Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Taking Advantage
Translator: 549690339
Song Jian’s figure appeared on the perimeter wall, looking at the dozens of people surrounding his safe house, his face looking very displeased.
After successfully creating the safe house, almost all of the defensive facilities were destroyed, and the walls and castle were also broken with large holes. Song Jian’s estate looked extremely dilapidated and desolate.
At this time, almost all of the onlookers had thoughts of looting the place. But with Song Jian immediately spending a large amount of resources to repair the estate, more than half of the players were deterred. They looked at the four Arrow Towers, three Catapults, and the tall and thick wall with its Wooden Spike Trap, Falling Rock Trap, and other defensive facilities, shivering in their hearts.
Those who still dared to stay were relying on their real-world status, wanting to take advantage of their power and influence in the real world to gain some benefits from Song Jian.
“Humph, those who play games well must be losers in the real world. 1 don’t believe that he will continue to ignore us like this…” A rotund middle-aged man, holding a green-quality Magic Staff, said aggressively.
“President Wang is right, if we find out his real-life identity, then based on his current attitude towards us, I will make sure he can’t take a single step in Coastal City…” A thin middle-aged man with a slightly balding head and sharp eyes, coldly snorted, and actually revealed a hint of killing intent on his face.
Several people around him seemed to have some fear, not daring to look directly at him, and behaving obsequiously even while standing beside him.
“Yeah, Hall Master Zhang’s River Gang has a lot of say in Coastal City, who wouldn’t give Hall Master Zhang some face? This kid dares to ignore Hall Master Zhang like this; once we know his real-life identity, I’m afraid we won’t see him again in the game, hahaha-” A very fat man, weighing at least 300 pounds, was wearing plate armor and holding a warhammer almost as tall as him, laughed loudly.
“Sun Fatty, as someone from the martial world, all we know is fighting and killing. When the kid comes out later, how to extract the most from him still depends on your means, Lord Yama Sun.” Hall Master Zhang coldly snorted and glanced at the fat man beside him.
“No problem, as long as you all help me hold the scene, even if this kde is a Sun Wukong who jumped out from a crack in a stone, I can still squeeze out some oil.” The fat man’s plump face was oily, but his small eyes revealed a terrifying sharpness.
More than a dozen people were crowding around the entrance of Song Jian’s estate, each emanating an extraordinary aura, evidently people who had held high positions for a long time and possessed a great deal of power and wealth.
These people probably all knew each other in the real world. They casually chatted and formed an alliance, all of them already calculating how to maximize their own benefits.
Those who didn’t qualify to stand with the big shots but still wanted a share of the spoils were standing on the streets more than ten meters away from the estate. They were quiet with eyes full of greed and envy, looking at the estate and the people surrounding the entrance.
Li Ke’er and Wang Qi were standing far away, looking at the crowd with dissatisfaction and anger in their eyes.
“They’re all bad guys, there wasn’t a single one who helped Little Cheap Brother to fight the monsters!” Li Ke’er angrily said with a pout.
When the monsters besieged Song Jian’s estate earlier on, everyone just watched, except Li Ke’er and Wang Qi, who were constantly hunting down monsters on the outskirts.
As a result, Li Ke’er’s level rose to 7, while Wang Qi’s level also increased to 5.
“I really can’t understand why they didn’t take advantage of such a good leveling opportunity. They were completely indifferent!” Wang Qi was still a little surprised and couldn’t believe it when he thought about it now.
To be clear, Wang Qi had only managed to reach level 3 after much difficulty. However, just now, in a mere hour or so, his level rose to 5, it was like riding a rocket.
“Hmph, they think there weren’t enough monsters attacking Little Cheap Brother!” Li Ke’er said angrily.
As a matter of fact, many of the spectators were now regretting their decision. They originally thought that Song Jian wouldn’t be able to withstand the monster siege, as there were so many bosses and even level 10 elite bosses. However, they didn’t expect that Song Jian would actually be able to withstand the attack from so many monsters, which was simply unimaginable.
“If I had taken action at that time, could I have also gained two or three levels by now?” Many people thought like this now, although at that time, they only watched with cold eyes, wanting to see Song Jian become a laughingstock and witness another person’s main line mission failure.
Song Jian’s figure stood on the perimeter wall, looking down at the people surrounding the entrance to his estate.
Listening to their discussion and mutual flattery, Song Jian could only laugh. Even if he went back to the real world now, he would be more than capable of self-defense. To think that they could still scheme against Song Jian the way they used to do to a normal person just goes to show that these people must be seriously delusional.
“Why are you standing at the entrance of my estate? What do you want?” Song Jian asked emotionlessly.
These people weren’t paying attention to Song Jian standing on the wall. When they heard his voice, they all looked up, and their faces turned a little embarrassed when they saw him.
As someone who holds face in high regard, it was one thing to talk behind someone’s back, but they suddenly found it awkward to openly belittle someone in front of their peers. After all, they were all powerful and influential people who usually just ordered their subordinates to carry out their dirty work.
Young man, can we speak privately?” Hall Master Zhang didn’t like talking with people with his head turned up so he raised his volume.
“Leave my estate entrance immediately, or else 1 will treat you as enemies and initiate an attack on you. You have 10 seconds!” Song Jian said coldly.
“Young man, don’t be so aggressive with your words. We are…” The man called President Wang darkened his face, as no one had dared to talk to him like that for a long time.
“How arrogant! Don’t let me find out his real-life identity, otherwise…” Hall Master Zhang’s face showed a fierce expression.
“1,1 think we should leave. Look at the Arrow Towers on the wall…” Someone said with a trembling voice.
Everyone looked up and saw the Arrow Towers on both sides of the wall aiming at them. The sharp triangular arrowheads flashed with a cold light, making their hearts tighten involuntarily!
“I don’t believe he really dares to kill people. Humph, with a kid like him, it’s all talk! I’ll just stand here, let him kill!” Zhang Tangzhu, with a furious expression, actually ripped off his clothes, revealing his chest and facing the Arrow Tower, with a menacing look on his face.
