Chapter 282 – Demonsun Ancient Castle (1/2)
West’s casually spilled secret frightened Fatty. Just who on earth designed the game’s plot to be so complicated? One scheme after another, even the NPCs schemed among themselves.
According to Wu Junxiao, the Golden Dragon was the guardian of the Central Dynasty and the only sacred beast there. It must have some sort of plan itself to prevent the other four sacred beasts from taking away the Source Origin.
However, all of that had nothing to do with Fatty. He was only a player. As long as he could earn money, nothing else mattered.
“Hurry and bring me to Sky City. I must see the Source Origin right away!” West couldn’t bear to wait any longer as he urged Fatty to take him to Sky City.
Fatty smiled wryly. This simple fellow actually thought the Source Origin was so easy to get. Last time, Fatty only touched it very slightly, and already triggered a Dragon skeleton. If he really planned to get his hands on the Source Origin, it wouldn’t be strange if the nine Dragon Gods’ skeletons resurrected.
However, this also had nothing to do with Fatty. If West wanted to try his luck, might as well let him. Moreover, West could be considered a strong expert. He would be useful in case something happened to Sky City.
“This is Sky City?” At his first look at Sky City, West was disappointed. The Sky City that was even more famous than the other four major cities was now a barren stretch, its condition looked even worse than some places in the Gobi desert.
“That’s right. Before I became the city lord, this place was even worse than the Gobi desert.” Fatty patted West’s shoulder.
“The Source Origin and the nine Dragon Gods’ skeletons are all five kilometers deep underground.” Fatty pointed at the Holy Spirit Island. “But I have to remind you, the skeletons seem to be guarding the Source Origin. If you really set your eyes on it, you best be prepared for any possible situation.”
“I know.” West nodded. “If the Dragon Gods really died so simply, the Dragon clan would have already moved the Source Origin away, or the God of Light would have taken it. It still being here means that the Dragon Gods haven’t truly died.”
Fatty felt reassured that West was well aware of it. He only advised a few words before teleporting to the Imperial Capital.
When Sky City accepted Fatty as its lord, he gained three levels from the rewards all the way to level 50. Because it had been too easy, he actually forgot about the class enhancement and only remembered after he arrived at the Mountain of Flames.
“Humph!” Seeing Fatty approach, Sallip turned his face away with a snort and ignored him.
“Instructor, you are really deceitful,” Fatty leaned close and said.
“Hmm? When have I been deceitful?” asked Sallip whose eyes swirled around upon hearing Fatty’s words.
“I mean the map you gave me, the one that led to the Celestial item. It’s nowhere near a Celestial item, it’s a Divine artifact!” Fatty practically shouted. All of the NPCs in the hall turned to look at him.
“Shhhh!” Sallip’s face abruptly changed. He hastily pulled Fatty to hide in a corner. “What did you say? Divine artifact? That’s impossible, it was obviously the breath of a Celestial item, I will never be wrong about this,” declared Sallip in a quiet but firm tone.
“It’s definitely a Divine artifact, the Water God Palace. I saw it with my very own eyes,” Fatty retorted in an even more certain tone.
“Not true not true, it’s definitely not a Divine artifact.” Sallip repeatedly shook his head in refusal to believe.
“Take a look at this.” Fatty took out the Crystal Maze of Terror.
“Ahh?! The Crystal Maze? How did it turn to this? It’s exactly the Crystal Maze, how did you get it? Impossible, the monster down there is really formidable, even I and my senior brother aren’t a match for it.” Sallip cried out in shock.
“Can you believe it? I actually just had to pick it up.” Fatty smiled mysteriously.
“Pick it up?” Sallip’s eyes widened.
“In fact, that monster was called Terrible Wang Zhang, originally a God-tier expert of the Demon Realm, then it came to the Human Realm blah blah blah… And then, Terrible Wang Zhang and the God of Water struggled to a mutual doom and died a miserable death, so I simply took the maze with me.”
Fatty altered the story and narrated it to Sallip. Upon finishing, Sallip beat his chest and stamped his feet in agony.
“Celestial item, my Celestial item!” Sallip’s eyes were glued to the Crystal Maze of Terror as if plotting how to rob it.
“And then, I thought to retrieve the Water God Palace as well, but it’s a Divine item! My ability isn’t enough to let me take it, so it’s still there,” Fatty leisurely concluded.
“What? The Water God Palace is still there?” Sallip bolted straight up and started to stride out.
“Instructor.” Fatty grabbed him. “I’ve come here to get my class enhancement.”
Without turning around, Sallip tossed him a letter. “Take this letter to the General Mighty’s estate. He’ll assign you a mission. You’ll get your enhancement after you complete the mission.”
His words hadn’t dropped when Sallip was already out of sight.
“Heheh.” Fatty picked up the letter and chuckled. Since you set up so many traps at that place, it shouldn’t be too much if Lord Fatty gets back at you by tricking you into a vain trip, right?
