The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

Players were buzzing with discussion after the new mission was announced.

"Wow, this game is something else! Look at the reward for this new mission, it unlocks the next stage of evolution ahead of time."

"Isn't this a reward from the main quest? It's been moved to a newly triggered quest."

"The mission mechanics in this game are so flexible!"

"The reward for the main quest has changed; it's now 20 magic coins."

Wow, so many!

........

Honestly, this was the first time they'd ever seen a mission reward that could be changed on the spot, even after playing the game for so long.

However, this has also given players a new understanding of the game.

"100% accurate to reality, the official account didn't lie to me!"

"We've struck it rich this time! After deducting the materials we need to complete the quest, we can exchange the rest for some in-game currency with NPCs. Killing so many demon wolves this time will definitely net us a lot of magic coins."

"Brothers, let's get moving! Clean up the battlefield, exchange for magic coins, and then get back to work and build the tanks!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, hurry up and get the tanks out so we can get revenge! I'm so sick and bloated from killing everyone in that last wave, I can't stand it until I get my revenge!"

While discussing, the players began cleaning up the battlefield.

First, there were level four monster materials. The Dry Needle Monster provided very limited quantities, but the Demon Wolf provided level six materials, and Jiang Chen quickly gathered the amount he needed.

As for monster cores, they are relatively rare. These monster cores are produced with a probability after monsters die. Fortunately, there were enough monsters that died this time, and we managed to collect 30. As for the final level 4 monster cores, they are the easiest to obtain.

The walls on this floor are covered with them, and players also have plenty stored in the bunkers, so it's easy to gather enough.

After gathering all the quest materials, the players set them aside and then began to collect the other scattered materials on the battlefield.

Although many of the dire wolves were already broken in previous battles, players still managed to piece together quite a few.

.......

Before long, they arrived at the tree hollow.

Jiang Chen brought out a wooden table from somewhere and sat behind it to become the manager, while Lilith was pulled over to be the accountant.

"Huh? Feng Xiaoxiao, you actually have so many?" Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised as he looked at the monster corpses that Feng Xiaoxiao had brought over in several carts.

"What are you still standing there for? Go count them!" Jiang Chen said irritably to Lilith, who was still in a daze.

"Me?" Lilith pointed to herself.

"Otherwise, why would I have called you here?"

Upon hearing this, Lilith glared at Jiang Chen fiercely and walked angrily to the cart.

"Hmph! If you hadn't indirectly saved me just now, I wouldn't have listened to you!"

Despite her complaints, Lilith still started taking inventory.

"Four legs plus the body, plus the head, that's one. Let me count... there are... seven demon wolves in total."

"Then there are... seven magic crystals."

Lilith quickly figured it out.

"Seven demon wolves, not bad." Seeing this, Jiang Chen stepped forward to praise them and pulled Lilith aside.

"Heh heh, money power? Money power is nothing to brag about."

As Feng Xiaoxiao accepted the gold coins, he chuckled awkwardly. Then, under Lilith's questioning gaze, Feng Xiaoxiao ran to the entrance of the tree hole and exchanged a few words with another Pata.

Then, this little darling handed its spoils to Feng Xiaoxiao with such a fresh and lively expression. Immediately afterwards, Lilith saw Feng Xiaoxiao dragging the spoils over.

"No...no..."

Seeing this strange behavior, Lilith was somewhat incoherent.

"Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen! Aren't you going to do anything about this? He's stealing other Pata's loot right in front of you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen ignored it and began to take inventory.

"Hmm, this time it's three magic coins."

Lilith's eyes widened instinctively.

"Jiang Chen, do you know what stealing someone else's spoils means in the army?!"

"And you actually allowed this to happen!"

Lilith was getting a little frantic.

She had heard her father say that this might cause discontent among the soldiers and could potentially lead to a mutiny!

However, before Lilith could say anything, the same thing happened again.

This time is different from before.

This time, it seems the two sides have started arguing.

Both sides are arguing their case based on reason.

It looks like the other side is going to put up a fight.

Upon seeing this, Lilith became interested. She wanted to see how Jiang Chen would handle such a situation.

However, Jiang Chen remained unmoved.

Immediately afterwards, Lilith saw Feng Xiaoxiao talking excitedly, spittle flying everywhere.

Finally, the opponent took out a magic core from his spoils, argued about it, and then angrily threw the magic core back into his own spoils.

Then he stormed off in a huff.

Lilith: ? ? ? ?

"No, you're leaving already?"

"So what were you doing just now?"

But it didn't end there. Lilith saw Feng Xiaoxiao jump onto the spoils and shout at the back, and then a bunch of people slapped their spoils in front of Feng Xiaoxiao.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Xiaoxiao came over with the spoils of war to deliver the goods.

Lilith: (╯°□°)

What happened? Who am I? What's going on with this group of Pata?

At this moment, Feng Xiaoxiao has been labeled a bully by Lilith, while Jiang Chen has been portrayed as an incompetent leader who condones his subordinates' crimes and does nothing!

But that wasn't all; Lilith finally saw something even more outrageous.

While Jiang Chen was calculating his spoils... he... he... actually...

Lilith clearly saw that one of the demon wolves was missing a leg, which could have been counted as a whole wolf if the other leg had been added, but Jiang Chen had mistakenly counted it as half a wolf.

Passing through the latrine!

It's like the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked too!

As expected, like leader, like subordinates!

Think about those little Pata who risked their lives for their territory, and then what?

What they got in return was the bully forcibly seizing their spoils, and the leader's stingy military pay.

How could there be such a terrible slap!

However, Lilith's eyes quickly lit up.

"Yes! How come I didn't think of that!"

"If Jiang Chen does this, his subordinates will definitely be full of complaints!"

"Those little bastards must have been extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Chen for a long time, and they must have wanted to overthrow his brutal rule for a long time!"

"If I were to gather all these people, dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's brutal rule, right now..."

"Hehehe..."

Thinking of this, Lilith slipped out of the tree hole while Jiang Chen wasn't paying attention.

......

Meanwhile, on Jiang Chen's side...

Jiang Chen was very satisfied with this harvest. Not only did he collect enough materials, but he also increased the number of times he could summon players to 300.

It was more than enough to support a large-scale battle, which allowed Jiang Chen to feel a little more at ease for the time being.

As Jiang Chen looked around, he couldn't find Lilith, which puzzled him.

Where are the Liliths?

"Forget it, there's no point in keeping her here anyway. She doesn't even know how to take kickbacks. It would be a huge loss for me to have her as the accountant."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen looked around.

Seeing that no players were coming, Jiang Chen went to the place where he stored the materials to upgrade his rank.

"I'll take this opportunity to raise my rank first."

However, seeing the magic crystals corrupted by the abyss among the materials, Jiang Chen felt a little apprehensive.

"Is it really okay to use this as a material?"

"Oh well, it's not like I'm directly absorbing it, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen opened the attribute interface and began to operate it.
