Chapter 134: The Goblin Mad King's Awakening

"Don't be afraid, the plan stays the same: we still prioritize pulling talent-type players into the game, and we firmly refuse those of bad conduct and poor ability!"

"After reporting the attitude to the little boss, Ji Ming quickly executed a righteous slash."

"Actually they were the ones who contacted me first; I no longer have their contact information."

"Bai Yesheng finally breathed a sigh of relief."

"That's good, otherwise it'd be harder for you to earn money than for me to lose it."

"?"

"By the way, are we logging in today?"

"…"

"In."

"After watching the fun from the real world, Ji Ming felt the oppression from Sunshine City ease considerably."

"\"I'm just letting you through, don't be so arrogant! \""

"Ji Ming wanted to make a couple of snarky remarks, but seeing her so serious, he swallowed them."

"\"Don't shout; it's already fortunate we haven't taken that traitorous friend who sold us out into custody! \""

"Ji Ming glanced around and slipped a dagger into Bai Yesheng's hand."

"\"Ji Ming, I have a foreboding feeling. \""

"He craned his neck to scan around, but there was nothing behind."

"Two full-sized raging goblins leapt out of the ruins."

"\"Wai Shu, what are you looking at? \""

"No way, this is possible?"

"Ji Ming, crouched behind the low wall waiting for the fun, was stunned."

"\"Tsk, you're very uncivilized…\""

"\"You, what are you doing, looking for something? \""

"Logically they should go, but Bai Yesheng lacks enough Qi and blood, and Ji Ming, due to a bizarre luck, cannot learn normal skills."

"\"Um, you mean…\""

"\"Um, where is this? Does the dungeon have such a tall forest? \""

"\"I'll show you what real pain is! \""

"One fled, the other chased; naturally it alarmed many goblins."

"But the ones before us, with spreading branches and thick trunks, were clearly healthy trees."

"She stood up, clapped her hands, and looked at the experience bar that jumped up a segment in the lower right of the view."

"One can only say goblins are low IQ, especially raging goblins."

"\"Aurora, you're already tier three and it's only tier one, go, go over and slash it! \""

"\"No, don't just see a hole and dive in, are you a cockroach? \""

"After a brief silence, Bai Yesheng suddenly blurted out a line."

"Seeing the raging goblin literally lashing its tongue toward us, Ji Ming almost couldn't catch his breath."

"Ji Ming tried to encourage her, but suddenly felt himself grabbed and thrown out."

"Bai Yesheng was scared out of his backup hidden energy, gritted his teeth and kept running."

"Of course, after announcing the new version, almost all players instantly arrived at the training arena, busy enough that Hawke's feet never touched the ground."

"Bai Yesheng had to mimic the moves from the 'Assassin's Code' and forced himself to start sneaking."

"\"Yeah, there's still an air wall blocking; it'll open tonight. \""

"\"Don't come over, if you come again I'll have to shout! \""

"\"Um, maybe it's a part the devs haven't finished yet, let's go, if a bug appears it won't be good. \""

"\"Pretty impressive, I saw someone on D-site edit this battle into a documentary-like video, and it already hit over a million views. \""

"\"Understood, Great Lord, I'll arrange it right away! \""

"\"Huh? \""

"…"

"Gan."

"\"So, I'm going to start deducing now! \""

"However, a game is a game; becoming a good assassin isn't that easy."

"What a damn vast space, this is clearly a dark forest!"

"Could this be another passage leading to the outside world?"

"\"Come on, louder and it'll hear! \""

"Ji Ming glanced at the map, saw this was already the dungeon's border, feared trouble, so he hurried to chase."

"He could only turn his head back with a puzzled snore."

"\"Ah! \""

"The wild monster density here is low, variety few, and most players have already hit the goblin experience cap."

"When he grabbed the back of Bai Yesheng's collar, lifted her arm and raised her in place, they arrived at a vast space."

"\"You…\""

"Following Ji Ming's gaze, Bai Yesheng also looked into the distance."

"Bai Yesheng naturally knew what Ji Ming was holding, and, frightened, shoved it into the wall."

"Ji Ming was about to walk over, but hesitated and stopped in place."

It seemed to sense an inexplicable stare, lifted its head, and its cold gaze swept across the hall.

Ji Ming took a bottle from his pocket and pretended to unscrew it.

"In the third stage we fight kobolds; the players think these ants are nothing, swaggering, and almost got wiped out by the kobolds."

She brushed her long hair back and placed her hands on her hips.

"Should be, probably, maybe… not?"

But Ji Ming has Precision Throw, and he can now and then fling an iron egg, cutting down all the goblins midway.

So many things have happened these days; recalling the mess of the first day of the closed beta, Ji Ming oddly felt a sense of something sealed for years.

Ji Ming, however, strolled leisurely and even smiled, clapping his hands.

The raging goblin let out a comical cry, instantly twisted its head, and stared, trying to see who it was.

"Rebel, you still dare to be defiant!"

Thus the armory's heat has long faded, quiet and desolate, like a dead picture.

But still bragging in place, a rustling sound came from nearby.

"Don't pull me, I'll go on my own!"

Hearing her analysis, Ji Ming felt uncertain.

While Bai Yesheng rested on the ground, Ji Ming opened the map and began marking.

"The fourth stage is about to begin, and the players once again feel they've stalled."

"Ha!"

The sanctuary that had been drenched by rain was restored to its original state by Yang Yue, looking as clean as if freshly washed.

Just as she was about to reach behind the goblin, she slipped and kicked a stone.

After a brief sigh, the two began searching for goblin traces.

"Gah!"

This is…

"I get it, you're so obvious!"

"Yo yo yo, why aren't you fleeing?"

Bai Yesheng's arms trembled, panting heavily.

Having just defeated the kobolds yesterday, tonight is the players' default rest day.

This place lies in the southeast of the armory; walk a bit further that way and you can circle to the garrison camp.

Soon, amid a small ruin, they discovered a lone little green‑skinned creature.

"Just this? I thought it would be tougher; it's not hard at all."

But unlike before, she did nothing else after logging on, instead began probing herself.

After not waiting long on the bench, Bai Yesheng appeared nearby.

The glowing wild fruit forest is called "Lin"; underground plants can only grow so large. In fact, it's just a group of taller shrubs.

"I…"

Bai Yesheng merely grabbed a shield on the fly and hid behind it, only to be ignored by the raging goblin as if she were background.

Silently stepping forward a few paces, Ji Ming extended two fingers, forming a double‑barreled shotgun.

He rose, swung a shovel in each hand, and chased toward the direction Bai Yesheng fled.

"I just panicked a bit, right? Anyway, you're high level, so you're not scared."

Unfortunately, Bai Yesheng's health and agility were abysmal; she barely made it to a stone wall and could no longer run.

"He's cute, you all tease him!"

"He's a solo streamer; getting 30% of the gifts is good, so roughly it's 1.13 million."

Ji Ming expressionlessly unscrewed the lid and poured a drop onto his glove.

Faint beast howls could be heard; Ji Ming quickly grabbed Bai Yesheng and returned to the dungeon.

Bai Yesheng turned her cheek, a worried expression on her face.

【Ge Ruisen, immediately summon a clone to block, and open it later when the dungeon develops.】

"Then, during the second stage fighting slimes, the players were seriously preparing a group assault, and the slimes launched a counterattack."

"Call it whatever you want, there's nobody here anyway."

"Hey, don't run, it's just two of them, you can beat them!"

"Can't help it, let's retrace our steps; I'll take you to grind levels."

"And now…"

"That over there isn't the so‑called garrison camp, is it?"

"They… threaten…"

?

After handling the follow‑up matters, Ji Ming looked east.

Bai Yesheng pulled up the public screen, which was full of players' excited remarks, each one shouting millions, and those unaware might think it was a stock discussion group.

She froze for a moment, then without a word turned and ran.

"The officials are really bad; I always feel this is all a smokescreen, they won't come out, but instead counter‑attack the players, right?"

They cannot band together, so they naturally cannot trigger the so‑called "Undead Tide".

Bai Yesheng stepped back a few paces and finally leaned against the wall.

Moreover, the stone hit precisely on the goblin's heel.

"Aurora, you can betray your brothers over killing a little monster in the game today—I can't imagine what you'll do next!"

Bai Yesheng, shield in hand, moved behind the Frenzied Goblin and stabbed it in the back.

"Don't let me catch you—once I do, you won't get any good fruit juice!"

I've seen the video of the first day of the closed beta online; this must be where the first big battle broke out.

Isn't this my line?

"Um..."

Actually, it should be 1,440,000.

Where's the promised capital-rich lady? How can her appearance be so sleazy?

Ji Ming thought for a moment.

In his panic, he spotted a crack and slipped inside.

【Notice, there is a crack here leading to the outside】

"Feels great, I want to touch my one million."

Bai Yesheng looked around for a while, then pointed to a small pit on the ground.

"Holy shit!"

"You see, when the players first started attacking the Frenzied Goblin in phase one, the goblin launched a counterattack."

Then Ji Ming and Bai Yesheng came to the armory, standing amidst familiar ruins.

Like scolding a child, the louder he shouted, the faster Bai Yesheng ran.

"Aurora Dance, you deserve to die!!!"

"Aurora Dance, you're finished today."

"Yeah, they wanted to wipe out all the goblins in one go, but ended up almost being wiped out by the goblins instead."

Last time in the battle against the Dog-headed People, the poison gas bomb gained fame; not to mention, even the related merchandise sold out repeatedly.

From kilometers away, the mad king sleeping on his throne trembled slightly.

"You you you, how could you waste money buying something like this!!"

In the dim light, faintly visible were stretches of ruined buildings, and at the center a castle whose three towers had collapsed.

Faintly, it seemed as if something was whispering in my ear.

"Slaughter, follows me..."

His claws gradually clenched, and a faint light sparked in the mad king's dull red eyes.
