Chapter 143: This is too much, it looks so satisfying! (Seeking continuous reads)
Xia Qingmei wasn’t surprised to hear Lu Zheng admit he was interested in her.
She was quite confident in her charm.
For a big pervert like Lu Zheng,
it was impossible for him not to have thoughts when he saw a beauty of her caliber.
But on closer inspection, she hadn't actually heard of Lu Zheng forcing anyone.
He always held public beauty pageants, inviting people to sign up voluntarily.
She had heard many people talk about that grand event.
Xia Qixuan was even openly envious.
Hearing Lu Zheng’s plan, she subconsciously asked,
“Why are you starting to kill bugs and Night Demons now?”
After speaking, she realized her question was a bit impolite.
She added,
“I remember you used to only let your subordinates do this, while your focus was on the base’s construction.”
Actually, Lu Zheng’s focus was on enjoyment.
Of course, Xia Qingmei wouldn’t say that.
Lu Zheng chuckled,
“It’s simple, you guys are too slow in providing me with crystals, so I have to personally go out and harvest them to quickly accumulate a large amount of crystals, allowing me to advance to the next level.”
Xia Qingmei blurted out,
“What level are you now?”
“Seventh-tier.”
Lu Zheng replied casually.
This level wasn’t a significant secret.
For his subordinates, knowing how strong their boss was also a management method.
Hearing the number ‘Seventh-tier,’ Xia Qingmei paused, then her eyes widened.
“Seventh-tier!?”
“The crystals needed to advance one tier in ability increase by an order of magnitude, and you are three full tiers higher than me.”
“That’s three orders of magnitude, a thousand times the energy!”
Xia Qixuan exclaimed,
“Boss is truly powerful!”
“The strongest monsters emerging from the pit now are only fifth-tier Blade Mantises.”
Lu Zheng looked at Xia Qingmei.
“Can you agree now?”
This time, Xia Qingmei didn’t hesitate, quickly nodding.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
Lu Zheng’s level was so high that even a few leaked crystals during the process would be enough for her to quickly advance to fifth-tier.
Her current advancement to fourth-tier was achieved only after Xia Qixuan and she had accumulated crystals for a long time.
“When do I start?”
“Now,”
Saying this, Lu Zheng directly absorbed her into a Seal Card.
He turned to Xia Qixuan and said,
“I won’t touch the bugs and Night Demons nearby; you continue harvesting in the surrounding area.”
“Ensure the profits.”
Seeing his sister disappear, Xia Qixuan was actually a bit worried.
But Lu Zheng’s demonstrated seventh-tier strength left him no choice but to believe his words just now.
He would ask his sister if anything else happened when he saw her again later.
Lu Zheng took Xia Qingmei to a sparsely populated area, then released her.
“Unleash your full ability; attract as many bugs and Night Demons as you can.”
“Don’t be afraid of danger.”
Saying this, he took out another mutated peach and made a bait identical to the one used at sea.
Soon, a large number of Scythe Mantiss, Double-Tailed Scorpions, Sonic Worms, Night Demons, and even Frost Centipedes appeared.
Seeing so many creatures emerge, like a black tide, stirring up huge waves.
Xia Qingmei was a little scared.
“Did I really cause this? Why does it look ten times more than last time?”
Lu Zheng ignored her, leaving her in place, and flew towards the swarm.
Soon, the Beast Taming Ring controlled a large number of Double-Tailed Scorpions and Dizzying Ghost-faced Bats; besides Night Demons, any monster above second-tier that came within a certain range would be controlled by him.
The combat power he commanded quickly surpassed the ten thousand mark.
Witnessing a new monster tide being born in Lu Zheng’s hands, Xia Qingmei exclaimed again.
‘This guy is too strong.’
And this was just the beginning.
Lu Zheng expanded his combat power and began to slaughter low-tier monsters.
Large numbers of monsters died in swathes, their crystals dug out and placed on a platform nearby, piling up into a small mountain.
Looking at those crystals, Xia Qingmei felt her eyes were about to turn into the shape of crystals.
This was too much!
Although they weren’t hers, she had the illusion of getting rich overnight.
It looked so satisfying.
While Lu Zheng was frantically harvesting crystals here, a commotion broke out at the Kyoto Base.
At the Fire Glazed Guild’s outpost, members formed a circle, protecting the tents behind them.
Fear was in their eyes.
Because at this moment, members of the Overlord Alliance were outside, and their numbers were twice that of the Fire Glazed Guild.
The leader was Huang Batian, an ability user who had just broken through to fourth-tier.
“Oh! Guild Leader Ke, quite the airs, aren’t you? Are you deaf, or did a Night Demon break your leg last night, so you can’t crawl out?”
A sharp, piercing female voice sounded at the camp entrance, carrying undisguised malice.
Di Jiani stood at the forefront of the Overlord Alliance members, arms crossed, a sneering smile on her face.
Behind her, Overlord Alliance members, twice the number of Fire Glazed members, stood loosely, but their eyes were fierce, and their crude weapons occasionally tapped in their palms, emitting dull, threatening sounds.
The sour smell of dust mixed with sweat permeated the tense air.
Several young women from the Fire Glazed Guild stood near the camp entrance, their bodies tense, their faces pale.
One of them, a girl named Xiao Yun, mustered the courage to reply,
“Sister Di, our Guild Leader… she needs rest! If the Overlord Alliance has anything, it can wait until tomorrow…”
“Wait?”
Di Jiani looked as if she had heard the biggest joke, her dark lipstick-painted lips splitting into a sharp, sarcastic arc.
“When did it become your place, little girl, to tell us how the Overlord Alliance does things? Wait? Master Huang’s time is precious! Does your Ke Xueying have such a big face that she can make our Overlord Alliance wait for her?”
She took a fierce step forward, her outstretched hand cutting through the air, about to slap Xiao Yun’s face.
Xiao Yun was so scared she closed her eyes and shrunk her neck.
“Slap!”
The expected pain did not come.
It was another Fire Glazed member, Sister Lin, who gritted her teeth and used her arm to block the blow for Xiao Yun.
The rough sleeve instantly tore, leaving a gash, and Sister Lin grunted, several glaring blood marks appearing on her arm, as she staggered backward and hit the remains of a car behind her, making a dull thud.
The lingering hum of the discarded metal being struck echoed through the area.
“Dodging? And daring to block?”
Di Jiani’s eyes widened, the sarcasm on her face instantly turning into ferocity.
“You’re ungrateful! Someone, strip this reckless b*tch naked and throw her outside to feed the rats!”
Several women from the Overlord Alliance sneered and rushed forward to tear at Sister Lin’s clothes.
They had already become playthings, and seeing these women who could still remain clean, they felt extreme disgust, hating these women more than men did.
The surrounding Fire Glazed members rushed to stop them but were pushed away by even more Overlord Alliance men, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.
“Enough!”
A clear, low growl, suppressing anger, instantly cut through the din.
The canvas curtain of the largest tent in the camp was suddenly flung open, and Ke Xueying emerged, leaning on the doorframe.
