Online game: Thunder Tyrant, I have infinite critical hits!

Beauty is a curse: After the [Prosperous Dynasty] left, several guilds on our side took over Mirage City together and moved in with some players to search for the whereabouts of [Dragon Palace].

Jiang Yan quickly asked: "Did you find it?"

"Beauty is a curse": Not yet! Also, there's something I need to tell you beforehand, which might not be fair to you.

Jiang Yan immediately guessed that it was related to the quota for the [Dragon Palace] and replied: Go ahead and say it.

Beauty is a curse: Entering the [Dragon Palace] requires sacrificing golden equipment. There are only five slots for each piece of golden equipment. The party that provides the equipment gets two slots, and the remaining three slots are allocated among us, [Red Beauty's Intoxication], [Three-Legged Golden Crow], and [White Jade Capital].

Jiang Yan understood immediately. Simply put, if others wanted to enter the Dragon Palace, he wouldn't get a chance; if he wanted to enter the Dragon Palace, he would have to provide his own gold equipment and give three of the available spots to the three major guilds!

"The big guilds are indeed domineering." Jiang Yan shook his head and sighed. They hadn't even found the [Dragon Palace] yet, and they had already allocated all the spots!

Fortunately, Jiang Yan had negotiated with them beforehand, asking for only one million gold coins and not discussing anything related to the quota; otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble might have arisen.

Wait, what about Prague Square?

Previously, it was a triumvirate consisting of [Prague Square], [Red Beauty's Drunkenness], and [Three-Legged Golden Crow], but now it has been replaced by [White Jade Capital]?

Jiang Yan, who still holds the position of elder of [Prague Square], hurriedly opened the guild chat channel and, sure enough, saw a large number of comments expressing dissatisfaction and resentment.

Jiang Yan quickly filtered through the list. As he thought, after Bai Yujing joined, Prague Square was marginalized. Naturally, they wouldn't get any of the extra spots in Dragon Palace. If they wanted to join Dragon Palace, they could only do what Jiang Yan did: provide their own gold equipment and give the three spots to the three major guilds.

"The world is bustling with activity, all for profit; the world is bustling with activity, all for profit. It has always been so!" Jiang Yan sighed as he contacted the God of War in Prague, then resigned from his position as elder and left the guild.

Jiang Yan contacted Bafanglaicai, but unfortunately he hasn't logged on since he went offline last night.

Jiang Yan then opened the game forum to check the situation of all parties after last night's battle.

Big Head Son: Congratulations to [Red Beauty Drunk], [Three-Legged Golden Crow], and [White Jade Capital] for conquering Mirage City! Since my congratulations were so timely, could you give me a spot in [Dragon Palace]?

Prehistoric Giant Stem: A piece of gold equipment worth 120,000 gold coins, and there are only five slots available. Calculate how much each slot costs, and how dare you ask for it?

Burial Love-Green: Last night's battle cost at least 200 million gold coins. Capital is really rich!

Dragon Striding Tiger's Steps: Wow, the [Prosperous Dynasty] has come to Tianhai City. Have they not given up on the [Dragon Palace] yet?

Superman Diapers: What exactly is in the Dragon Palace?!

I am the Great Detective: A large number of players from [Ragnarok], [Stardust], and [Dark Empire] have appeared in the coastal main city. Do you think there might be more than one entrance to [Dragon Palace]?

Playing the lute to a cow: Waiting for the next installment!

Fengwu has been doing this for a few days: I've also pooled my money to go to the coastal main city. If I happen to find the [Dragon Palace], I'll be thrilled!

Looking at the comments from all sides, Jiang Yan couldn't help but wonder if there really was more than one entrance to the Dragon Palace!

The altar found in [The Glorious Dynasty] is likely just one of them!

"It would be interesting if someone else found the entrance to the Dragon Palace first." Jiang Yan looked at the large number of players from [Red Beauty's Drunkenness], [Jade Palace], and [Three-Legged Golden Crow] who were renting boats to go out to sea, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Just then, Jiang Yan suddenly received an unexpected private message!

It was an accident because the person who sent the private message was none other than Shen Shang, the vice president of [Ragnarok]!

You know, last night he used a lightning bolt to instantly kill their guild leader at face-to-face!

Jiang Yan opened his private messages.

Shenshang: Jiang Taigong, our guild leader would like to add you as a friend so we can talk!

"Hyotei is looking for me?"

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow and thought for a moment. Although he had previously opposed the Ice Emperor for the sake of the Dragon Palace and even killed him, given the current situation, it was better to have more friends and more options.

Jiang Yan sent a friend request to Hyotei, and it was accepted quickly.

Hyotei cut to the chase and stated his purpose directly: "Jiang Taigong, that [Ice Sorrow] item on the equipment ranking list is yours, right? I want to buy it. I wonder if you can part with it?"

Want to buy "Ice Sorrow"?

Jiang Yan instinctively wanted to refuse, after all, his lightning staff had not yet been forged, and if he sold [Ice Sorrow], his magical attack would drop significantly!

However, if Hyotei had [Lightning Liquid], that would be a different story.

Jiang Yanxin's mind raced as he replied: I'm not short of money. If the Ice Emperor Guild Master wants to buy [Ice Sorrow], he'll have to offer something that interests me.

After a moment of silence, Hyotei sent some herbs, ores, pill recipes, and equipment with special attributes a few minutes later.

Jiang Yan glanced at the items. He particularly liked one of the golden earrings, which had paralyzing properties, and he was also very interested in the pill formula. However, it would be a bit much to try and buy his [Ice Sorrow] with just these two items.

Hyotei: Aren't you interested at all?

Jiang Yan replied: Sorry.

Hyotei: It's okay, I'll contact you again next time I find something special.

Hyotei isn't afraid of Jiang Yan making exorbitant demands; what they're afraid of is him not making any demands at all—that would be truly terrible.

Jiang Yan naturally wouldn't refuse.

After ending the chat, Jiang Yan glanced back at the sea behind him, then turned and walked towards Mirage City.

So many players are looking for the Dragon Palace, one more or one less won't make a difference. Instead of wasting time here, you might as well level up first!

Jiang Yan opened the level ranking list, and that stinky thing, the Dark Emperor, had already reached level 39, a full 5 levels higher than him!

Of course, Chaoge, who came in second, is relatively normal, only level 37, just 3 levels higher than Jiang Yan!

Taking the teleportation array from Mirage City to Zhurong City, Jiang Yan headed straight from the east of the city, passing through the Silent Rainforest and the Nu River, and arrived at the Broken Sky Mountains.

Jiang Yan did not stop at the first peak, but fought his way through to the second peak!

He looked up at the towering cliffs of the second peak and thought to himself, "It's so high, the Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle probably can't see me, right?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan hurriedly took out the Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle's egg and the [Pet Contract Scroll] from his backpack and threw twenty copies in a row. After failing every time, Jiang Yan had no choice but to put away the stubborn, dark egg.

Subsequently, he used the "Lightning Film" as a starting point to forcefully enter the insect forest!

The Insect Forest is teeming with snakes, insects, and rodents, all carrying potent venom. It severely tests a player's movement, combat awareness, and... the potions in their inventory!

Jiang Yan had previously leveled up here and fought his way through the Insect Forest. Now, re-entering, he felt right at home!

Thunderous Dragon!

Chain lightning!

Lightning Cinema!

Crack!

A flash of lightning and a thunderclap accompanied Jiang Yan's experience points, which were rapidly increasing.

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Giant Rat, a level above your own! Experience +2180]

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Flame Poison Lizard, a level above your own! Experience +2050]

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing Ghost-Faced Woman, who is above their level. Experience +2250]

……

For the next four hours, Jiang Yan immersed himself in the insect forest, and his level and skill experience steadily increased.

Just when I was 10% away from level 35, Little East Evil suddenly sent me a private message: "Hey boss, I've found the way to the third peak! Hahaha, I'm a genius! Are you there? Reply to me quickly, I'll take you to the third peak for some fun!!"
