Chapter 137: Chapter 136: Gate Of Hell Upgrade, Requesting Host’s Authorization!
"@Zhang Yue, big bro, when are you coming back? Without you, our monster-killing speed is halved."
A message from Wu Haotian popped up in the guild chat.
Zhang Yue: "Got a red name. Let me clear it first."
Wu Haotian: "???"
Wu Haotian: "Wait, how did you get a red name just by going on a date with Tian Xin'er? Did you… kill her???"
'Seriously…'
Lately, Zhang Yue felt like he was either clearing his sin points or on his way to do so.
With a red name, he couldn't enter safe zones, meaning he couldn't return to the Sixth Realm for now.
He had to clear his sin points here in the Fifth Realm first.
Zhang Yue checked his sin points.
'Oh boy!'
'5500 points?'
That meant Zhang Yue had killed 55 solo players just now.
"One monster equals 1 sin point. I need to kill 5500 monsters to clear all my sin points," Zhang Yue frowned.
With such a glaring red name, walking on the streets was like waving a giant target around.
Everyone knew: Red names have insanely high drop rates.
If someone like Zhang Yue, with a name practically black from sin, got killed, he'd lose all his gear—probably even his underwear.
As a result, many passing players lit up with excitement upon spotting Zhang Yue.
But the moment they saw his ID, [Lv38 Necromancer·Zero], they instantly chickened out.
In the distance, a nearsighted guy wielding a giant machete spotted the red name and charged excitedly.
"Red name, I love you, like a mouse loves rice~"
He sang with excitement, but when he got close enough to see Zhang Yue's ID, he collapsed smoothly onto his knees before him.
"Big bro, can I be your underling?"
"No. Scram."
"Got it!"
For someone who had just considered killing him, Zhang Yue was already being polite by not ending him.
Zhang Yue had thought about expanding the guild but hadn't found the right people yet.
Elite and rare-tier players like Lin Tian and Ning Tiantian were hard to come by.
But there was no rush.
Once they made a name for themselves in the upcoming Pro Player Tournament, top players would come flocking to [Heavens Hall] on their own.
Fortunately, having a red name didn't interfere with activating [Death's Eye]'s hidden event.
Zhang Yue activated the unique function of the Death's Eye on the spot.
The next moment, the Death's Eye in his hand radiated dazzling golden light and shot into the distant sky.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Dozens of golden beams streaked across the night sky, catching the attention of players grinding in various wild zones below.
"Babe! A shooting star!"
"Use your brain. Have you ever seen a sideways flying shooting star? That's clearly a UFO."
[Eastern Dawn Sanctuary, Gate Of Hell]
Amidst the wilderness stood the gate leading to hell, with many players coming and going.
Even though the treasure chests inside had long been looted…
This gate, sealed for 110 years before finally opening, had practically become a tourist attraction.
Countless players even logged in from different provinces just to witness the Gate Of Hell's majesty.
Suddenly, dozens of golden beams descended from the sky, flying into the Gate Of Hell.
The next second, every player inside was instantly "spit out" by the Gate Of Hell.
Then, with a massive tremor, as if something was about to burst forth, the Gate Of Hell closed abruptly, blocking all access.
At the same time, a system announcement echoed from the sky:
[Ding~ Attention: The Gate Of Hell has upgraded. Only [Death's Eye] hosts or authorized players may enter]
Outside the gate, complaints erupted:
"What the heck? I flew all the way here from Anyuan, and now I can't get in? Refund my travel expenses."
"Does 'upgrade' mean the treasures inside will refresh and be of higher quality than before?"
"Host? Who's the host? What's the Death's Eye?"
"Damn! I really want to get in. Host, please authorize me."
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue was on his way to the Gate Of Hell.
As the Death's Eye's host, Zhang Yue knew: Holders of the Death's Eye could freely enter the upgraded Gate Of Hell.
Additionally, he could authorize other players to enter by consuming Demon's Blood.
Every 10% Demon's Blood purity allowed for one authorization.
This restriction alone indicated how rare the upgraded Gate Of Hell was.
Players entering it would undoubtedly gain tremendous benefits.
Good loot should be shared with guildmates.
So, Zhang Yue sent a message in the guild chat:
"Get to the Fifth Realm now. I'm taking you to a great place."
Ouyang Ling'er: "Wow, the guild leader really knows how to surprise us."
Wu Haotian: "Bet he wants us to help him clear his red name. I'm not going."
Ning Tiantian: "Zhang Yue-gege, where are you?"
Zhang Yue: "Gate Of Hell."
Closing the guild chat, Zhang Yue continued heading toward the Gate Of Hell.
Just then…
In the distance, a large group of players suddenly charged toward him with fierce determination.
Seeing that all of them were fully equipped in golden gear and had IDs starting with [Glory Guild], Zhang Yue frowned slightly, raising his staff, ready for battle.
But surprisingly, they weren't coming for Zhang Yue.
They seemed to be in a hurry and completely ignored Zhang Yue, the big red name.
Rushing past him, over a hundred Glory guild members charged toward an unknown destination.
Faintly, Zhang Yue could hear their leader shouting:
"Hurry up! This time, Tian Xin'er only has Miss Su from Linhai City and a bodyguard with her. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue froze.
———
[Fifth Realm Wild Zone, Lv38 Man-Eating Rat Tribe]
The map was packed with players.
That was because half an hour ago, someone had activated a [Tenfold Energy] buff there.
Everyone flocked to enjoy the free buff.
In the map's center, Tian Xin'er and Su Jinyan were hunting man-eating giant rats together.
The sight of two beauties teaming up drew countless admiring glances from surrounding players.
Especially since they were not only beautiful but also insanely powerful.
Su Jinyan specialized in control, while Tian Xin'er handled explosive damage.
With a Lv36 Rare-tier Flowing Light Assassin and a Lv36 Epic-tier Forbidden Mage, the two worked together flawlessly, wiping out giant rats one after another.
During a break between fights…
Tian Xin'er couldn't help but marvel, "Su Su, your seamless control is amazing."
Su Jinyan smiled, "Your damage output is even better. We're unbeatable together."
Just as they shared a warm moment…
Suddenly, a commotion erupted nearby.
BOOM!
A large group of Glory guild players charged toward them.
The lead knight pointed at Tian Xin'er and shouted:
"It's her! Get her!"
Weapons raised, the guild members charged menacingly toward Tian Xin'er and Su Jinyan.
