Chapter 59: Forgetting Something

Crouched in the Sewers, Chen Zhi could hear the discussion of these few people; after all, they were so close, and it was his own turf.

He shook his head in disdain; good heavens, if you asked this bunch of players to patrol, they wouldn't be willing, unless there was some special plot.

If his deduction was correct, these people would likely head to the front lines; one only had to look at how crazy things were now to know.

With the enhancement of combat Runes, the players were even more valiant; of course, it was mainly because they had gained experience from killing over the past few days, and when facing small numbers of Mutated Rats, they had already started learning to camp and kill.

Leander kept the performance of these Xiahui People in mind; if they underwent more professional training, the role they could play when brought to the front line would be even greater.

Once the rats were mostly killed, Zhuguli seemed to remember that his group still had a mission to complete today.

That was to hide the identity of the Lord of Calamity, and not let the people from the War Church discover Him.

But upon counting the heads, there wasn't a single person guarding the Fei Qi Xia Shui Dao...

"Did we forget something?" Zhuguli shivered, "Who is guarding the Fei Qi Xia Shui Dao now?"

The player originally responsible for guarding also shivered, "I, I saw no one going over, so I came over to kill rats together."

After all, no one liked the task of standing guard, let alone a guard task that didn't pay.

"Damn it, don't forget the real business, a few of you go take a look!" Zhuguli broke out in a cold sweat; if the people from the War Church found out about the Lord of Calamity, wouldn't the subsequent plot just disappear?

He didn't know to what extent the official test would go.

If the plot they had worked so hard to participate in was ruined, wouldn't the players have to wait for the AI to recalculate a suitable opportunity before they could enter the game to play?

That might not be a test period of one or two weeks, but a matter of one or two months or even half a year.

When Mudi and the others stood at the entrance of the Fei Qi Xia Shui Dao spitting on those Xiahui People, they hadn't thought that these Xiahui People wouldn't even spare the Fei Qi Xia Shui Dao.

Seeing a group of people walking aggressively toward the Fei Qi Xia Shui Dao, Mudi and the others wished they could raise their hands to signal that they hadn't done anything wrong.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness." Zhuguli breathed a sigh of relief; it was all his fault as an incompetent captain, they had almost been exposed.

Fortunately, the passage to the Fei Qi Xia Shui Dao was guarded by these useless guys.

With their courage, they probably wouldn't dare to go in at all.

The swarms of players also relaxed at this moment; as long as they hadn't been discovered, it was fine.

After all, this was a mission given by Saina; although it didn't pay, it could farm reputation.

Chen Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief, his arm bracing against the door relaxing.

"Great Lord of Calamity, they seem to want to come in and take a look after all." Susan pricked up her ears to listen, then said with a bitter expression.

Chen Zhi heard it too; the Captain Leander saw the players all coming over, so he came over to take a look as well, and upon finding that no one had entered the Fei Qi Xia Shui Dao, he was very dissatisfied.

Leander had already seen the recent performance of those veterans very clearly.

Usually, this captain would just endure it when these guys secretly went to the Bar Street after patrolling.

Now that these guys were dragging their feet while doing serious work, Leander could no longer tolerate it.

One had to know that a rat was worth a high price; if they didn't put in the effort and just took the money, then Leander had no need to give them this money.

"We, go!" Zhuguli maintained a smile and said to Leander, "We, can!"

Zhuguli, a master of body language, had now become a master of language; simple vocabulary could already express his meaning.

"It's not that you can't; there is generally nothing to eat inside the Fei Qi Xia Shui Dao, and the Mutated Rats are not very willing to go in either. It's just the right opportunity for your trial. Go, don't be like these cowards."

This time, Leander did not let those Warriors enter.

On one hand, there were no rats here to begin with.

On the other hand, it was also a test of the courage of these Xiahui People.

Having someone lead you so you can kill with excitement is different from having no one lead you and exploring on your own.

He didn't even leave any Magical Item for illumination for these Xiahui People, but instead let them go in in the dark.

For the players who had cleared out the sewers, going in in the dark was no big deal; there were some paths they could walk with their eyes closed.

Watching over a hundred Xiahui People file in without the slightest sign of fear, Leander was even more satisfied.

He should report to his superior as soon as possible, and perhaps even recruit more Xiahui People.

These guys were truly too capable, even stronger than he had imagined.

They were simply born Warriors!

"Phew, Boss Zhu, we can't do this next time, it scared me to death." A player slumped on the ground, "I thought we were going to be exposed."

"It's just a Branch Line mission, look at how scared you all are." Zhuguli looked toward the passage of the Lord of Calamity, "Fortunately, there's no problem. Everyone hang around here; if there's no problem, we'll block the entrance to that sewer later to save it from being discovered in the future and reduce the stench a bit."

"I've wanted to do that for a long time." A player who had just respawned this morning said, "Every time I go out from here, I feel like I'm covered in stench. Those veterans always say things, saying that we Xiahui People have a smell on us."

Susan couldn't understand what the people outside were saying, but she could guess that the people outside were all those new Believers.

These new Believers had actually gained the trust of the War Church so quickly; it could be seen that the work of cleaning the Fei Qi Xia Shui Dao had become theirs, which meant that the Lord of Calamity and she were both safe now.

Only those few Believers left behind by Andrew remained terrified.

"Don't be afraid, the people outside are ours." Susan comforted them, "The great Lord of Calamity has already foreseen this matter and has already solved it perfectly."

"Thank heavens, praise the powerful Lord of Calamity." A woman with calloused hands relaxed and bowed respectfully to Chen Zhi.

On the forum, Li You was almost impatient, hoping to get feedback on the effects of the Runes and Charms.

Early in the morning, those players who had logged off gathered together, and almost everyone could comment on Li You's Runes.

In short, they were useful.

And they were cheaper than what the War Church sold!

It was just that there would definitely be flaws; many players had already decided to buy from the War Church first to feel the effect, and then see whether or not to buy the Runes and Charms sold by Li You.

As for those thugs on the Bar Street, they weren't as picky as the guys in the Bing Ying.

Feng Buxi couldn't wait to purchase a large quantity of these defensive-type Runes and Charms immediately.

It wasn't just as simple as them being easy to use, but also because of the patronage of the bar owner, Fred.

This wealthy owner directly purchased five of them at the price of two thousand Tana each.
