MMORPG: The Almighty Ring

Chapter 589: Unexpected News

Jiang Fei spent some time with Si Tuying. They seemed so in love and had so much to say to each other. Only when Jiang Fei’s mother came home that the two of them separated reluctantly.

“Auntie, I’ll help you!” Si Tuying took the initiative to help Jiang Fei’s mother cook.

“You’re the best, Xiao Ying. You know how to treat me well, unlike the young master of our family. He never offers to help me with anything…” Jiang Fei’s mother said while she glared at him.

“How can you say something like that? Every single time I enter the kitchen, you kick me out with the excuse that boys shouldn’t be in the kitchen…” Jiang Fei muttered.

Although Jiang Fei was a little jealous of his mother being biased toward Si Tuying, he was also very happy that his mother and Si Tuying were getting along with each other harmoniously.

After a while, Jiang Fei’s father came home. Seeing that Jiang Fei was safe and sound, his father nodded with relief. After all, Jiang Fei’s parents were worried every time he went away.

The family had a good dinner together. Jiang Fei sent Si Tuying home. When he returned home, Jiang Fei finally logged into the game after more than a month.

“I thought you were never coming back…” Tears welled up in Isabella’s eyes. This was the first time Jiang Fei saw Isabella looking like this.

“I’m sorry… I’ve made you suffer…” As Jiang Fei had been away for more than a month, this meant that Isabella had been stuck in the dark room all alone for that long. He clearly knew that this kind of suffering was absolutely unimaginable.

“I’m not afraid of suffering, I’m just afraid of you getting into danger in your world. It would be great if I could go to your world and help you!” Isabella starting crying as Jiang Fei held her in his arms tightly.

“Husband, it’s great that you’re all fine!” A golden light flashed and Sylphy appeared next to Jiang Fei.

“We’ve been so worried all this time…” Nina also appeared shortly after. As the two of them had the level of strength of an Overlord, they could rush here at a high speed.

“Husband! Why did you disappear for so long?” A water light flashed. Even though Ariel did not have the power of an Overlord, the Contract of Devotion allowed her to instantly teleport to Jiang Fei.

“Something came up in my world, so I’ve been delayed for a while.” Jiang Fei was also very touched at this very moment. After all, there were so many girls who cared about him.

“If only we could go to your world and help you…” The girls present thought the same thing at the same time. However, the barriers between the two worlds made it impossible for these girls to know what the adventurer’s world was like.

…

At this time, in an underground base in the northwest of China, a voice shouted, “Leader, he’s online!”

“Oh?!” The leader who was a middle-aged man came to the monitor in a few steps.

“He’s finally back!” Another staff member said.

“Yeah! Whenever this kid is offline, the evolution of the experimental programs is obviously in a state of stagnation. He just came online moments ago and there are already obvious changes in the experimental programs number fifteen, nineteen, twenty-five and forty-two!” The researchers who were monitoring the evolution of the programs said.

“Considering this kid’s instability, you guys should increase the intensity of the experiment and perfect the experimental programs in the shortest possible time!” The team leader said after thinking for a moment.

“But, leader, if we stepped up the intensity of the experiment, will he notice it?” A staff on the side asked.

“Program number fifteen is already quite close to perfection. Even if he notices, it doesn’t matter. We don’t need to mass produce. As long as one program succeeds, our names will be recorded in history!” The team leader said, a little excited.

“Yes, leader!” Sure enough, the words “recorded in history” ignited the enthusiasm of these researchers.

…

At this time, Jiang Fei had no idea that an experimental project on him had started again. Although this experiment did not harm him in any way, no one would be happy if they were suddenly used as a guinea pig without their knowledge.

However, Jiang Fei who still had not noticed anything strange yet was currently busy comforting these NPC girls. As Hua Mulan had also rushed over, Jiang Fei was surrounded by a large group of girls. He was too busy to care about anything else.

After comforting these girls, Jiang Fei asked Rosette Rose and Lady Casanova about the players’ situation. More than a month had passed so the players had already adapted to the rules of the Faction area completely. At the same time, due to the high Experience rewards in the Faction area, the players’ levels had also increased significantly.

In the Dark Faction, the average level of players had exceeded Level 50, reaching Level 53. The players in the first group were all already above Level 55, and the top ten players in the Level Ranking Board were all Level 58 or 59.

Seven Stars Warrior who had reached Level 59 was still behind Jiang Fei, occupying the second place on the Level Ranking Board. According to Rosette Rose, Seven Stars Warrior should be able to reach Level 60 in a day or two.

In addition to the rapid growth in the strength of the players, it could be said that Empyreal Dragon was at the height of power and splendor, being the top guild in the Dark Faction!

At this time, the Demon Dragon Fortress had been completed. Due to the existence of the Constructor Beansprout, the Demon Dragon Fortress was impregnable. The fortress’s defensive power was almost equal to the Demon Flame Fortress that was a main fortress.

Moreover, Jiang Fei had also enshrined the Asukuna Orb that he once received on the altar in the Demon Dragon Fortress.

Asukuna Orb (Oblation, Legendary)

Special effects: Under the light of God, the Attack Power, Defense, Health Points, and Mana Points of all targeted allies within a one-kilometer radius are doubled!

Needed for activation: Asukuna Altar.

Remarks: After offering Asukuna Orb to Asukuna Altar, you can use 100,000 gold coins as a sacrifice to activate the special effect of the Orb, which will last for three hours.

With this Orb, Jiang Fei could instantly double the Defense of the fortress just by spending a little money. Even if the huge NPC army of the Light Faction attacked his Demon Dragon Fortress, he did not have to worry too much.

Other than the regular stuff, Rosette Rose also told Jiang Fei another news. That was, this year’s Professional Players Challenge was about to begin.

In fact, this Challenge should have already started a long time ago. After all, many professional players relied on such competitions to earn a living. However, because the four cities were not connected to each other previously, the organizers have not been able to organize the competition. Now that the four cities were combined, even though the Light and Dark Faction were against each other, this did not hinder the competition. So, after a month of preparations, the competition was about to begin.

Originally, Jiang Fei did not have much interest in this kind of competition. This was because he was currently way stronger than the average players. The professional players would not be able to make up for it with their skills at all. If he participated, he would definitely bully everyone else.

However, another news brought by Rosette Rose made Jiang Fei change his mind. Apparently, a rookie professional player had replaced the old professional players and was now the hottest candidate for the champion as he had an overwhelming amount of two million Health Points.
