GOR Chapter 165: Fearless War Axe
Chen Xiaolian rode on the afternoon train back to Jinling (Nanjing).
Before leaving, he had considered leaving some money for Da Gang. However, he recalled how Da Gang had rejected the money he gave the day before… thus, Chen Xiaolian decided against it. Despite his dim-witted appearance, Da Gang was a very assertive person. With his strong level of self-esteem, Chen Xiaolian’s attempt to give him money may end up being seen as an insult toward him.
Instead, Chen Xiaolian gave Da Gang his mobile phone number. He told Da Gang to call him if anything were to happen.
It was already afternoon by the time he reached Jinling. The first thing Chen Xiaolian did was to call up Qiao Qiao.
However, the call was left unanswered.
This caused Chen Xiaolian to feel a slight unease.
He then made a call to Soo Soo; but her phone was turned off.
Qiao Yifeng’s face appeared within Chen Xiaolian’s mind.
Perhaps Qiao Qiao’s father had returned home and engaged in a discussion with Qiao Qiao. Who knew what had happened during the course of their discussion.
“It seems this matter is getting more complicated,” Chen Xiaolian scratched his head in distress.
Arriving home, he saw that Xia Xiaolei was the only one inside. This fellow was seated before the computer inside the study, playing LoL. Not surprising, he had logged in using Chen Xiaolian’s account and ended up being severely raped. The win rate of the account fell to below 30 per cent.
Chen Xiaolian could not help but smile bitterly when he saw that Xia Xiaolei had, in merely two days’ time garner himself an infamous nickname:
Nicknamed: Prince of Feeders. [1]
…
In a certain location, Han Bi dragged his exhausted figure out from a stretch of forest.
There were some scars on his face, especially on his eyebrows. A scar had cut his thick, brush like eyebrows apart.
Han Bi slumped onto the ground and exhaled.
[System prompt: This instance dungeon quest ended in failure. You will receive system punishment. System will perform calculations based on the performance of the participants. Now arranging the entry time for the punishment instance dungeon.]
“A failure…” Han Bi leaned his back onto a tree.
Pulling out a cigarette, he shakily lit it up – his arms and legs were trembling.
“After leaving the group, I can no longer do anything?” Han Bi raised his head up and looked at the grey skies in dismay. “I will not accept that! I will never accept that!”
As he continued trembling, he swallowed a Healing Type Beast Blood. After a moment, Han Bi slowly stood up, determined his location and stumbled away.
“I will not accept it!”
…
In the airport, Lun Tai and Bei Tai walked out side by side, a pair of sunglasses on both their faces. Both of them carried only a simple backpack behind them. They had no other luggage with them.
Walking out from the airport, they saw Chen Xiaolian and Xia Xiaolei standing by the exit, waving toward them.
“Did you enjoy yourselves?” Chen Xiaolian looked at Lun Tai. Lun Tai curled the corners of his lips and laughed. “It is a pity you did not go. Even if you have Qiao Qiao and you do not want to look for a woman, you can always have fun in the casino.”
Chen Xiaolian shook his head. “I am not fond of those things.”
Bei Tai had already reached out and placed his arms over Xia Xiaolei’s neck like a hook and laughed out. “Little kid, next time, I will bring you together so you can get a taste!”
“Do not teach a kid those dirty stuff. He has yet to come of age,” Chen Xiaolian laughed and pulled Xia Xiaolei back.
Bei Tai looked around for a while and asked. “Where are the others? Haven’t Roddy returned?”
“No,” Chen Xiaolian frowned. “I cannot reach his phone. Who knows what the Hell he is up to.”
“Where is your girlfriend?”
Lun Tai looked at Chen Xiaolian.
Chen Xiaolian pursed his lips and answered. “There is something going on at her home.”
Noting Chen Xiaolian’s hollow answer, Lun Tai smiled and slapped his shoulder. “Let us go. This is your neck of the woods. The accommodation and lodgings of us two brothers will be on you. Oh, right. This time’s Las Vegas trip, we ended up blowing away all our money. After buying the ticket, we do not even have enough money to eat instant noodles.”
Chen Xiaolian laughed. “Let us go. I will bring you guys for a feast.”
…
Both Lun Tai and Bei Tai also came to stay in Chen Xiaolian’s home.
During the next one and a half days, the four young adults lived under one roof. Frankly though, there was nothing for them to do.
The only thing they did was drink alcohol and play some games.
On the evening of the second day, Lun Tai and Chen Xiaolian engaged in a discussion.
“We cannot simply hang around like this. We would be wasting this time,” Lun Tai sighed. “We had to put our lives on the line to fight and kill in order to survive the instance dungeons. Could it be simply for the sake of drinking and playing games every day?”
Chen Xiaolian’s expression remained calm. “What do you mean?”
“We should take advantage of this time,” Lun Tai said in a serious tone. “Last time, you mentioned that we would be establishing a base…”
Chen Xiaolian sighed.
Truth be told, this matter was constantly in his mind.
The matter with Qiao Yifeng had thoroughly shocked him.
Unquestionably, the guild that Qiao Yifeng was part of possessed a high level of strength. Everything that the super wealthy Qiao Yifeng possessed actually belonged to the guild. Their execution of this matter was truly masterful!
In fact, what Chen Xiaolian had thought of doing happened to resemble the path taken by Qiao Yifeng’s guild. However, he had not taken into account the issue of having an agent. He had intended to do it himself.
Presently though, he came to realize that things were not so simple.
First was the question of money!
Chen Xiaolian was not a poor person. The amount of royalties he received each month would go into the five-digits – compared to his peers, he could be considered a little plutocrat.
However, in order to establish a base of that magnitude, that amount of money could barely count as a drop in the bucket.
“There are many usages to a base of operations. First, we will be able to use the time not spent in instance dungeons for training.
“We do not necessarily have to depend entirely on the system for the enhancement of our body and the attributes of the body. Even among ordinary people, there will be a huge disparity in battle strength between one with a robust and healthy body and one with weak body.
“Although we Awakened can enhance our bodies through the system, the price for that is very high. The various body enhancing medicinal substances, equipment and training skills require a hefty amount of points.
