724 Another event?
"Hmmm. I wonder if anyone is around?" Liam ruffled his hair and stepped out of the gaming capsule.
He had asked everyone to busy themselves for the next few weeks, so there was a high possibility that no one was in the apartnt. That was fine. He could simply leave a note. Only that woman was in a hurry. He personally was in no such hurry.
To begin with, he did not even fully believe that she actually knew sothing that could help him. There was another reason why he readily jumped into this endeavor, and that was to prepare for the future.
In his last life, at least from what he understood, one of the main reasons why everyone suffered was because of their pitiful soul strength. They couldn't power up as fast as they needed to and when wave after wave of assault arrived, the entire planet collapsed and beca a wasteland.
However, in this life… he might be able to do sothing about this. Of course, he did not intend to be a hero so whatever he did would co at a cost.
He was the one who was giving the pain at the mont, but he also had the dicine for the sa planned in advance, the soul strengthening potion, the one he had given to Rey. He needed to start mass-producing this.
Liam walked out of his room in deep thought about how to balance his ti between training, forging, and alchemy when suddenly he stopped in surprise.
There was a new person sitting on the couch whom he did not recognize. Moreover, it was a very beautiful foreigner.
Was it perhaps Alex or Mia's friend? He had once heard soone comnt that beautiful won flock together, so he was pretty sure that this was soone related to the two of them.
"Hello." Liam bowed to welco the person, who imdiately stood up and returned his greeting with a nervous smile. "You are…"
"I am Derek's sister, Lily." The woman hurriedly introduced herself.
Huh? Liam was startled.
He knew that Derek's family had been working on moving here, but things were complicated because they had to transport a ga capsule with a person in it and make sure that it did not power down. How did they even manage this?
As if she could read his mind, Lily quickly explained. "Miss Alex arranged a private jet for us and made all the arrangents."
Liam nodded. "I am glad to know that you arrived here safely. If there is anything that you need, anything at all, let know. Don't hesitate."
"Thank you, sir. Miss Alex has been very kind to us. She took care of everything."
The next second, an uncomfortable silence filled the room. Liam felt a pang of guilt creeping in. He had tried his best, but he was still unable to find any clues about Derek or what happened to him. Now how was he supposed to face this woman?
Unexpectedly, Lily simply smiled. "Please relax. I am not here to complain to you or ask you about my brother. Miss Alex gave a task, so I have been waiting for you."
"Oh?" Liam did not anticipate this at all. He fully expected her to grab his shirt collar and ask him for justice. Derek trusted him, and now he was missing. Who else was responsible for him?
"What task?" He asked.
"There is a new event in the ga." Lily smiled and quickly explained the beast siege event.
Liam nodded respectfully. He could see that the woman in front of him looked extrely frail and tired. Even though she was smiling, her eyes were very sad. She might not want to pressure him by demanding that he save Derek, but how could she not worry about him?
Also, what the hell was this beast siege event? He frowned in contemplation. Sothing like this was completely unheard of in his last lifeti. So why the hell was this event happening now?
Had he changed the tiline so much that now it was no longer recognizable, even remotely? Liam rubbed his temples. He already had a lot left to accomplish in the few weeks that were remaining. Now, what was this new headache?
But then again, an event like this was the perfect chance to level up. In his previous lifeti, most of the players had leveled up using the nether realm event. However, that had abruptly ended for whatever reason.
So perhaps this was a replacent event? Sothing made up to correct that anomaly? But why did that anomaly crop up in the first place? If the divine temple had not intervened, the nether realm event would have continued. So why did they intervene?
There were too many questions, and Liam did not want to go down the rabbit hole to guess the reason behind each occurrence. There were more important tasks at hand at the mont.
After listening to Lily, Liam then asked her to log back into the ga and ask Alex to imdiately log out and et with him. This was sothing he needed to personally discuss with her.
Lily nodded and hurriedly did as she was asked. A few minutes later, Alex panted and ran over. "Liam! Good! You are back! Listen, I have sothing very important to talk to you."
Liam smiled bitterly. "Before that, I have sothing even more important to talk to you."
"Huh?" Alex stared in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
"I am talking about another new event that we have to basically organize."
Alex sat down and listened to him as Liam explained to her the most bizarre thing that she had ever heard of. "This has to happen now. Preferably before the beast siege event. Since everyone will be busy preparing for that, it is a perfect ti for implenting this."
"Ok, I will do my best." She nodded.
As usual, while everyone else was playing one ga, Liam seed to be playing a completely different ga. Where this was going to land them was definitely a mystery. She gulped and stood up to leave, giving him another glance.
An hour later…
A strange rumor started spreading about the appearance of a new legendary item.
