Chapter 144 – Clear the dungeon, get top-tier rewards


In the goblin lair, it was cold and damp.

As soon as the bartender realized this, cold sweat instantly soaked his back, and he felt both shocked and afraid, regretting deeply.

He had thought that the most important opportunity in his life had come, but he didn’t expect that it had been exposed early on.

How hateful!

He shouldn’t have been greedy.

After passing through the door of the pigman king’s bedroom and entering this tunnel-like nest filled with spider webs, the bartender heard the task announced by the crazy maid in a matter of seconds.

The card he received was the Goblin Slayer. After accepting the task, his physical strength would increase slightly with each goblin he killed.

It could be said that the more he killed, the more he would improve. That was why the bartender actively went to kill even goblin infants and even urgently hoped that Lin Baici would attack the Goblin King.

However, the biggest reward for this hidden task was to kill the Goblin King and directly obtain the top-quality Divine Taboo, as well as clear the level.

Faced with this temptation, how could the bartender not be moved?

Moreover, the effects of these cards were similar to rock, paper, scissors, and they belonged to the rule system. In other words, even if the Goblin King faced someone holding other cards, such as a hero, a red dragon, a magician, a saint, a female knight, and so on, they would still have the power to fight.

If the person holding the card was a woman, no matter how strong they were, they would be suppressed by the Goblin King.

The only natural enemy of the Goblin King was the Goblin Slayer card.

After activating the Slayer card, the bartender obtained the information without any effort.

In fact, the bartender really wanted the Goblin King card because it was too powerful. Just thinking about making female players pregnant felt great.

In the rewards for the bartender’s task, it was explicitly stated that he must kill the Goblin King as soon as possible, otherwise, his rewards would be reduced for each person he killed.

Because of this task, the bartender understood that the Goblin King was a human, not a monster.

When the bartender saw Xia Hongyao take out a card and accidentally drop it, revealing a portrait of the Goblin King, he instantly became excited.

He never thought it was a trap because Xia Hongyao often came to the Dragon and Beauty Bar to drink, so he was familiar with her.

This girl had a big chest and strong combat power, but her intelligence was average. If it weren’t for her sister being Xia Hongmian, some divine hunters would have targeted her long ago.

The bartender felt confident in dealing with someone with a mediocre intelligence. Moreover, there was a natural suppression from the card. The problem was how to find an opportunity to kill Xia Hongyao.

“That’s right!”

Xia Hongyao proudly snorted, “We switched cards!”

She handed the card that was confiscated from the bartender to Lin Baici.

When the bartender heard Xia Hongyao admit it, his face stiffened, his mouth twitched, and he stared at her, “So you and I were in the same team because of Lin Baici’s deliberate arrangement?”

“Of course!”

Xia Hongyao laughed heartily, hands on her hips, “Isn’t my little Linzi amazing?”

“…”

The bartender closed his eyes and regretted even more.

Now that he thought about it, when he and Xia Hongyao were assigned to the same group, his happy little tongue was dancing, and he couldn’t wait to celebrate. But he didn’t know that it was a bait set by others.

“Oh my god, when you assigned yourself, Xia Hongyao, and the boss lady to the same group, I thought you were being selfish. It turns out it was to deceive the bartender?”

The old man was dumbfounded.

Lin Baici smiled slightly.

He didn’t answer, but everyone knew that the old man was right.

“When did you switch cards?”

The bartender couldn’t understand, “I didn’t see you two alone after entering this cave?”

“It was after killing the pigman king!”

Xia Hongyao felt extremely refreshed. It was like Sherlock Holmes deducing the murderer and starting to explain the criminal’s modus operandi.

This was the climax.

And this time, she was a participant, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

Ah!

Unfortunately, she couldn’t go online. She really wanted to quickly go to the group and show off.

“What?”

The old man was shocked, “So you asked Xia Hongyao out, not for a ‘lunch’?”

The old man thought that after experiencing a bloody massacre, Lin Baici wanted to vent, so if it were him, he would definitely take Xia Hongyao along.

“What does ‘lunch’ mean?”

Xia Hongyao didn’t understand.

“Captain, you were really prepared, weren’t you? Weren’t you afraid of any problems after switching cards?”

Lin Baici’s thoughts were meticulous, which shocked the dwarf.

“I’m afraid, but this card belongs to the monster category. I feel it’s dangerous to hold it in my hand!”

Lin Baici shrugged. It was the dwarf’s card that gave him a sense of crisis.

The dwarf held the ‘Chef’ card, which greatly increased his killing power against the pigman. Perhaps someone else was holding the natural enemy card of the Goblin King.

“Hehe, it seems that I’m destined to never become a dragon-level in this lifetime.”

The bartender smiled bitterly. If Lin Baici wasn’t cautious enough, he would have won.

No,

It should be said that he was just unlucky to have this card in Lin Baici’s hands.

“You’re not unjustly defeated!”The dwarf interjected, “In the level with the pig-headed people, the captain already guessed what kind of cards I had in my hand.”

“Ah?”

The woman in leather pants was stunned, and the old man and the bartender were also confused.

“Is it because you dealt heavy damage to the pig-headed people?”

The boss lady noticed this detail at the time, but she didn’t think about the cards. She simply thought that the dwarf was hiding his strength.

The bartender, the old man, and the woman in leather pants looked at each other.

Is that so?

Why didn’t I notice?

At this moment, they finally understood the huge gap between themselves and Lin Baici.

“So, you were acting in front of the king earlier, right?”

The bartender laughed at himself.

Although Lin Baici didn’t answer, he had already confirmed it.

He was just a manipulated monkey.

“You acted too abnormally, and you even burned the goblin’s body. I wouldn’t have noticed you if it weren’t for that!”

Lin Baici wasn’t interested in arguing with the bartender anymore. “Do you still have any doubts?”

If not, then I’ll send you on your way.

“If you had my card, what would you do?”

The bartender was curious.

He wanted to know what this powerful guy, Lin Baici, would do.

“With Linzi’s intelligence, he would probably find out who the Goblin King is in the level with the pig people,” Xia Hongyao was more confident in Lin Baici’s intelligence than in herself.

Lin Baici smiled slightly and didn’t answer.

Isn’t it troublesome to find a target?

If he got this card and took on this mission, he would find an opportunity to kill everyone.

Of course, this was based on his strength.

With the bartender’s level, he wouldn’t be able to do such a thing even if he wanted to.

“Xia Hongyao, if Lin Baici can exchange cards with you for his own safety now, then in the future, in order to survive, he will treat you as cannon fodder!”

The bartender knew that he couldn’t survive, so at the last moment, he tried to make things difficult for Lin Baici. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the high ponytail girl looking at him with a look of disdain.

“You don’t know how good my relationship with Lin Baici is, do you?”

Xia Hongyao rolled her eyes. “We were the ones who broke the Palm Port God’s Ruins. If it weren’t for Lin Baici saving me, I would have been done for!”

“What?”

Except for Nangong Shu, who already knew about this from Xia Hongyao’s mouth, the other three were shocked and looked at Lin Baici in disbelief.

The God’s Ruins were broken in less than six hours, and it was said that a dragon-level expert had made a move. Who would have thought it was Lin Baici?

He was actually this strong?

“Besides, Lin Baici told me about his plan beforehand and asked me to pay attention to you. How could I fail?”

Xia Hongyao’s words made the bartender both envious and jealous.

Why don’t I have such a loyal friend?

“Hongyao!”

In fact, Lin Baici had worried that Xia Hongyao might hold a grudge because of his plan, which would put her in danger.

“Oh, stop being so dramatic. What’s our relationship?”

Xia Hongyao truly regarded Lin Baici as a partner.

“Hehe, you will eventually be played to death by him!”

The bartender said and closed his eyes, waiting for death.

He didn’t beg for mercy.

Because he had long been tired of this dog’s life.

As a god hunter, he couldn’t explore the God’s Ruins because of his weak strength. Deep down, the bartender had a sense of self-disgust.

That’s why he didn’t hesitate to accept the task given by the maid when he heard about it.

If he couldn’t succeed, he would die a martyr.

“You don’t have to worry about that!”

Xia Hongyao wouldn’t fall for such a divisive tactic. “If Lin Baici can’t find a wife in the future and has no descendants, I can even help him have a son!”

“???”

Lin Baici was dumbfounded. Although he was touched by Xia Hongyao’s trust in him, what kind of metaphor was this?

Can’t you just not use it if you don’t know how?

“Hahaha!”

The boss lady burst into laughter.

“Aren’t you afraid that your boyfriend or husband will get angry if they find out?”

The woman in leather pants was shocked.

Although she didn’t attach much importance to matters between men and women, she wouldn’t do something as casual as giving birth to a child for a man.

“I’m not looking for a boyfriend!”

Xia Hongyao said matter-of-factly. “Dating and getting married are a waste of time. Several years can pass in the blink of an eye. I’ll give birth to a child for you first, so you can use it to please your mother, and then follow me to explore the God’s Ruins.”

Xia Hongyao thought this idea was good.

“Not…”

Lin Baici suddenly felt that Xia Hongyao’s suggestion made some sense, leaving him unsure of how to refute it.

Forget it, what’s the point of arguing with an intellectually disabled girl?

But if Xia Hongyao has a child, Lin Baici glanced at her Xiong Da, her child will definitely not go hungry.

“Squad leader, let’s get started quickly, so we don’t have too many dreams in the night!”

The leather pants girl reminded, with a respectful expression, “And my card is ‘Warrior’, I haven’t received any missions!”

By saying this, the leather pants girl basically revealed her biggest trump card to Lin Baici, making him the only one to be reckoned with.

The old man saw the leather pants girl reveal her card and sighed, saying, “Mine is the White Robe Mage!”

If he didn’t say it, it wouldn’t work!

Otherwise, Lin Baici would definitely be on guard.

It’s like playing a game of drawing ghost cards, where everyone shows their cards to Lin Baici directly, and there is no chance of winning.

“Mine is the Holy Maiden!”

Nangong Shu took out her card and showed it to Lin Baici.

Lin Baici glanced at the landlady, your card, when facing the Goblin King, is a dead end, no, it should be worse than death. Then, he looked at the bartender, who already had murderous intent, and he wouldn’t be merciful either.

“Good luck in the next round!”

After Lin Baici finished speaking, he raised his sword.

Swish!

The bartender’s head was chopped off.

Sizzle!

Blood sprayed from the neck.

Dong!

As the bartender’s body fell to the ground, Lin Baici heard the intentionally imitated voice of the crazy maid, which was the voice of a fantasy game NPC.

“Congratulations, you have killed the Goblin Assassin and completed the hidden mission.”

“You will possess the card ‘Goblin King’ for the rest of your life.”

“Using this card, you can summon a goblin army, consisting of one hundred goblins, including ten Goblin Warriors.”

“After the card’s effect is activated, you will have a soul pressure aura. This aura will affect all female creatures. When they face you, they will naturally fear, be afraid, and even develop a submissive mentality. The strength of the effect depends on the opponent’s mental willpower!”

“As the Goblin King, you have the responsibility of ‘proliferating the population’, so when the card is activated, you will gain the ability to ‘impregnate with one shot’.”

“…”

At first, Lin Baici was very happy to hear that he had completed the hidden mission, but the more he listened, the more confused he became.

The first effect of the card was fine, the second one was acceptable, but what the hell was the third one?

But goblins, in the settings of most works, are monsters with extremely high reproductive abilities.

With the bartender’s death, his card, as well as Lin Baici’s card, shattered, and then a card wrapped in golden light suddenly appeared above Lin Baici’s head and slowly descended.

The old man, the dwarf, and the leather pants girl were all envious.

Lin Baici caught the card, and the glowing light disappeared.

Xia Hongyao glanced at it and couldn’t help but laugh.

The picture on the card was a Goblin King with a crown on its head, but its face was exactly the same as Lin Baici’s.

“After this goblin changed its face, it became quite handsome!” Nangong Shu teased.

The crazy maid saw Lin Baici’s bewildered expression caused by the effect of the card on the TV and found it very amusing.

This is much more fun!

It seems that, without any surprises, he should be the winner of this board game.

After eating a potato chip, the crazy maid picked up the microphone next to her.

“Because you have completed the hidden mission and cleared the level ‘Goblin’s Nest’, you can choose to leave immediately and proceed to the next level, or you can kill the Goblin King.”

“Please make a decision within ten seconds!”

Lin Baici frowned. The maid didn’t mention whether there would be a reward for killing the Goblin King.

[Trash level, that king is not only difficult to kill, but the rewards are also lousy. Not worth the effort.]

“I choose to proceed to the next level!”

Lin Baici answered.

The crazy maid heard Lin Baici’s choice and pursed her lips. She thought this human would become arrogant and challenge the king, but she didn’t expect him to refuse.

Ah!

I really wanted to see the expression on his face after he struggled for a long time and finally killed the king, but didn’t get any drops.

“Shura Martial God”

What’s the point of teasing those trash?

Just play as a hero!

But since he made his choice, she could only follow through.

The maid pressed a button on the remote control.

Lin Baici and his group of six were teleported.

In a certain part of the nest, a goblin tribe was slaughtered by a group led by the sunglasses man.

They searched around and found nothing except for some people locked in cages.

“This won’t work, we must find the big boss as soon as possible.”

The sunglasses man was anxious.

They had already wiped out six goblin tribes and killed over a thousand monsters, but they had no harvest.

“Should we just leave?”

Someone suggested.Among the people they had rescued, a few knew how to leave the cave. The man with sunglasses had been leading them, prepared for any eventuality.

“If we don’t kill the BOSS, I’m afraid it’s useless to leave!”

Chen Fujian worried.

Generally speaking, such levels would have a final BOSS.

“I wonder what Lin Baici will do?”

The man with sunglasses worried, always feeling that the next moment, the voice of the maid would ring in his ears, telling everyone that Lin Baici had completed the task.

“Don’t waste time, let’s set off if we can’t find it!”

Chen Fujian urged.

“Maybe the others are also clueless, wandering around in this nest.”

A man hoped, but as soon as his words fell, the maid’s voice rang out, shattering his beautiful dream.

“Lin Baici has completed the hidden task, and his team has safely passed!”

“The level will end in five minutes, please each team, vote for one person, as the price of passing!”

“If you refuse to pay the price, then the whole team will be wiped out!”

The maid’s announcement was like a death warrant, instantly making everyone’s mood gloomy and irritable, and they became nervous because someone was going to die again.

“Damn it!”

The man with sunglasses swung his knife, hacking fiercely at the cave wall. It was like this again, too slow.

“Don’t waste time!”

Chen Fujian looked gloomy, staring at everyone, who should be chosen this time?

In the nest, the transgender regretted hearing the maid’s announcement.

Shouldn’t have saved money!

If they were in Lin Baici’s team, they could be at ease, unlike now, they had to struggle to survive.

“I’ll pay, don’t choose me.”

The transgender felt that it was better to give these meteor coins to Lin Baici than to buy safety.

After the teleportation ended, Lin Baici appeared in an open-air corridor.

On both sides of the corridor were towering walls, on which were depicted various fantastical creatures with charcoal.

These walls were tens of meters high, giving a great sense of oppression.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled, and rain began to fall from the sky.

Lin Baici looked around.

Xia Hongyao and the others were gone, it seemed they had been teleported separately.

Lin Baici ran to the end of the corridor and found a T-junction. He chose the right side, ran to the end again, and saw another fork in the road.

“A maze?”

Lin Baici frowned, his gaze falling on the murals.

The games created by the crazy maid all had clues to follow, not relying on luck, so the key to this level’s maze strategy should be on these murals.

Lin Baici began to observe the paintings on the wall.

Then he figured out some tricks.
