Chapter 266: Chapter 212: Corona City_2

Mu You found himself in an awkward situation. While the others present might be envious of the opportunity to personally glimpse the luxury mansion of a Dragon Group big shot, he himself was not really interested!

Even the most expensive residence could not tempt him to abandon his pet shop and move to the capital. Moreover, the house in such a crucial location was not something that could be easily resold.

If he couldn’t live in it and couldn’t sell it off, wouldn’t the mansion just become a burden to him?

So, after stepping off the stage, Mu You quickly found the person who had won the second prize and negotiated a swap with him.

Half an hour later, he looked at the newly credited 5000 points added to his Dragon Soars account and smiled. Indeed, points were the most practical.

After a night of noise and commotion, Mu You returned to the pet shop at eight o’clock the next morning.

His arrival at home was quickly interrupted by a phone call from Zhang Yang. He informed Mu You that they had granted his application for the qualification to join and asked him to rush to the headquarters of the B-city Business Union before five o’clock that afternoon, where someone would guide him.

"The Business Union..."

Mu You was taken aback. He remembered that the Blood Emperor had promised to ask other forces about the ’gate’, but he had never expected that the Business Union would be the first to respond.

B-city was located at the top of the East Sea, not far from K-city. It was just a one or two-hour drive away. Mu You casually bought a train ticket for noon and left it at that.

Lin Xue and Little Ya had already arrived at the pet shop early, diligently focusing on their games.

After returning home, Mu You went upstairs to tidy up, and added food and water to all the pets that had been hungry for a day in the space.

When he finished with his chores, he finally picked up his phone and logged into Fool.

Once online, he found his character still stationed at the Ghost Ship.

[The Ghost Ship has arrived at ’Corona City’ and has been blocked by a large magic barrier in front of the city’s waterway.]

[The spherical magic barrier, like a protective shield, covers the entire city. It has enormous power, blocking all the waterways of the city, preventing enemy spying, and infiltration. Only ships presenting a pass are allowed through. Any ship attempting to forcibly break through the barrier will be counterattacked by the barrier’s energy until both ship and crew are destroyed.]

[You presented the ’Waterway Pass’ to the barrier. The barrier approved your identity and automatically let you through.]

[The Ghost Ship successfully crossed the barrier. However, you quickly encountered an artificial checkpoint set up inside the city canal. What do you choose to do...]

There were two choices below: [Kill the witnesses], [Bribe the security personnel].

Mu You naturally chose to bribe them.

While it was true that killing those guarding the checkpoint would allow him to pass this obstacle, he would likely have to confront numerous blockades afterward.

In contrast, it was common knowledge that pirates and the Imperial Royal Family had a covert connection. The practice of bribing one’s way through with treasures had become an accepted rule.

Every month, some pirate ships with passes would come into port for rest and replenishment. The checkpoint personnel had long become indifferent to such occurrences. They didn’t care what kind of shady business you did, as long as you were willing to pay, they would let you through.

[You chose to bribe the checkpoint personnel.]

[You ordered a skeleton to give half of the treasures from the treasure room to the personnel who came to check, thereby avoiding being inspected. The Ghost Ship successfully entered the port.]

After entering the city, Mu You estimated the time and directly steered the ship into the underground waterway.

[The Ghost Ship enters the dim underground waterway area...]

[...After traveling for a while, you docked about 500 meters away from the underground river port.]

[On the muddy shore made of wetlands and pebbles, you saw over twenty players waiting. Each had a conspicuous ID above their heads, indicating that they were all Fools.]

[Player ’Gu Ying’ has issued a boarding application, and paid one year of life as a ticket, do you agree?]

"Agree."

[Player ’Grey’ has issued a boarding application...]

[Player ’One-Man Show’ has issued a boarding application...]

...

Twenty-six boarding applications sprang up consecutively. Mu You approved each one, and instantly received twenty-six years of life.

However, he did not appear personally.

Previously, Mu You and Lin Xue had tested and found that his information could be completely hidden on the Ghost Ship. All the news will be issued under the identity of the ’Captain of the Ghost Ship’.

Corona City was one of the meeting places agreed upon between Mu You and the other members of the Secret Technique Association. At that time, Aquarius and Cancer were the only two who shared in the private chat that they were in Corona City.

So these two should be among these twenty-six people right now. The other people were their friends.

Mu You quickly scanned the list of boarders and soon identified an ID called ’Sunflower’, who was likely Aquarius, as this was the only player on site who was below level ten and wore a female avatar.

As for Cancer, it was difficult to identify. Cancer did not specify his exact level, initially estimated to be between 11-13, and there were many people of this level on scene.

Out of a total of 26 people, only 6 were below level 10, the rest were all players who had evolved once above level 10. There weren’t any above level 15 though.

After everyone had boarded the ship, Mu You then entered several prepared ship regulations into the game and notified everyone.

The rules were also very simple. Firstly, one was not allowed to run around. If anyone got off the ship without permission halfway, don’t expect to get back on, as he won’t be turning back to pick them up.

Second, while on the ship, attacking each other and damaging the ship were prohibited. Violators would be immediately kicked off the ship.
