“What happened here?” Little Zhang asked 9527 after pausing the video.

　　“Do you see the rope in his hands?” 9527 asked as he pointed at the Flying Dragon Rope in Wang Yu’s hands.

　　“Yup, what about it? Isn’t it a mountaineering rope?” Little Zhang remained puzzled.

　　It was not rare to see equipment for mountaineering in the game. Amongst the two biggest Thief jobs, a Stealer has the nickname “Flying Thief” as Stealers have a talent in [Climbing]. Hence, a mountaineering rope was a necessary equipment for the Flying Thief.

　　Furthermore, mountaineering ropes’ manufacturing blueprint could be bought from the convenience store.

　　Players that have learnt [Climbing] all made one for fun. It was natural for an expert like Wang Yu to possess one too. Little Zhang did not know what was odd about it.

　　9527 said, “It is a mountaineering rope, but his rope does not have any attributes. It cannot be used for mountaineering!”

　　9527 had already studied Wang Yu’s information in detail. He probably understood Wang Yu better than himself, much less just about the equipment.

　　“Oh?” Little Zhang quickly clicked on Wang Yu to retrieve his information. Indeed, the Flying Dragon Rope was a quest item without any attributes.

　　“How can he use something with no attributes? Did he really make external modifications?” Little Zhang was shocked as he never saw something so out of the ordinary.

　　“Hmph, I’ve said it before. This person is really suspicious. Quickly secure his account and inquire the data.” 9527 ordered Little Zhang with a small arrogant snort.

　　However, what Little Zhang said next stunned 9527, “The main computer did not find anything amiss about the data.”

　　“Impossible!!” 9527 was shocked, “He can even use an equipment without attributes. There must be something wrong with the main computer such that it can’t even detect such an obvious cheat.”

　　“That’s not possible, right…” Little Zhang was confused. The entire game’s data was processed by the main computer. If there was any problem, there would be a spread of BUG everywhere, and not only on one person. It was more likely that the system has a large loophole.

　　“Play it again in slow motion!” 9527 calmed down and said softly.

　　“En.” Little Zhang acknowledged the order and started to use slow motion to play the scene where Wang Yu used the rope to climb up the wall.

　　9527 observed the scene in great detail as he gradually looked more shocked.

　　“How… How is this possible?” 9527 said in astonishment as he pointed at Wang Yu on the screen.

　　“What’s wrong, Chief Hao? Did the main computer make a mistake?” Little Zhang saw 9527 and panicked. It was a big deal if the main computer made a mistake. After all, it was a virtual reality game, using people’s brainwaves. If the game could not be secured, the server would have to be closed down.

　　“No, look at his hand.” 9527 said anxiously.

　　Little Zhang replayed the image again and realised where Wang Yu looked odd.

　　Mountaineering was a skill. People in today’s game definitely were not exposed to it widely. Hence, equipments for mountaineering received a lot of leeway from the system for assistance. When players wanted to mountaineer, they only had to aim at the target then raised their hand. However, Wang Yu did not raise his hand. He threw his arm.

　　That meant that Wang Yu did not use the system’s assistance. Instead, he used his own wrist strength to throw it up…

　　Everyone knew Thieves could roof leap but to really see it happen, it was simply groundbreaking.

　　“What kind of martial art is this…” 9527 said panically, “Continue keeping an eye on this lad. Where is he now? Damn it, who knew that there was such a weird person in this game?”

　　“He has just reached the Dead Spirit Swamp.” Little Zhang said.

　　Quan Zhen Sect was a bunch of goal-driven guys. Even if they had to take down such a challenging Ironcliff Fortress, they were not hampered. They simply left their city and had already passed by the mountains, reaching the border of the Dark Faction.

　　<System Notification: You have discovered the Dead Spirit Swamp. You have earned 5000 experience points. This place belongs to the Dark Faction. It is a danger zone. Prepare to battle at any time… >

　　Just when they entered the Dead Spirit Swamp, everyone in Quan Zhen Sect received this notification.

　　As the border between the two factions, the Dead Spirit Swamp was naturally dangerous. In the background story of the game, the Dead Spirit Swamp was an abandoned ground. Most of the creatures there were creatures who could not die, such as zombies, skeletons and Dead Spirit Magicians.

　　These dead spirits were not only gross-looking, they were also extremely resistant physically and their spells had extremely high resistance. Only Sacred-system spells could curb them. Only Fearless had a Sacred-system job in Quan Zhen Sect. Under such a dangerous situation, no one dared to move around freely.

　　Dead Spirit Swamp’s geographic features were different from the swamps in Twilight City. The swamps in Twilight City at least had some plants but in the Dead Spirit Swamp, there was nothing other than some half a metre tall black weed. This confirmed that this was the Sea of Death.

　　“Where do we go next? Are we lost…” Vainglory said worriedly after he looked around and saw that everywhere looked the same.

　　Wang Yu flared up, “Say any more rubbish and I will feed you to the zombies!”

　　Vainglory quickly nodded in fear.

　　Fearless took out the map and pointed to the red dots on the map and said, “Based on the information in our library, these places could be where Atlanta was. This is the closest to us.”

　　Speaking, Fearless pointed at a place called the Port of Cowell. Based on the map, it was extremely close to where they were.

　　“What place is this?” Wang Yu asked as he pointed at the yellow region beside the Port of Cowell.

　　“That is Dead Spirit City!” Fearless said.

　　“Dead Spirit City? No way! Shall we look elsewhere?” Spring Halo asked Fearless.

　　Dead Spirit City was the main city of Dead Spirit Swamp. At the same time, it is also the Second Apostle, Dead Spirit Death God’s region of direct control. Just based on the number of players, the Dead Spirit City was comparable to Berserk Thunder City.

　　In Berserk Thunder City, everyone was of the same faction. So long as no trouble was caused, no one would pick fights due to their PK value. However, they were in the Dark Faction’s territory. It was natural for a fight to break out whenever the two factions met.

　　Attacking players from the opposing faction would increase one’s PK value and even achieve the faction’s honour, in addition to other rewards. These were encouragements by the system for fights to take place…

　　To get everyone to loiter near the Dead Spirit City, there was no difference from asking them to die. This was simply sending a prey to its predator.

　　“No way.” Fearless said, “We will have to pass through Dead Spirit City to get to the remaining possible locations. Only Port of Cowell is beside it. Most importantly, Port of Cowell is the only port in this area.”

　　“Only port…” Hearing what Fearless said, everyone remained silent.
