Chapter 337 Chapter 335·"Despicable person, you are so despicable"

Sherrod stood at the door. His armor was covered with a golden light. He looked like he had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Captain. It's six o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time for the second cleaning mission." Sheldon looked at Su Mingan: "You haven't had dinner yet. There is a good barbecue restaurant recently, and I would like to invite you to go with me."

Su Mingan was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you go there?"

He almost thought that there was an error in his memory of returning the file. He remembered that he had clearly eaten it...

“No, it’s not the one last time.” Sherrod’s smile was still bright: “Because I just came back from outside, I really miss the food in Praia. Going alone is too conspicuous, so I can only invite you to go with me...”

Su Mingan thought that it would be okay for now, so he might as well improve his favorability, so he agreed to the invitation.

 He said goodbye to the old lady, took her photo, and left the bungalow.

 …

　　【Obtained a C-level temporary task: sending photos. 】

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　tleGard's family portrait to be delivered to the Central Soul Hunting Department and Soul Hunting leader Elras. 】

  【Task reward: Ellas's favorability +10, 30 points. 】

 …

 The sound of a woman coughing could be heard faintly from behind the door.

 Although the old lady did not say it clearly during the conversation, Su Mingan could tell that her daughter Jiajia was suffering from a terminal illness. Otherwise, the old man would not be allowed to go to Yunzhong City alone to look for the so-called medicine.

Now the letter from Yun Shangcheng has been passed down, saying there is no need to wait, which means...

Su Mingan looked back again.

In the bungalow that stood by the river, the clothes drying rack at the door was empty, and the cloths used to dry salted fish were also put away.

The river water shone with sparkling golden luster. On the quiet street, the bungalow was as quiet as sleeping in the sunset.

"Xie Lude." Su Mingan said to the Bright Knight on the side: "Did that family not receive the sacrifice subsidy?"

Xie Lude was slightly startled.

“Her son was a sacrificed soul hunter, so he should have received financial assistance. Why is his life so difficult?” Su Mingan said.

"Actually." Xie Lude paused: "Her family has already received the subsidy, but the form of payment is somewhat special..."

 “Why is it special?”

Su Mingan asked.

  “…” Sherrod was silent for a moment.

He didn't seem to want to answer this question, but he was limited by chivalry and didn't want to lie.

 After a moment of hesitation, he abruptly changed the subject.

“Captain, let’s talk about the barbecue restaurant later…”

It seems that Sherrod doesn’t want to say anything anymore.

Su Mingan walked across the street. There was a piece of reclaimed farmland near the East District, where many farmers were working.

 He heard the residents whispering:

“…Have you heard that martial law is under martial law in the South District?”

“It is said that a group of soul hunters did not obey the instructions and went to attack the soul tribe without authorization, and they all died..."

“It’s really a crime... There are not many soul hunters, why are there still people who don’t listen to the instructions? What should I do if this happens..."

“I heard that a soul hunter who was lucky enough to escape sent news that there was a new ruler of the soul tribe over there, named ‘Bai Sha’, with three heads and six arms, and he could eat thirty people in one meal...”

 It seems that the news of the new leader of the Soul Clan has been spread.

It's just that Sevia blocked the news well, no one told his real name, and the news was even a bit outrageous.

Su Mingan entered the barbecue restaurant.

Sitting in the steaming barbecue restaurant, Su Mingan finally understood what Sherrod meant when he said, "It's too conspicuous to go alone."

 The girls here are more enthusiastic and proactive than the last. Just sitting here for a while, he was harassed by four or five girls who came up to say hello.

If Sherrod came alone as a light knight, he would probably be harassed all over. After all, knights are a more popular profession than soul hunters. Due to Xie Lude's character requirements, he couldn't go too far and could only refuse softly.

Su Ming'an couldn't bear the harassment, so he sent a message to call Lin Yin and Lu Shu who were wandering nearby. With Lin Yin as a shield, fewer people came to say hello.

 After that, he and Sherrod went to patrol Thirteenth Street, and sure enough, no Soul Clan was found.

 …There is no flavor of the Soul Clan at all, where did the Soul Clan come from.

 The intelligence on the Soul Hunter side was really poor, and it was a waste of his entire night.

 “Then I’ll go back first.” Su Mingan said.

 “Have a sweet dream,” Sherrod said.

 …

Su Mingan walked all the way through the night and opened the door.

As he walked towards the bed, he heard a gust of wind, and something seemed to be rushing toward him.

 …Is there anyone?

Just as he was about to respond, his body was already close to the bed. In an instant, the view in front of him changed drastically.

　　【You are the great demon king guarding the castle, please fight to the death with the brave men who will come to challenge you later! 】

 …

 He frowned slightly.

 Obviously, someone was lurking in his room, preparing to attack in secret.

 But before he could see the opponent clearly, the night level began. It is estimated that the other party is also looking at the empty bed in confusion now.

 …Now we can only wait until today’s level is over before going back.

He walked out of the church and opened the door. The guards on both sides bowed to him. The system voice continued to ring in his ears:

　　【However, as a fledgling new Demon King, your resources and strength are limited. 】

　　【Currently, you have one hundred battle resources and one hundred and forty-six soldiers who are willing to follow you. 】

Hundreds of white lights flashed.

More than a hundred puppets appeared in front of him. The white light was like a torrent, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

 The Despicable One stands at the front, followed by the Golden Rose and the Black Lover. The sand table floated in front of Su Mingan, and the game interface unfolded in an instant.

The task of this level is to expand the Demon King's City to the third level.

He took a look at the sales price on the store interface. Direct expansion to the third level display requires 8,000 resource points.

  He only got 2,600 points in the second level last night. He even spent 1,500 points to get rid of Sevia.

He carefully observed on the sand table, clicking left and right, and constantly sending out soldiers, and finally found the breaking point.

 In addition to the plains representing the war and the cities on the rear, the surrounding overseas areas have also been opened. He tried sending scoundrels to visit overseas areas, but was frightened by the sudden harvest.

  【Despicable people go to mining areas to mine and return with a full load. 】

  【Task evaluation: great success! 】

  【Get 1000 battle resource points. 】

 …

ˆ It turns out that those overseas areas are mining areas.

 You despicable person, can you even do mining?

Su Mingan immediately asked other soldiers to complete those tasks, and then continued to send despicable people to those overseas strongholds to mine. Two hours before eight o'clock in the morning, Su Mingan already had more than 8,000 resource points.

 But at this moment, a piece of news suddenly popped up.

　　【Emergency mission: A natural disaster has occurred! 】

　　【Natural disaster struck, the battlefield was reduced, the army suffered heavy casualties, and it failed to generate enough sin points. Lord Demon King, please spend resource points as soon as possible to repair these disasters! Otherwise, it will directly lead to mass death of soldiers! 】

  【Need to spend resource points: 8000 points. 】

 …

Su Mingan looked at his resource points and knew that if he really wanted to deal with this natural disaster, his level mission would inevitably fail. Two hours was not enough for him to get another 8,000 resource points.

 Just when he was in trouble, the despicable man came back from completing his mission.

 A piece of news bounced in front of the despicable person:

【big boss. Please send me to deal with natural disasters. 】The despicable person said.

  Immediately afterwards, a system prompt popped up, asking Su Mingan if he chose to send despicable people to deal with this natural disaster.

　Su Mingan chose “Yes”.

 In the next moment, the figure of the despicable person disappeared, and the natural disaster subsided immediately.

 …The despicable, the Almighty.

Su Mingan immediately expanded the Demon King's City. As a white light rose from the church, the size of the Demon King's City expanded again.

  【The Demon King's City has been expanded to the third level. 】

　　【Complete the third level mission and obtain 2000 resource points. 】

　　【The level mission has been completed and the third level has been cleared. Do I need to exit the instance? If you choose not to exit, you will automatically exit the instance after one hour and fifty-eight minutes (8:00 a.m. Praia time). 】

 …

Su Mingan chose No and continued to place the hang-up at the door of the church.

 Resource points are steadily increasing, everything looks good, even natural disasters have been repaired...

He stared at the triangle on the sand table that represented the despicable ones. The despicable ones seemed to be on the edge of the battlefield, not knowing what they were doing. This guy's task of dealing with natural disasters seems to take a long time. He has been waiting for almost two hours...

 Suddenly, a system prompt popped up.

  【The despicable people in the Kingdom of Heaven were influenced by the local army, and their loyalty plummeted. 】

　　【The despicable ones in the Kingdom of Heaven refuse to return to the Demon King's Castle. 】

　　【The Despicable Ones from the Kingdom of Heaven have decided to leave the Demon King's City, and you have lost your heir, the Despicable Ones from the Kingdom of Heaven. 】

　　【Dear Lord Demon King, you can designate the next soldier as your successor! 】

 …

Immediately afterwards, Su Mingan saw that the triangle that originally represented the despicable person on the sand table suddenly disappeared. No matter how hard he searched, he could no longer control the despicable person's actions.

 A row of soldiers' names were lined up in front of him, seemingly waiting for his selection to become the next successor.

　　…Why is there such a thing as betrayal?

Su Mingan’s eyelids twitched suddenly.
