Chapter 864 Something Has Changed

"Mr Liam, I apologize that I was not able to help you a lot today, but at this time, I would like to remind you of a special offer. For another hundred million mana cores down payment, you will be able to set up a safe zone for your guild members."

Liam immediately stopped in his tracks after hearing the fairy's words.

He was not too interested in the vain conquest game of who was controlling more territories, especially when everything was going to change with every wave of the apocalypse, but this… this he was definitely interested in!

"What do you mean by safe zone?" He immediately turned around to ask the fairy.

Tilia blushed a little as she looked down at her feet. "Cough cough, my bad. I don't think you qualify right now for this offer. Only a guild that had amassed sufficient zones is able to activate this feature."

Liam's eyes widened in shock. Just when he had decided to ignore the whole territory conquest affair, at least for the time being, the fairy had pointed out why he shouldn't do that.

Even though she had taken back the offer just as fast as she had suggested it to him, it did not matter. The information itself was quite valuable.

Moreover, for the first time, the fairy had helped him out in an obvious manner, that too all on her own. He dragged his gaze on her, wondering what triggered this change.

It definitely had something to do with the battleground!

"Did you see our battle against the other guild?" He asked her directly.

Tilia nodded. "Since the magic shop conducts the guild wars, we are able to access the battle records."

"Then is every other guild also able to see these battle records?"

To Liam's surprise, the fairy shook her head. "No. That is not possible. The other guilds are only able to look at the outcome of the challenge, not the battle records."

Heh. Liam grinned. This was an unexpected windfall. He was quite sure that all of his secrets would have been out for the world to see by now, but it seemed he still had some time on his hands.

It was impossible for anyone to have gathered information from this battle. He had personally wiped out every single vampire on that battleground, so there was no way for the word to have gotten out.

And Crimson Abyss clinching another victory was not a new thing.

With this matter settled, Liam quickly gathered his thoughts as he thought about the territory acquisition and the related matters. If a safe zone could be set up, then that was indeed a huge deal.

It was definitely something that was worth investing time and resources in. However, now was not the time.

Since a safe zone could be set up, there could be other infrastructure also set up, perhaps even teleportation portals. There was a lot he needed to figure out about the guild system from this fairy.

But all of that can wait. He first wanted to put an end to this vampire infestation.

Liam silently pondered for a while and then decided that the best time to deal with the guild issues and build the base up further would be right after the second wave of the apocalypse.

Before that, he wanted to get to the bottom of this vampire problem.

Knowing how they were able to gain a lot of stats without putting in much effort and the strange skills they were able to learn casually, he did not want this problem to worsen. This is something that should be nipped in the bud.

Liam thanked the unusually helpful store manager and walked out of the magic shop when he noticed a familiar face.

"So you are really leaving?" Shen Yue, who was waiting patiently at the entrance of the magic shop, asked Liam.

She was fully drenched in sweat from top to bottom, and it was clear that she had run all the way here from the base, perhaps on foot, taking the shortest path.

Liam sighed and walked closer to her. "Do you want to come with me?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Yue surprised him by shaking her head. "No."

"Hmm?"

"I don't want to be a burden to you." She smiled, though her eyes betrayed her real feeling. "You left so quickly that… I just wanted to send you off properly." She mumbled, not knowing how to explain her actions.

"Thank you. I appreciate it." Liam pulled the girl closer and gently kissed her forehead. "I will only be gone for a few days, so take care and keep an eye on Mei Mei for me. Always stick together."

"Mmm…" Shen Yue nodded, tugging at Liam's shirt. "You also take care."

She, just like everyone else, knew exactly why Liam was leaving them. He was going to be in far more dangerous situations than they would ever be in.

"I am sorry." She said, feeling like she had disappointed him.

Even after he had given so many chances to them and helped them, she was still not strong enough to stand confidently in front of him and ask him to take her as well. Heck, she even had a legendary weapon.

Compared to Alex, who had nothing, she truly felt that she was lagging behind.

Seeing the girl's small face, which still looked mesmerizing and stunningly beautiful, enough to invoke the deepest protective feeling in any man, Liam couldn't help but be moved.

He smiled and hugged her closely for a few seconds before letting her go. However, he knew that this was not going to help her in any way. The thing that could help her was…

"If you are so sad to see me go alone, then reach level 50 before I get back." Liam smiled and walked away after giving her another kiss.

For someone like Shen Yue, who was loving, emotional and straightforward, only this was going to work and take her mind off of him. So he gave her a goal to achieve.

And just like he thought, the girl's drooping face immediately changed.

She looked more determined at the moment as she silently nodded. Her hands clenched the edge of her pants, and she bit her cherry-red lips, looking rather seductive.

"Ha Ha." Liam laughed at her predictable actions. This was why he liked her a lot. She was simple, kind and loving. "Anyway, it is a good thing that you came down here to see me off. You saved me a trip." He leaned forward to kiss her again.

"I have some things to give you." He took out a bunch of stone fruits from his inventory and handed them over to Shen Yue. He naturally left some as a reserve in case he needed them later for some experimentation and to figure out how to grow more of them.

"This?" Shen Yue was confused. She did not know what these were but just judging from their appearance, she could tell that these were not ordinary items.

"They are fruits. You should eat them. Eat only five of each and make sure you, Mei Mei, Rey, Alex and Shin Soo get to eat enough first before distributing them to others. Do it on the basis of their current level and their general standing in the guild."

There were not many fruits to begin with so Liam only gave a few quick guidelines.

He then smiled and waved her goodbye as he hopped onto Luna. The fox arrogantly lifted her head up in the sky, scoffing at Shen Yue. Wanting to accompany her master? Only she was fit to do that!

Liam's face twitched, but he didn't say anything. "Go north." He nudged her. The fox whirred into action, disappearing quickly in the next few seconds.
