Chapter 335: Debunking the Plot
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Pinewood Forest outside Shattered Frost City, Scumbag Wang dug his nose and laughed coldly at the person before him.
One person was standing in front of him.
With clothes as red as blood, it was the female Thief, Bloody Rose!
Bloody Rose opened her hand and a bright white pearl fell at Scumbag Wang’s feet.
Scumbag Wang did not even look at it. He just kept picking his nose.
“This is an EXP Pearl. You just have to keep it on you and you’ll be able to increase the EXP gained when farming monsters.”
Scumbag Wang bent down to pick it up and then checked its attributes. He then cocked his head and said, “What do you mean by this?”
“You’re very skilled, but your level is too low. As for me, I don’t need this pearl.”
“Are you saying that you’re giving me this pearl?”
Bloody Rose nodded.
“Patter!”
Scumbag Wang threw the EXP Pearl back at her.
“I don’t take things for free. Give me a reason.”
“You’re a powerhouse, and powerhouses should be unrivaled, dominating everything under the sky.”
“That makes sense.” Scumbag Wang nodded.
“You’re loyal and just. When I saw you screaming in agony in the water, I just knew that you’re like me. I understand your pain...”
“Hmm...” Scumbag Wang rolled his eyes. He did not know what she meant by that. ‘You can understand that pain to my manhood? What are you, a trans?’
“I, Bloody Rose, have no friends, and I have no need for friends. I don’t need you to repay me for giving you the EXP Pearl, but I just hope that you can dominate everything under the sky and kill everyone who deserves to be killed!”
“Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!”
Scumbag Wang clapped and roared with laughter, giving Bloody Rose a big thumbs-up. “I like that, kill everyone who deserves to be killed! You got good taste, I like you.”
Bloody Rose was slightly moved. “Thank you...”
She tossed the EXP Pearl back to him, and Scumbag Wang picked it up, saying with a laugh. “This pearl sure is a treasure, though. Got any more? Gimme a couple more, my brothers are pretty low-leveled too.”
Bloody Rose shook her head. “I got this EXP Pearl from killing Dark Wing’s girlfriend. It’s extremely rare, this is my first time seeing one too.”
Scumbag Wang’s triangular eyes narrowed. “From Dark Wing’s girlfriend? Which girlfriend?”
“Invincible Jiaojiao!”
“Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!”
“Good job!”
Scumbag Wang burst into applause again, praising Bloody Rose so much that she felt giddy.
“Powerhouse, Dark Wing is my mortal enemy, so I can’t stay here for long. If we are fated to meet, I’ll see you again!”
Bloody Rose saluted Scumbag Wang, holding her fist in her palm, and then she summoned her Fire Hawk mount, flying into the sky.
“Hold up, pretty lady. Brother Wang still got something I wanna tell you.” Scumbag Wang waved at her from below, and Bloody Rose landed again.
“Powerhouse, feel free to say anything...”
“Charge!”
Scumbag Wang emitted an ear-splitting scream and crashed into Bloody Rose with a charge. Just then, countless spells rained down on her, and the underlings that Scumbag Wang had ordered to hide around them launched their attacks as well.
“I order you to kill this b*tch!”
“Blizzard!”
“Dark Devour!”
“Windblade!”
“Fire Projectiles!”
...
Bloody Rose was caught completely unawares. By the time she recovered, Scumbag Wang and company had already taken more than half of her health.
“Powerhouse, but why?”
“Kill her!”
Scumbag Wang’s eyes were bloodshot as he spun his two kitchen knives around, each blade faster than the other as he slashed Bloody Rose ruthlessly.

If Bloody Rose tried to fight back, Scumbag Wang would die without a doubt. However, Bloody Rose insisted on not retaliating. Instead, she kept trying to dodge his attacks, but she kept dodging until she lost all her health...
She had more than 10,000HP now, but if she wanted to survive, she would need to use her Drain weapon. In order to take her down, Scumbag Wang had gathered more than 300 men. With such an overwhelming advantage in numbers, she did not stand a chance...
Bloody Rose dodged until she died...
There was an undeniable strength in numbers. If one did not fight back or block, even a tower would collapse under that pressure!
Bloody Rose’s corpse vanished immediately. This was her habit; she would rather lose her levels than let others corpse-camp her.
“Powerhouse, I don’t get it...” Bloody Rose sent Scumbag Wang a private message.
“Did you get that? Was I on camera? Did I look good?”
Scumbag Wang ignored Bloody Rose completely and anxiously asked Lonely Perfume, who was in charge of videography, instead.
Lonely Perfume stood up from the bushes and gave Scumbag Wang a smart army salute. “Leader Scum, we got everything from your first Charge to the end of the battle! You looked so godd*mned good.”
“Great, send it to me.”
Scumbag Wang asked for the recording of the earlier battle and went through it. He was extremely pleased with the result and sent it to Hua Feihua instantly, even titling the video, “Flying into a Fury for Sister Hua, All for that Large Snow-white Butt”...
As for the EXP Pearl, Scumbag Wang did not keep that either. He mailed it out as soon as he found a mailbox, and the recipient was none other than Dark Wing.
“Leader Scum, I know you killed Bloody Rose to get revenge for Sister Huahua, but why did you mail away that EXP Pearl you got? Could it be you’re scared of Dark Wing?” One of Scumbag Wang’s underlings was confused.
“What’s your name?”
“Leader Scum, I’m called Giving Up’s Beautiful.” This underling of Scumbag Wang’s was a showy maniac as well. Even as he replied, he remembered to come his hair and tidy his style.
“Go be Fengxi’s underling tomorrow! Such low IQ!”
“Leader Scum, I don’t get it. I...”
“Go back and think it overm, really think it over! Come back to me when you figure it out. Forget tomorrow, go report to Fengxi right now!”
Scumbag Wang gave Giving Up’s Beautiful a kick in the behind.
After he dismissed his subordinate, Scumbag Wang grinned. “Tell me, would I be scared of Dark Wing?”
“Never!”
“Who’s more famous, Dark Wing or Leader Scum?”
“Leader Scum—” The yells of his men made the sky shake.
“Why did I return the EXP Pearl to Dark Wing? Do you know why? Listen carefully and learn this lesson!” Scumbag Wang’s triangular eyes looked around him. His men stretched out their necks, listening extremely intently.
“Perfume, what ploy did the Western Continent use on me earlier? The one with that Pink Girl, the one who looked pretty trendy.”
“Leader Scum, they were trying to seduce you!”
“Since the Western Continent’s first trick didn’t work, they came up with a second one. Do you know what this second trick is?”
“They’re trying to set us apart from within!”
His subordinates were all stunned.
“They want to use that EXP Pearl to start a war between me and Dark Wing. Hehe, that b*tch Bloody Rose was too naive. Her trick could pull the wool over others’ eyes, but with Brother Wang’s IQ, do you think it would work on me?”
“Never!” His subordinates yelled excitedly.
“F*ck me, Leader Scum. I admire you to death. To think you could figure even this much out, I’m totally in awe...”
In order to express just how deep his admiration for Scumbag Wang was, one of Leader Scum’s subordinates actually prostrated himself, practically plastering himself to the floor.
“Although I’m no fan of that Dark Wing, but I’ve given him the EXP Pearl, so I’ve debunked their plot.”
“Brilliant, that’s just brilliant. You’re too f*cking brilliant, that IQ is just ... hot d*mn.”
“I submit, Leader Scum! Following you around really widens my horizons.”
“Hahahahahahahahaha...”
Just as his men were busy flattering him, Scumbag Wang suddenly burst into ear-splitting laughter, stunning all his men into silence. They exchanged glances, suddenly afraid to speak.
“Cough... Leader Scum, what’s the matter?” asked Lonely Perfume in a small voice.
“Sister Huahua replied to me.” Scumbag Wang was visibly overjoyed.
“What did Sister Huahua say?”
“She didn’t say anything at all. She just replied with a long line of ellipsis...”
“Urk, an ellipses? What’s that mean?”
“It means that her love stays in her heart, and she can’t bring herself to say it out loud. Your IQ is lacking too, you’d better go back and practice.”
Scumbag Wang hummed a tune and brandished his kitchen knife, his green cape swaying in the wind as he returned to the brigand nest.
His several hundred followers remained motionless behind him...
...
Lan Youcai, male, 46 years old. Works in the provincial public security department. Occupation: Cook (outsourced), monthly salary 2,200 yuan.
Li Zhenxiang, female, 44 years old. Owner of the Nanning Authentic Lanzhou Shaobing Restaurant, annual income 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.
Lan Daxi, male, 25 years old. Occupation: Student.
Lan Dawang, male, 23 years old. Occupation: ??? Player ID in King of Pantheon: Wang’er. Occupation: Huashan Guild Second-in-command.
When Li Yi saw the information Shen Lang sent him, he was stunned.
He had been curious about Li Zhongtian’s alleged backup, so Li Yi sent Shen Lang to investigate Scumbag Wang’s family situation.
Shen Lang worked as a private investigator in real life, so the information he provided was never false. When he saw that the so-called Deputy Section Chief Lan was actually a cook, Li Yi was rendered utterly speechless.
Li Zhongtian had taken them as his backup without even figuring out their true identities. No wonder he was still only a squadron leader after so long...
After he finished reading it, Li Yi sent the files to Li Zhongtian via Zhang Feng.
Li Zhongtian was nothing to Li Yi. Li Yi had not a single ounce of affection for him, but he was still Jiaojiao’s father, so Li Yi wanted to leave him some shred of dignity. Besides, he had many ways to deal with a despicable person like Li Zhongtian.
When Li Zhongtian received the information from Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng mentioned Li Yi and only told Li Zhongtian one thing. That was the fact that Zhang Feng had leaped from the position of squadron leader to city security bureau chief, all because of Li Yi!
Li Zhongtian’s backup was a fraud, but the kid he had looked down was the real deal...
Li Zhongtian asked Zhang Feng for Li Yi’s number, and cried as soon as the call went through.
What was he after?
He wanted to receive benefits from Li Yi as well...
“Just stick to your position as squadron leader, and never bother me, Jiaojiao, or her mother ever again. Remember, there won’t be a next time!”
Li Yi’s tone was relaxed, but they struck Li Zhongtian’s heart like thunder.
He was filled with regret.
If he had known that Li Yi was so capable, he would have hurried to flatter Li Yi a long time ago. There was no way he would have caused so much trouble.
...
Now that he had finally settled that meddlesome Li Zhongtian, Li Yi felt much more relaxed. As soon as he logged into the game, he saw that his mail notification had lit up. A glance at the sender showed that it was Wang’er, and then he looked at the item in the mail and saw that it was the EXP Pearl. Li Yi was instantly stunned.
“What’s Scumbag Wang playing at? Why does he have the EXP Pearl? Could it have been a mistake? That can’t be right, it says right here that the recipient is Dark Wing. F*ck, that’s creepy!”
Li Yi accepted the EXP Pearl and cracked his head for a long while, but he still could not figure it out.
He just did not get it. After all, who could ever guess what had happened?
The only one who could think of something like this... was probably Leader Scum, right?
