PFRG: Chapter 177

Chi Ting was originally confused by this random incident. Then he looked up and saw Hua Qianmei and Lu Nanling following behind. After a bit of thought, he roughly understood what was going on.

Lou Yueren let him go. He looked up at the other person’s obviously unhappy expression, and his heart warmed slightly. He continued with the conversation, “Then it would be better if we don’t stay apart for so long in the future.”

Lou Yueren was obviously very happy to hear this and smiled. “Of course, I will be your little tail from now on.”

Chi Ting said, “Such a small tail.”

“Hmm?”

Chi Ting smiled. “Get ready. It is time to work.”

“……”

Lou Yueren thought there was good news. Hearing this, his face paused slightly, and he sighed helplessly. Then he looked to the side and asked, “Are these the other teams we have contacted?”

Chi Ting nodded and showed the communicator in his hand. “Lucky, I just managed to contact Captain He and his team. According to him, they have also contacted other teams. If we calculate it this way, all eight teams should be together. After notifying them, they are all coming to our side now.”

“Not bad. Then this No 1 stronghold is indeed the initial refresh location for all teams.” Lou Yueren was very confident in his old friend He Yuanqing. “If Old He comes over, just let him do the dirty work. After all, his words are quite useful in this place.”

Chi Ting responded, “I think so too.”

Lou Yueren was communicating with Chi Ting as if no one was around. He could feel the gazes on him, but he just glanced at them calmly out of the corner of his eye. Then he looked away as if hearing nothing.

The other teams saw this look of not caring at all, causing the top players to secretly exchange looks with each other.

Before meeting Ji Xingque and his team, the Heichao team had already joined up with the Ten Thousand Year Prison team. These two were both veteran teams at the top. Their relationship wasn’t very good, but they were already familiar with each other. They had already observed the two members of the Dawn team who were leading the way. They had obviously heard about the former God Lou joining the Dawn team since it was so noisy outside. Therefore, when Lou Yueren appeared, they subconsciously paid special attention to him. They never expected that when they met, the other person would give them a wave of dog food without any hesitation.

One of the two teams mainly came from the 2nd World, and the other one was mainly from the 4th World. They had only heard about the person who entered the ultimate instance, so they naturally didn’t dare to underestimate the other person. However, seeing that they were being ignored like this, they couldn’t help feeling a bit strange for a while.

This God Lou was a bit too arrogant.

Xu Gao, the captain of the Ten Thousand Year Prison team, smiled and turned to look over. “What do you mean?”

The person next to him was the captain of the Heichao team, Lang Xuelin. He had a smile on his face and didn’t show any anger at all. “What else can we do? After all, he is the first-generation great god. With his status, we, the younger generation, have to take the initiative to go over and say hello.”

Xu Gao felt as if he had heard the funniest joke. “When did you start to respect the first-generation masters so much? I couldn’t tell at all when you met Captain He before.”

Lang Xuelin smiled. “I’ve met He Yuanqing so many times. There is no mystery about him any longer.”

Xu Gao shook his head when he heard this. “What a scumbag quote.”

Lang Xuelin didn’t take the teasing seriously at all and just walked past.

The rest of the team followed quickly. Soon, the Heichao team arrived in front of Lou Yueren and Chi Ting.

Lang Xuelin and Chi Ting had already met each other. He nodded politely and extended his hand to Lou Yueren. “Lang Xuelin, the captain of the Heichao team. God Lou, I have heard of your great name for a long time.”

Lou Yueren shook his hand casually. “Yes, you’re welcome.”

Without waiting for the other party to speak again, he said slowly, “If you want to ask about the ultimate instance, it might not be convenient.”

Lang Xuelin choked a bit when he was about to speak. Then he smiled casually. “Of course, I understand.”

Xu Gao happened to see this scene when he came over with his team members. He immediately laughed loudly.

Without any hesitation, he took the person over and gave a brief introduction.

Chi Ting leaned casually against the wall next to him, listening to the seemingly lively conversation here. Occasionally, he turned his head to look at the corner in the other direction.

It wasn’t until he finally caught sight of the figures approaching from afar that he stood up and said, “They are coming.”

He Yuanqing arrived relatively late. Apparently, it was mainly because he gathered other teams in advance.

In this way, with the simultaneous arrival of the Prisoner, Satan, Shadow Knights, and Seven Seas team, all the eight teams that entered the instance today were finally assembled.

All of a sudden, the originally empty square was completely lively. It was as if it was a gathering scene between the teams.

Everyone in the instance was happily communicating with each other. This scene was seen by players outside the camera of the live stream room, which shocked them.

Putting aside the names of these famous top teams, people like He Yuanqing, Lang Xuelin, X Gao, and Xi Qinxin were all absolutely god-level players that people looked up to. In comparison, even captains of top teams like Qiu Ji and Xu Luan seemed to be much inferior. Before this, who could’ve thought that these people would one day stand together and communicate peacefully like this? This was absolutely an unprecedented gathering of gods!

Just looking at the interface on the screen was enough to make players feel excited. In the blink of an eye, the player forum was flooded with fans of the major teams.

As discussion posts were popping up one after another outside, the people in the instance obviously didn’t have much energy to continue chatting like this. Such a long countdown was still happening. Now wasn’t the time to continue chatting.

He Yuanqing had already greeted the Dawn team after the gathering. Compared with Chi Ting’s team, he was obviously much more familiar with the people from other teams. After meeting each other, he didn’t say much and went straight to the point, asking, “So, what do you want to say next? Do you want to push someone out for unified command or let them play freely? Please express your opinions.”

After all, those present weren’t new players. Those who could make it to the top were naturally smarter than the others. They could naturally understand the real meaning behind He Yuanqing’s words.

It seemed that the main task of this instance was to complete the tower defense, but the final ranking by contribution value meant there must be competition. As long as there was competition, any united front would no longer appear stable.

They were all thousand year old foxes, so there was no need to hide the twists and turns in their hearts.

Lang Xuelin still had that smiling expression on his face. As the others were still silent, he was the first to speak. “The first wave shouldn’t be difficult to handle. Let’s just do as we see fit.’

Don’t be fooled by his usual appearance of being approachable and easy to talk to. In the unlimited world, just these words ‘do as we see fit’ were actually filled with absolute arrogance in his own strength, no matter how casually they were said.

Of course, he could say this only because everyone present had the capital to ‘do as we see fit.’

In response to this proposal, on behalf of his Ten Thousand Year Prison team, Xu Gao also expressed his attitude. “Okay, let’s see how difficult it is in the first few waves. If we really encounter trouble, we can discuss how to deal with it later.”

“Heh, grabbing points? I don’t mind.” This time, it was Xi Qinxin from the Satan team who spoke up. As the only female captain, she looked innocent and unthreatening. However, anyone who knew her wouldn’t dare to underestimate her. Once she finished speaking, she waved for her teammates to follow her. As she turned around and left, she didn’t forget to tell the other teams, “Our Satan will be in charge of the southwest area. Friendly teams are welcome to come and support us.”

Looking at the backs of the Satan team leaving, Lang Xuelin slowly shook his head. “Support… it always feels like they are welcoming us to come over and give our heads.”

He thought for a while before saying, “Forget it. I still don’t want to get involved too much with Xi Qinxin. Our team will just stick to this piece of land.”

As Lang Xuelin spoke, he circled an area on the virtual panel. Looking at the position, they were indeed maintaining an absolute distance from the Satan team.

Then Xu Gao drew a cross to indicate the direction that Ten Thousand Year Prison chose to take charge of. Then the captain of the Shadow Knights team, also made a mark. This was followed by Qiu Ji of the Seven Seas team…

He Yuanqing didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all. He watched the Jazz team’s Qu Leng pick a relatively safe coordinate for his team before looking at the two silent people. He was obviously puzzled by their sudden low profile. “Aren’t you going to choose?”

Chi Ting hadn’t shown any active participation from the beginning. He raised his eyes after hearing this and said, “It’s okay. You guys choose first. We’ll take care of the rest.”

Lou Yueren nodded in agreement. “Our captain is right.”

He Yuanqing opened his mouth. “You…”

Weren’t they a bit too indifferent to the world?

He didn’t have much contact with Chi Ting, but he knew a lot about Lou Yueren. If it was in the past, he never would’ve believed that this guy would act like this one day.

If he hadn’t known it was true love, he would’ve suspected that Lou Yueren was cursed.

Since they said so, He Yuanqing didn’t refuse and pointed to a location on the map. “Then our team will go here.”

Chi Ting nodded and waved to the team members. “Let’s go.”

He had just started walking when he suddenly remembered something. “Oh, Captain He. I would like to trouble you to remind the others as well.”

“What is it?”

“During the battle, please be careful and try not to have close contact with these alien species. Your words should be more useful than mine.”

He Yuanqing was slightly stunned. Then he understood what Chi Ting meant.

Facing such a calm and firm gaze, he nodded. “I understand.”

It was only then that Chi Ting felt relieved and left with the others in Dawn.

It was still unclear what the relationship between this instance and their original world was, but various signs made it difficult for him to not think too much. If it was finally confirmed that the ones they were going to fight were indeed the ‘old friends’ he thought of, then this tower defense probably wouldn’t be as easy as imagined.

As the crowd in the square dispersed, the scene that had just been noisy became quiet again.

Up to now, the distribution of this instance had been completed in a simple and rough manner. At the very least, everything seemed harmonious right now.

But obviously, no one knew how long this peaceful appearance could last.

Finally, as the countdown on the virtual panel ended, the first wave of alien attacks officially began.

On the screen walls of each small world, one could see everyone on high alert through the live stream interfaces of each major team.

At this moment, the originally peaceful time seemed to be suddenly plunged into noise. Even the dry ground faintly vibrated.

Even though they had experienced many battles, the faces of these top players vaguely changed when the dense red dots appeared on the virtual map without warning.

There was such an astonishing number of monsters. Was this just the first wave?
