Chapter 35: Shamelessness and Unbelievable Luck
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“You…”
Sensing the coldness from the Frost Blade, Zhou Xing lost all his fury and resolve.
“Why? You’re unwilling to tell?”
Xia Feng pointed the Frost Blade at Zhou Xing’s teammate. His implication was obvious.
“Xia Feng, I didn’t expect you to be so shameless as the top on the World Ranking.”
Zhou Xing was reluctant to admit defeat.
“I beat you fair and square. How’s that shameless? As for what I’m doing right now, it’s just a method,” Xia Feng solemnly corrected him.
Then, he took out the Lightning Crossbow, and aimed it at Zhou Xing’s teammates.
“I’ll give you another 10 seconds.”
This time, Zhou Xing replied without any hesitation. Staring at Xia Feng, he solemnly said, “I took part in the closed beta test.”
“Tell me about your closed beta test experience.”
Xia Feng asked further as he had already guessed that piece of information from their earlier communication. The man only confirmed it.
His life being at Xia Feng’s mercy, Zhou Xing could only answer questions obediently.
“The closed beta test started 10 days before the open beta test. There were 3,000 players. Rules in the closed beta test were almost the same as those in the open beta test.”
“Almost the same?” Xia Feng repeated those words.
“Yes, but there’s one difference. The players in the closed beta test wouldn’t really die.”
“You wouldn’t die?” Xia Feng frowned. “Doesn’t it mean that you could go anywhere you wanted?”
If that was true, Xia Feng might have to reevaluate the players from the closed beta test, for they probably knew more than he had anticipated.
However, what Zhou Xing said made him give up the plan of reassessment.
“Do you think it was a good thing that we wouldn’t die?”
Fright appeared on Zhou Xing’s face as he talked about it, as if he remembered something horrible.
He licked his dry lips, and mumbled, “While the players in the closed beta test wouldn’t die, we would be confined in a dark room for 24 hours after we took a fatal hit.
“During the 24 hours, we couldn’t talk or move. We could only gaze at the quiet, dark environment. Trust me, that’s even more horrifying than death.”
Zhou Xing breathed heavily after saying that. Clearly, he had been personally confined in a dark room earlier.
Xia Feng was quite surprised at Zhou Xing’s description. He didn’t expect such a rule.
But of course, Xia Feng wouldn’t sympathize with him just because of that.
After that, Xia Feng interrogated Zhou Xing for other information about the beta test.
However, Zhou Xing’s answers were slightly disappointing. Most of what he mentioned wasn’t new to Xia Feng. There were only several things that Xia Feng didn’t know.
For example, the UID of the players from the closed beta test in the open beta test was 1 to 3000.
There was no telling whether Zhou Xing was keeping secrets, or that was really all he knew, but Xia Feng wasn’t satisfied with the inquiry.
Therefore, he intended to extort something from them.
Clearing his throat, Xia Feng casually said, “Okay, enough chitchat. Now let’s talk about business.”
He was not a bloodthirsty person. Also, Zhou Xing had never shown any intention of killing him, so he decided to spare them.
“Chitchat? Business? What do you mean, Xia Feng?”
Zhou Xing suddenly had a bad feeling. He realized that he might have underestimated the guy’s brazenness.
“My meaning is simple. You and your teammates are all under my control. Trade things for your life.”
Xia Feng looked around at Zhou Xing and his teammates, and listed the ransom that they had to pay. “Zhou Xing, as the captain, your life is more valuable. You can get it back with a piece of superior equipment. As for your teammates, each of them will give me one piece of rare equipment.”
“Xia Feng, how shameless of you.” Zhou Xing gnashed his teeth.
“Very well. For that, you’re losing all your Source Crystals. Remember to give me your Source Crystals when you hand over your equipment.”
“You…” Zhou Xing was infuriated and about to yell, but he managed to hold back the profanities when he saw the wicked smile on Xia Feng’s face.
Eventually, Zhou Xing and his teammates paid one piece of superior equipment, three pieces of rare equipment, and 156 Source Crystals for their lives.
Looking at Zhou Xing and his teammates who were about to leave through one channel, Xia Feng waved at them with a brilliant smile.
“Guys, good bye. I look forward to meeting you again.”
Hearing that, Zhou Xing and his teammates walked away without looking back.
They had never seen anyone as shameless. To make things worse, this shameless guy was too strong to beat.
Seeing off Zhou Xing and his team, Xia Feng looked at the equipment he got.
It included one belt and three red swords.
[Superior Endurance Belt: This is a piece of spiritual equipment that can increase your endurance. You’ll gain more endurance if you put it on.]
[This is great equipment, but some self-control is always necessary.]
It was not a bad belt, not because it could increase endurance, but because it was pretty.
Just look at the runes on the surface of the belt.
Xia Feng quickly put on the belt, and looked at the red sword.
[Rare Red-Striped Longsword: This is a sharp spiritual sword. The wounds it causes will continue to bleed.]
[It’s hard to stop the wounds caused by this sword from bleeding. Use it cautiously.]
The Red-Striped Longsword was almost as good as the Frost Blade.
Xia Feng happily collected all the spiritual equipment. At this moment, he had a lot of spiritual equipment.
He thought that he could give some of it to the members of the Xia Alliance to strengthen them.
I thought 100-200 points of combat ability wasn’t bad, but they couldn’t even make it to the World Ranking. I miscalculated.
While thinking, Xia Feng took out a piece of gold, and threw it to the far end of the island.
After dropping the gold, Xia Feng ran as fast as he could, and stopped 10 meters away from the Gold Eater.
All he needed to do next was wait patiently.
The Gold Eaters fed on metals. They wouldn’t randomly attack other creatures as long as they weren’t pissed off.
About 10 minutes later, the iron cube near the Golden Chest finally moved.
It slowly extended its arms, and then its feet. Soon, a two-meter-tall Gold Eater revealed itself in front of Xia Feng.
Is this a Mutated Gold Eater? It’s so much bigger than a regular Gold Eater.
Looking at the Mutated Gold Eater that was gradually attracted to the gold, Xia Feng was quite surprised.
Normal Gold Eaters were only 1.5 meters tall.
Watching the Gold Eater go away, Xia Feng quickly ran to the Golden Chest and opened it.
[System notification: Golden Chest +1]
[System notification: Upgrade Scroll For Exquisite Shelter +1]
[System notification: Recipe of Perfect Wings of Light +1]
[System notification: Recipe of Ordinary Holy Lady Stick +1]
Xia Feng rubbed his eyes hard after reading the system notifications before he looked at them again.
His eyes didn’t deceive him. It was exactly a perfect recipe for wing equipment.
“Shoot! I’m really lucky!”
