Chapter 378: Chapter 253: The Great Library Adventure_1

"Son of Heaven? Damn, that’s a pretty crazy name!"

Lion was the first to react after hearing the intel from Aquarius.

"I’ve heard of Son of Heaven; quite a famous player from Eastern Europe. He was level 19 a month ago, and recently seems to be very active in Europe. It is said that he’s repeatedly helped Europe break two towers. Whether he got the final blow is uncertain, but it’s highly possible that he is now level 20, or even higher," Libra remarked.

"I’ve heard of him too. His group, ’Divine Right of Kings’, is one of the top player organizations in Europe. In the global player power rankings, they can easily be within the top ten. In terms of strength, they might even surpass us, the Ice Emperors," Sagittarius said.

Mu You frowned slightly.

He had seen ’Divine Right of Kings’ mentioned in some forum threads, but he hadn’t looked further into it.

Now, hearing what the others had to say, it seemed it was a formidable organization. It was at least on par with the Ice Emperors, which meant they had more than seven advanced players!

The first organization competing with him for Dawn City turned out to be one that can rank among the world’s top ten.

What’s more, the group seemed to have collected three shards already...

Though Aquarius mentioned that this intel came from the skin talent Windtalker, based on the skin’s name, the source of the intelligence felt a little elusive.

But more often than not, intelligence obtained in such a way could be true. From the opposing force’s perspective, this kind of intel would definitely not be widely broadcasted. Only insiders could have discussed it.

"This is becoming troublesome..." Mu You sighed inwardly. These major powerhouses really moved fast. The quest had only been launched a few days ago, and they were already this prepared.

Excluding his two and five shards, it was highly likely that one and nine would be among three from the remaining seven shards. Plus, these people were acting very decisively, which could quite possibly mean that they’ve already figured out the location of the entrance to Dawn City. Now, they are just waiting for the nine shards to gather in one place to open Dawn City.

Of course, since Mu You held two shards, unless he actively cooperated with them, it would take them quite a lot of time to find the other six shards. So, at least before they locate him, there’s no need to worry about Dawn City being occupied in advance.

"Alright, let’s wrap up the intelligence exchange and begin the card exchange for today."

Noticing that half of the meeting time had already passed, Mu You immediately ended the conversation and directed the meeting back on course.

"Following our tradition, I’ll start..."

Mu You displayed seven cards on his side: Small Fireball, Wooden Clone, Life Barrier, Life Draining, Rapid Growth, Giant’s Fist.

All of these cards were exchanged from his hand since the beginning of the meeting. The two others, Lightning Ball Technique and Annihilation Technique, were left for the clone to display. As for the other cards, he possessed them but did not bring them out.

After the first three meetings, Mu You realized the ’grocery store’ style of card exchange was not very appropriate, as it facilitated others to exchange cards with him, but it also made it harder for the original owners of the cards to let them go.

So from the fourth meeting onward, after learning that Spell Scrolls can be replace with Black Magic, Mu You began only displaying his own cards.

It subsequently became an unspoken rule during the meetings: Each person was to avoid using other people’s produced cards as trade items.

Granted there were exceptions. For instance, if there was a card someone particularly needed, they could temporarily use someone else’s card for an exchange, but they had to compensate the original maker with another new duplicated card. Everyone was happy with this arrangement, it eliminated conflicts.

Another exception was for unique cases like Scorpio. With his Space-Time Crystal, getting him to produce Space-Time cards was very challenging, so when he used others’ cards for an exchange, everyone understood.

After displaying his cards, Mu You also specifically explained the new card, ’Giant’s Fist’.

However, at that point, there was sudden commotion coming from Taurus’s seat. Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to her.

They saw her hand trembling, as if she were handling a hot potato, she threw something on the ground, landing it at the front.

It was the tablet Mu You had given her.

Luckily, the build quality of the tablet was good enough that it didn’t break after the fall. On the black and white screen, the classic scene of Sadako coming out of the TV was just being played.

Everyone turned to see Taurus and they were a bit taken aback: How can someone of your caliber be afraid of this?

"Slipped my hand."

Noticing everyone’s line of sight, the woman calmly explained, not caring whether others believed her or not. With a flick of her finger, she summoned the thrown-out tablet back.

However, this time, she didn’t dare hold the tablet directly to watch the movie, instead, she put it on a stand at the edge of the table before continuing with it.

The others even found this stranger now.

"Ahem... Taurus, it’s your turn," Mu You took the initiative to break the ice, "Any cards to showcase?"

Having explained the meeting rules in detail last time, the woman understood how they exchanged cards. She shook her head and answered, "I’ve only made one card as of now, so I don’t have any extra cards for exchange."
