Chapter 1651: Chapter 1652 Visit Chapter 1651: Chapter 1652 Visit In the real world, Song Jian suddenly appeared, looking at the thin layer of dust on the table, his eyes showing a trace of bewilderment.
“Was I, kicked out of the game?” Song Jian murmured to himself. He tried to sense the Tree of Life in the fragmented universe, which had become extremely vague, as if there was a barrier between them, making it impossible for him to teleport there anymore.
However, the Tree of Life in the real world had become much clearer. With a thought, Song Jian arrived under the Tree of Life deep in the ocean.
At this moment, the Tree of Life had hidden itself into the void, undetectable by ordinary people. But since Earth was the original place where it had taken root, the aura generated by the tree during its growth continually transformed the Earth, slowly turning it from a place with scarce spiritual energy into one brimming with it.
Song Jian could sense that many extraordinary creatures had emerged in the deep sea, their strength comparable to the level 20 and 30 elite BOSSes in the game world. Such strength was still within the capabilities of modern weaponry for an ordinary person, but if these creatures were left to grow and reached second or third-tier strength, the effectiveness of conventional weapons would diminish greatly. Should these creatures break through to the Legendary Realm, even nuclear bombs might struggle to kill them. By then, the real world might become just like the game world.
“I really don't know if planting the Tree of Life here was right or wrong!” Song Jian sighed.
Planting the Tree of Life was undoubtedly a dream come true for Earth, but not necessarily for humanity. It was like giving all creatures on Earth a chance to reshuffle their standings, allowing other species the opportunity to replace humans as the masters of the planet.
Nevertheless, Song Jian believed that even with another chance, the likelihood of other Earth creatures becoming the masters was very slim, especially since there were tens of thousands of players in the real world. Most of them had already entered the third-tier combat power stage. Even without their equipment bonuses, these players had the strength to crush ordinary level 20 and 30 elite BOSSes, not to mention there were dozens of elite players who had already peaked at third-tier combat power and entered the Legendary Realm. To ordinary people in the real world, their existence was akin to that of gods.
“If those in the Legendary Realm are gods, then what am I? A God King?” Song Jian revealed a hint of a smile.
At this time, there was nothing in the real world that could threaten Song Jian, not even nuclear bombs. Even at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion, it was unlikely to kill him; at most, he would be severely wounded. But even in the epicenter, he could sense a bomb's approach and definitely leave the blast area before it arrived, not to mention that Song Jian also had access to the Shattered Divine Realm and the Enemy of Death God skill. The idea of killing him in the real world was simply impossible.
By now, Song Jian's mentality had entirely changed to one without fear, and he no longer felt the need to leave Huaxia to avoid potential dangers, as he had in the past.
Taking advantage of the game update, Song Jian returned to Huaxia, back to the villa he had purchased.
“I thought I had to give up this place, but to my surprise, I've come back!” Song Jian chuckled as he looked at the villa he had lived in for less than a month before being forced to leave.
The villa was not yet fit for living; it needed a thorough cleaning. Song Jian contacted the community's domestic service and then chose to stay at a five-star hotel in Coastal City.
After completing the check-in procedures, Song Jian took a shower, ordered dinner, and soon after, the service staff wheeled the trolley into the room.
Looking at the brightly lit city through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Song Jian couldn't help but feel emotional. It had been so long since he had enjoyed such a peaceful and comfortable life.
As Song Jian was reflecting to himself, he suddenly sensed two game players walking down the corridor towards his room. They were clearly heading for his room, and one of them had the strength of the early stages of the Legendary Realm.
“Interesting. There are only a few dozen players in the entire game world who are at the Legendary Realm. I didn't expect to find one in the small city of Coastal City within Huaxia…” Song Jian chuckled.
Considering that Coastal City was only a third or fourth-tier city in Huaxia, if it was a major city like Beijing or Shanghai, Song Jian wouldn't find it strange to encounter a few Legendary Realm players. But to meet a Legendary Realm player in a smaller city like Coastal City was as rare as winning a five million-dollar lottery.
Ding dong~
The two people arrived at the door and rang the bell respectfully, then stood outside, waiting quietly.
Moments later, the door opened automatically, and the two walked in to see Song Jian sitting on the sofa, drinking tea. He did not show any sign of surprise at their entrance.
“Gentlemen, what brings you here?” Song Jian asked with a smile.
“City Lord Song, my name is Jia Guodong. I am here on behalf of the National Security Office to discuss a potential cooperation with you!” The middle-aged man at the Legendary Realm said with a smile plastered across his face.
“You, have been waiting for me in Linhai City, haven't you?” Song Jian seemed to realize something and suddenly asked.
Jia Guodong was taken aback, then chuckled, “Yes, City Lord Song. We have been wanting to contact you, but you have been elusive and impossible to reach. We didn't expect that once the game updated, you'd return to Coastal City, so naturally, we had to pay you a visit.”
Song Jian nodded, no wonder he had seen a Legendary Realm powerhouse in Coastal City. It turned out that this person had been waiting here for him.
“What kind of cooperation do you have in mind?” Song Jian asked with a smile, “Although I am the lord of a city in the game world, I don't usually get involved in affairs. If it's about cooperation with the City of Hope, I suggest you look for Wang Qi… with your means, you should be able to find him in the real world quite easily, right?”
Jia Guodong's face showed an awkward smile as he quickly said, “That's not it at all, we highly respect the privacy of game players… Although Wang Qi is the Vice City Lord, there are many things that he wouldn't dare to decide on without your say-so, City Lord!”
Jia Guodong certainly knew that even if Song Jian was only in the City of Hope for a day or two each month, as long as he had the City Lord seal, he was the one calling the shots. Even if all the City of Hope's administrators were to resign one day, Song Jian could fill all managerial positions with NPCs within a day. As for the City Lord Mansion's funds, without the City Lord seal, not even Wang Qi had the authority to use ten thousand Doomsday Coins. Essentially, any matter within the City of Hope was dictated by Song Jian; as long as he spoke, there would be no opposition.
