Chapter 10: Removed
Following the subtle threat from Xu Feng of destroying the herb, the guards could only stand in their position, unwilling to provoke him further from committing the act.
The herbs were precious, and the culprit was in front of them, which meant that sooner or later, he would be apprehended.
However, if their actions caused the culprit to destroy the herbs altogether, then the losses would be tremendous. Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
Therefore, they were stuck in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat, with Xu Feng leading the situation completely from start to finish.
'Hah, what a bunch of idiots indeed. If this was an upgraded version of the game, then this bluff of mine would be useless.' Xu Feng sneered inwardly.
It was no exaggeration to say the guards weren't humanlike and were just a bunch of robots at the moment.
After all, the Sunfire Lotus herb in his hand currently had attributes such as increasing fire resistance to a player.
So what was his mere Sacred Fire going to do to the herb?
Even if it did come into contact, the Sunfire Lotus would still be glistening with zero damages.
'As if I would risk burning my wealth,' Xu Feng exclaimed inwardly.
He was meticulous in everything and was long ready for the situation to change drastically. Despite not wanting the situation to come to this, there was no regret in his actions.
No pain, no gain.
That was a common phrase, but one that stood true no matter the situation.
"My hands are trembling with those spears pointing at me. Please, I'm very cowardly." Xu Feng continued his act and proceeded to tease the guards further by making the Sacred Fire closer to the herb.
His realistic actions prompted the guards to retreat a few steps, clearly afraid of him actually destroying the herbs.
Patiently waiting for the time to countdown, Xu Feng relaxed his muscles when the number hit 0.
"Finally, goodbye guards, and thanks for your lovely herbs contribution." Xu Feng laughed heartily as he eagerly waited to be kicked out of the Holy Sanctuary.
Alas, his laughter came to an abrupt halt when he saw a system message pop up.
System: Due to Adventurer Lin Feng's misconduct in the Holy Sanctuary and his misdeeds of ransacking the Miracle Herb Garden, punishment would be imposed upon him.
"W-What???!"
Xu Feng's mouth was wide open when he read the system message. It never occurred to him that the system of the Divine World would be personally imposing a punishment upon him.
This kind of process went against all logic and information he learned from his past.
Never once had there been an incident of a system personally imposing a punishment on a player unless they were caught and detained by fellow NPCs.
While in the midst of confusion, the system continued to send out a few messages.
System: Given that the arrival of Adventurer Lin Feng here in the Holy Sanctuary was because he wanted to gain some experience and had obtained approval from the system. Therefore, Adventurer Lin Feng falls under the administration and jurisdiction of the system.
"So I was under surveillance by the system due to this loophole," he facepalmed, clearly not expecting this kind of plot twist.
"Then what punishment would I face? Am I going to have my herbs confiscated or the baptism revoked?" Xu Feng asked in concern.
Alas, there was no longer any response from the system as he was directly removed from the Holy Sanctuary.
His vision blurred completely and there was a sensation and feeling of him being tossed around like a rag doll, causing him to feel nauseous.
"Is this part of the punishment?" He screeched, covering his mouth.
