Just as the four of them had found a place to rest in the city, they received a message and immediately set off without delay. Following the hints, they arrived at a luxurious mansion covering thousands of acres in the center of Feiguang City.

However, as they stood before the imposing gates, they hesitated and dared not approach.

“Boss, is this the place Big Boss Ji Chen mentioned?” Lao Ba asked in a hushed tone, looking at the hundred-person team of serpent-tailed guards stationed outside the mansion gate.

“In the private chat, he mentioned this place,” Sun Wukong replied uncertainly. “But why hasn’t anyone come out to greet us? And look at the way those guards with serpent tails are looking at us like they’re eyeing a pig for slaughter. Maybe we should move away for now,” Tang Seng suggested, his face filled with apprehension.

“Yeah, I heard that some high-level native residences don’t allow strangers to get close. If they catch us, we might get locked up for half a month. It’s not worth it,” Sha Wujing quickly agreed. The Journey to the West team had managed to survive in the game from the beginning, relying on one word: stability.

Feeling scrutinized by the guards, they felt like they were about to be in trouble at any moment.

Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment, thinking it over. Just as he was about to turn and run, the grand gates of the luxurious mansion were opened from the inside, and a maid dressed in black and white stepped out.

She looked around and focused her attention on the four individuals not far away, seemingly verifying their identity.

Soon, she nodded.

The appearance of these four individuals matched what the boss had described: one with a scruffy beard, one tall and fair-skinned, one chubby, and one rather simple-looking.

“Are you the guests invited by Lord Ji Chen?”

Sun Wukong was momentarily stunned and vigorously nodded, as if beating a drum.

“Yes, yes, it was Big Boss Ji Chen who asked us to come.”

The maid nodded, not saying much, and simply gestured for them to follow her.

The four members of the Journey to the West team followed eagerly, their gazes inevitably drifting towards the maid’s slender thighs and her graceful waist. Their hearts were filled with envy.

Damn, having strength is great, especially when you have such a beautiful native maid serving you. It makes sleep so much more comfortable.

Several minutes later, after navigating through corridors and gardens in the vast mansion like a maze, the maid led them to the guest lounge and knocked on the door with great care, respectfully saying, “Lord Ji Chen, the four guests have arrived.”

A gentle voice emanated from behind the door.

“I understand, please let them in.”

Upon hearing this, the maid gently pushed open the door, gesturing for the four members of the Journey to the West team to enter. Then, with a respectful expression, she closed the door.

The four members of the Journey to the West team walked in and soon spotted Ji Chen sitting on the central sofa in the reception room.

They quickly approached but didn’t dare to sit down as they felt out of place amidst the luxurious decor.

Although each of them commanded over a thousand troops, which would be considered some strength in the eyes of outsiders, the reality was that they were still leading a rather difficult life.

Let alone ordinary houses, even their Lord Manor was not as luxurious as this.

Recruiting troops required resources, repairing buildings and facilities required resources, and taking care of their subjects required resources. The heavy burden almost crushed them, which was why they were willing to travel thousands of miles to Feiguang City to take on bounties, all in the hope of supporting the operation of their territory.

Seeking resources and adventures was the true lifestyle of most Glory Lords.

In comparison, players who had lost their territories for various reasons appeared to be living a more comfortable life. Each of them could eat their fill, and their time was filled with post-meal entertainment.

Watching the four of them appear somewhat awkward, Ji Chen didn’t seem to mind. He took on the demeanor of a mansion owner and gestured for them to sit down.

“I’ve called you here to give you a task.”

“The task is pretty straightforward. Your job is to spread a message using different platforms, whether it’s in chatrooms or on forums.

I’ll willingly leave Feiguang City and travel to a peninsula area located fifty kilometers to the west of here to face all the players who’ve accepted bounty missions.”

Sun Wukong was momentarily stunned, his expression changing, and he quickly said, “Big Boss, you want to leave Feiguang City and go to such a distant place!? Isn’t that too dangerous?”

“Yeah, as long as you stay in the city, other players won’t be able to do anything to you!” the other three also tried to persuade him.

As the hero who saved Feiguang City and was even targeted by the Kingdom of Bass for a bounty, the Lienhardt Grand Duchy would not ignore Ji Chen’s safety, whether to win hearts or maintain an image. They would undoubtedly provide protection.

Although Feiguang City suffered considerable damage in the previous war, it still retained around fifty to sixty percent of its defensive infrastructure, with tens of thousands of soldiers stationed there. Not to mention the continuous influx of reinforcements in the future.

The current players were far from being able to independently break through Feiguang City.

It could be said that as long as Ji Chen stayed in Feiguang City, his safety was absolutely guaranteed.

But now he wanted to actively go out to confront!?

Ji Chen shook his head and continued, “…this has nothing to do with you. You just need to spread this message.

Of course, you can’t reveal that it was me who said it.. It should be disseminated in a way similar to a piece of gossip, I’m sure you understand that, right?”
