Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

"Current level objective completed, safe zone now open..."

The mission completion notification sounded, and Chu Yang was about to have Wan Tong stop "Eternal Night Reincarnation" when a voice suddenly came from the shadows of a house behind him:

"A while ago, a friend from the academy mentioned how strong your gatekeepers are. I didn't believe it then, but now I do..."

The person who emerged from the shadows was Liu Xiaoxiao.

She is the only one in Black Chai Village who broke free from the dream of reincarnation through her own will, among all those trapped in the dream.

Chu Yang glanced at Liu Xiaoxiao, his expression unchanged.

No matter where you are, there are always some special people, but Chu Yang didn't care about that.

"Wan Tong, release the 'Eternal Night Reincarnation'."

Tens of thousands of crows circling in the sky disappeared one after another, and the people in Black Chai Village gradually awoke from their dreams.

However, they had no memory of anything from their previous dream.

Then, Chu Yang smiled at Liu Xiaoxiao and said, "My mission is complete, I'm leaving now."

"Wait a minute," Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Can your door-opening personnel accept mission assignments independently?"

Chu Yang, who was originally planning to teleport directly to the vicinity of the safe zone, stopped.

He sensed an extraordinary adventure.

Chu Yang turned to Liu Xiaoxiao and asked, "What kind of request?"

Liu smiled and said, "A few years ago, a new secret realm appeared on the border between humans and ghosts. This secret realm should be stabilized soon."

"Once the secret realm is completely stabilized, our Yunshan Liu Clan and Wangchuan Nan Clan will join forces with the military on the border to gather experts and enter the secret realm."

"At that time, the awakened members of the Ghost Clan will definitely appear and compete with us for control of the secret realm."

"Because there is a limit to the number of people allowed to enter the secret realm, we originally did not plan to ask you to be the gatekeepers, but... your strength is strong enough. If you join us, our chances of seizing the secret realm should be much greater."

Chu Yang nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I'll take this commission."

Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaoxiao smiled for the first time.

The smile was faint and disappeared quickly.

"Let's exchange contact numbers, and I'll get in touch with you later."

Chu Yang did not refuse. He took out the contact list that Yu Lu had given him from the system backpack and added Liu Xiaoxiao as a friend.

He also glanced through the message history.

There is no information about rain, dew, or grass.

Are they still in the Underworld?

Chu Yang was originally waiting for Liu Xiaoxiao to give him some kind of adventure item, but just as they successfully added each other as friends...

He discovered a new entry in his contacts: Adventure Items.

At the same time, a system message sounded: "Please keep your contacts safe, as they have temporarily become the tool for triggering the adventure portal."

Is this even possible?

Liu Xiaoxiao put away the communicator and asked, "By the way, when I saw you at the village entrance today, I noticed that my abilities in various aspects seemed to have improved. Is that also one of your abilities?"

They've probably been influenced by this city too...

Chu Yang is now essentially the embodiment of a city, and all human beings within 100 kilometers of him will enjoy a 20% boost to all their attributes.

This "human" includes other gatekeepers, as well as the original human inhabitants.

Chu Yang nodded and said, "Mm."

Liu Xiaoxiao smiled for the second time, and this time the smile lingered on her face for a while longer.

"It seems that inviting you to join this event was definitely the right decision!"

"Well, see you then. I should be leaving now."

See you then...

Chu Yang turned around and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Liu Xiaoxiao looked at the spot where Chu Yang had disappeared, then turned on her communicator and dialed an account named Mu Yuanying.

The communicator connection was successful, and a screen popped up from the top of the communicator.

A woman with messy hair but a very pretty face appeared on the screen.

If Chu Yang were here, he would definitely recognize this woman.

This woman had left a deep impression on Chu Yang when he was at the first-tier gate realm.

She was the crazy woman Chu Yang encountered at the Beast God Mountain checkpoint, who almost forced the Beast God to unleash his full power.

"Xiaoxiao! Do you want to fight me? If so, I'll come find you in Yunshan!"

Liu Xiaoxiao's face twitched, and she quickly said, "No, I can't beat you. Yuan Ying, I remember you told me before about a door-pushing person surnamed Chu who killed a beast god single-handedly when he was at the first level. Was his name Chu Yang?"

Mu Wanqing tugged at her hair, pretending to think hard: "Chu... Yang? I think so? I don't remember very clearly, it was decades ago. I only remember that his surname was Chu, what's wrong?"

"Did you see him?!"

Liu Xiaoxiao found Chu Yang's account in her contacts, clicked on Chu Yang's profile picture (which was automatically saved in the contacts), and sent it to Mu Yuanying: "Take a look, is this the person?"

Mu Yuanying opened the picture Liu Xiaoxiao sent and exclaimed excitedly, "It's him! It's him! Where is he? Help me keep him here, I'll be there in three days... no, in two days!"

"I want to fight him!"

Liu Xiaoxiao sighed, looking speechless, and said, "Um... Yuan Ying, don't come anymore. He's already left, but he should reappear when the secret realm at the border of humans and ghosts opens."

"Too easy to mess with..."

"Don't get too excited yet. I contacted you because I was worried that if you saw him, you would start a fight with him."

"You must promise me that you won't fight him until our human race has complete control over this secret realm! Otherwise, I won't let the teacher give you your spot to enter the secret realm this time!"

"Huh?! Xiaoxiao, you're so cruel... Then after we take control of the secret realm, can I challenge him to a fight?"

"That won't work either... unless he agrees."

"He'll definitely agree, fighting is so much fun!"

"..."

As Wan Tong released the "Eternal Night Reincarnation," the other five door openers also awoke from the illusion.

At the same time, they all heard the notification sound indicating that the mission was completed.

The three white men who followed Liu Qing through the door glanced at the time on the system panel and discovered that less than half an hour had passed!

"What's going on? How did the mission get completed?!"

"I don't know, only half an hour has passed and someone has already driven all the demons away from the village?"

"Could it have been those three people who pushed the door open over there?"

"How is this possible! This is only the second level, how could the person pushing the door be this strong?"

The blonde, blue-eyed woman suddenly exclaimed, "Wait! That doesn't seem impossible! Don't you think this Asian man who entered the gate with us looks familiar?"

"Huh? Don't all people of Asian descent look like this?"

"No, don't you guys think he looks a lot like that Chu Yang?!"

"Are you talking about that Chinese guy who won first place in the [Clan Tournament Arena] and single-handedly helped our human race take first place?"

"Hmm~ Now that you mention it, it does sound a lot like him! If it is him, perhaps... it really is possible!"

"Oh my god! We've met a master!"
