Chapter 732: Chapter 377 Tyrant_1

Around noon, Mu You returned to City K. Instead of hurrying back to the pet shop, he first visited the City K Abnormalities Bureau Headquarters and resolved Mian Mian’s identity issue.

Now that the Undead could be uprooted, Mian Mian wouldn’t be a target for a chase anymore. As she would be living long-term in the pet shop, she couldn’t continue hiding in his backpack every day. Eventually, she would be found out, so he better decided her identity early to avoid being considered an unknown population.

After completing a lot of paperwork, by the time Mu You returned to the pet shop, it was already night.

"Boss!" Little Ya stood at the door to greet Mu You.

The few days he was away, the shop hadn’t operated. It was Little Ya who tended to the shop.

As for Lin Xue, after delivering Mian Mian, she had returned to the Lin family. This time, she had to use her mourning bell twice, so quite a few of her attributes were depleted. She needed more time for recovery.

"Where’s the little girl?" Mu You asked.

"In your room."

Little Ya answered, then worriedly added: "She’s still sleeping, she has been sleeping all day..."

"That’s okay. Let her sleep."

Mu You nodded in understanding.

When Lin Xue returned during the day, she had taken her to the doctor. Unfortunately, they didn’t find out anything concrete, only an initial diagnosis of severe hypnolepsy.

Typically, hypnolepsy is caused by psychological issues and can be alleviated with medication. But Mian Mian’s case was more complicated due to her dual problems- physical and mental. When she still had Meng Meng’s appearance, she never felt too sleepy. However, ever since Mian Mian’s consciousness was awakened, her sleepiness became more and more frequent.

While the two were talking, the Shadow Ghost suddenly poked its head out of Mu You’s shadow. It startled Little Ya, making her shriek.

"Boss, be careful!"

The recent Shadow Ghost incidents both in the country and in Japan had stirred up a lot of noise. Even ordinary people learned about the existence of Shadow Ghosts and were wary of these destructive creatures.

"Don’t worry, this guy is my pet. It won’t attack us," Mu You hastily explained.

"Oh..." Little Ya was still somewhat baffled. Could such a thing also be kept as a pet?

The Shadow Ghost didn’t pay any attention to them. After ensuring that the area was safe, it crawled out of the Shadow Space and anxiously floated towards the second floor, not forgetting to drag the Shadow Fur Ball with it.

"If you want to stay here, don’t attract too much attention. Don’t let people see you!" Mu You shouted at it.

"Gaga..."

The Shadow Ghost made a low humming sound from its mouth, seeming to say ’I got it.’ Consequently, it quickly shrunk to the size of a normal human shadow, hugged the Shadow Fur Ball, and ran into Mu You’s room to check on Mian Mian.

"This guy..."

Mu You shook his head helplessly. The Shadow Ghost refused to go back into the box, and he could only let it roam freely. Fortunately, it can communicate and is relatively obedient. He would teach it more rules in the future to prevent it from being exposed in front of others.

It was already late at night. After briefly reporting the situation in the shop for the past few days, Little Ya went home first.

Mu You then took out his phone and checked the news on the forum.

Currently, there were five highlighted hot posts on the forum homepage. Among them, two were about Dawn City. One was a statistical post about last night’s Shadow God battle, which had seven-digit replies. It was filled with the Residents of Dawn City openly sharing their gains.

The other one was a post started by the captain of some Dawn City pioneering team. The title was "Tragedy, we were kicked out halfway through the sixth boss’s round. Who’s unluckier than I am?"

"They’ve made it to the sixth boss?"

Mu You was surprised and clicked in to take a look.

The gist of the post was that their pioneering team had been working hard to explore the map for days. With their exceptional luck, they found the location of the sixth boss’s lair before any other teams last night.

However, when they entered the boss palace ready to take down the boss, the Shadow God just appeared. The result was the city automatically entering war mode; all the players in the Underground City were kicked out, including them.

What was more unfortunate was that they were defeated by the Shadow God’s ultimate move and fell into a one-day resurrection cooldown.

This meant that the path to the sixth layer was now completely open, leaving only the final boss.

Normally, they could have taken down this boss, but now all players entered the resurrection cooldown at the same time. When the cooldown was over, competition would skyrocket when tens of millions of people logged in simultaneously. Their chances of taking down the sixth boss would become extremely slim.

Moreover, there was no need to wait for most people to resurrect. There were still surviving players in Dawn City, like the City Lord and the two million players he recently agreed to let into the city.

Those two million new players had to start from scratch in the Underground City. They would have six opportunities in total, today and tomorrow. It would be almost impossible for them to make it to the sixth floor in one go.

But what about the City Lord?

He had taken down many bosses and had just harvested the Ghost Captain from the Shadow God last night. Even if he was alone, no one would doubt his strength.

In the post, many people were mentioning the Ghost Captain, asking him to hurry and see if he could take advantage of the opportunity to harvest the sixth boss.

Even the original poster was calling out to Mu You, hinting they could cooperate.

The poster’s name was ’the more you hide, the more evident it becomes,’ and he was a level 20 player.

Mu You checked backstage. Indeed, he had left a message: "City Lord, if you have time, let’s discuss a transaction."
