Chapter 81 Offline (Ninth Update)

When Lin Hanchuan opened his eyes again, he was lying in the game pod, and what came into his pupils was a white ceiling.

Lin Hanchuan bought the latest model of the game pod officially launched by [Descent]. The advertisement claims it is of aerospace-grade quality and provides the latest hibernation fluid, allowing players to immerse themselves in the fluid and maintain a deep sleep. Even if they play continuously for a month, there will be no problems.

Meanwhile, when a player chooses to exit the game, the intelligent system inside the game pod will immediately retrieve the hibernation fluid, open the game pod door, and activate the drying mode before the player wakes up.

After getting up from the gaming pod, Lin Hanchuan put on his clothes, drew back the curtains, and let the midday sun stream in.

The flow of time in the descent is one-to-one with that in the real world. Day and night are opposite in China; it is night in the descent, while it is daytime in the real world of China.

This conveniently benefits some players who work during the day and grind in-game currency at night.

Earn two incomes in one day!
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Lin Hanchuan stretched in the sunlight, regained his senses, and his expression relaxed after his pupils adjusted to the light of the real world.

I picked up my phone from the bedside table and turned it on.

Hundreds of messages have been leaked.

Missed calls, QQ messages, and SMS messages.

Among them, QQ messages were the most numerous.

99+
Lin Hanchuan opened QQ and glanced at it.

Jiang Chen: [Night Owl, are you there? The Ninth District server has launched, and our guild is planning to establish a faction there. Do you want to join? The guild leader position is reserved for you!]

Forget-Me-Not: [Brother Xiao, someone asked me to pass on a message: could you use your short video account to help a guild with their anniversary promotion? A 15-second video, and they're willing to pay seven figures!]

Mr. Zhang: [Night Owl, do you have time? Let's go out for a meal. I have something I want to discuss with you.]

Your humble servant: [Master, did you really go to the Ninth District? Everyone online is saying you created a new account there. Could you give me a little hint?]

……

Soul Emperor: [Night Owl, couldn't you wait for me? Wait for me to come out, and I'll wipe out the Immortal Dynasty for you. Why are you in such a hurry to delete your account?! I'm already the most powerful Lonely Snow in the First Region.]

There was too much information, many of which came asking for inside information, but Lin Hanchuan didn't reply to most of them.

Some advertisements also offer very high prices.

Lin Hanchuan has no interest now.

However, Lin Hanchuan replied to the Soul Emperor, the old schemer who was ranked first on the combat power list in the first district.

Lin Hanchuan: "Immortal Dynasty, don't touch it. Wait for me to return as king in the Ninth District."

Surprisingly, the Soul Emperor is online.

He replied after I sent the message.

Soul Emperor: "Fine, the Immortal Dynasty is yours! Someone said that Huangchuan Baixiao from the Ninth District is your alt account, is that true?"

During his descent, the Soul Emperor possessed a highly mysterious intelligence network that spanned all major regions. He could investigate anything that interested him simply by asking.

Since he asked if Huangchuan Baixiao was Lin Hanchuan's alias, it was clear that he was somewhat certain about it.

Lin Hanchuan didn't hide anything: "It's me!"

Soul Emperor: "I knew you wouldn't just delete it and be done with it."

"I plan to establish a branch in the Ninth District. Are you interested in becoming the domain lord? If you agree, you can leave the rest of the funds and personnel to me!"

"I guarantee I can make you the uncrowned king of District 9 in the shortest amount of time."

Lin Hanchuan knew about the Soul Emperor's ambition.

This guy has never given up on the idea of becoming the biggest villain of the world, and he has put it into action.

He descended upon various regions, and many top players and leaders of top guilds were members of his Hellgate organization.

Back in Zone One, the Soul Emperor had invited him several times to become the deputy domain lord of Zone One, but he had refused each time.

Lin Hanchuan really had no interest in joining other people's factions or doing their work.

Although he didn't join the group, the two maintained a good relationship. Lin Hanchuan had collaborated with him several times, and the results were always pleasant. Lin Hanchuan was also one of the few players in real life who had his contact information.

"Forget it!" Lin Hanchuan still refused. "I want to cultivate my own power in the Ninth District."

Soul Emperor: "Alright! I respect your decision. Although you rejected me, I will still provide you with a free piece of information."

"Those guys who betrayed you in Zone 1 are getting restless after hearing that you might open an account in Zone 9. They plan to use the top guilds in Zone 1, like Immortal Dynasty, to send people to Zone 9 to hunt you down!"

"They even prepared a considerable sum of money to 'kill you' until you quit the game."

Hunting down Jin.

It is a special term used in the context of the descent.

Similar to bounties, but this is specifically for top-tier players or those in control of a particular faction.

The maximum amount is very high.

And this will continue until the target is driven to quit the game.

Generally speaking, no one would do this unless there's a deep-seated grudge.

Lin Hanchuan: "Thanks for the intelligence, but it's not very useful to me. Even if they don't come looking for me, I'll find some time in the next few days to announce that I have a new account in the Ninth District, and I'll also announce my ID and the city where I am in the Ninth District!"

This was entirely within Lin Hanchuan's expectations.

Just come!
Bring more, kill more.

It's a good opportunity to use them to establish authority.

Inside a luxury villa.

A middle-aged man suddenly sat up from the sofa and looked at the messages on his phone.

"This is interesting! District 9 is really going to get lively."

He muttered to himself and then sent a message.

Soul Emperor: "You're playing pretty big! With your number of fans across the entire internet, aren't you afraid that your city will be overwhelmed by players from all over the region?"

Lin Hanchuan: "That's exactly the effect I wanted!"

Soul Emperor: "Sure, if you need help, just send me a message. I owe you a favor before, and I can help you eliminate the threat completely."

Lin Hanchuan: "We'll talk about it later!"

Lin Hanchuan believed that the Soul Emperor had the ability to do it.

This time, not refusing outright was a way of leaving myself a way out for the future.

Log out of QQ.

Lin Hanchuan made a phone call.

The call was answered after only two rings.

"Hello!" A lazy voice came from the other end of the line, as if the person had just woken up.

"Old Mo!" Lin Hanchuan called out.

After obtaining the Berserker Archmage, Lin Hanchuan logged off to find Old Mo.

There are some things I need to say.
