He... He is Silent!
When this legendary name surfaced, shock spread across every face in the crowd.
In their understanding, Silent never revealed his true identity, remaining an utterly enigmatic presence.
Goddess-tier players like Ye Hongling weren't just deities in the game—they had countless admirers in the real world too. Her beauty had long been deified across major forums.
The white moonlight in countless hearts, Su Jinyu.
The once-in-a-millennium ice queen, Zhao Yixue.
Who among them wasn't a household name?
But Silent One was different.
He was an utterly enigmatic presence, as if the game was merely a game to him, never to be entangled with reality in the slightest!
Who could have imagined actually encountering Silent One?
"So that's it... so that's it..."
"No wonder Miss Ye had the confidence to challenge the Flaming Abyss—she actually invited Silent!!"
"Holy shit, this is fucking unbelievable. I was just fighting side-by-side with my idol?"
"I'd heard rumors about Miss Ye and Silent being close, but I never thought it was true. Hah!"
"I feel better now. If it's Silent, then his strength makes perfect sense..." "
Chu Xiang's face turned as sour as shit.
He'd been the most vocal with his sarcastic jabs.
Now he realized the person he'd mocked was none other than the legendary player "Silent."
And now that the game had merged with reality, Silent remained as powerful as ever—unreasonably powerful, breathtakingly powerful!
He felt like his entire body was on fire.
"Brother Chu, you're something else..."
Someone slapped his shoulder. "Calling BuYu a scrub? Hah, that's bold!"
Chu Xiang, enraged by his own embarrassment, snapped, "You guys mocked him too!"
"Miss Ye, if you'd told us his identity earlier, we wouldn't have..."
His words trailed off as Ye Hongling shot him a cold glance.
Her gaze seemed to say: If I'd warned you beforehand, would you have really thought you were someone special?
"Enough. Thank you all for your efforts on this mission. My steward will ensure your rewards are deposited into your accounts."
After leaving the volcano, Ye Hongling didn't board the helicopter with the others. Instead, she mounted her flaming broomstick and vanished into the sky like a streak of fire.
She was off to Lu City to show off to Su Jinyu.
.....
After Chen Nian departed, he eagerly activated the "Advanced Skill Scroll."
Without exaggeration, this item was rarer than epic-tier equipment—especially for someone like him, whose livelihood depended entirely on rare skills...
[Please Draw Your Word Spirit]
Mysterious golden characters appeared before Chen Nian's eyes.
He tapped forward, and in an instant, golden light erupted like exploding stars.
[Sequence 101 "Heaven's Mandate" Unlocked]
High-risk Word Spirit: Heaven's Mandate!
Even Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a slight shock upon unlocking this Word Spirit.
Its effects were terrifying—truly versatile. Used well, it could rival any other high-tier sequence....
After activating "Heaven's Will," one could draw cards.
Sun, Moon, Stars.
Sun: Increases Constitution by 30%, restores injuries.
Moon: Increases Agility by 30%, restores stamina.
Stars: Increases Supernatural by 30%, restores supernatural power.
Additionally, there was an extremely low chance of drawing "Solar Eclipse," also known as "Black Sun."
Once activated, Black Sun absorbs all surrounding life forms like a black hole... indiscriminately, friend or foe. Utterly terrifying!
This word spirit is genuinely "high-risk." Even Chen Nian himself might struggle to control it.
Everything hinges on what you draw...
But with good luck, it can defy the heavens!
Soon, Chen Nian's account received a notification.
[Your account has received a transfer of "1,000,000" Gold]
This is virtual currency.
1 Gold = 100 real currency
That's one hundred million.
Virtual currency can be converted to real currency at any time.
Ye Hongling's payment was surprisingly prompt.
Chen Nian's haul from this trip was exceptionally bountiful—not only did he awaken a new, powerful Word Spirit and significantly level up, but he also received a massive sum of money.
His next plan was straightforward.
First, he would use the rare material "Camel Mountain Demon Turtle Shell" obtained last time to craft an epic-tier set.
The remaining materials were minor issues. With ample funds now, Chen Nian went straight to the trading space and swept up all the goods.
Materials complete!
Next, he just needed to find someone with the "Blacksmith" talent to work with these materials.
Time to head back to town and rest—he was utterly exhausted.
Turns out kissing was surprisingly draining too...
...
Chen Nian rested at home for a day.
The next morning, he saw the trending news dominated by "himself."
[Shocking! Legendary Player 'Silent' Emerges, Level 95 Boss Brutally Slaughtered]
According to eyewitness accounts, everyone despaired when the boss appeared—until Silent intervened. It couldn't even fight back.... Unfortunately, no one caught a glimpse of Silent's appearance, and no on-site photos exist.
Netizen xx: Holy crap! Finally news about BuYu?
Netizen xx: Husband BuYu is so strong, husband fuck me~~~~
Netizen xx: The Blood Moon Calamity is about to descend! Hope BuYu protects us in our city!
Seems those involved leaked the story. But it's fine—only Ye Hongling saw her own face.
"Chen Nian, Chen Nian, did you see the news?!"
"Bu Yu made an appearance! Holy crap!"
As Bu Yu's ultimate fangirl, Qin Yu rushed over to share the news with Chen Nian.
Chen Nian: Saw it.
Qin Yu: How can you be so calm? That's Bu Yu! He might be the strongest extraordinary being in the world!
Chen Nian: Impressive, impressive.
Seeing Chen Nian's lukewarm response, Qin Yu couldn't help but snort.
"Looks like he's upset because I praised another guy in front of him. But I've never even met that idol—it's just pure admiration!"
"What's up, Xiao Yu? Talking to yourself? Going to level up?" Deng Rongrong called out.
"Nothing much. Just sharing my excitement with Chen Nian. Bu Yu made his first appearance, and I got a little carried away. Maybe he's jealous?"
"Haha..."
Deng Rongrong nearly burst out laughing.
You praised him right in front of him, and he just couldn't be bothered to respond. What the hell is there to be jealous about, sis?
If you ever found out Chen Nian's true identity... you'd probably die of embarrassment on the spot....
Lucheng, Mansion Compound.
Su Jinyu also saw these news reports, but a bitter taste lingered in her heart.
Because she knew the whole story...
"Hmph, what's so great about him?"
"Brother Bu Yu even gave me fireworks. I'm definitely number one in his heart!"
The young girl was muttering to herself when suddenly, a streak of fire streaked across the sky.
Yes, it was Ye Hongling, returning triumphant!
She'd made the trip specifically to tell Su Jinyu every detail of how they'd embraced and kissed during that time.
