Chapter 351 – Celebration (2)
It was night, and the town was deserted. The night in the wilderness was cold. Even if the heat of the day could burn off a layer of your skin, at night, the cold would make your soul tremble. Extreme cold and extreme heat tested all the living beings on this planet. Humans, on the other hand, were clearly no better at adaptability than other living beings.
Especially in such a desolate town, let alone a magnetic energy s.h.i.+eld like the Yongye City's, they didn't even have a radiation purification system like the one he had. In this cruel era, poverty meant that one could only struggle on the brink of death.
However, the gas station's convenience store was brightly lit. The shelves that didn't have much goods on them were moved to the two sides, leaving a rickety table in the open s.p.a.ce. There was a simple electric stove on the table with steaming broth on it. There weren't many homes in town that could afford electricity, and the only old generator in town was already facing the dilemma of not having gas to power it.
Therefore, the townspeople were very cautious about electricity. Old Peter had a private generator, which was why he was able to fill all the lamps and use the electric stove in such a luxurious place.
The broth on the stove was already cooked, and old Pete brought out two bowls that were not too clean. He then served each of them a bowl of broth.
Jin drank the broth. In reality, this kind of thing wasn't delicious. Meat was taken from the body of the mutated lizard, and it could only be taken from the muscles of its hind legs. The meat of the lizard was somewhat bitter, and because it contained a trace of Su poison, when one drank the meat soup, their tongue would become numb.
However, Jin still drank all the broth in one bowl, for no other reason than that this broth was a rare delicacy in his childhood.
“I heard that you have already become a capable person? “It's really amazing, Xiao Jin. You used to be such a crying slug.” Old Pete took a sip of the broth and gestured with his hand.
Jin wiped his nose with his finger and said, “It's not as simple as being an esper. Right now, I'm an Earth Conqueror.”
“Conquer what? “Earth?” The Old Pete gave a drop of gooseb.u.mps to Jin One, saying: “What are you blabbering about, you still want to conquer the earth, you little rascal who hasn't grown all your hair yet.”
Jin smiled bitterly at the old man and didn't bother to explain to him that the Terra Conqueror was a high level profession proficient in the Earth Element in the MetSu Region. As long as he was willing to, as long as he controlled the power of earth, a “sandstorm” or “earthquake of the earth's crust” would make this small town history.
He was no longer the same Gold as two years ago. However, this town was still a small one, and Old Pete was still a Old Pete. Thus, Jin chuckled foolishly and went back to being that silly kid from two years ago who didn't know anything.
“By the way, Pete, what happened to my mother?” King asked suddenly.
Old Pete rolled up the last drop of meat juice in his bowl with his tongue into his mouth before saying, “Your mother, Freya, has already left with someone. Not long after you left, you left with a adventurer who pa.s.sed by the town. ”
“She'll make a good living.” King lowered his head.
Old Pete shrugged his shoulders and said, “Who knows? I heard that there are quite a few women in the adventurer. I don't know about his life, but your mother probably won't die of hunger if she follows him. ”
“Is that so? That's good.” Jin lowered his head, not wanting to let Old Pete see the liquid rolling in his eyes.
When it was about nine o'clock, Old Pete tidied up his things and asked Jin, “Are you planning to stay?”
“No, just for a day or two.”
The Old Pete nodded and said, “That's right. This kind of small town can't keep an important figure like you anymore. It's getting late, go to sleep. The storage room is still empty. I'll send you a blanket later. ”
Actually, with his power, he would be fine even if he laid on the ground naked, but he was still grateful to the Old Pete for his concern.
The warehouse was at the back of the convenience store. It was a small room about ten square meters. Jean remembered that it used to be filled with old food and water, but now it was much emptier, and he didn't know if they were sold or unedible and thrown away. But here, King had a special feeling. Every time he was beaten up by his mother, he would run over to Old Pete's warehouse.
This was his little refuge.
King found a clean corner and lay down on the ground. Not long after, the Old Pete came over. He threw a patched blanket and a pillow to Jin. King knew it was the Old Man's only pillow, so he pushed it away, but the old man shoved it into his arms with a stinking face.
When the old man left, King felt warm inside.
At this time, Jin took out a pocket-sized intelligence brain from the pocket of his camouflage chest. It looks like an old smartphone, but it works a lot better than a mobile phone. At this time, the screen of the intelligence brain flashed with the requested communication icon, Gold opened it, and then placed the intelligence brain on the ground.
The intelligence brain's screen shot out a beam of light, and images gradually formed inside the light. It was a man, but the image had only reached the man's waist. His upper body was one with the darkness of the warehouse, giving off a mysterious aura.
A clearly handled voice said, “How's it going, Kim?”
Jin half knelt on the ground and replied respectfully, “Just as you expected, anyone below the sixth step is no longer a match for them. Compared to before he went to war, Su Yun and the rest have made significant progress, especially Su Yun, who I think has been promoted to Shadow Wanderer. ”
“I've already leveled up.” It seems like your judgement was correct, otherwise, you wouldn't have been injured. ” The voice said lightly.
King looked at his injured arm and unconsciously moved it back.
“Since the a.s.sa.s.sins in the wilderness can't do anything to them, then next time send our men out. “Jin, you should be very eager to fight at this level as well, right?”
Jin lowered his head and said, “Everything that I have is given to me by the Lord. As long as it is an enemy of the Lord, even if I have to put my life on the line, I will drag him down to h.e.l.l with me.”
“It's not good to risk your life so quickly. This only means that Jin is afraid of their strength.”
Gold did not answer, admitting to this fact. After a moment he asked, “But there is one thing I do not understand. Master, Zero is a Warrior of the Asgard like us, why … ”
“You are wrong, Jin, you are my warrior, and zero is Sol's. Whether it is your ident.i.ty or your position, you cannot be called ‘equally'.” The voice continued, “Besides, you only need to carry out my orders. There is no need to ask so much. Or are you questioning my decision? ”
“No, I don't dare!” Jean immediately lowered his head. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his nose.
“Don't be afraid, I won't blame you.” The voice from the video continued, “Actually, there's no harm in telling you. Zero is one of the thirteen artificial G.o.d s of the old era. That ridiculous plan was simply wrong, and Ben had allowed such a person to grow up. At the end of the day, Zero was not someone from the Asgard. If his strength reached a certain level, he would definitely become a threat to the Asgard. That's why you see, what I did was to clean up the unnecessary hidden danger that Asgard had. It was just that I definitely wouldn't admit to doing this, so I could only clean up the place secretly. ”
“I understand, Sir. If necessary, I can immediately go and do this for you.”
“No, you are the only one who is not certain of victory. I do not want to lose a powerful warrior. Wait a little longer. Very soon, the other powerful helpers will arrive. “Until then, don't do anything.”
The image flashed and then gradually disappeared. Before disappearing completely, the voice finally said, “Come back as soon as possible. Before the battle, you still need to raise your strength.”
“As you wish, my lord.”
When the image disappeared, King stood up and picked up the intelligence brain. He sighed softly, thinking that this vacation was not going to take place.
