Chapter 69 - Prize of battle

After a while, everyone could finally see what was happening on the field. Two figures were standing quietly there. Waheeda's mace was placed on Louison's head, and Louison's fingers were touching Waheeda's waist.

Both of them remained motionless, causing the spectators to talk excitedly. My heart suddenly tightened as well. Would Louison survive with that powerful mace on his head? Had he already died? Waheeda was a player. If he died, his body would disappear. Now that he was still there, it meant he wasn't dead. What about Louison...

Suddenly, one of the figures moved and then slowly walked away.

It was Louison! Louison was still alive, while Waheeda was still standing there, holding the mace motionlessly.

Suddenly, a roar came from the crowd. It was Honey's voice: "Wow, it's a point-and-punch attack! Our heroes really have some skills for point-and-punch! Long live Tianji Company! Long live!"

Many cheers followed, all from the hero players.

For a long time, the hero players had complained that the attack skills of their profession were not strong, and the power of the weapons was not as far-reaching as bows and arrows. It was purely a useless profession. If it weren't for their love for the hero image, probably not many people would choose it. Now it seems that hero is also a terrifying profession!

Louison put away his weapon and nodded at me. I responded with a satisfied nod. I was really satisfied. Without killing Waheeda, we had already won. This was the most ideal result.

After another two seconds, Louison's body could move. His transformation skill was also broken by the point-and-punch attack. Now it was his original form.

Waheeda's face was pale, and he roared: "Kid, you haven't won yet. I'm not dead yet. Come back and fight again!" 

Laure's face was also pale. It seemed that he also understood that Waheeda was indeed not Louison's opponent. However, he had already said earlier that he wouldn't interfere with his subordinates' actions. Now he couldn't retract this statement.

It seemed that it would be up to me to solve this. Suddenly, I slapped my head heavily: "Oh, I remember now. This wanted-larceny mission isn't supposed to be done ten times? I did it once, and there were nine left! So..." 

All the players suddenly woke up with a start: "Yes, we can continue! And now all the items of the god of magic have been lost. Killing him is a piece of cake!" 

With a loud crack, a gust of wind swept past, and thousands of players vanished before my eyes. Even Waheeda was forcibly pulled away by several warriors from the Sea Sky Society. The Lost Village suddenly became quiet. I couldn't help but shiver. I really wasn't used to this.

However, my friends hadn't left yet. We all looked at each other and suddenly burst into loud laughter. Then, Honey's scream, Benajah's happy fainting, and someone who was on guard from the temple running out and falling on the steps, all shouting: "Don't forget to share what you've picked! 5555"

The tense battle was over. We really felt a bit unsure of what to do. Looking at each other, we didn't know what to say.

It was Baxter who broke the deadlock and led the count of treasures. Thus, in the center of the village, the sound of water droplets hitting the ground could be heard constantly.

On the magical god, apart from cooking materials and the highest-level red and blue drugs, it was all equipment. 90% of the equipment was above gold level. Even the 10% silver equipment was something with very special properties.

Chico was weak, and the Blood Wolf had been hiding in the houses. Senorita wanted to show her reserve. The three of them basically didn't have much to gain. White Feather was on the periphery and only picked two golden equipment.

The others were veteran players. Their hands weren't slow at all. They basically grabbed more than seven or eight golden items and two or three platinum items. Baxter has sharp eyes and snatched nine pieces of platinum and one piece of gold.

Benajah truly lived up to his name. His skills in stealing were terrifying. He obtained two level 1 equipment: "Red Dragon Robe" and "Wind and Fire Boots", along with sixteen pieces of platinum equipment. The gold ones he simply didn't pick!

However, when compared to me, he was still a bit behind.

I only picked six items: the growth-type staff "Eye of Fire God", which became a gold item in my hands, with Spirit +20, Fire spell power increased by 20%, and casting speed increased by 25%; the level 1 divine helmet "Moon Spirit Crown", with Physical Defense 30, Magic Defense 40, and Resistance to Abnormal States 40%; the level 1 ring "Golden Eagle Clasp", with Spirit +20, Fire spell power increased by 20%, casting speed increased by 30%, and Charisma +2; the level 1 chef pot, with Cooking skill improved by one level, cooking effect increased by 50%, and cooking skill training speed accelerated; the special item "Universal Instrument", which can improve Investigation Skill, Mining Skill, Surveying Skill, Identification Skill, Navigation Skill, and Medicine Recognition Skill by one level each, and the manufacturing and construction effect is improved without level restrictions; the special item "Kuan Yin Bag", which can hold 1000 items, and has no level requirements.

Whew, I was breathing heavily and extremely excited!

After each of us looked at the items we had, everyone was clamoring for me to share the money with Benajah. Although it was half-joking, I and Benajah quickly stuffed the items into our pockets. If we took just one or two items from them, we would definitely not get them back.

Finally, I came up with a way to divert everyone's attention. I jumped in front of Louison: "I just told you not to leave the protection range of the magic pillar, why didn't you listen?"

Louison said calmly: "If I felt I was not strong enough, I would use the master's method."

I was furious: "Anyway, your meaning is that you have your own ideas and don't need to listen to me, right?"

Before Louison could reply, I rushed to say: "Say, do you still consider me your master?"

This commotion actually distracted the attention of others. They all listened to us.

Louison looked around the people and suddenly smiled at me, but said nothing.

My heart jumped. This guy, don't let him figure out that I was pretending to scold him? If so, his intelligence is a bit too high.

Suddenly, I said again: "Since you have your own ideas, why did we face such danger when fighting the divine when you didn't come out to help? And it caused... Oh, by the way, what's your brother's name?"

The dead once Zhuo Chai smiled: "Zhuo Chai, from Thailand."

Louison said: "The one just now, was not an ordinary player. My intervention was useless."

I was stunned. Could Louison also sense that the divine was an intelligent program? Then the game console shouldn't be unaware either. It seems that the divine is really protected by the console. But why would the divine attack the console? I can't figure it out.

Suddenly, I said again: "Ask you one more question. If a 100-level boss monster attacks me, at this moment, you have two choices, A stand in front of me, B run away. Which one do you choose?"

Louison said calmly: "Run away!"

My friends behind me all shouted "SHIT": "Disregarding the master and running for your life, what kind of subordinate is this!"

I asked: "Why choose B?"

Louison remained expressionless: "Because you can be resurrected, but I can't be. "

Hearing this, I couldn't help but shed tears. It was so touching. What a good NPC!

Everyone stared at me blankly: "Brother, are you stupid? How could you be so moved by such a subordinate?"

I hurriedly wiped my tears and smiled: "Well, I'm heartbroken because I hired such a heartless subordinate for 300 gold."

Everyone stared at me, and none of it seemed like they were heartbroken.

This commotion actually made everyone forget about the money issue. I then said, "It's almost one o'clock in the morning. Everyone should go to sleep early. Starting from tomorrow, let's work together to build our village!"

Everyone shouted in agreement. Baxter brothers and Lankes looked at each other and came closer to me, "Building the village, we can also contribute our share, right?" I laughed, "Sure! Everyone transfer your village status to ours. From now on, we are brothers!" 

Everyone logged off. Only then did I finally feel completely relieved. Following that, the pent-up emotions burst out.

This battle today was the first time since I entered the game that I felt the same sense of the character from the game Columbine.

Although I'm only 32 levels and haven't learned any battle skills above the intermediate level yet, that powerful Haishang Society and so many top-notch experts couldn't accomplish the task, I did it!

You rich kids, with so many people helping you and investing so much money in the game, you weren't any better than me winning first!

The intelligent program, what do you think you are? As long as I'm prepared and fight, you will all be my defeated opponents!

Shake, you have now become an antique program, stored in a disc in the basement of some museum, right? Too bad. If I were to encounter you again now, you wouldn't be my opponent, haha!

Look at the extra equipment in the bag. Look up at my village. Today's happiness has come too much. I even dare not go to the Sunset City to claim that generous reward for the wanted bounty. I'm afraid I might have a cerebral hemorrhage due to excessive excitement, haha.

After a while of being excited, I finally calmed down. I can't be too proud. I still have a lot of things to do.

Looking back, Louison was still standing behind me motionless, as if he hadn't heard me laughing wildly at the sky alone.

I started working. I asked Louison, "If I appoint you as the village leader, can you also hold the position of village guard?" 

Louison said, "No." 

I said "Oh" and now I had to immediately hire a new village leader. We can't have me and my friends taking turns guarding the village every day.

Just then, a old man appeared in the teleportation array. As soon as he came out, he ran towards me: "Master, I just heard that the wanted criminal is coming to destroy your village. I came to repair the pillars for you right away. Is it still in time?" 

I was overjoyed: "Master Shi!" 

I hugged Shi Shi and excitedly said, "Thank you, Master Shi, for remembering me. Fortunately, the wanted criminal has been defeated. Now I really need your help to build the village!" 

Shi Shi made a sound and turned to look at the two magic pillars I had built. He was surprised and said, "Master, Master Shi, you really didn't make a mistake in judging you. You can build such high-level magic pillars. You have advanced to the next level? Or even the top level?" 

I sighed, "I'm still at the intermediate level two." 

The master jumped up: "You are too lazy. You must come with me right now and practice in the village where I'm working on the project. I insist that I have to watch you reach the top level!" 

I said, "No, I'm the lord. There are many things for me to handle." 

The master shook his head: "No. In any profession, ethics must be followed. Since there is no danger here anymore, I will go back to complete my project right away." 

It seemed that it was over. Suddenly, I remembered the blue stone I got from the underground of Blue Mountain. I hurriedly took it out: "Master Shi, look at this. I can't figure out what it is either." 

Actually, I could take it to the city for identification, but such an advanced thing, the identification fee would probably be astronomical. It's better to have Master Shi do the free identification for me, haha. Master Shi immediately noticed the blue stone and his expression changed abruptly. He took a few steps back and said, "This... Where did you find it!" 

I was stunned: "It was in a place called Blue Mountain. There were also earth dragons guarding it. I had to exert a lot of effort to obtain it." 

Master Shi's eyes were glazed over and he kept shaking his head. "Unbelievable! The 'Sea Blue Heart' appeared so early! It must be a programming error!" 

I exclaimed, "Programming error? My master is really an NPC? Saying such things. Also, 'Sea Blue'? Isn't that the name of the game console?" 

Master Shi continued in a dazed tone: "This stone should have appeared in the SSSSS level mission. It was guarded by a 180-level dark dragon. This is the founding stone!"
