Chapter 126: Li Cheng: I Am Just a Worker?
All the Profound Puppets were in position and the mission had been completed. The reward was not bad. 10 million gold coins and 50 million shadow points. Even he did not get a 10,000-times increase, it was still a big number.
However, to the current Li Cheng, neither gold coins nor shadow points were of any use. He really did not lack any of these.
The most precious thing was still the ability to recruit the Profound Puppets. However, Li Cheng did not immediately check their attributes. His gaze fell on the statue in front of the entire hall.
This statue was of a petite girl. She was not considered tall, but her figure was still extremely explosive. The parts that were supposed to be protruding were protruding and her soft hair reached her waist. Every detail of the girl’s face was also slightly perked up, almost as if the statue was a living person.
All of this was not a problem. The problem was that Li Cheng felt that the girl in front of him looked very familiar. He could not recall who she was, so he turned his head and asked, “Lillian, do you think she looks familiar?”
Lillian also stared at the statue for a while and said, “It’s Sister Ella.”
Li Cheng was speechless. What was going on? What did this have to do with Ella?
At this moment, a faint shadow appeared in front of Li Cheng. A mysterious fluctuation suddenly appeared as the shadow slowly took shape. A few seconds later, Ella stood in front of Li Cheng.
This time, Ella did not use a phantom, so Li Cheng could see her face clearly. With this comparison, the similarity between Ella and the statue was more than 99%.
Her graceful figure was wrapped in a tight-fitting long dress, but it could not hide her proud figure at all. Even in the Shadow World, there were only two colors, black and white. Her exquisite and beautiful face was also incomparably beautiful.
At this time, Ella smiled at Li Cheng beautifully. “Thank you for everything you’ve done…”
Her voice suddenly paused, as if she did not know what to call him.
As if he could read Ella’s mind, Li Cheng said, “You can call me Li Cheng.”
Anyway, he was not afraid that Ella would tell the other players. He asked, “So, can you tell me what’s going on now?”
Ella smiled. “Hehe, why don’t you guess who the last princess of the Profound Empire was? Who do you think she is?”
Li Cheng was really speechless. The last princess of the Profound Empire that Ella was talking about was not a joke, right?
Seeing Li Cheng’s expression, Ella became even happier. She smugly patted her own chest. “Human, you guessed it right. It’s me!”
Li Cheng’s mind was still a little muddled. What the f*ck was going on?
This silly Goddess in front of him, a piece of trash that was going to fall in a few years, was actually the princess of the Profound Empire? This was really unbelievable!
One had to know how domineering the Profound Empire was back then. Their existence was heaven-destroying, earth-destroying, and air-destroying. All kinds of dark technology were produced in an endless stream. Many Gods had to look to the Profound Empire as only they could do it. Hence, it was really awkward to regard this weak Goddess as the princess of the Profound Empire.
Ella could not imagine what Li Cheng was thinking. He could see that she was very happy now. She said slowly, “Anyway, you did well this time.
“I have an agreement with the Shadow Dragon. I can’t release powerful divine spells in the Shadow World and I can’t deploy any divine weapons. The cores of those Profound Puppets in the hands of a very powerful force…
“My followers in the mortal world are too weak and entering the Shadow World’s a suicide mission. Hence, after thousands of years, this place hasn’t been activated.
“Well, well, I’ve told you everything I can tell you. You don’t need to know what I shouldn’t say. In the future, I’ll give you a reward. You can leave now.”
After listening to her, Li Cheng roughly knew what was going on. These troops seemed to be Ella’s secret troops, but she could not send them to the Shadow World, so she could not activate these puppets. In his previous life, the Ella that had fallen had not activated the troops here either.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng now understood. It was no wonder he sensed someone following and peeping on him ever since he came to the Shadow World. Initially, he thought that it was because Trelafany was worried about him, but now, it seemed that it was because Ella was worried and had been following him in the dark.
That meant that he knew the contents of the mission from the beginning, but chose to watch from the side. In other words, she wanted Li Cheng to be her employee!
Disregarding everything else, the three Profound Puppets, which one of them was not located in a dragon’s den or a tiger’s den?
Moreover, each activation cost him 200 million crystals. Although Li Cheng did not lack crystals, he was just dismissed by someone with a sentence, saying that he could leave now? What did she mean by that?
Thinking of this, Li Cheng’s face instantly darkened. He had always been the only one who needed others to work for him. When had he ever worked for others? Now, his tone could not help but become cold.
“I say, Goddess Ella, you want to send me away with just one sentence?”
Seeing that Li Cheng seemed to be angry, Ella remained calm. She only smiled playfully. “Why? Do you still want to attack me?
“Don’t think that you can do whatever you want with Trelefany’s protection. You must always remember your identity. You’re only a human, and humans must always respect Gods!”
As soon as Ella finished speaking, she gently waved her slender arm. Suddenly, the ground of the entire armory trembled and countless cannons that were emitting dazzling light suddenly appeared protruding from the walls.
The pitch-black muzzles of the cannons were aimed at Li Cheng, ready to be fired at any time. At this moment, Lillian and the other heroes instantly prepared themselves for war!
Li Cheng did not panic. He looked at the muzzles of the cannon that came out of the wall and cast a scouting spell. The information appeared in front of him.
[Profound energy cannon]
[Description: the highest defense facility produced by the Imperial Army of the Profound Empire. It can be deployed inside the city walls. Its power is enormous, enough to destroy the world.]
[Level: 1]
[Attack: 20-300,000]
[Skills: ???]
…
It was actually a Legendary-grade defensive facility, and it was also a special defensive facility. Compared to Li Cheng’s Legendary-grade defensive towers, it was not the slightest bit inferior. Moreover, this place was densely packed and there were at least a few thousand of them.
Li Cheng took a deep breath. This kind of defensive power was indeed a little too strong. Of course, to him, it was not a big problem although it was a little troublesome.
Just as Li Cheng was about to take out the Dragon Soul, the voice of the armory’s AI suddenly rang in the hall…
