Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers

"What the hell... there's definitely something wrong!"

This thought rose in Yu Yuan's mind just as he thought he had fallen for the trap.

But then he heard a vaguely familiar voice.

—【Hey, this is one of my descendants. Don't mess with him... spare his life! He'll follow your arrangements】

The voice was filled with a sense of vicissitude and loneliness.

But Yu Yuan was certain he had heard this voice before. His memory raced through a rapid search.

Soon.

An image surfaced in Yu Yuan's mind — a scruffy man sitting atop a mountain peak, drinking alone while embracing solitude.

It was the scene that had appeared when Yu Yuan upgraded the【Old Dog Underground Bar】into the【Myriad Nations Bathhouse】.

The true owner of the【Old Dog Underground Bar】— Old Dog.

Yu Yuan's pupils dilated, his heart shaking violently.

"This... is Old Dog's voice?"

"That werewolf is one of Old Dog's descendants..."

Yu Yuan's earlier speculation about that phantom figure resurfaced in his mind.

His heart seemed to skip a beat.

"Doesn't that mean... that werewolf phantom just now was Old Dog! He's a member of the Wolf Clan? Above Gold... he's the Wolf Clan's... Ancestor!!!"

As soon as this speculation emerged, Yu Yuan felt completely unsettled.

Because it was just too explosive!

Yu Yuan would never have dreamed that the scruffy guy who neglected his own bar and went to some nameless mountaintop to drink alone in melancholy would actually be the Wolf Clan Ancestor!

This news directly overturned Yu Yuan's understanding.

But when he had upgraded the【Myriad Nations Bathhouse】back then, Old Dog had not only offered no obstruction but had even helped promote it in his bar.

He had always maintained goodwill toward Yu Yuan, even though his attitude was certainly strange and awkward.

Yu Yuan calmed his emotions and pondered for a few seconds.

"Zhi Zhi, let him come over! Tell him not to do anything that would make me misunderstand."

"My master wants you to come over. I'm warning you — don't do anything that would cause any misunderstandings, or else..."

Shadow Wolf listened to the shadow rat before him, his heart also feeling somewhat tense.

After all, exposing himself meant handing his own life over to the other party.

And his【Wild Fang】had already been sent out. He was truly worried now!

But his mind became even more certain — the other party should be the secret trump card of the Hall of Fate.

Thinking of the Ancestor's words, he finally gritted his teeth and stepped out.

"Ancestor, my life depends on your reputation!" Despite saying this, Shadow Wolf had also prepared to dodge danger and escape.

But he had clearly overthought things. His entire body was exposed.

There was no expected attack.

All he saw was a figure standing silently on the bloody flesh platform a kilometer away, looking at him.

Shadow Wolf breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and no longer hesitated. He approached at a steady, unhurried pace.

When he reached about a few dozen meters from Yu Yuan, he slowly stopped.

The distance between them was now reliable enough. Shadow Wolf's gaze at Yu Yuan grew increasingly strange.

It was a complex expression of shock, doubt, trying to force himself to accept it, but repeatedly questioning.

Simply put — it was a 'what the hell' expression.

Quite comical.

Because at this distance, Shadow Wolf had already sensed Yu Yuan's life level — it was actually Bronze-tier.

That's right, Bronze-tier.

His understanding began to waver.

"No... no way!"

A Bronze-tier player actually managed to kill Artus and nearly took him down with one shot?

Were the people of the Hall of Fate this wild now?

Or were all Bronze-rank players this wild?

People always said their Wolf Clan were civilization's brutes, but at this moment in Shadow Wolf's eyes, that guy opposite him was the real brute.

A Bronze-tier actually dared to assassinate a Silver-tier, and succeeded at that.

Yu Yuan watched the constantly shifting expressions on the werewolf's face, one eyebrow slightly raised.

"This guy isn't an idiot, is he?"

Thinking this in his mind, his mouth had already spoken. Raising the pendant in his hand, he asked:

"Hey, this pendant — who told you to give it to me?"

"Of course, our Wolf Clan Ancestor gave it? Don't you know?" Shadow Wolf said matter-of-factly.

"As expected!" Yu Yuan thought inwardly.

With his speculation confirmed, Yu Yuan completely abandoned the idea of killing Shadow Wolf.

He had to give face to Old Dog.

And Old Dog had said that this guy would follow his orders...

"What's your name, and how many Invitation Letters do you have on you?"

"Just call me Shadow Wolf. I have two Invitation Letters on me."

Shadow Wolf readily complied. As he spoke, he had already adeptly taken out the two Civilization Relic Invitation Letters.

"The Ancestor said I'm to follow all your arrangements."

The shadow rat took the Invitation Letters and quickly delivered them before Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan took the Invitation Letters, his wariness toward Shadow Wolf relaxing somewhat.

From the current situation, Old Dog — or rather, the Wolf Clan's attitude — seemed to be relatively friendly.

And Yu Yuan had indeed never had any conflict with the Wolf Clan before.

Since that was the case...

He looked at Shadow Wolf.

"Good. Then find a place to hide yourself! As long as you don't appear before me, I won't touch you."

With that, Yu Yuan transformed into shadow and vanished before Shadow Wolf.

Shadow Wolf's heart relaxed slightly.

But he still felt extremely awkward. He, a dignified Silver-tier player, had actually been warned by a Bronze-tier player. What a feeling...

Forget it. To be honest, the pressure the other party brought him was truly immense.

He was clearly just a Bronze-tier player, but Shadow Wolf always felt somewhat oppressed and nervous when facing him.

It was like he was facing some big shot. Sensing his own thoughts, Shadow Wolf silently shook his head, chose a direction, and flashed away.

The other party told him to find a place to hide, so he would find a place to hide.

The current situation was beyond his control.

Especially the deaths of Artus and Demon Anta — they had probably already caused an uproar in the outside world.

He also needed to consider his plan after getting out.

【Detected that Player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has obtained all Invitation Letters for 'Morphis Civilization Relic.' Would you like to complete the 'Civilization Relic Permission Key (Incomplete)'?】

Looking at the prompt information appearing on the Virtual Light Screen, Yu Yuan didn't hesitate for a moment.

—【Yes】

The five【Civilization Relic Invitation Letters】found on Artus and Shadow Wolf all transformed into streams of light, drilling into the Virtual Light Screen.

【Congratulations! Player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has obtained a Special item — Morphis Civilization Relic Permission Key ×1】

【Congratulations! Player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has obtained the Morphis Civilization Relic's Highest Management Authority, obtained the Morphis Civilization Relic Area Dynamic Map, obtained the Morphis Civilization Relic Resource Distribution Map...】

"It worked!"

A flash of joy passed through Yu Yuan's eyes.

"Master, Shadow Wolf listened to your words and hid in a shadow. No unusual behavior."

Yu Yuan gently nodded.

"That's for the best."

On the Virtual Light Screen, a real-time updated map appeared.

Not only did it mark the name and function of each important building in detail.

But beside these buildings, it additionally marked the resource information within each building. These buildings were also marked with different colors according to their resource value.

Everything was clear at a glance.

And the core area of the entire map was naturally that【Place of Divine Rest】.

The color there was also the most dazzling — a brilliant gold.

"Place of Divine Rest, it's time to go take a look there!" Yu Yuan was very much looking forward to discovering what was inside!
