89
In the quiet and dark hall, an eerily pale hand picked up a wine glass and gently shook it. Red liquid flowed out of it, with a unique viscosity that was not found in alcohol. The owner of the hand moved very slowly, brought the wine glass close to his nose and sniffed it, his blood-red eyes slightly narrowed.
If you ignore the astonishing aura emanating from him, he seems to be living a peaceful and tranquil life.
The people sitting below were like chickens with their necks strangled. They all lowered their heads and stammered, not daring to say a word. Some low-level blood servants in the last row of the hall even had their legs shaking like sieves.
The Shura King took a sip of the red, fishy, thick liquid and said, "Why, no one knows where Guizhi is? If I remember correctly, the A-rank dungeon he entered should have ended two days ago."
"Why haven't you dared to come back and report? Is it possible that you can fail against a mere level 28 human?"
Sensing that the king was thoroughly enraged, and that if they weren't careful, everyone in the hall would become victims of his wrath, a Shura leader quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. That little human is nothing to be feared. I'm afraid he'd be devoured by the monsters the moment he entered the dungeon. As for Ghost Branch, he probably got tripped up by something and didn't intentionally stay away from reporting back."
Someone spoke up, and the others naturally followed suit, "That's right, that's right. A level 28 piece of trash could devour even a newly born Shura baby, let alone a level 60-plus Ghost Branch."
Although the level of the Ghost Branch is not ranked high among the Shura clan, it can still defeat many races if released.
The Shura people had already discovered Yan Yu's background. He was a new player who had just experienced a novice dungeon. He was a human without any racial talents and was pitifully weak.
If people like this hadn't offended them by helping the mermaids, they wouldn't even bother to look at them, let alone send someone to deal with them.
Let me ask you, would an elephant always pay attention to the movements of an ant?
The human race was a recent addition to the survival game, and they were too lazy to completely exterminate a race like this. Because even if they killed them all, they wouldn't get any decent loot, and it wouldn't be worth the effort.
At the very least, they would have to wait until they had gone through seven or eight more copies and had some assets and grown fat like the mermaids before it would be worth their while to take action.
The red liquid soaked his blood-red lips and teeth. The Shura King raised the corner of his lips but said nothing, as if waiting for something. The Shuras below were afraid of saying something wrong, so they kept their mouths shut. You could hear a pin drop in the hall.
Soon, the ghost branches of the Shura King and others were thrown to his feet by two muscular generals, who crawled on the ground and kowtowed to admit their mistakes.
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
Looking at Guizhi at this moment, he no longer had the high spirits he once had. His face was as pale as a ghost, his body was shaking constantly, and he looked extremely miserable.
The king of the Shura clan put down his wine glass, his eyes were extremely sinister: "Guizhi, your mission has failed." There was no need for Guizhi to confess, his tone was very firm.
There was no emotion in the king's words, but Guizhi shuddered violently. He knew that the king was absolutely furious.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!" Guizhi kowtowed repeatedly, blood soon flowing down his forehead. "There's something wrong with Yan Yu! His weapon and strength are very strange. After just a few days in the A-level dungeon, he's already leveled up by more than ten levels. This is definitely not normal!"
Upon hearing this, all the Shuras in the hall were shocked for a moment.
What? A level 60+ Ghost Branch actually lost to a weak human trash who didn't even have any racial talent!?
Is there something wrong with their ears?
Or is this world too fantastical?
You know, in the Infinite Survival game, a one-level difference in level means a huge difference in strength. Especially after level 50, leveling up becomes increasingly difficult, and a one-level difference can mean a significant difference in combat power.
A level 60 player has an overwhelming advantage against a level 28 player, or even a level 38, 48, or even a level 58 player.
But what did Guizhi say? He actually lost to Yan Yu! No wonder he hid more and more after leaving the dungeon and didn't dare to come back to see the king.
The Shura King waved his hand to interrupt him: "Don't make excuses for your incompetence. You know the consequences of mission failure."
The Shura clan has always been bloodthirsty, not only towards outsiders, but also towards their own people. The king is the worst among them. Not only is he bloodthirsty, he also rules everyone with violence. Once anyone disobeys him, there is only one way out, and that is death.
Guizhi was so frightened that his heart and liver were broken, and he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. However, even though his skull was deformed and blood was splattered, the king did not show any relenting look. Instead, it aroused the cruelty in his heart, and his pupils were filled with blood.
The next second, the king of the Shura clan stood up, grabbed Guizhi's head with his right hand, blocking his screams, and then exerted force with one hand, and his brain flew all over the hall like exploding fireworks, and everyone was terrified and silent.
Only a few people had a look of violence and bloodthirstiness in their eyes, staring at the blood servants of other tribes hiding in the corner, and couldn't wait to start killing.
The king of the Shura clan sat back on the throne piled with corpses, his pale knuckles pressed against Xie Si's lips: "I'll divide the equipment dropped by the ghost branch and the contents of the storage ring among you." He pointed at the four great ghost killers with excitement in their eyes.
He didn't think much of those things, so he just gave them to his subordinates as rewards.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
As one of the geniuses of the Shura clan, Guizhi loves to collect spoils of war from various clans. In addition, he was once half of the king's confidant, so he had some resources allocated to him. Therefore, there are quite a few good things in his storage ring.
The four of them locked eyes, refusing to give in. They all wanted to snatch the storage ring, and even nearly came to blows. But after they scrambled to find the ring, searching through all the fallen items on the ground and finding no trace of it, they realized something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, Guizhi's storage ring is missing!"
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused endless discussions in the hall.
"Could it be that he hid it in advance? Or did someone get there first?"
"Fuck, whoever gets Guizhi's ring will get the upper hand!"
"Yes, I remember he finally managed to get quite a few high-level equipment blueprints, advanced skill books, various cards and tokens, as well as 45 pieces of S-level equipment materials, not to mention other weapons and supplies! The stuff in his ring alone could arm a hundred-man squad! And the most important thing is that his storage ring is also an extremely rare S-level piece of equipment!"
Although their average level is above level 60, they still covet those good things. Now that the storage ring has disappeared, they are so jealous that their eyes are red.
Even the four great ghosts could not hide their anger, as if they had missed out on a mountain of gold and silver!
The king of the Shura clan frowned and scolded: "Just a storage ring, and you look at how you lose your composure." He really looked down on equipment and materials below SS level.
His level has already exceeded level 80, and he is on the list of wealth, combat power, equipment and level. Naturally, he looks down on the things that Guizhi hoards like a rat.
"Gui Ming, Gui Duan, the two of you go and kill Yan Yu. Remember, if you fail again, you will be beheaded."
Gui Ming and Gui Duan were two of the Shura Clan's four great ghost killers. Upon hearing this, they immediately half-knelt and promised, "Your Majesty, rest assured. We will never let you down!"
The topic about the little ant Yan Yu has come to an end. Maybe Yan Yu has some skills, but for the King of the Shura Clan and the Four Ghosts, it is a piece of cake and not worth paying too much attention to.
As for the missing storage ring, it must have been entrusted by Guizhi to a trusted member of the Shura clan in advance. It can be quickly retrieved by investigating his network of relationships. It couldn't have been taken away by that Yan Yu, right?
Ha, absolutely impossible!
How could a smart person like Guizhi be so useless?
The Shura clan king's gaze then fell on the fresh blood servants hiding in the corner. These were captives from the previous city battle. Their youth and freshness could make them extremely excited and also bring them the ultimate enjoyment.
"The banquet can begin now."
At the command, roars, screams and cries immediately filled the hall, and the bloody smell spread everywhere, making people feel nauseous.
Looking at the madness below, the king of the Shura clan calmly raised the blood-red wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, his pupils also blood-red.
Soon, he pulled over the lord of the city that was destroyed in the city battle and joined in the madness.
————————
"This is Yan Yu." Song Fa took Yan Yu upstairs and introduced her to Yao Dongxin who had been waiting in the room.
Yao Dongxin raised his fox eyes, smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Boss Yan Yu, I have heard a lot about you."
After resting yesterday, Song Fa told him everything that happened in the zombie copy. This made Yao Dongxin even more certain that the anonymous level boss, equipment boss, and the owner of the Blue Star Equipment Store and the Gold and Jade Equipment Store were her.
And it is speculated that she is at least an S-level blacksmith.
Such a big man must be won over!
Yan Yu looked at the gleam in Yao Dongxin's eyes and knew that this person was not easy to fool. His mind raced as he reorganized the speech he had prepared before coming.
After shaking hands with Yao Dongxin, Yan Yu took the white porcelain cup handed to her by Song Fa, took a sip of tea, and the moist and clear light touched her lips.
Yan Yu was completely unaware. After putting down his teacup, he went straight to the point: "I heard from Song Fa that you want to recruit me?" There is no need to beat around the bush when dealing with smart people.
Song Fa was not good at expressing himself, so he left all the negotiation matters to Yao Dongxin.
Yao Dongxin's expression was solemn and sincere. "Yes, our team has nearly a hundred members, all of whom have talents above B level. After completing the novice dungeon, all of them are above level 20. I'm not bragging, even among all the players on Blue Star, our team's strength is definitely among the best."
"Besides, we are all special forces and military personnel. Our character is trustworthy. If you join our team, resources will be closely linked to you."
Chinese soldiers have always had a good reputation, which is recognized by all Blue Star players.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been eager to join their team, but Yan Yu did not reply to him immediately. Instead, he slowly blew a sip of tea, his eyes fixed on it, as if he had no interest in his proposal at all.
Yao Dongxin, who was originally confident that he could win Yan Yu, became more and more uncertain during the waiting.
After putting enough psychological pressure on Yao Dongxin, Yan Yu finally pulled her eyes away from her tea and asked with a smile, "You are sure you have organization and discipline, but I just want to ask one thing: do you have a guild order?"
"Uh..." This immediately hit the sore spot of Yao Dongxin and Song Fa.
They spent most of the day yesterday unpacking all the 5,000-plus silver treasure chests and 300-plus gold treasure chests that Song Fa had obtained. They got a lot of miscellaneous things and 46,000 gold coins, but there was no sign of the guild order, which made them extremely anxious.
Looking at the two people's bitter and resentful expressions, Yan Yu smiled, her red lips moist and even more charming.
Unfortunately, the two men opposite her were not interested in the scenery, and no one appreciated the beautiful scenery. Even Yan Yu herself did not care about her stunning appearance.
"You don't have it, but I happen to have a guild token in my hand." As he said that, Yan Yu took out a token and placed it directly in front of the two of them.
Yao Dongxin widened his eyes: "!!" It really was the guild order they had always wanted.
After the excitement, he quickly calmed down: "What do you want?"
Yan Yu was ambitious: "My guild order means that I will naturally be the president."
Yao Dongxin said without hesitation: "Absolutely not. Our subordinates will not obey you."
Yan Yu shrugged. "Then there's no need to continue this discussion." She wouldn't yield to anyone else. Even within the fledgling special forces, she had to maintain her voice. Otherwise, if her power was stripped from her, she would be doing someone else's bidding in vain.
She has learned enough lessons about this in the real world.
Song Fa: "Yan Yu, your current situation is very dangerous and you need the protection of a powerful force."
"With my ability, it would only take a few minutes to build a power."
This is not Yan Yu bragging. As long as she is willing to reveal her real attribute data and let others know that she is the big shot who is ranked first in the Blue Star level and 65th in the overall equipment ranking, or if she reveals her identity as the owner of the Blue Star Equipment Store, other players will definitely flock to her.
"Besides," Yan Yu smiled mysteriously, "I have a secret weapon that can improve my strength during the transit time in the dungeon."
She only spoke half of her words, deliberately omitting key information.
Song Fa and Yao Dongxin were both shocked and moved upon hearing this. In this treacherous survival game, improving one's strength was paramount. Everything else, without strength, was impossible to achieve, and even if achieved, it was impossible to keep. Everything else was just empty talk.
Song Fa was the first to give in: "Okay, let us think about it again."
Yan Yu stood up calmly: "Okay. By the way, where are my treasure chests?"
She deliberately placed a large number of silver treasure chests with Song Fa, and then had Song Fa pass them on to his confidants. In fact, she also had a testing intention in it. She wanted to see what kind of character he and his men had, and whether they would be tempted by the money.
After all, when she chooses teammates, strength is secondary and character is the most important.
With her SSS-level talent, even a rookie can be armed to become a master, but if a person is bad from the root, it will only bring trouble to her and eventually become a sharp knife that stabs her in the back.
Even though Song Fa and his teammates are all special forces and military personnel, and their character is absolutely guaranteed in the real world, the survival game is different from reality, and human life is worthless. How many people can stick to their original intentions?
Therefore, testing is necessary.
Fortunately, Song Fa and Yao Dongxin did not disappoint her. Within a few seconds, the entire room was filled with silver treasure chests.
"This is one-third of them. The remaining 2,000 are in the other two rooms. Put them away quickly."
Yan Yu placed her fair fingertips on the nearest silver treasure chest and suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, these silver treasure chests take up too much space, I need to clean them up a bit."
Then, the two men, who boasted of having seen many storms and waves, watched helplessly as an extremely fantastic scene unfolded before their eyes: those silver treasure chests, after Yan Yu's manipulations, had somehow transformed into golden treasure chests!?
Yao Dongxin rubbed his eyes fiercely: Is he drowsy because he hasn't woken up yet? Or is Yan Yu a magician?
He nudged Song Fa with his elbow and said, "Song Fa, pinch me and see if I'm dreaming."
Song Fa was not polite at all. He hit him on the back of the head with his big wheat-colored hand, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.
"Oh my god, Song Fa, you're too cruel. This is my head, not a sandbag!"
However, Song Fa ignored Yao Dongxin's complaints and kept his eyes on Yan Yu, unable to move away.
Soon, under Yao Dongxin's incredulous gaze, Yan Yu merged and upgraded 1,000 silver treasure chests into 200 gold treasure chests, and then slowly put them into the storage ring.
"Take me to the other two rooms."
Yao Dongxin did as he was told in a trance, took out the keys to the two rooms, and took her in one by one. Then he watched her transform the treasure chests in a trance. It was not until more than ten minutes later that Yan Yu put away all the treasure chests and finally woke up from her dream.
Yao Dongxin, who had regained consciousness, slapped his thigh and yelled in a tone of frustration, "Ahhh, Song Fa, you opened your treasure chest too early!"
The items in the gold treasure chest and the silver treasure chest are a full level apart, and the rarity is also different. Ten silver treasure chests are not as good as one gold treasure chest.
And Yan Yu can actually fuse and upgrade the treasure chests. What’s the difference between this and cheating?
Why didn't God give him such a practical talent, but only an S-level healing talent? Woohoo, could it be that Yan Yu and Song Fa are the only ones who are his biological daughters and sons!
Seeing that his childhood friend was about to lose his temper again, Song Fa kicked him away and said, "Go away and calm down."
Yao Dongxin shrank his neck and snuggled into the sofa, continuing his brainstorming while looking at Yan Yu.
Song Fa: "Forgive me, he loses his composure when he gets excited." He is indeed smart, but his personality is really hard to bear.
"It's okay." Yan Yu chuckled, and felt that Yao Dongxin looked much cuter than his serious look before, and it was easier for people to open up to him.
Yan Yu stood up and prepared to leave. Just before stepping out the door, he turned back and said casually, "One more thing. I own the Jinyu Equipment Store in Player City. I'm sure you've guessed it. To repay Comrade Song Fa for saving my life during the zombie horde, I've decided to give you a 10% discount on all equipment above level B."
"Oh, I just put a batch of B-level equipment on the shelves. I wonder if there's any left now that I'm late."
Song Fa opened a lot of treasure chests, and with the rewards for killing zombies and rating the dungeon, he had at least 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins on hand.
Using his money to buy her equipment can not only improve their strength, but also help her complete some store upgrade tasks. Why not do it? This is not her deliberate calculation against them.
Furthermore, if she recruits them all in the future, the improvement of their strength will also be of great help to her subsequent plans. In short, she will never lose money.
