Chapter 747: Chapter 416: I Suspect You Have Candy in Your Mouth

The combat squad returned to Safe Zone 9 for rest and recovery after their expedition.

Previously, they had eliminated a number of powerful Terror Devils.

The strength of those Terror Devils was appalling, so much so that even the defensive firepower of the Safe Zone couldn’t resist.

Therefore, the officials organized an elite team specifically for killing.

Twenty players above LV10 ventured out of the safe zone to eliminate those high-risk Terror Devils ahead of time.

The powerful Terror Devil, the Blood River God’s Chosen, Xue Shen, was killed by the Holder and a powerful independent player.

If Xue Shen had attacked the Safe Zone, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This time, they killed several more powerful Terror Devils from the outside world.

The players naturally showered praise on the members of the killing team.

However, one player was not very fond of this atmosphere.

He was the independent player who tore off Xue Shen’s arm yesterday.

LV10 [Huang Tian Martial Tyrant · Money-Adding Layman]

At first glance, he looked like a burly man wearing a wide straw hat, a black furry coat, and metal armor.

In fact, he was a young man in his early twenties and still a college student.

Although he was an independent player, he actually had his own guild, but there were only two people in it.

The president was his lower-level player friend.

His strength was considerable and he was often invited to participate in guild battles, always securing victories for his teammates whenever he fought.

Of course, his fees weren’t small. He was a competent mercenary — the more he was paid, the more help he gave.

Even if his teammate from previous battle stood against him, he wouldn’t show any mercy.

The title of Money-Adding Layman was well-deserved.

He had a great reputation in guild battles, and many guilds naturally wanted to attract him.

But he rejected all of them. Once he had completed a guild task, he would immediately return to his own guild.

This was actually the reason he and his friend founded the guild: to quickly and effectively get rid of other guilds.

Some said he was cold-blooded, but he didn’t care at all. It was just a matter of making money. Who was there to talk about friendship?

If friendship was involved, things simply got complicated. Thoughts of avenging a friend were too far-fetched. Money was much more tangible.

This time, he was chosen as a member of the killing team, going out to hunt powerful Terror Devils.

"Layman, thanks just now. If it wasn’t for your punch that smashed that guy’s head, I probably would have been done for," said a player next to him in scale armor, smiling. "I owe you one."

At ordinary times, the Money-Adding Layman would probably say, "Just add more money."

But now, he didn’t really want to show his ruthless side. Looking at the girl walking ahead, he replied, "It’s all thanks to the Holder. It was her sword that swept away the enemy’s axe, thereby giving me the opportunity to approach."

Unfortunately, the girl did not turn back and was still whispering something to a shorter official female player.

The Money-Adding Layman felt a little regretful.

"Don’t be modest, you’re not an official member, yet. Being able to keep up with the attack rhythm of the Holder is already very impressive," Scale Armor player said. "But, the Holder is indeed very strong. The Xue Shen you guys killed yesterday was the Blood River God’s Chosen of the Great Tang. If Yang Dong from the Great Wall hadn’t been there, no one in the Great Tang could have killed him at that time. Such an expert was killed by your cooperation, and you didn’t even get seriously injured. You should be proud."

"Xue Shen, huh? If it were a one-on-one duel, it would probably be a little challenging, "as the Money-Adding Layman spoke, he recalled the attractive face and the gorgeous Demon Armor he had seen when he was working with the Holder the previous day.

Unfortunately, now she was hiding her face, even a glance at it was hard to get.

He steadied his mind and said, "Only if one can single-handedly defeat such an expert, then that would be enough to be proud of."

"Well said," the player in Scale Armor chuckled. "Anyway, I remember this favor. If we survive, our guild will definitely hire you at a high price to participate in the guild battle."

"No thank you. If I survive this time, I plan to join the official team," the Money-Adding Layman laughingly replied.

"Oh~~ That’s also okay." The player in Scale Armor patted the Money-Adding Layman’s shoulder and whispered grinning, "Do you have your eye on..."

Just then, the girl in front turned her head suddenly. The Money-Adding Layman was startled and, reflexively, he covered the mouth of the Scale Armor player. But saw that the girl had instantly run past them towards the exit.

The Money-Adding Layman breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn’t know why he was so nervous.

"Are you the Money-Adding Layman?" said the short official player, who had also headed for the exit, in a low voice as she passed by: "You’d better not think too much. And don’t have any unnecessary thoughts."

"Am I not good enough?" the Money-Adding Layman paused and asked, "Or is there another reason? Officials can fall in love freely, can’t they?"

"Exactly, exactly." The player in Scale Armor chimed in. He had figured out the Money-Adding Layman’s feelings long ago and was backing him up: "With the current situation, you officials should know it better than we do. The existence of the Evolution Game has been exposed after all. The existence of the players cannot be hidden anymore and there will be more players rushing in. The situation will become more complicated. What’s the harm if a Champion-Level player is added to the Holder’s side?"

"Hah, are we talking about falling in love or finding a bodyguard?"

Chen Yu waved his hand and didn’t bother to explain anything.

He thought to himself, don’t complain that I didn’t warn you when you’re beaten up by someone.

...

After some time on the move, Li Changhe and his team finally arrived outside Safe Zone 9.

The place was full of blood and gore. A large number of Terror Devils had assaulted the Safe Zone’s entrance and had been torn to pieces by the defensive devices on the outside.

When Li Changhe and his team arrived, the exit was under recovery.

Removal of Terror Devils corpses piled at the entrance was necessary, otherwise it would obstruct the defensive system.

"It’s not about rushing, but about timing," quipped the Ghost Face player.

Indeed. If a Terror Devil attacked the Safe Zone, Li Changhe and the others would be unable to enter.

"Is my daughter here?" asked Xiao Mo, who was about to see his daughter and breathed a sigh of relief. Worried about the safety of Xiao Nan, he did not tell Xiao Mo that Xiao Nan was a member of the killing team.

"Yes, we’ll be able to have dinner as a family soon," Li Changhe said with a smile.

To conserve physical strength for the journey, he removed the Mountain Pattern Armor and switched to a magic gown.

With his hood on, his face was hidden, giving him a mysterious and elegant appearance.

"Hmm... huh? Since when did you become part of my family?" Xiao Mo huffed.

"Hey, being a tsundere again!" Yun Ting, his sister-in-law, teased.

The team moved towards the entrance of the Safe Zone. Gu Qing raised her hand and greeted the guard.

They entered the Safe Zone.

Looking at the tall figure waiting at the entrance, Li Changhe smiled. Even though her face was obscured by the black fog produced by the hood of her Great Wall Windbreaker, he recognized her in an instant.

He left the team, rushed forward and hugged her tightly.

"I’m still wearing my hood, you’re not afraid you might have made a mistake?" The girl hugged his waist tightly, leaning in, she whispered: "I suspect you have a green apple candy in your mouth. I need to check!"

The look on Xiao Mo’s face behind Li Changhe twitched. That sentence sounded very familiar....

His wife used to say that to him too.

But back then... it was malt candy....
