Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Rest for a Few Days

Black Face’s voice, filled with murderous intent, rang out again: “The Smiling Alliance is now issuing a wanted order. Anyone providing information about those people will be rewarded with 10,000 Gold Coins, and those who capture them will be rewarded with 50,000 Gold Coins!”

“Holy shit! 50,000 Gold Coins!”

“That’s enough for me to buy several pieces of low-level equipment!”

“Damn! This alliance is really rich. I’ve been busting my ass and haven’t saved up even 2,000 Gold Coins, and they’re offering 50,000 just like that. They’re really loaded!”

Zhu Qiang chuckled softly on the side: “At that price, I’m tempted. I want to turn myself in.”

Ye Chen said in a low voice: “Alright, we can leave now.”

With that said, everyone quietly left the spot.

On the way, Ye Chen said to Iron Bull: “Iron Bull, during this period, no matter what happens, you can’t let the Vajra Ape appear, understand?”

“Got it, Brother Chen!”

Iron Bull nodded seriously.

“It seems that we need to act carefully during this period.”

Ye Chen was making plans in his heart, intending to lay low for a while and do nothing during this time.

To check how the wind blows outside, now that the wanted order has just been issued, many people are keenly interested.

In the Aggregation District, there must be a large number of Pet Tamers or squads looking for traces of our group.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, it’s better to wait before taking action.

Ye Chen returned to Fengyuan Apartments, found a room, and settled in temporarily.

Back inside, everyone lounged lazily on the sofa.

The little one nestled in Yu Nian’s arms, this little one was clueless. Where did they come from, who are their parents, or anyone they remember?

All the answers were head shakes: I don’t know.

Lin Nuoyi, sitting on the sofa, asked: “Ye Chen, now there are already Level 15-20 monsters. Shouldn’t we go out and take a look?”

Ye Chen shook his head and said: “Not yet. Recently, there must be many people outside looking for us. Let’s wait a bit before going out.”

Lin Nuoyi made an “oh” sound, indicating understanding. She seemed a bit bored, opened the Monster Chat Room, and suddenly exclaimed: “Everyone, look at the chat room!”

Everyone quickly opened the Monster Chat Room:

“A Level 16 monster was discovered at the Roman Homestead!”

“I have one here too!”

“Many monsters above Level 16 have arrived this time!”

“They’re becoming smarter than before!”

“Also, have you noticed that monsters are starting to devour other monsters now!”

“…”

Zhu Qiang jumped up from the sofa: “Monsters killing each other?”

Ye Chen furrowed his brow and spoke his thoughts: “Now monsters above Level 16 have evolved intelligence. They definitely know the principle of getting stronger. Since they’re killing each other, it means that devouring one another can enhance their strength, which is why they’re doing it.”

Everyone fell silent.

Looking at everyone’s worried faces, Ye Chen laughed: “Don’t be afraid. Don’t forget that we are at the lowest Level 8 now. There’s nothing to fear.”

“Yeah! I totally forgot I’m Level 8 now, nothing to be afraid of!”

In the following days, everyone stayed in the room, played cards, and played mahjong, as if they were on vacation.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen and the others had been inside for seven days.

During these seven days, nothing major happened outside.

However, the conflict between the Smiling Alliance and the Dark Alliance grew. They had already fought several times.

That morning, Ye Chen got up and said: “Alright everyone, now that the Smiling Alliance and the Dark Alliance are entangled, we can go out.”

Zhu Qiang shouted loudly: “Great, finally we can go out! If we don’t go out soon, I’ll go crazy!”

At nine in the morning.

Ye Chen opened the door and went outside.

Lin Nuoyi and the others stretched and took a deep breath.

“Ah! The smell of freedom!”

Zhu Qiang sighed.

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, walking downstairs.

At the entrance, there was a girl in a combat suit, slim and pretty standing there.

Beside her were five men also in combat suits. The girl was Tang Qiu.

“Captain Ye, long time no see!”

Tang Qiu said with a smile.

Ye Chen greeted: “Long time no see.”

Lin Nuoyi went forward and hugged Tang Qiu, exclaiming: “Sister Tang Qiu, it’s been a few days and you’re already Level 9!”

Tang Qiu smiled wryly: “With the appearance of high Level monsters, leveling up is also quick now. On the street, it’s common to see Pet Tamers above Level 6.”

Tang Qiu saw the little one in Yu Nian’s arms, surprised: “Yu Nian, who is this?”

Yu Nian smiled: “A little girl we picked up.”

Tang Qiu made an “oh” sound, not overly suspicious.

Luckily, Ye Chen, to prevent the little one’s identity from being exposed, spent 50 Points in the Points Mall to buy something to hide information, concealing the little one’s data.

Yu Nian softly said to the little one: “Little one, come, call Aunt Tang Qiu.”

The little one clearly preferred girls more: “Auntie!”

The word “Auntie” made Tang Qiu beam with joy.

“Hey, are we going or not? We still have a mission to execute. At this time, you have the mood to bring a tag-along.”

A slightly mocking voice came through.

Ye Chen looked toward the voice, among the five people.

The person’s information quickly appeared.

Gu Ming.

Level 9 Pet Tamer.

Tang Qiu said embarrassedly: “I forgot to introduce, this is Gu Ming, captain of the Bright Moon Squad. These are his team members, all Level 7 Pet Tamers.”

Lin Nuoyi nodded and said: “Oh, I see. I thought they were your team members!”

Tang Qiu covered her mouth and laughed: “I wouldn’t dare. I currently don’t have team members of my own.”

“Are we leaving or not!”

Gu Ming said impatiently: “A group of scattered team members. I thought there were some powerful characters, really. I wouldn’t have come if I had known!”

This remark ignited Zhu Qiang’s anger, who stepped forward and pointed at Gu Ming: “Who are you talking about! So what if we’re scattered! So what!”

Gu Ming sneered: “I’m talking about you scattered team members. You’re all trash! Understand? Trash!”

“Damn you!”

Zhu Qiang instantly got furious.

Tang Qiu quickly stepped forward to calm everyone: “Alright, alright everyone, stop arguing. We’re all on the same side. We have serious things to do!”

Ye Chen said in a cold voice to Zhu Qiang: “Zhu Qiang, come back. Don’t lower yourself to their level.”

Zhu Qiang snorted coldly and returned to Ye Chen’s side.

Tang Qiu smiled wryly: “Let’s go. This time we’re facing a Level 16 monster, we’d better be careful.”

Ye Chen nodded and said: “Alright, let’s go!”

Tang Qiu’s group brought two Battle Armor Vehicles, one for Gu Ming’s group of five, and one for Tang Qiu and Ye Chen’s group.

Tang Qiu drove, and Ye Chen sat in the passenger seat.

Luckily the vehicle was large, with two rows of seats in the back, enough for Yu Nian and the others to sit.

Suddenly, while driving, Tang Qiu asked: “Do you know about the Smiling Alliance being robbed?”
