Liu Ye stared at the message she sent and decided to bluff her. 

[Grind God: Are you a candidate?]

The way she spoke signaled as if she knew they would meet again and it didn't sound like she meant the game. If she didn't know anything, he could just brush off the question but if she was like Xu Yue, then…

[Your Princess: Whoa, you are one too? I knew it. A player with your skills was bound to have a high chance to awaken. I guess we will really meet in real life soon. Can't wait to get to know you better.]

She admitted to it without hesitation, giving Liu Ye a lot to think about. Both Xu Yue and her mentioned awakening as if it was supposed to happen in real life. He couldn't imagine how that would make any sense. 

Liu Ye imagined carrying his abilities over to real life and felt overwhelmed. If such power fell into bad hands, it could easily cause chaos everywhere. Killing people would be as easy as lifting a finger. As much as Liu Ye wanted to have such power, the world wasn't ready for such change. 

[Your Princess: Anyway, we both know it's a secret, so let's not talk about it. Happy Grinding~] 

She ended the conversation before he could question her more but no matter what happens, Liu Ye couldn't do much to stop it. He could only follow his route and react to whatever happens. Maybe the person who Katherine sent would be able to answer his questions. 

[Grind God: Good luck.] 

He was about to close the window when he recalled his sister was also within the game. His only problem: he forgot to ask for her in-game name. 

[Grind God: Have you heard from Zhenzhen?]

Just as he messaged Xu Yue, she sent him an invitation for the call. He accepted it and immediately heard her jealous voice in his mind. 

'Bish, I was waiting for you to call me this whole time! Tell me how you got such a low time in the Dungeon. I was happy that we managed to boost ourselves to the top 3 but then you jumped to the top 1, pushing us down. Not only did you solo the Dungeon again, but you also did it in under 10 minutes. I want to both kiss and punch you.' 

"It's professional secrecy. I will maybe tell you later if you are a good girl," Liu Ye replied calmly while opening the rankings out of curiosity. He didn't even have time to check what was his time. 

[Bandit Leader Dungeon] 

[1. Grind God - 00:09:01 - Solo] 

[2. Black Widow's Party - 00:15:35 - 20 Players] 

[3. Blood Devil's Party - 00:15:42 - 20 Players] 

Liu Ye couldn't help but chuckle at the difference, causing Xu Yue to be even saltier. 

'Tsk, laugh, laugh. Just wait for the morning. I will climb on you before you wake up and milk all your secrets away,' Xu Yue threatened but he ignored her threats, knowing he closed the door to his room. 

"What about Zhenzhen?" Liu Ye questioned while checking his notification. 

It turned out he only received experience and gold for the second solo kill. It still filled his experience bar to half so he couldn't be happier. 

'She is fine. I'm talking with her the whole time whenever she has questions. If you want to text her then she told me not to give you her contact. She doesn't want to disturb you,' Xu Yue informed. 'She will add you once she gets to the Mainland but it will take her a while.' 

That was honestly so Zhenzhen-like that Liu Ye wasn't surprised. Knowing she was fine, he didn't hang the call and just entered the Lord's mansion. Marco was indeed waiting for him in the lobby with his outfit changed. 

"Grind God, you came!" Marco called out while greeting him with a hug. "Let's go. There is no time to waste." 

Liu Ye nodded while thinking of going back to the entrance but Marco was walking away from him towards the basement. 

"Wait, where are we going? Shouldn't we go out?" Liu Ye questioned confused but Marco only smirked. 

"The Teleportation Station outside is for the normal folks and its power is limited. It will send you to the Mainland but you won't know where you land. We need to use the Lord's personal Teleportation Station to reach the Emerald City," Marco explained as he led him to a stone platform one floor below the lobby. "This one is much more precise and we will land directly in the city. The only disadvantage is that it can send people out but can't receive anyone. I will have to return back by land."

'Babe, who are you talking to?' Xu Yue questioned confused. 

"I am talking to the NPC. I am going to enter the Mainland soon…" Liu Ye whispered to Xu Yue as Marco activated the Teleportation Station. "Where did you land?"

The platform lit up with shiny runes and Marco beckoned him over. "Get inside and wait. It will activate soon."

'Yeah, I was about to tell you that. The teleport seems to be sending everyone randomly across the four lands. My whole team got scattered throughout the Mainland so it will be a while before we can group up again,' Xu Yue reported, unaware of his actions. 'I personally landed in the Water Land. I am heading towards the closest town to deposit my items.'

Liu Ye's surroundings turned into rotating pixels and within seconds, he appeared in a new location. The platform was similar to the one at Lord's mansion but the whole space was bursting with people. 

"What about the Emerald City?" Liu Ye asked while looking around the place. 

'Huh? Does the city name matter? Did you already reach the mainland?' Xu Yue asked back confused, causing Liu Ye to scratch his head. 

"Xu Yue, it seems like it will be a while before we can see each other in the game..." Liu Ye muttered while noticing the NPC levels, getting more shocked with each following guard.

There wasn't an NPC with a lower level than 50!
