Luckily, Chun hasn't floated too far; he's still in danger, and uncertain of the road ahead, he needs to recover quickly.

Chun asked, "Sherry, how is the Magic Stone consumption?"

Sherry excitedly said, "Is your task urgent? If not, I can immediately set up a Charging Array for the Magic Stone to recharge."

Aileen also comfortingly said, "There's no movement around here anymore; it seems these are the only monsters nearby."

Chun laughed, "Originally, this was to show the village chief our strength, and now we've succeeded, so there's no rush; we can take our time."

"Then I'll change the array!"

Chun realized he couldn't move: "Wait, first help me over to the tree to collect something!"

Leaning against the tree trunk, Chun took out a collection hoe, and with trembling hands, slowly swung it for the first strike!

— System Prompt: Congratulations! You've successfully collected the herb "Poisonous Moss," and muscle memory has successfully recalled Basic Collection Technique Level 1...

Holy shit, just randomly wipe against the tree bark and it yields goods; the whole tree must be a treasure then, right?

Wahaha, great, charge to Advanced, synchronize with the small account, master in one go!

Quickly, Sherry also finished the array change: "I'll collect too! Maybe these woods can make decent Magic Staffs."

Chun realized he hadn't considered thoroughly; perhaps he should have bought a saw, which could lead to mastering Woodworking Technique...

But it doesn't matter, the Alternate Space woods can't have just one tree; where there's one, there's a second. We'll just use this one for practice. Speaking of which, the Octopus mutated due to Magic Gold, why did this tree mutate?

...

Internet cafe rooftop.

Zhou Qing looked at the cheering on the monitors from the first and third floors with shock, his expression moved, and he re-applied some of the sliding face mask.

From Chun's return to the city and shocking the church in the city, to dueling the Baron and showcasing an Angel shocking the world, to entering the hospital, leaning on a cane, and then back to the church covered in yellow...

If it were anyone else, Zhou Qing would only think it's inexplicable attention-seeking, but this is the university-era top student! The same textbooks in front of him seemed like gibberish, but for him, they meant scholarship awards...

Zhou Qing watched the entire affair like a drama, up to shaking hands with him outside the village!

Zhou Qing repeatedly played that sentence of his: "I remember one of my classmates back then was also—"

Who else could that classmate be but myself? He still remembers me! But why did he suddenly change his words? Perhaps because he has a family now and started being mindful... Of course, I was so attractive in the class; he can't possibly be totally indifferent!

Zhou Qing couldn't help but want to laugh, repeatedly listening and laughing again.

Until Chun's killing of the Boss shocked the entire village! No, even the top players and professionals in the national server chat group were all shaken...

Zhou Qing was stunned! How did he achieve this when he needs someone to help him walk? Could he have jumped off the floor to avoid the village chief just to lure out this Boss?

Zhou Qing couldn't articulate the pure game comprehension gap, or rather, the information gap! Smart people won't fall behind in any domain! Even those brokers and fund managers he knows are just relying on information advantage for underhanded operations; they don't need much intelligence as long as they're familiar with the flow...

It's decided!

If he loses his job, then hire him with a high salary! The Zhou Family is far more than this one internet cafe, investing in acquiring a company for him to become CEO is also on the table, even offering stocks!

If he gets divorced, then... then...

Calm down!

Zhou Qing suddenly felt he was getting ahead of himself. But still couldn't quite suppress the urge, again searching the alumni records for Su Xiaoqin's information. Searching entrepreneur directories, searching the Su Family's information. Searching for information on the Jing'an District street office where Su Xiaoqin works after graduation... All those previous questions welled up anew.

A few days ago, Ma Yinglong sent a security team to escort him to a relative's birthday party, causing a scene. Chun also impersonated a national security officer to act defiantly towards the former company leadership, yet within days, it all passed quietly...

Could the street office that Su Xiaoqin works at really be just another low-paying job for suburban grandparents and grandmas? Given her appearance, abilities, and family backing, she can't possibly be a slacker—is there possibly another explanation...

It's decided; one day, I'll personally visit her at that street office! As for what reason... After all, she was the department's flower, and I was the class flower; we did meet a few times during our university days. The Zhou Family and Su Family indeed have frequent business dealings. Perhaps have the nephew think of something, like driving to the street office and crashing into a tree railing causing a stir to create some dramatic effect...

...

Western Hemisphere time, 9 AM.

Due to staying up late to watch Chun's return to the city to duel the Baron and delaying sleep, the Ten Lords just officially went online.

Details on Chun's new developments inundated the global trending lists again, culminating in the Southern Canyon Village killing the hidden Boss. The journey appeared fragmented and unrelated, yet Chun completed it straight away with a cane, which shows his task list is very clear and completely unaffected by mobility.

Michael insisted, "Under normal circumstances, the Southern Canyon Village shouldn't have such creatures as the mutated Poison Tree Demon, which can only appear deep within the continent's Primitive Poison Swamp Forest."

Gabriel sighed, "Actually, just looking at the Southern Canyon Village's terrain, it is clearly incompatible with its surroundings and created by a meteor strike!"

Sariel lamented, "Didn't the boss custom order several Divine Stone asteroids at the Void Divine Throne? But they failed to operate and vanished upon launch. It's been determined that this Canyon Village is the boss's custom asteroid, and only Divine Stone energy could generate a hidden Alternate Space, mutating a Tree Monster."

Uriel added, "Don't rule out Alpha and Beta tampering with the boss's data since it's much easier to ruin the code pile, by just deleting a line of code."

Michael said solemnly: "I can tolerate losing a gift package, but can't endure the package falling into players' hands! Uriel—"

Uriel understood: "The boss's intent is to initiate the second monster siege?"

Sariel laughed heartily, "Exactly, that's what it means! And it must be on a massive scale! We must permanently seize this village!"

Uriel wondered, "Targeting the village specifically for a siege? That's too bizarre!"

Gabriel added, "But Chun entered the Alternate Space; anything done there will be considered having a special effect. We can also have people post messages, analyzing the influence of the Alternate Space, creating a public opinion cushion so that a large number of monsters attacking the village won't appear strange."

Sariel got even more excited: "Since the boss spoke, let's fully prepare this time, letting the Divine Presence Battle Team and Tata Battle Team also fully assault, and even the main players from other cities can join!"

Michael lowered his voice: "That's the arrangement; inform the Divine Team and Tata Battle Team, but the operation must be secret, with only two days for preparation! Though I don't want even a day of wait..."

Butler: "Understood! The Divine Team's willingness will be very strong."
