His second son's life was very much like that of a prodigal son in movies and novels. He was born unruly and rebellious. He rejected his family's arranged marriage and left home without a care in the world. Later on, he married a waitress in a fast food restaurant overseas and had a son. His actions infuriated the old man, and he simply pretended that he never had a son.
Therefore, after his second son left the family, the old man handed over all the business to his eldest son. He wanted his eldest son to have more children so that he could choose a more suitable successor. However, he did not expect that his eldest son only had one son, and he died in a car accident when he was young and strong. The grief of seeing his grandson die before his own, made the old man devote all his energy to raising his eldest grandson. However, the old man was not very satisfied with this grandson. He always felt that he lacked a little shrewdness in doing business.
It was at this time that the old man received another piece of bad news. His second son, who had been living overseas, had died in the fire. His wife and son were the only ones left behind.
Although he used to be very angry with his youngest son's behavior, blood was thicker than water. In addition, the old man also wanted to see how talented the child was, so he secretly went abroad and met the child in private. After a few months of getting along, he found that the child had more qualities of an heir than his eldest grandson, so he was very happy. However, the old man was worried that the child would develop a bad habit of living frugally, so he placed the child in the care of an ordinary family. The only difference was that he was more careful when choosing a school.
Just like that, the two children grew up without knowing each other. They studied, worked, and studied until the launch of Fate.
The old man, who had always been doing traditional business, was very optimistic about this new industry before the launch of Fate. He even planned to invest 60% of his assets into the game. He let The Setting Sun enter the game first. At first, the old man was very satisfied with the development of Blade of Steel, and had even decided to let The Setting Sun inherit the guild. However, The Setting Sun had a falling out with Ye Ci. If the old man was unhappy with this, then the fall in the guild's reputation and the falling out with Ye Ci infuriated the old man.
He expressed extreme anger at The Setting Sun's stupidity. It was also at this time that he announced the existence of another child, another successor, and let him enter the game. From then on, the two began their official confrontation.
This time, clearing the Castle Ruins wouldn't determine who would be the successor. However, it was still an extremely important wind vane. Therefore, both of them were determined to win.
"That person is Unbridled Willow, right?" Ye Ci let out a yawn after listening to the gossip that had nothing to do with her.
"Yes, yes, that's him." Green Hill's Moon nodded, "That's why I said that they're rivals."
Ye Ci nodded. As expected, this gossip had a huge impact on her plans. It even overturned her original plan. She suddenly thought of another question, "Who is Zero Arsenic?"
"Oh, he's the head of the old man's secretaries, the old man's most trusted aide."
"He's not The Setting Sun's man?"
"Of course not, he's one of the old man's men."
"Then I thought he was very loyal to The Setting Sun."
"He's only loyal to the successor chosen by the old man." Green Hill's Moon lifted the cup in front of him and greedily took a whiff of the aroma. His words enlightened Ye Ci.
No wonder he wasn't by The Setting Sun's side today.
Ye Ci couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Green Hill's Moon looked at Gongzi You. The sunlight outside the window shone through the stained glass, making the light rays shine on her face. Her faint smile made her usually fierce face look very gentle. She was shockingly beautiful.
"What a tacky story." Ye Ci curled her lips, "I can make it up even if you want me to. That's how it's portrayed in novels, television, and movies."
"It is tacky. That's why people say that art comes from life, but it's also higher than life. " Green Hill's Moon agreed with Ye Ci's words. However, he was clearly more interested in the cup of wine in his hand. He narrowed his eyes and seemed to be enjoying it.
"Ordinary people like us can't understand the troubles of the rich."
Green Hill's Moon understood what Ye Ci meant. He laughed, "Money isn't a good thing. If it wasn't for him, it would really be …"
Ye Ci lowered her eyes and took out the remaining 500,000 gold coins. She threw it on the table, "I'm very satisfied with this gossip. Do your best next time."
Green Hill's Moon didn't hold back. His expression was very calm as he put away the money, "Of course."
His overly calm expression made Ye Ci feel strange, "You seem to be very confident that I'll give you the rest of the money."
"Of course. It's just like how I'm sure that I'll meet you somewhere." Green Hill's Moon stood up and walked out. He waved his hand as he walked out, "I'm leaving. Don't miss me too much."
He was indeed a smart person. Ye Ci smiled as she watched Green Hill's Moon's back. She liked to interact with smart people. Of course, it would be even better if he wasn't so thick-skinned.
Ye Ci cast her gaze out of the window after the door was shut. The golden sunlight was unforgettable. However, this was merely an ordinary afternoon.
Ye Ci retracted her gaze and looked up at the beautiful mural on the ceiling. The corner of her lips curled up. This is good news.
Her days were always so peaceful.
When she wasn't exploring new dungeons Up Everyday, Ye Ci had nothing to do. She would explore the maps that were rarely visited by players. She would be lucky if she could find a treasure chest that had never been opened before.
Mausoleum of Blades.
This map was the most deserted map in the entire Eastern Continent. Although the monsters here gave high experience points and quests, very few players came to this place.
The reason was actually very simple. Just like its name, it was as its name suggested. The Mausoleum of Blades was not only a hilly area with many mountains, but each mountain peak was as sharp as a blade. It was very easy to fall down from the top, and the result of that was death before one's eyes.
That was why this map was known as the most useless map in the entire Fate game. The monsters here were all level 40 +, and they were scattered all over the place. It was very suitable for a ranged player with good control. However, there were many ravines in the map, and there were no footholds. It was very difficult to travel from one spawn point to another. Players would need to be at least lvl 80 to be able to travel around the map.
If Ye Ci remembered correctly, after everyone reached lvl 80 in her previous life, Fate released a patch that increased the level cap to 120. It also removed the flight system. In that patch, players were able to travel around the map without any obstacles.
However, if the flight system was only introduced at lvl 80, it meant that players could only travel around the map after they reached lvl 80. The monsters here were all level 40 +. That was why Ye Ci said that the map was useless. Ye Ci believed this saying in her previous life. However, in this life, Ye Ci began to doubt it.
Fate was a game that was created by the best players in the world. Why would such a stupid thing happen? Or was it because the players in her previous life were too naive and did not realize this fact at all? This was why Ye Ci felt that something was amiss after her reincarnation. She decided to take a look at the situation.
Ye Ci rode on Ol 'Four as they made their way through the steep cliffs of the mountain. She did not want to fall into a deep ravine and cause unnecessary damage to her mount. She thought as she ran. Perhaps someone had discovered the secret of this map in her previous life, but they never announced it to the public. That was why she did not know about it. This time, she must not miss out on the opportunity.
Along the way, she could see the monsters that were unique to the Blade Peak Mountains. They were One-eyed Giants. Their movement speed was not fast, but they had high attack power. They also liked to live alone. Therefore, if a capable ranged player wanted to train with them, they would be able to level up very quickly.
Ye Ci would never miss out on the opportunity. After a few days of careful investigation, Ye Ci had reached lvl42, even though she did not discover the secret. This was a rare occurrence for Ye Ci, who had not leveled up for a long time. Of course, other than exploring the Blade Peak Mountains, Ye Ci was also motivated by the fact that the number one player on the level leaderboard was now NightAndDay. Ye Ci did not know how NightAndDay managed to reach lvl34 in just a few months. This put a lot of pressure on Ye Ci.
For someone who had been reborn, someone who had seen through almost all the secrets of the game, it would be ironic if someone who had never been reborn caught up to her in terms of levels.
After running around in circles, Ye Ci still could not find any clues in the Blade Peak Mountains. Coincidentally, The Fourth Prince was so hungry that he was rolling around on the ground. Ye Ci stopped at a relatively flat hillside and began to feed the debt collector. At the same time, it was also a good way to make up for her hunger.
The Blade Peak Mountains were located at the northeast side of the Eastern Continent. It was one of the higher areas in the Eastern Continent. The wind was quite strong there. She tucked her messy hair behind her ear and took a sip of the spring water from the bottle. "Hmm … Hmm … Hmm … Hmm … Hmm … Hmm … Hmm … Hmm …"
Suddenly, her ears twitched.
The Elves were a race that was better at observing their surroundings than other races. Even the slightest movement of the wind could not escape their senses.
Just like now, Ye Ci tilted her head slightly to the side and listened attentively to what was going on behind her. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
