The night passed without incident, and the next day, John and his party left Yorknew City on an airship.
Sky Arena, originally the headquarters of the Black Dragon Club, is now owned by John on the main floor of the 230th floor. John and his party walked into the luxurious suite used for residence.
"It's still comfortable here. It's been a while since I've been back."
Looking at the familiar environment, Steve walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened the curtains, and looked down at the city and the blue sky outside. He couldn't help but stretch his arms and said with emotion.
"Wait while I go to the martial arts gym," Mia said, also approaching the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking in the direction of the Shenqiang Martial Arts Gym involuntarily.
"I'll go with you later. Although I hired people from a cleaning company to clean and maintain it regularly before I left, I still feel a little worried if I don't go and take a look."
John walked into the middle of the two women from behind and put his arms around the waists of Steve and Mia, one on the left and the other on the right. He used a slight force to make Mia lean into his arms and also looked at the Shenqiang Martial Arts Hall's direction.
Mia responded softly and rested her head gently on John's shoulder.
"Then let's go together. It's okay if you don't tell me. But if you tell me, I miss it a little!" Steve's eyes also softened.
The Shenqiang Martial Arts Hall was where Mia grew up, where John began his training, and where Steve lived for two or three years.
It can be said that the Shenqiang Martial Arts School has a profound impact and memory on all three of them.
While John and the others were standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in reminiscence, Delilah was also talking to Shizuku in the living room.
"Shizuku, do you know the Sky Arena?" Delilah asked, jumping on the sofa and sitting down, curiously looking at Shizuku, who was sitting opposite.
Shizuku nodded and said, "Yes, it's a world-famous fighting holy land. Many people come to sign up for the competition every day, and I heard that there are Nen users after reaching the 200th floor!"
Sky Arena has a wide reputation, and even people who don't pay much attention to it have often heard about it. Shizuku obviously has a certain understanding of Sky Arena.
"Sounds like a great idea!"
Hearing that there would be Nen users after the 200th floor, Delilah suddenly became very interested.
One of its ways of evolution is to fight. The more powerful the opponent, once you defeat or kill it, you can gain more experience points.
After checking in, they went to the Shenqiang Martial Arts School. The next day, John and his group gathered together in the living room on the 230th floor.
On the table were two Greed Island game consoles placed together, and the number of sockets was increased through multiplayer connectors.
"Sky Arena is backed by the behemoth V5. Basically, no one dares to cause trouble here. You can play Greed Island here with confidence."
After John glanced at the two game consoles that were already connected, he turned to look at Steve and the others.
"Do you really want to go alone? How about I stay with you? With my Door Door Fruit ability, I can at least retreat safely when encountering danger," Mia couldn't help but say.
Steve also said with a serious face, "I'm not too worried, we've all seen the situation on Meteor Street, it's too risky for you to go alone, it's better for us to act together."
"Yes, Master, let us go together!"
"Well...I'm quite familiar with Meteor Street. I can lead the way if necessary."
Delilah and Shizuku also spoke separately.
Delilah, Steve, and Mia were all worried that John would be in danger if he acted alone.
Shizuku was a little conflicted, but in the end, she chose to side with John.
The reason for the confusion is that she was born in Meteor Street. Even though the environment in Meteor Street is cruel and unusual, it is still her hometown.
As for why she chose John in the end.
Needless to say, after signing the crystal contract, she could not betray John at all and completely tied herself to John.
Seeing the expressions of the four people, John waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have a sense of control. You also know that I have the ability to sense danger. If it really becomes necessary, I promise to retreat immediately."
The preparations for entering Greed Island are in place. It stands to reason that the next step is to enter the game, clear the levels, and complete the achievement [Greed Island].
It's just that John has no intention of entering Greed Island, or in other words, he is not planning to enter it yet.
He proposed to Steve and the others to separate actions. Steve and the others would go into Greed Island first to collect cards, while he would deal with the problem of Meteor Street.
Needless to say about the former, the achievement of [Greed Island] only requires John to pass it, and does not require him to collect the cards one by one in person.
In other words, he could wait for Steve and the others to collect the cards before entering and submitting them to complete the final clearance.
As for the latter.
When Meteor Street sent the Meteor Pursuit Team to hunt him down, John has never forgotten it.
Even though there have been no new moves in Meteor Street since the destruction of the Meteor Chase Team, this does not mean that John will just let it go.
It is necessary to regain his position, otherwise, his ideas will not be clear.
Not to mention that there are many masters in Meteor Street, making it a very suitable dungeon for leveling up.
The characteristic that John obtained from Delilah is 'evolution.' This characteristic makes him similar to Delilah. He can gain experience points by defeating enemies, thereby evolving his physique.
The talent increase from the crystal contract and the Sun-Moon Body Training Method have indeed greatly improved John's efficiency in physical training.
But this is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause.
As his body continued to strengthen, his physique still hindered his growth rate more and more, even stopping John's progress.
Therefore, if he wants to cure it completely, he must improve his physical condition.
Steve and Mia, who heard about the danger-sensing ability and had seen it many times, couldn't help but relax slightly from their worries.
If John really evacuates after sensing danger, safety can indeed be guaranteed.
