Chapter 182: The Power of 'Being Ignored

~13 min read 2,461 words

Nie Yingying was a little angry; why was this person still playing around? She hadn't seen him being so oily and smooth-tongued before.

"Alright, Enqin!"

After saying that, Nie Yingying just stared at him expressionlessly.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect your angry expression to be quite cute!"

Two blushes immediately rose on Nie Yingying's originally serious little face; out of shame and anger, she had no choice but to glare fiercely at this guy.

Although... but..., why did this guy suddenly become so unserious!

"Hmm, I do have some gains, hehe, let me tell you slowly... hmm?! Someone's coming!"

Turning his head to look, a smooth, bald head stretched out from one of the dormitories next to the training ground; the flattering smile made the face, which was originally full of fat, immediately become seventy percent sleazier.

Seeing Nie Yingying and the other looking over, the flattering smile on Hans's face became even more intense.

"Brother Enqin, Miss Ren Yingying, you continue, just pretend I don't exist."

The blush on Nie Yingying's face became even brighter!

Giving the slender figure beside her a charming glance, Nie Yingying kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word.

Nie Yingying understood that even if this bald guy looked like a flattering dog-leg, he was a genuine Tier 5 【Gladiator】; she was the weakest in this temporary team, and if it weren't for Xie Yaoyao's face, she would have been kicked out of the game in the first place.

Moreover, in front of outsiders, Nie Yingying was willing to give this guy face!

"Yeah! Hans, Hans, Hans, sensible and obedient little bald head! Hehe!"

Hans immediately followed with a flattering laugh, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart; why did the big boss feel so strange today, too happy?

Bald Hans had always been a master of observing words and colors and guessing thoughts, but this time, before he could figure it out, a burst of wind blades flew from Baron Gelaci's fingertips.

Instinctively dodging to the side, years of deep 【Gladiator】 experience allowed him to avoid this wind blade. Hans was full of astonishment, but the countless wind blades like knives coming toward him left him no time to think, and he could only dodge continuously.

This... the big boss wouldn't be unhappy because he ruined his date, would he?

Fighting back was definitely out of the question; eighty percent of the thousands of people in the arena had been sent out of the game by the monster in front of him, and even now, Hans still had lingering fears when thinking about those Travelers who had no rationality and only knew how to hack and slash crazily.

Wind blades shot toward Bald Hans like they were free, and a strange feeling rose in Nie Yingying's heart.

Relying solely on dodging was useless; Hans decisively took out a large rectangular shield and hid behind it, not even daring to poke his head out.

"Big boss, big boss! Brother Enqin! I was wrong, I was wrong! Ouch!"

The big boss definitely didn't want to kill me, otherwise, I would have been skewered and dried by those terrifying plants by now.

Sigh! Unlucky!

How did I manage to make the big boss unhappy! It seems my flattery skills still need improvement!

Long defense leads to loss; Hans didn't expect these wind blades to suddenly turn into storm hammers, hitting him back repeatedly with heavy blows, and finally, he fell to the ground and took a fierce beating.

Watching Bald Hans fall to the ground, beaten black and blue, holding his stomach and crying 'Ouch! Ouch!', Baron Gelaci stopped elegantly.

"I don't like others calling me big boss; perhaps you should change the address!"

"My... lord...?! My lord, Lord Baron, yes, it was my negligence; the title of big boss really doesn't match your noble temperament, my fault, my fault, I hope you can forgive me!"

Looking at the slightly raised finger opposite, Hans decisively became sensible, followed by a series of flattery.

He didn't expect this guy to care about this; he thought he was annoyed because his date was interrupted.

Sure enough, the stronger the guy, the weirder the quirks!

"Clack! Clack!"

Two doors next to them opened simultaneously, and then the last two people in the team walked out almost at the same time.

As soon as Siwen and Aoruilian walked out, they saw the messy training ground and the bruised Bald Hans; the two instantly cast their gazes toward the two standing on the other side, their eyes full of doubt.

And responding to the two's doubtful gazes were the wind blades and storm hammers shooting toward them.

A massive double-edged battle axe and a knight's shield instantly appeared in the two's hands.

"Clang, clang! Dang, lang! Ding, ling, kuang, lang!"

Compared to Bald Hans, the two's response could be said to be easy and happy.

It was just unclear exactly what had happened; the two were just very cautious in defense, seeing Hans's appearance, he should have been repaired once, but it was clear there was no life danger.

Seeing the two dealing with it easily, the attack then stopped.

"Not bad, you two are indeed much stronger than this trash! Then tell you a piece of good news: in the remaining time of this mission, it will depend on you; if you need me to take action, I will probably only use the strength of the intensity just now! So, in order not to be eliminated, work hard, everyone!"

As the words fell, everyone present was stunned.

What kind of madness is this ancestor having again?

This is the 'Baixue' plot mission, which can be considered one of the most famous fairytales in the world, and it's a ten-person confrontation mission; one can guess how rich the rewards will be after completing the mission.

At a time like this, you don't hurry to show off your power and lead us to lie down and win, and you can't be so thoroughly lazy!

"My... lord, what... what do you mean?"

Even Nie Yingying looked at the figure in the middle of the crowd with a puzzled face, unable to figure it out for a while.

This guy is really strange today!

"Luka Marchetti! Tier 5 【Enhancement Shaman】! A comprehensive Minotaur warrior skilled in frontal combat and defensive healing!"

"Alice Moreau! Tier 5 【Astrologer】! An Elf spellcaster skilled in remote viewing, divination, and special spell attacks!"

"Pierre Dubois! Tier 4 【Bard】! Skilled in healing wounds, enhancing allies, dispelling negative effects, and boosting morale."

"Salvatore Rossi! Tier 4 【Gladiator】!"

"Weituo Scaletta! Tier 4 【Demon Hunter】!"

"This is the intelligence of the five Travelers in the opposing camp, among whom Hans's good friend 【Gladiator】 Salvatore and 【Demon Hunter】 Weituo have been imprisoned by local natives because they ran around everywhere!"

"Hmm, I thought about it; for the sake of fairness and entertainment in this game, in the next game, I will be a good bystander, hoping to see a wonderful collision of wisdom and strength! Work hard, warriors!"

After speaking, this Baron Gelaci turned elegantly and walked to Nie Yingying's side, and then, in the astonished eyes of everyone, his sense of presence dropped sharply.

If it weren't for his shocking speech just now and the image he had left in everyone's hearts, everyone would have subconsciously ignored his existence by now.

Even so, when Hans was shocked and wanted to ask again, he was a little dazed for a while, seemingly forgetting what he wanted to say.

"My... lord..., hmm?!"

"Since we already know the enemy's news, why don't we take the initiative to attack and kill the other side; wouldn't that be a sure win!"

Siwen, holding a double-edged battle axe, began to shout loudly; he felt his plan was great, but a gentle and firm voice immediately rejected his proposal.

"No, not appropriate! This is a confrontation-type plot world; it's hard to say what kind of changes will happen to the plot after all the personnel on one side die! I think it's better to be safe!"

【Sun Knight】 did not agree with the barbarian's idea and immediately voiced his opposition, but this also immediately aroused Siwen's rebellious psychology; the two seemed to have completely forgotten the pressure Xie Yaoyao had brought to them in just a few words, and all began to compete for the team's leadership.

"Hmph! Weak knight, you only need to take what you want with your own battle axe; the same goes for this plot mission!"

Being called a 'weak knight' clearly insulted the faith in Aoruilian's heart and touched his reverse scale.

"Ha!"

The golden light was more dazzling than the morning light.

A knight's sword appeared in his hand and slashed fiercely at the companion who had just been fighting side by side to block the wind blade attack.

"Clang~"

Siwen was not gentle at all; Aoruilian's move was exactly what he wanted, and while the double-edged battle axe blocked the knight's sword, he took advantage of the situation to slash at the 【Sun Knight】's right leg.

Watching the two completely crazy, Bald Hans retreated repeatedly to Nie Yingying's side, completely ignoring Baron Gelaci on the side and speaking.

"These two are fighting for the leadership of the team, but no matter who wins, it's not a good thing for us, unless... we can unite."

At this time, the flattering smile that had always been on Hans's face was gone; his eyes swept across the white mask without any attention, and finally stopped on Nie Yingying's face.

"For those two, we are both weak, but the weak can also make their own voices heard after uniting."

And after Nie Yingying heard Hans's words, she first snorted coldly, then pondered for a while, and finally nodded in agreement with his request for an alliance.

"Ren Yingying! 【Sky Assassin】!"

Xie Yaoyao wouldn't let her die in this plot world even if he didn't take action, so Nie Yingying didn't care about hiding her entry at all; besides, as long as a battle occurred, her entry would always be exposed to her teammates.

There was also a little bit of Nie Yingying's own vanity; after more than a year in the Fairytale World, she had only obtained a very ordinary 【Assassin】 entry despite her best efforts; as her tier increased, Nie Yingying also slowly began to come into contact with some powerful entries, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't envious.

Now that Xie Yaoyao had given her this powerful assassin entry, she finally had the urge to show it off and shock everyone.

Sure enough, when Bald Hans heard 【Sky Assassin】, he was clearly stunned for a moment.

He hadn't heard of this profession entry, but profession entries with such prefixes were usually special mutations of that path, usually even rarer and more powerful.

Hans's eyes changed when he looked at the woman in front of him; although he knew the woman in front of him was only Tier 4, with the blessing of a powerful profession, he might not even be a match for her in the same Intermediate tier.

Although 【Gladiator】 was considered a good, comprehensive melee profession entry among ordinary Travelers, there was still a gap compared to these rare goods.

For example, he now had no intention of competing with Siwen and Aoruilian at all; in fact, the battle between those two just now had interpreted this point.

If he were replaced by either of them, he would have been sent out of the plot world by now, not to mention that those two were still fighting with full sound and light effects on the side.

Turning his head to look at the wooden-faced woman beside him, Hans felt that the world seemed to be targeting him.

Finally, the reappearance of the Queen's guard, Weisite, interrupted the fight between Siwen and Aoruilian, and also interrupted Bald Hans's self-pity.

"Everyone, Her Majesty the Queen invites you!"

Weisite's voice was cold and hard, as if he were announcing an order to the weapon racks in the training ground; when he spoke, his eyes didn't even look at the crowd, and after speaking, he turned and left immediately with the soldiers behind him.

The Travelers looked at each other, not knowing how they had offended this messenger of their own camp.

However, since the plot was starting to advance, Siwen and Aoruilian decided to stop fighting for now; doing the plot was more important.

Meeting the Queen didn't cause any waves, except for Nie Yingying; the Queen had already seen the strength of everyone present in the arena.

"Today is Baixue's coming-of-age ceremony; not only will nobles from all regions of our Rhine Kingdom come to Star City, but many foreign envoys and nobles will also come to participate; these people are not all friendly! As guards, I hope you can fulfill your duties and be loyal to my orders!"

After the Queen finished speaking, her eyes flowed, finally stopping on one person.

"Baron Gelaci, are you willing to offer me your loyalty?"

Following the Queen's naming, the eyes of everyone in the reception hall fell on this Baron Gelaci simultaneously; instantly, the backs of Hans, Siwen, Aoruilian, and the cold-faced Weisite were soaked in cold sweat.

When!

Always?!

How is it possible?

How could I ignore such a character?

Impossible! I couldn't have made such a mistake!

Unless, unless he intentionally let me ignore his existence!

Too terrifying! Is this the strength of a top powerhouse?

I originally thought the strength displayed in the arena was already shocking enough, but I didn't expect him to be more than that; he was already playing with a higher level of power!

Regardless of what these guys thought, Baron Gelaci had long known that the influence of 【Faceless One's Peering】 on powerhouses like the Queen would drop sharply.

"Of course, I, Enqin Feng Gelaci, am willing to offer you my loyalty! My respected Queen!"

Looking at the man bowing and saluting in front of her, the Queen's eyes flickered slightly, and finally, she nodded with satisfaction.

Just as she was about to praise him a couple more times, a waiter walked in to inform them that the Princess's coming-of-age ceremony was ready, and His Majesty the King invited the Queen to the main hall of the palace.

Dismissing the waiter, the Queen scanned the crowd again and stood up, taking the lead to walk out.

The crowd followed; although Hans, Siwen, Aoruilian, and Weisite were still shocked by Baron Gelaci's strength, they now unconsciously ignored the slender black figure beside them!

Even Nie Yingying beside him felt strange, only feeling that something was strange somewhere, with an indescribable feeling! ===== CHAPTER 183 =====
