I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 841: Chapter 841: An Intriguing Gathering

No matter the era.

What ordinary people can see is merely what the bigwigs who control the rules want them to see.

The so-called information shared by the ring that allows information sharing is nothing but what the bigwigs behind the Dark Rising Association want ordinary members of the Dark Rising Association to see; it is information that facilitates the execution of tasks.

Xiyue’s inquiry was utterly worthless.

This girl has experienced too little and actually believed so much in the ring given by Dark Rising.

Lin Yi didn’t offer much of an explanation.

Instead, he used the ring given by Dark Rising to open a projection showing the location of Antar Star via a holographic projection.

Pointing at the map in front of him, Lin Yi patiently asked:

”Are there any members of the Dark Rising Association on Antar Star?”

”Are there any presences of the Dark Rising Association on the fifty stars neighboring Antar Star?”

The ring given by Dark Rising has one advantage.

It can locate the positions of members of the same-level organization and establish contact with them.

Although Lin Yi has destroyed many stars, he hasn’t made any substantive contribution to Dark Rising.

His positive attitude can only earn him a re-evaluation from Ziyue but can’t grant him a full examination from the higher-ups of Dark Rising, so Lin Yi’s ring permissions haven’t changed.

Although Xiyue didn’t understand what Lin Yi was trying to prove with these words, she nevertheless seriously scrutinized the situation following Lin Yi’s guidance.

When she looked into it, significant clues were indeed found.

As Lin Yi said, none of the dozens of stars around Antar Star shows any sign of Dark Rising Association.

Over the years, Dark Rising has never been detected by All Celestial Divine Beings, a fact every member of the Dark Rising Association knows, which is considered very safe.

But is that belief really true?

Choosing a planet not touched by Dark Rising seems like seeking prosperity in danger, but would the higher-ups of Dark Rising really take such an action?

If you disregard this point, over the years, Dark Rising Association has absorbed more and more powerful individuals, but the number of powerful entities in Dark Rising hasn’t increased to the point where it leaves traces for All Celestial Divine Beings, is this scientifically plausible?

Lin Yi’s thoughts were somewhat speculative, but he could think of no other possibilities.

”Do you mean this gathering is not to commend outstanding members but rather signifies danger?”

After pondering for a while, Xiyue finally sensed something amiss.

Lin Yi nodded.

”Not entirely, I just feel...”

”Should we still go?”

”Yes, we should definitely go.”

Dark Rising is a big tree, a tree you can lean on.

Even though the intention behind such an invitation is unknown, one thing is certain.

Those with ability and value can survive till the end.

Coincidentally, Lin Yi is just that kind of person.

As for the strategies of those above, only by being personally involved can one see clearly.

The time mentioned in the letter arrived quickly.

On this day, Lin Yi and Xiyue were neatly dressed for the occasion.

Each wearing a small blue formal suit, exuding elegance.

When the two arrived at the designated location, the Dome Inn on Antar Star was already bustling with powerful individuals from over a hundred different stars.

Each of them was dressed in their planet’s attire, radiating the unique confidence of the strong, heating the atmosphere of the entire inn substantially.

Yet, the moment Lin Yi and Xiyue appeared arm in arm, the attention of the entire scene was successfully captured.

It wasn’t just the looks of the two young individuals, but also their age.

Especially Lin Yi, who at the age of twenty, already had the capability to hold his own against the experts present, such a young person, who wouldn’t take him seriously?

Those who receive invitations are not to be underestimated.

In a crowd populated mostly by middle-aged individuals, it’s hard not to stand out.

Under the watchful eyes of many powerful entities, Lin Yi took his seat.

On the table were the specially prepared delicacies.

The venue was quite spacious.

Enough to accommodate five hundred small tables and chairs.

Each planet’s Dark Rising members typically would only send a representative or two.

So, accommodating a thousand people was no issue at all.

If there was anything needed, one could ask the innkeeper, who in this less technologically advanced planet’s inn had rented out the venue for the Dark Rising Organization, allowing the members to revel without restraint.

The innkeeper’s skills were not bad, aside from the exquisite appearances, the taste was exceptional.

Many of the powerful individuals praised the higher-ups for their taste in choosing such a planet.

Lin Yi was thoroughly satisfied with the food; even without a foodie’s appetite, he sampled a few more dishes.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

When everyone was mostly done eating, there was always some gregarious person who stood up, sharing tales of their experiences with Dark Rising while under the influence of alcohol, almost always filled with exaggerated accounts, delivered with great enthusiasm and confidence.

As for Lin Yi and Xiyue, they remained composed throughout, as if they were waiting for something.

Everything turned out just as Lin Yi had anticipated.

This gathering was far from just a simple team-building exercise.

Just when everyone was getting excited about their stories, ten innkeepers pushed out a gigantic screen.

Then, following the directions of the client, they started a projection using a special ring.

Purple beams flashed, and a clear image appeared before everyone.

In that instant, the noisy venue instantly quieted down.

In the image, a man with features hidden in darkness sat upright at a table.

He cleared his throat and began to introduce himself.

After a round of introductions of his name and title, the man began to praise, affirming the performance of Dark Rising members over recent times.

He even selected a few Dark Rising members with remarkable contributions for special mention.

At this moment, Ziyue was observing the entire venue from the shadows.

Beside her was a long-haired man of equal strength.

But based on their attire, it was clear that they were not part of the same team.

”If I’m not mistaken, you’re probably watching the same person as me.”

Ziyue, bored, was tossing a token in her hand.

The man beside her was momentarily stunned.

Evidently, he hadn’t expected Ziyue to observe him so intently.

”Oh, years without seeing each other, have you missed me? I still say the same thing, if you want to be with me, leave Dark Rising, we’ll have a good life, become my woman, and I’ll allocate thirty percent of my resources to you; how about that? How about today?”

The man’s words left Ziyue speechless.

This guy in front of her had annoyed her for hundreds of years and still had the same attitude.

”Ha, I can’t be bothered to argue with you over this boring topic.”

Ziyue put away the token and looked down at Lin Yi below the dome.

”What do you think of that kid?”

Since the start of the banquet, Lin Yi and Xiyue stood out as unique.

In such a situation, it was hard not to attract attention.

”That kid, very mature, his reactions genuinely exceeded my expectations, almost as if he had already seen through everything arranged next, but that’s impossible; this banquet, under my charge for hundreds of years, rarely saw anyone leave alive, and those who left have long become key figures in Dark Rising, there’s no need to tell this kid about such things regarding the banquet.”

The long-haired man said earnestly.
