Chapter 21 The Feast at Hongmen
After instructing the vagrants to pass on the message, Roy and the elven girl did not linger and headed home.
On the way back, the elven girl couldn't contain her curiosity any longer, asking, "What did you do to them?"
Roy said calmly, "It's nothing. When I first came to Orario, I ate a bowl of jelly, but they insisted that I ate two bowls. So I had to gouge out their eyes and swallow them to show them whether I ate one bowl or two."
"..." The elven girl understood; this was a story of a bandit encountering a bully.
The homeless men, who had been severely punished by Roy, were left with deep psychological trauma and dared not fool Roy at all, let alone expect to be paid.
These vagrants, like the adventurers of the Dark Faction, are at the very bottom of Orario, usually hiding in dark corners and making a living by swindling people.
There are naturally ways to find the Rudra family.
The news quickly reached the ears of Rudra, the chief god.
He was a man with Indian features and clothing, exuding a faint divine aura that made people know he was a deity, and that the goddess Astraea, who was in charge of justice, had invited him to meet.
Rudra laughed so hard he slapped the table.
As a deity from the East, he had many followers from India who were familiar with the history of a neighboring great power. The clan leader was one of them. The middle-aged man looked wary and said, "Xiang Yu should have asked Liu Bang for help!"
Many members of the clan spoke up to dissuade them, suspecting it was a trap to lure them out and then use the bounty to capture them all!
In fact, when Ryu made the "war game" declaration, he suddenly encountered such a fun thing, and the chief god Rudra wanted to agree to it immediately.
It was only through the strong opposition of the members of the Familia that they were barely stopped. The Ganesha Familia, which had an excellent relationship with the Astrea Familia, kept a close eye on them.
Can the other party simply not participate?
They took down the S-rank Ganesha clan.
This time, however, Lou Tuoluo was determined and asked in return, "What did Liu Bang do after that?"
"You've become emperor..." The clan leader paused, then said uncertainly, "Shall we go to the banquet?"
Orario, Daedalus Road.
This is a complex area where impoverished urban residents congregate. The terrain is like a maze, and it is said that once you accidentally enter, you will never be able to get out.
Inside a quiet, unassuming tavern.
Rudra entered with two guards and immediately spotted the goddess Astrea, who was cloaked and concealing her identity, and behind her, a small, elven girl with a tense face, filled with hatred and murderous intent.
Ryu clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, and he didn't react at all when blood dripped down. That was the culprit, the chief god who established the Rudraksha clan!
Rudra stared at the elven girl with great interest. "If you can maintain this expression, I'd be happy to let you join my kin."
Liu's face contorted in pain, and she almost drew her sword.
"cough!"
The goddess Astraea's expression was unfriendly.
Rudra's attention returned to the goddess Astraea, and he was astonished, laughing, "I never thought I would meet the goddess who governs justice."
As a cruel and ruthless evil god in Hindu mythology, Rudra is naturally opposed to justice.
"Lord Rudra, enough with the nonsense. Let's play the war game and settle this matter!" Astraea didn't give him a friendly look.
"I have no objection."
Lou Tuoluo chuckled, "Since you've come, it means you've already decided to engage in the war game."
"So the rules of the war game are..." Astraea's lips moved slightly, her barely audible voice reaching the ears of Rudra and the others.
Everyone in the tavern suddenly widened their eyes.
Rudrak's body trembled slightly, and his eyes shone with an unprecedented light, filled with excitement and fervor.
……
Liu protected the goddess Astraea as she met with the god Rudra, while Roy hurried off to run a dungeon alone.
Every second must be used as nourishment for growth in preparation for the upcoming war game.
Copy: Highschool of the Dead
Difficulty: LV.1~LV.2
Introduction: Over 90% of humanity worldwide has turned into zombies, plunging the world into chaos and disorder.
Main task: For every ten zombies killed, you will gain 1 attribute point. When the number of zombies killed reaches 1,000, a special reward will be triggered - a potion chest (containing at least one high-level potion).
Bonus mission: Save the world...
Since he didn't bring any LV.4 henchmen, Roy obediently returned to the dungeons he could manage.
However, when Roy saw the dungeon reward, he almost thought he was seeing things. What the hell was this? 1 attribute point? Is this some kind of beggar's treat?!
He quickly realized that it was because he had become stronger!
As his strength increases, the rewards for different dungeons will also change.
The zombies in this instance are at most on par with goblins. With his current abilities, clearing it isn't too difficult, so naturally, the rewards won't be high.
When you first receive the blessing, the reward should be 1 attribute point for every zombie you kill.
Roy didn't complain. If he was willing to risk his life, there were dungeons with high rewards.
[Fate/Zero Dungeon: Hunt down Matou Ryouken, reward 4000 attribute points, Silver Treasure Chest.]
[Naruto Dungeon: Hunt down Orochimaru, reward 10000 attribute points, Golden Treasure Chest.]
……
Roy was too tempted to enter any of these dungeon worlds because the rewards were too good to be true; the chances of getting killed were too high.
Island nation, Tokoname City.
When Roy opened his eyes, he found himself on a rooftop, standing high above a classic island landscape. The weather was fine and sunny, comfortable and pleasant, but the situation below was not so harmonious.
The streets were filled with zombies that looked like the walking dead, with dry skin and lifeless eyes.
A quick glance reveals at least a hundred of them.
Roy frowned. All his fear stemmed from insufficient firepower. If he had heavy weapons, he was confident he could kill through ten thousand zombies, let alone a thousand!
But before that...
Roy walked down cautiously. The zombies in this world are attracted by sound, and with his SS-level agility, walking silently was too easy for him.
Upon entering the convenience store at the intersection, Roy found the employees had long since turned into zombies, and he experienced a zero-dollar purchase.
Roy opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of chilled soda, and suppressed his excitement, holding it in his hands as if he were holding the most precious thing in the world.
Fifteen years! Life without sugary drinks! Do you know how he spent those fifteen years?
Roy opened the can, and the bubbles and familiar, light fragrance made him jump. He couldn't resist and took a big gulp.
The soda slid down his throat, the stimulating sensation shooting straight to the top of his head, and Roy almost cried out in ecstasy.
After a moment, the feeling disappeared.
Roy looked reluctant to part with it. After taking the second sip, he threw away the sugary drink that was like a chicken bone in the water – tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.
A bottle of soda costs 2.5 yuan. The first sip is worth 2 yuan, the second sip is worth 48 cents, and the rest is worthless!
