Chapter 292: Chapter 144 Clearing the Den, Top-Tier Rewards_1

In the goblin lair, it was cold and damp.

Upon realizing this, the Bartender broke out into a cold sweat, fearing and regretting his decisions deeply.

He had thought that the most important opportunity of his life had come, only to find out that he had been seen through all along.

How infuriating!

He should have never been greedy.

After the Bartender passed through the door to the Pigman King’s bedroom and into the web-like tunnel of the lair, it took only seconds before he heard the task issued by the mad maid.

The card he received was the Goblin Slayer, and with each goblin he killed, his physical strength would increase bit by bit.

It could be said that the more he killed, the stronger he became, which was why the Bartender actively sought out even goblin infants to kill, and was so keen on Lin Baici attacking the Goblin King.

However, the biggest reward of this hidden task was to kill the King of the Goblins to directly obtain a Top-tier Divine Prohibition and clear the level.

Faced with such temptation, how could the Bartender not be moved?

Moreover, the effects of these cards were similar to rock, paper, scissors, belonging to the rules category, meaning that the King of the Goblins, when facing anyone holding the other cards, whether The Hero, Red Dragon, Wizard, Holy Woman, or Female Knight, etc., had a fighting chance.

If the cardholder was female, no matter how strong they were, they would be suppressed by the King of the Goblins.

And the only natural enemy of the King of the Goblins was the Goblin Slayer card.

This was information the Bartender got without breaking a sweat after activating the card.

Actually, the Bartender really wanted the King of Goblins card because it was so powerful. The idea of making female players pregnant was thrilling to think about.

The rewards for the Bartender’s task clearly stated that he must kill the King of the Goblins as soon as possible because for every person he killed, the reward he received would drop by one level.

Because of this task, the Bartender understood that the King of Goblins was human, not a monster.

When the Bartender saw Xia Hongyao accidentally drop a card depicting the King of Goblins, he was instantly excited.

It never crossed his mind that it was a trap since Xia Hongyao was a frequent visitor at the Dragon and Beauty Bar, and he was familiar with her.

This girl had a large chest and strong combat capabilities, but her brain was so-so. If her sister wasn’t Xia Hongmian, some God Hunters would have made a move on her long ago.

To deal with someone of limited intelligence, the Bartender thought he had a secure victory, especially with the natural suppression offered by the cards. The issue was finding an opportunity to kill Xia Hongyao.

"That’s right!"

Xia Hongyao snorted with pride, "We swapped cards!"

High Ponytail handed over the card confiscated from the Bartender to Lin Baici.

When the Bartender heard Xia Hongyao admit it, his face froze and his lips twitched as he stared at her, "So saying that, you being on the same team as me was also deliberately arranged by Lin Baici?"

"Of course!"

Xia Hongyao laughed heartily, hands on her hips, "Isn’t my Little Linzi impressive?"

"..."

The Bartender closed his eyes, filled with even more regret.

Thinking back, he had been so thrilled to be grouped with Xia Hongyao, his tongue nearly danced with joy, almost wanting to sprint out and celebrate, yet he was unaware that he had fallen for a trap.

"Holy shit, you deliberately grouped yourself, Xia Hongyao, and the boss lady together during the team assignment, and I thought you were being selfish. Was it all to throw the Bartender off?"

The old chief was dumbfounded.

Lin Baici just smiled slightly.

He didn’t answer, but everyone knew that the old chief was right.

"When did you guys swap cards?"

The Bartender couldn’t understand, "After we entered this cave, I didn’t see you guys alone together?"

"It was after we killed the Pigman King!"

Xia Hongyao felt extremely exhilarated; it was like Holmes solving the case and explaining the criminal’s methods to everyone.

This was the climax.

And this time, she was a participant, and it felt so rewarding.

Ah!

It was a pity she couldn’t go online—she really wanted to show off to Crane Hermit and the others in the group.

"What?"

The old chief was shocked, "So when you called Xia Hongyao out, it wasn’t for a ’quickie’?"

The old chief thought that after a bout of bloody slaughter, Lin Baici needed to vent, since if it were him, he definitely would have taken the chance to hook up with Xia Hongyao.

"What the hell is a ’quickie’?"

Xia Hongyao didn’t understand.

"Leader, you really plan for the long term, don’t you? Aren’t you afraid that swapping cards might cause problems?"

Lin Baici’s meticulousness left the dwarf in awe.

"Afraid, but I feel this card, being of the monster category, is dangerous to hold!"

Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders; it was the sense of danger that the dwarf’s card gave him.

The dwarf holding the ’Chef’ card meant an increased lethal power against Pig-Headed Men, which might mean someone else held a card that was the natural enemy of the King of the Goblins.

"Heh, it seems fate decrees I will never be Dragon Level in this life."

The Bartender gave a wry smile, if only Lin Baici had been less cautious, he would have won.

No,

It must be my bad luck that this card happened to be in Lin Baici’s hands.

"You’ve lost fair and square!"

The dwarf interjected, "At the Pig-Headed Man stage, the leader had already guessed what my card was roughly about."

"What?"

The woman in leather pants was startled, just like the old chief and the Bartender, all with perplexed faces.

"Is it because you did more damage to the Pig-Headed Men?"

The boss lady noticed this detail at the time but didn’t think of it in terms of cards; she simply thought the dwarf was concealing his true strength.

The Bartender, the old chief, and the woman in leather pants all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Really?

Why hadn’t I noticed?
