without sharing a drink would lack a
certain atmosphere as he spoke he poured
water for everyone do you want smacked
his lips true there is an atmosphere but
it lacks flavor Jang ching chuckled old
DE are you craving some wheat juice Dean
retorted cough cough it's just that the
troops prohibit alcohol I haven't had a
drink in years I must admit I'm quite
tempted xiangqing Yin replied why not
drink in reality no one is stopping you
that the you on countered that s
different drinking alone is rather dull
it lacks excitement the affluent player
chined hour and tapped the table you
know I might just be able to arrange for
you to enjoy some wheat juicing game a
few days ago I encountered some folks
planning to brew fruit wine and I
decided to fund them once they produce
it they'll send us a batch fly burst
into laughter haven't you learned your
lesson those two who claimed they were
researching gunpowder have already taken
the money and fled Chand Darin scoffed
please it's a trivial amount I'm not the
type to be scared off by a single snake
bite letun broaden our Horizons shall we
my investment is aimed at fostering the
game's development enriching the game
World fly nodded in agreement as they
exchanged banter Fong remained silent
deep in thought regarding the riddle why
ichio on the other hand was
enthusiastically showcasing the food
they had purchased from roadside stalls
they had been busy with battles daily
leaving little time to prepare their own
meals and the food they bought was often
tastier than what they could make
themselves why exert effort cooking when
they could simply buy delicious food
moreover the prices were reasonable and
they were not short on copper coins now
aside from the non-combatant affluent
players and brother Gulu the rest had
all advanced to the rank of bronze
adventurers Fong Z's reputation had
already soared to over 1300 and he
possessed well over 10,000 copper coins
had circumstances allowed they would
have considered forging some bronze
Swords by now after a moment Fong Z
voiced his lingering question have any
of you pondered the riddle do you want
shook his head don't look to me for
answers I can't figure it out fly open
the map since we discovered the map at
the Eastern mine our system panel has
been illuminated I believe it refers to
a specific location There are 16 mines
in total along with an Armory we've
explored three mines so far and I
suspect the key to solving the riddle
lies within the remaining mines Fang
nodded that certainly seems plausible
what do you think old Jang Jang Ching
Yin reflected on our way back we
deliberately examined the statue and we
also noticed the accompanying tail the
story mentioned three creatures the
giant wolf the giant Serpent and the
giant bird clearly corresponding to the
wolf Serpent and owl in the riddle when
describing the wolf the taale noted its
size was akin to that of the 16 Peaks
which precisely aligns with the 16 peaks
in the first layer thus I believe the
riddle solution is connected to these
Peaks Fong had considered this as well
yet he still lacked a clear Direction
perhaps iio would offer Insight iio was
a rather enigmatic figure and Fong Z
felt he could not fully grasp him
however judging by his performance today
it was evident that his understanding of
the game was far from that of a novice
shujian do you have any thoughts chapter
32 the unexpected arrival of the police
Yo's ID was Bui Sheran he had not
disclosed his true name to the others it
was not due to mistrust toward Fong Z
and the others but rather because the
current period was inappropriate for
revealing his true identity why ichio
wiped the grease from the corner of his
mouth on the way back I have been
contemplating the riddle and I believe
old jang's line of thought is correct
the first layer features 16 Peaks and in
