Virus King - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: The White Emperor Palace! Chen Bai’s Evolver ID! Master, I Beg Discipline!

TL: Yang

The purple crystal shimmered, exuding an unparalleled beauty.

Standing in the villa, Song Ziqiong’s eyes shone violet. At this moment, a fully purple crystal dagger had appeared in her hand.

The dagger’s chilling gleam was sharp enough to pierce anything!

Just moments ago, upon reaching Level 3, Song Ziqiong finally raised her spirit points to 10.

With 10 points in Spirit, she could unlock the second talent of her Amethyst Eyes!

And this slowly coalescing crystal dagger was clearly that talent!

She kept testing her ability tirelessly, until suddenly, she felt faint and fell backward into someone’s arms, which helped her come to her senses.

Chen Bai’s voice rang out:

“You don’t have to use new abilities so excessively! Do you think you have enough spirit points for that?”

Regaining her focus, Song Ziqiong rubbed her throbbing temples and hurriedly replied:

“You’re back. Nothing happened, right?”

Chen Bai shook his head; he certainly wouldn’t tell her what was lurking in that sewer.

“You’ve all seen the rewards for completing the mission, right?”

Song Ziqiong nodded, her spirits lifted. The mission rewards had filled her empty experience bar by another huge chunk!

Such happiness was pure bliss!

But Chen Bai’s next words made her tense up.

“I won’t be staying in Jiangcheng much longer. In a few days, I’ll be leaving the city.”

Although she didn’t want to admit it, Song Ziqiong had to acknowledge that without Chen Bai, even just this last crisis would have rendered all her previous efforts meaningless.

This man—though she didn’t want to rely on him, she was already used to it.

She didn’t say much, just nodded. She knew that once this man made a decision, no one could change it.

“I’ll probably stay for a few more days, leave once the settlement has taken basic form. During these days, I’ll work on building up your strength, to ensure today’s events don’t happen again.”

Pausing, Chen Bai continued:

“Before that, there are a few things to address. Once the settlement is established, especially with a wall to ensure perfect safety against zombies, providing protection for all Evolvers, the settlement will begin to charge an entrance fee and daily tribute.

Those entering are required to pay a copper coin for entry.

And each extra day of stay will cost an additional copper coin. If unpaid, they will be forcibly evicted—unless they join the settlement, become guards, or work to earn exemption.

Property owners within the settlement are exempt. As for property prices, you’ll decide. However, the core villa district must not be sold lightly.

The apartment complex halfway up the mountain can be sold, and some housing can be built at the base as well.”

Song Ziqiong nodded, clearly more adept at management.

“Secondly, as always, strength is the foundation. In the days I stay, I’ll take you, Song Ge, Chu Xin, Lu Li, Qin Lingyu, Leng Shuang, and a few trusted followers to sweep through that earlier dungeon, to ensure you possess the strength to defend the settlement.

But once I leave, there’s no room for slacking! I don’t expect you to lead teams yourself or go after that Plague Rat King, but at least be able to slay some mutated giant rats. If you can’t, then just retreat to the entrance before the boss.

Of course, I think it won’t be a problem. In the next few days, I’ll see if you can reach Level 5. Once you do, you can upgrade some gear, especially that Faceless Skin. When the time comes, your strength will soar, and there shouldn’t be any issues!”

Chen Bai stretched, looking at Song Ziqiong, who was lost in thought. He chuckled:

“Relax, it’s nothing major! Oh, one more thing! What are the Evolver IDs for you, Song Ge, Chu Xin, Lu Li, Qin Lingyu, and Leng Shuang?”

Hearing this, Song Ziqiong blinked and then quickly replied:

“562… Theirs are also long. I didn’t ask. I’ll call them over!”

Chen Bai waved his hand and pulled Song Ziqiong back into his arms, close against her graceful curves.

“No rush! Tonight is soon enough…”

With her level rising, Song Ziqiong grew even more captivating, and her appearance was gradually returning to its former beauty, making her increasingly irresistible to Chen Bai.

However, clearly, Chen Bai had a purpose in asking this.

Two gold coins disappeared, and in their place, a new group was created by Chen Bai!

Simultaneously, Chen Bai entered her Evolver code—a six-digit number—into the group settings.

With so many Evolvers on Blue Star, it was only natural that, except for the pioneers, the codes were getting increasingly long.

At that moment, a notification from the Cosmic Will sounded in Song Ziqiong’s mind!

[ID 562… Evolver, ID 001 Evolver invites you to join the group: “White Emperor Palace”!]

Song Ziqiong blinked in surprise. A group invitation?

She’d noticed the group feature earlier, and wasn’t at all surprised Chen Bai could afford the one gold coin group-creation fee.

But what shocked her was this code!

That code!

001!

What did this mean?

At that moment, Song Ziqiong spun around, looking at Chen Bai, who wore a slight smile. This extraordinarily handsome man, whose presence was undeniable even without his immense power, was a man she might even be tempted to keep as a lover in modern society.

He seemed to carry endless mysteries.

001?

The first Evolver of the Cosmic Will?!

…

The very first transcendent existence in a true sense!

While the first wasn’t always the strongest, it was always unique!

What left Song Ziqiong even more speechless was the name of the group: White Emperor Palace?!

And the ones invited were all of them—these women!?

Did this man really see himself as an emperor!?

Song Ziqiong shot him a look, but after a moment’s thought, she realized it wasn’t so far off.

In just two days, she had already witnessed countless human tragedies.

For a woman in the apocalypse, one either had to be strong or became a kind of hard currency.

In an instant, Song Ziqiong understood her position clearly.

Across the entire Dragon Nation, or even all of Blue Star, there were countless women who would vie for the favor of the mysterious powerhouse featured in that one and only video guide.

Bluntly speaking, being allowed into this special group was a privilege for them.

With this thought, Song Ziqiong arched her eyebrows, her gaze suddenly becoming more expressive. She turned to face Chen Bai, sitting astride his waist as she shifted, murmuring:

“My master is truly remarkable! So, in White Emperor Palace, who do you intend to grant the Phoenix Seal?”

Chen Bai chuckled; this woman’s greatest strength was her keen sense of timing.

Slowly, he cupped her flushed cheek with a smile and said:

“That will depend on your performance!”

Song Ziqiong smiled slightly, then slowly leaned in, her lips brushing his ear as she gave it a gentle nip, and in a whisper only he could hear, murmured,

“In that case… does my master wish to discipline his servant tonight? Or perhaps… we could have Little Ge call you daddy too…”

In an instant, Chen Bai’s breathing quickened ever so slightly.

…

Phoenix Seal -> the empress title, not for mere concubines. The emperor is the dragon.
