.Chapter 8 The Scepter of the Earth - The Bloody Road (Beginning)

I've been busy all day today, and the finances are indeed dealing with each other, but I'm so poor that I'm so tragic.

"Little guys, get up quickly and we have to set off tomorrow after we finish today's work." As Lokas shouted, Chen Kai and his group slowly walked out of the tent. Although the tossing before going to bed last night made several people weak before going to bed, they were full of energy after getting up in the morning.

"There is no new job today. Just repair the rest of yesterday. I will go back to the barracks at 7 a.m. tomorrow. Don't be late." Lokas was wearing a soldier's squad leader's armor while sitting next to Chen Kai and his work, gnawing on a roast lamb leg. But behind him, the two senior knight leaders were holding a fan in one hand and trying to fan the air.

Looking at Locas with a slutty look on his face, Chen Kai had the urge to throw the hammer into his face. But seeing the two knight leaders behind him who had reached level 8 but had a fan, Chen Kai immediately turned his impulse into the motivation to work.

"Smash you, the old gangster to death~ Smack you, the old gangster to death." Fei Yun was muttering while shaking the edge of the weapon with a small hammer, and then slowly polished the weapon with a whetstone to restore it to its original sharpness.

"Don't just think about it all over there. Come on, have a good rest after finishing your work." Locas's ears were extremely sensitive. He naturally heard the small curse sound in Fei Yun's mouth, so a bone of roasted lamb legs instantly hit Fei Yun's head.

He glared at Locas sitting on the recliner with resentment. Fei Yun rubbed his head and continued to do the work of repairing weapons. But the silences in his mouth turned into curses in his heart. Under Locas' supervision, Chen Kai and the others kept repairing the weapons and shields that came from unknown places. Fortunately, these weapons and shields were just slightly rusted and bent, otherwise Chen Kai and the others would not be able to repair them.

The remaining large pile of weapons were repaired by Chen Kai and the others for the whole day. When the last spear was inserted into the weapon stand by Chen Kai, the bright sun in the game had slowly fallen from the west, while Lokas bit a lamb leg and was sleeping in a daze on the recliner.

"I'm so tired, but I finally finished it... Uh! No? Why are there 30,000 left to upgrade?" Chen Kai pinched his sore shoulders and began to check his status. But he was stunned for a moment when he looked at the last three blank grids in the experience bar, because he found that he was still 30,000 points away from level 39.

"Brother Kai, you've calculated it. I'm a whole million away." Fei Yun sighed at the long thirty grids. He estimated that the distance here was the farthest at level 39.

Wang Xuewen patted Fei Yun's shoulder sympathetically, because even if he, a mage with a smaller power, was only tens of thousands of miles away from level 39, he sympathized with this friend who obviously did more than him but had less experience than him.

"Okay, let's go to the city to have a rest and have a good meal. We will set out to do the task tomorrow, but I don't know what this mission is? Brother 4, have you found out?" Chen Kai looked at Fei Yun, who was holding a brush and gently drew a turtle on Locas's face, and the other party didn't leave gently until he finished drawing five big turtles.

"No, Xiaokai, is your uncle a Paladin? Why is it that the fourth brother didn't respond to the painting like this?" Su Xinghe looked at the corners of the turtles on Lokas' face and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and asked Chen Kai on the team channel.

"I think we'd better go outside first." Looking at Locas Chen Kai, who was biting the lamb leg and holding the wine bottle, sighed. He didn't know what happened between Locas and Anlu. But from the fact that Anlu had almost never mentioned Locas, there must have been any conflict between the two. The result of the conflict was that the former Moon Shadow Paladin became the current Drunkard.

In the hotel far away from the military camp, Chen Kai and his friends ordered a large table of delicious food, and ordered some clean water and fresh ingredients that could store close to the backpack space. When the boss brought all the dishes, the entire Effila nightlife began as usual. The most discussed in the mouths of all the diners and drinkers were the mercenary guild chaos not long ago and the curfew that had just ended.

He raised the aperitif in his hand, and Chen Kai drank a little, quickly cut off a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth. Although Chen Kai and his friends were in good spirits under the influence of the fertilization agent, it does not mean that they will not be hungry. Long-term physical labor has made Chen Kai already hungry, so after drinking a little aperitif, Chen Kai couldn't wait to stuff something into his mouth.

"Boss, why is Locas a Paladin but the fourth brother can draw a turtle?" Wang Xuewen asked Chen Kai who was eating veggies while inserting a piece of meat steak. The players' strength at this time was reflected. They could stuff things into their mouths while chatting through the team channel, and they would not be choked by food because of their words.

"Because he was drunk," Chen Kai's answer was very concise, which made Su Xinghe and Xu Fei's veal just stuffed into their mouths instantly choke in the trachea, almost choking to death.

"Boss, you are not kind, how can you be so perfunctory?" Fei Yun said on the team channel by eating a piece of grilled herring. He looked at Fei Yun's eyes as he smiled so hard that he almost narrowed his eyes.

"What are you laughing at? Even Bass doesn't know why he became like this, so it's even more impossible for me to know." Bass, who was far away in Adoric, suddenly sneezes, which made Bass busy in the kitchen wearing an apron very strange. However, with Vera's shout, Bass, who was determined to be a good man, immediately picked up his own soup and ran to the room.

Xu Fei finally choked out the beef stuck in his throat. He just wanted to grab the juice on the table and pour it into his mouth, but before the cup was placed on his back, someone patted him. "Does this mage want to make a fortune?"

"Puff" With the slap of the man behind him, all the juice that Xu Fei had just drank into his mouth was sprayed on Fei Yun's face opposite, who was eating grilled herring. The red watermelon juice poured Fei Yun's head.

"Ahem, who are you?" Xu Fei, who was choking on the juice again, angrily patted others behind him and shouted. The man also knew that he had caused a lot of trouble to the other party and bowed his hand apologetically.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm not good at Baoping. Of course, because there are too many players who call this Baoping, most of the people who know me like to call me Baoping Fatty." The chubby player standing behind Xu Fei bowed to Chen Kai and the others and said in a familiar tone.

"It's okay, Brother Bao, is there anything wrong with patting your shoulder?" Xu Fei wiped his mouth and turned to look at the chubby player. As for Fei Yun with watermelon juice dripping on his head, he threw it behind him.

"That's right. I found out that there is a large mission to be carried out tomorrow, but due to the lack of manpower, I want to ask if you want to make some money. But now it seems that I don't think you will be looking down on that small amount of money." When Xu Fei turned around, Bao Buping, who was standing behind Xu Fei, naturally saw that the robe Xu Fei was wearing was not an ordinary cloth robe, and players who could wear robes with real magic attached would definitely not be short of their own money.

"Can you tell us what the mission is?" Chen Kai raised the red wine in his hand and made a gesture to Bao Buping, the man standing behind Xu Fei. At this time, Bao Buping discovered that the head of Chen Kai and his team was not the mage he thought was but the knight carrying a huge weapon.

Looking at the huge giant sword behind Chen Kai, Bao Buping estimated Chen Kai's power in his heart, but he found that the opponent's power was at least over 100 points and it was probably close to around 20 points. Especially when he saw the giant sword of another swordsman in the team, Bao Buping immediately improved his overall strength of Chen Kai and others by three levels.

After Bao Buping sat in his seat, he did not directly answer Chen Kai's question, but looked at the people around him carefully. Using the observation skills he learned, Bao Buping could roughly estimate the overall strength of Chen Kai and the others. Under the influence of Bao Buping's own skills, Chen Kai and the others emitted a faint yellow light.

According to Bao Buping's own understanding, the gray ones are those with a level of more than ten lower than him, the white ones are those with a level of less than ten lower than him, the green ones are those with a level of similarity to him, the yellow ones are those with a level of much higher than him, but they are still within ten lower, and the red ones are those with a level of more than ten higher than the ten higher.

When Bao Buping's eyes glanced over Su Wan, he saw something that surprised him. The very heroic girl actually raised her head with some sense, and glared at him fiercely with a golden light in her eyes.

"Sorry, although I want to tell you the information about the task I obtained, this brother, you know that a clue of a plot task is not so easy to find, especially in this game. Many times, those indigenous people will leave us players behind to start the plot by themselves, and even when we don't even know, a very important plot has ended." Bao Buping carefully withdrew his gaze and tried to speak in a gentle tone to reduce the other party's disgust towards him.

"Did you say you need information fees?" Chen Kai rested at ease with the cup in his hand and looked at the chubby player sitting opposite him.

"Of course, if this friend really wants to calculate this way, it can be said to be an information fee. After all, the plot tasks are all outdated." Bao Buping rubbed his hands. At this time, he saw a large portion of food being brought up by the hotel owner. The spicy and sweet smell aroused the greed in his stomach, but what surprised him even more was the price of the food.

Not every player can afford to eat the sweet bear paws of one thousand gold coins. However, when he looked up at the opposite side, he found a strange expression that seemed to have never ordered this kind of dish flashed across the face of the captain opposite.

"Can you tell me how many people you have found to participate in the mission now?" Chen Kai looked at the bear paw on the table strangely, then raised the knife in his hand and began to taste the food he had not ordered but sent. He just felt like he was being plotted against when eating.

"There are now 300 people, and each one is a good player with a level above level 35." Bao Buping naturally did not say all the personnel, but just told the core combatants.

"Three hundred people?" Chen Kai looked up at the player opposite, and then slowly lowered his head. In his opinion, the plot mission of the three hundred people was not enough to watch. Even if all the three hundred people were fourth-level players, it was only a normal scene at most. Chen Kai, who had seen thousands of players' wars and even participated in system wars, was not interested in the tricks of hundreds of people.

Of course, the most important thing Chen Kai is concerned about is Lokas' mission. After all, just laying the task, Chen Kai and the others have all improved the three poles. This practice of strengthening the player's combat effectiveness in the early stage of the mission Chen Kai only saw it when he checked the introduction of those tasks that are said to be level B or above. And almost all players participating in level B missions have the same fate and are completely destroyed.

Although Chen Kai was worried that he would be completely destroyed like those players participating in B-level missions, he would not want to let Chen Kai give up this opportunity to death. Of course, if Chen Kai pulled the hand just by the three-pole experience would satisfy many players, but Chen Kai knew that if he pulled the hand, he would not only break his trust (indigenous people), but he would also get other unexpected punishments.

So after obtaining the help of Lokas, Chen Kai has embarked on the road of having to bite the bullet and participate in this mission. Of course, he believes that he can definitely complete this mission. At least his luck has always been very good, well~~ during the period in Baishou Forest, it doesn't count.

Bao Buping slowly finished the meal, the most luxurious dinner in his gaming career, and exchanged communicator numbers with Chen Kai as a friend. It was not until this time that Bao Buping realized that Chen Kai was the boss of the Hurricane Studio. With the light of admiration, Bao Buping bowed and left the hotel to go to other places to find his new teammates.

As for Chen Kai, after saying goodbye to Bao Buping, he immediately took the bill he had just obtained and took a photo at the counter of the hotel owner. "The boss's account is not right, is that bear's paw not expensive, it can't be as expensive as tens of thousands of gold coins, right? And what's going on with these two bottles of wine? We have never seen this shark fin abalone before, so you have to write it to me on the bill."

The chubby hotel owner didn't say anything, but took out a large bag of bills. On the bill, there were not only this hotel but also other hotels and restaurants. A lot of IOUs and bills ranged from a few silver coins to hundreds of gold coins, and the end of the bill was the magical figures and notes left by Locas.

"The little brat actually dares to draw a turtle on my face. This pile of bills is your punishment. Don't say that you don't have money. I checked that you have at least one million gold coins some time ago. This little gold coins are just a little bit. Remember to bring more water and food tomorrow and gather in the morning and early in the morning." The following of the note is Locas' signature and his emblem.

Suddenly everyone stared at Fei Yun who was drawing a turtle on Locas's face. Eleven of them stared at Fei Yun with murderous eyes directly shook Fei Yun into the corner. Chen Kai sighed, took out his wallet to pay the huge bill of nearly 200,000. After Chen Kai paid the pile of bills, the hotel owner happily stuffed the large pile of IOUs from different taverns to Chen Kai.

Chen Kai slowly walked towards the hotel guest room with this pile of IOUs, but when he just stepped on the stairs, the chubby hotel owner suddenly stuffed a small space button into his hand, and at the same time stuffed a large plate of fruits and desserts.

After returning to the room, Chen Kai carefully checked the surrounding situation, and asked Xu Fei and Wang Xuewen to join forces to open the spell barrier they were not familiar with. After consuming more than a dozen spell crystals and various precious materials, a simple magic array spell barrier that could only last for less than half an hour appeared in the room rented by Chen Kai and the others.

This spell barrier that requires four spell casters to maintain is the only relatively high-level spell barrier that Xu Fei and his friends have mastered after they have studied the spell data brought from Yadog. It can be said that it is also the only spell barrier they can use to resist level five spell attacks at this stage.

This barrier can block the leakage of some spell aura and offset the movement inside one barrier. The price is the most magic power of four spellcasters and two priests. In order to maintain this spell barrier, Xu Fei and others must press their hands on the ground and maintain the operation of the magic circle.

Sitting in the spell barrier, Chen Kai carefully opened the space button. As a kind of space equipment in the game, the space button is often used to transport some very important items for its concealment and safety. The space button in Chen Kai's hand obviously contains very important things, but Chen Kai doesn't know who gave this space button.

After opening the space button, Chen Kai looked into the space button with his own spirit, and all the items in the space button appeared in Chen Kai's mind. A piece of paper and a huge box, with a golden seal on the box and locked with a spell-like luster.

Looking at the huge locked box, Chen Kai knew that it was impossible for him to open the box, so he only took out the note, which was only a few short words and a small seal on it.

"Hide this space button and burn this paper. Don't ask anything about the box during the action, otherwise I can't protect you. Remember to protect your safety in the action. If there is danger, you will immediately escape and send the box to the Earth Temple in the Imperial Capital." The seal on the paper belongs to the person who wrote the seal on the IOU that Chen Kai just saw. After reading those few words, Chen Kai quickly burned the paper into a handful of white ash with the torch.

As the paper disappeared, Chen Kai and Xu Fei had a new task in the taskbar - "Unknown Box". Looking at the huge box in the space button, Chen Kai had the urge to take out the box, but reason suppressed this impulse in an instant.

Chen Kai signaled Bai Sasha with his eyes and let her escape from the state of maintaining the spell barrier. After Bai Sasha left from the position of maintaining the spell barrier, several other spellcasters immediately felt that the speed of the magic circle drawing began to accelerate.

When Bai Sasha walked to Chen Kai, Chen Kai took out a small piece of gold from his backpack and asked Bai Sasha to melt the solution with alchemy, then opened his belt and pulled out the strange divine emblem from the belt. When the gold solution was formed in Bai Sasha's hands, Chen Kai immediately took out a small crucible and placed the divine emblem in the crucible, and placed the space button on the divine emblem.

As the gold solution was poured into the crucible and slowly cooled down, a small gold nugget wrapped in the divine emblem and space button appeared in the crucible. Holding the gold nugget cooled with clean water, Chen Kai quickly took out a dagger and carved it on the gold nugget, using his unskilled technique to carve one side of the gold nugget into a flat surface, and the other side became a buckle for the belt.

After lifting the magic barrier, Xu Fei quickly used a carving knife to carve a complete divine emblem of the Temple of Dawn Temple on the golden belt and buckle, and relied on the sacred holy power similar to the Lord of Dawn to cover up the slight spatial fluctuations of the space button inside.
