A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Next day, Bai Ye woke up early after sleeping early.
After washing and breakfast, it was about 7:30 AM.
The in-game rain still poured.
Bai Ye watched TV listlessly and browsed the Nameless Forum.
News of yesterday's market attack spread.
Many players who survived vented anger at officials online.
Officials silently tolerated it.
What else could they do?
It was reality—they had to find and punish the enemy's backers.
At this moment, Bai Ye chatted with Wang Si, who was also browsing the forum.
Wang Si had learned Bai Ye's forum ID and added him.
After hearing about the attack, Wang Si felt relieved.
Wang Si: "Good thing I left early yesterday. Officials deserve scolding, but too bad I missed seeing your power."
111111: "Just a small skill, not that powerful."
Wang Si: "Still awesome, Extraordinary power! Hey boss, how did you get extraordinary power?"
111111: "Hehe, sounds like you're probing for info?"
Wang Si: "Hehe, just asking because you know a lot. Don't worry, won't ask in vain. If you need anything, just say; I'll help."
Bai Ye smiled lightly.
Rich kids knew social skills well.
He could tell Wang Si wanted to build relations.
He didn't mind—he needed connections too.
111111: "Okay, since you said that, I won't be polite. If you get me some obsidian in-game, I'll answer any questions you have."
Wang Si: "Obsidian? Extraordinary material?"
111111: "No, just a stone."
Wang Si: "Hehe, don't worry; if not Extraordinary, I can get it. Give me some time."
Wang Si logged off.
Bai Ye waited patiently.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Caller ID: Ni Meng.
"Already interrogated so fast?"
Bai Ye guessed why and answered.
Ni Meng's voice:
"Sorry to disturb?"
"Not at all. What's up?"
"We finished interrogations last night about those guys you asked about."
"Oh? What's the result?"
Ni Meng's voice was cold:
"Just as I suspected—they're foreigners, a criminal group called Dawn. Originally mercenaries, but knowing about the game, they changed into a player-focused organization."
"Dawn?"
Bai Ye's eyes flickered—he recognized the name.
After thinking, he was shocked.
This was an active group last life, with many strong members, mainly killing humans.
Rumor said they even pledged to an Evil God.
Unexpected to see them now.
"Wait..."
"Damn, I remember why the market felt familiar yesterday."
He suddenly recalled something.
In Last Life, Dawn's first action was in X Nation's M City, exactly the Suburb Abandoned Factory hosting yesterday's market.
That action angered X Nation and led to a crackdown nearly wiping out Dawn.
They were silent for months until pledging to an Evil God, then growing strong again.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye relaxed.
He feared his power display might attract foreign groups, but Dawn would be hit hard by X Nation officials, so no worry.
"No news?"
Ni Meng asked.
Bai Ye sighed, "Surprising they're so bold to come here."
"Hmph, just testing."
"Testing?"
"Yes."
Ni Meng explained:
"Since players can kill players and loot their items, even shelters, some want to kill instead of explore."
"And Dawn has foreign ties."
"Political factors and their ambition make them test X Nation."
"Some countries are chaotic due to the game. They test and if they see chaos, they expand it."
"Got it."
Bai Ye realized it was all international power struggles.
Dawn was the vanguard due to benefits.
"What will you do now?"
"We won't let Dawn go."
Ni Meng's cold tone implied a fate like last life.
They changed topic due to secrecy.
Bai Ye asked about his reward.
Ni Meng said:
"We have some Rare Metals here. Which do you want?"
"Can I choose?"
"Of course. You helped a lot."
"Then I won't be polite."
He thought and asked:
"Do you have Light-Absorbing Crystals?"
Obsidian was arranged by Wang Si, no problem with money.
Next needed: Rare Metals.
Light-Absorbing Crystal was what he wanted.
