1143 Beast Core (1/2)
”Idiot!”
Both Woldemar and Liu Chen looked at Chen Xiaobei like he had just said the dumbest thing in the world.
Ning Yuchen replied patiently, ”The star classification is based on combat power. For example, 40,000 combat power is Zero-Star Patinated Bronze. Mine is 44,000, so I'm four-star rank! Nine-star is 49,000 combat power! That's much stronger than me!”
”Oh…” Chen Xiaobei nodded and asked, ”But your strengths are so different. Can you guys win?”
”Of course! Can't you see who's leading?” Liu Chen looked admiringly at Woldemar. Her attraction to him was painfully obvious.
”Oh, so this Patinated Bronze Captain must be really strong, huh?” Chen Xiaobei looked at Woldemar.
”Of course!” Liu Chen said, ”Woldemar is the prodigy of the2nd Regiment! His rank is Nine-Star Patinated Bronze. With him here with us, it's difficult for us not to win!”
From the way she spoke and her expression, it was plain to see that Woldemar was popular among the girls in the 2nd Regiment.
That was not unexpected at all.
In a place like this where the law of the jungle rules, rankings were highly regarded.
The stronger you are, the easier it was to attain position and wealth. That, naturally, came with respect from other men and adoration from women.
Woldemar fell into this small category of those elites and would be treated better than most.
”Since this Patinated Bronze Captain can win, why would he come looking for us?” Chen Xiaobei retorted.
”That…”
Liu Chen turned a deep shade of red and glared at Chen Xiaobei when she realized that her overstatement stood corrected.
”I was looking for Ning Yuchen, not the rest of you!” Woldemar looked at Chen Xiaobei from the corner of his eyes and then turned to Nig Yuchen. ”So, are you coming with me or not? Think about how much a Nine-Star Patinated Bronze Demonic Beast is worth! Even if I were to give you only 40%, it's still better than working for the whole day!”
”Alright! I agree!” Although Ning Yuchen did not like Woldemar, he had come to Northern Wilderness Starfield to increase his strength. The reward was still above everything else.
”Great! It would've been quite a headache without your sharp-shooting.” Woldemar smiled. ”The plan is simple. I will restrain the Demonic Beast and you will shoot both its eyes!”
”Roger that.” Ning Yuchen nodded and then said, ”Zhufeng, you go with Hu Ben. Remember not to act rashly.”
”Okay.” Chane Xiaobei nodded, thinking to himself that this guy really was not so bad.
”Ning Yuchen, what are you doing? I only invited you to play! The others, especially a particular trash, won't get their hands on anything!”
”My people don't want your 60%!” Ning Yuchen said, ”Their share will come from my 40%. You don't need to worry!”
Woldemar rolled his eyes. ”Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Why would you split your bounty with trash? Of course, that's entirely up to you. I couldn't be bothered. Let's go!”
Woldemar walked led the way, ahead of the rest of the group.
”Zhufeng, Woldemar is very talented. His cultivation is higher than others so, he's a bit difficult to deal with and quite cocky. Don't let him get to you. Don't take his words to heart.” Ning Yuchen consoled.
”Yeah! Boss is right!” Hu Ben nodded. ”Don't let unpleasant words find its way into your heart!”
”Heh, don't worry. That guy is a nobody in my book.” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
”Oh please!” Liu Chen rolled her eyes at Chen Xiaobei.
