“Are you planning to hunt the Soul-Eating Ant King in Star City as your first stop?”
“No.”
Ye Shuangluo shook his head and revealed his plan.
“My first stop is the Northern Territory, to hunt that solitary Wolf King.”
“Why go to the Northern Territory first, you…”
Xiao Chenyu hadn’t finished speaking when she realized Ye Shuangluo’s intention.
The Northern Wolf King, among all calamity-level monsters, is of moderate strength and was the first monster Zhou Boyu shot down.
He wanted to leverage Zhou Boyu’s popularity to draw everyone’s attention to him.
Ye Shuangluo was already a member of the Dawn team, personally brought in by Zhou Boyu.
If he could accomplish Zhou Boyu’s past feats and follow his path, it would be seen as a legacy in others’ eyes.
Countless citizens of Dayan would see him as the second Zhou Boyu.
Of course, the premise is that he can actually accomplish it.
“It seems… you’re determined to claim the ‘Ten Days’ spot.”
Ye Shuangluo neither confirmed nor denied it; he was indeed determined.
“Alright… then I wish you success and a smooth journey.”
Xiao Chenyu’s beautiful eyes fixed on the young man before her, and after a long pause, she said apologetically:
“Sorry, I’m acting as the team leader now, so I might not be able to go with you.”
Ye Shuangluo waved his hand, extended his left hand, and said seriously:
“It’s fine… before I leave, let’s shake hands.”
Xiao Chenyu was momentarily stunned by the request, then her pretty face broke into a teasing smile.
“If you want to get close to me, sister can give you a hug.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the young man grabbed her hand and released it instantly.
The movement was so quick that Xiao Chenyu didn’t even have time to react.
“…You’re really peculiar.”
[Ability Copy Successful]
Xiao Chenyu’s hand was cold, and although their contact lasted less than a second, Ye Shuangluo’s keen senses told him it felt good.
Just a bit too cold… almost like a dead person’s hand.
After copying her ability, Ye Shuangluo was about to leave when she called out to him again.
“Wait, aren’t you going to say goodbye to Huo Ling?”
“No need, you can say goodbye for me.”
Ye Shuangluo waved his hand in farewell.
Xiao Chenyu watched the young man’s back, silent for a long time, as his figure slowly overlapped with another in her memory.

…
Ye Shuangluo tried to adapt to the dizziness caused by spatial teleportation.
As it turned out, even if he initiated the skill himself, the dizziness was unavoidable.
He slowly raised his head, and the snowflakes falling on him and his face were unmistakable signs that he had arrived at the coldest place in the world: the Northern Territory.
Since he was on someone else’s turf, he naturally had to call the local boss to entertain him.
Ye Shuangluo opened the faction channel and proactively messaged “Great Moon Empire Master.”
[Ye Shuangluo: I’m here now, come pick me up.]
[Great Moon Empire Master: Received, my friend, wait a moment, I’ll be right there.]
[Poor Enchanter: @Ye Shuangluo Why did you run off to the Northern Territory?]
Ye Shuangluo closed the faction channel window and quietly waited for the local boss to arrive.
Ten minutes later.
“Woof woof woof”
Accompanied by a series of dog barks, a large white dog, three meters tall, ran toward him.
It’s worth mentioning that this large white dog’s eyes were unique, one was a crescent moon, and the other a full moon.
“Oh, my friend, long time no see.”
A young man in golden armor jumped off the dog’s back, laughing and reaching out to embrace him.
Ye Shuangluo took a slight step back, avoiding the young man’s embrace.
The young man wasn’t offended, still smiling brightly as he said:
“Ye, why did you come to the Northern Territory? Have you finally had enough of this world and decided to join me in dealing with those lowly people?”
Ye Shuangluo naturally knew who the young man referred to as lowly people.
In the young man’s eyes, all players of “Eternal Night” were lowly, and the powerful ones might be upgraded to traitors.
In fact, when they first met in person, the young man’s address for him wasn’t much better.
However, after some friendly exchanges involving slashing and kicking, the young man’s attitude changed instantly, calling him a friend.
The young man’s name was Sarchi, the master of the Moon Empire, a summoning ability user, with primary attributes likely being Intelligence and Charisma.
To be honest, Ye Shuangluo was quite surprised when he first met him.
So, players could appear in an ancient setting world too.
Moreover, Sarchi’s status was very noble, and his online name, “Great Moon Empire Master,” wasn’t an exaggeration; he truly was the master of the Moon Empire.
“No rush, I’m here for something else this time.”
Hearing Ye Shuangluo’s words, a trace of helplessness flashed in Sarchi’s eyes.
He really didn’t want to stay in this world any longer, but he might not be able to handle all the “Eternal Night” players alone.
“So what brings you here? What business requires you to come all the way to the Northern Territory?”
Sarchi asked a probing question, and Ye Shuangluo smiled slightly, directly countering:
“Your spawn point is in the Northern Territory, and you’ve been here for almost two months, right? Have you ever fought the Northern Wolf King?”
Upon hearing this question, Sarchi’s expression became a bit unnatural.
“Uh… I did fight it when I first arrived.
Ahem, it was a draw.”
Hmm, seems like he got beaten pretty badly.
Ye Shuangluo recalled the various abilities Sarchi displayed during their battles.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the Northern Wolf King was Sarchi’s nemesis, able to defeat him even with its eyes closed.
Ye Shuangluo didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, “Where is it now?”
“Huh?”
Sarchi immediately reacted to the question, looking at Ye Shuangluo in disbelief.
“You want to challenge it?”
“Yes.”
Ye Shuangluo took out his phone, turned on the live streaming function, and tossed it to Sarchi.
“When I’m fighting, please hold the phone and stream for me. Now, take me to find it.”
Sarchi looked at him with an incredulous expression. Although they hadn’t interacted much, Ye Shuangluo didn’t seem like someone who was vain and liked to show off.
What’s the point of killing that beast? It doesn’t even drop a treasure chest.
Sarchi couldn’t understand, but seeing Ye Shuangluo’s serious demeanor, he suddenly became interested too.
Perhaps he could enjoy a thrilling hunting show from the VIP spectator seat.
“Happy to serve you, my friend.”
He performed an impeccably elegant gentleman’s bow.
