Chen Shaojie's fists and feet kept falling, hitting Wang En's face and body.
Wang En's nose was bleeding from the beating, and his eye socket was bruised.
Chen Shaojie's men watched this scene in silence, as if they were already used to it.
Wang En remained silent and composed throughout, neither dodging nor defending himself, allowing Chen Shaojie to beat him.
After Chen Shaojie had vented his anger for a while, the young master finally stopped, panting heavily, his eyes fixed on Wang En:
"Wang En, what do you think we should do next to deal with Lin Xu?"
Wang En did not wipe the blood from his face, but said in a deep voice:
"Lin Xu's firepower is too strong; even a human wave tactic would be difficult to use effectively. We need specialized defensive weapons, and ideally, we should also have ultra-long-range weapons to attack from within their range."
Chen Shaojie's face twitched:
"Forging ultra-long-range weapons is too difficult; I don't have any on hand right now. But I can give you defensive equipment. I can provide you with 10 knight squires, as well as alloy floating shields and heavy mechanical armor. I can also give you 5 heavy artillery pieces. Are you confident you can take down that Lin Xu?"
Wang En's eyes lit up when he heard about this equipment:
"With these weapons, I'm sure I can take down that Lin Xu and wash away the shame of defeat!"
"snort!"
Chen Shaojie waved his hand and said coldly:
"I hope you can keep your word! If you fail again this time, it won't be as simple as just losing your knighthood!"
Wang En:
"If I am still defeated, I would rather die a glorious death!"
Chen Shaojie:
"If you lose to a civilian twice in a row, you will have no honor whatsoever, even if you die in battle!"
Wang En's face twitched, but he stopped arguing and continued kneeling on the ground.
Chen Shaojie's eyebrows twitched:
Is there anything else?
Wang En:
“Young Master, I lost the family heirloom parchment when I was attacked. I just discovered that someone else has obtained the parchment, and it must have been Lin Xu who made it.”
"A parchment scroll? My ancestral treasure map!"
Chen Shaojie screamed in alarm, then his expression turned furious. He lunged at Wang En again and kicked him.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"That's a scroll that has been passed down through nine generations of my family!"
"I gave you the thing! And you still managed to lose it!"
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
This time, Chen Shaojie went even further, kicking Wang En repeatedly in the lower back and punching him in the nose.
After a while, Wang En groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly indicating that he had been beaten and was bleeding internally.
But Chen Shaojie still didn't stop.
He beat Wang En until Wang En looked ashen and exhausted, as if he was about to die, before finally venting his emotions and stopping, panting heavily.
"Damn Lin Xu! That guy's luck is just so good! He casually ruined my plan to build the White Bluebird, and he's still alive and well without any consequences!"
"He's actually developed the island to this extent, and obtained my inheritance scroll so easily? Is he some kind of chosen one?!"
"What right does a mere commoner have to do this?!"
Chen Shaojie gritted his teeth in hatred, took out a handkerchief to wipe his blood-stained right hand, and then glanced indifferently at Wang En:
"You're not dead yet, are you?"
Wang En struggled to his feet, his face pale, but he merely nodded slightly, expressionless.
"You won't die for now, young master."
Chen Shaojie casually tossed out a bottle of medicine:
"This is a high-grade healing medicine. Drink it, then lead your men out and capture that Lin Xu!"
"It would be best if we could retrieve the inheritance scroll, but if we can't, we'll just destroy it. Anyway, who knows what the ultimate reward from that sinister series of ruins will be!"
"But Lin Xu, he absolutely cannot continue like this! I want to watch this trashy commoner die with my own eyes!"
Wang En took the medicine and drank it without hesitation; his complexion immediately improved significantly.
"I understand, young master."
However, the next moment, Wang En pulled out a thin, golden-colored object from his waist:
“Young Master, although I lost all the other supplies I was carrying, I have always kept this most important piece of gold film with me at all times.”
When Chen Shaojie saw the thing, his eyes lit up, and his expression softened considerably. He snatched the membrane back in one swift motion.
"Great! Another piece of gold film! With this, Young Master Xiao's plan can move forward another step! I can also get a bigger share of the benefits!"
Chen Shaojie squinted at Wang En:
"You did a good job on this. If you can bring Lin Xu back, I can arrange another island for you. Although you probably won't be able to regain your status as the island lord, we can still find a puppet island lord to be the de facto ruler of the island."
Wang En lowered his head:
"Thank you, young master!"
Chen Shaojie waved his hand impatiently:
"Get to work, you're annoying to look at!"
Wang En nodded, got up from the ground, selected 10 knights from Chen Shaojie's team, then put on his equipment and left the island.
In fact, Wang En knew that if he had taken out the gold film first when he returned, Chen Shaojie's mood might have improved a lot, and he wouldn't have been beaten so badly.
However, the honor of knighthood made Wang En disdain doing such a thing as scheming against his lord.
He also felt that it was a great disgrace for a knight to be defeated by a lowly commoner, and that being punished by Young Master Chen was a deserved fate.
Now that he has enough trump cards, he can go back to hunting down that despicable civilian.
This time, he decided he would not be careless and would not let Lin Xu seize the opportunity to defeat him again.
He will reclaim his knightly glory and dignity through this battle!
With absolute confidence, Wang En boarded an island with a knight's squire and began to chase after Lin Xu.
...
Lin Xu didn't know what Wang En and Chen Shaojie had just done, but he understood that Chen Shaojie's revenge was definitely not over, and he might just receive a big gift from him later.
However, as he looked at the island owner system interface in front of him, he realized that he had unknowingly progressed to a certain stage in the novice phase.
At this point, some features from the beginner phase will begin to unlock:
[The beginner area has risen to one-third of its original height. From now on, all island owners can view each other's code names and island names if they are within each other's line of sight.]
[Please choose a code name and island name for yourselves.]
If no name is selected, a name will be randomly generated.
Lin Xu's eyes flickered.
Among the official island owners, there are some pieces of information that are difficult to keep hidden.
For example, the island's name, the owner's name, and a code name.
Only a very small number of nobles, perhaps because they possess some kind of island world authority, are able to alter their own names and code names.
Because of this, it is said that many dark and insidious events occur on the official islands, all of which are accomplished through this method of concealing one's own name.
Lin Xu didn't have the authority to hide himself yet, so he gave himself a code name and named the island.
"I'll call myself 'Infinity,' since my stacking talent has the potential to be limitless."
"As for the name of the island, it will be called 'Infinite Island'."
Lin Xu didn't care much about code names, so he just picked one at random.
