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 apartment. 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 something 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 became a wasteland.contemporary romance

However, in this life… he might be able to do something about this. Of course, he did not intend to be a hero so whatever he did would come at a cost.

He was the one who was giving the pain at the moment, but he also had the medicine for the same 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 time 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 someone comment that beautiful women flock together, so he was pretty sure that this was someone related to the two of them.

"Hello." Liam bowed to welcome the person, who immediately 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 game 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 arrangements."

Liam nodded. "I am glad to know that you arrived here safely. If there is anything that you need, anything at all, let me 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 me 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 game." Lily smiled and quickly explained the beast siege event.

Liam nodded respectfully. He could see that the woman in front of him looked extremely 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. Something like this was completely unheard of in his last lifetime. So why the hell was this event happening now?

Had he changed the timeline 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 lifetime, 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 replacement event? Something 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 moment.

After listening to Lily, Liam then asked her to log back into the game and ask Alex to immediately log out and meet with him. This was something 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 something very important to talk to you."

Liam smiled bitterly. "Before that, I have something 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 time for implementing this."

"Ok, I will do my best." She nodded.

As usual, while everyone else was playing one game, Liam seemed to be playing a completely different game. 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.
