Chapter 17

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Yanran felt that things had been a little too strange recently.

She wanted to quickly increase her strength and happened to find clues about the monarch-rank ferocious beast, the Dark Jade Wyrm.

She wanted to take the risk to hunt the Dark Jade Wyrm, but was ambushed by the enemy and her life was on the line.

She wanted to fight to the death, yet was saved by a man who claimed to be a farmer who committed the deed of “slaughtering a dragon.”

Besides,

as if because he saw that everyone did not believe him,

the man with a wild look repeated,

“Continue, continue. Pretend that a peasant like me doesn’t exist. I’ll leave right away.”

Butler Fu Tong frowned and comforted his trembling subordinates. He kept his eyes fixed on the strange person in front of him.

The four mysterious black-robed people also did not act rashly. They sized up this sudden disruptor with wariness.

Obviously,

they did not believe what this man said.

“He’s exhausted.”

“Let’s attack together and get rid of him first!”

After a moment of silence, a black-robed woman thought that she had seen through something and said fiercely.

“Don’t, don’t——”

That person’s expression turned serious.

Wang Yanran saw him take out a hoe from his backpack.

“Look!

“I’m really a farmer.

“This is the hoe I use to plow the land. Although it’s covered in gold paint, it’s actually harmless.”

However, this hoe was golden and looked extraordinary.

Wang Yanran even felt that this hoe was better than her own weapon.

Thud——

As the man standing on the wyrm’s corpse explained, a golden sickle fell to the ground.

The sickle’s appearance was extremely terrifying. The sharp blade emitted a cold light, and there were even terrifying skeletons (sheep bones) on the handle, intimidating people at the first glance.

The scene fell silent.

That person’s expression did not change. He coughed lightly and continued.

“This is the sickle I carry with me to cut weeds.

“As a farmer, it’s reasonable for me to carry a sickle, isn’t it!”

Clang!

Another round-bladed axe fell out of his backpack.

The axe landed on the wyrm’s head and as if there wasn’t any resistance, instantly cut off its strongest dragon horn.

“Um…

“As a farmer, I carry an axe…”

“You’ve been talking nonsense for so long. If you won’t take action, we’ll help you!”

Finally, one of the black-robed men could not take it anymore and pulled out a long sword from his waist.

With a slash in the air, a crescent-shaped sword Qi slashed towards the man on the dragon’s back.

“Crack—”

Black branches grew out of nowhere and blocked the sword Qi.

“Attack together, deal with him first, then deal with Wang Family’s people!”

When the leader of the black-robed men saw that a grudge had been formed between them, he waved his hand and a scepter appeared in his hand. He shouted loudly and commanded.

The other three people in black robes immediately activated their skills and rushed towards the wyrm’s corpse.

“Miss, let’s take this opportunity and escape now!”

When Butler Fu Tong saw this, he quickly protected Wang Yanran and turned around to escape to the Canaan Safe Zone.

“Why should we run? We should help him deal with the black-robed people!”

Wang Yanran was puzzled and wanted to instruct Fu Tong to stop.

However, since it concerned her safety, Butler Fu Tong chose not to obey.

“F*ck!

“I already said that I was just passing by. I don’t want to cause trouble. Don’t drag me into this!”

Whoosh!

A crisp sound was heard.

Under everyone’s shocked gazes, a dark green sword of light sliced through the four black-robed men as if it was cutting through a stream.

Everyone was speechless.

…

Unlucky!

Lin Sen spat again and wiped the non-existent bloodstains on the sword grass with the corner of his shirt.

After that.

he looked at the ten people who were in a daze.

He was hesitating if he should be straightforward and send away the witnesses who witnessed his murder.

After all, they had seen his face.

In this world,

combat professions had natural privileges, and “farmers” like him could not “offend” them.

Mm.

I just don’t know if directly killing someone was considered “offending”.

“You seem to be considering something dangerous.”

While he was in thought,

a pretty girl in black armor asked him with big blinking eyes.

Lin Sen said half-jokingly,

“I’m wondering if I should just silence you. Letting you go means exposing myself to certain organizations. I don’t want to be surrounded by a group of flies all day.”

It’s not easy to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

I still have a sister with a life profession, I’m not without weaknesses.

There were very few people here. As long as he made up his mind to silence them, no one would know what he had done.

“Young hero, no, benefactor, please don’t be rash!”

When Butler Fu Tong heard this, his face immediately turned pale and he hurriedly stopped him.

However, Wang Yanran seemed to be certain that Lin Sen would not kill her. She walked to the wyrm’s corpse and smiled brightly.

“I don’t believe you’re afraid of trouble.”

Lin Sen glanced at her and said,

“Just because I’m not afraid of trouble doesn’t mean the people around me aren’t.”

“You didn’t join any other factions?”

Wang Yanran’s face lit up as a bold idea appeared in her mind.

“Why don’t you join the Wang Corporation? Be my bodyguard and your remuneration will be that of a senior staff. I’ll give you 100 million Xia dollars a month!”

“100 million?”

Lin Sen was initially disinterested, but when he heard 100 million Xia dollars, his eyes lit up.

His sister worked herself to death each month, but only earned about 5,000 Xia dollars.

During festive seasons, part of her salary would even be deducted for taking leave.

This 100 million Xia dollars was equivalent to his sister’s salary for 1667 years!

They would be lifted out of poverty and placed straight into great wealth.

Honestly,

Lin Sen was tempted.

He was not moved by Wang Yanran, the girl. Instead, he was very tempted by 100 million Xia dollars.

Still…

“Forget it, I don’t have time to be a bodyguard…”

“Then you can be my master. The remuneration remains the same. Bring me into the Hundred Thousand Mountains to hunt once a week and for the rest of the time, you can just answer my questions online.”

Wang Yanran did not give Lin Sen a chance to decline and immediately pulled out her phone.

“Master, let’s add each other as friends!”

“Ah, this…”

Lin Sen scratched his head a little. After thinking for a moment, in order to put him and his sister on the road to prosperity, he nodded and agreed. He took out his phone and added Wang Yanran as a friend.

“Alright, I’ll take this job, but can you not call me Master? It’s mushy.”

“No problem, Master.”

“Master, can you give me some of this wyrm’s blood?”

Butler Fu Tong couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up.

With a monthly salary of 100 million, she took down a professional who’s combat strength was comparable to a Gold-grade professional.

This was a very good deal.

One had to know that

in the entire Canaan Safe Zone, there were only a few Gold-grade professionals.

One was simply priceless!

…

After tricking Wang Yanran into resting, Lin Sen finally had time to look at his harvest from slaying the wyrm.

Ding!

“Congratulations, Host. You have leveled up to Bronze VII!”

“Mythical-level creature, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, has leveled up to [Quasi Supreme] level!”
