Chapter 55 - Is This World Sick?
Chapter 55: Is This World Sick?
Purple Rose took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down. Then, she stretched out her fair hand and said to Li Cheng, “Where’s my reward?”
“What reward?” Li Cheng was a little confused. Other than Pearl’s, all the other rewards had been distributed.
“Hmph, our Rose Guild has killed more than a hundred thousand monsters in total, which is ten times more than the Pearl. So, the number one spot belongs to our Rose Guild. Hurry up and give it to us!” Purple Rose explained proudly.
Hearing this, Cheng Li was speechless. He looked at Purple Rose as if she was an idiot.
‘F*ck all of them from the guild. Why don’t you go up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?’
“What’s with that look? Is there something wrong with what I said?” Seeing Li Cheng looking at her with such a look, Purple Rose was instantly unhappy.
“Hehe.” Li Cheng gave a perfunctory smile and ignored this woman whose brain had not fully evolved.
At that moment, a young girl wearing a simple mask walked over with her troops. It was Pearl.
Her troops were all injured and their health was not very high. It seemed that she had suffered a great loss after this battle. She had put in a lot of effort.
Pearl did not say anything. She just stared at Li Cheng as if she wanted to observe him.
“Tell me, what’s your choice?” Li Cheng did not beat around the bush and asked her immediately.
Pearl took a few deep breaths. It was obvious that she was not calm in her heart. In the end, she gave him her answer with much difficulty, “If you can do it, you have my word.”
Hearing this answer, Li Cheng smiled slightly. His number one employee was already in place.
In their previous communication, Li Cheng had already stated his conditions.
There was a price to be paid for wanting Li Cheng to help her get revenge. Pearl would completely become Li Cheng’s person. Of course, she could choose whatever capacity she wanted to be in.
Pearl started to hesitate when she heard his condition. To her, although Netherworld was very famous and powerful, could he really help her take revenge?
To her, this was undoubtedly a huge gamble!
If she gambled correctly, she would be able to take revenge successfully. If she gambled wrongly, she would be doomed.
In the end, after much consideration, she still agreed to Li Cheng’s conditions.
After Pearl agreed, the system notification rang in Li Cheng’s ear.
“Ding, dong, Pearl has requested to become your vassal lord. Do you agree?”
“I agree!” Li Cheng did not expect this woman to take action the moment she made her decision.
“Ding, dong, Pearl has become your vassal lord. This agreement is permanent and cannot be broken!
“Ding, dong! Alliance announcement. Player Pearl has become Netherworld’s vassal lord!”
After the agreement took effect, the system popped up with a vassal management interface.
[Vassal management]
[1. You can obtain the resources and troops of a vassal lord: 0%.]
[2. You can forcefully obtain the construction rights of a vassal lord’s territory.]
[3. You can forcefully obtain the troops of a vassal lord.]
A vassal lord was a very special mechanism in Tribe. There were very few players who signed it because it was no different from becoming someone else’s slave.
At this moment, Li Cheng could control all of Pearl’s resources and troops. Furthermore, Pearl could not resist his wishes.
However, Li Cheng did not care about Pearl’s little resources and troops. In Li Cheng’s eyes, they were pitifully weak.
The reason why he cared about Pearl was very simple—because she was an S-class talent. This also meant that the upper limit of their troop’s population was an additional 500%.
Li Cheng did not need the additional population and cannon fodder. He could just throw them into her territory. As his worker, it was the most suitable action.
After doing all this, Li Cheng threw her a relocation order and said, “Move your territory to mine as soon as possible.”
After saying that, Li Cheng gave her the coordinates of his territory.
“Okay.” After agreeing to become Li Cheng’s vassal lord, she naturally did not have any objections to this request.
“Resources. I’ll give them to you when your territory moves over,” Li Cheng said.
Pearl nodded and did not say anything. She turned around and left. She did not know if she had made the right decision.
…
When the alliance announcement rang, the players were dumbfounded. They did not know what had happened.
[F*ck, what’s going on?]
[Pearl has become Netherworld’s vassal lord? I saw the information on the official website. The treatment of a vassal lord’s no different from a slave!]
[Hmm, what did Netherworld boss do to Pearl? Pearl’s a well-known powerhouse after all. How could she agree to become his vassal lord?]
[Think about it. His Underworld represents darkness while Pearl represents light. Maybe they knew each other before and have a touching love story.]
[F*ck, the story above seems to make sense. I just don’t know what happened between them.]
[To be honest, I’m quite curious, too…]
Purple Rose, who was at the scene, was completely confused by what she had witnessed.
What was going on?
Netherworld only said one sentence, and Pearl agreed to become his vassal lord?
What was wrong with this world? Was it still the same world that she knew?
After all, as a female unspecialized expert of the Divine Dragon Alliance, Pearl had met her offline before. Purple Rose had sent her countless invitations and even agreed to let her become one of Rose Guild’s higher-ups.
However, this kind of invitation was unquestionably rejected by Pearl without a trace of hesitation.
Earlier just now, Li Cheng asked her a single question, and Pearl actually agreed to become his vassal lord?
This made Purple Rose suspect that she was dreaming. It was probably caused by insufficient nutrient supply.
Only now did Purple Tose confirm that she was not mistaken. Pearl had indeed become Netherworld’s vassal lord. This made her feel that the world was a sick place.
Li Cheng did not care what Purple Rose was thinking. After the matter was settled, he led his troops toward his goal.
Seeing that Li Cheng was about to leave, Purple Rose immediately called out to him, “Netherworld, wait!”
“What else do you want?” Li Cheng did not want to stay with this annoying demon any longer.
Purple Rose was speechless.
Seeing Li Cheng’s reaction, Purple Rose seriously doubted whether she was still attractive…or was this Netherworld uninterested in women and only interested in men?
However, she came to look for Li Cheng for official business. As the Guild leader of the three major guilds in the alliance, she knew when to do what she had to do.
