138 Despicable Scum (1/2)
”The f**k are you…” Everyone here was level 20 so they were all experts anyway. Seeing Ming Du act so unreasonably, the Archer was turned around and began to curse at him.
”Kacha!” Before the poor Archer even finished his sentence, an arc of lightning shot straight for the Archer and instantly reduced him to ash.
”Right this way then Old Bull...” Ming Du nonchalantly gestured to Wang Yu to come over.
Watching this scene, Wang Yu couldn't help but shudder. So this was the reason Ming Du was always doing those bounty quests… With his personality he would be drowning in PK points otherwise…
Ming Du's one attack had also stunned the rest of the players in the queue as well.
All the players at the base camp were experts in their own right since they were one of the first few to reach level 20. No matter where they were from, they were all the monsters that topped the leaderboards in their home cities and districts. Some of them were tyrants in their own city but even they found Ming Du's actions unreasonable.
What shocked these players the most was Ming Du's high magical damage. Even if the Archer was a job with low health, he was still a level 20 expert. The fact that Ming Du had enough damage to one shot him was very terrifying.
When Wang Yu had met Ming Du in the inn previously, he had taken off his shroud. At this point, the ying yang emblem on their chests was exceedingly eye catching.
”Quan Zhen Sect!” The surrounding players instantly paled when they realised which guild Wang Yu and Ming Du were from. What if the Pugilist in front of them was the legendary Great God Iron Bull??? The players that were staring at Wang Yu previously quickly lowered their head in fear at the thought of offending him.
The stronger players usually understood the concept of self-preservation better than others. Although a large part of the Quan Zhen Sect's achievements were blown out of proportion of the forums, no one wanted to verify these rumours now. What they did know for sure was that Ming Du's magical attacks were disgustingly high.
After bypassing most of the players, Wang Yu and Ming Du found themselves right in front of Court Magician Hubert. For some reason, when the four players standing behind Hubert saw Wang Yu, they all displayed enraged expressions.
”My dear children, you've finally arrived! Your motherland needs your assistance!” Hubert exaggeratedly moaned when he saw Ming Du.
”Honourable Lord Hubert, how can I be of service to you?” Ming Du obediently read off the script.
”It is not how you can serve me, but how you can serve our motherland! I was only going to request that you help deliver some rations to the frontlines. However, there was an attack on the Grand Cathedral in Vatican City yesterday! We suspect that it was done by an agent of the dark forces. Thus, the Church Of Light has sent us four messengers to deliver an item to one the Chevalier camps. Are you willing to help them?”
”Lord Hubert, the troops at the frontline are risking their lives for the sake of the citizens of our great nation! How could I just shy away from doing my part to aid them? Please, let me deliver those rations to the frontlines!” Ming Du passionately declared.
Both of these quests were escort quests. However Ming Du didn't feel that aiding the Church Of Light wold be any safer nor bring him any benefits so he didn't want to accept it.
”My child, I understand your good intentions, however the quest from the church this time isn't a small one! There'll be an additional reward for it if you complete it!” Hubert lightly chuckled.
”Oh? Well, the Church Of Light are the followers of the one true god so helping them is only natural… May the lord be with you great leader...” Ming Du shamelessly replied.
Watching Ming Du interact with Hubert was actually rather painful for Wang Yu. Wang Yu had always thought that he knew how to deal with NPCs very well. However after witnessing Ming Du in action, he finally understood what a true ”player” was.
Wang Yu could only ensure that he wouldn't be cheated by an NPC. Ming Du, on the other hand, could even come out on top after bargaining with one… There really was always another higher peak in the world…
After Ming Du had finished accepting the quest he and Wang Yu walked in front of the four players. The four of them had incredibly ugly expressions on their faces and looked as though they wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
These four players were the Four Holy Ballers of Vatican City after all. Because Imperial Root hadn't been able to apprehend Wang Yu, the four of them were sent here to complete an atonement quest as punishment.
When the four of them saw Wang Yu, although they were greatly enraged, there was nothing they could do. They didn't have their guild with them so they could only cower in the face of an expert like Wang Yu.
Being constantly glared at by the four of them made Wang Yu slightly uncomfortable and he couldn't help but ask: ”The four of you… Do I know you from somewhere?”
The moment Wang Yu said that, the four of them almost burst into tears and silently thought: ”You goddamn motherf**ker! Don't you even recognise your enemies??”
