“What? You don’t dare?!”
Cao Fei Apollo raised his chin and made a throat-slitting gesture with the golden sword in his hand. He provoked, “If you don’t dare, I can let you off! I’m in a good mood today and I have just completed a B-rank bounty mission! However, it’s only this time. The next time I see you, I’ll definitely torture you!”
Lin Bei: (;¬_¬)…
“What are you looking at? Are you not convinced?”
Seeing Lin Bei’s disdain, Cao Fei Apollo immediately said angrily, “I’m not afraid to tell you that I’ve already completed the advancement of the Level S hidden profession! When I learn my exclusive skill, you won’t have any chance of winning!”
“Okay.”
Lin Bei shrugged and felt that he should ignore this guy, who was too naive.
“Tria, I’ll leave the Tavern’s Mystic Realm to you.”
“Alright, Prince Charming!”
Tria nodded and smiled. “By the way, that newcomer is Lord Monka’s new disciple. Please don’t take offense.”
“Oh? Brother Monka’s disciple?”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up.
“That’s right. He has already completed the advancement of the Bloodthirsty Berserker. Previously, Lord Monka gave him a trial mission, which was to complete a B-rank bounty mission. Looking at his high-spirited appearance now, there’s a high chance that he succeeded, right?”
Tria said, “But he’s been provoking Prince Charming. Should we inform Lord Monka and ask him to personally come and deal with it?”
“That’s good. I don’t want to fight him.”
Lin Bei smiled and nodded.
He did not want to attack. It was not that he was afraid of Cao Fei Apollo, but if he attacked, the other party would lose his attributes. This was a result he did not want to see. After all, that guy was one of his future main team members. If he was killed and crippled, it would be a joke.
When Tria received Lin Bei’s reply, she immediately contacted Monka.
However, Cao Fei Apollo could not wait anymore. He leaned forward and continued to provoke him. “Kid, can you do it? If you’re afraid, just say it. What do you mean by pretending to be mute now? Do you dare to fight me? Say something!”
“You…”
Lin Bei hesitated.
“What about me? I admit that your PK skills are very strong, but there’s a limit to them! I’ve long figured out your previous positioning skills! If you’re man enough, fight me again now!”
“Sigh, seriously. Alright, you got me. Let’s spar.”
Lin Bei sighed. Forget it, I’ll torture him a little. Otherwise, he won’t learn.
Cao Fei Apollo said arrogantly, “Come on, let’s start the duel mode. Real men have to fight! The spar mode is only for children to play house!”
“…”
Lin Bei had a headache.
Damn it, I gave you a chance. Why did you have to court death?
Is a Level S hidden profession very awesome?
“Scared?”
Cao Fei Apollo was aggressive.
“You really think so?!”
Lin Bei couldn’t take it anymore. It was fine if it was once or twice, but you’ve provoked me time and time again. If I don’t attack you, will there be an explanation?
“I’m warning you one last time. Don’t make the wrong decision.”
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes and said, “I’m not fighting you for your own good. I’m afraid you won’t be able to accept the failure.”
“Cut it out! Who doesn’t know how to talk glibly? Let’s fight as real men!”
“Alright, as you wish!”
When Lin Bei heard this, he said coldly, “Everyone else, disperse. This grandson won’t learn his lesson unless he’s beaten up!”
As he spoke, he started the duel. His target was Cao Fei Apollo!
Cao Fei Apollo received the duel notification and grinned.
It was impossible to say that he did not value Lin Bei. There was a reason why he chose to fight in the tavern.
He was now a member of the Bloodshed Tavern. If he was challenged in the tavern, he could obtain five times the attribute bonus!
He had provoked Lin Bei previously to deliberately anger the other party so that he could obtain an attribute bonus and fight him!
“This way, I’ll have five times the attribute bonus! Coupled with the golden set, it’ll be difficult for you to break through my defense!”
Cao Fei Apollo sneered in his heart. “But to me, that’s different. Even if your attributes increase, I have the World Destruction talent bonus. My attacks ignore defense. You definitely won’t be able to withstand it!”
He looked impulsive, but he was not stupid at all.
During the battle in the Holy Light Village, he had a deep understanding of how terrifying this man in front of him was.
Be it positioning or timing, the man was top-notch!
Therefore, he had to be fully prepared!
Provoking him was just a step in the plan.
Now that his plan had succeeded and he had obtained the attribute bonus, as long as he followed the plan, the other party would definitely lose this round!
Haha! I’m really a f*cking genius!
“Everything is going according to my plan!”
“I have the advantage in this wave!”
Cao Fei Apollo grinned. The golden sword in his hand raised a whirlwind and swept towards Lin Bei!
“Too slow.”
Lin Bei pursed his lips. The whirlwind attack released by this huge sword was useless in his eyes. Other than being awesome, it was simply a waste of time.
Right now, his attributes in reality had already been strengthened to an inhuman realm.
His extreme reaction time was 0.05 seconds. He was at least twice as fast as Cao Fei Apollo!
Almost instantly, Lin Bei took a step back and dodged the whirlwind sword energy. He raised his hand and punched Cao Fei Apollo on the bridge of his nose.
“Damn, what kind of reaction speed is this? Damn…”
Cao Fei Apollo was shocked by the elusive Lin Bei. Before he could react, he had been punched in the face and fell to the ground.
You’re dead!
[Your Constitution attribute -50! Please choose a resurrection point or wait for help.]
“Damn, he killed me with a single punch? Damn it, even the Sector-Lord tier Boss I fought previously wasn’t so terrifying! What’s wrong with this kid? How long has it been and he’s already so fierce? Is he still human?!”
“Also, what kind of immortal reaction speed was that just now? Damn, can the Backward Step be used like this?”
“Also, also, why did my attributes drop by 50 points?! Isn’t death in a duel treated the same as a normal death in the wild? Logically speaking, I will only lose experience and not attributes, right?”
“And what’s going on with these surrounding NPCs? They look like they’re gloating. Don’t they know that I’m Lord Monka’s personal disciple? They actually dare to laugh at me? Damn!”
Cao Fei Apollo was dumbfounded. He felt like a clown, but he didn’t know why he was one.
“What happened?”
At this moment, a burly man strode into the tavern. He looked at Cao Fei Apollo, who had fallen to the ground and could not get up. Then, he looked at the untainted and calm Lin Bei and could not help but give him a thumbs up. “Impressive! As expected of you!”
With that, he walked to Cao Fei Apollo’s corpse and kicked him.
“Damn, are you so arrogant? I couldn’t tell!”
Monka kicked out and followed up with another kick. As he kicked, he cursed, “This is my f*cking brother. According to seniority, you have to call him Uncle-Master, understand? Little brat, you’re embarrassing me! I’ll kill you… I’ll beat you to death!”
Bang, bang, bang…
Cao Fei Apollo was beaten up like a sandbag. Only then did Monka feel relieved.
“Is there a Priest? Resurrect him.”
“Coming!”
A young man in a blood-colored robe jogged forward and cast a revival spell on Cao Fei Apollo’s corpse.
Holy light descended, and Cao Fei Apollo seemed to have been reborn.
However, his face was still swollen and he looked very miserable.
“Kid, it’s just a B-rank mission, and you’re already so arrogant? Come over, let me introduce you. This is Inner Peace, who is my brother and your uncle-master. He just completed 11 A-rank missions not long ago. As for B-rank missions, he accepted 36. Do you know the difference?”
Monka grabbed the back of Cao Fei Apollo’s neck and pulled him in front of Lin Bei. He frowned and said, “Quick, apologize to your uncle-master!”
“I… I’m sorry, Uncle-Master!”
Cao Fei Apollo wanted to cry.
What the hell was going on!
Everyone had the same starting point, so how did he hook up with Monka?
Moreover, how did he become an uncle-master for no reason?
He even completed 11 A-rank bounty missions?
Was he still human?
An A-rank bounty mission was to kill a King-tier Boss!
Damn it!
I stayed up all night and racked my brains to kill a Sector-Lord Boss!
You’re telling me that this person killed 11 King-tier monsters in a row?
Damn!
I should kill myself!
At this moment, Cao Fei Apollo had bitter expressions.
He could not help but recall what the other party had said to him before he attacked.
“I’m doing this for your own good. Don’t make the wrong decision.”
Previously, he was still thinking that this fellow was still pretentious before his death. How detestable!
But now, it seemed like the man was really thinking for him!
“Alright, it’s normal to be young and impetuous. Be careful in the future and don’t be rash.”
Lin Bei smiled and patted Cao Fei Apollo’s shoulder. He said earnestly, “I’m really doing this for your own good.”
“…”
Cao Fei Apollo: ε(┬┬_┬┬)3!
“Alright, don’t be sad. Come, I’ve brought you something good that has just been made. It’s specially used to consolidate the foundation and nurture the essence! It’s the Blood Strengthening Powder refined from 2,000-year-old Sunset Ores! Apply it on your body and it’ll work immediately!”
Monka took out a medicine bag and threw it to Cao Fei Apollo. He said, “Speaking of which, these Sunset Ores were obtained by your Uncle-Master after completing the bounty mission! Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had this chance! Hurry up and thank your Uncle-Master!”
“Thank you, Uncle-Master.”
Cao Fei Apollo lowered his head and said.
He gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter.
Damn, Uncle-Master my ass!
Ahhhh!!! I’m going crazy!!!
“Uh… well, you’re really welcome.”
Lin Bei’s expression froze. He looked at the Blood Strengthening Powder and said unnaturally.
Cao Fei Apollo did not speak. Under Lin Bei’s strange gaze, he smeared the yellow Blood Strengthening Powder on their bodies.
[You have used Blood Strengthening Powder! Attributes have recovered! Constitution +50!]
[The medicine has stimulated a portion of your potential! Your attributes have increased!]
——
Physical Strength +20!
Constitution +20!
Agility +20!
Magic Strength +20!
——
“Haha! Teacher Monka, do you still have Blood Strengthening Powder? Give me more!”
Hearing the system notification in his ear, Cao Fei Apollo was excited. His previous depression had long been swept away!
This Blood Strengthening Powder was too awesome!
After smearing it once, not only did he recover the attribute points that he had lost, but his other attributes had also increased by 20 points!
It was simply a divine medicine!
“What are you thinking about? It’s not bad to have one portion! These things are all sent to the front line for the injured I happened to have a portion. You’re lucky!”
Monka pursed his lips and frowned. “Alright, tell me, how is the effect?”
“The effect is too good!”
Cao Fei Apollo did not dare to hide it. He told Monka about the recovery and increase of his basic attributes.
“It’s indeed not bad! As expected of a medicine refined from 2,000-year-old Sunset Ores! The effect is outstanding!”
When Monka heard this, he nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, he looked at Lin Bei and thanked him. “It’s all thanks to you this time. Many soldiers at the front line are safe!”
“You’re welcome. I’m just doing whatever I can.”
Lin Bei quickly waved his hand and said politely.
However, the effect of the Blood Strengthening Powder did make his eyes light up.
He did not expect this Blood Strengthening Powder to be so powerful!
What was going on with Jian Yi?
He was just a King-level Ruins Guardian. What he pooped was actually so awesome?
It shouldn’t be, right?
There must be… something fishy going on!
Lin Bei thought about it and paid attention.
“By the way, didn’t he give me a mission to collect good wine? I’ll do it later and see if I can get some information from him!”
This matter was really strange.
He had to be more careful.
