Excessive ferocity due to caution

Abandoned city, Tianwang Hotel.

A refined and elegant man sat in the magnificent hall, rolled a cigarette, and gently sniffed it.

He wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a delicate, feminine beauty.

Blonde hair.

The skin has an abnormal paleness.

A beautiful waitress in a red cheongsam came to his side and offered him a bowl of celadon tea.

The aroma of tea fills the air.

"Thanks."

The man smiled slightly, and the waitress's pretty face immediately turned red.

He's so handsome...

I wish he could be my husband.

Thinking of this, she shook her head violently again.

Pooh!

What am I thinking?

She left the hall, and about three minutes later, a middle-aged man in a suit walked in through the door.

This person is Chen Nan, one of the administrators of the Tianwang Guild.

"You're here?"

The handsome man crossed his legs, showing absolutely no respect for Chen Nan, the administrator of the Tianwang Guild, and even appearing somewhat frivolous.

However, Chen Nan didn't mind.

If you look closely, you can see humility in his facial features.

If this scene were to occur among a group of players, it would definitely cause a huge uproar!

The management of Tianwang Guild actually managed to display such a humble expression!

What is the identity of this handsome man?

"Lord Drax, I wonder what has happened in this small place that has brought you here in person..."

Chen Nan lowered his voice and smiled obsequiously.

He didn't want it to be like this either.

But Chen Nan knew that she couldn't afford to offend the man in front of her.

This man's name is Drax.

He is a Class B member of the Red Gloves organization of the Skull Church.

His strength is unfathomable, and the resources behind him are terrifying!

If you mess with Drax, you're messing with the Red Gloves.

At that point, he'll be in big trouble!

The Skull Church has two extremely mysterious organizations under its command—the Red Gloves and the Black Boots.

Anyone with even a slight understanding of the church would never want to be targeted by these two organizations!

They specifically recruit the most vicious and ruthless individuals from the chaotic world, brainwash and train them through the church, ultimately turning them into absolutely loyal henchmen who come into contact with all sorts of extreme and bizarre things, helping the church do all sorts of dirty and shady things...

The only difference is that the red gloves have a shinier surface.

They typically promote the interests of the church through forced transactions.

And black boots...

It solves the problems that red gloves can't easily solve, and it addresses the people who cause those problems!

There have been rumors circulating.

The reason the black boots and red gloves are black and red is because they don't want people to see how much blood is stained on them...

Within the Tianwang Guild, there are indeed powerful figures capable of rivaling the Church.

However, the guild and the church have huge interests involved, and they will not clash with the church for the sake of a mere administrator!

Therefore, I absolutely cannot offend Drax in front of me.

"It's nothing, just that thing from last time..."

"The church, you know, is the beacon of this world. Our existence is to make this world more beautiful and peaceful... Not long ago, a terrible guy 'turned into a zombie' and ran around everywhere, ending up here."

"The church was worried that his body would have a negative impact on you, and was also concerned about the safety of the people in the ruined city area, so it specially spent a lot of manpower and resources to retrieve his body..."

Drax particularly emphasized the phrase "spends of his own volition".

Chen Nan, being a seasoned veteran, knew exactly what he was implying.

So, while cursing under his breath, he forced a smile and said:

"Lord Drax, please rest assured."

"Since the matter of the abandoned city is causing you concern, we will certainly make up for some of the church's losses..."

Drax tilted his head back, a faint smile playing on his lips.

A lowly reptile.

She's quite sensible.

"The chairman has assigned me to cooperate with you this time. I wonder what kind of corpse you want?"

Drax waved slightly.

"The matter of the corpse is none of your business; the church will handle it."

"I've come to see you for something else."

As he spoke, Drax pulled a photograph out of his clothes.

It was placed on the coffee table and slowly pushed towards Chen Nan.

Do you recognize this person?

Chen Nan took a look at the photo.

It was a man standing amidst the ruins.

His face was beaming with a smile.

"It looks somewhat familiar..."

Chen Nan frowned.

He was certain he had seen that face before.

Because he's handsome.

Moreover, it is highly recognizable.

However... he couldn't remember for the moment.

After carefully searching his mind, Chen Nan shook his head and said:

"No, Lord Drax, I can't remember where I've seen him before."

"I'm afraid you'll have to give me some time."

Drax's smile remained:

"Find him. Perhaps there's a chance to discuss your chairman's suggestion to invest in Chaotic Realm Entertainment Co., Ltd."

Chen Nan's eyes lit up.

What the hell!

Investing in Luanjie Entertainment Co., Ltd.?

This is a huge order!

If he can accomplish this... he will be a great contributor to both the church and the guild in the future!

Doesn't its status rise accordingly?

"Lord Drax, rest assured... I will definitely handle this matter well!"

"Trust me, you won't have to wait long!"

Drax nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way, that waiter was quite nice... Perfect timing, I haven't had a woman's delicious flesh in a while, do you mind...?"

He licked his lips.

"Not at all, not at all!"

"If adults want these cheap items, they can just take them!"

At this moment, Chen Nan could no longer find the waitress.

His mind was filled with thoughts of "I'm going to be rich!"

As for the female player who worked at the guild hotel...

Heh, what does her life or death have to do with me?

People die every day in this chaotic world.

She just had bad luck!

The handsome blond man stood up, his nimble fingers brushing against his pocket, and a bunch of white roses appeared at his fingertips.

He was holding a white rose.

With a warm smile on his lips, he walked towards the waitress outside the door.

Almost no woman would refuse him.

Especially women outside the church.

Because most of them are extremely stupid.

They could only see his glamorous exterior.

They might think they've met their Prince Charming.

They will give birth to their own children.

They would even die for themselves.

However, only in their final moments do these women realize... just how foolish they had been...

But when that moment arrived.

Regret is useless now...

After Drax left, Chen Nan held the photo and looked at it over and over again.

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.

Finally, he slapped his thigh!

Damn!

Isn't this Zhao Yi from the Hunzi Guild?

He had seen this newcomer during Zhao Yi's debut live stream and even sent him a guild invitation.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Yi ended up joining the "All Scoundrels" guild.

After that, he became busy with various things and stopped paying attention to the newcomer.

But Zhao Yi is quite famous on the Yongye Forum.

Occasionally, we can hear some news about Zhao Yi.

At that moment, Chen Nan hurriedly picked up his phone and called the Hunzi Guild.

The bell rang—

"Goodbye, Mom, I'm setting sail tonight..."

The bell will ring for one minute.

No one heard.

Chen Nan was somewhat anxious.

His future was at stake, and he didn't want to wait a moment longer.

However, no matter how many times he made the call, all he ever received was "the oars of happiness and wisdom".

hateful!

Chen Nan hurriedly posted a reward-based question in the Tianwang Guild group and finally managed to get the contact information of a player from a mediocre guild.

"Feeding...that's good."

As soon as the call connected, a heavy local accent came through the other end.

However, Chen Nan couldn't care less about that at this moment.

He hurriedly said:

"Hello, is this Mr. Zeng?"

"Hey, I'm a former machine gunner! Who's that?"

"This is Chen Nan, an administrator of the Tianwang Guild... Mr. Zeng, could you please provide the phone number of your guild's administrator? I have an urgent matter!"

"Damn it! Fuck your mother (administrator), fuck your mother steamed bun! (The admin is not here)."

"???"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Nan was stunned.

That son of a bitch... actually insulted me?

How dare someone from such a trashy guild insult me?

At that time, Chen Nan suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

"You want to mess with my mother's steamed buns?"

"I'll kill your mother's dandruff!"

He angrily retorted.

The person on the other end of the phone hurriedly began to explain:

"Fuck your mother (Administrator Chen), I'm not referring to Yixi (that's not what I meant), my Yixi is fucking your mother Baozi! Baozi! Not fucking your mother, but fucking your mother!"

Chen Nan was so angry that she was trembling all over.

That son of a bitch actually kept emphasizing it!

"Zeng Zhiqiang, right?"

"I'll remember you. I'll fucking kill you later!"

After Chen Nan finished speaking, she angrily hung up the phone.

Damn!

He paused for a moment, then regained some of his composure.

Another phone call was made...

...

At this moment, Zeng Zhiqiang, who was eating hotpot in room 404, was completely dazed and sat down on the ground with a thud.

It’s over.

It's all over.

He was in a good mood today, having finally found Zhao Yi and hoping to learn from him how to perform better in dungeons. It just so happened that at noon, the two of them were having hot pot together in the room, chatting happily, when suddenly a phone call came in on his cell phone...

I asked a completely random question.

then……

I'm going to kill him!

Zeng Zhiqiang was dumbfounded.

It's like being caught in a trap while sitting at home!

Zhao Yi asked him what had happened, and Zeng Zhiqiang told Zhao Yi everything that had just occurred, causing the latter's expression to change slightly.

Why would a top-three guild hire a lower-ranked guild?

And at such a crucial time.

After a pause, Zhao Yi put down his chopsticks, picked up Zeng Zhiqiang's phone, and called back.

"Hello!"

"You little brat! You dare to hit me?"

"I'm not Zeng Zhiqiang, I'm Yi Zhao, the guild's warehouse manager. Who were you trying to reach when you called?"

"Oh, I see... I'll contact your guild's administrator!"

Zhao Yi sighed upon hearing this:

"I'm so sorry, the administrators and guild leaders are all out, and we don't know when they'll be back."

"If there's anything you need to tell me, you can."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"This matter is very important. Once it's done, I can recommend you for a chance to switch to our guild."

Zhao Yi was overjoyed:

"Is there really such a good thing?"

"Brother, what do you need me to do?"

Chen Nan was quite satisfied with Zhao Yi's reaction.

Based on his past understanding of human nature, the more greedy a person is... the easier they are to control!

"Help me find someone."

"Who should I look for?"

"Zhao Yi".

"What does my brother want with him?"

"Don't ask, anyone who asks about this is doomed!"

"Got it!"

"Once you find him, share his location with me. Keep this a secret at all costs."

"Okay!"

The smile on Zhao Yi's face vanished as the phone call ended.

Those guys from the Sky Hope Guild... got involved with the church?

Zhao Yi has no enmity with the Tianwang Guild.

The other party's higher-ups suddenly called me, not to speak directly with me, but to have someone else keep an eye on me...

The behavior was bizarre, so the motives were naturally unusual as well.

I originally thought the church was acting alone.

But this chance phone call from the Tianwang Guild made Zhao Yi realize that the power of the Church was... far more terrifying than he had imagined!

They are like rats and poisonous insects, infiltrating everywhere.

It has even infiltrated the player community!

However, Zhao Yibin was not anxious.

The clown is waiting.

He is also waiting.

Addison was indispensable if the church was to be overthrown.

Although it is not a robot rabbit that is good at fighting.

But its strength as a near-major threat is undeniable.

Moreover... Zhao Yi has another trump card.

...

Two days later.

Zhao Yi received a message from the warehouse ghost.

Addison has appeared.

However, it was in poor condition and was severely damaged.

It also went into a berserk state, attacking anything living it could see.

The warehouse ghost said that the last time their people saw Addison was in the desolate mountains to the north.

It has already sent people to occupy the point.

No new whereabouts of Edison have been discovered, nor have any other forces been identified.

Zhao Yi hung up the phone and, led by Wu Liang, soon arrived at the woods where Edison had been found.

Everywhere was a mess.

Zhao Yi carefully examined the scene, activated his Evil Eye power, and immediately discovered clues.

A huge old locust tree.

Zhao picked up a leaf from the pile of fallen leaves.

Withered and dilapidated.

In the corner, there was still a drop of water.

Zhao Yi will never forget this water in his entire life.

That's the Fountain of Helplessness, poured from the cup that the mad inventor used to drink from!

Ordinary living creatures must not come into contact with this spring water, otherwise even a small puddle... can drown a person or a ghost!

Only those whose strength surpasses that of a half-step Great Ferocious can barely manage to float in water.

Zhao Yi looked at the Naihe Spring on the fallen leaves and suddenly raised his eyebrows and said:

"Where are the ravines in the nearby mountains?"

The warehouse ghost replied:

"There are quite a few ravines, though."

"Which kind of cult leader are you referring to?"

Zhao Yi:

"closed loop."

The warehouse ghost pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pointed north.

"We still have to go another thirty miles north."

Zhao Yi immediately patted its shoulder.

"Walk!"

PS:

I went to get my feet checked today.

Have any of you ever had paronychia?

Never heard of it...?

It's when a nail grows into the flesh, it's extremely painful, and it can even fester and become infected. You have to use a razor blade to cut open the nail and then use tweezers to remove it.

But don't worry, I don't have paronychia.

I think I have a fungal infection in my wound; mushrooms might grow on it in a few days.

Hey, I think I've discovered a way to make money.

Goodnight, my darlings!
