BXBX NOVEL Chapter 385 "Ah~ Such A Pity~"
A while later, everyone gathered around for a meal.
David put down his beer can and said, "The place I went to seemed to be a small town in South America. Guess what? The town was completely deserted, with nothing in it. At night, two witches came. They claimed to be servants of some Quetzalcoatl god and demanded our submission, or else something would happen."
At this point, he took a sip of beer and continued, "The funny thing is, none of us believe in such nonsense. I bet those two are just fallen ones, playing tricks on us. We caught one of them immediately, and let the other one go back to bring the ransom."
"You\'re always thinking about making money no matter where you go."
Mike laughed and cursed, "What happened next?"
"Next, we were not fools either. We had heard of some extremist organizations worshiping zombies as gods, so we immediately started setting traps. Guess what? Over twenty more witches came. They said their master needed fifty live human hearts and brains for a sacrifice, or else a disaster would fall upon us. Hearing that, we immediately caught them all, let one go again, and gave her an ultimatum: bring the ransom or we rip up the tickets!"
"Good~"Everyone gave a thumbs up at the same time.
Ming was also impressed, maybe he could try this tactic next time.
"Then what?" Mike was excited and took a sip of his beer.
David continued, "Then... the Quetzalcoatl god came. Indeed, we guessed wrong. It wasn\'t a zombie. Instead, it had a snake\'s head, a human upper body, and from the waist down, it was a snake. Its entire body was covered in feathers. Seeing it, we were amused. It was a bona fide imperial-level aberrant. We pretended to submit, and once it triggered our trap, we gave it a good beating. In the end, the transition failed, and we killed it. Look, this ring came from it~"
After saying that, he took out a ring from his pocket. It was a golden circle inlaid with a large purple-blue gemstone. After waving it in front of everyone, he immediately put it away.
"..."
He put it away so quickly - was he afraid we would rob him?
David laughed, "These self-proclaimed gods, they\'re probably another group of fallen ones. But, they had more backbone than the ones we caught earlier. They didn\'t give in until the very end."
Alan, holding a beer can, said, "I didn\'t encounter anything strange with the Tree Man. What\'s with your gazes? Let me tell you, we absolutely did not hold hands~"
Hawkins chuckled, "It\'s purely because of deep brotherhood that we ended up together."
"Such a pity~" Mike shook his head and sighed.
"Indeed~"
Hawkins lamented with regret.
Actually, the significance of this meal was that everyone present knew that the others were still alive and were at ease. Of course, the Snake Woman and Fire Woman\'s intention to introduce Ming to a potential wife was ruthlessly rejected by him, as he only believes in love and not in arranged marriages.
"What about the raiders we caught?" Ming asked.
"Don\'t worry. They were all locked up in prison before the teleportation. I just went to check. The return point after teleportation was consistent, they ended up back in prison, but it seems like there are fewer people. They probably died during the random teleportation."
After Hawkins finished speaking, he added, "Even if their drop points weren\'t the same, they couldn\'t escape. I\'ve already marked them with the special sign of 109 on their necks. Other regions wouldn\'t dare to take them in."
"That\'s good. Lend me a batch of them when I need them."
"Feel free to use them. We don\'t need to spend any money on them anyway."
After the meal, everyone went their separate ways. Ming went home, fed everyone in the house, and then came to the grassland.
On the grassland, not far from the mine, there was an empty area designated for the church. Adrive, the architectural designer from the Gutmann Group\'s architectural firm, was standing there, sketching and drawing in his notebook.
"This guy, quite diligent~"
Ming turned his head and saw Russel hanging upside down from a large tree near the mine. Not far from the rest area, Clos was sewing a pair of pants for Kyomoto Jiro, who was standing still.
The alligator pig was rooting around nearby, grunting and humming. Goodness, it seems like it had adopted all the traits of a pig. It truly didn\'t regard itself as a crocodile.
"Shush~"
Seeing the boss walking over, Clos raised her finger to her lips, signaling him to be quiet.
She then pointed to Russel hanging on the tree, whispering, "Boss, your friend has been keeping watch for three nights. He just went to rest... he\'s a nice person~"
"Hmm~"
Ming tiptoed over and sat down. Suddenly, he turned to look at Clos, who was sewing Kyomoto Jiro\'s pants, "Three days and nights? You...you\'ve been here for three days and nights?"
"Yes~"
Clos didn\'t lift her head, threading the needle.
"You weren\'t teleported randomly?"
"No~"
Finally, Clos raised her head, looking at her boss with an expression full of surprise, and gently laughed, "Maybe it\'s because I\'m so beautiful, that\'s why I wasn\'t teleported~"
"~~"
Ming leaned back in his chair, looking at the woman, "I noticed that your skin has gotten thicker recently. Try being a bit more modest~"
"It\'s all because of your influence." Clos pushed the needle down and pulled it up.
"~"
Whack~
Ming raised his hand, lightly patting the back of Clos\' head. This woman was really annoying.
Rubbing her head, the woman said, "Not just me, your architect, Adrive, wasn\'t teleported either."
"~~"
Ming was stunned for a moment, what?
He couldn\'t understand why...were they all bugs? That shouldn\'t be...he realized, perhaps only a part of the people were teleported randomly, while others were not.
"I\'m off~ When Schneider and the others come, tell them that I probably won\'t be here for a few days. As a secretary, supervise them for me."
"Boss, take care, I won\'t see you off~"
"~"
Ming activated the teleporter and left. On the grassland, the woman with the needle watched him go, her attention drifting for a moment.
[Puppet Kyomoto Jiro stared at the woman... Hey, woman, the needle\'s pricking me...]
[…]
...
1521.
After arriving, Ming first checked his home and found everything to be normal. He then went to the earthworm farm and found that many earthworms had come back to life, with a majority being at the King level and more than ten at the Emperor level. The most important thing was that the two segments of Epic level hadn\'t shown any signs of life yet, he hoped they could survive.
After inspecting the farm, he returned to 109. It was already dark, and he looked at the squirrel still hanging on the spider web, shaking his head, "Ah~ such a pity~"
Next, he threw out a tent in the yard, closed the tent door, and lit a campfire inside the tent. He took out the undetermined Seth\'s staff, thrusting it into the center of the ground, using it to replace the steel pipe. He then summoned Raoul and Frank, telling them, "I promise you that I will fulfill the promise I made to you."
After that, he let out Selena, "Dance~"
[Puppets Raoul and Frank... sat on the ground at the same time... admiring the art with an aesthetic eye...]
[…]
Ming took out a sofa, leaned on it, and inspected his loot. The crown obtained by Merlin was also undetermined. It seems that Da Vinci is the most reliable when it comes to stripping helpers.
He quickly glanced at the chest armor, arm guards, waist guards, and leg guards collected by Da Vinci. They were all good items, worth keeping for fusion. Then, he checked the talent obtained by the big stripping helper:
[Divine Might: After learning, you too will possess divine might and will no longer fear the divine might of other gods. Activating divine might consumes 10 spirits, 10 physical strength, 10 psychic energy, and 100 gold coins per second, with no consumption after deactivation. All units without divine might will randomly decrease their combat desire and combat power when they see you activating divine might.]
"Learn~"
With this divine might, his confidence to enter the fog alone increased. There was also a skill that dropped:
[ Sandstorm: After learning, you can summon a sandstorm, consuming 10,000 psychic energy and 10,000 earth element stones. Cooldown time is 48 hours.]
"~~"
Ming shook his head and stuffed the skill into Raoul\'s pocket. After the experience of the warehouse being sealed off, he will let Raoul carry all the good items in the future, so they can be used and retrieved at any time.
Without any other special gains, Ming leaned back on the couch, took out a coconut, and also began to appreciate the art with a scrutinizing gaze.
After all, art comes from life, and this is a part of life. It\'s very normal. The main thing is, he wanted to practice his patience. Yes, everything was for the sake of becoming stronger.
[Your Da Vinci and foodie, lying on the roof, watching the projection on the tent... they are ecstatic, Ming, you\'ve finally figured it out~]
[Da Vinci and Foodie are planning to share this good news with Merlin, but on second thought, they decide against it~]
[Da Vinci nodded in agreement, the Merlin would be very touched, after all, there aren\'t bro as nice as the two of them~]
[foodie nods vigorously, exactly~]
