Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing

Link ignored Ou Chen, Wu Hao, and the others’ weird looks and asked Zhao Yongkang and company to confiscate the equipment of those taken captive.

The grades of their weapons weren’t bad. After all, they were elite teams from the three major factions, so they were much more well-to-do than ordinary people. Most of them had one or two pieces of Gold-grade equipment.

Jiang Wencheng, Zhu Changfeng, and the other Stage Five Star-level powerhouses had more high-quality equipment on them. They also definitely had some rather rare potions, pills, and other combat supplements. For example, the pill that Wang Hao used in the battle against God Devourer Ant just now.

These people were the top powerhouses of humankind at this current period, leaders of the major factions. They had all received a lot of resources and grooming from their respective factions.

Although Link and the others might not have a use for these items, they could be used to arm the people in Unfallen City.

Weapons, armor, and such items were the easiest to be confiscated. These people were already prisoners, so they could just directly take the spoils from them. However, the pieces of equipment and items placed in the personal backpacks weren’t easy to obtain unless the prisoners were killed and the items dropped.

But after Luo Haoyue’s twisted spider shadows appeared and cruelly shredded two Stage Four prisoners to bits and dragged them into the shadows, these prisoners all became obedient and took out the contents in their personal backpacks.

After all, no matter how rare the equipment and items were, they weren’t as important as their own lives.

Jiang Wencheng, He Lunhai, and the other Stage Five powerhouses were seriously injured and unconscious. After being awakened, they also took out the items in their personal backpacks. Among these items were the [Qi and Blood Pill] used by Wang Hao and the protective talisman used by Zhu Changfeng.

These things were relatively rare and could be regarded as the various factions’ special products.

Seeing Zhao Yongkang and others tidying up the war spoils, Jiang Wencheng, Zhu Changfeng, and the other four Stage Five powerhouses all secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The other party forcibly collected the spoils, signifying that they didn’t need to worry about their lives for the time being. After all, these things would drop from their personal backpacks if they were killed. If Link really wanted their lives, there wasn’t a need to force the prisoners to take out the items themselves.

Since Link didn’t kill them, it either meant that he feared the revenge of the factions behind them or that they still had value.

Jiang Wencheng and the others were all smart people. Upon thinking of this, their eyes flickered. It’s good as long as there is still room for discussion! It’s better than losing our lives!

Link glanced at the confiscated items, smiled, and said nothing.

Among these items, one more crucial item was missing—the [Boundary Breaking Talisman].

These people were still being dishonest.

Perceiving Link’s gaze, Jiang Wencheng thought for a while and said, “Sir, if I didn’t guess wrong, you should be Unfallen City’s City Master. We have offended you this time, but as long as you allow us to leave safely, Ancient Martial Alliance will definitely give you a satisfactory reward.”

The City Master of Unfallen City—this was Jiang Wencheng’s own speculation. After all, the team he sent out to Unfallen City had gone missing.

These people in front of him were definitely related to Unfallen City, and their status was definitely not low.

In fact, he guessed right.

Link didn’t deny anything; it wasn’t necessary to hide his identity. After all, these things could be easily found out if someone really checked. As for Jiang Wencheng’s remuneration, it was his goal in the first place.

“Okay, I can let you guys go. However, my Unfallen City is preparing to be promoted to a second-level home city, and there’s still a lot of materials missing. Each of you just needs to provide 100 fourth-grade soul crystal cores or rare ores of equivalent value.”

“A hundred fourth-grade soul crystal cores?!” Jiang Wencheng’s eyes opened wide, his eyes almost popping out. He also drew in a breath of cold air at the same time.

Zhu Changfeng and the others’ faces also changed! This kid is really asking for too much! Does he really think that fourth-grade soul crystal cores are Chinese cabbages and that they exist in huge quantities?

It should be known that the value of fourth-grade soul crystal cores wasn’t low, and it was the top material for building spell formations and equipment.

This kind of rare material could only be obtained from the drops of dead Stage Four monsters, and the probability of it dropping was so low that it could make a person cry. Even the major factions didn’t have many of these cores in their reserve.

After all, at this stage, there really weren’t many people who could kill Stage Four monsters.

Ou Chen, Wu Hao, and the others all laughed. Good fellow! It’s no wonder that Link didn’t take their lives, so this was what he was after!

There were quite a number of members from the three major factions captured here. If Link counted by headcount and one person required 100 fourth-grade soul crystal cores to be released, the major forces wouldn’t be able to afford it, even if they sold everything they had!

Link raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly and glanced at Jiang Wencheng and the others obliquely. “Why, is there a problem?”

Pressure—created from killing intent and fierceness—instantly enveloped Jiang Wencheng and company.

Momentarily, these Stage Five powerhouses all felt a little frightened as if they had seen seas of blood and mountains of corpses appear in front of them!

How many people and monsters did this kid kill in order to have such an aura? This aura can even shock us, and we are all one Stage higher than him! This person is a mass killer!

Luo Haoyue—who was at the side—also turned to look at them. The corners of her mouth rose, revealing a cold smile.

Jiang Wencheng and the others’ scalps all went numb. They dared not provoke these two mass killers and shook their heads quickly.

“No problem, but City Master Link, fourth-grade soul crystal cores are hard to obtain. You should know that Ancient Martial Alliance doesn’t have a lot of reserves for this item. We are really unable to provide you with so many!” Wang Hao said in a low and hoarse voice.

“En, then one Stage Five member requires 100 fourth-grade soul crystal cores to be redeemed, and Stage Four members need 30 each. The deadline is one month. If no one comes to redeem you guys, then you guys shall just stay here,” Link said flatly.

“This…” Jiang Wencheng and the others still wanted to bargain. This price is still too high; this is akin to skinning us clean!

Each faction had sent a dozen or so people here, consisting of two Stage Five powerhouses and several Stage Four powerhouses. Totaling up, each faction would need to pay 500 or 600 fourth-grade soul crystal cores!

This was simply an astronomical number!

This was kidnapping and extortion!

Link practically wanted to empty their reserves, break apart their bones, and suck out their marrows!

Jiang Wencheng, He Lunhai, and the others were all bleeding in their hearts…

The most important thing was that they weren’t sure if their factions would pay such a high price to redeem them. Even if they were redeemed, they would definitely be punished severely.

But upon seeing Link’s cold eyes, they still closed their mouths; it was just that their faces were a little green. If they continue to bargain, they might directly die here and now.

“Since there are no objections, please contact your respective factions later. As for now, I want to have a good chat with the people from Evil Sect.” Link looked at Zhu Changfeng and Han Yingjie, a touch of teasing in his eyes.

Zhu Changfeng smiled forcefully and said, “Hehe, we have no objection to your proposal. I will contact the Elder in Evil Sect and send over the things as soon as possible.”

“Yes, we will raise the crystal cores right away.” Han Yingjie also nodded repeatedly.

“Don’t pretend; you guys know what I want to say,” Link said coldly.

Zhu Changfeng and Han Yingjie didn’t continue to act dumb and stopped smiling. “City Lord Link, you want to ask about the [Boundary Breaking Talisman], right?”
