Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1138: Oracle Grotto

While Xu Feng successfully deceived Veronica, he still needed to hurriedly draft a decent plan for her.

Otherwise, she would soon start to doubt his words. He definitely couldn’t afford to be caught in the crossfire.

Although Veronica didn’t openly express any anger or resentment, even a fool could discern that she was extremely eager to repay the crap that the Miracle Pavilion had given her.

’Let’s see... the Miracle Pavilion is already being slowly booted out of their base, but that’s not enough.’ Xu Feng rubbed his chin softly.

Their foundation was still sturdy, especially with their real-life operations sustaining them.

Just when he was having some predicament in how to progress further in the damages, he suddenly received a message notification.

"Hmm, who could it be?" He raised an eyebrow and opened his inbox.

His expression changed slightly upon seeing that the message came from Evelyn.

And what was surprising was that the message wasn’t directed to Cool Wind, but to Lin Feng, aka his Guild Leader’s persona.

Evelyn: Hello, Guild Leader Lin Feng. Pardon the sudden message, but I have successfully caused Miracle Pavilion to suffer heavily in the financial aspect, utilizing the influence of our Malefic Order Guild.

’Eh, their financial status has been hit?’ Dumbfounded, Xu Feng was a bit taken aback.

In the next seconds, a file was soon forwarded to him. He opened the file, which was verified and secured by the Divine World System, so he knew it wasn’t some kind of virus file.

Not that there could be any virus file in the Divine World anyway!

Shortly after reading the file, Xu Feng was fascinated and impressed by Evelyn’s work.

In a wide chain of attacks in multiple networks. She actually caused the Miracle Pavilion to lose over billions in revenue, and their stock markets were also hit hard.

What made it an amazing feat was that none of the attacks could be traced back to her or the Malefic Order Guild.

’Sheesh, just who is this woman?’ A cold chill ran down his spine as he realized that Evelyn was more dangerous than he had anticipated.

Just the mere thought that she might have used these tactics against his Vanguard Guild made him have a huge migraine.

The attack was swift and concise, leaving the opponent zero time to prepare and defend.

Taking a deep breath to regulate his emotions, Xu Feng began replying to her.

Lin Feng: I’m flabbergasted by Miss Evelyn’s works. But may I ask why you have done such a deed?

Evelyn: Don’t you know the answer already?"

Lin Feng: I do?

Xu Feng scratched his head and found her to be more and more unfathomable.

What was she trying to seek?

An alliance or a collaboration?

Neither option was something he would agree to.

After all, they did something that made him never want to work alongside them. They got Carmen killed in an unfair situation—one that he would always remember and regretted letting happen.

The Hall of Resonance Trial was an exception because he had agreed to it beforehand, and it wasn’t even conducted with them in mind.

A few seconds later, Evelyn finally decided to send a message in a straightforward manner.

Evelyn: I want Cool Wind. There’s an ancient ruin that I have been qualified to attend to on my plane, and I wish for him to assist us.

Lin Feng: I cannot decide on that. Cool Wind isn’t bound by the Vanguard Guild, nor is he obligated to adhere to my orders unless it’s from our boss, Eclipse Nova.

Evelyn: There’s no need to reject me so fast. The ancient ruin is called Oracle Grotto. According to the NPC’s words, it’s a ruin littered with amazing resources of ancient times. The limitation is Tier 1 and a maximum of 5 players.

’Oracle Grotto???!’ Xu Feng’s body jolted slightly. He certainly didn’t expect Evelyn to bring multiple good news to him.

The Oracle Grotto was unique because of one particular item: Skip Advancement Tier.

The Skip Advancement Tier was a Mythic Rarity item, capable of bypassing the Tier advancement test completely.

Best part of it all?

Using it wouldn’t affect your future tier advancement whatsoever. In fact, it even helped decrease the level of difficulty.

’If I can get it and avoid the Origin Trial, then it’ll be perfect.’ Xu Feng thought to himself. He still recalled his previous trial setting being set in the Battleship Lux. It was one difficult trial where he nearly failed.

Sometime later, Xu Feng replied to Evelyn in a subtle manner.

Lin Feng: I’ll inform Cool Wind of the matter. He’s currently unavailable, and there’s no guarantee he will accept the invitation.

Evelyn: No worries. I’m sure the success is quite high as long as you put in good words. Besides, I’m willing to offer you some of our guild’s secret affiliation with other Super Guilds and their upcoming plans. If I recall properly, they seemed to discover a leveling haven to reach Tier 2 fast.

Xu Feng’s eyebrows twitched slightly. What did he just read?

Was this woman a spy he had unknowingly planted, or did someone from her guild offend her so much that she decided to sell every confidential intel away?

He tilted his head in disbelief and realized this was a very enticing offer.

’Sorry, Cool Wind, but I might just have to sell you out as a gigolo.’ Xu Feng apologized. Although he had no idea how or when his alias charmed Evelyn to this point, he would be foolish to not accept their goodwill.

It can’t be considered immoral either because she didn’t express anything aloud, only repeatedly pestering Cool Wind.

Or at least that was what Xu Feng wanted to remind himself.

Using people was his expertise, but using their feelings and emotions like this was borderline disgusting.

"I should probably make it clear to her after raiding the Oracle Grotto with her as Cool Wind." He murmured. He felt no affection for Evelyn whatsoever. It was better off to cut her desire fast rather than letting it go on and possibly fester into something chaotic.
