Volume 1, Chapter 59: Let's Play a Game

Gu Jingyan chose the location on the fourth underground floor of the hospital—the basement morgue.

Originally, seeing that Gu Jingyan was in poor health, Lin Hao had no desire to agree. However, Gu Jingyan was extremely stubborn, and unable to talk him out of it, Lin Hao could only repeatedly urge him to call immediately if anything came up.

Gu Jingyan agreed with a smile, but clearly did not take it to heart.

Watching Gu Jingyan and Jiang Chenyu leave hand in hand, Lin Hao let out another helpless sigh. "Huanxi was far too ruthless with his strikes, look at what he did to old Gu's face. It's fortunate that someone as magnanimous as Chenyu, acting like a sister-in-law, doesn't hold it against him..."

Qin Fei and Li Wen exchanged glances, then lowered their heads in silence, not daring to...

After killing another zombie with a single strike, Li Feng silently allocated his reaction stat to 12 and his agility to 10.

"Today's morning court session is cancelled to give those people a chance to shine. Help me notify old Zhao so he can pass the word along, or you can go check on things yourself and collect any memorials. I'm going to sleep a bit longer; you completely drained me last night." Tuoba Tuo finished speaking incoherently and drifted back to sleep. Xiao Ran wore a wry smile, mixed with a subtle hint of joy.

Although BF made the decisive choice to have all five members gather in the mid lane to force a team fight and compel SS to engage, who could have foreseen that even after winning the team fight, BF would still watch as SS consecutively took down two of their defensive towers? By comparison, what did BF actually gain? Just two utterly insignificant kills?

Oh please, the endorsement deals that you and Kong Zhenzhen fought tooth and nail for couldn't even reach Zhenxi's pillow, yet you treat them like prized treasures.

Zhenxi genuinely loathed having "a little chat" about these matters. As if everything could be resolved simply by having a chat! If that were the case, what need would there be for laws, or for the police?

Unlike the familiar secret realm treasure hunts and the like, the secret realms of the Main God's world could essentially be described as entire continents specially prepared for travelers. It was equivalent to transporting travelers to an entirely brand-new continent, where the primary objective was to acquire soul power.

Li Feng was beginning to care less and less about the safety of these human beings. Upon closer reflection, he could not pinpoint when or where it had started, but he had grown increasingly indifferent toward humans—creatures of the same species as himself. He no longer held much emotional attachment to beings who were once his own kind.

Seeing Xiao Ran crying from sheer anger, Lu Lan was instantly at a loss. She was only eight years old this year, and these were things she was encountering for the very first time in her life.

In the outermost spacious chamber, more than twenty ninja had gathered, several of whom were injured with gauze wrapped around their heads and hands. These people seemed as though they had yet to snap out of the terrifying battle that had just transpired.

"Sixth brother, we must slowly grow accustomed to this—accustomed to such battlefields and environments. In the future, there will be no shortage of times when we must lead troops into battle ourselves, conquering new territories and building career achievements for His Majesty the Emperor. Once you've seen enough of it, you won't vomit anymore." Just as Li Hao finished speaking, he couldn't help but retch violently once more.

"So that's how it is! No wonder something felt off—it turns out to be playing a long game to catch a big fish!" Wu Feng nodded and muttered to himself.

"Uh..." Wu Feng was also left speechless. Given his advanced age, he must have achieved exceptionally high mastery in his particular field, which probably explained why the God of Blacksmiths lacked deep worldly sophistication and ended up in this current state.

"We finally made it out." With slightly trembling hands, a pale complexion, and cold sweat breaking out all over his body, Qi Mingying turned back to look at the skeletal monsters—which seemed bound by territorial restrictions and dared not cross a certain boundary—and said with lingering fear.

Jessica's body was actively responding to the call for food... Not long ago, Huey and Alpha had diagnosed her as being "starved to the point of fainting."

The groupings among the teachers had already been finalized; today was simply a matter of announcing the areas assigned to each group's instructors.

For beings above the King tier who belonged to the same race, telepathic communication was possible, which was why Haier was able to reach his father from the Blue Planet, despite his father being in some unknown location.

He filled a cup for Zhao Xue, and the two of them drank. Whenever Chenuo thought back to the time he intercepted Zhang Ji's pursuing forces on the roads of Jing County, a multitude of unanswered questions still lingered in his mind. The scene of him fiercely fighting Zhang Xiu with a spear that day remained vivid in his memory. Now that Zhao Xue was right by his side, he could finally ask her about some of those matters.

This was a question, and a very easy one to answer, especially for Su Lin, because Su Lin was thoroughly familiar with this type of robotic knight.

Without redundant words and without the slightest hesitation, a fierce halberd light flashed across the air. Amidst a splatter of blood, the eight elders of the Qingyun Sect simultaneously took their final breaths.

Qin Yu was startled, no longer caring about concealing her movements. In an instant, she cycled through hand seals several times, attempting to stabilize her disturbed vital energy once more—yet the force coming from Lu启明's (Lu Qiming's) side always proved more troublesome than she had anticipated. Left with no other choice and daring not hesitate further, she could only hastily initiate the next seal.

The vegetation here grew far too luxuriantly; flowers clustered in brilliant profusion, vividly colorful and blooming with an almost excessive vibrancy.

Everyone in the grand hall argued from day to night, eventually parting ways on bad terms. Venerable Shiye departed with the other elders, but this time, apart from Venerable Shanhua, even Venerable Fahui chose to stay behind.

A few days later, seeing that the first half of Zhunong's cultivation period had passed, Zhu Wuneng, who had been recuperating quietly in the hospital, had also recovered quite well. Although his eunuch condition showed no signs of improvement whatsoever, at least his external injuries were completely fine.

Gu Xunfeng and Hou Fangzhou looked at the old man before them with faces full of apprehension, attempting to use their own backgrounds to pressure him.

However, lying flat on their backs before the Japanese pirates were hundreds of corpses, each with a foot planted squarely upon its chest. Following these legs upward, one would see a hundred powerfully built warriors with bare chests and exposed bellies.

"What are you afraid of? Could there possibly be anyone capable of killing this poor monk? What a joke," Tang Seng said dismissively.

Morgana instantly channeled the power of the nightmare within her hands, planting it deep into Kha'Zix's mind just as the insect was recovering its freedom.

In fact, if the apparel business truly grew massive in the late Ming Dynasty, he wouldn't mind opening a clothing manufacturing plant of his own.

Yang Feng reined in his horse ahead of the battle lines. Upon hearing the gongs sounding a retreat, he knew that Han Xian and Hu Cai had successfully persuaded Guo Tai to withdraw his troops. Consequently, he began commanding his own soldiers to slowly fall back, remaining vigilant in case the Xiliang soldiers sortied for a counterattack.
