Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Lend a Hand
Translator: 549690339
In the real world, Hall Master Zhang had seen numerous young people who bluster boldly. But when given a knife and asked to maim another person, they piss their pants.
Therefore, seeing that Song Jian is not that old, doesnât bear any signs of being a gang member, but rather seems like a college student, Hall Master Zhang became highly confident and believed that Song Jian did not have the guts to kill.
âKid, if you donât dare to kill me today, youâre my grandson. Remember to address me as âOld Zhangâ or âGrandfather Zhangâ whenever you see me!â Hall Master Zhang bellowed towards Manor Castle.
âHeh, Hall Master Zhangâs got some nerve, truly worthy of being the head honcho of River Gang, weâ¦â President Wang hailed with a thumbs-up, admiration written all over his face.
Before President Wang could even finish his sentence, he heard two sharp whistling sounds of arrow flying.
Squelch-
The blood splattered on President Wang, who was standing next to Hall Master Zhang, and he froze in disbelief.
As people looked at Hall Master Zhang, they saw two foot-long wooden arrows, one entering his temple and passing straight through his skull, with the arrowhead protruding three inches from the other side.
The other arrow hit Hall Master Zhangâs throat, emerging from the back of his neck. Two critical hit damages of over 80 points floated above Zhangâs head.
âCough cough-â Hall Master Zhangâs eyes filled with shock. He couldnât believe how ruthlessly a young man in his early twenties could kill.
âIf I had knownâ¦â This thought occurred to Hall Master Zhang, but consciousness quickly faded into darkness, and he could no longer feel anything.
As they watched Hall Master Zhangâs dead body lying don the ground, next to a floating loot bag, a look of fear crossed everyoneâs faces.
âHoly hell, he actually dared to kill!â A loud shout brought all the people gathered at the entrance to their senses. When they looked toward the wall, they heard the creaking sound of a bowstring.
âRun-â
âDamn, the man plays dirty.-â
âGet out of the way, stop blocking the pathâ¦â
A dozen people fled like frightened rats for a distance before looking back, only to see a few roots slowly extending from the wall, curling over Hall Master Zhangâs body and emanating package.
âDamn, like master, like pet, not even sparing Old Zhangâs body, thatâs ruthlessâ¦â someone murmured in astonishment.
âOld Zhang really misjudged this time. That kidâs not just an ordinary college student; heâs a skilled manipulator, a real dragon in human form. Weâre in for a show in our Lianhai districtâ¦â
âRiver Gang is done for. With Old Zhangâs death, the deputy gang leaders, none of them are easy to deal withâ¦â
âSo now we areâ¦â
âLetâs go, letâs not embarrass ourselves here. We all misjudged. That kid is brutal. One wrong word, and he starts a massacreâ¦â
âNo options, the weaponâs in his hand. Heâll do whatever he wants.â
A dozen of âbig bossesâ discussed among themselves, and after a while, they dispersed. Now they no longer considered Song Jian a novice. Instead, they treated him as one of their equals.
âPhew, it seems my heart has become harder, capable of killing decisively. Who would have thought, me, decisive in killingâ¦â Song Jian touched the Night Slayerâs pattern on his chest with a melancholy expression on his face.
âLittle Cheap Brother, you were amazing! Those guys were too hateful; they deserve to be killed!â Little Purple stood at the window on the third floor of the castle, shouting excitedly.
âEnough, Keâer, youâre a young girl, donât keep talking about killing. I have given you and Wang Qi permission, you can enter my manor now.â Song Jian laughed.
âReally? Thatâs great! Haha, theyâre all gone, letâs go in-â
In no time, Li Keâer and Wang Qi arrived at Manor Castle.
âThis place is so big, but it looks quite empty, thereâs nothingâ¦â Li Keâer as she looked around while walking.
âAfter creating a safe house, do all the original items in the safe house disappear?â Wang Qi pondered aloud, his face sporting a thoughtful look.
âKeâer, welcome.â Song Jian greeted her with a smile.
âLittle Cheap Brother, youâre incredible, youâre my idol!â Li Keâer excitedly jumped onto Song Jian, hugging his neck and said, âLittle Cheap Brother, your tree is very powerful. Where did you get it? Can you take me to get one too?â
Song Jian laughed, put Keâer down, and patted her head, âThat tree is called Alex. Despite its good looks, itâs quite costly to keep. Itâs almost drained your Little Jian Brotherâs resources!â
âI donât care, you tell me quickly, where did you get it from? I want a big tree too!â Li Keâer coaxed, pulling on Song Jianâs hand.
âOkay, okay, Iâll tell you. Open the map, and Iâll mark it for you. Not only can you gather lots of wood there, but thereâs also a monster called Treant. If you kill them, they might drop Treant Saplings. After you upgrade to a level 3 safe house, you can modify the Spirit Field. Once you have a Spirit Field, you can plant a Treant!â Song Jian marked the location on the map and explained everything to them.
âAh, it sounds so complicated. Suddenly, I donât want to use just one room as a safe house. I want to make the whole bar my safe house!â Li Keâer drew a big circle with her hands as if she could encompass the entire bar like that.
âLuckily, I have some materials to spare, Iâll give them to you.â Song Jian glanced at his inventory, which contained tens of thousands of units of wood and stone materials, and transferred all of them to Li Keâer and Wang Qi.
The two of them had fought valiantly against the monsters when they were under siege. Song Jian did not mention it, but he noticed their effort.
âLittle Cheap Brother, youâre so great. I adore you! Youâre the second greatest man after my dad!â Li Keâer became so excited she was jumping up and down. Wang Qi, on the other hand, was stunned by the tens of thousands of materials, shocked beyond words.
âBrother Song, are you sure you havenât put any money into this game?â Wang Qi, after hemming and hawing for a while, finally asked.
âHa ha, if you find out that money can be added to this game, you must tell me!â Song Jian was amused by Wang Qi and laughed heartily.
âLittle Cheap Brother, I have enough materials; Iâm ready to create my safe house. Can you help me?â Li Keâer asked while pulling on Song Jianâs sleeve.
âSong, Brother Song, I also want to create a safe house. Itâs just across the street from yoursâ¦â Wang Qi said a bit bashfully.
âAlright, alright, 1 still have three hours left in this game. As long as you create it during this time, I can help!â Song Jian promptly agreed.
âThatâs great! Iâll create it nowâ¦â Afraid of being slower than Wang Qi, Li Keâer quickly ran toward the castle gate.
Song Jian and Wang Qi exchanged glances, before bursting into laughter. They then quickly followed Li Keâer towards the outside of the manor.
