Chapter 1299: s.n.a.t.c.hing the Quest!
After hanging out with Quan Zhen Sect for so long, w.a.n.g Yu was no longer that ignorant, naive lad.
Based on Big Bear Deng Deng An and his subordinates’ actions, it was not hard to tell that they were also investigating the secret behind the wall. Big Bear Deng Deng An sounded so wary so naturally, w.a.n.g Yu could feel his anxiousness.
It was a big issue that the west side’s wall was damaged and Void Blade definitely had some responsibility so this time, they might be competing to complete the same quest.
“Nothing!” w.a.n.g Yu said casually, “I was just looking around and saw that something’s amiss with this wall. Why? I am Twilight City’s City Lord, can’t I walk around the westside?”
“No, no, no…” Big Bear Deng Deng An was first happy to hear what w.a.n.g Yu said, then quickly added, “Of course you can go wherever you want.”
“Great!” w.a.n.g Yu nodded contentedly and said, “What’s wrong with this wall?”
Seeing that w.a.n.g Yu was not the culprit who damaged the wall, Big Bear Deng Deng An was relieved and no longer wary of w.a.n.g Yu.
Since w.a.n.g Yu was not his enemy, he could not wait to suck up to him. Furthermore, w.a.n.g Yu took the initiative to ask about it so he willingly told him everything he knew.
“I shan’t keep anything from you!” Big Bear sighed and said, “When I entered the game today, it was already in this state. Our leader received a quest to investigate the cause in three days… So, here we are keeping watch to see what happened.”
“Erm…” Hearing what Big Bear Deng Deng An said, w.a.n.g Yu was dumbfounded, “This is how you investigate?”
“If not, how else?” Big Bear Deng Deng An helplessly said, “The wall is in this state already, and we don’t have a single clue so we can only wait here. I heard that after the culprit conducts the act, he will return to the scene so we are waiting here…”
Big Bear Deng Deng An stopped here and lifted his head to look at w.a.n.g Yu.
“The culprit will return to the scene? Does such ridiculous logic exist?” w.a.n.g Yu looked at Big Bear Deng Deng An seriously.
Obviously, based on Big Bear Deng Deng An’s logic, he would rather kill the wrong person than let anyone go so he was going to kill every player who came close to this wall. Before w.a.n.g Yu came, he might have already killed some.
w.a.n.g Yu was not a saint and as a violent man, he definitely did not love his people as though they were his children but Big Bear Deng Deng An’s wrongful killing of innocent people for his own quest was an action he could not put up with.
In the past, w.a.n.g Yu only thought that he was arrogant but it seemed like he was twisted too.
Of course, since he did not see Big Bear kill anyone, he would be as twisted to kill Big Bear now. Hence, w.a.n.g Yu coldly stared at Big Bear and said, “Enough, there’s nothing of your business here anymore.”
“Iron… Iron City Lord, what do you mean?”
Hearing what w.a.n.g Yu said, Big Bear Deng Deng An did not know what to do.
w.a.n.g Yu coldly said, “What I mean is now, this city wall quest has nothing to do with you guys. Go back!!”
“What…” Big Bear Deng Deng An was stunned. He said in shock, “Boss Iron Bull, this is our quest.”
“I know! But now it is mine!”
w.a.n.g Yu spoke as a matter-of-factly as though it was a normal thing. His strong att.i.tude left Big Bear Deng Deng An at a loss.
“Why!!”
Seeing w.a.n.g Yu forcefully s.n.a.t.c.hing their quest, the other players behind Big Bear Deng Deng An could no longer sit back.
Void Blade could be counted as the largest guild in Twilight City and especially in the westside, no one dared to defy them. It was always them s.n.a.t.c.hing others’ quest and no one had s.n.a.t.c.hed theirs before. Upon hearing what w.a.n.g Yu said, they could not swallow their pride.
w.a.n.g Yu side-eyed them and said, “Simply because I’m the City Lord!”
“F*ck!”
Everyone was furious.
They were in a game. A City Lord had no actual authority and even if the President came, he would have to speak with his fists.
These players were all new people and had not experienced the time when Void Blade and Quan Zhen Sect were enemies. Although they knew about w.a.n.g Yu and saw his performance during the Professional League, to them, w.a.n.g Yu was still just another person.
How could someone be so arrogant? Could he take on dozens at a time?
From just now, these guys were unhappy with w.a.n.g Yu’s att.i.tude but seeing that their leader was afraid of him, they did not display their dissatisfaction but now that w.a.n.g Yu was so arrogant, he angered them. Some even pointed their weapons at him and furiously suggested to Big Bear Deng Deng An, “Leader, let’s fight him together. We might be able to take him down!”
Young men, they really did not fear death…
“F*ck!”
Hearing what he said, Big Bear Deng Deng An’s soul almost left his body.
d.a.m.n it, even if everyone else did not know how strong w.a.n.g Yu was, Big Bear himself experienced it before. Back when Void Blade had three thousand elite players and a team of professional players surround him, they could not stop him. Big Bear even had his head removed. Now that they had only a dozen mediocre players, it was simply seeking death.
Panicking, Big Bear Deng Deng An carefully looked at w.a.n.g Yu’s face and seeing that he did not mind what his subordinates said, Big Bear Deng Deng An quickly said, “We’ll leave now… Right now…”
As he spoke, he motioned to cue the rest of them and left.
Big Bear knew w.a.n.g Yu’s temper to be courteous first then use violence. He might sound arrogant but now that he made himself clear, if Big Bear dared to defy him, he might be instantly ‘ushered’ away, and that ending would be way worse than leaving on his own accord.
Seeing that their leader left, the rest also followed behind unwillingly.
“Tsk!”
Watching Big Bear Deng Deng An and the rest leave, w.a.n.g Yu snarled with annoyance.
He wanted to use this opportunity to teach this dude a lesson but unexpectedly, he knew very well what to do… He was indeed a b*stard who bullied the weak and feared the powerful.
After Big Bear Deng Deng An and the rest left, w.a.n.g Yu came before the wall and began observing in detail.
It was no wonder Big Bear and the rest could not find a single trace of hint, and could only lay ambush there. After looking carefully for a long while, w.a.n.g Yu did not find anything amiss.
The majority of the westside wall was alright. Only this portion was so damaged so it was not because of a lack of repairs over the years. However, since w.a.n.g Yu was not a professional stone smith or cement worker, he could not tell what was wrong.
“Do I really also have to squat here and wait?” w.a.n.g Yu mumbled then opened his guild chat and called, “@Fearless quickly come to the west side of the city 3321.3325!”
Look for Fearless if you need brains, look for w.a.n.g Yu if you need fists. This was common knowledge in Quan Zhen Sect. Since w.a.n.g Yu could not find any clues, he called for Fearless to help.
Since Fearless had nothing to do, he quickly came to the west side of the city upon receiving w.a.n.g Yu’s call for help.
