Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2403  Remaining Doubts

Half a month later.

In the afternoon, at the Library of the Myriad Worlds café, Fang Heng ordered himself an iced Coke.

Recently, he had been enduring the grind of the game with concentrated coffee, and now the smell of coffee made him feel a bit nauseous.

"It's all work-related injuries..."

Fang Heng murmured to himself.

It seemed he needed to take some time to recuperate.

Since the World of Forests had declared a temporary peace, Fang Heng's life had finally returned to a period of tranquility.

During the day, he read books, took naps, did some simple training, and in the evenings, he spent a little money hiring tutors from various academic departments for one-on-one coaching. He also managed to get some funds from the Rayvomadon University research team to spend.

Before he knew it, his connection with the Rayvomadon University research team had gradually deepened.

The university had sent him several invitations to participate in seminars.

Fang Heng had indeed felt a bit tempted and had seriously considered it several times.

More than three months had passed since the Central Federation investigation, and the turmoil had gradually subsided. The tracking shackles that had been on him had completely disappeared, and the pursuers who had followed him had left over a month ago.

Moreover, with the holy weapon's effect as a disguise, Fang Heng thought that even if he went out now, it shouldn't be a problem.

In fact, Gu Qingzhu had already tried going out several times to test whether there were any hidden sentries from the Central Federation outside.

Fang Heng felt that it was still better to be cautious and to stay in the Library of the Myriad Worlds for a while longer.

During this time, his various academic skills had been gradually improving at a slow pace.

Hiding here was quite relaxing.

Going outside might attract new troubles.

In the game, as long as the troubles of the Holy Court weren't resolved, Fang Heng couldn't unleash his full potential. So, he chose to quiet down and organize all the academic disciplines he had learned, leveling up what could be upgraded and grinding experience where he could.

His goal was to max out all the skills he had mastered!

He aimed to raise his attribute values to the current maximum and fully tap into his potential.

Lost in thought, Fang Heng lifted his head to look at the entrance of the café.

A middle-aged man in a leather coat and black-rimmed glasses entered.

Just last night, Fang Heng had received a call from Old Black, who mentioned that the big shot behind the dubious website wanted to meet him at the café this afternoon.

Fang Heng watched as the man walked to several wrong tables before finally approaching him. The man nodded lightly, revealing a friendly smile, and asked, "Hello, are you the friend introduced by Old Black?"

"Yeah, that's me. You must be Bai Mu?" Fang Heng replied.

"Fang Heng, nice to meet you! Sorry for being late."

Fang Heng observed the man's apologetic smile as he kept apologizing. He carefully took off his coat, straightened it, and placed it on the chair beside him before sitting down across from Fang Heng.

"I'm really sorry. I'm face-blind. It takes me a long time to remember someone's face. Even though I've seen your photo, it's still hard for me to recognize you."

Bai Mu waved to the waiter to order a cup of black coffee.

"No problem. I happen to have some time recently."

Fang Heng watched the newcomer, secretly calculating.

At first, he had sought the White Abyss to repair the Nightfall Stone and deal with the demonic seed of Pride. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now that Pride had been taken care of by the Holy Realm, it wasn't as urgent anymore.

Of course, he still needed to search for it, as it was something that could counter the demonic seeds. In the future, he would eventually have to confront Jealousy.

Better safe than sorry.

Additionally, the dimensional core from the White Abyss was also a good item.

However, Fang Heng felt that acquiring it would be quite difficult.

He estimated that it would take some effort.

At the same time, he still had to deal with the pursuit of the Holy Realm.

With the enhancement of the dimensional level, Fang Heng believed that he wouldn't be completely defenseless against the pursuers from the Holy Realm like before. However, he still wouldn't be able to win against them.

So, there was no need to waste time on a reckless attempt.

At least for now, even though he knew the way to enter the White Abyss, he didn't dare to go there easily.

However, since Bai Mu was here, he figured he should ask what needed to be asked.

Fang Heng tentatively inquired, "I heard from Old Black that you are very interested in the White Abyss. I'm actually quite interested as well. I initially left a message to talk with you, but I didn't expect you to come all the way here."

"No problem, I wanted to see the rising star from the forum in person too."

Bai Mu gave off a refined and gentle vibe, moving slowly and methodically, making it hard to associate him with the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the dubious website.

However, the next sentence almost made Fang Heng drop the cup of tea in his hand.

"I'll be straightforward: as far as I know, the White Abyss is controlled by the demonic seed of Jealousy."

What the hell!

The news was so shocking that Fang Heng nearly spat his cola through his nose.

"What did you say?"

Bai Mu looked at Fang Heng, still smiling, but he didn't repeat what he had just said.

Fang Heng quickly calmed down.

The fact that the White Abyss was controlled by Jealousy?

That made sense.

After all, Jealousy had a motive!

Jealousy indeed wanted to seal the various demonic seed containers in different places.

So, it was reasonable that he had made a deal with the tree spirit tribe to seal away part of Pride.

Alright.

Putting the White Abyss aside for now, Fang Heng focused on the person in front of him.

Bai Mu!

He was able to casually mention the name of the demonic seed.

Wasn't he afraid of contamination?

"Yes, the demonic seed of Jealousy," Bai Mu repeated, casting an appreciative glance at Fang Heng. "Hello, Greed. Let me introduce myself again. I am one of the heirs of Wrath."

Fang Heng stared at Bai Mu, feeling a bit dazed.

You?

Wrath?

Wasn't there a bit of a gap here?

And an heir?

Shouldn't you refer to yourself as an artifact?

At least you didn't claim to be 'Wrath.'

But that was a good thing.

Fang Heng took a couple of big gulps of cola to steady his nerves as his mind raced.

After a moment of silence, Fang Heng adjusted his posture and shook his head at Bai Mu, "I'm not quite sure what you're talking about."

"That's alright. Just listen to me; think of it as hearing a story." Bai Mu didn't mind and continued, "In fact, a long time ago, when I first came across clues related to the White Abyss, I conducted a series of investigations into it."

"From what I currently understand, Jealousy used some kind of power to imprison the other demonic seeds at the same time. However, Jealousy alone did not have the strength to truly destroy the demonic seeds, nor did it possess the energy and ability to separately confine and seal each one. Thus, Jealousy attempted to split the powers of the demonic seeds, hiding or sealing them in various corners of the world."

Bai Mu took the coffee from a mechanical server and thanked him before turning back to Fang Heng and concluding, "The White Abyss is actually the source of Jealousy."
