Chapter 022: Second Time

After selecting her items, Yun Xi submitted the order.

[Please enter your ID number and confirm your order——]
[ID Number: ——]
[Order No. 379: Beginner Spellcaster Set (Female), Caution Sword, Thunderwood Wand — Total cost: 2290 copper coins or 18 silver coins. Please select your payment method — Copper or Silver.]
[Friendly reminder: To reduce staff workload, once submitted, the order cannot be changed or canceled~]

Yun Xi entered her information, tapped confirm, and handed the tablet back to the staff in the main hall.

“Miss Yun, have you submitted your order?”

“Yes.”

“Alright. Please proceed to one of the private transaction rooms over there. Swipe your ID card to enter, and wait for our staff to assist you.”

Yun Xi followed the direction the staff pointed. On the west side of the hall, there was a row of private transaction booths. Some were lit red (occupied), but many showed green lights, indicating they were available.

Nice. It ensured both privacy and security.

Yun Xi didn’t rush over immediately. “How long is the wait?”

“Not long, about ten minutes.”

She nodded and entered one of the available booths.

Maybe it was because she chose to pay in silver coins, but the staff arrived quickly.

To her surprise, the delivery was made by two armed security guards. The items she ordered were packed in a secure combination-locked briefcase.

“Miss Yun, here are the goods you ordered. Please inspect them.”

The case opened to reveal the three ordered items neatly arranged inside.

The Caution Sword was plain in appearance, came with its own sheath, and was about 60 cm in length—somewhat compact, but usable.

The Thunderwood Wand was pitch-black and barely 15 cm long. No wonder it was called a “small wand.”

Yun Xi examined the spellcaster set carefully, confirming that it was indeed made of spirit silkworm silk before finally relaxing.

She definitely didn’t want to end up with fakes. After all, Blue Star items couldn’t be brought into Fallen Gods Continent. Weapons were one thing—but if her clothing couldn’t be transferred over, that would be awkward.

“Miss Yun, you can rest assured—we never sell counterfeit goods. If we do, we’ll compensate you one hundred times over,” one staff member added, clearly used to cautious customers.

Yun Xi nodded without saying much more. She handed over 18 silver coins—payment and goods exchanged in one smooth transaction.

Seeing how decisive she was, the staff asked if she needed an escort home.

“No need, thank you.” Blue Star’s law enforcement was still reliable, and Yun Xi could protect herself. No need to use up extra resources.

Back at home, Yun Xi placed her newly purchased items into her spatial pouch, preparing to bring them into Fallen Gods Continent.

Tomorrow at 12 noon, the game would open again. This time, there would likely be a huge increase in the number of players.

Also, the village chief would be taking her to Qinglan Town.

She wondered whether Qinglan Town would be the same as she remembered from her previous life. If it was even remotely similar, she’d have plenty of room to maneuver.

The next day, 12 noon.

Many people had their eyes glued to the clock. After all, the first launch had been exactly at noon.

Just like before, account registration opened one hour prior to server launch.

There was no need to remind anyone—those truly interested had already set alarms and were habitually tapping the “register” button every day.

But this time, unlike before, the game responded—new users successfully registered!

Yet many still stubbornly chose guest login, unaware of how dangerous Fallen Gods Continent actually was. Some simply didn’t take it seriously at all.

To them, this was just a game. A real world simulation? Impossible. Absolutely not!

At the same time, Yun Xi’s WeBubble app was ringing nonstop.

Messages poured in from Yu Jinxiang, Tu Jiaojiao, Gu Shian, Chen Nana, and the official player group.

“Fallen Gods Continent is live again!”

Yun Xi casually forwarded the news to her family group chat.

That’s right—after the last family meeting, Yun Hu had created a family chat group to stay up to date with anything related to the game.

Even Yun Hai and Yun Mei had set aside their past grudges. At this moment, supernatural power was far more important.

After forwarding the message, Yun Xi didn’t bother checking their replies. She changed into the beginner spellcaster outfit she had just bought yesterday and clicked login.

A familiar hazy sensation swept over her—and Yun Xi was back in her small, familiar wooden hut.

Feeling the rich spiritual energy in the air again—indeed, the atmosphere of Fallen Gods Continent was so much fresher.

The game world was still in the nighttime phase.

This time, she didn’t train. Instead, she went over everything she’d need for the journey to Qinglan Town.

She kept the Caution Sword and Thunderwood Wand on her, as well as the four healing potions and two mana potions the village chief had given her.

She didn’t know how far Qinglan Town was or how long it would take to get there. During that journey, she couldn’t log out, so she’d have to rely on the food the chief had provided.

The second closed beta would also last just ten days. Hopefully, they could reach Qinglan Town before it ended.

Yun Xi climbed into her straw bed and closed her eyes. They’d be leaving tomorrow—it was best to get plenty of rest today.

---

Early the next morning, a knock came at the door.

Yun Xi sat up, brushed the straw off her spellcaster robe, and opened the door.

Standing outside was Hada.

As soon as he saw her, his face lit up.

“Yun Xi, you’re back!”

To the natives of Fallen Gods Continent, an adventurer suddenly “disappearing” and “reappearing” was perfectly normal.

It was like a migrant worker returning home—only the journey involved a system-provided spatial teleportation. And honestly, that wasn’t far from the truth.

So an adventurer disappearing wouldn’t raise any suspicion.

After the last beta’s battle, even though Yun Xi had mostly stayed in her room to train, the villagers’ affection toward her had grown rapidly. The reason? She had saved many of their loved ones.

Hada knew this better than anyone. If Yun Xi hadn’t arrived when she did, he would’ve been killed by that rat-like specter with only 10 HP remaining.

Grateful to his savior, Hada and his twin had frequently brought Yun Xi food during the last beta.

When he heard that Yun Xi would be traveling to Qinglan Town with the village chief, he felt a little reluctant—but he respected her decision.

“Yun Xi, this time I’m coming with you and Grandpa to Qinglan Town!”

“Mm, but it might be dangerous out there. Be sure not to wander off…”

“Don’t worry, Yun Xi! I’ve learned Appraisal already! I’ll scout the terrain while Grandpa conserves his mana to protect us. We’ll be fine!”
