Chapter 579: The Weak Heart Demon Wants to Resign
Lao Jiang led his men to kill a group of monsters from the Dragon Palace who were trying to scam people. After that, he was prepared for the Dragon Palace to take advantage of the situation to provoke him. Based on what he had heard about bad image of the West Sea Dragon Palace, the monsters were sure to make a big deal out of it.
But unexpectedly, for three consecutive days, the ruins on the side peak of the Immortal Gate were calm.
It seems that the Dragon Palace in the West Sea is ready to swallow this loss.
This doesn't look normal no matter how you look at it.
Perhaps the monsters in Dragon Palace are brewing a big wave.
Although no monsters appeared in the surrounding seas, more and more independent cultivators gathered.
The day before the Xianmen ruins were opened, dozens of ships had arrived on the surrounding sea. The group of casual cultivators had another idea. They connected the ships together and created a town floating on the sea.
It is easier to deal with the independent cultivators coming from the East, as their composition is relatively simple. They consist of independent cultivators and some old and young people from small sects who come to try their luck, but disciples from large sects are basically not seen.
The big sects have generally seen a lot of ups and downs, have a solid foundation, and have their own set of logic for doing things. The ruins exploration spread through the game forums is unreliable no matter how you look at it.
Besides, Mo Shuang Mountain will definitely not give up its inheritance. Sending disciples here can only get them magic weapons. This little benefit cannot attract the big sects to invest their energy in it.
In addition to the independent cultivators from the East, many independent cultivators from the West Sea also came to join in the fun.
However, in the West Sea, the term "casual cultivator" can basically be equated with "evil cultivator". After all, who would practice in the chaotic West Sea?
What we are cultivating is immortality and longevity, not being brave and aggressive.
How can one achieve a peaceful state of mind when living in the West Sea, where one has to live in fear every day and guard against hidden dangers in the passages?
However, the evil cultivators have their own set of survival rules.
The independent cultivators from the East did not want to communicate much with them, and they were too lazy to bother to curry favor with them, so they indulged themselves in joy in this sea before the ruins were opened.
They even created a small temporary market where people privately exchanged various valuable items, making the place very lively and attracting a group of fearless Eden players to come and have fun.
Others received missions from the evil cultivators, most of which involved assassination, theft, spreading rumors, and the like.
The rewards are also varied, ranging from ordinary immortal coins, to tempting chaos incense, or even high-grade evil cultivation techniques, or some magic weapons with strange powers.
Eden players don't care about this.
Just do the mission if there is one, and call for help if you can't win. As a result, in just three days, more than a dozen evil cultivators who came to the ruins to join in the fun went missing or died violently.
Among them, there were several bad guys who issued tasks but were unwilling to give rewards and intended to default on their obligations. As a result, they were killed by the mean Eden people.
Not only did I get the reward, but I also made some extra money.
When the sunset glowed across the sky, Lao Jiang was inspecting the magic circle on an island reef and unexpectedly saw how the Eden people "worked".
They sent a sweet-looking and talkative female player, and used the excuse of "identifying spiritual objects" to lure an evil cultivator over.
The evil cultivator was a true cultivator with a pointed face and an arrogant expression. After being led over by several Eden female players, a dozen Eden people immediately jumped out from around him.
Without saying much, he immediately fired two blasts of the Fiery Sun Seal into the soul.
Golden light flashed everywhere, and the evil cultivator was severely injured. He was then swarmed by players, who dismembered his body with a very high-level spiritual sword, picked up several dropped storage rings, and took away his clothes and magic weapons.
Before the other evil cultivators arrived, all the players dispersed. No one spoke during the entire process, and all communication was completed through private chat channels.
Hit and run, never stop.
It's obvious at first glance that he is "experienced in his job" and this is definitely not the first time he has done this.
“Professional.”
Lao Jiang witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but sigh.
"That...is not what you think, Boss."
Nia, who was beside him, felt that her compatriot's behavior was somewhat embarrassing, so she hurriedly explained:
"It was that evil cultivator who sent our people a mission yesterday to steal things from the temporary market. Our players went to great lengths to complete the mission.
As a result, the evil cultivator denied it, found all kinds of faults, and refused to give the reward.
This led to his fatal disaster today.
We Edenians are not evil, boss, please don't misunderstand us. It was that evil cultivator who took the initiative to cause trouble, we are just... well, just retaliating!"
" No need to explain, I understand."
Lao Jiang waved his hand and said:
"The Navigation Center set the monks to neutral mode, so they cannot be attacked under normal circumstances. Since they can be hit by a club now, it means that the center has also determined that this evil cultivator is hostile.
Since they are all red-named monsters with visible health bars, would you keep them for the New Year if you don't fight them?
I can understand your behavior. In fact, I agree with their approach. If you do something, you should be rewarded. Those who don't give rewards are bad people.
However, the task generation program of this center is becoming more and more intelligent.
Before, you had to wear a special instrument to issue a task, but now the task text is generated by real-time calculation, which is great."
“It’s a must.”
Nia giggled and said to the boss in a sweet voice:
“It is said that many central towers have been activated in my hometown, which are specially designed to provide real-time interactive services for players who come from various realms, in order to ensure the players’ gaming experience.
Boss, the Federation has begun to promote your game on a large scale.
In the past seven days, hundreds of thousands of new players have entered the Red Moon World and MAGA World, and the retention rate has reached an astonishing 90%! Old players have also received the "Black Hand Club Invitation Letter".
Once they complete the Free Citizen City campaign and unlock the new DLC area, the wasteland world will also be available for exploration.”
"Hundreds of thousands at once?"
Boss Jiang frowned and said:
"Have we started the stress test? Old Earl is moving pretty fast. It seems that the Navigation Center has confirmed the necessity of the Advent of the Worlds and is preparing to guide the Eden people to open a 'new era'."
"What?"
Nia blinked and asked doubtfully:
"Boss, what do you mean by this?"
"It's a good thing, don't think too much about it."
Jiang Xia smiled at Nia, patted her head and said:
"Go ahead and announce to the players that the Mohist Ruins dungeon group will be opening soon. Let them prepare for the exploration, and then you can lead them in.
But if you encounter danger, retreat immediately. "
"Woo woo woo, boss, you are worried about my safety. I am so touched. You really do love me."
Nia covered her eyes in a dramatic way and rubbed against Lao Jiang's chest, which gave Boss Jiang a headache. This person is smart in every way, can fight, is obedient, and has a strong execution ability.
But he is always obsessed with lurking in his own bed. What kind of train of thought is that?
"Go quickly."
Lao Jiang slapped Nia hard on the buttocks, making Zhineng's cheeks red, and she ran off happily to do her work.
"You're so conflicted, Jiang Xia."
After Nia left, a sinister and strange voice suddenly sounded from the shadow behind Boss Jiang. With a tone that seemed to come from darkness, it complained to Old Jiang:
"Why suppress yourself? You actually like this silly smart girl. She is willing to do everything for you, even give you her heart.
Your partner, Miss Kisaragi, has also said many times that she doesn’t mind…”
"Speak nicely, Jiang Ziheng, I think you are itching for trouble."
Jiang Xia snorted and said something in a threatening tone. The guy in the shadow behind him suddenly shook his body, and in the shadow shaping, he turned into the poor appearance of the inner demon Jiang Ziheng and appeared next to Jiang Xia.
Logically speaking, now that the Red Moon is dead, Lao Jiang's temporary inner demon should have disappeared. After all, he was born with the help of the Red Moon's demonic power.
But Lao Jiang burned the Red Moon's Ash Crystal three days ago, and this guy got it back again.
This is the great magical power that the crystal gave Lao Jiang.
Able to sense the negative emotions of others and temporarily materialize their inner demons.
This divine power was applied to himself, and the unlucky Jiang Ziheng was embodied again. No one knew how desperate this inner demon was when Jiang Ziheng appeared again.
It was a complete breakdown.
"Have you finished what you were asked to do?"
Lao Jiang asked casually while checking whether the magic circle on the island was complete.
Jiang Ziheng held a folding fan in his hand, maintaining the debonair look of a poor scholar, and with his back bent, he replied to Old Jiang:
"It's all done, Boss Jiang. I just walked around the boat and sensed the evil thoughts of those demons. The cultivators from the East are easier to deal with, as they know how to cultivate their mind.
But these evil cultivators from the West Sea are far worse.
Perhaps it is because most of them live in a terrible environment of "killing and being killed", which makes them violent, dark-minded, and have bad psychological problems.
We don’t even need to look carefully to know that nine out of ten of these people will suffer from inner demons in the future!”
"Oh, you actually think they still have a future..."
When Boss Jiang heard this, he sneered and said:
"You are so innocent and cute, Jiang Ziheng. If you want to consider future problems, these guys must at least escape from my immortal gate ruins alive.
Let me ask you again, in this land of the West Sea, have you ever sensed the devilish nature of the Wasteland Lord's vanguard?"
This question made the inner demon hesitate.
It glanced at Lao Jiang secretly and said:
“Yes, it is deep in the Starry Sea, in the Sin Abyss. As long as we show up, we can hear the whisper of darkness, summoning us to go to the Sin Abyss and serve it.
it……
It is very strong and powerful, many times more powerful than the red moon.
But it, how to say it...
It’s a bit weird.”
"Strange?"
Lao Jiang paused, looked at his inner demon, and asked:
"What's so weird about it?"
“I don’t know how to describe it. I have only felt the aura of the Red Moon and the Son of the Wilderness of World M before. This is only the third one I have felt.
But compared to Red Moon and Barbara from World M, this Bitterwood Realm Wasteland Lord Vanguard is like..."
The inner demon Jiang Ziheng organized his words.
After several breaths, it said hesitantly:
"It seems to have no brain, only making those meaningless murmurs, but it has no power to force my inner demon to do anything. It doesn't seem like it is sleeping.
But if he was sober, this would not happen."
"How about you go to the Sin Abyss and take a look?"
Boss Jiang thought for a few breaths and said to the inner demon behind him:
"With my ability to confuse the mind, you can leave your body and travel far away. Please go to the Sin Abyss for me and see what's going on with the Wasteland Lord's vanguard."
“No!”
Jiang Ziheng closed the folding fan in his hand and decisively refused:
"If we really go, I'm afraid we will die there. We are not afraid of death, but if we are captured by the evil spirit of the Lord of the Wasteland, we will be absorbed into it, and I'm afraid it will be worse than death.
And if we get hurt, it will also implicate you, Boss Jiang."
"I think you are a coward."
Old Jiang glanced at his useless inner demon and said:
"If you can't even do such a small thing, what use are you?"
"Jiang Xia!"
Jiang Ziheng was furious when he heard this sarcasm. He waved his folding fan and shouted:
"It would be fine if you beat me and bullied me, but now you are humiliating me like this. I have worked like a slave for you, and even if I have no merit, I have worked hard, but you still speak ill of me.
We are so unlucky to have you as our inner demon.
If you continue to humiliate me like this, I will...will...will resign! I would rather die by myself than suffer such humiliation from you!"
"Ha, can you show me your evil thoughts?"
Boss Jiang snorted and raised his left hand. A sticky red light entwined his five fingers. He said in a relaxed tone:
"With this magical power in hand, even if your evil thoughts are shattered, I can stick you together again and continue to serve me. Accept your fate, Jiang Ziheng, your inner demon has been living in hell since birth."
He stood up, patted Jiang Ziheng on the shoulder and said:
"And I am your devil."
"Do your job well, and I will never treat you unfairly in the future."
