Chapter 1166: Outdated Online Celebrity Ironbull
G.o.d of Devils Fortress… Anyway, he had to go so it was not impossible to bring Shroom Devil King along.
Although w.a.n.g Yu still did not know what the situation in the G.o.d of Devils Fortress was like, whether there were many monsters. However, these did not matter. At most he would throw Shroom Devil King out. Anyway, he did not receive any favours from her and helping her was out of goodwill. If he did not help her, it was his choice.
“Let’s go!”
Opening the big map and reconfirming the coordinates, w.a.n.g Yu brought Shroom Devil King in the direction of the G.o.d of Devils Fortress, wanting to start heading there.
However, Shroom Devil King yelled from the back, “Where are you going?”
“Rubbish” w.a.n.g Yu pointed in the direction of the G.o.d of Devils battleground, “Of course to G.o.d of Devils Fortress.”
“…”
Shroom Devil King paused in shock for a while then said, “That’s the G.o.d of Devils battleground.”
“I know,” w.a.n.g Yu said, “Isn’t the G.o.d of Devils Fortress at the end of it?”
“F*ck, there are so many monsters there. You’ll take forever to reach.”
Shroom Devil King turned her body and suddenly felt like she had entrusted her quest to the wrong person.
The G.o.d of Devils battleground was the confrontation battleground of the Light and Darkness factions. There were not only a lot of monsters, but these monsters also were in human form and very tough to shake off. The high-level monsters inside were even more powerful.
Not only foreigners did not know what was going on there, even locals of Sin City roamed only on the outside without daring to earn any achievements inside the battleground.
w.a.n.g Yu actually wanted to bring Shroom Devil King into the G.o.d of Devils battleground. She found it unbelievable this guy had not died and was doing so well in the game. Was daringness related to abilities?
“Then how should we go there?” Hearing what Shroom Devil King said, w.a.n.g Yu questioned her instead.
In the game, whoever was stronger, that person was right. Since Shroom Devil King questioned his route, she had to have a better idea.
Indeed, seeing how w.a.n.g Yu asked her, Shroom Devil chuckled and said proudly, “You’ve asked the right person. In the last round, the NPC told me a shortcut. If it wasn’t for the G.o.d of Devils Fortress’ reputation, I would have gone long ago.”
“Shortcut? There are shortcuts in the game?”
w.a.n.g Yu was puzzled. The cold weapon era had long pa.s.sed and modern people knew very little about the war during that era. However, after hanging out with Fearless for so long, w.a.n.g Yu learnt a bit.
Battlegrounds for such big battles were generally empty mines so how could there be shortcuts.
“Yup, come with me!”
As she spoke, Shroom Devil King went her way in the other direction. w.a.n.g Yu hesitated for a bit then followed.
The two of them walked for a short while and came to the outside of a very remote corner of the G.o.d of Devils battleground and found a small road.
The small road was around two metres wide, looking unremarkable compared to the huge battleground.
On both sides of the road were one-metre tall pillars aligned in a row. Those pillars looked weird but to w.a.n.g Yu, they were not unfamiliar. They were the magical stone pillars on every main city’s magic tower.
At the entrance, there was a stone erected there with two words, ‘Supply Route’.
Seeing the words on the stone, w.a.n.g Yu was enlightened.
Fighting during the cold weapon era was a compet.i.tion between troop resources and food supply. The G.o.d of Devils Fortress was situated at the deepest end of Sin City so naturally, they had to pa.s.s by the battleground.
It seemed like this supply route was specially created with a magic formation by the Light Faction Magicians to ensure troop resources and food supply could reach them during the war.
d.a.m.n it, these magic stone pillars were expensive to make and each main city only had a few dozen but now, they were used to sustain a supply route’s barrier. War was indeed resource-intensive.
w.a.n.g Yu tried to enter the supply route but once he went close, he was bounced back by a magical strength.
“Haha!” Shroom Devil King saw how pathetic w.a.n.g Yu looked and laughed out, “You can’t enter without a key.”
Just then, Shroom Devil King took out two green gemstones and installed them onto the two magic pillars at the entrance.
The two magic pillars emitted luxurious light and all the magic pillars were activated at the same time. Soon, a rippling swirl appeared at the entrance of the supply route.
Shroom Devil King leaped into it and appeared on the supply route the next second.
“Interesting.”
w.a.n.g Yu interestedly rubbed his chin then jumped in too.
After entering the supply route, w.a.n.g Yu puzzledly asked Shroom Devil King, “Why do you have the keys?”
“Got it from a running quest…” Shroom Devil King casually replied.
“Heh.” w.a.n.g Yu smiled in surprise, “You are not completely useless after all.”
“…”
Shroom Devil King was speechless as, after all, she had the ident.i.ty of an expert but to w.a.n.g Yu, she was just a useless human wasting time. TNND.
After entering the supply route, everything was a lot simpler.
With the help of a magic barrier, the countless monsters from the G.o.d of Devils battleground could not come close to the two of them. The two of them only spent twenty minutes travelling from the battleground to the fortress, saving a lot of time.
However, just then, Sin City’s reward noticeboard and mercenary hall suddenly had a new quest.
The quest content was simple.
Kill the player, Iron Bull. One thousand gold coins for every kill.
Note: He is dressed in top-tier equipment and is extremely dangerous. Please be careful.

As everyone knew, Sin City was a cla.s.sic example of angry civilians bred in poverty. Without almost a hundred enemies, players did not even have a social standing.
With animosity, it was natural to have tasks to help others settle their feud.
Hence, Sin City’s reward noticeboard and mercenary hall have countless new tasks every day.
Once the notification to kill Iron Bull was out, it instantly got the attention of everyone.
Iron Bull was a quite well-known name in <>. A month ago, he was known even in rural areas like Sin City.
However, fame came and went fast in the game. Quan Zhen Sect did not have any movement for more than a month so Iron Bull’s name went from well known to heard of.
However, such heard of names which was not too popular was perfect.
After all, if the target’s name is too known, normal players would consider their abilities but if the person was unknown, players would question the reliability of the notice.
Everyone wanted to complete these quests for the dropped equipment, not for the few gold coins, obviously.
Legends always had some room of exaggeration. For those who have not witnessed w.a.n.g Yu’s abilities, they would never believe a player can take on ten thousand opponents.
Hence, to players in Sin City, w.a.n.g Yu was just a normal expert player who they have heard of. No matter how good the rumours claimed him to be, he was at most just a good player, nowhere near the professional G.o.ds.
Such once-popular regular expert who faded away mostly had some top-tier equipment and because of something, they were well known for a while but as for their abilities… It was just there.
Everyone was in a small group so naturally, they were not afraid of an outdated online celebrity.
