Chapter 281: Where Was the Promised One-of-a-Kind Chance Encounter?!
Qing Ming City.
Under everyone’s gaze.
Too many people had come to this small place. They were waiting... waiting for the moment when the array would be activated... They were waiting for the chance encounter!
Restart Array...
Only a handful of people were aware of its true ability!
Recover?
The people who knew only gave mysterious smiles.
“Just wait. Very soon, you will be able to see it. This is a legendary array that has been planned for a thousand years!”
...
Qing Ming City.
In the suburbs.
The places that nobody cared about were now filled with people.
The array’s scope was the entire downtown Qing Ming City area!
They could only wait there.
At this moment...
Countless people were looking up at the stars, seemingly waiting for something. Most of them came from faraway places. It was for the sake of this millennium chance encounter!
Of course, according to their guesses, there should be a huge legacy site.
“I heard earlier that a group of ancient tombs has appeared!”
“I heard about it too.”
“Haha, there are already many things in one ancient tomb. Now that there’s a group of them...”
“Not sure if it’s true or false.”
The cultivators were excited.
...
Somewhere.
A young man’s gaze swept across Qing Ming City. It was filled with sympathy.
He came for the millennium encounter. The one-of-a-kind chance encounter that he purchased clearly told him what the Restart Array and its purpose was!
Qing Ming City was going to be in great chaos.
“Hopefully...
“You guys will also have a chance encounter that belongs to you!”
He walked away gradually.
...
“Xia Yu, get ready,” the old man suddenly said.
“Now?”
Xia Yu’s eyes widened.
“Yes.”
The old man smiled faintly. “Your chance encounter... is here!”
“Sure!”
Xia Yu’s expression was calm.
However...
His hands were trembling slightly. He had waited for too long!
Shush!
He prepared his equipment.
Suddenly, he paused for a moment and looked at the old man. “You just said that it wasn’t here yet... Suddenly it’s here... Don’t tell me that it has something to do with Xiaohua?!”
“.... It doesn’t.”
The old man’s expression did not look too good.
“Oh.”
Xia Yu looked nonchalant.
True enough, it was because of Xiaohua!
The old man was speechless.
Very soon...
Xia Yu was ready.
...
Right then...
It was not known how many people were waiting.
A certain aura in Qing Ming City had reached its peak. The huge array had also reached a certain limit. Everyone was waiting at this moment!
However...
This wait lasted for an hour...
Two hours...
Three hours...
Five hours...
...
The sky darkened.
The world was still peaceful.
...
“Is there a mistake in the deduction?”
An elder was baffled.
He looked up at the starry sky. The star chart flickered. Using hundreds of thousands of people in all of Qing Ming City as a basis, he began his deductions and then arrived at a conclusion. He was weak and had a kidney deficiency now...
He needed to take the little blue pill as a supplement.
What was that?
The old man was filled with terror.
In the Scout industry, they could make deductions about heaven and earth but never about themselves. However, when he made deductions about other people, such a situation actually occurred. Did this mean that...
He really needed to take supplements?
Hence...
He also posted a question online. “What is the little blue pill?”
Afterward...
He discovered the post of his long-time friend from the Starry Sky Pavilion...
Interesting.
The Starry Sky Pavilion was also looking for the little blue pill?
It seemed that this item could really improve one’s deduction ability. Otherwise, why would that guy from the Starry Sky Pavilion be looking for it?
Well...
Hence...
He called his disciple over.
“Master.”
The disciple knelt before him respectfully.
“Do you know what the little blue pill is?” he asked.
“I don’t know! I haven’t heard of it! Never bought it before! Neither have I used it!”
The disciple waved his hands continuously.
He was speechless.
“So, do you know about it or not?”
His aura was spreading.
This brat was worried that he would chide him?
“I do,” the disciple said honestly.
“Humph!”
He said in a low voice, “Go and get one for me to try.”
“Huh?”
The disciple looked dumbstruck.
“Master...”
“Hurry, go.”
His expression was ugly.
“Yes.”
The disciple excused himself frantically.
After a long time...
He took the little blue pill from his disciple. He was very curious. He then gingerly consumed a pill. After a long time, he actually felt his adrenaline going and his heartbeat becoming strong and energetic.
Eh...
It was actually effective!
Heaven did not deceive me!
Hence...
He requested the hyperlink for the store from his disciple and then sent it to the old guy of the Starry Sky Pavilion.
“Not bad. After this chance encounter ends, I have to do a bulk purchase...”
The old man felt grateful.
His disciple was so scared that he was trembling all over.
It was true.
In their industry, they imparted skills to men and not women. Therefore, they did not even have female disciples! However, his master wanted to take that thing. Could it be that recently, his master...
Ss——
His legs felt wobbly at the thought of this.
If that was really the case, was he still going to obey him?
...
At this very moment...
Qing Ming City.
Each cultivator wore a perplexed expression.
Rare encounter...
It should already have appeared!!!
How many hours had it been?
The sky had already turned dark!
They had wasted precious time traveling all the way to this place. Was it just for the purpose of looking at Qing Ming City’s night scenery?! What was there to see in this shabby city?!
According to rumors...
There were many dangers in the downtown area. That was the reason why they waited in the suburbs.
Over there...
The weather was super chilly.
Many cultivators were trembling from the cold winds in the suburbs.
After all...
Not everyone was an Energy Warrior!
Most of the people were keeping their energy and strength for the later when they entered the chance encounter. At this moment, they were trying their best to conserve as much energy as possible!
Whoosh...
Cold winds flew past them.
A group of people were shivering and jumping like ants.
Ss——
“It’s so cold!”
“Where’s the legacy site?”
“Exactly.”
“Could it have opened secretly? I heard that people have already gone into the ancient tomb.”
“Crap! Did you see that bald-headed teenager over there? He has an extraordinary background but he’s still waiting here! Amongst us, he is the most powerful and has the strongest backing! It is only when he leaves that the legacy site will be opened!”
“You’re right.”
The rest of the people were deeply convinced.
Powerful figures were still calmly waiting. What were they afraid of?!
“Is he really as powerful as what was said in the rumors?”
“Are they fake? You can tell from his hair. He became bald-headed at sixteen years old. That’s really rare...”
“You’re right.”
Everyone gasped.
They had worked so hard and only began to suffer from hair loss at thirty years old. Yet, this person’s hair was gone at fifteen or sixteen years old!
Who could match this?
He was in a different league!
They then thought about his terrifying background... Certainly, he must have burned a lot of midnight oil to cause such a thorough hair loss! According to the rumors, he was a six-star!
“Follow him.
“Once the legacy site is activated, tail him closely. I heard that he has a good temperament. As long as you don’t provoke him, he usually won’t kill people.”
“Understood.”
Some people glanced over.
They were well aware that, most of the time, the so-called chance encounter was a legacy site.
At this moment...
They were also waiting.
Once the legacy site was activated, be it an ancient tomb or an illusion, they would be highly rewarded if they were the first to rush in.
However...
The timing was really much longer than they had expected.
...
“Selling cold noodles
“Freshly cooked cold noodles...
Any takers?”
A man was pushing a pushcart and passing by the crowd.
He was shivering.
Out of curiosity, some people took a bite and furrowed their brows tightly. They then put the noodles down silently.
“Damn! Shouldn’t cold noodles be grilled [1.Grilled cold noodles is a local specialized snack of the Chinese province of Heilongjiang. It is a side dish, usually sold at night markets or roadside stands]?!
“Why are yours chilled?!”
“This is room temperature...” the man selling the cold noodles said.
Everyone looked at the weather and suppressed the impulse to beat him to death.
After a long time...
The man who sold the cold noodles left.
...
In a certain corner.
Zhang Wei said in a low voice, “How’s it?”
“There are many big shots. Men, women and bald-headed,” the one selling cold noodles said.
“Obviously!”
Zhang Wei glared at him. “Where’s the information that I told you to gather?”
“I heard a little of it.”
The man who sold cold noodles wiped his sweat. “They seem to be waiting for an earthshaking chance encounter. They say that it is going to appear but are unsure of what happened. Seemingly, some issues have arisen.”
“Issues have arisen...”
Zhang Wei was stunned.
Would issues arise for such things?
However...
Soon after, he thought of Lu Ming.
He had once analyzed all of Lu Ming’s movements. From the mine cave collapse in the early days to the demolishing of the old town, he knew almost everything and could also tell one thing...
As long as Lu Ming was around, it was impossible that no issues would arise!
And this time...
It must be because of Lu Ming.
However...
He did not know whether Lu Ming could get through it!
From the things that had happened, he knew that this was a major and bizarre situation. Even the higher-ups did not want to intervene in it.
Could Lu Ming really get through it?
It did not seem like he could!
Beep!
Beep!
Zhang Wei’s finger was tapping on the cold noodles pushcart.
After a long time...
He wrote some messages and sent them.
Buzz—
Message sending failed!
A huge exclamation mark appeared on the message that he wanted to send to Lu Ming.
Not surprisingly, Lu Ming was inside the ancient tombs and could not receive any messages. However, the other message had been sent successfully, clearly indicating that he had received it!
“In that case...
“I’m depending on you guys then...”
...
Time passed quietly.
Two hours later...
The sky darkened even more.
The cultivators were shivering. The array that they were expecting had not been activated.
“Don’t tell me we have been fooled...”
“Impossible! Those who can deduce such events are definitely veteran Scouts. Given their experience and knowledge, how could they possibly be fooled?!”
“Why not! My dad is a six-star Scout. Last week, he was fooled into buying a heap of health supplements...”
“Same for my dad. He’s a Doctorate in Theory Research and he was almost fooled into pyramid selling...”
People felt somewhat fearful after hearing this.
All of those who could afford to be there had a significant family background.
Why did this one sound... so pitiful and miserable?!
They had also participated in countless legacy sites and legacies. Basically, these were activated on time and dependent on favorable climate, geographical position and social factors!
It was never that messy!
Where was the promised one-of-a-kind chance encounter?
The timing was not even right!
Who were they trying to fool?!
...
At this very moment...
No one was aware that in the ancient tombs, at the center of the array, a card was attached to the ground and blocking the source of the sinister aura. It quietly absorbed the aura...
Shush!
Shush!
Sinister aura was surging.
This was because the sinister aura was constantly emerging due to the fights above it.
Afterward...
All of it surged into the Original Card.
Yes.
Lu Ming could not hold himself back any further and had taken action.
He always felt that he was not someone who would remain unwavering in the face of temptation. There was only one situation where he would not be swayed... That was... when the temptation was not great enough...
Obviously, this situation was enough!
What was the essence of the Sword Card Master?
The Original Card!
When the python appeared, Lu Ming dared to go all out. When the Phantom appeared, Lu Ming insisted on improving the Original Card even if he had to threaten the legacy. It was all for the sake of becoming more powerful!
Right now...
A sinister aura was coming out constantly and did not even belong to anyone!
It was drifting out from underground and looming around unnoticed. To Xiao-Xiaojian, this was the greatest temptation in the world...
Could anyone endure it?
Anyway, Xiao-Xiaojian could not. The card vibrated so much that Lu Ming’s thigh turned numb.
Lu Ming had no choice but to explain to Li Ergou that his alarm clock was not working well... And the strange look in Li Ergou’s eyes also conveyed clearly that he could not understand why an alarm clock had to be put inside a pocket...
It continued to vibrate even if it was broken...
Lu Ming felt very helpless too.
What could he do about it?
He could only release Xiao-Xiaojian...
Hence...
Under Classmate Li Ergou’s constant reminder to hide and be low-key, he quietly released the Original Card and blocked the source opening of the sinister aura.
Shush!
The world was peaceful now.
“Woo hoo~”
The Original Card was lying there and felt great.
After all...
It felt good to absorb it once. It felt even better to absorb it constantly!
It had tempered its body at the Phantom Legacy in the past. Once again, it was improving at a lighting speed and becoming increasingly powerful and terrifying!
It had been lying down for a few hours.
...
