Star Trace Gate

In the private room of Fuyun Teahouse.

After Ren used his points to exchange for two sources of enlightenment, he gently picked up the craftsman's jade pendant beside his leg and examined it carefully.

This jade pendant feels slightly cool to the touch and has a smooth surface. It is only the size of the palm of your hand, and both sides are engraved with lifelike images of a craftsman's workshop. It looks like an ordinary magic weapon and there is nothing special about it.

However, the Carpenter's Jade Pendant should not be put into his own consciousness space, because when Ren Ye left the door just now, he fell into this house with it, instead of appearing directly in his consciousness.

Ren also sat cross-legged, staring at the jade pendant, slowly emitting the power of perception.

In an instant, the jade pendant emitted a faint fluorescence, and an indescribable mysterious feeling surged into his heart. Ren Ye called out softly, "Come out."

"brush!"

A white light suddenly appeared, dazzling Ren and causing him to squint his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow of a big black dog gradually became solid and emerged from the jade pendant craftsman's shop.

It lay on the ground in a very listless state, like a breeding dog that had worked for three years without a rest, its eyes dull and tired.

One man and one dog, looking at each other politely.

Ren Ye was surprised and asked tentatively: "Is it... Comrade Song Yi?"

The black dog ignored him and just stared at the ground with empty eyes, as if it had not yet come to its senses.

"Why does this dog look so stupid?"

Ren Ye was puzzled. He slowly raised his palm and tried to scratch the dog's head: "Hey, zoo boss, can you hear me?"

"Put...your hands back."

Suddenly, the big black dog spoke in human language: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't touch me."

"Fuck."

Ren was also shocked: "You woke up?!"

“Didn’t I keep my eyes open?” The black dog’s mouth and nose were breathing heavily, and he spoke weakly: “Wu Daoyuan, you… do you have Wu Daoyuan?”

"Have."

"Give... give me the source of enlightenment to help me wake up completely. I will help you." Comrade Song Yi was frugal with his words.

Ren also raised his hand and flipped it, and immediately three more enlightenment sources emitting golden light appeared in his hand: "I have it."

The black dog had dull fur all over its body and was extremely thin. It lay on the ground and replied weakly, "Use your consciousness as a medium to connect us, and I can devour it."

Ren also blinked and asked very cleverly: "I will give you the source of enlightenment, then what can you give me?"

The black dog was slightly startled: "I am your guide, I can help you in the future."

"Don't make empty promises. Just tell me what you can give me." Ren Ye asked again, sticking to his principles.

There was a hint of speechlessness in the black dog's tired eyes, as if he had never expected that an emperor with great luck in the world could shamelessly bargain with a dog.

After a brief silence, it said: "Use the Enlightenment Source on me, and you... you will know how I can help you."

"Can't you just say it first?"

"Are you going to give it to me or not... Are you going to give it back to me or not?!" Comrade Song Yi was in a depressed state and seemed like he would die at any moment.

Ren Ye's eyes rolled around and he said with a smile, "Haha, OK, then I'll invest first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately activated his consciousness, sensing the source of enlightenment in his palm while sensing the big black dog.

"boom!"

An extremely surging wave of energy suddenly exploded in the room.

The room was filled with golden divine light, and it was as if a brilliant sun was rising in the room, making it difficult to look directly at it.

"Crash!"

The entire teahouse and the ground began to shake violently, as if they were experiencing an 8.0 magnitude earthquake and would collapse at any time.

Ren did not expect that he would make such a big noise, so he immediately calmed his mind and tried his best to mobilize the star source power in his body to suppress the strange phenomenon caused by the source of enlightenment, but it had little effect.

The source of enlightenment was emitting endless golden light, like a erupting volcano, its aura surged out without limit, and actually formed a vortex of alternating golden and white light in the room.

"Print it!"

Ren did not dare to be careless. He immediately summoned the Human Emperor Seal and hung it above his head. He also caused a faint purple aura to explode, suppressing the source of enlightenment with the power of luck and blocking the "heavenly secrets" here, making it impossible for the surrounding players to perceive it.

"boom!"

Purple air slowly spread in the room, enveloping all the strange things here and making them less bright.

"Okay."

Ren also sat cross-legged in the golden light and threw out the source of enlightenment that was bursting with violent aura.

"Whoosh!"

The black dog jumped up, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the divine source of enlightenment in one gulp.

"brush!"

The strong aura and golden light that were flowing around poured into the black dog's body like flowing clouds.

The room gradually became quiet. The black dog lay on the ground. There was a faint roar of the avenue rising from its body, and its body radiated a dazzling golden glow.

Soon, several cold reminders rang out.

[Song Yi, the god-level guide, devoured the "God's Dao Rhythm" from the base city where he migrated, gathered the energy of heaven and earth here to nourish himself, and suddenly realized in the chaos, and his cultivation was greatly improved. ]

【Guide: Song Yi. 】

【Rank: God level. 】

[Current cultivation level: No rank, semi-awakened state.]

Inside the room, Ren Ye sat in a golden light, frowning and muttering, "Damn, this brother is a bottomless pit. An entire divine-grade Enlightenment Source Xuan is gone, and he's only half awakened?"

After a brief pause, he began to activate the second god-level source of enlightenment without hesitation.

"boom!"

The room was lit with golden light again, as if the heaven had descended upon the earth, and all the strange phenomena were revealed in the aura of the human world.

The big black dog opened his eyes in a hazy light and swallowed the second source of enlightenment in one gulp.

After a short while, the aura of the two sources of enlightenment became weak, and there were signs that they were about to completely dissipate.

Ren Ye sensed it a little and found that the big black dog was about to wake up.

"I'm really screwed..."

Beads of sweat appeared on King Huai's forehead, and he complained in his heart: "Damn it, the two god-level enlightenment sources that I exchanged my life for haven't even fed him enough! It's better not to have this guide, or else I can just have a dog meat hot pot tonight."

Even though he cursed, he still gritted his teeth and activated the third god-level source of enlightenment.

"Whoosh!"

This time, the big black dog's eyes were red, and it jumped up impatiently, swallowing the source of enlightenment with great agility.

"boom!"

The walnut-sized golden source stone flew into the black dog's mouth and illuminated its body from the inside out, making it transparent.

The black dog's flesh, blood, meridians, limbs, bones, and internal organs were all visible to the naked eye in the golden light.

Its body was transparent and blurry, floating horizontally in the air, emitting a rhythmic movement that Ren Ye could not currently understand.

This time the devouring process was relatively long, but Ren Ye looked at it patiently and waited quietly.

Finally, the aura of the three sources of enlightenment gradually disappeared, and the golden light in the room dissipated, becoming difficult to detect.

[The god-level guide Song Yi, who devoured the "God's Dao Rhythm" from the base city where he migrated, gathered the energy of heaven and earth to nourish himself, became enlightened in the chaos, and completely awakened, and was promoted to a first-class guide.]

【Guide: Song Yi. 】

【Rank: God level. 】

[Current cultivation level: Rank 38.28, growth value %]

[Current magical power: Good fortune and prosperity. The player team favored by this guide will receive Song Yi's blessing protection in all series of star gates in the migration area. When the team members settle the task, they can get an additional 10% star source reward.]

"Fuck!!!"

After hearing this reminder, Ren Ye suddenly jumped up from the ground, and the whole person was so excited that he stuttered: "Is this... so awesome? Scabbard brother!"

Not far away on the ground, a big black dog was lying there motionless, with its eyes closed, as if it had fallen asleep.

However, its originally dull hair has become as smooth as black satin, and its body is full of blood and strong. It looks like a calf, tall and mighty.

Ren couldn't hold back his joy, so he walked over and touched his back: "Brother, I will treat you like my own father in the future..."

"I'm a germaphobe, take your hand away."

The big black dog closed his eyes and spoke in human language: "I haven't completely refined the source of enlightenment yet, I need to rest..."

"Okay, okay, you take a rest. I'll have someone prepare dinner for you right away." Ren Ye looked at him with burning eyes and promised madly, "We can get along slowly as brothers in the future. If you have any requests, just let me know. If you feel lonely at night, I'll go to the dog market tomorrow and buy you a few pretty female Chihuahuas..."

"Dirty!"

The big black dog was very annoyed.

Ren Ye heard Gou Ge's scolding and immediately showed a relieved and shut-up expression.

This god-level guide could actually add an extra 10% to the mission star source settlement for all team members. This... the empire's plan to become great again was obviously unstoppable.

Don’t underestimate this 10%!

The park team is now fully staffed with eight people. Even if one mission gives 24 star sources, each person can get an extra star sources per mission, which is for eight people. This is equivalent to the income of half a living player.

This extra income can be used for the team's task procurement, so everyone will be in a state of "no money spent, only money in, no money out" in the future. This is also in line with the park team's business strategy and can effectively avoid internal strife.

Alas, it is a pity that the guide's "Fortune and Prosperity" protection is only effective in the series of star gates in the migration area, and he should not be able to follow Ren Ye to other star gates or return to Qingliang Mansion.

The reason is very simple. The "heavenly way" of the migration area cannot affect other star gates. To put it bluntly, the extra 10% of star sources obtained are only recognized by the rules of heaven and earth here. If you go to other star gates, the heavenly way there will not recognize the bird guide at all, and naturally will not "bless" him.

However, this was enough for Ren Ye and his group. Because the migration area had just been opened, they would have to compete and travel here for a long time in the future.

Ren Ye looked at the black dog and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, no wonder the master chef urged me to enter the migration area so eagerly, and also asked me to take on as many difficult guide tasks as possible. So that's how it is, so that's how it is... It's good to have an old man at home."

"Dangdang!"

Just as he was feeling delighted, the door was suddenly and roughly pushed open.

"Shh!"

Ren Ye turned his head suddenly and saw a little black fat boy standing there. He said urgently, "Zhu Zigui, you're back!"

"My beloved, I miss you so much!"

He suddenly stood up, rushed over like a fly, and hugged the delicate body of the little black fat boy, but he found it difficult to put his arms together.

King Huai was slightly stunned and said jokingly, "Good boy, are you three hundred pounds now?!"

If it were in the past, this beloved concubine who had transformed into a little black fat man would definitely raise her arm and hit him if she heard such a teasing, but at this moment she looked at Ren Ye with a frown. Seeing that he was covered with scars and his clothes were torn, her face couldn't help but become a little solemn.

"Shh!"

A burst of clear light ripples.

The little black fat man disappeared, and the beloved concubine regained her stunning appearance.

She stood there, letting Ren Ye hold her, and asked with a raised eyebrow: "Zhu Zigui...are you hurt?!"

"Haha, fortunately, I am a blessed person and I will not die."

Ren Ye smiled heartily, poked his chin on his beloved concubine's shoulder, and let out a long breath: "Just... just a little tired."

"Hurry up and sit cross-legged so that I can feel you." The beloved concubine urged anxiously.

"No, I just want to lie down for a while..." Ren Ye was like a wandering son returning to his mother's arms. He hugged his beloved concubine tightly, with his chin resting on her shoulder. He felt extremely relaxed and even a little sleepy.

The beloved concubine did not hit him, nor did she dislike his stench. She just stood there quietly and nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Tap!"

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps rang out.

"Good brother, you're back!"

A sharp voice sounded in the corridor on the second floor.

After hearing the voice, Ren Ye said speechlessly: "Damn the singer...it really spoils the fun."

He knew that his beloved wife was very particular about etiquette, so he slowly retracted his arms and grinned, "This time, I have gained a lot. We are going to make a fortune!"

"Humph."

Under the dim light, Ai Fei's pretty face flushed, she turned her head slightly, and said in a pretentious and arrogant manner: "You are so unskilled that you get carried away when you see a few pieces of silver."

"Whizzing!"

Soon after, the black-robed A Pu and the handsome singer appeared at the door of the room at the same time.

"Brother, you...what's wrong with you? Have you been raped?!" Tang Feng looked Ren Ye up and down, patted his shoulder and asked, "Are you okay? Do you want me to find a player from the Light Department?"

"It's okay." Ren Ye waved his hand casually.

"Do you need any pills? I just bought two top-grade rebirth pills." A Pu asked concisely.

"I don't need them for now, but your two top-grade pills will be confiscated later." Ren Ye replied with a grin.

When A Pu heard this, he knew that he was fine and would not die, so he refused without hesitation: "If you blackmail me, I will quit the team."

Greetings between men are simple and straightforward, without any delicate emotional expressions. But the beloved concubine who has read a lot of novels recently, standing in the house and looking at Ren Ye's embarrassed back, has already imagined a tragic drama of King Huai fighting a pack of wolves alone.

She was a little silent, even a little depressed, but it was difficult for others to notice.

Tang Feng walked into the room and asked casually, "Hey, by the way, you have been practicing for eight days. How is the final result? Did you win or lose?"

"I personally took part, so of course I won." Ren Ye replied proudly.

"Won?!"

Tang Feng walked to the table, poured himself some water, and asked softly, "What about the guide? I have seen other captains who have experienced similar missions in the past few days. They have really led a living person out of the star gate. There are also many people among us who have been favored by the guide..."

Ren Ye returned to the room and pointed to an inconspicuous corner and said, "That's our guide."

Tang Feng was drinking water when he suddenly turned his head and saw a big black dog lying there, snoring loudly.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of water, and said in astonishment: "Fuck! You were gone for eight days, and you only brought back a dog?!!"
