Chapter 18: Even Minions Can Set Traps
After a dizzying whirl, with light and shadows flashing by, Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao were teleported to the “Braving the World Society” dungeon.
The sky was filled with swirling clouds.
In front of them was a gravel road. It led to the nearby gate of the World Society.
The two of them activated their internal energy.
After doing some warm-up exercises, they drew their swords and walked towards the gate of the World Society.
“Who goes there? What business do you have with the World Society?”
The red-clad gate guard wearing a ghostly mask inquired.
Even the minions had lines.
Li Chengfeng was slightly surprised.
He wondered if these NPCs were similar to the ones in the computer games he usually played, and he was curious to test the intelligence of these minions.
“We have long heard of Leader Xiongba’s great name and have come specifically to pay our respects.”
The guard politely said:
“Please state your names, and I will report it.”
“I am Li Chengfeng, and she is Shu Fuyao.”
“Please wait a moment!”
One of the two guards ran up the mountain gate steps to report.
Li Chengfeng checked the other guard:
World Society ordinary member.
Strength: 50, Speed: 70, Spirit: 50, Combat Intelligence: 60.
After a while, the guard returned:
“The leader invites the two heroes up for tea. Please follow me.”
Li Chengfeng was taken aback.
This actually worked! Could they avoid fighting the guards?
The two of them followed him up.
When they reached a small courtyard paved with stone slabs, ten masked guards suddenly jumped out from all around.
Each one held a blade, surrounding the two of them.
“What is this about?”
Li Chengfeng was bewildered.
Weren’t they supposed to have tea? So, it was a trap!
The leading guard also drew his sword:
“Audacious scoundrels, our leader doesn’t know you at all, and there’s no mention of you in the martial world. Prepare to die!”
Damn! They had been ambushed by the guards!
Li Chengfeng was a bit angry.
He had actually fallen into a trap set by the guards.
He drew his sword and unleashed a crescent-shaped sword energy.
The sword energy flew swiftly and struck one of the guards head-on, sending him flying.
The surrounding guards all attacked the two of them.
Li Chengfeng’s strength, speed, and spirit had all reached 120.
Although the guards were numerous, their speed of 70 was like 0.6x slow motion to someone with a spirit of 120.
Even when outnumbered, he handled them with ease.
He didn’t dawdle; his sword aimed only for lethal spots: the neck, heart, and the head.
Swish, swish, swish.
His sword strikes were precise and three guards were killed on the spot.
Blood stained Li Chengfeng’s clothes.
From the bodies of the guards, a wisp of golden light flew out and entered Li Chengfeng’s body.
His internal energy and martial skill proficiency both increased slightly.
Shu Fuyao killed two of them.
Blood splattered onto her face. She couldn’t help but let out a startled cry.
Ah—
In just a few moments, the eleven miscellaneous guards were easily killed.
Li Chengfeng sniffed at the bloodstains on his body. Surprisingly, there was a bloody smell.
One of the guards, who had been cut in half at the waist, revealed a mess of intestines.
Red and white… it was unbearable to look at.
Too realistic!
Shu Fuyao stood there in a daze.
It was her first time taking a life. Having just come out of school, she was still like a flower in a greenhouse psychologically.
How could she adapt to such bloody scenes of fighting and killing?
She felt a wave of nausea.
Ugh…
Li Chengfeng was only slightly better off than her, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.
These were just NPCs. Everyone who entered the dungeon had to kill them once.
He led Shu Fuyao to the fish pond and scooped water to wash her face.
After a while, she gradually calmed down.
The guards’ bodies had all emitted illusory gold coin glows, and sparkled on the ground.
Li Chengfeng walked up.
The gold coins turned into a wisp of golden light and entered his body.
?Money +280 yuan.?
?Money +300 yuan.?
?Money +310 yuan.?
In total, the five piles of gold coins amounted to over 1,500 yuan.
The drop distribution mode was “personal loot.”
This meant that the system allocated the drops, and he could only pick up what belonged to him.
The remaining six piles of gold coins had no reaction to him.
All of them turned into six wisps of golden light and disappeared into Shu Fuyao’s body.
Receiving the notification, she happily said:
“Wow, we made money just like that.”
Li Chengfeng asked:
“How much did you pick up?”
“A total of 560.”
Li Chengfeng nodded in understanding. It seemed he indeed enjoyed a drop rate bonus.
The base rate of 100% plus a 200% bonus made the total drop rate 300%.
Even though he only picked up five piles, the total amount of money was roughly three times that of Shu Fuyao’s.
Shu Fuyao felt a bit delighted:
“Making money doesn’t seem that hard. We’ve got half a month’s rent already.”
“Let’s go, and keep killing.”
The two of them continued to wander around the front yard of the World Society in Area One, killing guards.
When they encountered guards, they didn’t waste words and directly engaged. But among these guards, some went to report, quickly gathering reinforcements.
More than thirty people surrounded and attacked the two of them.
Among them were two elite members of the World Society with considerable strength. There were also several guards on higher ground shooting arrows at them.
The two of them felt the strain.
In the midst of the fight, Shu Fuyao’s left arm was grazed by a flying arrow.
Li Chengfeng, enraged, fought with all his might, his eyes turning red with fury.
In a burst of power, he swung his long sword, unleashing a semi-transparent, dark sword energy.
Whoosh—
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Several continuous sword energies flew towards the archers.
At his current level, it usually took about 5 seconds to gather energy to release a single sword energy. However, with his dual internal energy cores, it didn’t take him that long to gather energy.
Out of the five archers, three were hit by the sword energy and severely injured.
After a fierce battle, they finally annihilated the group of guards.
