Lin Xu then noticed the discussion in the classmates' group chat.
Many people are asking him if he did something to Qin Liang and the others.
Lin Xu thought for a moment and then replied in the chat group:
[That's right, Qin Liang and Zhao Tian have been executed by me. Their revenge for killing Xu Xin has been avenged.]
The chat group was silent.
Many students were shocked by this news.
They were worried about Lin Xu yesterday, thinking that if Lin Xu encountered Qin Liang and his two companions, he would definitely be killed.
Even if some people have confidence in Lin Xu, they still think that Lin Xu has a bright future, but at this stage, Lin Xu probably can't fight against Qin Liang and his group.
How come Qin Liang and the others are dead like this now?
Lin Xu seemed completely unharmed, speaking of the incident with a nonchalant air.
Is the world different from what they know, or have times changed?
Can a commoner with no background also kill the lackeys sponsored by nobles?
One student snapped out of their daze and quickly spoke up:
[Lin Xu, how many people does Qin Liang have? Is your island alright? Do you need help?]
Lin Xu:
[I suffered no losses; in fact, I gained quite a bit. As for Qin Liang and his group, there were 11 island lords in total, but their strength was average; they were just ordinary henchmen.]
The student who asked the question twitched his face.
Just some lackeys?
With their new equipment, Qin Liang and his gang would easily crush any civilian island lord they encountered, right?
For example, even if all the people in the class were put together, they probably wouldn't be enough to defeat Qin Liang and his friends alone.
But there are 11 people like Qin Liang in total, and they're still called lackeys?
It has to be said that this classmate admitted that Lin, the talented scholar, was showing off a bit too much.
[As expected of the talented Lin...]
Lin Xu is amazing!
More students realized what was happening, and many cheered in the group chat before cursing Qin Liang and his companion.
Those two scumbags, running off to be lackeys for the nobility, and then immediately turning on their classmates—what trash! Boss Lin is so powerful; he actually took them down so easily!
Many students were curious and wanted to ask Lin Xu about the details of the battle.
But they knew this involved the secrets of Lin Xu Island, so they all put aside their thoughts and didn't say anything or ask any more questions.
These people just kept cheering.
"Boss Lin, now that you've taken down Qin Liang's group, you should have obtained the equipment to move the island, right? You need to be careful from now on. If Qin Liang's master decides to kill you and sends real knights to hunt you down, you'd better run away beforehand!"
Many students gradually calmed down, feeling a chill run down their spines.
[That's right, Lin Xu, you need to be careful. A true knight is different from Qin Liang's lackeys. You shouldn't fight them head-on right now. So, just hold your ground and wait until you develop your strength; those scum will definitely be no match for you!]
[Yeah, Lin Xu, you absolutely must play it safe and develop your strength cautiously!]
Lin Xu smiled slightly as he looked at the students' comments.
Most of these classmates were indeed good people and didn't want him to lose his life because of the risk.
However, these people were unaware of his strength, so it's understandable that they made this judgment.
He simply stated:
Regarding the knights behind Qin Liang and his group, I've already challenged them to a duel, and I'll be meeting them soon. Don't worry, I won't die.
The chat group fell completely silent.
After a long pause, someone tentatively spoke up:
[Did I just read that wrong? Lin Xu, the boss, said he wants to challenge the Knights to a duel?]
【You read that right, I saw that sentence too!】
Holy crap!
Holy crap!
[Don't be impulsive, boss! Even if a commoner island lord is talented, he can't possibly defeat a knight right now. That's a true noble!]
[But the one speaking is Lin Xu. I think with Lin Xu's intelligence and abilities, if he challenges me to a duel, he should be confident of winning, right?]
[How can we possibly win...? The Knights' Island is said to have standard machine guns, organized combat slaves, some with secret weapons, and some even possess supernatural abilities. With that kind of force, can a civilian possibly defeat them?]
[But... that's Boss Lin Xu!]
[Is Lin Xu going to create a miracle?]
In the classmates' group chat, the way Lin Xu is addressed has changed without anyone noticing, and everyone now calls him "Big Boss".
However, no matter how much these students discussed, they couldn't reach a conclusion and didn't know what would become of Lin Xu.
Some people exclaimed that Lin Xu was truly remarkable. If he hadn't been an orphan, but a nobleman, even a minor one, his future achievements would have been unimaginable.
Attracted by this topic, everyone began discussing the idea again.
However, Lin Xu did not see the later messages in the chat group.
After issuing that challenge, he closed the communication interface and began checking the island's situation.
Currently, the state of ocean blocks, fertile soil blocks, rock blocks, etc., is quite stable and there are no problems.
The ecosystems and facilities within these blocks, such as peach trees, ley lines, and schools of fish, are also growing or functioning normally.
After confirming that the basic blocks were in good condition, Lin Xu checked the island's equipment.
For example, rotary machine guns and machine guns in personal storage space.
These weapons are also in good condition; the rotary machine guns are ready for immediate use, while the machine guns can be modified.
With these weapons, Lin Xu was confident enough to deal with Knight Island.
After taking down that knight, we'll use the clues to find Chen Shaojie.
Although Chen Shaojie must have bought life insurance, and he probably can't be killed during the novice period, Lin Xu can still plunder and seize Chen Shaojie's island, causing Chen Shaojie to lose his status as the island owner.
If Young Master Chen wants to avoid this outcome, he can only do so by preparing an island core during his beginner phase, creating a branch island, and ensuring that the branch island cannot be found and destroyed.
However, creating an island core is not something that can be done easily, and even if Chen Shaojie is a nobleman, he may not be able to afford such a price.
Lin Xu estimated that even Bai Qingniao couldn't build a branch island during the beginner stage, but Xiao Xing was very likely to have that ability.
Thinking of Xiao Xing, Lin Xu also felt a little curious.
Since entering the island's world, he had heard a lot about Chen Shaojie, but Xiao Xing seemed to have disappeared, and he had not seen any trace of this noble young master.
Given the extent of the nobles' understanding of the island's world, it's impossible for a noble like Xiao Xing, who already possesses some influence, to remain so quiet and do nothing.
Therefore, Xiao Xing must be secretly busy with something.
Lin Xu felt a strong interest rising within him.
If there is an opportunity later, we can take a closer look at Xiao Xing's action plan.
Lin Xu was not surprised that Xiao Xing did not deliberately send out forces to target him.
After all, to nobles, a commoner like him was nothing more than a shrimp. The fact that Chen Shaojie was willing to send 11 island lords to surround and kill him showed that he valued him highly.
As for nobles like Xiao Xing, they would probably think that targeting him even slightly would be enough to wipe him out completely, so they would naturally not pay much attention to such a "small fry".
Thinking of this, Lin Xu's lips curled up, revealing a meaningful smile:
"Let's continue with our respective plans... and see who's really the 'shrimp' when the newbie period ends..."
