To be honest, Kong Hua did not expect, nor did Li Rui, that he would be rewarded before receiving the task.
"A big reward? Isn't it a reward of silver?"
"What's the use of that."
Huo Yun said disdainfully that gold and silver were useless to them. After all, they were not people living in a secret world.
Hearing the conversation between the two men, Huang Dutong was greatly impressed: "You two regard money as dirt, you are truly heroes of the world."
Li Rui smiled awkwardly: "Du Tong, I have a question to ask."
“Little brother, it’s okay to ask.”
"Our Zhendong King is a serious relative of the emperor, right?"
Huang Dutong nodded in agreement, but he was thinking in his heart, what do you mean by a serious relative of the emperor? Could it be that there are still people who dare to pretend to be? Are they living impatiently?
Li Rui had some concerns in his mind and nodded with a smile.
As long as it's someone with the surname Wu.
He turned his head and looked around, and saw that as far as he could see, the beast tide had temporarily retreated, and was entrenched more than ten miles away, ready to move.
According to the strategy, everyone can get a little breathing space every time they encounter this situation.
After Huang Dutong went to inspect the wounded, the three of them sat down and started eating to prevent the negative state of hunger. At the same time, Kong Hua counted the harvest in a daze.
The three mini-bosses and all the enemy-killing rewards combined provide a total of 42,000 experience points, 8 attribute points, and some miscellaneous consumables.
"Oh my god, with 8 attribute points, I'm almost level 18. This is too fast."
Li Rui said: "Don't get excited. For an eight-star secret realm, this is not much. There will be more later."
It's only the first few hours of the first phase now, and if it continues, there will definitely be more gains.
After he finished speaking, he looked up.
Huo Yun asked: "What are you looking at?"
"I'm wondering why the Zhendong King hasn't come yet."
Wu Yun has already arrived at the front line, starting from Section A to encourage the soldiers and express condolences to the wounded.
Hong Lu and several other team members felt confused.
"Has any guide mentioned this kind of plot?"
"No, under normal circumstances, King Zhendong will only show up at the end of the plot."
"Even in the third stage, as long as you see him appearing on the battlefield beating the drum himself, it means success is about to happen."
Hong Lu spread his hands: "That's strange. The first stage is not over yet, so why did he come in person?"
"I don't know. Let's ask more questions later. Maybe we can trigger a hidden plot?" the flatterer said expectantly.
Hiding the plot, whether it is to give more rewards, to provide assistance to defense, or even to add a positive buff, is useful.
After a while, King Zhendong and the accompanying guards arrived behind the defense line where Hong Lu and others were.
"Your Majesty, these are all heroes who support us in a righteous way."
Everyone from Section A smiled and followed behind to introduce the situation.
Wu Yun had been smiling in a formulaic way all the way, trying his best to appear gentler and make the soldiers feel more friendly, but at this time, he couldn't help but take a second look.
"Is it them?"
Xiao Dutong didn't understand what this meant, and the commander didn't know the situation at the front either, so they could only hesitantly say: "Yes, it's them."
Wu Yun immediately stepped forward and held Hong Lu's arm affectionately. This action made the guard nervous for a while.
"Hero, I heard that it was you who killed three barbaric beast leaders one after another in front of the formation and turned the tide, thus stabilizing the war situation. I would like to thank you here, Xiao Wang."
After saying that, he bowed with lightning speed.
But Hong Lu and others were a little confused, what the hell? Where did the leader come from?
But at this time, a buff appeared in the status bar.
[Blessing of the King: All attributes are increased by 10%. ]
So they all tacitly agreed not to explain.
It has nothing to do with buff or not, it’s mainly because I’m afraid that others will be embarrassed if I say it.
However, at this time, the "ignorant" little Dutong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, we have never seen any barbaric beast commander here."
Wu Yun was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Hong Lu, who made the fastest improvised response in his life.
"Ah? So it turns out that the one we killed was not the commander?"
"."
Wu Yun has learned royal etiquette since he was a child, and there are many rules. If it weren't for this, he might have rolled his eyes now.
He didn't say anything. After all, they did take the initiative to support the front line and just left silently.
However, Hong Lu and others discovered that the bonus of the King's Blessing disappeared and was replaced by a negative state.
[King Zhendong’s thoughts: All attributes -1. ]
"Go, think on the bright side, at least this negative state has basically no impact." The flatterer said.
Changzizi continued to reveal the truth: "Then the question is, who is the hero that King Zhendong is looking for?"
"."
Everyone understands it, but it feels like it’s not good to say it out loud.
Hong Lu gritted his teeth secretly: "If a beast leader appears here, we can kill him."
Changzi: "The leader is a savage beast at the level of a mini-boss."
"We are all level 20! And those soldiers are here to help! It's not a big problem."
"What if there are three mini-bosses?"
"Shut up! You're the only one who talks too much!"
"Several righteous men, please accept my respects from the little king."
After explaining their identities clearly, Li Rui and the others received the king's blessing.
Huo Yun and Kong Hua looked at each other and smiled. A 10% increase in all attributes was not a small deal.
Wu Yun saw who was the leader among the three, and took the initiative to say: "Young hero is very skilled and generous. It is my honor, Liang Ting. Xiao Wang offered me a hundred taels of gold. I cannot thank you very much. I hope you will accept it with pleasure." .”
As he spoke, he asked someone to bring a tray with several gold ingots on it.
Since the subsequent war still needed the help of these "righteous men", King Zhendong kept his posture very low.
Huo Yun and Kong Hua naturally remained silent. Li Rui took half a step back and said confidently: "I rush to the front line for the sake of the common people in the pass. It is not something external to me. Please take it back."
King Zhendong was surrounded by profit-seeking people. He had never seen this before, so he thought it was too little, so he ordered people to get treasures and jewelry. Of course, these were not secret realm-certified equipment.
Li Rui thought to himself, why is this guy so dishonest? Shouldn't he ask me what I really need at this time?
He could only intensify his hints: "In pursuing the Tao in the next life, don't accept these gold and silver treasures, lest you break your Taoist heart."
The King of Zhendong was not a straight person, so he immediately understood the hidden chill in it, and said with a smile: "In that case, Xiao Wang has collected a few martial arts secret books. If you like them, just take them."
Li Rui originally wanted to get clues about She Lei, but the other party made an offer that was difficult to refuse. He could only nod his head and agree, and think about it before making any further decisions.
So after a while, someone brought a brocade box with three books in it.
Li Rui went up to take a look and saw three options floating in front of him.
[Gun and stick skills: Hidden Dragon Swings its Head, Quality: Rare. ]
[Crossbow skills: White Rainbow Pierces the Sun, Quality: Rare. ]
[Hidden weapon skills: Yinhua Xiedi, quality: rare. ]
