"Why am I only fourth?"

No matter what the mastermind behind this list wants to do, or whether he has bad intentions.

But putting him in the inconspicuous fourth position - it won't attract enough firepower!

"I will remember this grudge!" Li Re said seriously.

"..."

Yin Bai and Lu Baixi were stunned for a while, then they looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

Yes.

That's what 'Ghosts Come to the Shop' is supposed to be like.

And there's nothing to worry about.

As long as Li Re is here, no matter how big the storm is, we can get through it safely!

Jingle Bell.

Just at this moment, the cell phone in Li Re's pocket rang clearly and crisply. He took it out and took a look. As expected, he saw the name "Qu Shenyin" written on the caller information.

This general manager likes to call and harass me whenever there is something.

This was the case with the previous Paradise Academy incident.

Now something so big is happening – and so is this.

But before answering the call, he glanced at the ranking list in front of him and read the information on it——

First place, 'Stand User' Conson Smith, a mysterious main professional player, has been certified in Paradise Silver for two months and twenty-eight days. He once used his Stand ability to replace his own weight with the weight of half of the United States to suppress the Titan body of 'Conqueror'.

Second place, 'Military God' Zhang Guzhi, a martial arts main professional player, has been certified in Paradise Silver for two months and twenty-five days. He holds the Great Xia Dragon Bird in his hand, is known as a martial arts saint, sits in the northwest of Great Xia, and can strike across 30,000 miles with a single sword. He once teamed up with the Ruler to force back the silver-level player 'Holy Lord', and repeatedly repelled the Indian silver player 'Indra' who invaded the Great Xia border.

Third place, 'Conqueror' Alexander Modros, a Mythology main professional player, has achieved Silver status three months and one day ago. He possesses the body of a Lava Titan and some fragments of the B-rank World-destroying Item, the Flame Sword. A full-strength attack can burn the surface of the earth with lava and cover the continent with volcanic ash, bringing about a devastating disaster.

Fourth place, 'Spirit King' Li Re, a psychic main professional player, has been certified by Paradise Silver for sixteen days, controls 180,000 evil spirits in the ghost town, possesses the power of a magic image with a force of several thousand meters that is not weaker than that of a Titan, and also controls the power of sealing and a powerful immortal body. He once fought against three silver-level player clones alone, and withstood the attack of the Conqueror's clone's flaming sword fragments.

Fifth, 'Ruler' Qu Shenyin, a super-powered main professional player, has been certified silver for two months and seventeen days. He is an all-rounder and proficient in all arts. He has directly suppressed the silver-level player 'Holy Lord' and suppressed the invasion of reality by C-level copies many times.

Sixth place, 'Indra' Sharma, a mythology main professional player, achieved silver in two months and three days, and controls the mythical power of sky and thunder.

Seventh, 'Angel of Death' Olga Ekaterina, a main professional player of the mysterious type.

Eighth place, 'Guardian' Vilia Pendra, a control-type main professional player.

Ninth place, 'Immortal' Cain, a mysterious professional player.

Tenth place, 'Shogun' Minamoto Musashi.

...

Fifteenth place, 'Sword Immortal' Cheng Shiyu, a mythical player, newly promoted to silver, received Paradise Silver certification for one day.

——A list ranked by strength, and also includes the specific time and past performance of becoming a silver player.

This list is obviously different from the previous ones.

Moreover, he just happened to be "suppressing" Qu Shenyin.

I don’t know if she called me because of this list... or because I surpassed her?

According to Qu Shenyin's personality.

I guess it's both?

Chapter 437: It doesn’t matter, I will take action!

Although he did not wait for the real world and the remains of ancient players to appear, waiting for this list was a nice surprise for Li Re - even though his current position was not too high, the other players who were "pressed" below him would inevitably feel unhappy.

After all, strictly speaking, I have only been a silver-level player for a little over half a month.

Compared to the first batch of silver-level players in the real world, the group that had completed the promotion trial two months ago, they were obviously much more "shallow"!

Qu Shenyin is one of them.

Li Re, holding the phone, pressed the answer button, and the Guilai store became quieter. Seeing Li Re start to answer the phone, they knew that the person on the other end of the phone was Qu Shenyin, one of the strongest official players in the imperial capital, and the powerful director of the General Affairs Bureau. Naturally, they would not disturb Li Re to discuss "business". Li Re would never hide the fact that he was talking to Qu Shenyin on the phone.

However, the face of the 'witch' Yin Bai became a little solemn. She listened carefully to the conversation between Li Re and Qu Shenyin, hoping to hear some clues about this suddenly appeared list.

Lu Baixi pushed up his glasses and said nothing. In his mind, another 'self', 'Lu Baixi', muttered "That old, ugly woman with fat legs is here again", but he didn't force himself to come out.

Antis tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist—he did not have much respect for his former boss.

As for the 'Little Sword Fairy' Cheng Shiyu...

She looked at her last name on the list on the computer screen, then looked up and found Qu Shenyin's name - then she clapped her hands suddenly as if she thought of something, and her long hair moved up and down!

No wonder she always felt like she had forgotten something during this period of time.

She forgot...

"This Sword Immortal is going to remove Qu Shenyin from the position of General Manager!"

It must be because she has been "practicing" with Li Re too frequently recently, she has forgotten the original purpose of joining the cleaning department.

Now that she has become a silver player, she is indeed qualified to challenge Qu Shenyin!

So Shiyu's eyes suddenly became burning as she looked at Li Re who was dialing the phone... Li Re looked around at everyone and found that the little sword fairy was still so naive, so he felt relieved.

"It sounds like your side is still very lively."

On the other end of the call, Qu Shenyin's clear and pleasant voice rang out.

"Your side is different than usual—" Li Re's ears moved slightly: "The wind is so strong... are you in heaven?"

"Yes, thousands of miles up in the sky!"

The voice of "Ruler" Qu Shenyin was indeed caught in the wind. At this moment, she was not in the office, but high in the sky.

She spoke while flying in the deserted sky, her long black hair scattered freely in the oncoming wind and blended with the red cloak she was wearing. Her tight figure wrapped in the uniform was also rippling like waves in the wind, and her legs at the extension of her hot pants were swaying gently, plump, tight and very toned.

She said:

"There's a little problem in the north. I'm going to go over there now to take a look."

"piece of cake?"

Li Re subconsciously asked, "What kind of small problem could make the ruler personally dispatch?"

"Nothing - just a D++-level copy that invaded reality. Although it has been controlled, it cannot be completely dealt with."

Qu Shenyin said lightly: "I went there mainly because I was relatively close, and it would be best to deal with it thoroughly without leaving any trouble."

"By the way, you also know the garrison there, it's 'Swift Wind' Sha Yun."

When he heard that there was not even a C-level one, Li Re immediately lost interest.

He did have an impression of 'Jifeng' Sha Yun... the maternal head of the cleaning department, a broad-minded person, he had a deep impression of her!

Of course, in addition to being broad-minded, 'Swift Wind' Sha Yun is also quite powerful. She should be in the same class as the unpromoted Little Sword Immortal and Antis at the moment, with an evolution degree of thirty-eight or thirty-nine points close to the silver level. It is not a problem for her to control a D++-level copy.

"Then let's get to the point."

Li Re said: "You probably called here because of the 'list', right?"

"uh-huh?"

Qu Shenyin snorted and said, "It seems that you have also seen this 'list'."

“The effects created by special props above C-level are probably all over the world, and it’s hard not to see them,” Li Re responded candidly.

“It has really spread all over the world.”

Qu Shenyin's voice sounded a little solemn over the phone: "I have received reports from all over the country. I called you mainly to confirm the last point."

"At the moment, it seems that the level of this item should be higher than C-level, and it can at least affect the surroundings of silver-level players!"

"Yes, it's higher than C-level, and maybe even close to B-level." Li Re agreed, but added: "But it may not affect silver-level players."

"At least... this thing can't detect all of my abilities - I'm sure you can too, right?"

"That's natural."

Qu Shenyin's voice was slightly amused: "A mere fifth place cannot encompass my current strength."

"Then what is your total strength?" Li Re climbed up the pole!

"Did you see the one ranked first?" Qu Shenyin suddenly asked back.

"'Stand-in'?" Li Re glanced at the screen.

"Well... I once met him in a dungeon." Qu Shenyin said, "This guy has a very special professional ability. He can replace himself with any existence. I fought with him and found that he can even replace death."

'To die in place of someone else'.

That is to say...

"If you didn't die in his place, you would have beaten him to death!" Li Re naturally understood what Qu Shenyin wanted to say. He smacked his lips and said, "What a pity!"

“It’s a bit of a pity—and that guy didn’t even know how he died after dying for me once. He thought he was trapped in the copy’s fatal mechanism and couldn’t even see my real body.” Qu Shenyin’s calm tone concealed a hint of complacency.

At last, he continued, "The occupation systems of the players in Paradise are different. Players of the same level often do not only judge each other by their abilities, but also by their mutual restraint. The ability of that Stand User may really be able to suppress the Conqueror. His physical fitness is definitely overwhelming compared to players below the Silver level, but he is not dominant among Silver players. He can easily be seized by someone who is fast. Even if he is not so easy to die, he will still be at a disadvantage. For me, such an opponent is not worth mentioning. On the contrary, the Death Angel, whose speed is not inferior to mine, is a greater threat."

"In short, this list cannot be trusted. Although we don't know whether it is intentional or there is really no way to detect the full capabilities of silver players, it seems that the mastermind behind this is trying to take advantage of the pride and resentment in the hearts of the players to create real conflicts."

"This looks very much like the work of an 'illegal player' - I suspect it has something to do with the illegal organization you discovered earlier in the Paradise Department."

"I have already told you the information - then in exchange, if you find anything, you must inform me immediately." Her tone suddenly became serious.

Li Re nodded, knowing that this was the real thing.

But...could it be related to that international illegal player organization with a very long name...he hadn't thought of that.

"That's all for now. I'm almost at my destination."

Qu Shenyin finally said: "After this matter is settled, I will come to find you——"

"It's been delayed for so long, it's time for us to meet!" After these words were spoken, the phone in Li Re's hand was hung up!

Accompanied by a 'beep' sound.

On the other side, in the sky blown by the fierce wind, Qu Shenyin's forward movement stopped. She was suspended in the air with her feet on the air. What she could see when she lowered her eyes with her long black hair was indeed the destination of her solo trip.

The heavy snow covered the undulating domes and streets of the city buildings.

There was a dark air current swirling in it.

The smoke was as thick as a sea.

Amid the roar, one could faintly hear the sound of a factory operating in the distance—

Qu Shenyin put down his phone and slowly fell down.

It fell onto the top of a factory building.

And there, the plump and maternal-looking 'Jifeng' Sha Yun, with a team of uniformly female cleaning department members, seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Li Re on this side also put down his phone.

After a moment of silence, the 'Ghost Inn' suddenly heard a sound again.

"What's the point of saying that the list is unreliable... From my perspective, that guy just can't accept being outshined by you, A-re?"

'Little Sword Fairy' was the first to speak: "Hehehe, she was overtaken by Ah Re, she must be panicking now!"

"You are so sensitive about this kind of thing?" Li Re looked at the girl with surprise!

"What do you mean by actually? I have always been very smart, okay?" Cheng Shiyu raised her pretty face with pride - she completely took Li Re's words as a compliment!

She said, "Just wait, the one who will surpass her next will be me, the Sword Immortal!"

"But it seems that the impact of this incident is indeed very large." Antis breathed out as he stood next to Cheng Shiyu: "I rarely see Qu Shenyin bothering others."

"She has always made her own decisions, whether it is her own affairs or other people's affairs, and she always has the final say -"

Regarding this point, what Antis, who had stayed with Qu Shenyin for a period of time, said was very convincing.

"I think so too."

Yin Bai also said: "Are may not be afraid, but we still have to be a little vigilant... That organization was able to defeat the 'Holy Lord' and was able to conceal it from the world without anyone noticing, using that kind of defective medicine in the country, and now has come up with this list - it doesn't seem normal no matter how you think about it."

"Uh-huh!"

Everyone else has finished talking.
