332 Sweeping through the sand capital, two kings against each other
link never intended to let moroes go.
If he didn’t grasp such a good opportunity and let him go, he didn’t know when he would have another chance to kill him.
Moroes was severely injured and exhausted. He was barely hanging on.
Link then gathered all 71 stacks of death aura on his body into the pocket watch.
When Moroes opened the pocket watch, it was equivalent to triggering a bomb.
The dense death energy caused the blood in Moroes ‘body to surge. The blood in his veins sped up without warning, exhausting his last bit of vitality.
[ you have killed Moroes: level 45+(leader). You have received 135000 experience points. ]
[ you have successfully killed Moros Matt and performed quite well in the mission. Killing a key character has a far-reaching impact on wasteland planet. Evaluation of this mission: [ excellent ], you will receive 3 times the reward.
[ you have completed the a-rank Mission [ the revenge of the mandala ]] which was to kill Moroes. ]
[ you have received 750000 experience points, 30 potential points, one treasure map fragment, and one instance dungeon crystal. ]
Other than the evaluation of excellent this time, the reward was the same as when he killed alongso.
After all the calculations, link glanced at his experience pool. He had accumulated close to 3.95 million experience points.
This amount of experience was enough for him to reach the level threshold of version 1.0, level 60.
the game hasn’t even been released yet, and I can already Max out my level at any time. This feels so lonely!
However, Lin Ke was not in a hurry to level up. He wanted to use the experience points to keep the players in suspense so that they would work for him.
in his previous life, link had buried himself in gold farming. many of the missions and secrets he read were after-meal stories while browsing the forum. moreover, six years had passed, and many of his memories had become blurry. The number of NPCs he could recruit was limited, and the scope was also very limited. However, players were different. They could be reused and had great potential.
It was said that machines, demons, insects, and players were the four natural disasters. Link had already mastered the power of the insects. If he could guide the players to work for him, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to say ‘bright future’ in advance, right?
Link had only taken two steps when his phone in his pocket suddenly buzzed.
Lin Ke took out his phone and smiled when he saw that it was manager Thomas.
“Hello, manager, what’s the matter?”
The person on the other end of the phone did not expect link to be so shameless. After a moment of silence, he said,”Should I call you Mr. Lin or Mr. Le?”
“that depends on what you’re calling for, manager thomas.”
There was silence on the other end of the line again. After a while, link heard a soft sigh.
“mr. lin, it looks like we can’t continue our cooperation. you have killed people in the underground black market and the platinum hotel, which has openly violated the rules set by the platinum hotel since its establishment. even if we need a strong reinforcement like you, we can’t sit by and do nothing about your violation of the rules. Therefore, I’m here to inform you that The Platinum Hotel will officially launch the highest-priority bounty on your head in an hour’s time, and your actions in The Platinum Hotel will be made public to the public.”
Link was silent for a moment. Then he said,”In fact, you should know better than I do. After alongso and King Moros ‘death, it is impossible for us to cooperate harmoniously.”
Alongso and Moros had died, and the military and economy of Shandu were in chaos.
As the only one of the three Kings, the good guy Derek would never let go of this opportunity to expand.
as the youngest and fastest rising star in the sand city, lin ke also had the absolute initiative.
At that time, the two would inevitably collide.
Hence, in Link’s opinion, it was impossible for the two parties to negotiate amicably with or without this top-priority bounty.
This was also the reason why link dared to openly fight in the underground black market and The Platinum Hotel.
Manager Thomas was rendered speechless by Link’s straightforward statement. After a long while, he said, ” “You’re right. Now that alongso and Moros are dead, the conflict between us will be put on the table. In the future, both sides will have to deal with each other as they move. As a friend, I would like to say a few more words. The Platinum Hotel’s highest-ranked wanted bounty wasn’t like the one you’d see on the exchange. This was a bounty that anyone could participate in, regardless of their rank. There was no limit to the number of people who could participate, and all members of The Platinum Hotel were mobilized. Since the establishment of Platinum Hotel, this is the second time such a reward has been issued. Good luck.”
“Second time? Then may I ask if the first person who was wanted is still alive?”
“He’s alive, but also dead,”
Thomas’s words were ambiguous. Link frowned and replied, ” since you’re my friend, I’ll spare your life after I destroy The Platinum Hotel.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Lin.”
Du du du du
The two of them hung up the phone together.
As link walked out of the underground black market, the phones of everyone in the black market vibrated.
The merchants and low-income gangsters on the side of the road glared at link after reading the message, as if they were hunters looking at their prey.
Link ignored everyone’s gazes and continued walking.
As he passed Dave’s Cart shop, link caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye. Dave had also seen the message, and there was something in his eyes.
Shock, fear, confusion, and all sorts of emotions were concentrated in one eye, while the other mechanical eye contracted without any emotion.
weng ~
Link’s phone buzzed as well. He opened it and saw two messages from The Platinum Hotel.
[Mr. Link, I’m sorry to inform you that you’ve violated The Platinum Hotel’s safety regulations and have been stripped of your membership by The Platinum Hotel Committee. You’ll lose all of The Platinum Hotel’s special services, and we’ll officially issue a warrant for your arrest in an hour. [from the day this letter is sent, the relationship between you and platinum hotel has officially changed to-hostile.]
After reading the first message, the system gave him a corresponding notification.
[your Platinum hotel’s friendly reputation has been reset to zero, and the changed reputation will be your arch-enemy]
[ Platinum Hotel: arch-enemy (-3000)-[ highest priority wanted person ]
Link then read the second message.
[ link, the hall Master of the Qilin Hall in shadu, disguised as le, killed Moroes, the Minister of Finance of shadu in the restaurant of The Platinum Hotel. He has openly violated the security regulations of The Platinum Hotel. He has been issued the highest priority arrest warrant by our company. All members of The Platinum Hotel and cooperation units are free to attack him. [ if you successfully kill it, please bring the proof to any Platinum Hotel to claim the reward of 30 million Yuan and The Platinum Hotel special service card. ]
link couldn’t help but smile after reading the message.
Since The Platinum Hotel had already announced this to the public, there was no need for link to put on a plain and unappealing face.
...
Link took off his mask and returned to his original appearance.
the atmosphere in the underground black market was rather strange.
On one hand, they were shocked that link had killed Moroes and renewed Link’s terrifying strength.
In the hearts of the people of Shandu, the status of the Three Kings of Shandu was unshakeable.
but today, link had proven with his actions that no matter how stable the throne was or how much power he had, he could pull her down!
With Moroes ‘death, the entire economy of Shandu would be ownerless and the building would collapse!
From now on, only the leader of the underground black market, the old king Derek, would be left in the sand City.
Before anyone could react, another rising star had already taken over the throne and become the new king of Shatu.
On the other hand, Platinum hotel’s bounty was too much!
The bounty of 30 million had already far exceeded that of the top leader of Faya, Augustine Franca, who was ranked first on the bounty list.
From now on, Link’s reputation would no longer be limited to the sand City. It would spread throughout the entire freedom Federation, and even the wasteland planet.
...
Link took the underground black market elevator back to the alley.
As soon as they walked out of the alley, the treasure-hunting mouse began to chirp. It had sensed three special auras.
At the same time, link stopped in his tracks and saw three people not far from the alley.
There was a bone-piercing chill in the air. A short-haired woman in the distance had a dark expression as if someone owed her money.
There was also a middle-aged man with long golden hair and a face like that of a Lion. He was holding a metal box that link was familiar with.
Standing at the very front was an elegant young master dressed in a star-patterned Daoist robe. His every movement revealed a sense of elegance.
There was no need to introduce the iconic figures of the three. They were the North, West, and South Heavenly Kings of the Four Heavenly Kings under Moroes.
“Are the three of you here to avenge Moroes?” Link said calmly.
Netherworld did not say a word. Mad Lion was a little nervous when he saw link and elbowed constellation, who was standing at the front.
As the spokesperson, xingxiu stood up and said, ” ” mr. lin killed taiyi, the shadow, and moroes. we’re just adding three more bodies to the sand city to avenge our old master. We’re here to pledge our loyalty to you.”
Link’s face was filled with joy and confusion.
you defected at the last minute. Your old master had just died, and you immediately surrendered to me. In my opinion, you’re just opportunists. It’s hard for me to believe in your loyalty.
Star constellation took the box from Kuang Shi and opened it. Inside was alongso’s head, which had died with his eyes wide open.
“We’re here with sincerity. After receiving Moroes ‘distress signal, I performed a divination immediately and found that his royal aura was about to run out. A leader with unprecedented centralization of power would be born in the sand City, and my result was on Mr. Lin.”
“If I didn’t know how to divine, I might have sworn my loyalty to Moroes and died with Taiyi and the shadow.” but who told me to be able to predict the results? i can’t possibly go to the mountains knowing that there’s no way out, right? i contacted netherworld and mad lion to stabilize the situation at moros building. at the same time, i found this wufu in the office.”
Link stood at the side without saying a word, quietly watching constellation’s performance.
“So, after my analysis, general alongso’s death on the plane today should also be related to Mr. Lin. I checked the surveillance at Moros building and saw the painter. So, this should be done by both of you together. Considering that Mr. Lin has just become the commander of the shadu Special Forces, the three of us will use our authority to suppress this matter.”
“Are you threatening me?”
Star constellation bowed slightly, her expression reverent, ” “I wouldn’t dare. i’m just helping mr. lin get rid of some unnecessary trouble. I’ve erased the video and dealt with the people who know about it in secret. Now, other than the three of us, no one will associate Mr. Lin with this matter.”
Link crossed his hands in front of his chest and continued, now that alongso and Moroes are dead, the most powerful force in the entire Shandu should be Derek from the underground black market. Instead of turning to him, you’re here to help me. You’ve bet on the wrong person, haven’t you? ”
Star constellation shook her head, unable to agree with link.”You’re wrong, Mr. Lin. You might not even know this. The sand capital’s dragon energy was split into three by the Three Kings, and now that you’ve killed two of them, your dragon energy is incredibly dense, and your fate is not something Derek can contend with. If the three of us follow Derek, I’m afraid our first mission will be to kill Mr. Lin. In the end, we won’t be able to escape death.”
In his previous life, link only had a one-sided understanding of the Four Heavenly Kings. After the conversation with constellation today, he suddenly felt that this person was quite tactful. What surprised link the most was constellation’s divination skills. To be able to predict so many things, she was definitely a high-level fortune-teller.
then do you think that you don’t need to prove your loyalty to join me? ”
The corners of star constellation’s mouth rose. Everything was within his expectations.
“We’ve already prepared the proof of allegiance. Although Mr. Lin had killed Moroes, he still had many properties under him. If they seized the properties according to the traditional way of a gang, it would be time-consuming and could easily lead to conflict and collapse. The three of us have been in high positions for a long time and are very familiar with the business of Moroes group. We also have a group of reliable iron guards under us. Now that the old master, Kohler, the shadow, and Taiyi are all dead, the three of us are the top managers of Moroes group. We can be responsible for maintaining stability and get through the current chaos. Then, we can hand over a complete Moroes group to you.”
This was Link’s weakness.
The three of them were the Veterans of Moroes group. If they were the ones to stabilize the situation, their subordinates would be easily convinced.
Moreover, the three of them had been in Shandu for so many years and had accumulated a lot of prestige and prestige. If the rascals wanted to take advantage of the chaos to profit, they would have to see if the three of them agreed.
Link looked at their levels.
Yomi was level 35+(elite), a rare ice-type mutant.
Mad Lion was a level 38+(elite) pugilist Berserker.
Constellation was at level 36+(elite), a mysticism astrologer.
They were all of high levels and powerful existences.
you can join me, but I have an additional mission on top of your proof of allegiance. Said link, his hands behind his back.
“Please speak,” star constellation respectfully bowed.
“I’ve planted spies in other forces in the slums, and it’s almost time to close the market. Each of you will go to a force and help them clear the mess. If the slums are not unified, how can they reach the Uptown?”
The eyes of the three people lit up at the same time.
he had thought that it would be a difficult mission, but he didn’t expect it to be just to help unify the slums.
To the three of them, although the forces in the slums had some skills, they were not qualified to be compared with them.
“then, may i ask, what should we do with this head?”
Link glanced at alongso’s head. It was impossible to take the head to The Platinum Hotel to exchange for a reward now. There was no point in keeping it.
“You guys deal with it as you see fit.” Link said ambiguously, testing their attitudes.
Star constellation nodded slightly and glanced at Huang Quan and Kuang Shi.
Yomi struck and instantly alongso’s head was frozen into an ice sculpture.
In the next second, Kuang Shi punched out, and the entire ice sculpture was blown into snowflakes and crystal powder, scattering between the sky and the earth. It disappeared without a trace.
P.S. [ seeing that Wanjun stayed up late to write, I’ll give you some recommendation votes and monthly votes as a tip. ]
