After chit chatting with Mylene for a while, Yaeger ended the call with a disappointed face. After reaching the Grandmaster Realm, she wanted to test her strength on someone and also take revenge.
Yet, Old Man Tian was currently addicted to playing video games and wasn't available.
"Consider yourself lucky. But still, I'll have to settle the score sooner or later."
Tossing the phone on her bed, Yaeger showered in the washroom.
Although her body would remain clean and tidy without showering since she had the Celestial Bloodline, it was still a habitual thing for her.
Moreover, Yaeger personally enjoyed taking baths. Both her body and soul would be relaxed when she was bathing.
Whoosh whoosh!
The cold liquid rained from above and soon wetted her body. Yaeger didn't clean herself with shampoo and body wash. The purification ability within her own body was much more effective than these products.
Rinsing her body with water was nothing but a ritualistic habit. Then, she dried herself with a towel and eliminated all moisture on her skin with her aura.
"It's been a long day." Yaeger stared at the ceiling while laying on the bed and sighed."But the rewards are worthwhile. Compared to reaching Level 30, the greatest reward for the day was the fact that I became closer with Lili."
She slowly extended her hand and grabbed a fistful of air, as if she had actually grabbed something.
"Now that I think about it, I'm quite similar to Lili. We're both orphans, both alone and isolated. Perhaps that's why we're attracted to each other? No. If I didn't know Alicia beforehand, Lili would've never known me. In that case, it would be so much more difficult to conquer her."
Yaeger smiled calmly as she withdrew her hand. "Luckily, I've unlocked the Alicia route. Since these sworn sisters are my allies now, I'll have no enemies within the Jade Empire if Alicia manages to usurp the throne…"
At this point, Yaeger's eyes grew wider.
"Oh no. Now I remember, Jade Empire will be swept up in the nationwide plague and suffer heavy losses a month later!"
If she claimed the throne, Jade Empire would become Alicia's dominion, and Yaeger would be granted the title of Marquis at the very least. By then, the Empire's fate would be closely tied to their own!
"When the plague breaks out, all players will receive relevant investigation quests. Once they complete these quests, the dungeon, [Rise of The Undead], would appear."
Yaeger's expression became solemn. The appearance of this dungeon would cause significant damage to the Jade Empire.
At the same time, a brand-new Occupation would emerge. The [Necromancer]. A powerful occupation that could manipulate souls and use the power of death.
"The dungeon, [Rise of The Undead], Is very weird. If possible, I'd like to destroy it before it ever becomes a problem." In her previous life, not a single person had conquered [Rise of The Undead] until the moment she died.
This was an unwinnable dungeon!
Moreover, all the players who entered the final boss battle inside that dungeon had lost all their memories.
"Soon, the pandemic will spread across the eastern continent and cause immense damage. The army of the dead will rise by then. To all other living beings of the continent, this is utter pandemonium."
Just like the demons, the undead were very dangerous and invasive.
"There's still quite some time left before the pandemic starts. Let's leave it be for now. As long as everything goes smoothly on Alicia's side, we can utilize all assets of the Empire to find the source of the plague and eliminate it."
Her intuition told her that this plague was most likely man-made.
Because the plague's initial outbreak location and transmission routes could all be tracked.
"Who's going through all the effort for this?" Yaeger slowly closed her eyes as she spoke to no one else.
She had just realized that the Jade Empire had deeper and more troublesome problems than she expected.
The plague was only one of them. Aside from that, there were 2 other major problems: The Beastmen and Seafolk.
When it came to the Beastmen, the Ironhoof Tribe occasionally started invasions. They were unimportant for now, but in the future… In a nutshell, they were a timebomb waiting to explode.
Meanwhile, when it came to the Seafolk, Yaeger could sense a conspiracy brewing after using the [Sea Deity's Gift]. After scrutinizing the story of the crawfish repaying its debts, she discovered lots of problems.
First of all, the crawfish was supposed to be the sea deity's illegitimate son. It should be strong, no? How could it be washed ashore and roasted by the sun, then rescued by Marco's kindhearted great-grandfather?
Any ordinary person who saw such a large crawfish would think whether they should steam it or fry it with chili and salt, not rescuing it. Was he an idiot?
Besides, Marco's great-grandfather was a fisherman. Someone who made a living by catching seafood!
"If I was the one who met a crawfish who could speak, I'll kill it the first opportunity I get." Yaeger spoke calmly.
Any ordinary person would run or fight if they met a creature like that. It was unfeasible for someone to think about helping it unless they were utterly stupid or utterly naïve.
The story about Marco's great-grandfather meeting the crawfish was just weird. And the [Sea Deity's Gift] only made her suspicions worse.
"If the crawfish really wants to repay its debts, why would it give Marco's great-grandfather such a harmful gift?"
Whoever used the horn would be invaded by a gust of strange energy, having their bodies transformed slowly. Indeed. This was human experimentation. An experiment conducted by the Seafolk. While Marco's family was the victim.
"The feud between Seafolk and humans had lasted for thousands of years. Both races are mortal enemies by now. It's normal for such a thing to happen."
The fundamental cause of the struggle between these 2 races was space.
One desired dryland, the other desired the ocean. They would resort to blows since none conceded.
The feud between the Jade Empire and Leviathan's Empire back then was the classic example. In the end, Jade Empire won the fight, and the Seafolk were exiled back into the ocean.
However, the struggle between these 2 races had not subsided. Instead, it only grew worse.
"All foreigners must be purged. Ancient wisdom is always correct. Both the Beastmen and Seafolk are up to no good anyway. Not only that, the Sky Empire is always breathing down our necks also. No wonder Alicia is so dissatisfied with Richard. This situation… We're practically surrounded on all sides."
It would be fine if Richard was an overpowered main character, who could use his plot armor to subjugate all foreigners and dominate all neighboring nations.
Unfortunately, he wasn't.
"Alicia will absolutely fail if she tries to seize the throne all by herself. But with my help, she has at least a 90% chance of success. As long as nothing out of the ordinary happens. However, I really have no idea what might happen in the future."
She wasn't even sure if Alicia could break her curse and regain her strength in the underground maze. But still, she was already planning ahead for the future.
"I'm betting on the future of my c*ck. I mustn't lose."
Yaeger opened her grim eyes. If anyone tried to ruin her lifelong happiness, she'd do whatever it took to give them the most painful death possible!
Beep Beep!
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Beep Beep!
More than one phone.
Yaeger's lips twitched as she looked at notifications on both her Huawhey phone and BigMi phone.
‘Don't you guys need to sleep?'
Yes. Those beauties were attempting to chat with her (him) again.
Once again, Yaeger put on two different personas and chatted with them like someone with a split personality disorder.
