Virus King - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Earthbound Spirit! The Last Stop in Magic City!

TL: YYang

The dark room instantly became eerily quiet once more.

In just a matter of seconds, the ferocious figure from before had been taken down by Chen Bai with what seemed like divine intervention. Three swift strikes were all it took, leaving the once ferocious foe sprawled lifelessly on the ground.

This sudden turn of events transformed the terror-stricken sisters into starry-eyed admirers.

Chen Bai, however, felt a tinge of regret.

He couldn’t help but acknowledge that Wei Hao’s talent was quite remarkable. Even though it was only an S-Rank talent, ranking often didn’t tell the whole story. Wei Hao’s ability to gain attributes through killing enemies was truly formidable!

If not for this exceptional talent, Wei Hao would never have grown so powerful in such a short period of time. It was no wonder that, in the future, he would become the Ghost King!

Shaking his head, Chen Bai turned his attention to the two sisters, his expression softening as he smiled slightly.

“I won’t stay in Magic City for too long,” he said. “After some time, I’ll take both of you away from here.”

Yan Qi and Yan Xue were visibly reluctant.

“Uncle, Yan Xue doesn’t want to leave home!”

Faced with this naive and innocent benevolent spirit, Chen Bai chose the carrot over the stick.

“Oh? Does Xue’er not want to stay with Uncle anymore?” he teased.

Yan Xue immediately shook her head in panic.

“Of course not! Yan Xue wants to be with Uncle!”

Beside her, Yan Qi shot a glare at her younger sister, clearly dissatisfied with her words.

Realizing her mistake, Yan Xue quickly added, “And also stay with Big Sister…”

“But what if something like this happens again? Without someone to protect you, it won’t be so easy next time,” Chen Bai said with a smile.

The mention of the fierce and menacing Wei Hao from earlier made Yan Xue recall his terrifying demeanor, plunging her into a dilemma.

Chen Bai, noticing their struggle, blinked knowingly.

He could tell that both Yan Qi and Yan Xue were deeply attached to their home.

If possible, it would naturally be best for them to stay.

However, Chen Bai couldn’t remain in Magic City forever.

Especially now.

Previously, he might have needed to linger in Magic City to strengthen himself further, but that was no longer necessary.

The Abyss was now his personal treasure trove.

As long as he guarded this vast fortune, there was no need to roam elsewhere—Magic City included.

Moreover, he had Meng Meng.

With Meng Meng’s dream link, everyone in Group Chat No. 001 could gather for dungeon exploration and team-building.

Under such circumstances, why waste time wandering aimlessly?

Returning to White Emperor City to enjoy the life of an emperor in the apocalypse sounded far more appealing.

Thus, Chen Bai had made up his mind to leave, and Yan Qi and Yan Xue would have to come with him.

That said, Chen Bai rarely resorted to force with his playthings or pets unless absolutely necessary. Most of the time, he preferred to come up with alternative solutions.

And now, a solution had indeed come to him.

Pulling out a Pocket Store, which appeared as nothing more than a fist-sized glass orb, Chen Bai casually threw it to the ground.

With a sudden puff of smoke, a miniature counter materialized before him.

“My dear friend,” came the voice of Redo. “I didn’t expect you to summon me so soon! What’s the good news, or rather, how can I be of service?”

Compared to the summoning scrolls, this Pocket Store was the real deal.

Using Redo’s words, this was a privilege reserved only for super VIP members of the Goblin Store. Not only did it offer the highest level of discounts, but it also allowed for specific custom requests, making it exceptionally convenient!

After Chen Bai explained Yan Qi and Yan Xue’s situation, Redo fell into deep thought. It didn’t take long before he clapped his hands as an idea struck him.

“Got it! Across the myriad worlds, the power of professions is vast and diverse, numbering beyond count. There are quite a few professions that connect to one’s territory, even allowing the territory to be moved! This young lady is of a soul body, an incredibly rare dual-soul physique, and there is one profession that perfectly meets their requirements!”

Chen Bai’s eyes lit up.

“Redo, you…”

Before he could finish, Redo retrieved a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Chen Bai.

“This lady’s talent is fascinating and barely meets my criteria for an investor. On your account, Chen, I’ll give this to you!”

Chen Bai couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. Wasn’t this God of Trade starting to look a bit like Doraemon?

Of course, Chen Bai understood the purpose behind Redo’s generosity. Smiling, he replied:

“Redo, the 1st to 9th Layers of the Abyss are now completely under my control. I have taken over the authority of the Abyssal Will and the Abyssal Well, so you’re welcome to choose a location for the Goblin Merchant Guild anytime within those layers.”

Every transaction was a give-and-take. Chen Bai understood this principle well.

The small goblin laughed heartily.

“My dear Chen, I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. While the demons on the 1st to 9th Layers of the Abyss aren’t very strong, establishing the Goblin Merchant Guild in the Abyss is a huge step forward for our collaboration! Farewell!”

With a bang, the Pocket Store vanished into thin air.

Chen Bai then turned his attention to the scroll in his hand.

[Earthbound Spirit Profession Transfer Scroll (B+ Rank)]

[Description: Even the undead have a place to belong. Their connection to a location, both in life and death, grants them strength from it. Such is the nature of the Earthbound Spirit.]

[Profession Requirements: Soul Body, Level 10.]

Earthbound Spirit?!

Chen Bai paused, intrigued as he examined the transfer scroll. A profession that could tether one’s power to a residence? It truly fit the bill.

Though it sounded a bit peculiar, Chen Bai had to admit that Redo’s vast knowledge and experience had solved a significant problem for him.

However, the current levels of Yan Qi and Yan Xue presented a small hurdle—they were only halfway through Level 7. For most evolvers, this was already an impressive feat.

After all, the advantage of their dual spirits body was substantial.

But reaching Level 10 would still take some effort.

Chen Bai wasn’t too concerned. He wasn’t planning to leave Magic City immediately. He had another task to complete: clearing the hidden difficulty of Red Star Psychiatric Hospital once more to encounter the 16th of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, Zepar.

Bringing Yan Qi along wouldn’t be a big deal.

At that thought, Chen Bai’s mind wandered to Han Xiao. Come to think of it, Han Xiao’s connection to the psychiatric hospital ran deeper than most.

Opening the long-ignored Group Chat No. 001, Chen Bai decided to check in.

The moment he entered, he saw a message from Han Xiao:

[Your Han King: Can someone kind-hearted help a brother out? I just need a little more experience to transfer professions…]

Chen Bai smiled faintly.

[Bai: I’ll take you. Get ready at home, and I’ll come find you soon.]

In an instant, the entire Group Chat No. 001 exploded into chaos!
