Chapter 473 - Munjo Ogre King? (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the war.
Baili Xuanyuan and the Xuanyuan Alliance’s vigor was greatly depleted, and their city siege plan had to be postponed as well. After the Frozen Tundra battle, Baili Xuanyuan realized the weakness of the Red Lotus Knight. He immediately purchased a game cabin and decided to camp for a long period of time.
It was high-tech preservation equipment, which was too expensive for most players. Upon entrance, the player could maintain and improve their physique for several months without going offline.
“Ability Points, Ability Points!” Baili Xuanyuan mumbled those words repeatedly as he pondered.
At that moment, his subordinates reported that two men wished to see him.
Knock… knock… knock…
Baili Xuanyuan experienced how the cabin felt, and the knocks sounded at an incompatible time. Two men, one gangly and one pudgy, stood at the door.
They were Yesterday Morning and Tomorrow Night!
“What is up with you two?” Baili Xuanyuan frowned slightly. He knew of these two guys, they were the infamous Shadow Kill’s Grim Reaper. Despite that, they had still been defeated by Lone Wolf.
Yesterday Morning pulled a chair and sat down casually as he said with a shadow of a smile, “President Xuanyuan, we are so grateful towards you.”
“Oh?” Baili Xuanyuan was confused.
“All thanks to the ruckus you caused, those guys took notice of Codename Lone Wolf. Just now, Tomorrow Night and I got hold of the news that we will be the ambassadors for one of the events.”
“Them? Could it be—”
“Shh, some things are better left unsaid.” Yesterday Morning straightened up and said seriously, “This is of great importance and is linked to the agreements between the big shots. Hence, you will have to handle it stealthily, do you understand? Here, let me introduce you to…”
Behind him, a muscular shadow stood firmly! This man was clad in animal skin, and his hands were huge, while his canines were razor sharp. He saluted with his fist, and immediately, there was a sonic boom. “Hungry Tiger.”
“Hungry Tiger…” Baili Xuanyuan knew that this was only an alias, but he was excited. He held his hand and laughed, “Welcome, welcome. Let me prepare a meal to welcome you, brother—”
“No need.” Hungry Tiger couldn’t care less about Baili Xuanyuan as he loosened his bones and said solemnly, “The main reason why I am here, is not to help you. Instead, I want to recruit that Codename Lone Wolf. He already possesses one of the Berserker’s Nine Great Techniques, the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes. Although that isn’t much, he still holds great potential, and we want to recruit him.”
“Hehe… based on his character, he probably won’t agree to it.” Character Z, who had been listening, couldn’t help but reply, “He is used to living with a status, why would he follow you?”
“Hmph, if he can’t be tactful, there will be no need to observe him any further. We will just kill him straightaway.” Hungry Tiger scoffed as he wrapped his arms around his body and said with disdain, “He only learned the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes, and he thinks that he is better than everyone? You guys don’t have to interfere with this, I know what I am doing. Just follow my instructions.”
“This…” Baili Xuanyuan rolled his eyes, and an idea flashed in his mind. “Of course, and to be honest with you, I have the plan to strike the City of Light and obtain the City Leader position. I was wondering if I could get your help?” he asked with a smile.
…
Outside the Blade Peak Canyon.
Lin Jie, Bu Yi, Baili, and Ziliang were searching for a new patch of soil and digging out the Munjo Ogres’ hair. However, the rate at which the three boys were searching couldn’t match up to Bu Yi’s.
Priests were extra sensitive to souls and corpses, and for that reason, Bu Yi had been called over.
Zheng Ziliang dug and dragged out a piece of saggy back skin. He shivered in disgust and asked, “Jie, you made us travel all the way here, to dig for these dried skin flakes?”
“Mm, collect more of them. We need enough surface skin to form 100 Munjo Ogres.” Lin Jie replied, “The Munjo Ogres mainly stay within the Blade Peak Canyon while some of them are buried outside. Make sure Mechanical Gargoyle is careful with its digging, it has already ruined two pieces of skin.”
Bu Yi blinked and questioned, “What are we digging the skins for? And have you been killing monsters for the past ten over days? Haven’t you gone offline? Your body won’t be able to take it if you continue this any longer.”
“I am alright, I am still young. Furthermore, being in the game is equivalent to being in light sleep. As long as there are nutrients, my body will be just fine.” Lin Jie gestured for Bu Yi not to worry, and he continued explaining, “This time, other than getting the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes, I also plan to get this item…”
As he spoke, a gigantic crown the size of three heads appeared.
[Munjo’s Crown] (Epic): After wearing the crown, you will become the Munjo Ogre King and will be able to command the Munjo Ogres that are on a lower level than you. The effect will last for 1 hour, with a cooldown period of 24 hours.
