Chapter 23 (1/2)

On Earth, there was a literary quotation that said, “Children are flowers in the garden, and thrive in the sunshine and warmth of the motherland.”
In this bizarre world where it was not warm enough, the buds would not grow healthily. Some would wither, some would perish, some would put forth blossom but bear no fruit. There were a few who would bear fruit; but they were wonderful flowers (pronounced “Qi Pa” in Chinese, which means a total weirdo).
The Orc with the nickname “Bloody Hands,” for example, was a typical weirdo.
“He wants us to hand the legendary treasured object to him, otherwise he is going to kill the innocent villagers… Gerrard, what was this guy thinking? Was there something wrong with his mind?” Sui Xiong thought for a while, but still failed to understand how could his brain progressed in such a peculiar way. He had no option but to ask his follower Gerrard.
However, Gerrard could not give a reasonable explanation either. He was also very puzzled.
Being kind did not mean being silly. Trying to threaten them by randomly picking some villagers they did not even know and making them hostages? This was just treating Sui Xiong and Gerrard like fools!
“What on earth do you want to say?” Gerrard could not help asking. “‘Why do I need to exchange my treasured object for you not to kill these villagers when I could just kill you?’ Am I right?”
Ruhr had already known he would say this, and proudly sneered, “You could just kill me, but I have already dispersed my subordinates. If you do not give me your bracelet, they will immediately kill every villager they can possibly see! Which will you choose, a treasured object or an innocent villager’s life?”
He was smiling like a b*tch, his short nose almost bent upward and the sticky saliva—which was giving off a disgusting smell under the sun—dripping down from his sharp teeth.
Gerrard was so angry that he even began to laugh. He decided to give Ruhr a good punch right on his face and send him to back to him mother’s womb, so in his next life—if there was one—he would be a nice guy. Before he made his move, Sui Xiong stopped him.
“Interesting… I have never seen such a shameless person!” Sui Xiong sneered. His intention to kill Ruhr greatly intensified. “Since you cannot defeat me, you want to kill the green hand? Interesting. Very interesting. I can never regain my peace if I don’t teach you a lesson and make you suffer, so that you can do nothing but to delete your game account and never dare to log in again!”
“Your Majesty, what do you plan to do?”
“Give him the bracelet,” Sui Xiong said coldly. “I will inform you when things are done.”
Gerrard was shocked. “What?! Give the “Void Gaze” to him? To the shameless thug?”
“Yes. After you hand it to him, turn around and walk away. Do not turn back.”
From Sui Xiong’s cold tone, Gerrard had guessed what Sui Xiong had intended to do, and shivered.
Gerrard knew that what the extremely evil Orc bandit was going to face would be possibly the worst outcome, for he had successfully infuriated His Majesty of Void Faceless.
After infuriating a real God, this foolish guy even dared to take the holy object inside where the real God existed. What a stupid person. I wonder what is waiting for him?
Kind Gerrard did not want to think deeply on this subject anymore; he was afraid that doing so would only make him have nightmares.
He took off the bone bracelet from his right wrist, threw it to Ruhr, turned around, and left. He had no interest in seeing Ruhr’s ugly performance of deliriously and hurriedly catching the bracelet.
He walked very fast. He did not want to see the tragically terrible consequences that were going to befall Ruhr; however, he was also disgusted by Ruhr.
This Orc bandit’s behavior was too bad to be fully described in words like ‘evil’ or ‘ugly;’ in fact, his behavior was as disgusting as decaying meat. Gerrard thought himself neither a fly nor a dung beetle, and so was not able to force himself to be near a person like Ruhr.
Ruhr was too busy to care about a silly and extremely kind-hearted man as Gerrard. He was totally distracted by the bone bracelet he just received.
This treasured object was exactly as he had been told it would be. There was a powerful magic energy inside it. Looking from the outside, its magic aura was not too bright; as if it was just something an adventurer with a few years’ experience could afford to buy. But when Ruhr held it in his hand, he instantly felt the energy contained in it was rich, or even infinite!
He wanted to put on the bracelet, but found that it was a bracelet for a giant, and too big for him to wear on his wrist. He thought for while, and finally decided to wear it on his neck as a collar. Even then, it was still a bit too big for a collar.
Ruhr did not care if it was big or not anymore. As soon as he wore the ‘collar,’ he saw a white light flash, then felt an inexhaustible energy surging in him, as if he had become incredibly powerful or omnipotent. He became so bold and generous that he thought if heaven was against him, he would fight against heaven; if God was against him, he would also fight against God. Even the grass and trees around him seemed frightened by his boldness, and submitted themselves to his rule.
“What a treasured object!” he could not help laughing aloud.
Then he turned around to his subordinates and asked proudly, “What do you think of it?”
Immediately, his smile froze.
What he saw were not his subordinates who had been with him for many years, but some soft and sticky meat blocks that had numerous tentacles, and were making very strange sounds.
Ruhr exclaimed and stepped back a few steps spontaneously. He did not stop until he bumped to a tree. But instantly he felt something was wrong. The tree he bumped into was not as hard as a tree was supposed to be. Instead it was quite gummy, and he felt as if he were sticking to it.
