《World of Experts 》Chapter 175: More Disappointed
Advertisement
“Ah!” Suddenly, the sounds of screaming resounded. The bloody scene of those corpses scared many female players on the scene.
Most of the female players’ profession was a strategist. They hadn’t experienced things like fighting and killing much. As long as a strategist honestly did some administrative work in the village or became crafting-type players, they could get enough experience to level up. There was no need to go to the wild to kill monsters.
In addition, the girls already had a low tolerance for blood. They had never seen the death scene of so many regular NPCs.
Therefore, the screaming sounds became louder and louder.
Suddenly, amidst the screams of the female players, those few villagers who had escaped from the devil’s clutches of Wu Batian mournfully sang their mountain ballad…
“The wind and clouds rose, flying up dust, the heads are thrown all over the battlefield, the souls, however, safely returned to their hometown…”
The sound of the mountain ballad, somehow, gradually calmed down the screams of those female players. It also sobered up other people.
Perhaps, this matter was also just an amusing game for most people.
In this <<Kingdom>> game, only the regular NPCs had died. After all was said and done, it was not a historical NPC that had died, moreover, not their own NPCs. What was there to make a fuss about?
Soon…, unconsciously, everyone’s focus had changed.
Many people began to discuss the origin of these brave people who had sacrificed themselves. Their elusive ability didn’t belong to one, rather a group. Everyone here also had hung around on the forum, therefore, they also understood that these people must have gotten this skill from a certain special building.
That group was composed of just regular NPCs, not players. So, after death, there was no sign of the system pulling their souls and resurrecting them.
“Who is it? Who actually has such strange troops? Moreover, it shouldn’t be Twin Dragons Village. Although the function of the Twin Dragons Village’s special building is unclear, it’s definitely not this…”

“It seems, someone else on the scene must have done this…”
“Eh! I wonder which lucky fellow seized this chance to show off in front of Twin Dragons Village’s troops…”
At this moment, Su Wu walked out from the midst of Twin Dragons Village’s troops. Wouldn’t it be a waste if he didn’t appear in person and show off?
Su Wu alone walked to the front of everyone present.
His arrogance was self-evident. Unfortunately, his shadow guards were lacking several people.
In fact, the frontal combat power of those shadow guards was no different from those escaped villagers.
Those shadow guards had truly exchanged one life for one to accomplish this task.
In other words, a shadow guard’s life was exchanged for the life of a Tranquil Water Village’s villager.
However, Su Wu didn’t care about the loss of several shadow guards.
Not mentioning anything else, he had brought 30 shadow guards this time.
And other than those who had sacrificed their lives, there were still over 20 people left now! In addition, there were over a hundred reserve troops of shadow guards in Tusu Village. Calculating like this, there was nothing to worry about.
Honestly speaking, even if all those 30 shadow guards had died, Su Wu would have just sighed at the most. As far as he was concerned, the death of these shadow guards was worth it as long as they were able to show off their strength in front of Twin Dragons Village.
After all, for most of the people, the regular NPCs of <<Kingdom>> were just a string of codes.
People nurtured them just to be useful.
Su Wu was very proud in his heart, but showed a sad smile on the surface and said: “Everyone! You all are my Tusu Village’s good brothers, and even I, Su Family’s Martial God’s good brothers, you all… rest in peace…”
Su Wu even jumped off the horse, knelt down and knocked his head on the ground heavily a few times.

“Eh? This fellow…, isn’t he that bastard killed by ‘Wind God’ back then…”
“Alas! Don’t say anything to him, who is without any fault? Recognizing one’s mistakes and being able to reform oneself is the greatest virtue. Look, he walked out from among the troops of Twin Dragons Village…”
“Yes! It seems that his price to turn over a new leaf is also high, and indeed is solid, just a few trifling regular NPCs settled it… humph”
Such opinions were getting heavier and heavier.
Su Wu frowned and naturally was very annoyed inwardly. Although he had planned it himself, speaking out like this in front of him, wasn’t that equivalent to leaving him with no face?
However, Su Wu had also become a little wiser. Most of the people here were the hardcore fans of Blowing Wind Left A Scar. Confronting them was not good for Blowing Wind Left A Scar.
And he naturally shouldn’t do so.
Fortunately, just when Su Wu was thinking of what to do, Zhang Yang took action.
Zhang Yang stepped forward and patted Su Wu’s shoulders. Merely, at this moment, no one knew whether or not Zhang Yang understood Su Wu’s true intentions.
Zhang Yang then said: “Village Chief Su, I cannot express my gratitude for such a great kindness in words. But the people that died cannot come back to life, only sorrow will be left behind. I request Village Chief Su to enter the village first…”
Zhang Yang didn’t say the words like burying these brave martyrs. It was unrealistic. After anyone died, their corpses would be automatically removed by the system after a period of time. There was no such thing as a burial in the game.
Upon hearing Zhang Yang’s words, Su Wu choked in sobs: “Wu! Wu! Wu!” Then, he slowly followed Zhang Yang and openly walked into Tranquil Water Village.
At this moment, Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao, who had been silent for a long time, and even the other people of Twin Dragons Village shook their heads in unison.
Among them, even Su Xiao was not an exception. Su Xiao no longer knew how to put good words for her big brother now. If there was a choice, then Su Xiao would rather let Heroic Overlord Under Heaven participate in the concert. Even if Heroic Overlord Under Heaven was given a VV… VIP status, she would rather choose it.
In any case, it was much better than the death of NPCs…
Naturally, this didn’t mean NPCs must not be sacrificed.
However, sacrifices like this were just for self-interest, and it was wrong to sacrifice blindly when there was an obvious alternative way!
Yes, it wouldn’t be easy for Zhang Yang to agree to Heroic Overlord Under Heaven’s demand, after all, he had to consider the existence of Shake the Heaven.
But Shi Hao could have agreed to it. Once Shi Hao opened his mouth and promised to let Heroic Overlord Under Heaven join the concert, would Zhang Yang have insisted on opposing?
Of course not!
Under this situation, Shi Hao, Feng Tianhao and other people of Twin Dragons Village were not interested in going to the concert. Shi Hao exchanged a few polite remarks with Zhang Yang and left with his troops.
Zhang Yang understood it well that Twin Dragon village’s such response was reasonable. He didn’t stop them.
Honestly speaking, even Zhang Yang himself didn’t want to continue this concert.
Unfortunately, the concert tickets had already been sold. Many people had already paid for it and they still had the thoughts of going to the concert.
Therefore, Zhang Yang had to continue…

The Eternal Seeker Saga
In a universe where Earth is nothing but a distant memory, and humanity is clawing its way back from a million years long interstellar dark age, Sarah Ciel-étoilé is but a humble mercenary. For 60 years, her crew of exiles has followed her onboard their stolen military gunship, the Eternal Seeker. But now, a threat like they have never seen before is rising. The Dominion, an intergalactic empire over a millenia old, is dying. Its catastrophic civil war almost brought it to total collapse, and it endures only through the strength of its navy. But that strength is waning. Throughout the Dominion's Protectorate, whispers of a revolution are spreading, and insurrections are flaring up, as a conspiracy set on casting down the Dominion and burning it to the ground set its plan into motion. Yet, behind all the chaos and the destruction, something far more sinister brews in the shadows, and it could change the face of the universe forever. This is the story of Sarah, and her mercenaries, during these troubled and dark times, as empires fall...and others rise. ----- Chapters will be posted every sunday, mostly at 23h30 CET (22h30 UTC), although I will probably experiment with different release times.
