After bidding farewell to Tang Haofei, Wen Yu returned to the room with Qin Tian to discuss the specific meeting time with the team.
Qin Tian, Arthur, and the old daoist priest could directly arrive in Las Vegas when the Eternal Sky City opened, but Carmel might take a bit longer since she had a divine beast species partner, and mutated beasts couldn't enter the Eternal Sky City without using the Exchange Stone Pillar.
Carmel's arrival would definitely be delayed, but she should be able to make it before the onset of the demonic disaster.
After seeing everyone off, Wen Yu finally had some leisure time.
Though it seemed there wasn’t much to do, the tasks were quite trivial. For Wen Yu, dealing with these things was far less satisfying than fighting against the demonic clan!
Unfortunately...
Wen Yu sighed suddenly.
He was not in control of his own destiny...
Whether it was the military, the demonic clan, or the sovereign, they all needed him to enhance his strength as much as possible, yet individual power had its limitations.
For Wen Yu, having a strong team might be the best choice!
...
Outside the Eternal Sky City, the folds in the sky had completely dissipated, and the clear blue sky along with the warm sunlight poured down on the Eternal Sky City, signaling to everyone there that the descent had come to an end...
And the time to leave had arrived.
Wen Yu slightly closed his eyes as the light of teleportation enveloped his body. In the next second, he appeared in his room at the Red Stone Grand Hotel.
He glanced at the clock on the wall—exactly one day had passed, not a second off...
...
Outside the Red Stone Grand Hotel, noisy sounds penetrated the walls and reached Wen Yu's ears, proving that the renovations in Las Vegas were in full swing.
Today marked 14 days left until the demonic disaster, just two weeks.
“It’s over... and the harvest is considerable,” Yang Hong said excitedly to Wen Yu after briefly getting adjusted to the dizziness brought by the teleportation.
Wen Yu nodded.
This sequence ranking battle not only offered generous rewards but, more importantly, it heralded the establishment of the lone wanderers' mutual aid union and the arrival of Qin Tian and others in a few days!
Though until now, Wen Yu still didn’t fully acknowledge that more people meant greater strength, for the sake of reducing future covetousness and schemes aimed at him, and in order to deal with the demonic tide, forming a tightly-knit team next to him was inevitable!
Moreover, the strength of the teammates Wen Yu chose meant he wouldn't have to worry much—the team would usually handle their own matters, and when real situations arose, they would unite together—essentially, this team was just a small, closely-knit version of the lone wanderers' mutual aid union that allowed Wen Yu to feel more at ease.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu said directly to Yang Hong beside him, “When they arrive, you’ll be responsible for receiving them. As for matters about the lone wanderers' mutual aid union, I need you to pay more attention... If you’re unwilling to do so, let Klaus be the internal affairs chief.”
Yang Hong smiled, “I’m willing; these matters won’t take much effort.”
Wen Yu nodded, “That’s good.”
Then, Wen Yu and Yang Hong walked out of the room together, heading downstairs.
...
As soon as they exited the front door of the Red Stone Grand Hotel, Wen Yu saw Klaus walking toward them with Victor's dual body.
Klaus's voice came from a distance, “I heard from Victor that you returned. How was the harvest?”
“Quite considerable,” Wen Yu replied, stepping forward and directly embracing Victor's dual body.
Victor, with an unwilling expression, pushed against Wen Yu's arm but ultimately lacked the strength to oppose him, so he had to raise his head, adopting a tsundere demeanor as he settled into a comfortable position.
Gently stroking Victor's smooth fur, Wen Yu took a moment to consider and decided to inform Klaus about the lone wanderers' mutual aid union.
