Chapter 227: Duel, Baron!

But looking at the hundreds of people around the hall staring at him, Dachun felt a little scared!
These are all high-end players, most likely with financial backing. What if I walk straight into Office 302 like this and get seen? If they find out I'm in a relationship with Fafner, they'll definitely go crazy and sabotage me!
No, I can’t go directly to Valrhona!
But where else could she go? Dachun immediately thought of Baron Fat Peng. As a baron, he must have an office at City Hall, right? Even if he wasn't working there himself, he must have a dedicated office manager, right?
Okay, go pick a fight with him!
The reason is that he said at the beginning: "If I'm not convinced, I can continue to challenge him!"

Dachun took a look at the office. The first floor was the public service hall, so it should be the second floor.

So Dachun went upstairs in full view of everyone, and as expected, they followed Dachun to the second floor.

Dachun became even more panicked. These were all masters of the city. It was very ungentlemanly to follow them like this. Only a runner from the consortium would do such a thing.

As expected, there were a bunch of baron and viscount offices on the second floor. Dachun searched along the way and found it! Knock on the door.

Someone called out from the door, "Who is it? Do you have an appointment?"

Not Fatty? Dachun shouted, "Dachun, the Baron and I are always ready—"

Before Dachun could finish, someone shouted from the door, "Come in!"

As Dachun entered, an official wearing reading glasses immediately came forward, bowing and shaking hands: "Sir, please take a seat! I'll pour you some tea!"

Dachun was stunned. Why was he so respectful to me? It couldn't be because I was an honorary citizen, but because he knew I was the president of the Baron's General Association, even though Shirley was appointed as the president.

The old official handed over the tea and said respectfully, "Sir, you are too polite. In fact, you can go directly to the master's house!"

Dachun guessed what was going on: "The Baron wants to—"

The old official said in a trembling voice: "Spices!"

Oh my god! Am I the only one who has the final say on such a big thing as spices? Yeah, it seems so! It's a good idea!

Dachun didn't know if it was impolite to continue to stir up trouble, but the big thing was to make a bigger move, use a ridiculous thing to cover up his own business, and make the consortium confused and unable to guess what was going on.

Dachun said, "Actually, I'm not here to discuss spices. I just returned from Plague Island. I've overcome the plague and my strength has greatly increased. I want to duel with the Baron!"

The old official was stunned: "Ah, this?"

"The Baron said he would accept my challenge at any time!"

The old official was stunned for a moment, then touched a magical object in the office that looked like a fruit. Is this a mobile phone?

Soon, the old official smiled and said, "The Baron is happy and willing to accept your challenge immediately! As for the location, on the street? Or in the arena?"

Wow! You're quite active in hitting me?
Dachun was really interested: "On the street!"

A duel in the street would be ridiculous enough, but an arena would be too formal.

No, no, this isn't ridiculous. This is also an indirect way of connecting with Vivian. As a pirate spy, she'll definitely sense my obsession with her. This is just a way to improve her favorability. But it's more than that! I need reputation to advance to Sage, and dueling with the Baron is all about gaining reputation, though I don't know if that reputation is useful.

The old official said, "Immediately arrange it. The master will go out immediately, and we will go there immediately. If we meet on the street, we will duel. How about it?"

"That's it!"

Dachun knew it. Even if his strength improved significantly, he wouldn't be a match for the NPC. Winning or losing didn't really matter to him. He was just curious. I'm his spice master, would he dare to beat me? Believe it or not, I could sell out of stock in a fit of rage.

So Dachun and the old official went out, and outside the door was a corridor full of high-end players.

Dachun suddenly felt like laughing. "Guess what I'm trying to do?" Actually, I don't even know what I'm doing. So, just follow closely and record the screen carefully. Dachun could already imagine how bewildered the raiders behind the scenes must be.

……

At this time, the short video of Dachun returning to the city instantly became a global hot search.

The global consortium team, the Chinese team, and even the entire Internet cafe were in an uproar.

The most shocked were the Kamijou team and the Tata team.

The young master was shocked that Dachun's first action was to find the Baron, which must be related to the spices. When Dachun returned, the lights on Plague Island went out, proving that the so-called ghost town might not exist.

What shocked Tata was that Dachun did not come back from the port by boat, but appeared directly at the church gate. This meant that the church sent a strong man to the island to pick up Dachun and teleport him back. The standard was far beyond that of the God of War Tata!

Looking at Black Iron City, there are very few players who can enter the church. Tata, the 12th-ranked player in the world, has almost monopolized the church. Now Dachun is very likely to pose a huge challenge to Tata, the god of war's monopoly.

At this time, the young master stared at the live broadcast to check Dachun's every move.

A surveillance team member released a new video: "Reporting to the young master, Baron Bapon's carriage appeared at the Night Rose Bar and picked up Female No. 1."

The young master was even more confused. What was this for?
……

Finally, Dachun, who was watched by thousands of people along the way, met the Baron's carriage on the street. Vivian got off the carriage first and cast a charming and resentful look at Dachun.

At this moment, Dachun felt indescribably touched, not because of love, but because he hadn't seen Sasi for more than ten days and she ignored him. It seemed like a lifetime ago that he almost forgot about her!
But now that she's there, Dachun has to shout the slogan: "Baron, I want to duel for love!"

The tens of thousands of players in the audience were in an uproar! Vivian pretended to be shy, and Dachun felt extremely embarrassed.

The same pig snort came from the carriage: "Accept the duel!"

The driver flicked his whip, dispersing the surrounding players: "Get out of the way!"

The Baron got out of the car, and the one-ton mountain of meat was even more intimidating.

Dachun had originally just wanted to lose and be done with it, but when he saw Vivian's performance and considered that Farner might also be secretly observing, he suddenly didn't want to lose so easily. That would make him look down on women. Even more so, he would be looked down upon by the Baron. How would he control him in the future?
The only option left was to deploy the Angelic Pet! Was it appropriate to openly deploy one's greatest trump card in front of players from all over the world?

Perfect! It's bound to come out sooner or later anyway! If I can get it out sooner, I'll establish myself as the best in China. Everyone in the internet cafes and the professional teams on the third floor will respect me. I'll even be able to command the Chinese region, and it'll be worth all these meals.

Show yourself, little darling!

As the ball of light flashed out, all the players were in an uproar again: "What is this?"

Damn, it’s so high-end and there are still people who don’t know its value?

The next moment, the fat man's slap came again!

Dachun resisted with his face—bang! The screen flashed -545!
Holy shit! Luckily I only have 2800 HP this time!

The light ball cast a full set of healing spells, and Dachun's health was instantly full!

The whole audience was in an uproar again, and someone finally recognized the item: "It's an angel! A pet angel!"
