"So, what exactly is the Stars Ranking?"
Gu Nan brought Lin Yunyun and sat opposite of Land Marigold. He picked up the coffee that the waiter served and asked.
Land Marigold revealed a rare solemn expression, "Don't underestimate the Stars Ranking. This is the signature of the Central Star Region's super organization, Xinghai Pavilion … "
"Give me some more sugar, thank you." Gu Nan said to the waiter.
Bang!
Land Marigold slammed the table in anger, causing the coffee cups on the table to shake. Lin Yunyun lowered her head and her shoulders were shaking, as though she was holding it in.
After taking a few deep breaths, Land Marigold finally adjusted her emotions.
Even though she had previously ridiculed them, as a reincarnator, her reverence for an organization like Xinghai Pavilion was deep in her bones.
It was a pity that her reverence wasn't something that Gu Nan could experience.
To the players, there were only two types of NPC factions: those that could be flattened, and those that could be flattened in the future.
But after Land Marigold's introduction, Gu Nan finally understood the meaning of the Stars Ranking.
As the core strength of the Star Sea, Transcendents usually had a lot of privileges and would receive a lot of attention. The Stars Ranking was a ranking specially created for Transcendents. Because of its authority, it was very popular among martial artists.
After all, in this world, fame and fortune were what people sought in life. The Stars Ranking represented the top half.
In order to be on the Stars Ranking, apart from the hard condition of advancing into the Transcendence Realm, it was also based on one's ability and achievements, and not solely on one's cultivation level.
There were Transcendents of all cultivation levels on the Stars Ranking. There were even quite a number of Chaotic Primes, but most of them had their own trump cards and weren't easy to deal with.
Only those with outstanding abilities would be able to be on the Stars Ranking.
The Stars Ranking only recorded the experts who were still alive and whose strength was at the transcendental stage. Including Gu Nan, who was recently listed, there were only 461 names.
These 461 people represented the most powerful Transcendents in the entire Astral Realm.
To be able to make it onto the Stars Ranking in a remote region like the Ninth Star Region wasn't a small matter. It was no wonder that Lu Li and Guan Shanxue valued Gu Nan so much.
…
After parting ways with Land Marigold, Gu Nan brought Lin Yunyun back to his room. Not long after, an unexpected visitor came to visit.
"Young Master Lu? What a rare guest. "Gu Nan looked at Lu Li, who had been waiting here for an unknown amount of time.
Lu Li smiled and said, "Just call me Lu Li. I've long heard about Mr Gu from my younger brother. It's really better to meet him in person than to hear about him. "
"Oh?"
Before Gu Nan could think further, Lu Li took the initiative and said, "My younger brother is called Lu Wu."
"So it's him …" Gu Nan recalled that taciturn but abnormally sensitive youth. He might not know why he was in the Red Carp, but he was definitely not an ordinary person.
He didn't expect this person to be more important than he had imagined.
He then recalled that Land Marigold specially came over and asked him to take care of Lu Wu.
It seemed like she expected him to be suspicious and did it on purpose. This woman really didn't want to let go of any opportunity and wanted to find trouble for him.
Gu Nan's mind was spinning, but he didn't show it on his face, "Young Master Lu is looking for me?"
Lu Li spoke with an expressionless face, "Mr Gu, do you know that there are people in the 66 Amaterasu who have laid out an inescapable net and are just waiting for you to step on it?"
"So?" Gu Nan raised his brows and had the same expressionless face.
Gu Nan's attitude made Lu Li seem to have understood something. His face revealed a cold intent, "It seems like Mr Gu is very confident of your strength? I would like to remind you that that person has invited someone from the Stars Ranking to make a move … "
Gu Nan didn't say anything else and simply shook his head. He then led Lin Yunyun into the room and closed the door.
He never liked to explain to others.
Lu Li let out a sneer and similarly turned to leave. There was already someone waiting for him at the corner. It was actually Guan Shanxue who appeared earlier.
"What did he say?"
"Heh, he didn't even ask who was going to deal with him." Lu Li's face revealed a disdainful expression, "An arrogant lunatic. Hu Wei will let him know the price of arrogance."
…
The incident on Starship didn't have much of an impact.
Lu Huaiyun might have an extraordinary status in Lu's Family, but he still couldn't be compared to someone like Lu Li. After Lu Li personally paid a visit to Gu Nan, everyone understood Lu's Family's attitude towards Gu Nan.
Even though their conversation wasn't pleasant.
When the news of Gu Nan ascending the Stars Ranking got out, his reputation was truly resounding. Half of the Ninth Star Region had heard of him as the 'fastest breakthrough in a hundred years'.
Two days passed by quickly. Gu Nan was able to leave Starship and step onto the famous 66 Amaterasu.
If Red Carp was a typical modern city, then the city of 66 Amaterasu was more like a steel jungle.
"There aren't many residential areas in 66 Amaterasu. Hence, the city's utilization rate is very high." Land Marigold acted as a temporary tour guide and explained to Gu Nan and Lu Huaiyun.
"Even the air is being used?" Gu Nan said softly as he looked at the various strangely shaped buildings in the air.
"That's right. Those are all residences." Land Marigold shrugged her shoulders and said, "So you should understand that the ground level that you are staying in … is very expensive."
In this high martial arts world, it was rather dangerous to stay in the sky. Because you don't know, maybe one day two people will appear and break through the wall of your house.
Gu Nan was a distinguished guest of Lu's Family, which was why he was able to stay in the extremely precious ground level residences.
Of course, Gu Nan didn't really care about this. With his current physique, even if he was thrown down from a thousand meters in the sky, he could still stand up.
"Is there any news on the information that I asked you to investigate?" Gu Nan asked. He was referring to the information regarding the word "Max" that he had previously given to Land Marigold.
"We're still investigating. So far, we haven't found any valuable clues." Land Marigold said.
Gu Nan nodded. After all, he had just arrived at 66 Amaterasu not long ago. The people of Lu's Family wouldn't be so fast in their actions.
Asking the people of Lu's Family to help him investigate was something that he had planned for a long time. He was different from those who had clues but insisted on investigating by themselves. This kind of mechanical and unskilled work was not something that a professional player would do.
He wasn't afraid of anyone who dared to take his things … If there was such a person, he would just kill them and get his things back.
"Oh right." Land Marigold looked at Gu Nan strangely and said, "On the side of the Immortal and Demon World, Gu Nian and Yan Xiaoxiao are fighting …"
Long before the two of them left the Red Carp, Gu Nan had asked Land Marigold to arrange people to go to the Immortal and Demon World before they were reincarnated as their informants.
Of course, Gu Nan wasn't stupid enough to really hand over the Immortal and Demon World to Care For One's Family.
At this time, when Gu Nan heard this, he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he laughed out loud: "Good, let your people start spreading rumors. Just say that those outsiders from Care For One's Family want to destroy the Immortal and Demon World."
