ying Qingying. ’These two were classmates?’
"Is she forty-two as well?"
Fang Xiu asked, looking at Ying Qingying.
"Don’t get the wrong idea. Although we went to the same high school, we weren’t in the same grade."
Ye Fan explained, "Back then, I was a freshman, and she was a senior. She should be two years older than me!"
Fang Xiu was speechless.
’Good heavens.’
This Ying Qingying before him looked like she was in her early twenties.
Who could imagine that someone with this appearance was actually a forty-four-year-old woman?
If Ye Fan hadn’t said anything, Fang Xiu would have believed it if someone told him Ying Qingying was twenty-five!
"She’s maintained her looks so well. That face has barely changed!"
Ye Fan said, looking at Ying Qingying.
Fang Xiu nodded. "’Maintained her looks well?’ This is beyond that."
At this moment, Ying Qingying had already walked up close to the two of them.
"Senior Sister Ying!"
Ye Fan looked at Ying Qingying and quickly greeted her.
Ying Qingying frowned slightly and spoke coolly, "And you are?"
"Ahem, my name is Ye Fan. I went to the same high school as you, Senior Sister, Lianjiang City First High School. I’ve long heard of your name!"
Ye Fan said, a bit awkwardly.
Back then, he had quite a crush on Ying Qingying.
"Oh, Ye Fan? I seem to have heard that name. Lianjiang City? I think Lianjiang City had one spot for this Special Gate World, and that person was named Ye Fan. Is that you?"
Ying Qingying nodded slightly, seeming to recall.
"Yes, that’s me!"
Ye Fan answered hurriedly.
"Heh, Lianjiang City really is backward. Good thing I left back then. After all these years, its strongest is actually just a Level 40 Power Awakener."
As she spoke, Ying Qingying’s face filled with disdain, and she sneered.
Hearing this, Ye Fan’s expression changed. "Senior Sister, you’re from Lianjiang City too. There’s no need to..."
"Pah! My residency was transferred out long ago. If I were still considered a person from Lianjiang City, would it be your turn to come to this Gate World? I’m already Level 53."
Before Ye Fan could finish, Ying Qingying retorted directly.
Hearing this, Fang Xiu’s brows furrowed as well.
’This woman is actually Level 53.’
Just then, Ying Qingying also noticed Fang Xiu and said coolly, "Only one person can enter a Gate World. You actually broke the rules and brought your son in?"
Before Fang Xiu or Ye Fan could react, she spoke again, "I didn’t expect someone as ugly as you could have such a delicate son. He’s not your biological son, is he?"
Hearing this, neither Fang Xiu’s nor Ye Fan’s expressions were pleasant.
And at that very moment, Fang Xiu discovered that his long-silent system finally had a notification.
The Sacrifice target was none other than the "school beauty" before him, Ying Qingying!
