Chapter 547 - 401: He is the World Itself! (Extra for Alliance Leader Bai Shi Yu!)

~6 min read 1,051 words

Dawn.

In the vast, endlessly grassy desert, knee-high wild grass swayed gradually with the cold wind, creating waves.

The belly white of dawn had yet to fade, and two round moons still hung high in the sky.

At this moment, after a night of forced marching, beggars from all directions had finally arrived at the designated location marked by the Executors.

Here, they also saw massive shelters connected within the desert!

Outside the shelters, many soldiers stood wielding weapons, and numerous Lizardmen lay curled up sleeping!

The Lizardmen, in a dense mass, almost covered the entire nearby wild grass, and a stench wafted continuously from here.

"Finally arrived!" Cheers erupted from the crowd, and more troops, like swarms of ants, kept pouring in.

People kept gathering, making this already enormous army even more terrifying in size. The newly arrived beggars each sat down to rest per the guards’ instructions.

In a few hours, they would move again, and their next destination was none other than Lin Yue’s shelter!

"Those stinky lizards actually managed to bring out seventy thousand, truly surprising!" Old Sun grumbled under his breath, standing at the doorway looking outside, slightly astonished.

Smoke drifted into the room, and the person reclining on the sofa in the corner merely snorted lightly, responding to Old Sun.

Old Sun chuckled, "Looks like I bet wrong, kiddo, you’ve got a knack after all. Who would have thought that broken stone would get those stinky lizards excited? These shiny things might be worth money on Earth, but here in the Otherworld, they’re not even as good as a slice of bread. Who knew?

"Gems are called gems everywhere." The person’s voice suddenly said, "When those smelly reptiles learned Lin Yue had a few more, they were quite excited. These seventy thousand are the maximum they could send out. If it weren’t so far away, they would’ve dispatched a million!"

"Hey, old man, the last time I came to this world, there weren’t so many tricks, even if there were some stinky lizards around, there were no gems. Their numbers weren’t this big back then."

Old Sun exhaled a mouthful of smoke, still watching the moon outside.

Two round disks emitted ancient bronzed light, dyeing the earth in a layer of mysterious color.

It’s completely different from when he last came here.

"The past is past, now it’s different." The person took out a glowing gem again, holding it in his palm, "No matter what it’s used for, those stinky reptiles want it, that’s enough. But..."

The person stood up and walked to Old Sun’s side.

"What do you think about the reinforcements outside?"

Old Sun chuckled dryly twice, took a deep drag on his cigarette, flicked the butt to the ground, and stomped it out: "The Executors contacting you, indeed surprised this old man, and having so many people arrive certainly opened my eyes! But..."

"But?"

"Old man wants to ask you, with so many people splitting one cake, how do we split it? Does the way we agreed to split it still count?"

"What I promised you will certainly not fall short. If you take down Lin Yue’s shelter, Old Sun, I promise, apart from what I want, everything else will be yours. What I agreed to can only increase, not decrease. As for those beggars sent by the Executors, you know better than I how to use them, right?" The person took out a piece of wood from Storage Space and picked up a knife, cutting a piece.

The area where the wood was cut was quite smooth.

"Hey, that’s the best then, but how sure are you that you can take down Lin Yue’s shelter? Although when Levik attacked yesterday there wasn’t a wall, but in one day’s work, Lin Yue erected a wall. The photos my guys took, you’ve seen them too, machine gun turrets are mounted?"

"Naturally, it’s also considered. Just received intelligence, those stinky lizards brought out quite a few big ones from the Secret Realm and drove two giant creatures to lead the charge."

He sliced another piece, a big wood chip fell.

"Whoa, really going all out, those lizards aren’t as dumb as we thought. Lin Yue’s bullets against giant creatures and those with shells are useless, seems this time it’ll be easy. Must admit, having someone who can communicate with those lizards is great. Right, that guy’s name is Liu Kai, where is he, is the info accurate?"

Old Sun was quite interested in the leader who went ahead to Refugee Village. For some reason, he could understand the Lizardmen’s language, and several times the information proved he really could understand it instead of boasting.

"I don’t know where he is, only his information is sufficient, besides, he’s not my subordinate."

"Hey, so he’s not, I could recruit him? Old man has nothing, but plenty of resources, women, whatever he asks, old man will pay." Old Sun suddenly got more interested.

"Then it’ll be up to you to talk to him, the system makes it easy." The person steadily carved the wood, its shape continuously changing, gradually taking form.

Old Sun lit another cigarette, smoked halfway, glanced at him. The sky outside was beginning to lighten, and soon they’d break camp and march.

However, Old Sun was still bothered by one thing.

He had already told him about visiting this Otherworld before, but the person only told him one uninteresting fact.

No interest in how Lizardmen use broken stones for rituals, or how foot-sized diamonds, sapphires, rubies have no value in this moneyless Otherworld.

To others, these might be more intriguing.

But Old Sun felt, this person still harbored a bigger secret, withholding it.

Perhaps one capable of shaking every human in this Otherworld, possibly.

After all, one thing Old Sun couldn’t fathom.

"Tell me, why have you never said why capture Lin Yue alive? Instead of just his corpse?"

Old Sun extinguished the remaining cigarette, suddenly turning to ask.

"Because..." The person didn’t raise his head, the wooden sculpture in his hand already fashioned into a treasure chest.

"Because of what?" Old Sun pressed.

The person paused, finally carving two more strokes, suddenly raising the now shaped wooden treasure chest sculpture, smiling.

"If he dies, there’s nothing left, but alive, there’s the whole world!"
