Star Trace Gate

In the inn's side room, Fatty Wu, Yao Chi and others were laughing and chatting, only Ren Ye seemed to be in a trance, with his eyes slightly closed and a frozen expression.

His mind was recalling the star gate reminder, and his heart was filled with excitement and curiosity.

Originally, he planned to use the mouth of Qianli Green Camp and the power of the Lich Kingdom's court to enter the Bulao Mountain and investigate Master Guanfeng and others.

However, he never imagined that just as the plan was being implemented, this place would evolve into an SS-level star gate mission site, and he even received an invitation to join.

This made Ren feel as if his true colors were seen through by the heavens.

It's like a senior agent who has been preparing for more than 20 years, building relationships and gathering intelligence. He is just about to go to a small place to investigate the core filming technology of Yibendao. Unexpectedly, God suddenly calls him and says, "You don't have to prepare, just come over. I'll set up a game, and we can play together, and you can also watch it on the spot."

It's a strange feeling, isn't it?

Ren Ye sat on the chair, and after thinking for a while, he immediately used his consciousness to perceive the detailed information of this star gate.

After a moment, the brief information that the "Eternal Mountain" star gate could be publicly displayed to players appeared in his mind.

[Border Storm: Bulao Mountain: Level 3 Star Gate.]

[Mission difficulty: SS level.]

【Duration of the mission: 7-9 days.】

[Penalty mechanism: If the player wins, he will obtain the various special treasures and inheritances left by the latecomer; if the player fails: there is no death penalty, but the reward is less. Special reminder: During the mission, this star gate contains a large number of death mechanisms, please be cautious. ]

The brief information flashed through his mind. He thought about it for a moment, then quickly gathered his consciousness and tried to ask, "Can you tell me the star gate reward of Bu Lao Mountain?"

Consciousness was calling, but no response was received.

Ren was unwilling to give up and tried again: "Only those who receive an invitation can enter the Bulao Mountain Star Gate?"

Shouting over and over again, but no response.

"call--!"

Ren Ye let out a long breath and chose to give up communicating.

At the table, Lao Liu saw that Ren Ye had a stupid expression like his second senior brother, so he pushed his shoulder and asked, "Hey, hey, why are you showing the expression of Wu Lao Er next door again? You are not, really having a blood clot, are you?"

Ren Ye came back to his senses dimly, waved his hand and said, "Nothing, just a little drunk."

"Since my brother is a little drunk, let's go to bed early today." Fatty Wu said, "We'll talk tomorrow."

"That's good. I've been working day and night reversed for the past two days and I'm a little tired. Let's rest early." Yao Chi nodded slightly.

In a word, the banquet ended and everyone went back to their rooms.

……

In a superior guest room.

After waiting for a while, Ren saw Lao Liu and Fatty Wu walk in.

"Brother, what do you want to discuss with me?" Fatty Wu asked with a smile.

"Brother, please sit down." Ren Ye took the initiative to greet him. While pouring tea for Fatty Wu, he said to his beloved concubine and others, "You sit down too."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Wu, his beloved concubine, Lao Liu, and Xu Bangzi sat down around the round table.

Ren Ye pushed the teacup to his eldest brother and said solemnly, "There is something I need to discuss with you all."

"What's the matter?"

"I just received an invitation from a small secret place." Ren Ye glanced at everyone and said softly, "It's Bu Lao Mountain, a third-grade place."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"No... How could the Bulao Mountain evolve into a special secret place?!" Fatty Wu was a little confused: "It is a forbidden area in my southern border. It has been abandoned for a long time."

Ren Ye shook his head slightly: "I don't know either, but I did receive an invitation. The time is from the 7th to the 9th, it's very difficult, there's no background description, and there's a death penalty."

Old Liu blinked and turned to look at Xu Bangzi and his beloved concubine: "What about you, did you receive it?"

Hearing this, both of them shook their heads.

“Fuck, that’s troublesome.” Old Liu spoke Chinese quintessence and looked at Ren Ye again: “Then you can…?”

“It shouldn’t be possible.” Ren also understood what he meant: “I am the only one who received the invitation, and this secret place clearly states that if I agree, I will enter as a “Breakthrough”. In this case, I should not be able to bring other people in with me.”

"...!"

Everyone was speechless.

After a moment, Fatty Wu frowned and asked, "Brother, what are your plans?"

Ren Ye slowly stood up and walked around the room with his hands behind his back. "To be honest, I am a little hesitant. To solve the plague in Qingliang Prefecture, we must find an antidote within 7 days. The previous investigation of Zhang Changshou and Gepao Township... has already taken several days. This time, entering the Bulao Mountain Star Gate will take another 9 to days. If I don't get the antidote to solve the plague in this star gate... then half of the time is over, I am afraid that the people in Qingliang Prefecture will be in a panic. Even I will be anxious and uneasy."

Everyone nodded unconsciously when they heard this.

"However, I analyzed it carefully again. After Qingliang Mansion suffered this disaster, I received the incident investigation mission of the source of the plague, and then rushed to Funan. After I got the clues from Erleng and Fenglin Taoist, the incident mission was suddenly upgraded to the frontier storm." Ren Ye replied softly: "In addition, Master Guanfeng, who plotted against my Qingliang Mansion behind the scenes, is also controlling the people of Bulao Mountain Villa and plotting secretly... So, I always feel that this secret place of Bulao Mountain may be the place where I must go to find the truth and solve the plague, because all the clues are related."

Old Liu pondered for a while, and replied in confusion: "I just don't understand. This plague incident, after all, is just a group of forces secretly plotting against my Qingliang Mansion. It should be a random political conspiracy. To put it bluntly, the degree of freedom is extremely high, and there may be hundreds, even thousands, of people involved. How could this suddenly evolve into a secret mission? This doesn't make sense. Is the Heavenly Dao still monitoring the political struggle?"

Ren also turned around and looked at him: "Why not? Don't forget, I said before that the cause of this incident was that someone used the rules of heaven to plan and plot. The two are not unrelated."

"I am the Way of Heaven. You are a bunch of little ants. Do you dare to use me to play tricks?!" Old Liu stretched his neck and concluded: "You want to play, right? Then the Way of Heaven will set up a stage and invite everyone to join the game. Let's have a good game. Is that what you mean?"

"It's not impossible," Ren nodded slightly, "but there may also be other unknown factors affecting it."

Xu Bangzi thought for a moment and said, "All the clues we have found so far ultimately point to Mount Bulao, so I think your speculation is correct. There may be many truths hidden here, and it may even be possible to find a solution to the plague. But... it's a bit too dangerous for you to join in alone, isn't it?"

"Yes, my dear brother, you are currently a second-grade supernatural power user, and this place is a third-grade secret realm." Fatty Wu also advised: "Although I don't know the identities of the other entrants, but after careful speculation, your rank should be relatively low, or the lowest. This is indeed very dangerous."

Ren was silent for a while, then looked out the window.

Xu Qingzhao sat on the chair, glanced at his back, and said, "Zhu Zigui, you have already made up your mind, right?"

With just one sentence, she had already seen through King Huai's thoughts.

Ren Ye slowly turned his head and said softly, "I originally wanted to use the power of the court to investigate the Bulao Villa, and Master Yan has already returned to the headquarters to discuss this matter with the eight old ministers, but it is still not safe. If Master Guanfeng is not prepared to wait for me at the Bulao Villa, but orders people to evacuate the place after hearing the news, then the clues in our hands... will be cut off. The plague cannot be controlled, and we only have 20 days in total. It seems that God has not given me any other choice."

"Brother, I advise you to be more responsible and not be so stubborn." Old Liu said urgently, "So many people have come to you and come to Qingliang Mansion. Even if you are not responsible for yourself, you have to be responsible for everyone, right? The most important thing is that we have invested our money!"

Xu Bangzi agreed: "Yes, I voted twice."

Xu Qingzhao pondered for a while and said, "I cannot go into the secret place with you, but I can wait for you to come back outside."

Fatty Wu was simpler: "If you insist on going, do you still want to discuss the matter of expanding the territory with Bau?"

Ren Ye turned his head and looked at the crowd: "I know everyone is thinking about me, but sometimes... there are many things that you can't choose. Damn it, I was lying in Qingliang Mansion, eating hot pot, singing songs, and suddenly it rained heavily and the plague was rampant. In life, if you don't seek trouble, it doesn't mean that trouble won't seek you. In the Star Gate, everyone has the same starting point. I am at risk of death, and perhaps those people are the same. I am not afraid of eggs, people die and birds fly to the sky, and they will live for thousands of years. Since someone has made a move, I will join the game!"

When everyone heard this, they knew in their hearts that it was useless to persuade Ren at this moment.

"If you insist on going, then we have to make some preparations." Seeing that he had made up his mind, Old Liu immediately changed his mind: "Make some backup plans, otherwise you will be in trouble. Your brother Liu is not young anymore. How many years can he take care of the princess for you?!"

"You're a real dog."

Ren also scolded him, bent down and sat on the chair, and said softly: "It is indeed necessary to make some preparations. So, big brother, I will write a personal letter to Master Yan first, and you order the bald eagle to quickly deliver it to the headquarters..."

"That's easy to say." Fatty Wu listened to him and nodded slightly.

Everyone gathered together to discuss the matter, and half an hour passed in a flash.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Fatty Wu turned around and asked.

"It's me, foster father." A foster son's voice came from outside the door: "The butler beside Bau is here, inviting you to come over for a chat."

"Did you tell me what it was?" Fatty Wu asked.

"No, the butler just said that it was Bau who invited you." The adopted son replied.

Fatty Wu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "You've left me alone for so long, and finally you can't sit still any longer. My dear brother, I'll go to the government office and meet with Bau now."

Ren Ye pondered for a while, then gently reminded: "Brother, since he has already come to you, let's not make an offer first, and wait for him to negotiate."

"Hehe." Fatty Wu showed a cunning look: "Don't look at that Ba Wu, the governor of Lingnan Prefecture, who commands the three armies and holds a high position of power. But when it comes to these filthy and dirty things, your brother Wu is no less than anyone else in his life."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

……

Migration site star gate, base city.

After buying n sets of underwear, the young man in white looked at the bustling streets and the tall buildings around him and said, "My hometown is calling me, so I have to leave this place for now... When I come back, you so-called chosen ones, you better be careful, hey...!"
