World of Experts

Shi Hao reacted quickly. He immediately understood that Shen Tu had regarded him as Shan Wanhong’s big brother. However, he didn’t think about the consequences of clarifying that he was not Shen Tu’s big brother. Therefore, he replied casually: “I’m not anyone’s Big Brother Shan. I’m just temporarily staying here for a night.”

“What!” Shen Tu was angry, angry just like the Wolffy of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. He yelled: “You shameless wastrel, if you have the ability, then come out, I want to fight you. Today, whoever concede is the grandson. F***! If I don’t lay you down today, then you will lay me down.”

“Huh?” Shi Hao was somewhat confused. He didn’t want to fight Shen Tu. He had two reasons. One, Shen Tu was his senior and he didn’t want to hit his senior. Two, he could see that Shen Tu was also a fighter and his level was also similar to his. And when two similar-leveled fighters fight, without weapons or skills with super critical-hit, it would basically be the situation where no one could deal the damage. Was that interesting? If that was interesting, then you might as well go back and plant sweet potato. It was a pure waste of time.

“What? Are you afraid? You good-for-nothing.” Shen Tu was imposing. He thought that Shi Hao was afraid of him. After all, he truly had great confidence in his own strength. He had been leveling up with a group. What group? It was a studio group that especially carried others to level up. Shen Tu’s level had always been among the forefront. Only in terms of level, Shen Tu was not inferior to Shi Hao. Therefore, he looked like he was not afraid of anyone. His appearance was similar to Wolffy who had caught the pleasant goat.

 “Hehe…” Shi Hao turned around and returned. In his view, continuing to mouth off with Shen Tu was meaningless. He still wanted to sleep. And Shen Tu could shout as much as he wanted. He would just change to a room that was far away from here. However, after Shi Hao had found a remote vacant room and slept, Shen Tu no longer continued to shout.

Why? Could it be that Shen Tu was beaten by someone just like Wolffy? Yes, he indeed was ‘beaten’ by someone…

Turning back the time to not long after Shi Hao had left. A robust man riding a warhorse passed by Shan Family Village’s main entrance. That robust man was overbearing and he looked down on all living creatures. Who was that robust man? He was Pan Feng who was taken care of by Shi Hao in the past.

“You! Stop.” Shen Tu who had just ‘bullied’ Shi Hao was not satisfied. At that time, he happed to see that robust man who was just passing-by. When Shen Tu saw this robust man, he immediately knew that that robust man was not a simple NPC. Just in time! Shen Tu still wanted to flex his ‘muscles’. After all, these guards would definitely report what they had seen to Village Chief Little Red in full detail.

“What do you want? I’ve been very unlucky lately. If you have something, then speak quickly. Otherwise, I’ll slay you.” Pan Feng said. This time, Pan Feng was especially going to Hibiscus County to recruit soldiers. Last time, he lost his men and warhorses to Shi Hao. And in order to retaliate against Shi Hao and Twin Dragons Village, he got permission from Divine and Mighty Alliance to recruit soldiers with great difficulties. He could go to Hibiscus County to recruit a group of elite troops. Moreover, Pan Feng knew the general terrain of even Twin Dragons Village. He also knew that Zhang Yang protects Twin Dragons Village. Therefore, after recruiting troops, he would formally apply to Divine and Mighty Alliance to challenge Twin Dragons Village. Pan Feng was very impatient about this matter.

“Slay me? Wait a minute! Let me read aloud a section of the actor’s lines first. I planted this tree; I opened this path. If you want to go from here, then pay the toll. Leave behind the warhorse, and you can leave.” Shen Tu looked very confident. This was absolutely brainless confidence. On the same level with similar quality equipment and skills, in a fight between a fighter and a knight, a fighter would be regarded as an expert for just not losing relying on the technique! Even if Shi Hao was standing opposite to Pan Feng, he could only last for a while relying on the defense and HP bluff of his skill ‘Soul of the Warrior’, and he would lose over time. After all, Soul of the Warrior was a large-scale bluff skill that boosted the stats by percentage. In this low-leveled situation, it couldn’t be compared to the direct effect of General Pan Feng skill.

“You are courting death!” Pan Feng was very angry. He directly activated his skill, General Pan Feng! He then swung down his blade with great strength. It looked very powerful. In fact, it was indeed powerful! With one slash, Shen Tu lost one-fourth of his HP.

Drops of sweat appeared on the forehead of Shen Tu. Damn it! He hadn’t expected this robust man to be so strong. His defense was insufficient. He also had a skill named Defense Armor which was very suitable for a fighter. This was a status skill. His level 2 Defense Armor consumed 5 MP to increase defense by 2 points for one minute. It was a pretty good skill. Even if an archer shot an iron arrow at him, he would just lose a bit of HP. In addition, he had a shield. Shen Tu held a sword with his right hand and a shield with his left hand. One should know that shields were particularly convenient to use for blocking, a lot more convenient than iron swords. Unfortunately, these were all useless.

In short, Shen Tu’s technique was not good enough, and his stats were also not enough. He also knew these things. Therefore, he was scared and fled like the Wolffy towards the Novice Village. Fortunately, Pan Feng was impatient to recruit soldiers and was too lazy to hunt down Shen Tu. Otherwise, Shen Tu’s ending wouldn’t be as simple as being ‘beaten’ up.

At the noon, it was time for Shi Hao to return to Twin Dragons Village.

Shan Wangong and Shan Yixiong accompanied Shi Hao to ten miles away from Shan Family Village. Shi Hao then said: “At present, Twin Dragons Village has extra goods and materials. You can buy them in Twin Dragons Village at the market price. However, be sure to remember, don’t be hasty to upgrade your village to a town. Upgrading to a town is not so simple.”

Shan Yixiong didn’t know the secrets of upgrading to a town. However, he had already sighed an agreement and also made up his mind to follow Shi Hao. Since Shi Hao said to not upgrade to a town, he wouldn’t upgrade to a town. As for Shan Wanhong, she didn’t care about these things.

Soon, Shi Hao returned to Twin Dragons Village.

In Twin Dragons Village’s Council Hall, Shi Hao recounted the information he obtained from the player of R Country. Wang Fu was shocked. Fa Zheng also deliberated for a long time.

Fa Zheng then said: “It’s fine for the time being! I believe that Brother Yuanqing and Village Chief Feng would surely be able to act according to circumstances and complete the mission. However, I’m afraid that there will be many variables in the future. These people had traveled a long way, from East Flower Region to West Flower Region. This, however, cost a lot of money. Without completing their task, they might not return. So, after they are revived, they are sure to secretly use underhanded methods against Twin Dragons Village. It’s easier to avoid open attacks, but harder to guard against hidden ones. We are in the light, and they are in the dark. This is troublesome!”

Perhaps, someone might ask, why don’t you just go to West Flower Region’s Novice Village and camp? This was a good suggestion. After they revived, they would indeed appear in the nearby West Flower Region’s Novice Village. However, it was a safe zone inside the Novice Village, and Novice Village was also not small. It takes a lot of manpower if you want to stake and hunt down those fellows outside. Moreover, those people who went to stake should have excellent combat power. After all, those people who came to destroy Twin Dragons Village were all elite players. Regular NPCs could enter Novice Village, but their strength was not enough. The historical NPCs were strong enough, but the number was insufficient, and they would be restricted by the system and basically impossible to enter the Novice Village. Therefore, Shi Hao had no way to stake and kill them.
