In the bathroom of the monastery's confessional.
The road dust rolled onto the floor tiles, and my head felt a little cold on my neck, and I even smelled the fishy smell of dripping.
What the hell game!
Lu Chen didn't believe that anyone in this universe could cut off his head.
Therefore, whether it is the scene in the bathroom or the scene in the Halo game cabin, they are all special effects of the game.
In fact, carefully recalling the game's investigation process, there is not much of a scary atmosphere in itself.
The key point of general horror games is the sense of immersion that makes people completely immersed and close to forgetting reality.
At its core, this game is exactly the opposite.
It always reminds you of the existence of reality, reminds you that you are playing a game, and then collects real-life data and feeds it back into the game in real time, generating illusions that are almost as real as real ones, deliberately confusing the boundaries between reality and games, and allowing you to create unprecedented moments when you see death. Sense of fear.
I have to say that the design of this game is very exquisite and refreshing, and it almost scared me.
Lu Chen still doesn't understand the principle yet.
It's very simple, he can hack into the game code and figure out the underlying logic of the game.
But right now, he is here to experience the game, not to dismantle it. He does not want to cheat before completing the game.
He wanted to continue experiencing this terrifying feeling.
The head falls to the ground, the person is still thinking, and the game is not over yet...
This shows that he is not completely dead in the game.
So he tried to control his body with his brain.
Soon, the fingers moved.
He can really move!
"It seems that I am indeed not dead in the game.
Was it because I was not blasphemous enough, or was it because I discovered the nun's scissors in advance and avoided a fatal blow?
My head is gone, but my spiritual power is still intact? "
Lu Chen suddenly remembered that the faint red coil around Father Joseph's neck was clearly pressed against his head manually after turning around.
"It seems that the priest once lost his head because of blasphemy, but in the end... he was forgiven by the gods?"
But Lu Chen is more willing to believe that the faint red line on the priest's neck is a small reminder to the player, suggesting that being beheaded by a nun will not necessarily lead to death. Being frightened and fainting is the real death.
As long as you still have sense, you can still get your head back!
Lu Chen tried to control his hands, picked up the head on the ground, and put it back on his neck.
Good guy, I really recovered my whole body!
Only then did he see clearly that in another scene of the simulated halo training cabin, he also picked up the head on the ground and successfully put it back on his neck.
A few breaths later than Lu Chen, Aili next door also successfully picked up the head on the ground.
This means that they are both resurrected in the game and can continue playing.
However, Lu Chen took the head off again, turned on the faucet, and cleaned both sections of the neck to make sure there was no trace of urine smell before putting the head back on again.
No one wants to play games while smelling sexy.
At this moment, a message popped up in front of Lu Chen:
[The player Gloria was too frightened and triggered the player's mental protection mechanism. The game was forced to end without completing the first plot! 】
Only then did Lu Chen remember that when he entered the game, it was set up as a three-person team to tackle the key points, and everyone must pass the first level.
The three of them immediately exited the game.
Lu Chen's feet landed on the square base of the halo cabin.
Ai Li slowly took off her external helmet, with an indifferent expression on her face, not scared at all.
Gloria screamed and touched her neck back and forth. After confirming that her head was still there, she smashed her helmet hard.
"What the hell is this game? Refund the money, refund the money immediately... No, you have to compensate me for mental damages!"
Lu Chen and Ai Li suppressed laughter.
"What are you doing? You want to play a game, but you can't even pass the first level. You won't die if you turn around. Can't you just pick it up and put it on your neck?"
"ha?"
Gloria tilted her head and reached out to touch her neck again.
"Is there still such a setting?"
Ellie nodded.
"Well, the red mark around Father Joseph's neck is the detail that the game hints to the player."
Gloria thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't remember what Father Joseph looked like, nor did she notice the red mark on his neck.
"Who would have thought that even the priest is not pious enough? Okay, it's up to me to fail this time, and then enter the game again!"
Lu Chen shook his head and sighed.
"If we go in again, it may not be the same game."
With this sigh, Lu Chen did not enter the game again, but called up all the game's codes.
Only then did he realize that this was a dynamic game designed by humans, with artificial intelligence automatically generating backgrounds and details based on player information!
The name of the game company is [Game Superstition], which is also different from Dapu.
The company built a rather sophisticated framework for a headless murder case, and then collected the content of the previous game that players just played and collected real-life data from the halo scanner to create a headless murder game based on the previous game.
Lu Chen played monastery beach volleyball earlier. The game was played at the monastery. There are also relics of beach volleyball on the beach...
If we were playing snow volleyball, this horror story might happen in a snowy mountain castle, where Father Joseph becomes Lord Joseph and the murderous nun becomes a maid.
What Lu Chen is more concerned about is that the game uses a neural network-like fuzzy algorithm, and its architecture is particularly exquisite.
It was the first time even Lu Chen had seen a set of neural algorithms built that approximated the main body of a simulated neural network.
At present, although it is not very mature, it is enough to scare many people.
"Simple logical spiritual patterns, through ingenious conception and data collection, can create special effects that confuse reality. If there was a neural network server, even I would be scared to death."
Lu Chen felt that eighty-level bans were not enough, and it would be safe to ban playing for those below the eighty-level cultivation level.
He really wanted to see who the main architecture engineer of [Game Superstition] Studio was!
Unfortunately, the game does not mention the specific name of the main driving engineer.
The location of gaming companies is also uncertain.
Lu Chen immediately entered the Halo server and tracked the upload location of the downloaded game source files.
The game was uploaded from the Anyan Starfield branch of Halo Corporation.
The Anyan Star Territory is the star territory where the "Empire Entertainment Weekly" Zhaoxia Editorial Department is located, and it is also next door to the Star Territory where the Kingdom of Night is located.
It can be said that this is a local game.
The game company's office address is nearby!
Lu Chen sighed:
"Even if you re-enter the game, the settings will still be the same. Once you know the ending of the first level, there will be no sense of horror. The second level may not feel scary at all."
Gloria asked curiously:
"Why might there not be a second level?"
It was not possible. Lu Chen took a look at the code and determined that the second level of the game had not been developed yet.
"Because the game company will use the money from the sales of the first level to develop the second level. However, there are currently many negative reviews and complaints about the game, so there may not be a second level."
Gloria was dumbfounded.
"I spent more than a hundred spirit stones to buy a game, and it's gone after playing for a while? Aren't you going to refund the money?"
I obviously spent the money well...
Lu Chen was speechless.
However, he does not intend to refund the money.
"For me, this is a rare terrifying experience, worth more than a hundred spiritual stones.
It's even more valuable to you. Who would have thought that a ghost demon would be afraid of losing his head.
Isn't the ghost's soul integrated into the demon core? Your head is an embroidered pillow. "
Gloria couldn't refute, even though she didn't have a magic core at all, the blood demon was maintained by blood.
She turned to look at Ellie.
"It's okay if Lu Chen is not afraid. He is a hacker. Why aren't you afraid, Aili?"
Ai Li had no expression on her face and said calmly:
"Because I really lost my head."
Gloria was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
Lu Chen helped him, Lan Qi Feima was a scientist, and he must have done various scientific experiments on a perfect atavistic embryo like Ellie.
"Damn Arden Fermat, it is not a pity to die! Blue Flag Fermat must die early, otherwise I will crush him to ashes!"
Ellie was calm.
"It's all over. I'm still alive. Taking adventures with the captain and sister Gloria has made me forget these things."
"Um."
Lu Chen touched Ai Li's head with some distress.
He turned around and asked Gloria:
"I don't understand. You can't do anything with your brain. Why are you so timid?"
Gloria hesitated and said:
“You can’t blame me for being timid, you can only blame the game’s angle for being too tricky.
What's more, one of you is a hacker, and the other has suffered a lot since childhood, so of course you can handle it mentally.
I've been a genius since I was a child, and I haven't suffered any decent setbacks until now. I can't even accept kissing a man. How can I be stimulated like this? "
Lu Chen:
"..."
Gloria quickly changed the topic.
"Are you sure this game has nothing to do with the Empire? Could it be that the Empire doesn't dare to use force, so it's trying to scare us to death?"
Lu Chen shook his head.
"It's a game I chose myself, and the name of this game is different on each machine. Maybe the name is different every time I open it. It was launched more than a month ago, and it has received more than 30,000 negative reviews so far. , has nothing to do with the empire.”
Gloria sighed:
"It's rare that there is no movement in the empire this time!"
Lu Chen smiled, the empire's movements were all used for the defense of the Zhaoxia branch of Entertainment Weekly.
"Let's go to the Kingdom of Darkness and see if there is anything more exciting than this game!"
…
The Leonin immediately took off from the island, quickly left the atmosphere of the Kanglun star, and withdrew from the airspace of the Kanglun star system in the blink of an eye.
The warp engine was activated at the outer edge of the star system, and suddenly disappeared into the clear and bright Imperial starry sky.
In Konglongxing Palace, King Philip XVIII of Kanglang Kingdom let out a long sigh of relief while soaking in the medicinal pool.
He did not expect that the Original Star Adventure Group actually had the same rules as Captain Lu said. Except for supplies, shopping and fishing, they did not commit any crimes against Kong Long Xingqiu.
He had to deal with a lot of people coming from the imperial government.
A notorious adventure group forced to become heroes of the empire promotes local consumption.
If he had known earlier, he should not have agreed to the Langya Company and sent troops to suppress the bandits.
At this time, the palace information officer knocked on the door and came in.
"Your Majesty, the editorial department of Entertainment Weekly wants us to calculate the general direction based on the warp ripples!"
Philip XVIII shook his head angrily.
"Unexpected!
No, let's just say it's not accurate. Kang Langguo doesn't have that advanced tracking technology.
This time I didn't even call for reinforcements. You asked me to detect the enemy's whereabouts. What if they kill me?
We have sacrificed most of our fleet, and we are extremely benevolent to the empire!
On the contrary, it's their editorial department, isn't it a media giant from the empire's headquarters? With so many high-level fleet protections, why are you still afraid of a small level 50 adventure ship? "
The information officer was so scared that he wiped his sweat.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
at the same time.
Anting star field, Xia Feixing star system.
At present, the Zhaoxia branch of "Empire Entertainment Weekly" has applied to transfer a level 100 special agent fleet from the Blizzard branch.
It is also equipped with a professional anti-submarine force and hacker team to deal with the stealth and hacker capabilities of the Leonin.
As a result, the Leonin turned around and headed to the Kingdom of Darkness.
Moreover, the Leonin changed its radar identification code and traveled to the Kingdom of Darkness as part of the Arrita Adventure Group.
As a result, after the Leonin arrived in the Kingdom of Darkness, the editorial department of Entertainment Weekly Asaka did not receive any news.
The entire star system was tense and maintained a high-intensity defense level for several days in a row.
This made Lu Chen feel a certain degree of happiness.
…
The Long Night Star Territory, the Kingdom of Night.
The Leonin quietly entered the dark star system.
It can't be said to be completely dark. The extinguished sun can still emit a gentle gleam, like a huge firefly hanging in the night sky.
It is still a little brighter than the stars, and has the same luminosity as the moon.
But the moon is illuminated by the sun.
Now the sun has become a firefly and the moon is invisible.
In addition to the Cylon stars wandering into the Pangu Corridor, the Kingdom of Night also has seven solid planets, four gaseous planets, and a large number of satellites and asteroids.
This place was once a paradise for mankind.
It is one of the first star systems that humans conquered after entering the Milky Way.
In the early days, technology was very advanced, but in the end, over-reliance on robot technology led to the omnic crisis, the endogenous dictatorship society, and the human revolution. In the end, the fruits of the revolution were seized and destroyed by the imperial spy fleet, and the major planets were turned into ruins.
The Dyson Sphere project, which once had high hopes, was corroded by various power-money transactions and shoddy projects, resulting in losses.
Eventually the sun went out, leaving only chicken feathers on the ground.
The entire star system then fell into darkness, and the surviving humans relied on nuclear energy and underground flame veins maintained by formations to survive.
The Kingdom of Night has gradually become a breeding ground for criminals.
Even the Empire acknowledged the crime problem here and sent a hundred-level fleet to maintain law and order in the Kingdom of Darkness.
There is still a certain order in the first planet of the Kingdom of Night.
It is said that this is an alternative utopia built by neural network servers.
The advertisements from Kingdom of Darkness that Lu Chen received were mainly about the industries of the first planet.
The defense situation of Kingdom of Darkness that Lu Chen found out in advance is as follows:
A level 100 night fleet is roaming in the star system.
The fleet says it's fighting crime, but it's actually protecting crime and cracking down on foreign tourists like him who might cause trouble.
In addition to this, each planet has a combined armored force and offshore fleet of native gangs.
There are also customers who travel nearby or have long-term cooperation, and they are all big shots from all over the universe.
It was very difficult for Lu Chen to make trouble.
Of course, he didn't come to the Kingdom of Darkness to punish rape and eliminate evil. He just wanted to come and experience the sinful life of the gentlemen.
His target is the first planet closest to the extinguished sun.
On the way to the first planet, Leonin received advertising messages from various planets, just like psoriasis.
The so-called Kingdom of Darkness is not only an illegal entertainment project, but also has all kinds of underground services. It boasts that it is magical and omnipotent.
It is said that all services are provided by real people.
To sum it up.
There are three main types of entertainment projects:
First, there are all kinds of real human experiences. The variety is so great and the bottom line is so low that even a theoretical king like Lu Chen, who has many aphrodisiacs, can't stand it.
Second, gambling.
Third, drug addiction.
That is pornography, gambling and drugs.
But they are all methods prohibited by imperial law, and it is said that many of them are beyond the scope of human morality.
If Lu Chen hadn't brought two girls with him, he would have really wanted to experience the first kind of happiness.
It's a pity that there is a girl here and he wants to save face.
In addition to entertainment, there are two types of gray industries:
Fourth, organ transplantation, young blood, and even Dantian transplantation.
Fifth, various mercenary and killer industries.
This was something Lu Chen didn't know before he came.
"I would like to see an organ transplant or something."
Ai Li reminded him cautiously:
"It's better not to do it, captain. When you see those crimes and even anti-human things, you can't help but want to kill people. There are too many strong people here, and it will be difficult for us to escape."
Lu Chen thought about it and it was right.
"I'm just an adventurer, not a space policeman. I can't be fooled by the top hat of Entertainment Weekly!"
Gloria, who had been silent all this time, suddenly suggested:
"Why don't you go and experience the brain-infusing mercury wine from this hell bar... What kind of alcohol can infusing your brain?"
Lu Chen tapped Gloria's forehead lightly.
"Listen to the stupid echo, this is the brain after being filled with mercury."
Gloria tilted her head, still thinking about it.
"What the hell is mercury?"
Lu Chen had no specific purpose for his trip, so he decided to pamper her once.
Besides, he was also quite curious, how to fill the brain with mercury?
"Let's go and have a look."
The bar recommended by the advertisement is the Hell Bar on the sixth planet.
The Leonin then landed on the sixth planet.
The entire planet is made up of ruins and cities.
The animals that can still survive on the ground have become nocturnal species.
There are only a few types of plants, most of which have long roots to absorb heat from the ground.
The largest number are various mobile fungi.
There are dozens of cities on the surface, and the cities are always covered with bright night.
Because I don’t like the dark night, the city is polluted by all kinds of strange lights, which are very bright and have no sense of beauty at all.
The buildings in the city are hundreds of years old, but they have no historical sediment. They have been transformed in all kinds of strange ways and are chaotic.
The gang's speed car roared in and sped away.
Hanging under the speeding car were locals caught from nowhere, or cheating gamblers.
All kinds of light pollution advertisements dazzle your eyes all the time.
Lu Chen's scalp felt numb when he saw it.
"What about the Kingdom of Night? Let's change its name to the Kingdom of Light!"
Following the navigation, the Leonin quickly arrived at the Hell Bar.
It is a huge, dilapidated cylindrical mansion.
The entire top floor is a bar, which is very large.
The spaceship is parked in the rooftop dock.
The diameter of the roof is only two kilometers, and it can only accommodate a hundred spacecraft.
The cost of parking the boat alone is one hundred spirit stones per hour, which is staggeringly expensive.
However, Lu Chen is considered a wealthy person now and does not care about the parking fee of several hundred spirit stones.
The three of them immediately disembarked.
Except for the Leonin, there is no spaceship lower than the Leonin in the rooftop dock.
Most of them are luxury voyage ships of various brands, there are also local warships of different shapes, and there are even several brand-new adventure ships that have been recently refitted and painted!
Because the boat was parked on the rooftop for a fee, a professional receptionist soon appeared and directed the three of them to the Hell Bar.
Lu Chen and the other two walked into the almost full bar.
He looked around.
It's said to be a bar, but it's actually a casino.
This is very similar to what Cybertavern does.
"People don't necessarily want to play with women when they drink too much, but they definitely want to gamble. It's especially easy to get addicted to gambling when you're drunk. If you lose the bet, you just go to bed. If you win the bet, you only want to play with women."
Lu Chen sighed.
Gloria was stunned.
"How come you know better than me?"
Lu Chen shrugged.
"Because no matter how awesome you are, you are still a woman and you can't possibly be more playful than us men."
Gloria was very dissatisfied. Apart from looking at the scorpion girl a few times, she had never seen Lu Chen play with anything.
"That's hard to say."
Lu Chen quickly warned her.
"Let's make it clear first that drinking is okay, but gambling is not."
Gloria stared blankly at the colorful chips and dice not far away, and murmured to herself:
"Do you think I'm stupid for betting even though I know I can't win?"
The tone is not too harsh.
There are dozens of bars, hundreds of gaming tables, and tens of thousands of gamblers in the Hell Bar.
Lu Chen could sense it casually and found out: In the small bar, there were no fewer than a hundred people with higher cultivation levels than Gloria!
A powerful spirit-avoiding formation is set up in the bar. No one below level 100 can use spiritual power to prevent cheating when gambling.
The bar does not accept gamblers above level 100.
The spirit-avoiding formation not only prevents the cultivator from exerting his spiritual power, but also suppresses the cultivator's Qihai.
If a cultivator's spiritual power cannot escape from the Qi Sea, the spiritual power cannot be converted into speed and strength, preventing cheating based on speed and preventing fights.
However, the spirit avoidance formation was of no use to Lu Chen.
Whether it is the resonance of all things or the power of a critical strike, it can break through the constraints of the formation in the body, allowing the spiritual power to leave the sea of qi and transform into the speed and strength of the body.
Lu Chen and the other three wandered around the Hell Bar, found a relatively remote corner, and came to the bar.
Gloria skillfully extended three fingers to the bartender.
"Three glasses of brain-drenching mercury wine."
The bartender is a one-eyed man holding a cigar in his mouth. He only has seven fingers out of ten on his hands. He looks like he was forced to work here after losing too much at the gambling table.
While pouring the wine, he stared at Lu Chen and asked:
"Are you adventurers?"
Lu Chen was slightly startled.
"How did you tell?"
"I saw it on the news."
The bartender pointed to the ceiling light curtain not far away.
What was playing in the light curtain was the news about Lu Chen in the Wolf Fang star system.
Lu Chen thought to himself: Damn it, I forgot to dress up!
Not only the bartender, but also many drinkers and gamblers nearby looked over.
After all, the temperaments and looks of Lu Chen and the other three were too outstanding.
Even after arriving in the Kingdom of Darkness, they are like three suns, so bright and outstanding.
Lu Chen slowly sat on the chair in front of the bar.
"Not all news is true."
The bartender said:
"This is a previously leaked video of Kang Lang's fleet."
"I should have driven them all away long ago."
Lu Chen sighed helplessly, then picked up the wine glass, looked at the silver surface of the wine, and took a sip of the wine.
There seemed to be a cold, smooth, overweight fluid rushing straight to the top of my head. It really felt like mercury filling my brain.
The power of the wine goes straight to the cerebellum, making the person stagger, and just the right amount of dizziness. Coupled with the delicious wine juice, it is indeed a good wine.
Ai Li sat on the other side, not drinking, but looking around with a wary expression.
Gloria came to her senses from the gambling table, came to the bar, and sat down on the chair next to Lu Chen.
He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, his eyes suddenly filled with silver stars.
"This wine... is strong enough."
After saying that, seeing that Ai Li didn't drink, he drank Ai Li's glass in one gulp.
After drinking, I lay down on the bar, unable to get up again.
When Lu Chen had half a glass of wine, he didn't feel much drunk except for the comfort that was like floating in the clouds.
This surprised the bartender.
Many strong players among the gamblers were also gathering nearby.
Lu Chen looked around and found a strong man above level 80, and there were also several people at level 70.
The surrounding gambling tables are all occupied by these powerful people, and there is no one below level 50.
Although these people were not looking directly at Lu Chen and the others, their attention was focused here.
After a while, the bar lobby manager came over.
Behind him were more than a dozen men in suits and sunglasses, all of whom were heavily armed under their suits. None of them had a cultivation level lower than level 30.
The lobby manager is a level 60 spirit warrior. He wears a pair of elegant glasses. He looks quite thin and frail, but his body fat rate is alarmingly low. He is obviously a strong individual in individual skills.
The lobby manager signaled to the bartender and poured Lu Chen a glass of golden wine.
The color of the wine surface is golden yellow, like the sparkling waves of the setting sun.
"I didn't expect that the heroes of the empire would come here to experience life."
Lu Chen picked up the wine glass and took a sip. His head felt hot, so hot that he felt a little hot, as if he had a high fever.
The only difference between golden brain-infusing wine and mercury brain-infusing wine is the difference between hot and cold.
But Lu Chen's face and expression remained calm.
"Imperial heroes are men too... This is good wine, thank you for the hospitality."
As soon as she heard the word "good wine", Gloria stood up in excitement.
He looked around and drank the golden wine in front of Lu Chen.
My head suddenly felt hot, I was sweating profusely, and I fell asleep again.
The lobby manager then explained his purpose:
"I am the lobby manager on the top floor of Hell Bar, Ye Heng. I have no other intention of finding Captain Lu. I just want to know the purpose of your coming to Hell Bar to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
Lu Chen took another sip of his saliva and smiled calmly:
"I'm just here for a trip. Manager Ye also saw it. With my little cultivation, I can't make trouble here."
Ye Heng frowned.
In his opinion, this humanoid news-making machine from Zhaoxia Route is indeed only at level 47.
However, judging from his state after drinking, even a hundred-level strongman may not be so calm under the suppression of the spirit avoidance formation.
Ye Heng finally understood why the editorial department of the "Empire Entertainment Weekly" next door was so afraid of this man.
"Do you mind if we inform the next star field about your coming to the Kingdom of Darkness?"
Lu Chen shrugged and smiled.
"I don't mind. If you don't notify me, others will. Just ask my friends from the editorial department to wait. I'll have a few drinks and then we'll go over and chat."
This guy still wants to go...
Ye Heng didn't know what to say, so he motioned to the bartender.
"Three glasses of wine for Captain Lu for free."
After saying that, the group left the bar.
Lu Chen raised his glass and said:
"Thank you."
After taking a sip, Lu Chen saw that Ai Li was too nervous and asked her with a smile:
"Ellie, don't you really want to try it? This wine is very good. It will feel even better if I don't break it down quickly."
Ellie looked around, maintaining a considerable degree of vigilance.
"No, Captain, I don't like drinking."
"Well...it's right for children not to drink."
"I'm not a kid, I just don't like drinking."
Regarding Ai Li's age, Lu Chen could guess.
Gray Crow went to the Wolf Fang Laboratory twenty years ago. After working for about three years, he left with seven embryos. It would take ten months for the embryos to be placed in the mother's body. So Ellie is probably a little over sixteen years old. What is she if she is not a child? ?
If it weren't for children, how could they love learning so much?
"But this wine is really addictive. It is also some kind of training for the spiritual master. If you can stay sane after drinking it, you will win."
Lu Chen persuaded the wine.
Ai Li then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Frowning slightly.
Lu Chen glanced at it.
It feels okay, even though her Dantian is blocked by the formation, her control over the spirit is slightly worse than mine, but much better than Gloria's.
"Haha, Aili, what you drank was my wine. Rounding it all off, you are the one who refreshed me."
Ai Li blushed for a moment, but suppressed it with force.
"Captain, you're drunk."
Lu Chen smiled and said:
"This is called drunkenness."
"Captain...someone is coming."
Ai Li turned to look behind Lu Chen.
A man with a Western sword on his waist, leading seven or eight sword spirit warriors or spirit warriors, strode over.
The man was a level 69 Sword Spirit warrior with a beard and a rugged look that was somewhat old-fashioned.
He stopped two meters behind Lu Chen and announced his family name:
"I am Verdi, the leader of the Jiangchuan Fourth Sword Adventure Group. I am preparing to go to the Great Wall of Ice and Snow. I wonder if Captain Lu is interested in forming a group with us to participate in the second assessment?"
Lu Chen buried his head in drinking and didn't look back. He just asked:
"What does Jiangchuan's Fourth Sword mean?"
A swordsman named Verdi explained:
"The fourth sword means that I have the principles of a gentleman. I once rejected the invitation of the Three Musketeers of Jiangchuan and formed an independent adventure group instead of collaborating with those three bitches."
Lu Chen asked again:
"Then why do you want to cooperate with me?"
Verdi said:
"You are a hero of the Empire."
Only then did Lu Chen turn his head and look.
This man and his seven or eight subordinates were either sword spirit warriors or spirit warriors. They were quite powerful, with sharp postures and professional body skills.
Unfortunately, there is a lack of professional pilots and psychic mechanics.
You know, it is very difficult to pass the association's second assessment just by force. This group of people came to the Kingdom of Darkness and probably wanted to find some information officers or driver teammates.
Lu Chen shook his head and continued drinking.
"If you need to find someone to form a group to pass the level, even entering the Blizzard Route will be a dead end. It's better to change your career as soon as possible and become a kendo instructor or something. You won't be too good at it."
The seven or eight people behind Verdi immediately became angry, some wanted to take action, and some wanted to curse.
Verdi raised his hand and kept silent.
"Although my cultivation level is less than level 70, Captain Lu seems to have some misunderstanding about my strength. I'm offended."
After saying that, he actually wanted to do it himself!
Lifting his right palm, without using any spiritual power, he only relied on the remaining sword energy in his blood to focus on the side of his palm.
From behind, a palm struck Lu Chen.
Lu Chen drank the wine slowly.
The spiritual pressure in his body suddenly exploded, and in a flash, he was already at Verdi's side.
He grabbed his big, square head, ignored his level 69 physical strength, and slammed it on the bar.
boom!
The empty wine glass was smashed, blood filled the air, and the sword energy dissipated.
It was like a charcoal that had just been burned to a blazing intensity and was pressed underwater. It went out with a sizzling sound, leaving a lingering sound of whimpering...
"When it comes to taking risks, the gentleman's principle is superfluous. Your Excellency did not lose because of your lack of strength, but because you didn't know how to cheat. You won't be offended by an adventurer who makes a sneak attack."
Everyone was stunned and silent.
The bar was silent.
The gambling table in the distance.
A middle-aged man with a body like a mountain, wearing a black robe, and a face like a disk, slowly raised his head while holding a special dice engraved with six poker colors.
He glanced through the gap in the crowd and looked at Lu Chen. (End of chapter)
