Chapter 538: Meeting of the Two Gods
The curtain of fire rose. Gu Sanqiu covered his chest and looked at the thin curtain of fire, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Well, that's the worst possible scenario.
All the strength he had recovered after the battle with Dain was used up, and he even lost a lot of money, not to mention the wound on his chest. If he wasn't thick-skinned, that blow would definitely have been a penetrating wound.
Gu Sanqiu supported himself on the ground and stood up, wanting to go over and see what had just attacked him.
"Is this it?"
Gu Sanqiu looked at the pile of wreckage on the ground with some disbelief. Those were the relic machines that had been destroyed by his natural disaster attack. He didn't expect that the attack core was still functioning!
"In other words, it could have been integrated into the Relic Heavy Machine to increase its firepower, but it just sat there pretending to be dead, waiting for me to relax so it could give me a big reward?"
Gu Sanqiu suddenly felt suffocated, so these relic machines must be controlled by someone!
Don't tell me that this is a combat procedure designed by Kanriya's scientific research team in the past!
Even dogs wouldn’t believe this!
Gu Sanqiu was so angry that he kicked it to pieces. If the relic machine had this level of combat intelligence, it would be strange if the seven countries on earth could still maintain their intact structure!
"Challenge successful, settlement in progress..."
"Obtained 18,000 Ancient Divine Coins."
so much?
Gu Sanqiu was stunned for a moment. The money he got this time was enough to recruit a Narsus in one go.
But then his face darkened. If he fought a battle of the same intensity as before, would it mean that he had fought eighteen battles in a row?
From the previous enemies, Gu Sanqiu knew that the golden Ancient God Coins were the highest tier, and the maximum reward for each battle was one thousand Ancient God Coins.
Gu Sanqiu was even more certain that someone was secretly causing trouble.
This is because you think that having only one or two robots at a time is not exciting enough, so you pull all of them in one go!
Is it really okay for you to play with the rules like this?
Gu Sanqiu adjusted his breathing on the spot without hesitation. According to the normal trajectory, he would have achieved 72 consecutive victories in defeating these relic machines.
But with the help of an unknown person, he jumped to 90 consecutive wins.
According to the routines of the previous times, some unexpected situations will occur every time a special stage is reached.
For example, the elemental buff that Karaniko bought with the ancient god money.
The 91st game was about to begin. Considering the situation he had just encountered, Gu Sanqiu . He always felt like he had been cheated.
But this time the portal did not open for a long time. Instead, a red ball of light fell from the sky, and the scorching hot power healed Gu Sanqiu's injuries.
"What's going on? We'll have a bye next round?"
He shook his head. There were quite a few strong people in Teyvat. He didn't think that the person behind the arena couldn't find a suitable opponent. This should be the "abnormal change" he had just guessed.
At this time in a high-end teahouse in Liyue Harbor, Zhongli was calmly drinking tea and playing chess with the handsome-looking young man wearing a small hat opposite him.
"If you don't pay attention, you'll lose in three steps."
"Ahhh, I came here to have a drink with you, why did you drag me to a place like this where senior citizens gather to drink tea and play chess, you bastard!"
Wendy slapped the table in dissatisfaction. If there weren't any private rooms here, Wendy's words and actions would definitely cause dissatisfaction and hostility from the group of elegant guests.
"You have a job, don't you? You saved up all these years to treat me to a nice meal, paired with your Liyue specialty wine. Would you spend all your savings? After all, we have been friends for so many years!"
"You are far worse than your son in this aspect. My nephew always treats me to a meal whenever he sees me. Why can't you learn this quality from your son?"
"From a universal point of view, it's just that he hasn't found the right way to get along with you."
Zhongli played chess calmly: "Xiao Sanqiu is too fussy. He is too soft-hearted to the people around him, but I won't."
"Oh, what a rigid and old man."
Wendy sneered: "As expected, an old man like you can't be confused with a young leader like me. There is still an unbridgeable generation gap between us."
Zhongli glanced at Wendy and said, "Drunkard Poet, you still seem to think of yourself as a leader?"
"Of course. I am the God of a Thousand Winds. If I can't lead Mondstadt, who else can be qualified?"
Zhongli stabbed accurately: "I think Dekalabian is not bad. At least he helped when the problem occurred in the snow mountain last time. He seems to be much more dedicated than you."
"fart!"
Wendy was immediately furious: "How can that stupid Tornado compare to me? He is just a simple-minded and stubborn guy. How can he be a match for Lord Barbatos!"
Zhongli added: "You seem to have forgotten that gods can change their forms freely. The Diocletian you met was the one you described. Maybe he was just too lazy to deal with you."
"Old Stone, do you want to fight?"
Zhongli added: "Based on common sense, you don't seem to be my opponent."
The corner of Wendy's mouth twitched, and her right hand subconsciously grasped the teacup, as if she had the urge to splash the expensive tea on Zhongli's face.
"I'm beginning to miss my oldest nephew. At least he doesn't mock or provoke me like that."
"That's why I said Xiao Sanqiu is too soft-hearted ."
Zhongli looked up at the sky and said, "It has started over there too. You came here for this, right? I have to say you are quite good at predicting things."
"Yeah, the Ancient God Arena and the Vulcan Trial Field are pretty similar, that troublesome guy."
Wendy held her face with one hand and played with the chess piece in her hand with the other.
"Why, as the contract is about to end, you old man are starting to let yourself go? Are you really willing to let your nephew enter the eyes of a ruler again?"
"That Nata doesn't like him."
Zhongli said calmly: "Sending Xiao Sanqiu to that place, a hundred consecutive victories is indeed a bit difficult, but it is not an unattainable goal for him."
"This trial actually has a reference answer."
"By defeating the enemy, earning Ancient God money, and finally recruiting strong people, you don't need to fight for a hundred consecutive victories from the beginning, but you can do it slowly."
"Using myself as the arrow, I lead these strong men step by step towards victory, and finally hold high the crown of victory."
"This is a qualified king of war. Behind his sword, thousands of people follow him, and all corners of the country submit to him when his iron hooves trample on him."
"In the team led by the little god, no one retreated even when facing the demon god. His extreme fighting will and murderous aura even made the demon god afraid of him. With such a leader in front of them, how could the soldiers be weak?"
"But Xiao Sanqiu didn't do that. With his personality, he would definitely fight to the end regardless of the consequences. He would kill anyone who dared to stand in his way."
Zhongli sighed, "He is nothing like Xiaoshen. Should I say he is a fool, or should I say he is naive to the point of being foolish? When he heard my order, he subconsciously followed my goal of breaking through the arena."
"Nata doesn't like people like this. If she knew Xiaoshen's life, she would probably prefer someone who is both a good general and a handsome man. That's why I feel relieved to let Xiao Sanqiu go."
Wendy suddenly realized: "I see."
As expected of my old friend, his scheming nature remains unchanged.
In the Ancient God Arena, Gu Sanqiu subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It's cold sweat.
Because before him sat a flame in the shape of a human.
He had only seen the old man's Tiandong Wanxiang nuclear warhead annihilate once, and Wendy was even more unruly in front of him.
But he had seen the cook in a serious state, and had personally experienced her fighting power and majesty.
The fire man in front of him gave him almost the same feeling as he did at that time!
This being who looked like the God of Fire picked up a cup of hotter flame and handed it to himself, then took out some other utensils.
"Let's play chess ."
"This is the final test."
