Legend: One corpse-picking message per day

Chapter 213 International Route Treasure Hunt Event!

Zhou Xiangbo!
The Lord of Beixiong City!

The president of the Level 4 Beixiong Guild!
But it could make even the most powerful and influential young ladies and gentlemen of the level 12 guild, such as Yu Jie and the Dark Night Emperor, turn pale at the mere mention of it.

It is enough to deter dark web bounty hunters from venturing into Beixiong City!
Those who know him are alive, while the fearless have already entered the cycle of reincarnation!
After He Sheng transmigrated, he unintentionally received countless protections from this city lord.

Even now, without Zhou Xiangbo's protection, he really couldn't guarantee his family's safety...

However, he always felt that the city lord seemed to have some kind of connection with his adoptive mother, Ye Jing.

He just didn't want to uncover it...

After all, that's a matter from the previous generation. As long as it doesn't affect my own interests, there's no need to uncover the truth.

On the contrary, he actually gained benefits!
Zhou Xiangbo not only invested in him, but also protected his family.

Of course, if it weren't for Zhou Xiangbo, he himself would probably be fine with his invisibility ring, but his family might not be so lucky.

Although he was a time traveler, the involuntary surge of emotion he felt when he saw his parents and sister here made him realize that they were connected by blood.

Therefore, he is grateful to Zhou Xiangbo.

I've also fantasized about when I can repay him.

But the other party was an extremely powerful figure, and he felt that he was not qualified to meet him or disturb him.

At most, when selling equipment, I'll bring Bai Yifei01 along and sell some items to him.

Let him make some profit from the difference...

However, He Sheng did not expect that Zhou Xiangbo would actually want to call him now.

Why do I need to see him?

he does not know……

His first thought was whether he had come for his mother.

My second thought was about the dark web?
Otherwise, he really couldn't understand why Zhou Xiangbo would spend time seeing him.

After a moment of silence, he asked:
"Why did the president want to see me?"

"Hehe, that's good news."

"What good news?" He Sheng asked, intrigued.

"You'll see when you see him. Can you back out now? He's waiting for you at the City Lord's Mansion," Bai Yifei 01 said mysteriously.

……

The city lord's mansion of Beixiong City is located in the very center of the city.

It's actually just a high-rise building of over thirty stories enclosed by a large compound...

There's also a tower top on top...

It is said that the city lord lives at the very top...

He Sheng arrived at the entrance of the city lord's mansion, told the guards his name and purpose, and was immediately allowed to pass.

It's obvious that the higher-ups have already given that information.

Upon entering, he was greeted by a beautiful woman who led him to the elevator, which took him directly to the 36th floor.

He Sheng followed the woman into a luxurious hall.

There was no one else there, only a tall man in white casual clothes standing by the window, gazing at the myriad lights below...

Hearing footsteps, the man slowly turned his head.

Eye to eye!

He was stunned. Was this Zhou Xiangbo?

My day!

He's pretty handsome!

However, he seems to be a little less impressive than me, but he has a unique and special aura.

Standing there, he seemed to be the only light in this space.

I can't tell the level...

His strength is estimated to far surpass He Sheng's, so much so that the system is too lazy to even display it.

Zhou Xiangbo was also sizing up He Sheng, his eyes unwavering.

"Hello, Chairman. I heard you were looking for me?"

Mr. He greeted him warmly with a smile.

"Okay, have a seat. I have something to discuss with you."

The two sat facing each other. The woman poured tea for them and stood to the side. Zhou Xiangbo then slowly asked:
What level are you?

"39."

He Sheng didn't hide anything; there was nothing he couldn't say.

"Should I reach level 40 in nine days?"

“Okay.” He Sheng thought for a moment, felt it was about right, and nodded slowly.

"Very good. In ten days, the treasure hunt event for levels 40 to 45 on the international route will be open."

I hope you can represent Beixiong City in this competition.

"What? A treasure hunt? I'm going to participate?" He Sheng was speechless.

"That's right, you go."

"why?"

“Because there are no players in Beixiong City who are more powerful than you at level 40 to 45,” Zhou Xiangbo sighed.

"But if I go, do you think I have an advantage? You don't think I can snatch any treasures, do you?" He Sheng asked, somewhat perplexed.

He can't even get a top 100 title within the Dragon Kingdom, so it seems a bit far-fetched for him to participate in some kind of international treasure hunt.

Zhou Xiangbo shook his head, reached out, and a packet of cigarettes appeared in his hand.

"Have one?"

"Alright. I thought you weren't going to smoke, City Lord."

They lit it and each took a puff.

Zhou Xiangbo then smiled and said, "It's alright. You represent the highest combat strength of our city at this stage. I will arrange for two people to accompany you to form a team."

Once you're inside, you don't need to do anything; just make sure you don't die.

"Uh, this sounds like you're just trying to make up the numbers?" After taking a drag, He Sheng spoke more casually and seemed less tense and stressed.

Zhou Xiangbo nodded: "Yes, you guys are just there to make up the numbers. The higher-ups require each city to send at least three of the strongest at this level."

"I heard that the Holy Maidens and Holy Sons of the Holy Dragon Guild are all very strong, so why do we need to make up the numbers?" He Sheng was a little puzzled.

Zhou Xiangbo explained, "Because there are some materials inside that are not available outside, as well as a lot of good things. If you are lucky, you can also obtain those rare materials, etc."

but……"

"what happened?"

"The mortality rate is very high. Because this is an international event, like a game instance, anyone at this level can enter, so there are many skilled players. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, that's why I was wondering why we had to go. We're just cannon fodder."

"Like I said, if you're lucky, you can get good things."

"What kind of activity is it exactly?" He Sheng asked curiously.

"Once inside, various treasure chests will spawn. Even if you're not very skilled, you can still get top-tier treasure chests if you're lucky."

You might get something good.

Once you get the treasure chest, just hide and avoid being killed until the timer expires and you're teleported out.

Even if you get killed, if the treasure chest isn't destroyed, you might still be able to get some good stuff out of it.

Therefore, the authorities requested that each city send someone.

Don't worry, whatever equipment you're wearing, I'll replace it for you if it falls off.

Death also gives you the fruits of your longevity.

He Sheng nodded, but then his eyes darted around and he said:

"Why don't we just go in wearing junk clothes? That way we won't lose our equipment if we die."

"No, the monster guarding the treasure chest is very powerful; we can't beat it without proper equipment."

"There's another old monster?"

"Of course, otherwise I could just find anyone."

"Do you have any good equipment I can borrow? Like a few powerful artifacts. I should be able to wear them by level 40." He Sheng took the opportunity to make a request.

Zhou Xiangbo was speechless...

He exhaled a smoke ring and said, "Even if I had a divine artifact, I wouldn't dare give it to you. There are countless experts inside, and even if you have all the divine artifacts, you can't be invincible..."

Something came up and I was held up earlier, so I'll stop here for today.
