Time rewinds to ten minutes earlier.
The seas of the Russian Federation, Katyusha's territory.
Watching the auction that had already concluded, Katyusha looked somewhat dejected.
She dismissed the high-ranking members of her alliance.
Alone, she went behind the main hall.
She knocked on the door, and a man's voice sounded from behind it: "Enter!"
Katyusha pushed the door open and went in.
She saw the man, who was her father, Novich.
And a pool of black blood at Novich's feet.
"Father, you..." Katyusha quickly ran over and helped Novich sit down.
Then, she examined Novich's stats, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing.
"Your lifespan has decreased again?"
Novich nodded, smiling wryly: "I'm used to it. As a combat nation, everyone is a warrior."
"Death is not scary. The only thing I fear is that before I die, you won't grow to a sufficient level to lead our country in this bizarre world."
Novich is Katyusha's father.
He was also originally the number one in the Russian Federation's newbie zone.
But in the battle to obtain a demigod weapon in the Russian Federation's ancient battlefield.
He was afflicted with a necromantic curse.
Every few days, he would die painfully once.
After deducting his lifespan, he would be resurrected.
Novich tried various methods but couldn't remove his curse.
So, he had no choice but to pass his responsibilities to Katyusha, who had just turned twenty.
He wanted to nurture Katyusha to lead the Russian Federation in the Lord's world.
And this is why Katyusha, at a young age and still a girl, became the strongest lord in the Russian Federation.
Looking at her father, who was prepared to die, Katyusha bit her silver teeth.
"No, I won't let Father die like this."
"I will definitely find a way to remove Father's curse."
Novich shook his head, not delving into the topic further.
"Let's talk about serious matters! How was the Dark Night's auction?"
"I heard he auctioned off all trump card nests?"
Katyusha nodded: "They were indeed all trump card nests, mostly Tier 7 and Tier 8, but..."
Speaking of this, Katyusha paused.
"But, he seems very exclusive. According to my investigation, he has blacklisted all lords from countries other than Dragon Country, including me."
"We couldn't bid, so all the items in this Dark Night auction went into the hands of Dragon Country lords."
Novich was not surprised: "That's to be expected. After the server merge, many activities, ruins, and dungeons are participated in under the name of the country."
"Dark Night has the ability to obtain trump card nests in batches, so prioritizing Dragon Country is normal."
"Moreover, many countries such as the Lighthouse, the Land of the Rising Sun, the Cosmic Country, and the European countries are unfriendly to Dragon Country. Dark Night can't arm the enemy by letting good things like trump card nests fall into their hands."
Katyusha smiled wryly: "But if that's the case, we're excluded too!"
Novich shook his head: "Not necessarily. Dark Night being able to add you as a friend means he doesn't see you as an enemy."
"As long as you're not Dark Night's enemy, you can still negotiate."
"So, Father, you mean..." Katyusha's bright eyes lit up.
Novich took a deep breath: "Contact Dark Night!"
"Benefits are not waited for; they are fought for."
"Dark Night auctions nests at high prices, which means he is a person who values profits above all else."
"For this kind of person, increase the stakes, prove your sincerity, and perhaps we can get something."
"With such a large-scale auction of trump card nests, there will definitely be a second time after the first."
Katyusha suddenly understood.
She quickly got up and left: "I understand, Father. Please wait for my good news."
……
Dragon Country Sea, Undying City.
"Lord Dark Night, I want to talk to you."
This was the message sent by Katyusha.
Ling Ye's sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly. Talk?
Talk about what? Talk about love?
No, sending a message at this time is mostly because of the auction just now.
So, Ling Ye said: "What do you want to talk about? Trump card nests?"
Katyusha was stunned. Ling Ye was really accurate.
So she quickly continued: "Yes, I also want trump card nests."
"The Cosmic Country, the Land of the Rising Sun, the European countries, and other countries led by the Lighthouse Country are very hostile to Dragon Country and our Russian Federation."
"So I think we can become allies and can jointly..."
Katyusha said a lot.
In short, it means one thing.
She wants it.
She wants trump card nests, she wants a lot of trump card nests, the more the better.
Ling Ye also found it funny.
The value of trump card nests is high, so it's normal to want them.
But the question is!
Why should Ling Ye give them?
"What can I get?" Ling Ye asked.
Very direct, without beating around the bush.
"I can offer a high price," Katyusha said without thinking.
Ling Ye didn't answer, just sent a smiling emoji.
High price?
Just offering a high price, and you think you can impress Ling Ye?
It's as if Ling Ye lacks magic crystals.
To be honest, Ling Ye lacks and doesn't lack resources like magic crystals.
He lacks them in the sense that he wants as many as he can get.
He doesn't lack them in the sense that Ling Ye can take the time to slowly accumulate them, and he can accumulate as many as he wants.
So, what Ling Ye really wants are things that are not easy to obtain.
"I can also offer this." (Click to view sharing)
Katyusha continued.
Ling Ye clicked to view.
[Mechanoid Frenzy Instance Voucher]
Opening countdown: 3 days 11 hours
Rules: Those who possess the voucher can enter the Mechanoid Frenzy instance after the countdown reaches zero.
(This instance is a special instance, the vouchers are limited, the rewards are generous, the difficulty is extremely high, challenge it at your discretion)
Seeing this thing, Ling Ye became interested.
Mechanoid Frenzy?
He knew about this instance.
One of the special instances.
Different from the first and second rounds of instance activities.
These special instances appear randomly, and not everyone can participate.
Take the Mechanoid Frenzy instance as an example.
To participate, you must obtain a voucher.
The number of vouchers is limited and randomly refreshed.
In the previous life, the Mechanoid Frenzy instance was opened and the live broadcast was opened simultaneously, and the popularity was very high.
At that time, Li Longkai also participated.
There were also Lin Kaixuan, and top lords from various countries.
Their vouchers were mostly handed over by alliance lords, or acquired by the alliance.
On the other hand, Ling Ye, a lone wolf, had no fate with the voucher.
But now, Katyusha's appearance has brought the voucher to Ling Ye.
So, does Ling Ye want it, or not?
Only considering for a second.
Ling Ye said: "I want this thing, and I'll add another condition."
"If you can agree, then I can give you the right to bid for trump card nests."
"Of course, only the right to bid. I can't control whether you can get them."
"And, only you have permission. Each time you auction, the maximum number of items you can get cannot exceed 5."
