"Have you seen the latest news?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"How could I not? It's no longer as simple as just losing members" the old man smiled bitterly.
"What else happened?" Gu Qing Shan became cautious.
"The World Layer where God Institute is located has suddenly broken free from the restraints of space and is heading towards our Spire Keeper Association's HQ" the old man replied.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly looked at him.
The old man waved his hand helplessly and said: "The distance is very far, it'll probably be a few hours before the two worlds collide, so after I'm done with your business, I'll have to close the door and return"
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "I'm sorry to hear that, but unfortunately, I'm too weak to be of much help"
"I'm very grateful that you have such a thought" the old man was glad: "Our world is very close to the 900 million World Layers alliance, many Combatants of the 900 million World Layers will come to help"
"Then I'll quickly buy everything I need so that it won't take up too much of your time"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "This is my companion's first time entering the 900 million World Layers, please give her a knowledge-type spell that will allow her to instantly learn a language"
"You're going to the Strife Zones?"
"Yes, we have to check in within an hour"
"There's probably no time to learn slowly, so we can only use the most expensive book"
The old man took out a small, intricate book from the shelf.
"This book will allow you to instantly learn about 3000 common languages, but it's also quite expensive. Seeing as you're an esteemed friend of our association, I can give you a generous discount"
"How much?"
"9%"
"Can't it be any cheaper?"
"This is already the biggest discount I can offer, sir, I really can't go any lower"
"A perfect discount! I'm very grateful! Then — — - please put it on my tab, Justice Iron Fist Club, Gu Qing Shan "
"…"
The old man's expression became a bit more bitter.
He tried to hold it in, but couldn't help but ask: "Wait a minute! You're only giving it to this friend of yours once, right? "
"Yes"
"Then you don't need to buy such an expensive book"
"Then what should I do?"
"I remember we once gave you a blue book."
"Yes, but this book can only be used by one person."
As Gu Qing Shan spoke, she reached into her storage pouch and took out the book.
The old man grabbed it, stroked it, and chanted an incantation in a low voice.
"Alright, I've given you another permission. You can let your friend take this book and quickly comprehend the various languages in it."
"You don't need to buy anymore?"
"You are our esteemed guest. If you have to pay for everything, then you are treating us like outsiders."
"How generous! I don't even know how to thank you. "
"You're welcome. Please take a look outside. There are three more bookstores on this road. Next time, please visit them. That would be my greatest gratitude."
"Oh, okay, goodbye."
"Goodbye. You're welcome to visit the other bookstores."
The old man sent the two of them out and hurriedly closed the door with a bang.
Gu Qing Shan led Ning Yuechan outside.
He gave the blue book to Ning Yuechan.
"What should I do?" Ning Yuechan asked.
"As long as you hold it in your hand, it will tell you all the languages of the various worlds — — - there are too many languages in the 900 million World Layers, so it would take you about 100 breaths' worth of time to learn a few billion languages"
"…" Ning Yuechan.
She hugged the blue book tightly to her chest.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then said: "Don't throw this book away after you use it, I'll probably be able to use it to help other people learn languages"
"I understand. Also, I noticed that you didn't pay just now, did you?" Ning Yuechan asked.
"My name is money" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Ning Yuechan opened her eyes wide as she stared at him, as if trying to leave a deep impression.
While walking forward, Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice: "Ah, that's right, this is also the first time I've experienced this feeling … it's so memorable"
They quickly reached the checkpoint of the sentry outpost.
The procedure to clear the checkpoint was very simple.
In front of the checkpoint counter, a man in military uniform received their cards, stamped them with a stamp, then returned them to them.
After finishing his work, the man took out a small green card and asked in a low voice: "I can arrange a good spot for newcomers here, do you want to buy it?"
"You can arrange things in the Strife Zones? Doesn't that mean newcomers can directly carry that [Order]? "Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Seeing that he was interested, the man patiently explained: "The Strife Zones have a total of 200 million World Layers, of course we don't have that ability, but we're already very familiar with the first zone where newcomers are active. We know which zones have the most Black Demon Goats, as well as which zones are easier to kill, so we can directly transport you to those zones!"
Black Demon Goats were the weakest type of monster in the Strife Zones, usually appearing in the newcomer zone.
Newcomers can only be carried by the [Order] by killing Black Demon Goats.
— — -that is an [Order] created by the Old Gods, it doesn't harm living beings at all, and it can even help living beings evolve and improve.
But of course — — you have to make it interested in you first.
As a newcomer, the only way to make it interested is to kill a large number of Black Demon Goats.
The more you kill, the easier it will be for the [Order] to notice you.
The man continued in a low voice: "This is the best way to quickly clear the first zone, do you want to buy it?"
Gu Qing Shan also whispered: "I don't have any money, can I put it on the tab for now?"
The man looked at Gu Qing Shan as if he was looking at a great mountain.
Put it on the tab …
This young man has such a bright future.
After thinking for a bit, the man nodded: "If your organization has a good reputation, it's not impossible"
"Then that's easy, I'm a member of the Justice Iron Fist Club, my name is — — -"
The Justice Iron Fist Club!
As soon as he said that, the man couldn't help but tremble.
He cut off Gu Qing Shan's words and sternly told her: "We don't accept any bribes, nor do we sell any information to you, this is an important measure to ensure fair competition"
He waved his hand with an expression of righteousness, ushering the two of them through the checkpoint.
After passing the checkpoint, they arrived at the waiting room.
This room was filled with humanoid creatures of all shapes and sizes, all of them holding a green card in their hands.
With this green card, they would be sent to the area where it was easiest to kill Black Demon Goats.
They looked at Gu Qing Shan and Ning Yuechan, seeing that they didn't have a green card, they all mocked them.
"Two poor bastards"
"Brainless, not even knowing how to fight for such benefits"
"Don't say anything, just let them slowly stay in the first zone"
"Ahaha, who cares about them, we'll quickly pass through anyway"
"Don't look at them, there's no point in paying attention to these blockheads"
These creatures were quickly talking to each other.
Gu Qing Shan led Ning Yuechan to a corner and sat down.
"You seemed to have angered that staff member just now" Ning Yuechan commented.
"Hm, he didn't allow me to put it on the tab" Gu Qing Shan regretfully replied.
"I can understand what you're talking about now — – so we won't have any advantages after we go in?"
"Only in the beginning, because the Strife Zones aren't something that anyone can control, they can only give us a small advantage at the start" Gu Qing Shan replied.
At this point, a green man sitting in front of him loudly laughed: "A small advantage? Don't you know how many idiots stayed in the first zone for 7-8 years without being able to leave? "
His companion replied: "Don't say that, he's also an idiot"
Everyone else laughed without restraint.
"Shut up, all of you!" a loud voice resounded.
Everyone went silent.
A staff member came in and looked at the cards in everyone's hands.
He began to arrange everyone.
"You, you, and the rest of you, come with me, the warp point has been confirmed"
The others stood up and followed him.
A few moments later, the staff member came in again and led the newcomers to the warp point.
Gu Qing Shan observed for a bit and found that the newcomers with green cards were given priority.
While the newcomers who didn't have cards were still waiting in their seats.
"What do we do now?" Ning Yuechan asked.
"Let's wait, these things don't really matter" Gu Qing Shan sighed and said.
A few moments later, after everyone had been warped, it was finally the turn of the newcomers without cards.
The staff member led them to the warp point and spoke with an indescribable tone: "I hope you'll have a good time in the first zone"
"What does he mean by that?" an ignorant newcomer asked the person next to him.
"He's saying that we won't be able to pass the first zone" another newcomer angrily replied.
The screen of light flashed.
The last group of newcomers disappeared from the warp point.
…
The Strife Zones.
The first zone.
Mountains. Plains. The war had begun.
In the empty city gate tower.
Groups of newcomers suddenly appeared and landed on top of the city walls.
These city walls were quite far away from each other and were separated by a large energy barrier, so they couldn't connect to each other and could only watch from afar.
Below the city walls, a group of black goat-headed demons noticed the change in the world.
They angrily roared and charged towards the city walls.
These goat-headed demons were the Black Demon Goats.
They were a type of evil monster that used the power of blood and slaughter as nutrients for their evolution. They were cruel by nature and showed no mercy to any other living beings.
As soon as the newcomers arrived at the city walls, they immediately entered an urgent battle.
They had to protect the city walls and kill these Black Demon Goats with everything they had.
If they performed well, they would attract the attention of the [Order] and be loaded.
"Kill — — -"
The newcomers roared and declared their will to fight.
The flames of war raged everywhere, the sounds of killing could be heard everywhere, enough to make anyone's blood boil.
Gu Qing Shan was also standing on top of one of the city walls.
He cupped his hand and looked afar.
However — — -
The city wall that he and Ning Yuechan were on was located on top of a steep mountain.
The Black Demon Goats were focused on attacking the city walls on the plains, so they weren't interested in the city walls on top of this mountain.
There were so many city walls on the plains, who would be willing to climb up such a high mountain to attack a city wall on such a steep terrain?
This was a matter of course.
Ning Yuechan was an experienced General, so as soon as she looked at the mountain, then at the battle situation on the plains, she immediately understood the situation.
It wasn't just her, the newcomers who were transported here all showed expressions of grief and indignation.
"They purposely placed us here" one of the newcomers called out.
Feathers sprouted from his body and turned into a pair of wings, he leapt into the air and flew towards the plains.
Bam!
With a loud sound of impact, the newcomer crashed into the barrier and bounced back.
This was an isolation barrier set up by the [Order], the newcomers weren't strong enough to break it.
Ning Yuechan put the Blade in her hand away and shook her head: "We can't leave, and the monsters won't come, are we really going to stay here and do nothing?"
"Of course not" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Ning Yuechan's eyes lit up and asked: "You've always had a lot of wicked ideas, what do you have in mind?"
Gu Qing Shan sighed and replied: "There's only one problem in front of us that needs to be solved"
As soon as he said that, he caught the attention of all the newcomers around him.
"What problem?" Ning Yuechan looked at him and asked.
"Conquer, or be conquered"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan pulled out the [War God Title] option from the War God UI.
— — -he quickly found the title he needed.
