My Wife is a Hidden Big Shot

Chapter 419 - 388: A Special Ring

This locksmith was later appointed a third-rank official and became the royal locksmith for the Harrow Dynasty. He lived to be 370 years old.

"Morgan, The Shadow Organization is highly focused on Mechanical Locks. Do you think there might be some of these locks inside The Hidden Realm?"

"It’s possible. Back in Ancient Times, the three great Martial Gods coveted The Holy Mountain’s Secret Realm. It’s highly likely that, aside from ways to become more powerful, it also contains treasures—just like dungeon explorations in Conquest of Glory..."

As he said this, Alvin Morgan suddenly froze, looking down at the ring on Aurora Sinclair’s hand.

"What’s wrong?"

Aurora Sinclair watched as Alvin Morgan took her hand and stared at the ring on it, his gaze turning inquisitive.

Then he suddenly stood up and started pulling her out.

"Aurora, I remember where I’ve seen this ring! In Conquest of Glory, after the servers had a major update, you had to collect a ring to unlock exploration in the Alternate Dimension..."

Aurora Sinclair hadn’t reached the Alternate Dimension exploration yet because she wasn’t Level 85, but Alvin Morgan’s main character had.

"Beta Morgan, bring me my laptop—"

They had Ditto Miles get them online, then logged into Alvin Morgan’s main account, White, to accept the quest for exploring the Alternate Dimension.

Sure enough, they obtained a ring.

Alvin Morgan enlarged the image of the ring to compare it with the one on Aurora Sinclair’s hand. It was shockingly identical.

The color drained from their faces as a bone-chilling sensation washed over them.

’Don’t tell me we’re...’

Alvin Morgan desperately suppressed the wild thoughts in his mind and said in a deep voice, "Aurora, contact your senior brother—"

「Meanwhile.」

「EM Headquarters Tower.」

Jared Miles was in the middle of a remote meeting, his phone switched to silent.

But halfway through the meeting, the screen in front of him suddenly displayed Aurora Sinclair’s face.

"Senior Brother, are you busy right now?"

All the executives in the conference room were stunned, especially the manager of the data security department, whose knees nearly buckled.

’How did the headquarters’ network get hacked again?’

After a moment of shock, Jared Miles’s serious expression suddenly broke into a smile. "Not busy."

The surrounding executives exchanged bewildered glances. ’Their Mr. Miles can actually smile?’

Especially since she had just hacked the EM Group network, interrupting their negotiation of a multi-billion-dollar project.

"Senior Brother, who is the lead designer for the game Conquest of Glory? And who specifically designed the Alternate Dimension?"

Jared Miles had thought his junior sister had some incredibly urgent matter for him, but he never expected such a simple question.

"The game was a joint project between The International Martial Alliance and Five Continents Gaming, so there’s no single credited lead designer. As for the Alternate Dimension’s design, I believe that was handled by the Alliance."

Aurora Sinclair’s pupils seemed to contract. "Who designed the Alternate Dimension ring? Do you know?"

That question stumped Jared Miles. He thought for a good while but couldn’t recall. "Does anyone here know?"

The manager of the design department raised his hand. "That ring... I remember someone from the Alliance brought over the design and just told us to use it."

Jared Miles looked at Aurora Sinclair on the screen. Noticing her bad mood, he immediately asked with concern, "Junior Sister, what’s wrong? Where are you now?"

Aurora Sinclair shook her head and replied softly, "I’m at Master’s place..."

Jared Miles had learned from Flora Guthrie three years ago that Master Aerion was still alive. He had rushed back in a panic at the time and nearly had a falling out with him.

Seeing that his junior sister was clearly upset, his heart tightened. He immediately stood up. "Junior Sister, wait for me. I’m on my way back..."

Aurora Sinclair thought for a moment, then nodded slightly. "I’ll wait for you."

At this, Levi Forrest, Jared Miles’s chief secretary, was on the verge of tears. "Mr. Miles, we’re still negotiating the project..."

"You all carry on. Call me if anything comes up."

With that, he strode right out of the conference room, leaving the EM Group executives to stare at one another, their eyes glinting with gossip.

***

By the time Jared Miles arrived, Alvin Morgan and Aurora Sinclair had already run through the Alternate Dimension event three times.

The game’s rules stated that players needed the guidance of the Divine Ring to enter the Alternate Dimension, either solo or in a team. Completing the exploration quests inside gave them a chance to obtain special Skills and treasures.

Since Aurora Sinclair’s character, Master Rory, hadn’t reached the required Level, she had to use one of the Morgan brothers’ accounts to play.

When Aurora Sinclair obtained a Skill Book titled "Beastification," she felt a creeping sense of horror for the first time.

This "Beastification" Skill permanently increased a player character’s speed and Strength by 10 points, and was class-bound to assassins or Boxers.

"Boss, I got a god-tier Skill Book! It’s as insane as Master Rory’s Nirvana Rebirth Skill!" Beta Morgan suddenly exclaimed in delight.
