Chapter 240 - This Trick Again
“Holy shit, that ring’s color seems to be orange. Damn, an Epic-grade ring, simply terrifying!”
After Jiang Cheng left with A Silly Cutie, The Humbly Great Emperor, and the others, the scene finally erupted in an uproar.
“So what if it is? Don’t tell me you dare to snatch it?” Zaohao Tianxiu said to Zaohao Shenxiu beside him.
“Snatch it? Guild Leader, don’t joke like that. If I heard correctly just now, there was probably a giant dragon hidden in that black mist!”
Zaohao Shenxiu stepped on the blood-covered rubble, looking at the hundred-meter pit in front of him, and shuddered.
“Based on my guess, the sounds coming from the black mist should be that black skeleton engaging the giant dragon. But…after the black mist disappeared, the dragon was gone.”
Zaohao Tianxiu nodded. “That dragon was probably killed by the black skeleton. Just look at this big pool of blood on the ground. That dragon was at least a hundred meters long!”
“A hundred-meter dragon, struck down with one spear, simply invincible!”
“Brother Du Ba, since you have a good relationship with A Silly Cutie, did you extract any information from her?”
Du Ba Tianxia shook his head.
“You’re overthinking it. Now that Goddess Cutie has established a guild, we may be opponents in the future. How could she possibly reveal her intel to me?”
“The way you say that, it’s as if there are only unchanging interests between guilds and no eternal enemies. It seems Brother Du Ba didn’t offer a big enough bargaining chip.”
“Enough, arguing about this is meaningless. We only need to know not to provoke A Silly Cutie for now.”
Du Ba Tianxia waved his hand.
“You group of old cunts, all you know is being cryptic. Is there any fucking point?” Du Ba Tianxia cursed as he rushed over from the revival point.
“In my opinion, this black skeleton is nothing special. Why did we establish a guild? Why is a guild called a guild? It’s because of numbers!”
“As long as I mobilize enough people, there’s no one that can’t be killed! If 400 isn’t enough, I’ll send out 500. If 500 isn’t enough, I’ll send out 1,000!”
Du Ba Tianxia looked at his dropped level, feeling quite irritated.
He felt that all of this was caused by the black skeleton, so he had to reclaim his face.
“Boss Du Ba Tianxia is still so aggressive. Then I’ll wish you success here,” Du Ba Tianxia sneered, his tone full of disdain.
“Hmph, I’ll take your blessing then. When I snatch that ring, I’ll let you all admire it.”
Of course, Du Ba Tianxia knew they looked down on him, but he didn’t say anything and directly left with his people.
“This idiot is going to court death again. If numbers were useful, what would the Twelve Gods be needed for?” Du Ba Tianxia looked at Du Ba Tianxia’s back, feeling very disdainful.
“Some people blindly believe in the power of the collective. You can’t blame them for that,” Zaohao Tianxiu curled his lip.
“Alright, no need to pay attention to this kind of idiot. Let’s talk about how you guys got to know A Silly Cutie. I’m quite curious.”
…
“Skeleton Big Brother, what exactly happened in the black mist?” A Silly Cutie sat on the Skeleton Warhorse, hugging Jiang Cheng with her little head buried in his cloak, asking curiously.
“Nothing much. There was just a dragon that wanted to seize my body.”
“Ah, there was actually a dragon in the black mist?” A Silly Cutie’s body trembled.
Dragons, in Chinese culture, symbolized the supreme position and were inviolable existences.
Even though the West regarded dragons as the embodiment of evil, a dragon’s power absolutely could not be ignored.
Although Jiang Cheng was very strong, encountering a creature like a dragon, how could he emerge unscathed?
“This dragon is too bad. It actually dared to seize Skeleton Big Brother’s body. If I encounter it, I’ll definitely rip out its tendons and skin it, hmph!” A Silly Cutie puffed up her cheeks and spoke out in Jiang Cheng’s defense.
At this time, the Demon Dragon, quietly waiting to recover in the Dragon-Slaying Divine Ring, heard these words and instantly shook with fear.
Jiang Cheng smiled knowingly. “Alright, next time if there’s a chance, I’ll let you spar with it.”
“Wow, really? Skeleton Big Brother, you’re so good to me. Why are you so good to me? You’re making me not know how to repay you.”
“I don’t need repayment.” Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and continued driving the Skeleton Warhorse towards Luoyun City.
Along the way, countless players cast gazes of attention on them, but Jiang Cheng and A Silly Cutie had no reaction at all.
“But I still feel a bit guilty. You’re too good to me. If I don’t repay you, I won’t be able to eat or sleep. No, I must repay you.”
A Silly Cutie’s personality was indeed a bit stubborn.
After riding the horse all this way, Jiang Cheng was already at a loss for words from her pestering. She had been mentioning this matter the whole way, and Jiang Cheng hadn’t responded.
He didn’t expect that after just a few words, A Silly Cutie brought up this matter again. However, he was also a bit curious why A Silly Cutie was so insistent on repaying him.
“Alright, tell me how you want to repay me.”
“Really?” Hearing Jiang Cheng agree, A Silly Cutie was instantly overjoyed. “Okay then, Skeleton Big Brother, stretch out your hand.”
“I need to steer the horse. I can’t free my hands.” Jiang Cheng helplessly shrugged his shoulders, making a creaking sound.
“Then just stop for a bit.” A Silly Cutie tugged on Jiang Cheng’s cloak, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness.
Jiang Cheng had no choice but to stop. He turned around and handed his hand to her.
Then, with lightning speed, A Silly Cutie put a golden ring on his finger bone.
“There, I’ve repaid you. From now on, I can eat and sleep with peace of mind,” A Silly Cutie said, looking at the ring on Jiang Cheng’s finger bone. The corners of her eyes instantly narrowed into crescents as her delicate face revealed an excited smile.
“This trick again.” Looking at the Dragon-Slaying Divine Ring that had quickly shrunk and was stuck on his ring finger bone, Jiang Cheng spread his hands, feeling a bit speechless.
When he saw A Silly Cutie pick up this ring earlier, she didn’t hand it to him, so he thought she liked it and wanted to use it herself.
Therefore, Jiang Cheng didn’t say anything and considered it a gift to her.
He didn’t expect this silly girl to play this trick on him again. Although he had already vaguely guessed it when he stretched out his hand, he still didn’t expose her.
“Seems like you’re not silly either.” Jiang Cheng pinched her little nose.
“Hehe.” A Silly Cutie wrinkled her nose. “When have I ever been silly? It’s Skeleton Big Brother who’s dumb, hmph.”
Jiang Cheng laughed and took out a Strong Body Art manual, handing it to her. “Learn this, then go to the guild shop and buy some Warformation Scrolls.”
“The Warformation Scrolls in a level 1 guild shop can temporarily increase the attack and defense of all guild members by 10%. These scrolls are limited daily, so buy them early and stock up.”
“By the way, learn Regeneration and Meditation too.”
“Uh…but…Skeleton Big Brother, it seems we’re out of gold coins,” A Silly Cutie said somewhat embarrassedly.
“Out of gold coins?” Jiang Cheng was slightly stunned, also feeling a bit awkward. However, he glanced at The Humbly Great Emperor and the others slowly advancing behind him.
“It’s fine, you still have a lot of equipment, right? Set up a stall in the city later.”
“Also, call over The Humbly Great Emperor. Discuss the matter of the 90-10 split for the donations in the previous livestream.”
A Silly Cutie: “…”
“A 90-10 split…isn’t that a bit too harsh?”
