Chapter 353: "Yi... Yi won't... be in trouble, right?
```
"I understand," Li Yi said, his eyes lighting up with realization. He didn't harbor any major doubts about the matter; after all, the Lisu Tribe was from his Awesome Starfield, and he was fairly aware of their recent situation. Indeed, many partners had canceled their cooperation with the Lisu Tribe over this issue.
Without going into details,
His Sky City had already forced the Lisu Tribe to withdraw from the competition.
The reason was simple; he didn't want to offend Chen Yi over a single Lisu Tribe matter and risk straining their relationship—it wouldn't be good.
Just passing along a message didn't take much effort.
After pondering for a moment, Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Chen Yi for you, but whether or not he agrees is uncertain. However, I do need to clarify something with you in advance."
"Chen Yi is still a newbie player. Even if he accepts your duel invitation, he won't be able to come to Awesome Starfield just yet. It might take about half a year; you're aware of this, right?"
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
The Lisu Tribal Chief, visibly excited, rose to his feet and said with a trembling voice, "As long as Big Boss Chen Yi agrees to this matter, we will find a way to get him to Awesome Starfield. Leave these matters to us to handle."
"Then, I thank you, Former Leader Li."
"Don't thank me yet; I'll inquire about the situation for you."
...
"I'm not going."
Chen Yi replied in the chat box with a face devoid of expression, resolute in his response, "Absolutely not going."
At the same time, he felt even more determined to wipe out the Lisu Tribe at the earliest opportunity. If this tribe was so adamant about inviting him to a duel, he wouldn't believe for a second there were no tricks or conspiracies behind it—definitely shady business going on behind the scenes.
As for the idea that letting the duel's compensation process be witnessed by other partners would alleviate the Lisu Tribe's predicament, he trusted that even less.
If that was the intention, there were far too many other methods available; why choose the most complicated one?
Ever since he found out he had almost died in the A-level map of Pharaoh's Tomb, he had become extremely cautious—fearing an unexpected capsize in the gutter at any moment. Even with his hundreds of millions of hit points and status as a Seed Player, he still felt somewhat insecure.
He needed more of a safety net.
Especially since he now had a far more important task at hand.
"Prop Name": S-level Admission Ticket.
"Prop Level": S-level.
"Prop Effect": Upon activation, this prop will allow a group of 10 players who all possess an S-level Admission Ticket to enter a map, where there is a chance to obtain an S-level prop.
However, only one player can obtain the S-level prop, while the other nine players will receive A-level props.
A-level props are guaranteed, and each player will receive at least one A-level prop.
The prop effects within the map are random and cannot be chosen.
The map will only open once 10 players have been assembled. If the number of matched players is insufficient, please wait patiently.
"Prop Restrictions": Can only be used once.
"Prop Description": "Owning an S-level prop earns you a true entrance ticket to the stage."
An S-level Admission Ticket!!!
He had acquired this prop a long time ago during his first trip to Annihilation Starfield to defeat the Five Clans. This prop had been sitting like a lump in his inventory for quite a while.
Either he didn't have the time to go,
Or he had the time, but there weren't 10 players gathered for the map.
And now—
The 10 players had finally come together, and the map could officially be accessed.
As long as he entered the map, he was guaranteed an A-level prop, and if he could be the last one standing, he could obtain an S-level prop.
Up until now, he had only one S-level prop, Longevity as the Southern Mountains. Apart from that, he had no other S-level props—of course, the Sea God's Boots were an exception, being a work in progress.
For him, the most important thing right now was this map at hand. As for the duel with the Lisu Tribe, he hadn't given it a second thought. Once Blue Star's Newbie Protection Period was over, he would seek out the Lisu Tribe for a chat.
"Map Name": Children of the Forest.
"Map Level": None.
"Map Introduction": In an expansive forest, are you confident that you can be the last one standing?
"This map is for the S-level Admission Ticket. The ultimate victor will receive a random S-level prop, while the other players will receive random A-level props."
"PS: This map has randomly been confirmed to be the 'Fury of the Sea of Corpses' in the Wonder Atlas, ranked at 78. Please be prepared."
"PS2: All players will officially enter the map in three minutes."
"Sea of Mummies?"
Chen Yi looked at the map alert that popped up before him, stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile.
What kind of luck was this?
It almost felt as if he already possessed the S-level prop "Fortune as Vast as the Eastern Sea."
With this Wondrous map, it was his absolute home ground. Neither mentioning the agility of the Boots of the Sea God within the map, nor even the "Fury of the Sea of Corpses" Skill could exert an absolute dominant role.
"This is a sure thing."
Tuberculosis Rabbit, looking at the map, laughed as well, "It seems we can already congratulate Yi for securing the S-level prop in advance. I just wonder what planets the other players come from. As long as there are no players with six or seven books, there shouldn't be any problem."
