BXBX NOVEL Chapter 49
Zhang Shan went to pack his luggage and prepared to move into their building. Jiang Qianyue had rented another apartment, so she naturally could not stay with them.
The four of them were silent on the way.
“Sister Qianyue, why didn’t you tell Brother Zhang Shan directly? I think he’s a good person, and this is an unfortunate situation for him. Chu Bai has already made it clear to him, but he still doesn’t understand. This is too difficult.”
Lu Yufan looked like she was going crazy.
Jiang Qianyue then added, “As outsiders, how can we talk to him about such things?”
After a moment of silence, Jiang Qianyue said, “We’re considered friends now, right? It should be fine for friends to remind each other about this, right?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Brother Zhang Shan is so pitiful. His daughter isn’t his, and his wife is lying to him. He doesn’t even realize that his wife is a bad person even after Chu Bai reminded him. She must be bullying Brother Zhang Shan because she saw that he was an honest man. I can’t stand it anymore.”
Lu Yufan nodded.
“Why don’t we just forget about it?” Yu Qingyu said.
“Sister Qingyu, what’s wrong?”
Yu Qingyu said, “Let’s not get involved in other people’s family matters. Every family has their own difficulties...”
Jiang Qianyue nodded. “Mm, I think so too. Besides, I don’t think Brother Zhang Shan really doesn’t know. We’ve already hinted and made it clear. Even if he really didn’t know the first time we had a meal together, he definitely knows this time. He’s not stupid. How could he not understand what Chu Bai said?”
Chu Bai nodded and said, “I think so too. He didn’t say it out loud because he wanted to save face. Besides, we’re outsiders. He knows what he should do. Brother Zhang Shan just didn’t say it out loud. He was just pretending to be a fool.”
Chu Bai did not think that Zhang Shan did not understand. After all, even a fool would understand.
“I understand.”
...
Midnight.
[Ding. Welcome to Fate.]
[Ding. Global announcement: due to the enthusiasm of the players, from now on, players can be online 24 hours a day, but please take a rest.]
Whoosh!
The system announcement at midnight immediately drew cheers from the crowd!
“F*ck! I can finally be online 24 hours a day! I’m not as lucky as those big shots, and I’m not as strong as them, but I’ll kill you all! Sooner or later, I’ll be able to open up a path of blood!”
“Level up, level up! Charge! The level rankings, here I come!”
“God Bai Ye is probably online, right? I feel like he’s about to leave the starter village.”
“He’ll be able to leave the starter village after completing the trial. He’ll definitely be the first player to leave the village.”
...
Chu Bai was rather calm when he heard the system notification.
He scanned his surroundings.
The number of players exploded.
[Ding. You’ve obtained a new skill through Unlimited Ultimate Skills-Sudden Strike.]
[Sudden Strike: obtained randomly from Unlimited Ultimate Skills. Choose a target and stab it with 200% speed, causing 150% damage. No cooldown, no consumption. Remaining time: one day.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
“F*ck! I was just about to participate in the trial and you randomly gave me such a weak skill?”
This skill was much weaker than the two skills he had obtained before.
“Forget it, I’ll go find the village chief first.”
Then, Chu Bai hurried to the village chief’s courtyard!
“Brother Bai Ye!”
When the village chief saw Chu Bai, he smiled and waved his hand, then abandoned the other players at the side.
“Come, let’s chat in my room.”
The two of them entered the house.
“Chief, I’m here for the trial to leave the village and also for the big secret you mentioned.”
Chu Bai got straight to the point.
“Yes, I know. Let’s do it one by one. First, I’ll tell you the secret of the village.”
Chu Bai nodded.
The village chief then fell into his memories.
“There’s a chaos bead in our village.”
Chu Bai revealed a shocked expression.
A chaos bead?
He was too familiar with this name! This was something he had to find!
The God Slaying Calamity originated from the seven evils. In addition, it also required three chaos beads, which were the origin of its power.
He never thought that there would be a chaos bead in Starter Village 7777.
“Village chief, are you sure?”
The village chief nodded. “Of course, I’m sure. I’m the only one who knows about this. I’m not sure which of the three chaos beads it is. However, no matter which one it is, as long as anyone can get their hands on it, it’ll be a shocking upgrade. After all, it’s a legendary divine item.”
...
Chu Bai then asked, “Where’s the chaos bead?”
The village chief shook his head. “I don’t know. I’m sure that the chaos bead is somewhere in the village. During the War of the Gods, the chaos beads were controlled by the Demon God. To be more precise, the chaos beads were embedded in a sword called the God Slaying Calamity.
“I don’t really remember what the God Slaying Calamity looks like. After all, I couldn’t get close to the level of their battle, so I couldn’t see it clearly. I only remember that it looked like a red-black sword.”
Chu Bai was speechless.
” remember hearing about that sword before. It’s a sword of unknown origin, and it seems to have existed since the beginning of the world. It’s extremely terrifying, and it’s one of the most terrifying forces in the world. Even the three goddesses are afraid of it, and it has the power to kill gods.”
“This sword has several cores of power. Back then, the Demon God searched all over the world, and it seemed that he only found one-third of them. Even so, it already possesses heaven-defying power, and anyone who touches it will die. The three goddesses and the masters of the four races are no match for it at all.
“In that great war, the continent was divided into five sections. It was because the Demon God was trapped by the gods’ great formation formed by the experts of various races. He used the God Slaying Calamity to forcefully break the great formation and split the continent into five.”
Chu Bai was speechless.
“After that, the Demon God was defeated by the combined forces. The God Slaying Calamity had nowhere to go, and its power cores were scattered all over the world.
The village chief continued, “At that time, I saw one of the chaos beads and chased after it. The one who chased after it with me was the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor. We managed to catch up to the chaos bead, and after a bloody battle, both of us were severely injured. After that, we were brought into this village by a powerful force.
“I fell unconscious after I entered, but before I fell unconscious, I saw the chaos bead fall, so the chaos bead must be in the village.”
...
“In which direction?” Chu Bai asked.
The village chief shook his head awkwardly. “I was already unconscious at that time. I thought of the chaos bead the first thing when I woke up, but I couldn’t tell which direction I was in before I fell unconscious. I only remember that it was very far away from me, and it might even be an unexplored place. After that, I searched for a long time, but I couldn’t even find the pit that was created when I fell at such high speeds.”
Chu Bai rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, “In other words, I’ll have to search for the chaos bead bit by bit.”
Now, he was in a hurry to leave the village because the first few players who left the starter village would receive a big reward.
“I can only come back to look for it in the future,” Chu Bai said.
“Come back?”
The village chief shook his head. “I don’t know how to come back. After you go out, you shouldn’t be able to come back again. This is the enchantment and law created by the three goddesses. No one can break it.”
Chu Bai frowned.
He could only continue to search aimlessly, then?
“Oh right! Miss Huang from the pharmacy came to the village 15 years ago. You can ask her. Since she could appear in the village, it means that there’s indeed a way to get here.”
Chu Bai’s eyes lit up.
“Right! I’ll go find her now. Village Chief, I’ll come back immediately for the trial in the starter village.”
“Good! Quickly go and come back! To you adventurers from another world, this period of time is very important.”
Chu Bai nodded and went to the pharmacy.
