Free Web NovelChapter 340: Chapter 262: Chief Manda, Great Slave Lord (2)
Ruan Saint and the others exchanged glances before quickly bowing to Chief Manda. "We are willing to follow you, Chief Manda!" they declared in unison.
Manda laughed heartily. "Very good," she said. "You’ve made the right choice. Follow me back to Feisha City. From now on, you’ll serve under me and become the Fourth Celestial Calamity!"
"Thank you for taking us in, Chief Manda!"
"We’ll follow your lead from now on!"
"Luan Bu was completely unreliable. You’re the real deal, Chief Manda!"
Ruan Saint and his men were doing their utmost to flatter Manda.
They knew full well that this stunningly beautiful female Player was a ruthless figure. If they didn’t submit today, they would likely meet their end right here.
Besides, joining Feisha City wasn’t a bad choice either.
Manda’s power was known by nearly everyone in the Valon World.
In fact, by now, all the Newbie Worlds had gone through the World of Suffering storyline, and in the Valon World, the one who had cleared it was none other than Manda!
Not long ago, she had even obtained the S-Class World Secret Treasure, the [Light of Technology], from the Chaotic World Royal Court!
She had Celestial God Level Terminators and powerful soldiers under her command, allowing her to easily defend against the fifth wave of the void invasion. Her army was strong, she was filthy rich, and, rarest of all, she had a Soul Altar in her territory.
As far as Ruan Saint and the others were concerned, becoming Manda’s subordinate wasn’t shameful at all; in fact, it might even be a very promising path!
What Ruan Saint and his men didn’t know was that Manda hadn’t come to the Oasis Territory to eliminate the Destruction. Her original target had been to take out Luan Bu.
At that moment, a smile graced Manda’s face as she sat upon the Golden Throne. She slowly took out a Scroll and used it. A system prompt, inaudible to anyone else, immediately sounded in her mind.
"Ding! You have collected the S-Class Talent [Star Beast Lord] in the current abandoned territory. Do you wish to usurp it?"
"Usurp!"
"Ding! Usurpation Scroll consumed. Talent usurpation successful. Congratulations on obtaining a new Lord Talent. Your original Talent, [Chaos Mutation], has been replaced."
"Haha!" Manda was overjoyed. ’This S-Class Talent is finally in my hands,’ she thought to herself. ’That Destruction actually did me a huge favor. Now I can start exploring the Starry Sky. With the Star Beast Lord Talent, building a Starry Sky Beast Team is no longer just a dream!’
After calming down, Manda recalled what Ji Liangren had said earlier and muttered to herself, ’Godslayer Zhao Weike... Someone who can dispatch a Destruction unit like that can’t be a pushover. He might become a major enemy in the future!’
Little did she know, while this Godslayer Zhao Weike was a real person, he was no Chaos Lord.
He was, one could say, a rival of Ji Liangren, who had casually dropped his name purely to deceive her. freёweɓnovel.com
At that very moment, Ji Liangren was reviving at a Soul Altar at the foot of White Bone Mountain, just outside the White Bone Array.
’Back to square one,’ he thought. ’My Dogman God class is gone. I’m back in my initial state—blank stats and not a single skill!’
Ji Liangren surveyed his surroundings and muttered again, ’I have no idea where this is. Is the boss going to come for me? He wouldn’t lie to me, would he?’
Feeling a little apprehensive, Ji Liangren slowly headed down the mountain. He was a stranger in a strange land, with not a soul in sight and no idea where to go.
A moment later, a "flying disc" appeared in Ji Liangren’s line of sight. It approached rapidly and soon hovered right in front of him.
The flying disc was the Star Compass, and Wang Yi was standing upon it.
The moment Ji Liangren revived, Wang Yi had received a system prompt informing him that his Destruction mission had failed and that he had revived at a Soul Altar.
He was now here specifically to "guide" Ji Liangren.
"Mission complete?" Wang Yi asked.
"More or less," Ji Liangren replied. "I killed that Luan Bu and dismantled the Soul Altar in his territory, so he should be just an Adventurer now. But I couldn’t take out his subordinates. There’s this woman, Manda, who’s super arrogant. She has a Celestial God Level Terminator, and it... terminated me."
"Manda?"
"Yep. Goes by Chief Manda. That woman is something else. Her territory is developing really well, and I heard she got an S-Class World Secret Treasure from the Chaotic World Royal Court!"
"Oh."
Wang Yi made a silent mental note. ’The World Secret Treasures from the Chaotic World Royal Court are just my leftovers,’ he thought.
"You performed a great service this time, and I always keep my word. Here’s a Reclassification Certificate for you. From now on, you’re a member of Huaguo Mountain. Let me show you around the territory first."
Wang Yi handed the [Great Slave Lord’s Reclassification Certificate] to Ji Liangren and invited him onto the Star Compass.
Soon, the Star Compass took off again, heading slowly toward Eggshell City. Wang Yi then asked Ji Liangren, "Dog Head, do you like soccer?"
"Soccer? What do you mean?"
"I’m laying out a growth path for you! A Great Slave Lord can form contracts with slaves. Once you have enough of them, leading them into battle is pretty much the same as leading an army. My territory has a Super God Football pitch, so why not use your slaves to form a soccer team!"
"Huh? Boss, I don’t get it. What the hell is a soccer team? What’s the damn point of playing soccer!"
"That just shows your ignorance. Go check out the Super God Football pitch for yourself later..."
As he spoke, Wang Yi adopted a wistful expression, sighed, and said, "Alas, the local soccer team here on Huaguo Mountain is too weak. The top three teams on Yamero Star are probably two entire tiers stronger..." freёweɓnovel.com
"Huh?"
Ji Liangren didn’t quite understand, but he was already happily examining the details of the [Great Slave Lord] class.
A short while later, Wang Yi brought Ji Liangren to the Eco-Castle. After a brief introduction to the others, he took him to the Military Intelligence Camp to get registered, then sent him off to the Super God Football pitch.
Wang Yi placed great importance on the Super God Football pitch. After all, the Supreme Jersey and the Super God Football itself could both grow into Divine Artifacts. Once the Super God Football team was established, their combat power would be immense.
After leaving Ji Liangren to figure things out on his own, Wang Yi hurried toward the southern part of his territory.
The ancestral industry, the [Bronze Winery], had appeared in the south of the territory. Wang Yi was very curious about this second ancestral business and decided to go investigate.
The Bronze Winery was located right next to the Bronze Melon Field. Outwardly, it looked like a small Bronze Courtyard containing a Bronze Thatched House, a large backyard, and an underground cellar. That was all.
Wang Yi explored the inside and soon found the ancestral Brewers. As he’d expected, they were all Terracotta Warriors. There were ten of them in total, and their numbers would increase periodically in the future.
These Terracotta Warriors, despite being Brewers, didn’t actually know how to brew wine. They produced the ancestral vintage by "unearthing" it.
The winery’s cellar was, for all intents and purposes, a massive archeological dig site.
All the ancestral vintages were dug up from the ground, each stored in its own Bronze Wine Jar.
’As expected of an ancestral business. This is nuts,’ Wang Yi thought. ’The ancestral vintages are literally unearthed artifacts. It doesn’t get more "ancestral" than this. I wonder which of my ancestors buried it all...’
Wang Yi found the whole thing bizarre.
He quickly began to inspect the ancestral vintages. There were three types in total: [Furong Brew], [Drunken Immortal Elder], and [Fire Dragon Fish].
These three 5,000-year-old vintages were all stored in bronze jars, which were sealed perfectly. The liquid itself was not bronze in color; it was drinkable and possessed mysterious effects, though the specific nature of these effects was unknown.
As industrial products that were also unearthed artifacts, the three types of wine could be sold directly to the system. A single jar was worth Five Gold Coins. Moreover, as long as he configured it in the Bronze Winery’s information panel, the ancestral Brewers would handle the sales automatically.
’The scale of this business is much smaller than the Bronze Melon Field,’ Wang Yi mused. ’With ten ancestral Brewers, who knows how many jars they can dig up in a day. When it comes to making money, it definitely won’t be able to compete with the Bronze Melon Field...’
Wang Yi mused to himself as he sniffed the three types of wine in their jars.
’A 5,000-year-old vintage...’
Steeling himself, Wang Yi took a sip. The Furong Brew was a sweet wine and quite delicious. After drinking it, he felt his vision sharpen.
The Drunken Immortal Elder was incredibly mellow and fragrant but had a strong kick. Drinking it seemed to relieve fatigue and made him want to fall right asleep.
As for the Fire Dragon Fish, it was even more potent than Mortal Strong Wine. Drinking it was extremely refreshing.
