Chapter 148 The Gambler



The Adventurers' Hall was still packed with people, but some observant people had noticed that the screen hadn't been refreshed with any new quests for quite some time.

The hall was still packed with people, filled with players waiting to team up.

However, the members in the hall soon fell silent as if under a spell of silence, when Liu Nian approached.

The reason was simple: Liu Nian was holding Hogg's head in her hand.

Hogger, whom many teams had failed to defeat, was actually killed. This was a huge shock and drew everyone's attention.

However, everyone is still waiting for the customer service representative to explain the task completion status.

There is currently no team system; experience points go to the player who lands the final blow.

However, the completion rate of a task will determine the player's contribution; the lower the completion rate, the lower the reward.

Liu Nian was unaware of the plans of the people in the hall. Without the protection of the interference mask, he felt a little uncomfortable facing the various probing gazes of the crowd.

For some reason, the crowd parted to make way for Liu Nian to pass through.

Even worse, some people gave up submitting their tasks and rejoined the queue to let Liu Nian submit hers first.

Liu Nian did not refuse and expressed her gratitude to them.

Liu Nian walked smoothly to the customer service representative, who calmly took Hogg's head, verified it, and smiled as he said, "Mission completion rate 100%, claim the full reward."

Having obtained an equipment card, Liu Nian glanced at it; it seemed to be for pants. After stuffing the large bag of crowns into his travel bag, Liu Nian was about to turn and leave.

Harold, the guild master of the Adventurers' Guild, stopped Liu Nian. After a brief conversation, Harold announced that the Adventurers' Hall would be relocating to City A, and Liu Nian could go with him if he was interested.

Liu Nian said she needed to think about it. Harold, seeing this, said that he and his group would leave within two days, and that Liu Nian could come over at any time if she changed her mind.

After the two parted ways, Liu Nian walked out of the Adventurer's Hall.

This news is no small matter; it's practically a tsunami-level disaster.

Leveling up in the wild is already difficult, so if they leave, the adventurers in this city will definitely follow them.

Otherwise, the zombie horde will become increasingly difficult to overcome, and leveling up will become increasingly difficult. In this vicious cycle, everyone who stays in the wild can only slowly wait to die.

Inside the hall, the person eavesdropping was staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

"100% completion. He single-handedly took on the entire gnoll tribe." The man's trembling voice betrayed his current state of mind.

I originally thought he had a team, but it turns out he was all alone.

Someone looked at his back and recognized him as the necromancer who had guarded the city that night.

After two days of fermentation, many people have heard this story: the necromancer who could take on a thousand men single-handedly.

"If it's him, I believe he can do it!"

After a few seconds of blankness, several people snapped out of it and grabbed the busybody who was trying to slip away, shouting, "Hahaha, I won! One to a hundred, pay me back!"

The informant was caught red-handed and couldn't deny it.

With a pained expression, he pulled bags filled with crowns from his backpack.

He just couldn't understand how that man, who had left the city alone, could have completed such a deadly mission, especially since he had investigated everything.

After the crowd left, the gossips in the hall were almost stripped naked.

At this moment, he was in a state of utter despair, unable to understand where he had lost.

Oh dear, I misjudged! I'll never gamble again!! I'm going to turn over a new leaf!!!

The gossip, who had lost everything, silently swore an oath in his heart.

On the way back to the Rose Hotel, Ruan Xin and Zhou Momo happened to be walking this way together.

"Hey handsome, stop!" Ruan Xin recognized Liu Nian at a glance and his loud voice rang out in the street!

It's definitely not calling me. Handsome and I are not related, especially since I'm wrapped in gauze now.

Liu Nian didn't turn back after thinking about this, and continued walking forward.

Until the two people behind him rushed over and stood in front of Liu Nian, blocking his way.

Seeing the questioning looks in their eyes, Liu Nian pointed to himself: "Where am I handsome?"

The two exchanged a glance and rolled their eyes simultaneously.

Their eyes conveyed the same message: straight men, hopeless!

"It's undeniable that there were some setbacks, but there's still some composure," Ruan Xin argued earnestly.

Thank you!

"Next time, please use 'very profound' to describe a man in his thirties like me," Liu Nian said, expressing her dissatisfaction with Ruan Xin's words.

"Depth? You?? Why don't you come to my room tonight and see what depth it is?" Ruan Xin smiled with a malicious grin.

Zhou Momo, still adding fuel to the fire, said coolly, "Why don't you invite your exotic lover along?"

Exotic lovers? What the heck? Vampires?

Are you out of your mind?!

Liu Nian broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of her.

"She's sleeping."

(This space can also be considered a place to rest!)

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so slender yet have such stamina!" Ruan Xin, who was standing next to him, had excellent comprehension skills and loved watching the fun. He grinned mischievously.

What kind of twisted logic is this?

After a moment's thought, I suddenly realized.

Ruan Xin, you fujoshi!

Liu Nian distanced herself from Ruan Xin with disgust, as if she were avoiding something unclean.

Ruan Xin laughed heartily, "You old-fashioned man, what a pity."

"If you were ten years younger..."

“Then I’m definitely afraid of you!” Liu Nian chimed in.

"Hehehehehehe, indeed, hahaha!" Ruan Xin seemed to have thought of something happy, and laughed all the way.

"Will you go to the city?" Zhou Momo asked after a few jokes.

"Yes, I'll leave as soon as I'm done packing," Liu Nian said casually as she walked.

"So rushed?" the two women asked in unison.

"Otherwise what? Don't expect me to wait for you!" Liu Nian adopted a defiant and unyielding attitude.

"What a heartless man," Ruan Xin said to Liu Nian.

Liu Nian shrugged indifferently and did not answer.

On the way back, the two tacitly refrained from asking Liu Nian what had happened. Because of the alliance between the city lord and Chen Ling, Chen Ling also revealed a little about what had happened in the mass grave to the two of them.

Li Ya, the security captain who went with him to the mass grave, went completely insane and there was no cure.

Li Ya and his family are now in a state of collapse. All the burdens of life used to fall on his shoulders, but now the pillar of the family has collapsed. Although the city lord promised to treat them well, their quality of life can never return to what it used to be.

Moreover, none of the sixteen skilled fighters that Young City Lord He Xi brought with him returned.

So Liu Nian was able to escape with his life, which was purely due to the good deeds of his ancestors.

As for Liu Nian's eyes, Wu Qiong had told him that there was no hope of restoring his sight.

Let's not dwell on the past. Ruan Xin is just easygoing, not stupid.

After hearing He Xi's words, everyone unanimously concluded that it disappeared on its own after the energy of the sacrifice was exhausted.

As for being killed by human intervention? You're kidding me. This group was considered the elite force of the World Society, and they couldn't even handle them. What use would it be to send more of the other small fry?

Moreover, even seeing His appearance requires a judgment; failure means death. At this stage, who can kill Him?

Similarly, the Eye of Truth's influence within the World Society has been completely eradicated, and now the entire World Society's security personnel are closely searching for anyone associated with the Eye of Truth.

All the work, both inside and outside the office, fell on He Zhi's shoulders. He's been incredibly busy these past two days and hasn't had a chance to rest.
