Soon, a bewildered Wang Zheng was brought to Zhou Jin's side.
"He's just out of mana, don't make things difficult for him, understand?"
"Yes." Zhou Jin had no intention of explaining to him, and he left with a belly full of questions.
"Wait a minute." The messenger called out to the mage captain and handed him three bottles of intermediate magic potions.
"The guild master instructed that you personally deliver it to him." The messenger emphasized "personally," his eyes fixed intently on the mage guild leader.
Wang Zheng wondered which deity he had offended by not checking the almanac before going out today. Why would the guild leader value a lone wolf mage so much that he would risk offending him, even though he was the mage's subordinate?
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, the leader of the mage guild quietly slipped a pack of cigarettes into the messenger's hand.
At the same time, he secretly moved closer to the messenger and asked, "Give me a hint, what's his background?"
Seeing the mage leader's unfriendly expression, he seemed still unwilling to give up.
The messenger patted the cigarette in his pocket and tucked it deep inside. He pointed cryptically at the man next to the commander: "Those two regimental commanders, I heard they're called He Xi and Dugu Xing. They're acquainted with that mage. See that woman? The one standing next to the guild leader, she's from the Chen family, one of the four great families of Jiangnan. She's also acquainted with that mage, understand?"
Upon hearing this, the mage leader broke out in a cold sweat. "Damn it, you should have said so earlier with such a powerful background! This is so embarrassing for me."
"Did I say anything wrong just now?" He carefully recalled the conversation.
I don't think so; I was interrupted just as I was about to explode.
The mage leader thanked the messenger and returned with the magic potion in his hands.
When Wang Zheng saw Liu Nian again, his face beamed with joy, and he was practically ready to grab Liu Nian's hand and call him "comrade."
"Did he take the wrong medicine?" Liu Nian asked, completely bewildered.
She had a widow's face just now, but now she looks like a madam?
Completely baffled, Wang Zheng greeted him warmly.
He handed three bottles of magic potions to Liu Nian, saying kindly, "Didn't you say you were out of mana? Here, take this, it's a bonus for your team."
At the same time, a card appeared silently at the bottom of the bottle and was handed over.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. You're very magnanimous!" Wang Zheng, true to his old ways, adopted a very humble attitude.
Holy crap, the melon seed shells of the surrounding spectators were scattered all over the ground. What kind of incredible reversal is this?
Some people even rubbed their eyes carefully and found that it was actually real, not just a figment of their imagination.
This stingy lackey, who claims to be the reincarnation of Zhou Bapi (a notorious skinflint), actually gives people subsidies.
This is not normal. Could they be having some kind of shady deal?
Together, together!
Well, some people have already started to stir things up!
Liu Nian didn't quite understand either, but she figured she might as well take something for free.
Liu Nian took the magic potion and the card with him, thanked him, and strolled back to the team.
They were completely unaware that their reputation had been nearly destroyed.
Li Hao watched Liu Nian leave with an incredulous expression. Before he could even ask the mage leader a question, Liu Nian slapped him across the face: "The loss of those five magic potions is on your head! Get out! Don't let me see you again, you bastard!"
That bastard not only embarrassed me in public, but also cost me a card. How can I face myself if I don't get some benefit back?
He treated the members of his small group, who were far less capable than himself, with ruthless reprimands.
Li Hao, clutching his swollen cheek, slunk back to his position, utterly bewildered by what had happened.
They've clearly angered the mage leader, so why can't they deal with him?
The others looked at him with contempt and kept their distance from him, as if he had some kind of contagious disease.
Even the ice mage who was with him avoided looking at him, afraid that the other mages would find out that they were in cahoots and that they would be despised as well.
Whistleblowers are always hated by both gods and demons, no matter the time.
What he will never know is that when a person is very powerful, they naturally acquire connections.
Of course, Liu Nian himself didn't know that he had originally intended to fight desperately, and his hand was already on the fireball scroll.
When he returned to the team, he glanced at the card.
[Summon: Skeleton Mage] (Tier 1 Dark Magic)
Summon a skeleton mage to fight for you!
Good heavens! Liu Nian exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
This person is really generous, Liu Nian praised without reservation.
I decided to learn it without hesitation.
I've now mastered all the skills for summoning skeletons, and I hope to shine once my skill level catches up.
Although a lot of time was wasted here, the situation on the battlefield remained unchanged.
The multi-headed lizards remained energetic and lively, while some of the humans on the other side already showed signs of fatigue.
However, in the eyes of the commander and other large regimental commanders, they were all consumables to be consumed.
The first, second, and third teams were all composed of small guilds and solo players. Their main role was to deplete the multi-headed lizard's health and reduce its health as much as possible.
As long as the commander can exhaust the multi-headed lizard's skills and make them known to everyone, the commander's goal will be achieved. Zhou Jin doesn't care about their casualties.
If you die, you die. If you survive, you might be lucky enough to be recruited into a large guild; if you're unlucky, well, that's just bad luck.
As for resistance?
There are still seven large guild guards around that haven't moved yet. How much of a splash can you make if you're waiting in comfort?
Fighting the boss to the death offers a slim chance of survival, while resistance guarantees certain annihilation!
We live in a post-apocalyptic world; nobody is a philanthropist.
Blame it on your lack of strength; if you were strong, you wouldn't have so many things to worry about.
However, they couldn't reveal it too obviously. Zhou Jin's messenger appeared before Wang Zheng again, ordering the mage troops to begin their operation.
Having learned his lesson from last time, Wang Zheng asked the members of the mage team to cast a spell again this time, and his attitude was much better.
"He who takes a bribe is bound to do his bidding," and "If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way." After drinking a bottle of magic potion, Liu Nian began to participate in the casting of the spell.
It reduces defense against both disintegration rays and increased damage.
Many other mages also began to cast various types of debuff spells.
Some shaping magic also began bombarding the multi-headed lizard.
In an instant, various debuffs were applied to the multi-headed lizard, and colorful spell effects appeared on it in succession.
Melee fighters who were fighting suddenly felt much less pressure, and many found that their weapons could easily pierce into the scales of the multi-headed lizard.
The wizard's Corruption and Sacrifice are both debuffs that constantly devour the multi-headed lizard's health, while the frost mage's Frostbolt can only slightly reduce its attack frequency.
As soon as the ranged classes from both groups attacked, the multi-headed lizard's health was reduced by a small amount in an instant.
However, this angered the multi-headed lizard, which opened all six of its heads and sprayed venom in all directions.
