Chapter 71 New Orario?

"I'm sorry, Ms. Tibo, we were ultimately unable to succeed."

Tianxing's tone became somewhat somber, but as the image of Mimi flashed through his mind, his confidence quickly returned.

"However, it's not completely over yet. Perhaps—we still have a chance."

He raised his head, his words once again filled with hope.

"Now, together with Lady Black Tower, I have embarked on a new journey, beginning a new adventure in pursuit of fire."

"She would be so happy to know you're back."

Tibo listened quietly, her expression gradually softening.

She gathered her thoughts, and a cheerful smile, tinged with nostalgia, appeared on her face.

The next moment, she stepped forward and gently embraced Tianxing.

"Thank you for your hard work, child of the earth."

She reached out and gently stroked Tianxing's head, saying tenderly, "From now on, there will be no more partings. We will travel together again."

"Just like we promised at the beginning, let's walk together to the end of the west wind where flowers bloom."

The moment he was held in someone's arms, Tianxing felt his long-tense nerves finally relax.

That long-lost sense of security made him feel somewhat dazed for a moment.

Amidst this warmth, a somewhat outrageous thought suddenly popped into his mind: "Teacher Tibao, no wonder she's the woman who can become my mother!"

He silently savored this moment of tenderness until Tibo gently released her embrace.

Nanami, standing to the side, narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression, as if she had gained a deeper understanding of some of Tengyo's preferences.

As for Aina—

She had already quietly retreated to a distance, and even whistled as if nothing had happened, acting as if she "hadn't seen anything".

Tibo, filled with curiosity, slowly walked to the sacred tree.

For some reason, she felt a natural affinity for the tree.

She reached out and gently touched the tree trunk, closing her eyes to feel it for a moment.

-

"Because of this sacred tree—"

She spoke slowly, her tone tinged with surprise.

"I seem to have formed some kind of very deep connection with this world."

She turned to Tianxing and asked with a hint of apology, "Will this—affect your upcoming plans?"

Tianxing shook his head.

"No problem. I am inherently connected to this world; we have a cooperative relationship."

"Next, let's discuss our future development plans."

The meeting room of the Prometheus Familia was somewhat messy at the moment.

The table was scattered with documents and snack wrappers, while in one corner, a newly minted "internet addict" named Dix sat side by side with Ikeros, each holding an old-fashioned PSP, engrossed in an online game.

The two are playing a game called "Monster Hunter 2G".

At this moment, they are fully focused on tackling a quest called "The Approaching Darkness".

Originally, this was just a very simple gathering task—it only required collecting three Bobo Beast tongues to complete easily.

However, the situation on the screen was completely different.

Instead of the docile herbivores that should have appeared, a ferocious, yellowish-brown reptile with a massive head was present.

The Tigrex, known as the "King of Tigrex"!

"Ikeros, hurry! Hurry! It's catching up!" Dix shouted to the god beside him as he frantically tried to escape, "Quickly, place a paralysis trap!"

"Don't worry, don't be afraid! I've already started making arrangements."

Dicks frowned in displeasure.

"What a joke, you think I'm afraid of it? I'm super brave!" he retorted stubbornly. "Watch me go up there and beat it to a pulp!"

""

Before he finished speaking, after the Tigrex charged twice in a frenzy, Dix decisively controlled the hunter to rush forward—

With a swift draw of his katana, he unleashed a powerful step-and-slash downwards!

However, in the next instant, the thunder dragon suddenly turned around in a strange manner, as if it had already locked onto its target and was preparing to counterattack.

"Watch closely! I'll deliver one more slash, followed by a perfect roll!"

But at that moment, he overlooked a fatal thing.

That means the sharpness of the katana has decreased.

As the hunter's knife struck again, a crisp "clang" rang out—the knife had been deflected!

The attack was forcefully deflected, and the hunter's movements were momentarily frozen.

In that instant, the enormous figure of the Thunder Dragon rapidly approached the screen, almost filling the entire field of vision.

No time to dodge—

The hunter was sent flying and crashed to the ground.

The screen went dark, and the cold words "Mission Failed" appeared.

The light in Dix's eyes vanished instantly. After a moment of silence, his face flushed red, and he roared furiously, "What kind of shit monster is this?!"

Ikeros, standing nearby, laughed mercilessly: "Hahaha, what a noob, Dix! You've died three times in a row!"

Tianxing glanced at the chaotic scene to one side, then turned his gaze to the other side—

Hephaestus and Njord were exchanging pleasantries, Loki and Riveria had arrived unnoticed, and the Black Tower doll stood quietly in the corner.

He clapped his hands lightly, the crisp sound echoing in the room, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

He then said, "I didn't expect so many people to gather for this meeting. But it's also good that I've had some new ideas about the development of Mellen Town recently."

After he finished speaking, the Black Tower puppet standing behind him immediately began to distribute the information in its hands to everyone.

Everyone lowered their heads and turned to the first page.

On the paper, the words "A New Orali Project" are prominently displayed!

The expressions on everyone's faces changed almost simultaneously.

Njord couldn't help but give a wry smile, saying with a slightly troubled tone, "While we have indeed developed some hunting grounds at Lake Lolog—isn't it a bit of an exaggeration to say they can replace Orario?"

Loki was also taken aback by this sudden grand plan. He scratched his head and added, "You know the current situation. Although the planning for the advanced hunting grounds has been completed, it is limited by the strength of the monsters and can only support adventurers of around level 3 at most."

"Compared to Orario's dungeons, the difference is significant!"

Despite the doubts raised by the crowd, Tianxing remained calm, as if he had been prepared all along.

He calmly turned around, pushed the boy beside him in front of everyone, and introduced him in a composed tone: "This is Dix, a descendant of the famous craftsman Daedalus."

"For thousands of years, their race has dedicated themselves to the construction and perfection of the man-made labyrinth 'Knossos.'"

Changing the subject, he suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question: "Dix, was the game you just played fun?"

,

Dix paused for a moment, then scratched his head and honestly replied, "Although there are quite a few dung monsters—they're surprisingly quite interesting, Lord Prometheus."

"So, how does it compare to Knossos?"

This question startled Dix slightly. He remained silent for a moment, and after careful consideration, he slowly said, "Knossos, designed by our ancestors, was based on a dungeon—both the terrain and the traps are full of malice against adventurers."

"But the mechanics in Monster Hunter are different."

"It feels more like dancing with a monster—the gap between the two sides isn't widened indefinitely, which makes it easier to feel the realism of an adventure."

"However, comparing the two is really meaningless."

"after all--

—

"One is just for entertainment, while the other is a dungeon that can truly affect the grace system."

However, just as everyone was still processing this information, Tianxing suddenly reached out his hand.

The next instant, a uniquely shaped helmet slowly appeared from the void and was placed steadily on the table.

He looked at everyone and said meaningfully, "If I say one..."

"Can playing games in the virtual world also trigger effects similar to a favor system?"

The entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.
