Chapter 72

"Hey, you should rest for a while too. ≧" The next day, as Lei looked at the breakfast placed in front of her, she couldn't help but say to Zheng Chen, noticing the fatigue on his face that was hard to hide.

"Alright." Zheng Chen glanced at Xi Ya and walked into the tent to rest. He didn't say much, just that he would get up immediately if anything happened outside.

Because of what happened last night, he decided to stay here for a few days.

On the other hand, Chen Kai was also busy. On one hand, he had the guild members keep an eye on the little girl who had a major connection to the Sky City. On the other hand, he was busy with matters concerning Zheng Chen.

"President, your request is hard to fulfill. Where can we find a ship to the outside world at this time? We need to wait at least half a month." Vice President Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but say.

His real name was Wang Qingjie. Initially, he planned to name himself "Lonely Tiger" when he first entered the game, but considering how different this game was from traditional games, he abandoned this name and chose a more neutral one.

Tsk, if it can't be used, it can't be used. I can use it as a title later.

"Don't say it's hard to do. I need it done in five days, and I'll cover the expenses in real life!" Chen Kai said directly. Half a month? By then, the situation would have cooled down. It's because there are no large passenger ships coming here recently that people can compete here with peace of mind!

"In any case, the sooner the better. I'm counting on you, Xiaohu. This is crucial for our future development."

Wang Xiaohu's lips twitched, feeling a bit frustrated. Even if the expenses are covered, it's still a tall order. Where can we find a ship at this time?

"I'll try my best."

Chen Kai also knew this was a tall order and shook his head in a dilemma. "Try your best. If we're lucky, we can get a powerful ally."

Wang Xiaohu also knew who Chen Kai was referring to and understood the benefits of completing this task. If successful, their chances of achieving their goal would go from slim to almost certain. If not, they would have to rely on luck and compete.

"Just a ship to the outer domain, right?" Wang Xiaohu asked specifically. After getting Chen Kai's confirmation, his troubled expression lessened. If it's just a ship to the outer domain, there might be a chance to find one. There are no official airships, but there are black ships!

However, those are the worst options. The safety of black ships is very poor, and more than half of the trips might end in disaster. Many players who tried to save money have already experienced this.

Maybe we can contact someone with a private airship?

Wang Xiaohu quickly thought of feasible solutions and sent out commands one by one. No matter what, find a suitable one first!

In three days, Wang Xiaohu had gathered a lot of useful information, but most of it was about black ships, which made him particularly frustrated. At this time, these were the only options available. There were no official passenger ships during this period.

Flipping through the information, he was a bit worried. At this point, he could only choose the best of the worst. If Zheng Chen is not satisfied, all the efforts of these days will be in vain.

Even if it's in vain, we can't do anything to him.

"More official, more official... Oh!" Wang Xiaohu's eyes lit up. He threw the audio files aside and picked up the one he saw. This one wasn't about a black ship but a private one... though still private.

Putting this file aside, he continued to read the rest. Clearly, none of them were as good as the one he saw. Private... a bit worrying.

This continent isn't very prosperous and is even more backward compared to other continents. Because of this backwardness, it's very hard to find a ship to the outer domain.

If it were a more prosperous area, you could easily find a ship to other outer domains in any big city. Of course, if the destination is a remote place, you still need to wait.

After contacting Chen Kai, Wang Xiaohu stood up. He planned to talk to the owner of the private airship to see if they could take a few more people...

Unexpectedly, although he didn't meet the owner of the private airship, he got a smooth response. The owner had some strange requirements, asking detailed questions about who would be boarding and making him wait for half a day before giving a response.

"Hmm? Reliable?" On the fifth day, Chen Kai asked with some doubt. A private airship... well, in other words, a private plane. Poor people can't afford it.

"Should be..." Wang Xiaohu was also a bit uncertain. After all, players' roots in this world are too shallow, and they haven't deeply understood many things. This might be good luck, "But it's better than those black ships."

"..." Chen Kai thought for a moment, "I'll ask his opinion."

The decision was still in Zheng Chen's hands. He wanted to do this well. This cooperation is a beginning, and if it goes well, there will be more opportunities in the future.

After finding Zheng Chen again, he immediately explained the situation, even mentioning the current state of the continent. If Zheng Chen isn't in a hurry, he could provide a ticket for an official passenger ship in one or two weeks.

Hmm... but he seems quite anxious. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to do this. Chen Kai thought. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but after just five days, Zheng Chen's face looked even paler.

Is he injured?

Well, a dead camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if Zheng Chen's condition looks off, it's not something they can handle. They also can't ignore Xi Ya, who is with Lei!

Similarly, just five days without seeing this monster woman, and Xi Ya occasionally gave off a chilling aura, like facing a higher predator.

"No, just this one." Zheng Chen said calmly, "When do we leave?"

"The owner said anytime." Chen Kai scratched his head. The owner of the private airship was quite cooperative.

"Alright, let's get to business."

Chen Kai was overjoyed, knowing what Zheng Chen meant. "Let me explain the specific situation."

He didn't hold back and directly explained their plan. Chen Kai wasn't worried about anyone eavesdropping; he still remembered the encounter that night vividly!

After explaining the situation in detail, he hesitantly mentioned the important figure in the Sky City, the girl named Hida. Because multiple forces were watching her, no one dared to make a move first, so she was currently in a stable environment.

Players also had other concerns, such as the native forces!

The government of this continent was also searching for the Sky City, and a group of air pirates was lingering nearby.

"No need to find her. I know the location of the Sky City."

Zheng Chen's words left Chen Kai stunned. After a while, he couldn't help but exclaim, "What the hell? Is this some hidden game benefit?"

Just by handling Zheng Chen, they could get the exact location of the Sky City!?

Is it really that easy!? This is too lucky!

"The condition is that you can cross a super-large tornado."

"..." The excited Chen Kai felt like he was doused with cold water, "What?"

What's a super-large low-pressure system? Why is there such a thing at the Sky City!?

With this, how can we get there? They had simple flying devices, but those devices weren't very durable. The technology level of this continent wasn't high, but the flying devices were quite unique, being lightweight.

Of course, their protective capabilities were also poor.

"I can guide you, but how you enter is up to you." Zheng Chen said calmly. A ticket wasn't worth much to him, and he hadn't considered helping further.

The competition was their own business.

He wasn't interested in that Sky City.

Chen Kai opened his mouth, and Zheng Chen's response was reasonable. After all, he only provided a ticket. How could Zheng Chen assist them throughout? Getting the location of the Sky City from him was already a huge gain... no, from the current perspective, it was a great deal. As time passed, other players' patience would decrease.

In the end, it would come down to who couldn't hold back first.

By taking this advantage, they could find the Sky City before others, and by the time others react, it would be too late. How to hold it afterward is another matter.

But the super-large low-pressure system Zheng Chen mentioned... how can they enter with just a few broken ships!?

Wait... if the Holy War Angel with Zheng Chen is wind-attribute, with his help, it might be possible?

"Is there anything else you need?" Chen Kai asked.

Zheng Chen shook his head, "No."

"..." Can't you refuse so quickly?

"Employment? We can pay." He persisted, though it felt unreliable. As expected, Zheng Chen's response confirmed his thoughts.

"No time."

Are we going to miss this chance? If we can't handle the low-pressure system, knowing the location is useless! If we wait too long, everyone will still be on the same starting line. Perhaps the girl has a special way, but moving her might expose them, leaving them with no chance. Therefore, they must seize this opportunity and get Zheng Chen's help!

"How about this?" Chen Kai reluctantly took out a round stone.
