Chapter 339: Meet Again With Ritchie – Perform, Don’t Sell Yourself

?

Is the Gods' Game reconnecting with Earth again?

John furrowed his brow, his expression grave. He suspected this was related to the sudden reconnection of the Gods' Game to the Eight Lord God Star Domains.

He couldn't help but feel uneasy. He feared Earth might also be one of the targets for destruction by the Creator God.

Godslayer: "Where are you? I'll come find you."

The situation on Shadow Star was becoming increasingly complicated, and John was worried that Ritchie might be in danger.

Soon, Ritchie sent over coordinates.

John looked at Sini beside him and spoke, "Let's go, I'll take you out."

"Old man, I want to go too!" Tracy quickly approached, her eyes full of expectation.

John sighed and reluctantly led the two women out of World-in-Hand.

The group appeared at the outer perimeter of the main city, number 101.

At this moment, the main city had once again fallen under the control of the Shadow Clan's powerful members. A large number of Shadow Clan elites had gathered, and the sky was filled with sparkling stardust, covering the entire Shadow Star.

This was part of the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star, a network of 108 main cities that covered the entire Shadow Star.

"Such powerful Star Dust energy!" Tracy exclaimed, staring up at the starry sky, excited. The Star Dust energy was something she could absorb and refine directly.

But John's brow remained furrowed. The massive formation was already activated, locking down all of Shadow Star. They could not enter or leave freely.

Fortunately, the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star had not yet launched an attack.

He looked at Tracy and asked, "Can you break this formation?"

He could feel the terrifying power of the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star. Its existence was always a looming threat.

Tracy concentrated for a moment, then shook her head helplessly. "No, this formation is too powerful, and I'm too weak to destroy it."

She glanced toward the main city and continued, "But these main cities are the core of the formation. If we destroy just one of them, the whole formation will collapse on its own."

Both women looked excitedly at the nearby main city, number 101.

"No!" John immediately rejected their idea with a firm tone.

The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star had already been activated. A large number of powerful figures were gathering, and the Shadow Lord God could arrive at any moment. Attacking the main city now would be far too risky.

"Ritchie and the others are coming, let's first bring them over." He changed the subject, using his Split Void talent to open a spatial passage with a wave of his hand.

"Ritchie? Did Earth reconnect with the Gods' Game again?" Both women were surprised, noticing several familiar IDs appear on their friend list.

John and the others passed through the spatial rift and arrived in a desolate city.

This had once been a beginner's village, but now the Shadow Clan's forces had withdrawn, and no one was around to manage it. The village had fallen into complete ruin.

Fortunately, the protective mechanisms of the beginner village were still functioning. The roaming Hunters and powerful spirit beasts dared not enter.

Inside the city, several hundred people had gathered-players from Earth.

"Boss!" Ritchie spotted John and quickly ran up to him.

"Godslayer!" Several familiar faces also stepped forward to greet him.

They were all members of the Flame Legion. Most of them had been fortunate enough to

enter Shadow Star, and they had been assigned to the same beginner's village.

Among the Flame Legion members, John also noticed a familiar figure.

Malina!

"Hmph!" Malina, sensing John's gaze, snorted coldly, her face filled with resentment.

It seemed like she was still upset with him for leaving without a word.

John noticed Sini's knowing look beside him and felt a bit awkward.

Although he had flirted with Malina before, nothing beyond that had happened between them.

And besides, Malina's twenty G-rated videos were still in Sini's hands, and she hadn't given them to him yet.

Clearing his throat awkwardly, John quickly changed the subject. "Ritchie, how is Earth doing now?"

Ritchie spoke up, "When the Gods' Game suddenly shut down, some people were unhappy, and there were a few uprisings, but we easily suppressed them. Now that the Gods' Game has suddenly returned, it caused quite a stir, but everything is under control, and no riots have occurred."

John nodded. He was well aware of Ritchie's strength. Even uniting the entire Earth would be no challenge for him.

"What about Armstrong?" Sini asked. She hadn't seen Armstrong, and his name wasn't on her friend list either.

With the Gods' Game reconnecting, considering his personality, he would definitely have entered the game.

"He's on Nature Star. Don't worry, he's safe. The Nature Clan on that planet is very friendly toward Earth players," Ritchie explained, glancing at John as he spoke.

He suspected this situation might also be related to John.

The sudden reconnection of the Gods' Game to the Eight Lord God Star Domains had been random for everyone involved.

Hearing that Armstrong was safe, the group relaxed.

John spoke up again, "Let's head to my city first and get you all leveled up as quickly as possible."

Ritchie's group wasn't very strong-most of them were at the sixth or seventh tier of power.

With their current strength, they wouldn't even be able to handle the weakest of Shadow Star's Hunters. If it hadn't been for the protection of the abandoned beginner village, they would have been wiped out long ago.

John opened a spatial portal and led everyone through to Purple Sky City.

The sound of angry roars echoed through the air as the massive energy of the formation

surged.

Hunters continued to swarm around Purple Sky City.

Luckily, with the protection of the Blues Family members, the Undying Legion from Skyline Continent, and the city's defensive formation, Purple Sky City remained safe.

Ritchie and the others arrived and curiously looked around, their eyes widening in surprise as they observed the endless swarms of Hunters. They were also shocked by the strength of the others around them.

Ritchie couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for not staying with John. If he had, his own strength would have increased much faster.

"Senior." John spotted Peter and approached him. "Ritchie and the others have just entered Shadow Star. Please arrange for them to level up quickly."

"Has the Gods' Game reconnected with Earth again?" Peter was also surprised. After learning that Armstrong was on Nature Star and safe, he let out a sigh of relief.

Peter knew that Ice Talker was the Overseer of the Nature Clan, a highly respected figure, and

that he and John had a good relationship.

With the protection of the Nature Clan, Armstrong would be fine.

Peter immediately made arrangements, directing Ritchie and the others to the city walls to

help defend against the Hunters.

With the Four Symbols Guardian Formation in place, as long as they stayed within the

formation, they would be safe.

The only real threat would be the Hunters' Brood Mothers.

However, since the monster tide attack had ended, no Brood Mothers had appeared. It seemed

they had also realized the danger here.

"Wow, this level-up speed is incredible!" the group exclaimed excitedly.

Their own strength was still relatively weak, but even killing a demigod-level Hunter could

instantly boost their level by one.

Everyone was motivated now. They took up positions on the city walls and focused all their

efforts on taking down the Hunters.

"Godslayer, I need your help with something," Malina approached John.

Sini and Tracy exchanged a glance and discreetly left.

John felt a bit awkward. He turned to Malina and asked, "What is it? Feel free to say."

"My people from Phoenix City are being enslaved in another beginner village on Shadow Star, forced to mine ores. I hope you can rescue them," Malina looked at John, gritting her teeth, already mentally prepared to accept any humiliating conditions he might impose. "Mining ores? And there are still active beginner villages?"

John was surprised. He had thought that after causing such a stir, most of Shadow Star's

beginner villages would have been wiped out.

He didn't expect that they were now starting to oppress Earth players.

He didn't dare make a move against the main cities, but these beginner villages and ordinary

towns were no challenge at all.

"Do you have the coordinates?" he asked.

"I do." Malina nodded and provided John with several coordinates.

The oppression wasn't just affecting Phoenix City members, but also players from other

factions of Earth.

As fellow Earthlings, John decisively agreed.

"Do you have any special requests?" Malina asked, a bit puzzled. She looked at John with suspicion, feeling a strange sense of disappointment.

"Can I make special requests?" John's eyes lit up as he looked her up and down.

Malina was still dressed in her signature loose red robe, her impressive figure subtly outlined,

especially her long legs encased in black stockings.

John couldn't help but swallow. Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other in a while,

but this woman seemed to have become even more alluring. "Shameless!" Malina's face turned bright red, and she instinctively took a step back, her

expression wary. "I sell my skills, not my body."

"Tch." John was speechless.

It was you who mentioned special requests earlier, and now you're backing out?

Not wanting to tease her further, John opened a spatial rift and said, "Let's go."

This time, Sini and Tracy stayed behind, obediently not following.

John led Malina through the rift, and they arrived at a mining site. Around them, Shadow Clan soldiers had gathered, their angry shouts filling the air.

Earth players were suffering greatly. The Shadow ore was heavy and difficult to mine, and the tasks assigned by the Shadow Clan soldiers were nearly impossible for them to complete.

Many players, unable to bear the torment, chose to log off, permanently severing their

connection.

Still, many others, hoping to grow stronger, endured the humiliation and heavy burden. "Godslayer!" At that moment, a Shadow Clan soldier spotted John, his eyes widened in shock, and he immediately sounded the alarm.

The surrounding Shadow Clan forces quickly swarmed in, encircling John like a defensive

wall, prepared for battle.

"Quick, activate the formation!" the leader, a peak upper-tier god, immediately ordered.

The power of the formation surged around them-it seemed to be a mid-level formation, which could never hold John in place.

He looked at it with disdain, too lazy to waste words. With a flick of his wrist, his United

Sword appeared in his hand, the sword's aura buzzing as its cold gleam flashed, sweeping over the Shadow Clan army.

In a single exchange, tens of thousands of Shadow Clan soldiers were killed or injured.

"So strong..." Malina had just raised her staff, a fire spell still forming at the tip, but seeing John's overwhelming strength, she quietly lowered it.

A bitter feeling welled up inside her. It seemed the gap between her and John was growing wider by the day. Hesitating, she bit her lip, then cautiously sent him a party invitation.

John glanced at her and accepted the invite, a playful look crossing his face as he asked, "You

said you sell your skills, not your body. What skills do you sell?"

Malina raised an eyebrow, clearly frustrated. It seemed her suspicions had been correct-this

guy was just as shameless as before.

Her eyes flickered, and she spoke up, "I can draw. I can sketch something for you."
