Chapter 20 Bellit

Chu Cheng, who successfully got the token, shook off the ice on his hands. After hesitating for a few seconds, he froze Willdon into a block of ice and shattered him with one blow. He walked to a nearby place with the help of a tree. Chu Cheng didn't care whether he was done or not. He sat down and took off his half-palm gloves stained with blood and threw them aside.

Although he relied on the system to replenish some magic power, if it was frozen to such a scale, an ordinary person would have probably used up many blue bars. Especially since Chu Cheng had not participated in many battles since he crossed over, his mastery of supernatural powers was almost zero, and he wasted a lot of magic power in vain. Not to mention that it has been dozens of kilometers from the cabin to the current location.

Chu Cheng now feels weak. The battle just now relied on the soaring adrenaline and the fighting instinct brought by the setting to make people feel excited and stimulated. Now that the battle is over, the explosive power brought by adrenaline has receded like a tide. Chu Cheng only feels dizzy and nauseous. The rusty taste in his mouth is accompanied by sour water. This taste is really not good.

After resting for nearly ten minutes, Chu Cheng's dizzy mind finally calmed down and was able to carefully review what happened today. Chu Cheng could have anticipated the battle with Will Dong, but he did not expect the cause and extent of the battle.

This was essentially because Chu Cheng was too self-righteous. In terms of brains alone, in less than ten years, he went from being an illegitimate child with nothing to possessing the real power and control of the Chu family. He was only one step away from destroying the Chu family. Chu Cheng's skills are definitely beyond words. So from coming to the Wanjie Continent to now, it can be said that every step is under Chu Cheng's control.

Whether it is a plan, a system, or a supernatural power generated out of thin air, they are all things that Chu Cheng has never touched in his 20 years of forbearing life. They have brought Chu Cheng a strong stimulation and made Chu Cheng's multi-core brain work at full capacity. But this also led to a certain degree of false judgment in Chu Cheng. Chu Cheng had no real sense of the reality of everything here.

He never called Carl "Carl" in his heart, but the protagonist. Whether it was from Ataco to Bellit, or Carl's new boss, Chu Cheng always classified them in the way of comics. This was not for Chu Cheng's convenience, but Chu Cheng never regarded this place as a real world.

If you just have a playful mentality, how can you win in a real battle? If Chu Cheng holds the mentality that he will die if he doesn't judge well, how can he not notice Willdon's not-so-clever trap with his brain?

Willdon's battle brought Chu Cheng not this token, but broke the barrier in front of Chu Cheng, and brought Chu Cheng into a brand new world.

With a wave of his hand, all the ice was destroyed. Chu Cheng had completed his mission. He really didn't have any extra energy, so he went directly to the dormitory in the auction house and fell asleep. As for the Golden Hat who had been waiting for news, sorry, he didn't have time to care

. It was night, and Chu Cheng was enjoying a peaceful time, while Carl was busy with the extra little Bro bird.

"Hey, hey, Lima, be careful, it's already calling!"

Carl looked at Lima's cold and selfless method and hurriedly took the tearful Bro bird to him carefully, glaring at Lima with reproach. Lima wiped the blood on his hands with a handkerchief and snorted,

"I'm already gentle enough. It will hurt more if I go slower."

Tatalina beside him nodded in agreement,

"That's right. The faster you move, the less it hurts. Lima is already fast enough. If it were me, I'd be harder than him."

Carl dipped a cotton swab in water and gently wiped the blood off Brobird's wound. He then carefully bandaged it with a bandage kindly provided by the shop owner, Uncle Oliver.

"Oh, I don't know who made this kid like this. They're so cruel."

Tatalina came over with a lollipop in her mouth, squeezing Carl so hard that he fell back repeatedly.

"Hmm..."

Tatalina used her fingers to spread open Brobird's injured wings, carefully observing the wound, and then gently loosened her hand.

"It doesn't look like it was caused by superpowers. It should have been torn open by human hands."

Carl rubbed his shoulders subconsciously and took a breath of cool air.

"What kind of hatred and grudge is this..."

"Maybe I just don't like it."

Tatalina's attention to Brobird was not even half of the lollipop in her mouth. Hearing the boss behind her say that it was time for dinner, Tatarina was the first to rush out, holding on to the stool and leaping, sitting down in the seat closest to the boss.

"Uncle Oliver, give me three bowls of rice first!"

"Okay, okay, you're still growing, eat hard! Don't be afraid of eating me, old Oliver, too much, hahahahaha."

Oliver had a face that looked like a gangster, with thick and black eyebrows, a leather eye patch on his left eye, and a big gold tooth in his mouth that could kill anyone. But he was wearing big pink cotton gloves and holding a pot of steaming stewed curly crab, which was quite cute.

The meal was already on the table, and Lima and Carl also sat down to enjoy the meal together.

"I've already found out what you asked me to find out."

Uncle Oliver took a sip of Treeman beer and smacked his lips.

"The Hunter's Guild is currently in the off-season, so there isn't much work, and most of it is just running errands. There is one job, though, that makes quick money. The Blue Ocean Auction House is recruiting recently, and the demand is quite high, and the pay is high, 500 sky coins a day, and they want psychics, which is perfect for you guys."

"Really?! Then let's apply tomorrow?"

Unlike Carl's enthusiasm, Tatarina and Lima looked at each other and suppressed the weirdness in their hearts. It was obvious that the two children wanted to talk to their own family, so Uncle Oliver thoughtfully left the three of them some space to be alone.

Lima pondered for a while, and tentatively proposed his own idea

, "You can try... but it's best not to reveal all your abilities, it's not safe."

Tatarina nodded in agreement, dug out a large piece of crab, and took a big bite with satisfaction, her cheeks bulging, and spoke vaguely,

"All three of us go? No... don't you want to leave one person?"

"Tata, you should swallow the food before talking..."

Lima's good upbringing made him resist the urge to correct Tatarina's manners himself, but he still couldn't help but stop Tatarina from talking while eating. Tatarina nodded symbolically, and continued to eat the crab rolls with big mouthfuls, making a "you continue" gesture

. Lima sighed. He found that since he met Carl and Tatarina, the frequency of his sighs has increased sharply.

"I think... with our current strength, it is more likely to cause trouble if one person stays behind. It is better for the three of us to form a team, which will be safer."

This is true. In the case of insufficient actual combat power, no tactics are as practical as forming a team. Carl shook his head.

"Isn't it just working at an auction house? Is it so dangerous?"

Tatarina had already swallowed most of the curly crab. Lima took Uncle Oliver's freshly grilled shrimps from the kitchen and brought them back to the table.

"The salary is too high, it's not normal. This plate of curly crab is only 2 sky coins. Working for one day at the auction house is enough to stay in a hotel for 5 days."

"And Uncle Oliver said that it's the off-season now. If this job really makes money so easily, it would be the turn of us three outsiders,"

Tatarina added.

"Outsider? Didn't you say you know Bellit's sewers better than rats?"

Lima remembered what Tatalina said. He thought Tatalina had lived in Bellit before she was sold at the auction.

"Well, I am indeed familiar with the gray area of ​​Bellit, but I have never been to the Superpower Guild here, ah, it's called the Hunter Guild here."

Tatalina touched her chin and simplified her tortuous life experience.

"I was actually kidnapped. When I arrived in Bellit, I tried to escape. I stayed in the gray area for a year. Later, my genes reverted and the owner of the auction house saw me. He recommended that I be sold to Leonard's family, and I agreed. So I am actually very familiar with some areas of Bellit. After all, I only stayed there for less than a year."

"So... are you going?"

Carl looked at Lima and Tatarina who were eating and drinking without any delay, and was a little unsure of their thoughts. Lima's clean and slender hands flew in the shrimp shells, quickly and accurately peeled out the plump and juicy shrimp meat, and piled it on the plate into a small mountain. It's not that he is kind, he is really afraid that Tatarina will show off without peeling the shells, he really can't stand this

"Go, why not, don't forget that the three of us are penniless now."

After quickly processing the shrimps, Lima was finally able to calm down and eat

"That's right, get the money first, otherwise you won't even be able to afford a meal later."

Tatarina picked up the shrimps and dipped them in the sauce, eating happily with oil dripping from her mouth. Looking at the two heartless companions, Carl thought that he might be a country boy who was not adapted to the life in the big city, so he happily threw his worries behind his head and joined in the meal.

No one noticed that Brobird, who was placed aside, was staring at everything happening in front of him dutifully.

The next morning, Chu Cheng got up from the bed and felt refreshed and his fatigue was swept away by the sunlight blowing on his face. This was probably also helped by the current Schrodinger settings. There was a beeping sound from the mobile phone, but before Chu Cheng had time to see who sent it, the system hurriedly went online

[Host...Host, um, you are awake]

Compared with the usual lively tone, today's system sounded a little constipated. But Chu Cheng didn't take it seriously. After all, he was used to the system's freak out whenever there was nothing to do. But today, the system was clearly prepared. It threw a big thing at Chu Cheng right away and stunned him.

[Host, I have something to say next, so don't make a fuss...]

[What? ]

[Yesterday, the comic suddenly held a 10-hour rapid popularity vote, and you ranked third....]

[Isn't that good? You're already in the top three.]

Although Chu Cheng was confused by this sudden popularity vote, he thought the top three rankings were normal. After all, there weren't many characters appearing at this time. Even if Will Dong was included, there were less than ten characters in total. If Chu Cheng didn't make it into the top three, he really had no business being in the game.

As expected, the first place went to Lima. Many times, the popularity of the protagonist of a comic is not necessarily comparable to that of the supporting characters. There is no way. In order to achieve the reversal of the protagonist, a lot of "negative aspects" must be set up in the early stage. It is difficult to compete with the handsome and smart male second.

But Carl is also close behind, and the third is Chu Cheng, squeezing out Tatarina from the protagonist team. The difference in votes between the first three people is not big. Lima can get 300 more votes than Carl. The gap between Carl and Chu Cheng is much smaller, only about 50 votes. But from the fourth place, the gap is very large. The rest of the people combined do not have as many votes as Chu Cheng alone

. The system also said that in the future, comics may hold a surprise popularity vote every once in a while. The first vote winner can get a separate beautiful illustration. Of course, this issue is Lima. This is not hard to imagine. The comic just wants readers to pay more attention to the official media and consolidate fans. It is not a special method.

[It’s okay, don’t worry. It has only been updated a few times. At least it is still in the top three, right? Don’t worry.]

The system was silent for a while, and whispered a sentence

[They are fine, but the host is in trouble... As long as you are not the first in the popularity vote, you will get a debuff....]

Chu Cheng was originally combing his messy long hair. When he heard this, his hand holding his hair stopped

[.... What did you say? ]

[Host, as long as you are not the first, you will have a debuff! ! ! What you got this time is sickness! ! ! The duration is until the next popularity vote. If you are the first, it will be lifted. If you are not the first, the buff will be stacked. The debuff starts from now on. I am leaving! ! 】

The system stopped stuttering this time, Tulu Tulu finished the rest of the words and ran away, leaving Chu Cheng alone in the wind.

"Sick...sick???"
