Chapter 388: Chapter 369 The Eve of the Floating City Opening
It’s the same luxurious hotel suite;
The same huge floor-to-ceiling window flashing with multicolored neon;
Also the same delicate hand swirling a glass of red wine;
At this moment, the only difference is...
The owner of this delicate hand no longer has a trace of intoxication on her face, instead, there is a hint of solemnity and lingering unease between her brows.
At this moment, Qiao Yun was unconsciously swirling her wine glass, her eyes occasionally glancing at the phone placed to the side.
By the timing, the target should have been eliminated already.
But why has so long passed without any news?
At this moment, Qiao Yun’s unfocused eyes were staring at the mesmerizing city night view outside the window, while her heart was filled with unease:
"Could something have gone wrong?"
However, Qiao Yun repeatedly calculated, based on the information given by those people, the plan to assassinate Lin Yi involved world-class hitmen, it shouldn’t have gone wrong!
Moreover, those people, to be safe, even made double preparations, determined to kill ’Feng Hua’.
Although Qiao Yun didn’t know exactly what the double preparations were, judging by how seriously the contact took the matter, the preparations shouldn’t be simple.
And if the plan proceeded smoothly, then why has she not received any response from them after such a long time?
As Qiao Yun’s thoughts ran wild, a shadow appeared unexpectedly outside the glass window.
At first, Qiao Yun thought it was a hallucination and paid no attention.
However, the other person unexpectedly waved towards her and said with a smile:
"Miss Qiao Yun, I heard you’re looking for me?"
The next moment, a scream that almost pierced the hotel roof could be faintly heard.
...
...
In the early hours of the next day, Lin Yi and others were woken up early by the enthusiastic Zhan Tianpeng, and they had a sumptuous breakfast carefully prepared by the hotel in the restaurant.
During this time, everyone tactfully avoided mentioning what Lin Yi did the previous night.
For the rest of the day, under Zhan Tianpeng’s arrangements, Lin Yi visited several popular attractions in Tianshui City; and tasted the special snacks there.
After a pleasant day, the last stop was a visit to the most famous shopping mall there, led by Zhan Tianpeng.
Under Zhan Tianpeng’s strong insistence, everyone picked a favorite item as a memento of the trip, and thus the day concluded.
After the outing, everyone chose not to stay in Tianshui City any longer and opted for the evening flight to return to Binhai City.
When Lin Yi logged into the game again, it was already late that night.
Zhang Xinying and the others continued to grind and train, aiming to reach level 35 soon to raid the instance together.
Lin Yi logged in and teamed up with Shuai Diao Zha and the others to complete the day’s 8 instance runs.
Yet up until now, they hadn’t gotten the [Wings of Flight], which shows how low the drop rate is, although they did acquire many set equipment parts, the drop rate for those was decent.
Besides that, currently, the most talked about topic in the Hua Country War Zone is probably the battle between Divine Court and Shengshi.
Divine Court seems determined to dethrone Shengshi Dynasty, and players of both guilds were confronting each other from leveling maps to instance entrances.
One is an old guild, another is a rising star.
Shengshi Dynasty could still leverage their level 4 settlement advantage to somewhat suppress Divine Court.
However, Divine Court, collaborating with multiple guilds, could hold its own against Shengshi Dynasty.
During this, Proud Sanctuary and Famous Clan guilds seemed to reach some agreement as they all maintained silence.
No one knew what kind of agreements these guilds had, and everyone was quietly watching the further developments.
Aside from this, the hottest topic on the game forums was undoubtedly the drop rates in the [Mutated Cave] instance.
Especially the focus on the [Wings of Flight], which constantly drew high attention.
However, the lamentable drop rate of [Wings of Flight] has always been a point of complaint for players.
Perhaps it’s because most players are currently only able to run ordinary level instances.
Some players who couldn’t switch to the Winged Race had to pin their hopes on a higher-level instance’s drop rates improving.
As the days went by, with only a day left until the opening of the Floating City, the whole game felt like it was about to usher in a new year.
Whether in the game, on forums, or in real life, discussions and speculations about Floating City never ceased.
After all, for the game, the opening of Floating City is a landmark moment.
Because here, players will finally meet players from all over the world within the game.
Simultaneously, when the official revealed the holographic map of Floating City a day before its opening, the entire game world was in an uproar.
The announcement of Floating City’s information set all players’ passions ablaze.
The opening of Floating City is bound to bring about a huge change for games worldwide.
This change presents an unknown to players since no one can predict the future direction.
It is precisely this unknown that is more enchanting.
With the opening of Floating City, players’ anticipation for becoming the Winged Race was also released.
The opening of the Winged Race will also signify the advent of the aerial combat era.
At that time, competition among players will no longer be restricted to land, signaling the onset of a new era.
In the context of online games, this is undoubtedly a transformative update.
While everyone eagerly awaited, waiting for tomorrow’s noon when Floating City would open, Lin Yi, like most people, anticipated this day’s arrival.
However, what Lin Yi anticipation differed in that Lin Yi was more eager to see how much power his owner in Floating City could wield.
In the Snow Elf level 40 training area of White Tiger City, Lin Yi had been accompanying everyone in grinding and leveling up these past days.
Currently, in the team, besides Dongfang Jing who is still level 33, everyone else has reached level 35.
Shuai Diao Zha is a bit short of reaching level 37.
While leveling, everyone, like others, was fervently discussing topics about Floating City.
Most discussions revolved around what novel things Floating City would have, while the Winged Race didn’t spark much discussion.
Because most of them have rare professions, they wouldn’t change race.
Moreover, for them, although a [Wings of Flight] is rare, it isn’t unattainable.
Once equipped with [Wings of Flight], there’s practically no difference compared to the Winged Race.
Just then, a crisp sound rang in Lin Yi’s ear:
System: "Congratulations, you’ve reached level 40, you can go to the main city for the Fourth Transformation."
Tian Ci was the first to notice this in the team info, exclaiming:
"Boss Feng, you leveled up?!"
Lin Yi then reacted as well:
"Seems like it."
Everyone rolled their eyes, and Lin Yi chuckled:
"You all continue grinding here, I’m heading back to change profession."
.........
Today’s update is complete.
