Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

Yutianxiao looked at Xia Yubing:

"Consultant Xia, when the fight breaks out, find a place to hide. You're not a combatant, no need to risk losing your character."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely hide quickly!"

Xia Yubing gave a thumbs up, chuckled, and then looked down at the scroll in her hand:

"If this keeps up, I might actually master all sorts of English-related culture."

Seems like this job is quite interesting after all.

"Consultant Xia, please step aside for a moment, let us set up the cannon here."

The players nearby dragged a cannon from the ship, and the surrounding players also got to work, bustling with activity.

"Oh, okay."

Xia Yubing snapped out of her thoughts and quickly stepped aside to make way for the setup.

To give credit where it's due, Qiongyu truly deserves its reputation as a major guild. After restructuring and merging teams, the integration between players happened swiftly. Just this time alone, there was an entire professional team's worth of members who had already completed personnel distribution. They brought equipment and materials themselves, and Zhengxu's street wasn't damaged much, so the construction process seemed like magic, as a small fortress quickly rose from the ground.

However, as time ticked away, the previously calm Qiongyu Guild gradually fell into confusion.

"We've already sent out five teams to search for the Demon Contract. Why hasn't the task triggered yet?"

Long Yuqiong was the first to notice this issue:

"Even though I haven't done much PVE, the feedback in this game is usually pretty quick."

"I'll go check."

Yutianxiao opened the chat channel, but the system indicated interference and communication was impossible.

"Hmm?"

Seeing the situation, Yutianxiao immediately furrowed his brows.

"What's wrong?"

"We've lost contact. Maybe they entered an instance or have already triggered the task. In any case, we can't reach them." Yutianxiao said, "Let's wait a bit more; the main force can't move forward recklessly."

Long Yuqiong glanced at the time:

"We can't wait any longer. If we keep waiting, Azure Star might be blown up."

"I doubt it. Lord Entropy seems to be on his last legs now, and victory in the Main Quest is within reach."

Yutianxiao had been to Starry Abyss; he knew how deep Li Aozi's resources ran.

Especially during the early days after the server opened, all Baizhu Star players were repeatedly brainwashed by Li Aozi's recruitment drive, and with the massive supply of resources, all the Baizhu Star players gave full allegiance to Li Aozi.

"We can't pin all our hopes on others."

Long Yuqiong donned his exoskeleton arms and placed his weapon onto the rack on his back:

"Let's move; whether it's the demon or the senator, the outcome will be the same."

"...Senator?"

Yutianxiao squinted his eyes, pretending to ask nonchalantly.

"Uh—" Long Yuqiong paused, "I meant the 'Hairdresser.' I was just thinking about 'Society,' so I got them mixed up."

"Oh, I understand. When there's too much on your mind, it's easy to let things slip out."

Yutianxiao kept a calm face, still smiling warmly as he said:

"It's just that, as far as I remember, I don't recall ever mentioning anything about a senator in the 'Society' hierarchy to you?"

"You remembered wrong."

Long Yuqiong deflected casually.

"Really? I actually have a pretty good memory. Especially when it comes to people around me, I remember clearly what was said and done. Can't forget even if I tried."

Yutianxiao said, chuckling, holding a magic wand in one hand, and casually following behind Long Yuqiong as the two of them led the main force toward the city.

"Out of the millions of things you've forgotten, why not forget about these trivial matters too."

Long Yuqiong covered one ear with his hand, a red and black glow flickering in his eyes.

"Lai Anding Immortal Spirit, the cognition filter still needs further enhancement. Some deities have too strong personalities."

"I naturally—(static sound)—understand that, but this isn't something that can be done—(incomplete static)—overnight. You @ need to go—(gibberish)—further to expand influence in Starry Abyss; (distortion) only then can more—(noise)—Layer Abyss permissions be accessed."

The voice of Lai Anding Immortal Spirit crossed Starry Abyss, indistinct and heavily disrupted. Without listening carefully, it was impossible to catch the meaning.

"Then after dealing with Lord Entropy, let's have a hotfix."

"It depends on how far your (massive noise) can... (very high delay) achieve—what."

The Immortal Spirit's voice became completely unintelligible, and Long Yuqiong sighed, having to concede the point, internally grumbling:

"Those with personality are quite useful, but they notice the cognition filter too easily."

This wasn't an isolated incident. Previously, Gio Zieou was the same, having shattered the cognition filter himself several times even before the competition began.

Maintaining the cognition filter is a basic principle, and not all deities resonate with Primordial Abyss' ideology, especially regarding ruling Starry Abyss. If internal unity can't be achieved, it would be better to have everyone just keep quiet.

Let this be just a game, a dream of sorts.

"If every deity were as well-behaved as Xia Yubing, yet still capable of showing their specialty, I wouldn't be so hesitant in picking teammates."

Long Yuqiong thought this, his gaze instinctively falling on Xia Yubing, protected in the middle of the team:

"Come to think of it, if her true self knew how closely she's working with Gio Zieou, how would she react?"

He paused slightly, suddenly realizing he was becoming sentimental.
