Chapter 924: Chapter 580: Pulling the Strong

At this moment, Li Changhe was flanked by men. All around him were the members of three teams that had gathered, and Brother Dong was also looking at him with ill intent.

In his heart, he was feeling utterly bitter. Just plain unlucky and pathetic.

His timing really could not have been worse.

After all, every time the Evolution Game had a major update, the official players would explore the new content as quickly as possible and inform other players on the [forum] to reduce the casualty rate among players.

And his visit to the training ground coincided with this update, leading him to be swept here directly.

Li Changhe’s heart was filled with complaints.

The official players from the three teams, on the other hand, were looking at the sullen-faced Li Changhe and the increasingly twisted smile of Brother Dong with confusion.

"Which group does this guy belong to? He looks a bit unfamiliar," asked a team leader. They hadn’t even considered the possibility that an outsider had infiltrated their ranks.

"A newcomer? After all, there have been quite a few new faces since the disaster fog. Quite a handsome lad... just a bit young," a teammate chimed in, "Chen Yu, do you know him?"

Chen Yu, who had just arrived, saw Li Changhe surrounded and Yang Dong, and couldn’t help but press his forehead, saying, "Yeah, I know him, he’s my... friend."

"Oh~ well, that’s great then," a colleague joked, "When there’s time, you really should introduce us."

Chen Yu glanced at the gossiping player and thought to himself that this was Xiao Nan’s prized pork belly, not for others to just reach out and grab.

...

Meanwhile, Yang Dong was cheerfully slinging an arm over Li Changhe’s shoulder.

And dragging him toward the vehicle, "Come on, get in the car, I’ve got something great to show you!"

"Brother Dong, no, please Brother Dong!" Li Changhe struggled as he was stuffed into the bus, yelling, "Calm down, Brother Dong, calm down!"

At his words, veins throbbed on Yang Dong’s forehead.

"You still dare to mention being calm?"

It was a sunny afternoon, and there he was, comfortably passing out on a sickbed.

However, as he faded in and out of consciousness, seven curses, seven for crying out loud, came crashing down on him!

It was sheer madness!

From then on, Yang Dong even dared not return to Great Wall, fearing that the sea monster summons might genuinely attract sea monsters to him.

During that time, he had accomplished several unimaginable feats in his missions.

For instance, in a certain confrontation task, those Different Race players stopped caring about their task progress just to mess with him.

Because he was listed on the Sea Clan’s high-level wanted order.

Or like in a certain story world, where the mermaid troops spread across the hills called out ’Yang Dong’ as they charged forth.

Because the high echelons of the Sea Clan had declared that whoever defeated Yang Dong would be made a king.

His missions were tragic enough, but everyday life was even more troublesome.

If he didn’t use a straw, he would choke on water; if he walked on a rainy day, he would step into puddles, and with a moment of inattention, he could drown in them.

All this trouble was caused by this damn brat in front of him.

That would have been bearable, since Yang Dong’s own Title Skill, Whale Bone Warrior, had also been upgraded because of it, perfectly turning the curses into a bolstering force.

The curses had made Yang Dong’s own combat strength even stronger.

But what came after was just too much.

Why the hell would you report my name in Great Tang, when everything was fine?

And those colleagues too, why push me into the spotlight?

Even calling me ’Brother Dong the Eternal God’...

The bitterness in Yang Dong’s heart was profound.

I’d never understood any Divinity, yet I was forcibly pushed onto the ’throne of godhood’.

Even my colleagues started referring to me as ’god,’ and sometimes they’d offer incense before drawing a lottery with me in mind.

So, amid the strange glances of the third team’s players, Yang Dong yanked Li Changhe into the car.

He whispered, "We don’t have time this round, consider yourself lucky stepping on dog shit, so I won’t beat you this time. But don’t think you’re off the hook, come help!"

Upon hearing he wouldn’t get a group beating, Li Changhe immediately felt at ease.

Help? Sure thing. As long as it isn’t me getting hit, that’s fine.

Then he also lowered his voice and said, "Brother Dong, you call the shots, we’re brothers. Just say the word, who are we targeting? If it’s Chen Guang, my help is free, and I’ll even invite some top fighters from the Battle Power Rankings to beat him up!"

"You have such a big grudge against Chen Guang?" Yang Dong was startled, "Chen Guang even claims to be your master."

"That bastard never stops calling me ’Dog Riding’ in front of me and the girl," Li Changhe said in a deep voice.

The codename ’Dog Riding’ was something Li Changhe despised intensely, berating both him and another person.

Just because I ride a Tingdaros Hound I should be called Dog Riding?

"By the way, Brother Dong, do you know who gave me that codename?" Li Changhe asked.

"Uh..." Yang Dong felt a bit guilty, as he had indeed been the one to give that name.

Back then, to get back at Li Changhe for cursing him with seven curses, he decisively coined that nickname for him.

After all, even though the Tingdaros Hound wasn’t human, Li Changhe really was dog-like!

"It was Chen Guang!" Yang Dong thought for a moment, decisively threw his teammate under the bus.

"I knew it, he’s the one who’s most enthusiastic about it! Time to settle new scores and old debts together!" Li Changhe stood up, ready to get off the car, "Just call me when you’re ready to beat up Chen Guang, and I’ll..."

"Get back here." Yang Dong raised his hand and pushed him back, "Go and do your work now. Chen Yu, you’re familiar with him, keep an eye on this guy. Don’t let him escape! Everyone else, get in the car immediately!"

Thus, Li Changhe who was drafted into service, was stuffed into a bus full of Great Wall players and quickly headed towards the Great Wall Base, a place he had never been to before.

Inside the bus, Chen Yu poked Li Changhe’s shoulder and whispered, "What’s going on with you? You’re lucky I warned you in advance, how come you didn’t run away? Just be clear, don’t sell me out."

"Misjudged it," Li Changhe clicked his tongue and whispered back, "Who would’ve expected a player with agility over 13 points to drag me back? I couldn’t exactly resist." He smacked his lips and asked, "By the way, what’s that guy’s name? I want to get to know him."

"Scram." Chen Yu fully adhered to the first rule of the employment guidelines at the Yanyun division.

Yun Ting, hiding inside Li Changhe’s body, noticed that their whispered conversation had ignited a variety of expressions among the official players around them.

Some wore faces of gossip-eager curiosity while others looked disappointed and sighed...

After some thought, Yun Ting decided not to remind the two of them. She was ready to enjoy some juicy drama, as she was always one to appreciate some chaos.

During the trip, Li Changhe also gathered from the talks between Chen Yu and his teammates what ’help’ meant.

Content updated a few minutes ago had already seen official players make attempts.

Especially the ’Special Challenge’ tasks, where the official divisions and headquarters had seen numerous teams trying it out. They also deduced some rules.

Among these challenges, the ’Extraordinary’ type was somewhat special.

Successful challengers could gain some kind of Extraordinary Cause and Effect. They even had a chance to obtain lost Extraordinary Inheritance.

Not only for new players was this a form of enhancement, but it also was for veterans.

Players who required Extraordinary enhancements would certainly try this challenge.

Currently, the officials were planning to send people to try the ’Extraordinary Special’ to study its cost-effectiveness and risks.

According to the information obtained, this challenge was related to a bizarre event that occurred in Yanyun over twenty years ago.

"An incident in Yanyun over twenty years ago..." Li Changhe patted the inkstone in his pocket and put away his smile, "Then... There’s no reason to refuse."

(I beg you, my dear readers, don’t recommend this book anymore, really, just stop. Let me finish this novel in peace.)
