Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

It can be forged into an ultimate imperial weapon?!

Upon hearing these words, Chu Ge's heart skipped a beat.

These top-quality forging materials were the very treasure she had been secretly searching for.

Seeing Chu Ge's moved expression, the Grand Elder shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with emotion.

"This is the first World Extraordinary Competition."

"The official offering of prizes at this level is unprecedented and unparalleled."

"Looking across the entire Eternal Star, whether they are veteran powerhouses or rising geniuses, no one can resist this temptation."

"Everyone's goal is the ultimate championship throne."

His expression turned serious, and his face became solemn.

"News from within the industry indicates that more than one peak SS-level player has already registered for the competition."

"The competition in this tournament will be more brutal than you can imagine."

After saying this, the elder fell silent.

He stood quietly in place, giving Chu Ge enough time to weigh the pros and cons himself.

Under the shade of the trees, the evening breeze gently rustled through the branches and leaves.

Fragments of memories flashed through Chu Ge's mind.

She did see the entry for the World Superb Competition while browsing the news yesterday.

At that time, she was prejudiced and just thought it was a competition between universities, so she casually scrolled through it without looking at the details.

She looked up at the Grand Elder in front of her and asked in a calm tone to confirm.

"Is there a strict requirement to participate—that a total of six people must be present?"

"That's right, it has to be a team of six."

The elder nodded vigorously and quickly explained the rules in detail.

"The competition is divided into two main sections: team competition and individual competition."

"In team competitions, five players need to start, and the remaining player serves as a substitute."

As soon as he finished speaking, fearing that Chu Ge would misunderstand, he hurriedly added a sentence.

"However, our Dimensional Association doesn't have the concept of substitutes."

"We've all been companions on this journey, as close as family."

"Everyone who joins the team has the opportunity to play and shine on the world stage."

Chu Ge nodded gently and asked the question that concerned her most.

How will the tournament rewards be distributed?

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder answered frankly.

"We've already considered this."

"It's simply impossible for everyone to have a supreme treasure like a holy weapon or a quasi-emperor weapon."

"This kind of treasure, which transcends worldly concerns, cannot be measured in money."

"If we just assign it to anyone, the other team members will feel unbalanced, and the team will fall apart completely."

He then changed the subject and presented a solution that had already been agreed upon.

"You can rest assured."

"We finalized the distribution rules with the chairman in advance."

"The final reward will go to the person who has made the most contributions and exerted the most effort in the team."

"However, all resources and benefits obtained in the name of the team during the competition belong to the team collectively."

"For example, if a team advances to the top 100, the official team will receive a guaranteed bonus of 1 billion yuan."

"After the team gained popularity, it attracted investment, GG endorsements, and commercial sponsorships. All revenue was retained, calculated after the competition, and then distributed equally among the other five members."

"Of course, if the Dimensional Association fails to make it into the top three, there will be no special reward. This rule will be abolished and the reward will be distributed equally among the six members."

He looked earnestly at Chu Ge.

"Can you accept this allocation method?"

"Okay," Chu Ge replied calmly.

Those who are rewarded according to their labor will be given the greatest treasure.

This rule is fair and transparent, perfectly matching her style of doing things.

During the brief pause in their conversation, the idea of ​​teaming up with Xu Wan had actually flashed through her mind.

The two had a deep friendship, fought side by side many times, shared similar temperaments and a strong desire to reach the pinnacle.

But in an instant, she rejected the idea.

It's precisely because they are so alike and so competitive.

On the world's top stage, they are better suited to be fierce rivals than teammates fighting side by side.

Seeing Chu Ge nod in agreement, the Grand Elder's face instantly lit up with joy.

The other three elders behind him also showed expressions of ecstasy, their eyes shining brightly.

The elder immediately turned around, looked at his companions behind him, and spoke loudly.

"Elders!"

"Our Dimensional Association has been vacant for the position of vice president."

"Today, I nominate Fellow Daoist Xiao Yan with white hair to serve as the vice president of the association."

"Does anyone have any objections?"

"No objections!"

"Fully support!"

"The vice president title is well-deserved!"

Four resounding shouts suddenly rang out.

Several people's eyes were fixed intently on Chu Ge, filled with respect and enthusiasm.

"Hello, Vice President!"

"Hello, Xiao Yan!"

"Emperor Yan is awesome!"

The shouts echoed layer upon layer, resounding throughout the entire mountain forest.

The sound was so powerful that it shook the surrounding branches and leaves, causing them to fall down.

The enthusiastic shouts made even the usually calm and composed Chu Ge feel a little uncomfortable.

She sighed inwardly.

As expected of someone from the anime/manga community.

Everyone here has a natural affinity for social interaction, and their emotional influence is off the charts.

Most importantly, despite their enthusiasm and boisterousness, I didn't feel awkward at all throughout the entire event.

The elder raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his left wrist, a hint of apology on his face.

"Vice President, our time limit for staying in the secret realm is almost up."

"There are only two minutes left before we are forcibly teleported away."

"Let's exchange contact information first. Once we're out of the secret realm and have internet access, I'll add you to the association group immediately."

"Alright." Chu Ge nodded slightly.

The two used their phones to write down each other's contact information and agreed to add each other as friends after leaving the venue.

The two minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The badges on the chests of the four members of the Dimensional Association simultaneously emitted a faint white light.

The figure gradually became transparent.

The group waved goodbye to Chu Ge.

"Goodbye, Vice President!"

"goodbye."

Chu Ge gently raised his hand in response.

The next second, the four figures completely disappeared into the dense forest.

The crowd dispersed, and the woods returned to silence.

Chu Ge glanced down at his phone.

She had only been in the arena for twenty minutes, leaving her with one hour and forty minutes of training time.

"Keep refreshing."

A glint of light flashed in Chu Ge's eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished.

She activated the power of space, traversing the entire secret realm at high speed.

Any monsters encountered along the way were crushed with heavy blows and dealt with swiftly.

Upon encountering a magical plant, regardless of its medicinal properties, one would pick and consume it all.

In a short time, she traversed most of the secret realm area.

The deeper you go, the denser the crowds become, and you can see cultivators coming to train everywhere.

There are solitary, composed divine beings.

There were also magicians who traveled in groups of two or three, covering for each other.

At least a thousand cultivators poured into the entire Wutong Mountain secret realm.

Everyone took advantage of the free time late at night to enter the arena, grind monsters, and improve their cultivation.

The group's abilities varied greatly.

The lower-level cultivators only have a C-level cultivation level, while the top experts have already reached the peak of the A-level.

Chu Ge concealed himself in the shadows, moving slowly through the area.

The sounds of conversations and discussions among the people around me kept reaching my ears.

Most of the conversation revolved around the upcoming World Superpower Tournament.

Some people are full of confidence and are certain that they can make a name for themselves on the field and become famous overnight.

Some people also chatted about the Yenching University incident that happened during the day.

When discussing Chu Ge and Xu Wan's heroic act of publicly killing scions of powerful families.

Many people were disdainful and made arrogant remarks.

He boasted that if they happened to meet, he would capture the two men and send them to the Sima family in exchange for a huge reward.

Chu Ge ignored him, his expression remaining completely unchanged.

During her journey, she passed by Amber several times.

The opponent rampaged through the secret realm, acting ruthlessly and decisively.

He crushed all kinds of monsters along the way, his cultivation steadily improved, and his aura became increasingly fierce.

This high-profile and domineering hunting method instantly attracted the attention of many trainees.

In a clearing in the woods, a Divine Order cultivator stared intently at a dark figure flashing by in the distance.

A deep greed surged in his eyes.

That was a tiger demon with extremely strong bloodline.

If we can hunt it down, we can refine the crystal core within its body.

His cultivation level is definitely capable of achieving a leapfrog breakthrough.

The man gripped the large knife tightly in his palm, his mind agitated.

But he quickly calmed down and secretly weighed the difference in strength between the two sides.

He himself only has the initial stage of A-level cultivation.

There is absolutely no chance of winning against a late-stage S-rank tiger demon.

In the end, all they could do was watch their prey disappear into the distance, filled with regret.

Just as he lowered his head in regret.

The ground beneath my feet suddenly trembled violently.

A massive, dark golden figure, accompanied by a gust of wind, darted in front of him like lightning.

A deafening roar of a tiger exploded out, echoing in all directions.

Amber raised her palm to gather strength, and her sharp tiger claws, carrying the force of tearing through the air, struck straight at the man's head.

A deadly crisis instantly enveloped him.

The secret realm badge on the man's chest automatically triggered a protection mechanism.

The badge shattered instantly, and a white light enveloped his body, teleporting him away from the secret realm.

Having missed its target, Amber withdrew her power and sneered coldly.

"You're lucky you ran fast."

"How dare you, a mere ant, covet the body of your Tiger Emperor?"

"I'd better not run into you a second time in the secret realm."

"Slaughter them every time you see them."

After uttering a harsh remark, Amber flicked its long tail and leaped once more into the depths of the dense forest to continue its hunting and training.

On the other side, Chu Ge had already entered the most core forbidden area of ​​the secret realm.

The entire area was filled with miasma and exuded a heavy, oppressive aura.

She finally encountered the first peak SS-level monster of this journey.

It was a black snake that was a hundred feet long.

Its entire body is covered with jet-black, hard scales, each scale gleaming with a cold, metallic luster.

With a casual sweep of its thick tail, the earth could be cracked, its power terrifying beyond measure.

Faced with such a top-tier ferocious beast, Chu Ge did not activate a single bit of magic power.

She planned to rely on her physical strength to confront them head-on.

"I'd like to see whether your scales are harder or my fists are harder."

Chu Ge leaped into the air and landed steadily on top of the giant snake's head.

His right arm was tense and strained, and his fist, carrying immense force, slammed down on the top of the black snake's head.

boom!

A dull, loud bang exploded.

The incredibly hard snake head exploded instantly.

Blood, flesh, and brain matter splattered everywhere, covering Chu Ge's entire body.

Her gaze locked onto the crystal core that was soaring into the air. She raised her hand and caught it steadily, then put it directly into her mouth to refine it.

The black snake, having lost its head, was instantly extinguished.

Its enormous body crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Chu Ge was nowhere to be found.

She continued her training deep within the secret realm without stopping.

The two-hour entry time limit was quickly exhausted.

The badges on Chu Ge and Amber's chests shattered simultaneously.

The two figures were teleported simultaneously and reappeared on the top of Wutong Mountain.

The amber still retains the shape of a tiger.

Its magnificent dark gold fur, stained with mottled monster blood, made it look extremely fierce.

Chu Ge initially thought it was just dirt from hunting monsters.

After examining her closely for a moment, her gaze suddenly froze.

A long wound appeared on the fur on Amber's back.

The wound, more than a meter long, had its skin and flesh turned outwards, and was covered in blood.

The cut was clean and sharp, clearly indicating an injury caused by a sharp weapon such as a knife or sword.

A hint of surprise appeared in Chu Ge's eyes.

She immediately activated the power of time to cover the amber's wounds and heal them.

My heart was filled with doubt.

With the formidable combat power of Amber's late-stage S-rank.

Within its class, almost no opponent can harm it in the slightest.

The number of SS-level monsters deep in the secret realm is small, and they move in secrecy.

In just two hours, she searched the entire area and only found three high-level demonic beasts.

One peak SS-class giant serpent, and two mid-SS-class ferocious beasts.

The other high-level demonic beasts are all hiding and will not show themselves to cause trouble.

"Who hurt you?" Chu Ge asked.

"Did we encounter a demonic beast, or a human cultivator?"

Amber lay obediently on the ground, feeling the gentle, healing power around her.

A deep warmth welled up in my heart.

Having followed Chu Ge for so long, this was the first time it had experienced the feeling of being carefully protected by its master.

It let out a low whimper and honestly replied.

"Yes, Master, it's a human."

"I just discovered a rare magical plant in the secret realm and bumped into a Divine Order cultivator."

"The opponent's cultivation level is equal to mine, both are in the late stage of S-rank."

"I originally thought I could easily crush him."

"I didn't expect him to be such a formidable fighter. The long sword in his hand was sharp and menacing. We fought to a standstill."

Amber's tone carried a hint of resentment and helplessness.

In the end, neither of us could defeat the other, so we each took a step back.

"Cut the magic plant fruit in half and each of you take one half."

"But don't worry, Master."

"He slashed at me with his sword, and I smashed one of his arms in return."

"Nobody benefited."

Nourished by the power of time, the hideous wounds on Amber's back healed rapidly.

In a short time, the skin and flesh were completely healed, and no trace of the injury could be seen.

Even after his injuries had healed, Chu Ge still did not give up.

"Do you need me to help you get revenge?"

She has always adhered to the principle of settling each other's scores individually.

But Amber was a monster that Nicholas entrusted to himself.

She was grateful for her kindness. Now that they were under her command, she would not allow her own demon beasts to suffer any injustice.

Amber immediately shook her enormous tiger head, her attitude resolute.

"Need not."

"I can settle my own scores."

"No need to trouble the master."

After saying that, it lowered its head and opened its mouth.

A bright red, round fruit rolled out of its mouth and gently fell to the ground.

The fruit's surface is crystal clear, surrounded by a rich and pure magical aura.

Chu Ge paid no attention to the gastric juice on the fruit and bent down to pick it up.

Looking at the familiar appearance, a hint of hesitation appeared in her eyes.

"This thing... I think I vaguely remember it."

"The effect seems to be... related to that aspect."

She took out her phone, went online to search the plant encyclopedia, and quickly found the corresponding information.

A few seconds later, a detailed science entry popped up on the page.

[Plant Name: Tall Apple]

[Efficacy: Contains pure magical power, which can slightly increase cultivation level. The core effect is height increase without side effects; the increase varies from person to person, with an average increase of one centimeter.]

[Rarity Level: Extremely Rare. Each magical plant produces only two fruits in its lifetime, making it extremely difficult to find on the market.]

After reviewing the information, Chu Ge instantly understood.

She turned and told Amber about the fruit's effects without missing a single word.

After hearing everything, Amber froze on the spot.

After struggling for so long, what it snatched was actually a fruit meant to help it grow taller?

For the massive and powerful demon tiger.

A mere one-centimeter increase in height is utterly useless.

Amber was speechless and muttered under her breath.

"No wonder that person kept advising me not to steal it."

"What are you saying? I'm already this big, there's no need for me to grow any taller, it would be a complete waste."

"What did you reply back then?" Chu Ge couldn't help but ask.

"I'll just say it directly: I'm willing, it's none of your business."

Amber flicked its tail, feeling increasingly aggrieved.

"...It seems like he stabbed me right after he said that."

Chu Ge remained silent for a moment, then pressed for an answer out of curiosity.

"His insistence on grabbing this fruit must be a disadvantage due to his height, right?"

"Yes, about the same height as you, Master," Amber replied truthfully.

Chu Ge: "..."

What do you mean by "about the same height as me"?

She is 1.62 meters tall.

While this height doesn't qualify her as a tall, mature woman, it's not exactly what you'd call a short, cute girl either.

She's the perfect height for a young girl; where is she short?

She secretly grumbled to herself.

In his previous life, his 1.8-meter frame made him far less powerful than he is now.

Height has never been a standard for measuring ability.

Even if she were only as tall as a school desk in this life, she would be confident in attaining the Dao and becoming an emperor, ruling over all ages.

Her thoughts drifted, and she suddenly thought of Lin Xueli.

The other party had previously studied various pharmaceuticals.

This includes special agents that can alter one's height.

However, she had never tried it and was unaware of the specific effects.

With today's advanced technology, height-increasing drugs are already in mass production on the market.

However, the technology for this type of drug is not mature and has obvious shortcomings.

Although it can increase height after taking it, the side effects are severe.

Men who take it will experience erectile dysfunction, while women who take it will gain weight.

In addition, the price is extremely high, making it very poor value for money.

Over time, almost no one was willing to spend money to try it.

"go back."

Chu Ge pulled himself together and gestured for Amber to follow.

The man and the beast did not linger, turned around and left the top of Wutong Mountain, returning home.

Today's adventure in the secret realm was very fruitful.

With numerous crystal cores and rare magical implants, his cultivation level has become considerably higher.

She needs to meditate to stabilize her state of mind and hone her cultivation foundation.

The apple that had grown taller was clearly not of use to Amber, so it was given directly to Chu Ge.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, she always felt that the other person thought she was too short after that incident.

Chu Ge casually put the fruit into the refrigerator for storage, then picked up his phone to check messages.

At the top of the screen, a friend request stands out prominently.

The applicant is the Grand Elder of the Dimensional Association.

Chu Ge clicked "accept friend request".

The other party replied instantly with a friendly emoji, and then sent a group chat invitation.

The group chat name is simple and straightforward: [Dimensional Association].

Chu Ge opened the group member list.

Including her, the newly appointed vice president, there are a total of seven people in the group.

She had a slight doubt in her heart.

The Dimensional Association originally had only five members, and with her, there were exactly six.

How come there's an extra person?

She carefully looked through the members' profile pictures and nicknames.

All five founding members have anime/manga avatars.

The nicknames are, in order: President, First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder.

The last person's profile picture is a simple line drawing of a family of four.

Nickname/Note: Yao Yao's Mom.

Chu Ge had a rough idea of ​​the reason, but still sent a message to the Grand Elder to confirm.

The Grand Elder quickly replied with an explanation.

【Yao Yao is our guild leader's nickname.】

The president is too young, and her mother is worried about us forming a team and going out for training on our own.

[I specifically requested to join the group to keep an eye on things, in case a bunch of us young people mess around and do something illegal or criminal.]

[But don't worry, Vice President, the auntie is very gentle, rarely speaks, and is very easy to get along with.]

【understood. 】

Chu Ge replied with a calm three-word response.

The Dimensional Association group chat has completely exploded at this moment.

Several elders took turns posting messages, all unanimously welcoming the newly appointed vice president to the group.

Even Yao Yao's mother sent a welcome message, her attitude gentle and polite.

Chu Ge gave a few polite replies, then put away his phone and went to the balcony.

The evening breeze was cool, and the night was quiet.

She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began her evening meditation.

After a night of peaceful cultivation, his foundation became even more solid and stable.

The next morning.

Chu Ge awoke from his meditation.

I had just opened my eyes when my phone rang suddenly beside my pillow.

Caller ID: Xu Wan.

She raised her hand to answer the phone, got up and walked towards the bathroom, her tone languid as if she had just woken up.

"What's wrong?"

"Old Chu! Quick, look at the news I just sent you! It's big!"

Xu Wan spoke very quickly, her tone full of shock.

He hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

Chu Ge's doubts deepened.

She opened her WeChat chat and clicked on the news link that Xu Wan had just forwarded.

The title is eye-catching and jarring.

Breaking News! At 1:00 AM, the East Sea Magic Association was robbed...

Upon seeing the title, Chu Ge was completely taken aback.

The Magic Association has tight security and extremely strong defenses.

It's highly unusual that such a major theft could occur.

She clicked into the news article, where the content was recorded in exceptional detail.

It even came with complete surveillance footage.

The incident occurred at 1:12 AM.

The surveillance footage focused on the exhibition hall on the first floor of the Magic Association.

Chu Ge was extremely familiar with this place.

Years ago, the school organized a study tour, and they came here specifically to visit and learn.

She clearly remembers that the first exhibit in the exhibition hall was a complete dinosaur skeleton.

At the time, Xu Wan pretended to be profound, saying that she could understand the ancient script of the dinosaur people.

Chu Ge was almost intimidated.

She finally discovered that the exhibits had accompanying text annotations on the back.

It was purely Xu Wan putting on an act.

The entire exhibition hall displays countless ancient artifacts, with a wide variety of categories and numerous rare treasures.

When Chu Ge visited the exhibition years ago, many of the exhibits stirred his heart.

Could the stolen items last night be antiques from the exhibition hall?

Moreover, the incident occurred shortly after they parted ways with the four guardians the previous night.

Chu Ge stared intently at the surveillance footage, observing quietly.

In the empty, deathly silent exhibition hall, the air suddenly twisted and vibrated.

A narrow, black slit was torn open in the void.

A slender figure slowly stepped out from the crack.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore an icy blue dress that exuded a cool and aloof aura.

is her!

Chu Ge recognized the person's identity at a glance.

It was the ice coffin girl who vanished into thin air last night, right in front of the Magic Association's protector and the three of them.

The moment the woman appeared, the alarms inside the exhibition hall went off in a deafening roar.

The piercing alarm echoed throughout the building.

The girl ignored everything and walked straight to the booth at the very back of the exhibition hall.

With a clear goal, there was no hesitation or wavering.

With a flick of the wrist, the protective barrier of the exhibition booth shattered.

She took the exhibit, turned around and returned the way she came, stepping into the spatial rift and disappearing without a trace.

The Magic Association's security personnel and stationed experts arrived after hearing the news.

The exhibition hall was completely empty, and there was no trace of the thief.

This concludes the surveillance video.

After watching the whole process, Xu Wan called again.

"Have you watched the video? What's your take on this?"

Chu Ge lightly tapped the washbasin in front of her with her fingertips, her thoughts rapidly connecting all the clues from the past.

After a moment, she slowly spoke.

"When we visited the exhibition hall during our study tour, there was a problem with the time mirror there."

"Everyone in the school has tried, and no one has been able to see the future through the mirror."

"We all assumed that the mirror was already damaged and malfunctioning. Including the Magic Association."

"Only Li Muzi."

"That night on the rooftop, she said herself that she saw a glimpse of the future through the time mirror."

"Foreseeing the invasion of powerful beings from beyond the realm, and the annihilation of all living beings in this world."

"At the time, we were only focused on her doomsday prophecy."

"No one has ever investigated why she alone was able to activate the malfunctioning Time Mirror."

Chu Ge's tone softened as he revealed his speculation.

"Looking back now."

"This girl in the ice coffin is most likely the original owner of the Time Mirror."

"Her appearance is exactly the same as Li Muzi's; it is no coincidence."

"Li Muzi's ability to activate the sacred artifact and glimpse the future is most likely due to a special causal bond between the two of them."

"I'm thinking the same thing as you."

Xu Wan on the other end of the phone agreed and then revealed another secret.

"And there's something even stranger."

"The loss of an ancient artifact by the Magic Association is an extremely serious matter."

"But the authorities simply released the surveillance footage and made the case public."

"There was no investigation or accountability action taken throughout the entire process."

"It's obvious that the association's higher-ups are unwilling to provoke a peak SS-rank for a broken Time Mirror."

She changed the subject.

"By the way, Li Muzi just replied to my message."

"As we expected, she knew nothing about it."

During a break in their conversation, Chu Ge's WeChat group popped up with a notification to all members.

It's a group message from the Dimensional Association.

Grand Elder: [I've booked a table at Songhelou Restaurant for lunch, a group meal for everyone! Welcome the Vice President to the team! We'll reschedule for those who don't have time! @All Members]

Second Elder: [Emperor Yan has joined the assembly! I must be there!]

Third Elder: [Hehehe! This old man is already starving and thirsty!]

Fourth Elder: [Woof! I want to eat their signature prawns!]

Yao Yao's Mom: [Yao Yao was doing her homework, and I signed her up for the activity. Everyone had fun.]

Chu Ge casually replied, "Received."

He then asked Xu Wan on the other end of the phone.

Do you know about the World Superhuman Competition?

"Of course I know, I was just about to tell you about it."

Xu Wan chuckled softly, her tone tinged with amusement.

"What, you want to team up with me?"

"No, I've already formed a team," Chu Ge said frankly, briefly explaining how he formed an alliance with the Dimensional Association last night.

Xu Wan's smile deepened after hearing this.

"Old Chu, you understand me too well."

Even if you invite me, I won't agree.

"From beginning to end, we have been rivals."

She then released the news.

"Perfect timing, I've successfully formed a team too."

"A team of six is ​​just the full strength."

"Who are they?" Chu Ge asked with slight curiosity.

"Li Muzi, Tang Xiaoran, Chen Xun, Little Fatty, Ye Lingling, and me."

Xu Wan frankly informed the team members.

This team was a fixed lineup that Li Muzi and her friends had agreed upon in advance.

The last spot was originally reserved for Wang Qiang.

The other party declined, having already joined another team.

The spot remained vacant until Xu Wan and Chu Ge showed up at Yanda University.

Li Muzi didn't have Chu Ge's contact information, so she only contacted Xu Wan.

Upon learning that Chu Ge had already formed a team, Xu Wan immediately nodded and officially joined the team.

The two chatted for a few more minutes about the details of the event before hanging up.

It was almost noon.

Chu Ge set off for Songhelou.
