BXBX NOVEL Chapter 151
“My name is Jie Zhengqing, Mr . Wei . I hope we can work well together in the future . ” Jie Zhengqing’s speech was a little stiff since Wei Yun used to be her boss .
“No need to be so formal . ” Wei Yun said with a tinge of bitterness . “My time as a leader is over . If you still think highly of me, just call me Old Wei . Since you have some sway with that irrational man, please take care of me in the future .
“Old Wei, don’t worry about Cheng Yang . He’s unreasonable and unruly, but from what Brother Lau told me, he takes care of his own . ”
“Speaking of which, do you know where Cheng Yang will be taking us? You should know how hard it is to find a place monsters avoid, so why is he forcing us to abandon the settlement? Isn’t it too much of a waste?” Wei Yun asked .
“Don’t worry about that . ” Jie Zhengqing said with a smile . “This place is a landfill compared to the village Cheng Yang controls outside of town . As long as we have the resources, we can build walls, buildings, and even a grocery store . We’ll be completely safe from monsters, and the village is the source of our powers . ”
Wei Yun was stunned . How could Cheng Yang have a village outside Yicheng? There was nothing but dense forest for miles, so how did he build it? More importantly, how did he obtain such absurd powers from a mere village? How did it have a grocery store? Wasn’t it meaningless without farms?
At that time, one of the faction leaders cut in: “That village sounds like something out of a medieval sims game . ”
“Yeah, that’s basically what it is . ” Jie Zhengqing confirmed . “And our powers are like classes from an MMO . ”
“If that’s the case, then we really are saved!” The faction leader cheered . “No wonder Cheng Yang was so strong!”
Wei Yun didn’t know anything about video games, but he was very good at reading the mood . Since the faction leader and Jie Zhengqing were so confident, he could abandon the settlement without worry .
“Ah! Old Wei, what should I do with the prisoners? Cheng Yang told me to deal with them, but I’m not sure what he meant . Should we kill them?”
Wei Yun looked over at the captured rebels, and a dark cloud passed over his face . On the inside, however, he was cheering . This was his chance to regain lost power by becoming an advisor .
“It seems Miss Jie is still new to governance . Cheng Yang was probably testing your resolve, so naturally, you must kill them all, and quickly . ” Wei Yun explained . “You should go even further if you want to impress him . Root out Captain Zhou’s friends and allies . You don’t have to kill them, but at the very least, they need to be suppressed . The best way to do that would be to screen everyone from his faction . If Miss Jie is unwilling to do it yourself, this old one needs but an order . ”
At first, Jie Zhengqing was hesitant to agree . Killing the people that tried to attack her was fine, but she felt that even killing those that were related was a bit much . However, when she thought about Captain Zhou’s treachery and how Cheng Yang handled it, she couldn’t bring herself to say no .
Even though she hated his guts, Jie Zhengqing respected the way Cheng Yang handled the situation . Moreover, she needed to make sure not to get on his bad side, so Wei Yun’s suggestion seemed to be a good one .
“In that case, I will leave this to you, Old Wei . Kill anyone that you feel must die . ” Jie Zhengqing’s decision was resolute, and Wei Yun was happy for the opportunity to prove himself useful .
By the time Cheng Yang and Lau Hui returned to the settlement, Wei Yun had finished purging those close to Captain Zhou .
Then, Cheng Yang led the three hundred people selected by Wei Yu to the outskirts of Yicheng, and then to Copper Tomb Village . He could have taken more people, but this was already stretching his limits since he was the only useful person in a fight .
More than an hour later, the slow procession arrived at its destination .
Everything regarding the territory had been explained during the trip by Lau Hui and Jie Zhengqing, so the process following their arrival went smoothly .
Wei Yun’s closest aids, alongside Jie Zhengqing’s family, had their aptitudes tested then were allowed to perform class change ceremonies .
A few people, like Wei Yun, had the necessary Experience Fragments to pay for themselves . Everyone else needed at least a partial loan from Cheng Yang .
After the initial eighty slots were filled, Cheng Yang left Lau Hui behind to protect the rest . Then, he called Enlai, and they teleported to Phoenix Village .
When he arrived, Cheng Yang wired the necessary Experience Fragments to level up Copper Tomb Village to Lau Hui . Then he left the village since it was only seven in the evening .
His overall goal was to visit Sky God Island and obtain the Nightmare Difficulty First Clear . Although he couldn’t be certain, Cheng Yang had a hunch the reward would be a unique Warrior subclass .
However, before that, Cheng Yang had someone he needed to visit . So, he directed Enlai towards the Cloud City safe zone .
When Cheng Yang rode Enlai directly through the barrier meant to keep monsters out, there was a great deal of confusion and panic .
“How did a monster get inside?”
Most people were too shocked to move .
“Someone help!”
A significant minority ran for their lives .
“Calm down, as long as we handle this together, it won’t be a problem . ”
Those with classes were neither . They hastily pulled out their weapons and surrounded the white tiger .
“Back off!” Cheng Yang shouted so loudly that any nearby civilians felt their eardrums rattle . It was only at this point that anyone noticed the person on the “monster’s” back .
“How did you get a monster through the barrier?” A person that seemed to be the leader of the gathered combatants asked in a voice dripping with malice .
“Only ignorant eyes like yours could see a monster . ” cheng Yang growled . “If Little White were a monster, you would already be dead . ”
Cheng Yang couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time on people that weak, so he directed Enlai to move towards the city center . As long as he made enough of a ruckus, Yuan Jianzhe would come out eventually .
“You stop right there!” Although the person from before seemed to be filled with a heroic spirit, Enlai’s aura prevented them from taking a single step forwards .
Cheng Yang’s guess was spot on . He didn’t even reach the center of the city before an organized militia stopped him . At the forefront was Yuan Jianzhe .
Yuan Jianzhe’s face looked calm, but his entire body was filled with visible tension and rage . How could he not be in a bad mood when his worst enemy burst into his house without knocking?
