Meanwhile, on the other side,
Two seconds after Ling Yi killed all the monsters, the two rescue teams received a notification.
[Congratulations on successfully annihilating all the monsters! You can choose to stay in this world until the rescue time runs out, or you can choose to return immediately.]
[Do you want to return immediately?]
"Huh?!"
"We're done… Well, with that guy around, this is normal."
Although the members of the two teams were a little surprised, they were not astonished and chose 'no'.
At the same time, Ling Yi's figure flashed back to their side.
"How was it? How strong are the monsters?" Nangong Li asked curiously.
"Very ordinary. The strongest one is a 25-level monster leader. You can easily deal with it." Ling Yi spread his hands.
"Mm… After all, it's the lowest difficulty."
Although Ling Yi made it sound as if Nangong Li was a weakling, the latter didn't mind.
She glanced at the crowd around her and was about to go forward to ask for relevant information, but some of the Han Haixing people took the initiative to come approach them.
Then out of the crowd, a middle-aged man in a formal suit, with a gentle face and full of spirit, came forward.
"Hello, otherworld powerhouses. I'm the person in charge of matters related to otherworld players here on the Han Hai. My name is Gu Yuanye, but you can call me Xiao Ye." The man politely introduced himself to the two teams.
"If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We will tell you everything we know."
Hearing this, Meng Lin stepped forward and said with a friendly smile, "That's great. Xiao Ye, we would like to know the situation in your realm and the information you have on the other world."
"Then please follow me," Gu Yuanye said with a polite smile. "When the players from other worlds come, they have the same questions as you. We've already sorted them out."
As he spoke, he invited them into his living room.
While Lin Meng and the others were having friendly conversations with them, Ling Yi strolled around the well-lit room.
The hall was filled with images of players fighting against monsters. Each image was accompanied by a short description written underneath.
[Picture: a white-haired, brown-skinned man is standing on the head of a dying giant ape with his arms crossed.]
[Description: Noontime, February 6th of the Han Hai calendar. The Taiyi realm's expert, Cami, easily defeated the level 75 leader, the Giant Mountain-Moving Ape. He told us, "it's not a big deal to defeat the leader of the monsters. It's only amazing if you can defeat a Beast King."]
[Picture: Two tall, cold-looking men stood on the roof, looking down at the crowd that was running away in panic while being chased by monsters.]
[Description: On the afternoon of February 15th of the Han Hai calendar, the monsters invaded again. Two Tianyan realm powerhouses appeared from above. At that time, no one expected that in less than five seconds, all monsters would be killed by these two people! Their powerful strength has won the admiration of everyone present.]
[Picture: A blonde woman in a white robe is casting healing holy light on the injured person at her feet. There are also injured people all over the ground around her.]
[Description: At noon on February 18th of the Han Hai calendar, the city was invaded by monsters, which caused a large number of casualties. Priests from the Cangyu realm are treating the people who were attacked.]
[…]
While Ling Yi continued to browse through the pictures, Nangong Li saw that Lin Meng was almost done with his questions and said, "Then, Mr. Gu, may I ask, do you know what level of strength the powerhouses from other realms are at?"
This was not only a question that Nangong Li was concerned about but also a question that everyone on earth was concerned about.
"I already said, just call me Xiao Ye."
Gu Yuanye smiled politely, but his expression gradually became serious.
He discreetly swept his gaze across the other people in the living room, his gaze stopping on Ling Yi for a moment.
He immediately lowered his head and muttered to himself as if he had something he couldn't say.
Lin Meng and Nangong Li looked at each other, and the former laughed, "Haha, Xiao Ye, if you have any worries, just tell us. We'll be leaving in a while anyway."
Everyone's mouth twitched when they heard that. What was he saying?
After a few minutes of interaction, Gu Yuanye roughly understood this man's temperament. He didn't pay attention to his words but continued to touch his chin and said hesitantly, "Mm… To be honest, we do know a little bit about the otherworldly experts."
"But we don't know their intentions, so we don't dare to disclose their information. Please forgive me."
"Oh, it's fine, it's fine."
Meng Lin waved his hands and laughed. "Haha, we've been rude."
Most of earth's players were in the middle of the living room.
Gu Yuanye and a few Han Haixing people sat on the north side of the living room, while the guests sat on the south side — there were three sofas there. and Nangong Li and Lin Meng were sitting on both ends of the cushion seat.
Ling Yi turned around and saw that the sofa in the middle was empty. He guessed that the two of them had given it to him on purpose.
He lifted his feet and teleported to the sofa.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on him.
Among them, Gu Yuanye also specially observed Lin Meng and Nangong Li's expressions— he learned of their names as he listened to the foreigner's conversations.
Seeing the two's respectful and friendly attitude towards the youth, he silently made a guess to himself, 'Looks like this young man is the leader of these two teams… He might even be the strongest person in the earth realm…'
Thinking of the unique entrance that he had never seen before, even Gu Yuanye, who had seen many powerhouses from many realms, couldn't help but feel nervous.
The young man in front of him had something that other strong people didn't have…
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Gu Yuanye stood up with a smile on his face. He extended his hand to Ling Yi, "Hello, I'm…"
"I know," Ling Yi interrupted with a wave of his hand.
Gu Yuanye retracted his hand very naturally and sat down again. Seeing the young man's calm expression, he gradually became nervous.
"To be honest, even if you don't tell us any information about those otherworldly players, we can still get the information you know."
Ling Yi replied simply. Seeing the other party's expression change, he continued, "But of course, we won't do that."
...
"That's right, that's right. You all have extraordinary powers, so it would be easy to extract information from us." Gu Yuanye immediately agreed.
"I was just looking around, but I noticed there's something a little odd. I'd like to ask, has there never been a Beast King on your planet?"
It was no exaggeration to say that the combat power of the other world was the most important piece of information on this trip. Even if they only had the combat level of one of the other worlds, it would be enough for the people of the earth to analyze.
Ling Yi planned to use the Beast Kings to compare their combat strength indirectly.
Gu Yuanye's eyes widened slightly when he heard that as if he had recalled some unforgettable memories.
After a while, he shook his head and sighed. "There was…. There was one."
"Then why aren't there any photos or descriptions?"
"The players deleted it from the other world."
"Oh? What's the level of the Beast King?"
Gu Yuanye also realized Ling Yi's intention, but he couldn't do anything about it, "I'm just an ordinary person. They didn't tell me, so how would I know what level that Beast King was?"
"I only remember that on that day, a total of fifty teams came from all realms, one after another. They went to fight against the demonic army led by the Beast King. The two sides fought until the world went dark, and many people around them were killed."
...
"Many teams were still in the middle of a battle, but they were forced to return because the rescue time had ended. After half an hour of continuous fighting, the army of 100,000 monsters, 20 leader monsters, and one Beast King were all annihilated."
