Canceled state? What did that mean?
“In other words, Minida’s already dead,” Yousi reminded Su Chen and dispelled any doubts he had. After opening the email, Su Chen saw a long message.
[Su Chen, Hello. I don’t think I’ve ever had a proper conversation with you guys, but I can tell that you’re all a bunch of good people. You should know me and Lotte, we’re both players, but because we accidentally entered this game, our whole lives have been completely changed. I was accidentally recruited under Marl, and over the years, I’ve been trained by him to be an absolute killing machine. I’ve even forgotten what I was like in real life. Marl was a good person, at least during the year I followed him into the palace. But with the increase in the number of players, the pressure of the competition, and Quinn’s popularity ratings made him paranoid and belligerent and I was blind to the black and white of things because of my loyalty. However, when I met Lotte again, I began to remember who I was, and it was because of him that I knew I was not a weapon, but someone to love. So, I tried to get him out of the camp, and I pretended to be his opponent. That’s why I helped you so much, but if this letter is sent out and I’m not standing in front of you telling you all this, that means the worst-case scenario has happened. I hope you’ll still have the opportunity to see this letter. So, thank you. In this letter, I also want to tell you that this game world’s far more profound than you think. If you want to live, please, make sure you have the strength, ability, and status to live in this world, because Marl will not let you go. Everything’s to test your ability, and your outstanding performance time and time again puts Marl in a crisis. So, if he can’t recruit you, he’ll definitely try to destroy you. That’s it. This is the end. Take care.]
After reading the long letter, Su Chen became even more determined. He gave up the idea of returning to the real world. Instead, he opened the strategy he had obtained outside of this world. He had been studying it for a few days.
Yousi finally could not help but ask, “Lotte’s death’s indeed sad, but you’ve been like a demon these few days. What are you doing?”
“I plan to set off for the north in two days,” Su Chen said casually while chewing on the bread that Youli had just delivered.
“What are you doing in the north?”
“I heard there’s a pile of gold over there. I plan to make myself rich first before I recruit soldiers.”
Su Chen used the calmest tone to say what Yousi thought were the most terrifying words.
“What do you mean?! Recruit soldiers?! Do you plan to…”
Su Chen nodded.
“That’s right, I plan to build a peaceful world that belongs to us. If our original world has been destroyed, then I want to build my own ideal world.”
After hearing that, Yousi immediately said, “Then, when do you plan to set off?”
“The sooner the better.”
“Okay, give me a few days. Youli just overcame the crisis. I want to see how she’s doing.”
Su Chen asked, “What do you mean? Are you coming with me?”
Yousi shook his head speechlessly.
“What else? I’m not a disloyal person. Besides, without my protection, you won’t be able to build a country alone. You’ll be dead in a few days.”
Su Chen’s nose was sore. He knew that even though Yousi said those words, he was just worried about him.
After resting for a few days, Su Chen planned to set off for the location with a lot of gold on the map of the north. Yousi said goodbye to Youli and accompanied Su Chen.
Su Chen began to set foot on the road. Time passed in a hurry. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, they rested on the same spot again. Su Chen began to worry. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to their destination on the map, Su Chen thought of the wolf pack guarding the surroundings as mentioned in the strategy.
After some careful exploration, a bloody smell entered Su Chen’s nose. Behind a tree, Su Chen saw a black shadow scuttling past.
There was a small river, but it was a little bigger than the one before. By the river, there were many black spots. Needless to say, there were many wolves.
Walking further in, Su Chen found a wolf pack. He definitely did not dare to act rashly. Looking at these wolf packs, there were actually 60 of them. Some of the wolf packs were resting, and some were biting a few large wild deers. The bloody smell came from the dead bodies of the wild deers.
This seemed to be a worthy location for a mission. Su Chen also saw some wild wolves flapping around in the river, hunting down a few fish.
“So many…” Su Chen muttered to himself.
“Looks like we have to make traps.”
As he spoke, Su Chen asked Yousi beside him in a low voice, “Yousi, do you know any traps?”
“This.” Yousi had also fought with a wolf pack before.
Yousi continued to speak. “The battle strength of the alpha wolf’s about the same as mine, but there are about fifty wolves here. It’s still very difficult for the two of us to deal with all of them.”
“There are fifty of them…”
Su Chen thought for a moment and said, “The alpha wolf’s strength is about the same as yours, but there are many of them, so it’ll be difficult but if we plan well, we should be able to succeed. We might even be able to harvest a batch of food.
“After resting, we’ll continue to move forward. First, we’ll see if we can go around the wolf pack to get the gold. If not, we’ll go to the wolf pack to take a closer look at the situation,” Su Chen said.
“Okay.” Yousi nodded. After saying that, he started to rest.
After resting for a while, Yousi and Su Chen continued on their journey. They passed through a forest and crossed two mountains to reach the location marked on the map.
After such a long journey, another half a day had passed. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, they once again rested after finding a spot. They looked around in the target location.
They found nothing. That meant that what they were looking for was really where the wolf pack was at. A little embarrassed, Su Chen said, “Yousi, the most convenient way would be to make a trap, but we don’t have any men with us, only a few ropes.”
“Straw rope,” thought Yousi. “That’s fine. Let’s draw some wolves over to have a look.” With that, he got up and stepped back. Beside him, Su Chen also retreated.
As they walked, Su Chen continued, “Then, let’s lure a few wolves over to have a look first. We’ll rest here. Don’t start a fire. One of us must keep watch during the night.”
“Okay.” Yousi also nodded at Su Chen’s words. Although their combat strength was already stronger than before, if they wanted to rely on themselves to kill this pack of 60 wolves, it was somewhat unrealistic..
