Apocalyptic Lord: Heroes of Might and Magic Descend

Chapter 108 Qiao Doudou [Please Subscribe]

In the Qiaoxi District of the migratory bird city, around an outdoor tavern, Qiao Doudou watched with anticipation as people came and went.

Most of the people lingering around the tavern were from the same lower class as her.

They are refugees from the "New World," as they call them.

People who have experienced catastrophes and life-or-death struggles will inevitably have a changed mindset. Those who originally had a childlike mentality, regardless of gender, are basically all dead.

Because in this era, one must do everything in their power to survive.

Qiao Doudou's family has all died, but she wants to live, firstly because it was her parents' last wish, and secondly because survival is a biological instinct.

Now, due to the rise of various forces, large and small, the originally dangerous cities have begun to be cleared out, and a large part of the area is no longer home to wild animals.

Of course, the hope of ordinary people rising up also disappeared.

Those treasure chests hidden in the city, those troop recruitment buildings without guards, those treasures that are easy to obtain...

These things have almost disappeared due to the large-scale sweep.

Those who can catch this wave can rise to prominence, while those who miss it will fall further behind and be trapped in a predicament where they can never catch up.

Qiao Doudou also wanted to strive and rise to prominence, so she joined several gangs.

Gangs are a product of the lower classes banding together, sharing resources, intelligence, and information, and standing together in the face of threats. However, anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that these low-level gangs are fundamentally unreliable.

If they really encounter trouble, they won't even have time to hide. They're not going to actually fight against a powerful lord hero just because of a member.

That's not courage, that's courting death!

So this is not a long-term solution. Qiao Doudou was an excellent student in school, the kind who was first in the whole school. She knew that learning and survival are the same. Both require thinking and understanding, and then coming up with the best solution.

The upgrade of the tavern, the architecture and rules of this new world, is, in her view, the key to "upgrading ordinary people like her."

Sure enough, she found an opportunity in the [Bounty Missions].

A skeletal warhorse appeared in the distance, its heavy, rhythmic hooves immediately drawing the attention of everyone outside the tavern.

"He's a lord-level hero!"

"Bone Horse... looks like it's from the Necropolis faction. I love that faction, it's so cool!"

"I'm so envious, damn it..."

'

Upon approaching the tavern, Lin Mo dismounted, retrieved his warhorse from his military manual, glanced around, looked down at the paper airplane he had just folded, and then stepped into the tavern.

Qiao Doudou's eyes lit up outside.

"It's here, it's here, my chance has come!"

She took a deep breath and hurriedly took out a bag of wet wipes she had found in the supermarket earlier from her pocket. She wiped her face, neck and hands clean. In addition to cleaning them, she also used half a lipstick to apply some color to her pale lips.

It's clear that he's not actually good at this kind of thing.

Back in school, some female students didn't focus on their studies and spent all their time fooling around with other people. The smarter ones knew to date older men or hang out with wealthy businessmen, while the dumber ones would date young, blond-haired guys in order to be considered unique.

These people themselves go hungry nine times out of three days, yet they are still favored by these young girls.

In Qiao Doudou's eyes, these people were either extremely stupid or extremely stupid.

Ironically, she now has to do something similar.

She carefully analyzed the topic she named "Survival and Rise in the New World" and found that unless one had extraordinary luck, one had to rely on powerful figures.

Especially for someone like her, who is only 1.58 meters tall.

Although she is not tall, her body proportions are excellent. She has a small face and long legs, and her proportions are perfect. She has been on the "school beauty list" since middle school, always ranking first or second. So she is confident in her own physical attributes.

She's come to terms with it; if she wants to survive, she has to be willing to risk everything.

If the lord who comes this time is a female lord, then we'll proceed with the normal trade. If it's a male lord, well... we'll have to find a way to get on his good side and try to sell both the information and ourselves for a good price.

"Qiao Doudou, you are confident, strong, and self-loving, but times have changed, and you have ultimately fallen to this state..." She muttered to herself, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and then walked into the tavern.

She found the person who had just come in; he was sitting in the corner, clearly waiting for someone.

Qiao Doudou took a deep breath, took out another hand-folded frog from her pocket, and walked over.

After sitting down, put down the paper frog.

Paper airplanes and paper frogs were tokens of love.

Lin Mo stared at the pretty young girl, but with lipstick that clearly didn't match her style, and for a moment he didn't know what she was up to.

He probably wouldn't have come if he hadn't been so interested in the news about the vampire cloak.

After all, this is very likely a scam.

Moreover, even if it were true, the transaction could be conducted directly through a bounty mission without requiring the parties to meet in person, but the other party insisted that they must meet in person.

Clearly, the other party has ulterior motives.

However, Lin Mo was not worried about anything. To others, he possessed overwhelming power and advantages. Even without using any troops or magic, relying solely on the enhanced physique of a level 20 lord hero with the four-dimensional attributes, Lin Mo's combat power was already stronger than that of a vampire king.

Against an ordinary human, a single finger, using about 80% of its strength, can instantly pierce the skin, shatter bones, and pierce the heart.

Like a sharp sword!

"So you're the one trying to survive, Bean? Tell me, if the information is true, I'll give you 2000 gold coins as promised in the bounty." Lin Mo went straight to the point.

Across from her, Qiao Doudou awkwardly tossed her hair. Seeing no emotion in the other person's eyes, she felt a little helpless, but still mustered her courage and said, "I don't want gold coins. If the news is true and you've obtained the vampire cloak, can I follow you?"

"?"

Lin Mo was taken aback at first, then he understood.

He could understand this situation. By using a message to curry favor with a powerful lord hero at this stage, it was not only a profitable deal, but also a win-win situation.

For Lin Mo, simply accepting the help of an insignificant person to obtain information was also a profitable gain.

Since it's a win-win situation, why not?

"Deal!" Lin Mo didn't waste any more words. Anyway, his territory was large and had abundant resources. There were already hundreds of people in the surrounding safe zone, so he didn't care about adding one more.

Qiao Doudou was unaware of all this and looked quite pleased with herself.

She is the kind of person who values ​​the spirit of contracts, so she revealed the information about the "vampire cloak".

Lin Mo's expression turned strange after hearing this.

He really didn't expect things to turn out this way.

I initially thought the location she mentioned might be in a dangerous area, but she revealed that she knew a gang leader who possessed this treasure.

This immediately aroused Lin Mo's suspicions.

"Are you sure that's a vampire cloak, a strategic treasure?" Lin Mo asked, frowning as he sized up the girl in front of him.

The latter also clearly sensed this suspicion.

She stood up abruptly: "I'll take you there, but let's make this clear beforehand: those people weren't good people even before the cataclysm. Now that there's no law to restrain them, they'll kill and rob, they'll do anything."

Lin Mo remained skeptical.

But as the saying goes, when it comes to important matters, it's better to believe it's true than not.

"Lead the way!"
