272 Chapter 231

Richard's mind raced.

He did not expect to get such pivotal information from Where's Your F*cking Italian Cannon.

No wonder he had not encountered any players. It turned out that it was not a map where players were born.

But why would he be here? A bug appeared?

What about the dimensional planes that appeared in the later versions?

Countless questions raced through his mind.

He took a few deep breaths to suppress his emotions.

[Qingqiu: Is this news genuine?]

[Where's Your F*cking Italian Cannon: Of course, it's genuine! My sister is the planner of one of the departments in the game "Shining Era"...]

[Although a lot of information has changed after the "Shining Era" became a reality…]

[But the basic settings shouldn't be wrong.]

[My sister has also verified the information in her hands. No changes in the more basic information as the length of time, the changes in the four seasons, and the geographical layout.]

[The only change is in some of the game plots. For example, the divine artifacts stored in certain places may no longer exist…]

Richard's expression changed.

Being born in the desert, the lack of resources was already a start.

Now, it had grown steadily through hunting and exploration.

Now, someone has told him this was not peaceful. Not only would it merge with other dimensional planes in the future, but a large number of powerful monsters would also appear.

Just thinking about it made his head hurt.

[Qingqiu: Do you know after the first version update, the death desert will connect to other dimensions?]

[Where's Your F*cking Italian Cannon: Brother Qingqiu, I do not know. It stands to reason that after the first large-scale instance dungeon, there should be a version update. But now, there is nothing, so this information is inaccurate.]

[According to my sister's explanation, it might take at least two or three years, but it's hard to say. It is the kind of change that happens…]

[Qingqiu: I understand. Thank you. Is there any more news about the desert of death?]

[Where's Your F*cking Italian Cannon: No, my sister just mentioned it. I'll help you ask later.]

He asked curiously.

[Where's Your F*cking Italian Cannon: Brother Qingqiu, are you in the death desert?]

Richard didn't try to hide anything.

[Qingqiu: That's right, I haven't found any other players around me.]

[Where's Your F*cking Italian Cannon: Awesome! You're the only one who has a map!]

Some of the basic information he had before seemed incorrect.

[Where's Your F*cking Italian Cannon: I finally know why you're so powerful! Sigh, if only I were born in the desert! Maybe I can get first place in the dungeon points and show off in front of 20 billion overlords. Just thinking about it makes me excited…]

Richard's mouth twitched.

'If you were in the desert, a sandstorm could send you to heaven.'

When Richard thought of this, he looked at his Desert Lord talent.

Perhaps, he was born in the death desert because of his unique talent?

He didn't struggle after he couldn't think of a reason. It had already become a fact, so it was useless to think about it now.

After he continued to chat with the other party for a while, Where's Your F*cking Italian Cannon suddenly asked.

[Brother Qingqiu, do you still have any rare resources? I've acquired a special construction blueprint that requires 5000 units of mercury. Can you lend me some?]

[The rare resources outside are too expensive. Aren't those greedy people afraid of being struck by lightning when they sell them at such a high price? I'm as poor as a dog now…]

Richard glanced at his attribute panel. After he attacked the gray-colored dwarf underground city, he plundered thousands of mercury.

They had enough ammunition now.

Although this guy was usually quite uncowed, when Gray transformed into an A-rank hero and needed an extremely precious mummy's heart, he did not hesitate to take it out.

He had always remembered this favor in his heart.

One must repay revenge and kindness. These were Richard's principles.

Moreover, his opinion tells the favor he owed last time was worth more than 5000 units of rare resources.

It was an A-rank hero. Its value was simply immeasurable.

Where's Your F*cking Italian Cannon pondered.

'I feel like I'm a little insensible. At this critical moment, who can easily lend out thousands of units of rare resources?'

Moreover, he might not have that much face.

After some thought, he was about to send a message to smooth things over when he suddenly heard an email notification.

He opened it.

[Ding~ You have received 5000 units of mercury from Qingqiu. Do you want to collect it?]

Where's Your F*cking Italian Cannon was stunned for a moment and then felt a strong sense of emotion.

[Brother Qingqiu, from today onwards, you are my brother-in-law. I must introduce my sister to you!!]

Richard didn't bother to answer. After he told him to help him discover more about the death desert, he suddenly remembered that this guy had been lucky to get good treasures.

The other party was the child of fortune, and the few treasures he had obtained in the early stages were all sold by this fellow.

He asked while it intended to try.

[Qingqiu: My territory doesn't have a city wall for the time being. I won't need to return these resources if you can help me find a city wall construction drawing with special effects.]

[If it's expensive, I can pay for the difference.] He added.

[Where's Your F*cking Italian Cannon: Brother-in-law! You're my father! Your business is my business! I'll help you find a remarkable city wall construction blueprint!]

As he said that, he sent several messages about his sister's 36D, her long legs covered in black silk, and how she was gentle and easy to push over.

Richard's face darkened, and he closed the [Forum Chat]. He ignored the guy.

Not to mention the last favor, just by learning the truth about the death desert from the other party, he felt that it would be worth it even if he had to spend 5000 units of rare resources.

This news directly affected the life and death of the territory.

When Richard thought of the sudden appearance of a troop from another dimension in the death desert, he reflected himself in the dark and felt a lingering fear in his heart.

Twilight City would probably suffer heavy losses if caught off guard and encountered such a situation.

Where's Your F*cking Italian Cannon was his lucky star. It always brought him unexpected things.

Richard gently collected his thoughts.

He turned his attention back to the two items in his hands–the ancient god statue that had devoured twelve giant crystals and the treasure he got from the corpse of the half-murloc lord.

In addition, they stored the hollow crystal ball that the twelve crystals protected in the internal space of the ancient god statue, together with the divine soul.

A god left behind this item, and one could simply judge its value.

Just as Richard was about to check his attributes...

'Plop!'

Suddenly, the soft sound of splashing waves entered his ears.

Richard lowered his head and looked in the direction of the voice.

A figure splashed muddy water two hundred meters below him.

As it floated, its strength was supremely delicate.

It seemed like it could sink at any moment.

He focused his attention and looked over. After he saw the figure clearly, his eyes widened.

A centaur boss?

His entire inner person immediately became spirited.

After he looked closer, he confirmed the figure was the centaur boss!

However, the centaur boss was no longer the 10-meter tall, god-like existence.

At this moment, the other party's body had shrunk several times and was only one or two heads taller than an average human. Its front hooves splashed water.

Its aura was no longer as strong as before. But instead, it was as weak as a candle in the wind.

Richard didn't check the two treasures' attributes. His body descended and landed tens of meters above the other party's head.

However, Richard maintained his vigilance and didn't rush to get close. Instead, he opened the other party's attribute panel.

[Ancient Guardian]

[Boss Unit]

[Level: 9]

[Status: Power is rapidly depleting]

When Richard saw the attributes, his expression showed interest.

'After the land of the broken laws collapsed, this guardian with a demigod body also lost his power?

'If that were the case, wouldn't that mean…'

Richard's breathing hastened.

As he waited patiently, the other party's level still dropped.

Level 9 became level 8. Then it dropped to 7, 6... Finally, it stopped at level 1.

After Richard could no longer sense the danger, he turned to the figure.

A massive sense of joy rose in his heart.

He was going to make a profit this time!
