Chapter 1125: Chapter 10 Entering the Room (3rd Update)

Boss Wu screamed, blood running down the corners of his mouth, and this time, two of his teeth had been knocked out.

"Swear at me again, I want to hear it?" Tang Zheng controlled his strength, preventing the bald man from losing consciousness too easily, allowing him to feel the acute pain more clearly.

"Stop hitting him, someone could die." Li Huiwen spoke up, but deep down, he felt extremely relieved.

"Have you been in contact with Xiu Ru lately? She’s lost a lot of weight because she’s too upset to eat." Liu Man completely ignored Boss Wu and was willing to do anything to keep that Maybach 62.

"Stop hitting me, I was wrong." Boss Wu, unable to tough it out, pleaded with Tang Zheng, tears streaming down his face, looking utterly wretched.

In just a short while, a crowd had already gathered around, and the hotel manager came out to stop the disturbance.

"Stop it, are you trying to kill him?" Dong Zixuan caught up and saw Tang Zheng beating the bald man, grabbing his arm.

"Humph, I’m just teaching him a lesson. Don’t be so arrogant." Tang Zheng ignored Liu Man and went to help Xiu Yingjie, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine, but I’ve caused you trouble again." Xiu Yingjie was very frustrated.

"We don’t look for trouble, but we’re not afraid of it either." Tang Zheng patted his classmate’s shoulder, "You go back to the hotel first, leave the rest to me."

Xiu Yingjie shook his head.

"None of you are leaving, I’m calling the police." Seeing a policeman nearby, and knowing that Boss Wu knew Li Wenbo, he became arrogant again.

"Forget it, I’ll owe you another favor." Dong Zixuan, seeing the bloodied Xiu Yingjie, knew this was Boss Wu’s doing and was very displeased with him. She was about to say something when she saw a woman approach the bald man, whisper a few words to him, which caused his expression to change, and he immediately stopped making noise.

"You’re not lying to me?" Boss Wu felt uneasy and stared into Liu Man’s eyes, wanting to see through her.

"What’s our relationship? Could I lie to you? He’s a good friend of An Xiu Ru, and you can’t afford the consequences of provoking him."

"Damn, pretty boys have it easy." Thinking of An Xiu Ru’s status, and seeing Liu Man also siding with the other party, Boss Wu had no choice but to glare fiercely at Tang Zheng before leaving in irritation, not daring to utter a harsh word.

"It’s all over, disperse now." The hotel manager dispersed the onlooking guests.

"You know Tang Zheng?" Dong Zixuan was surprised and stopped Liu Man, realizing the boy had other connections.

"Officer, I’m not obligated to answer that, am I?" Liu Man retorted and then walked over to Xiu Yingjie, helping him up, showing great concern.

"Forget it, I can’t be bothered anymore." Seeing the two women almost sticking to Tang Zheng, Dong Zixuan suddenly found it all very uninteresting, "I’m leaving."

"Let’s go too." Tang Zheng was about to settle the bill, but Liu Man got there even faster.

"This gentleman has already paid." The waiter pointed to Xiu Yingjie, eager for these people to leave quickly.

"Where are you going? I can take you!"

Xiu Yingjie’s arm was supported by Liu Man, feeling somewhat elated, yet he also knew the reason she did it was to curry favor with Tang Zheng, which made him feel gloomy.

"No need." Tang Zheng refused.

Having received the money and having been beaten up, even Tang Zheng’s generous hospitality could not endear Xiu Yingjie to this city, and by evening, he had booked a train ticket to leave the next day.

"I was actually planning to take you around the nearby tourist area." In the train station hall, Tang Zheng handed over a package of local products to Xiu Yingjie.

The loudspeaker was already announcing, urging passengers to check their tickets and proceed to the boarding gates.

"You’ve already troubled yourself enough." Xiu Yingjie put down his luggage, hugged Tang Zheng, and patted his back hard, "When you come back for vacation, I’ll treat you properly."

"Yeah, go ahead, line up early." There are no endless banquets under the heavens. As the passengers began to line up, Tang Zheng didn’t want to delay his classmate’s time.

Having sweated profusely on the crowded train, Xiu Yingjie opened the package and saw the food and drinks inside, feeling warmth in his heart.

"Ah, I can’t compare." Xiu Yingjie thought of Liu Man and Li Huiwen’s flattery and sycophancy towards Tang Zheng; with a mere gesture, those two women would offer themselves, then he also thought of Black Long Straight and Dong Zixuan near him, both pretty girls, but this time his heart felt no jealousy, only envy.

In the following days, Dong Zixuan indeed did not contact Tang Zheng again. He was relieved and light-hearted at first; he took a day to meet with Qin Yan and others, then enjoyed a three-day vacation, after which he started exercising and cramming knowledge. If he wanted to go to the Holy Land, his current strength was far from enough. He needed to improve quickly to unlock the second phase of Hero Mode.

Rest time was always fleeting. On the midnight of the fifteenth day, the teleportation arrived punctually.

"Has Tang Zheng not arrived yet?" Three seconds later, Pang Meiqin had already appeared in the Trojan Room from the bedroom, looking at the pale white wall. She glanced at the over a hundred newbies and frowned.

"Uncle is much slower this time," Lu Fan sat on the ground, drawing circles and looking quite dissatisfied. The conquerors had already arrived, and the teleportation seemed to have stopped, but Tang Zheng was nowhere to be seen.

"Could something have gone wrong?" Jing Xiang, hugging her arms, was very worried.

Dantai Zongqi was holding a man by the collar, fiercely slapping him across the face. He didn’t say much, but the increased force of his hand indicated his worry.

"Stop hitting me, please!" The man was a newbie who had survived the previous round in the Silver Trojan Room after the conquerors had a bye. He thought he was tough, bullied the newbies, and even coveted Bai Guo’s large chest, attempting to assault her, but the vice captain pinned him down and thrashed him thoroughly.

Another survivor, a man with glasses, wisely kept quiet at this moment and observed them.

A rock version of the International Song started, filling the room while the Black Cube rotated in midair and opened with its usual introduction.

"Toys, please me with your lowly lives and sweet blood!"

"Where is Tang Zheng? Why wasn’t he teleported in?" Lu Fan questioned the Trojan, an issue also concerning others who were hardly in the mood to explain the room rules to the newbies.

"As a leader, one must take on respective responsibilities. This round, he has to participate in the Leader Trials to get the ticket to the Holy Land." It was a rule; otherwise, Silver Trojan wouldn’t have bothered to explain with its evil taste.

"Explain it clearly." Teng Yuangxiang was very irritated, her danger increasing without Tang Zheng around.

"The Trojan Horse Game that Tang Zheng is participating in is of SSS grade difficulty, and the participants are all leaders who have gone through life and death battles with extremely rich experience. Only they qualify, and of course, to test them better, each leader will have a team of newbies," Silver Trojan smiled cunningly. "I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time, so happy to see Tang Zheng fall into misfortune."

"Since it’s Triple S rank, doesn’t that mean the newbies are bound to die?" Dantai thought there was a loophole in Trojan’s words.

"Of course, so you newbie toys, be thankful for your good luck." The Trojan mocked the newbies as it continued, "However, if a newbie is extremely lucky, they can also survive, because in this game, overwhelming strength does not exist, it tests comprehensive ability."

"Each Leader Trial, also known as the Holy Land Ticket Battle, has an elimination rate of ninety percent. Even if leaders activate Hero Mode, they will be constrained, during which no equipment can be used and physical attributes are reduced to ordinary human levels, without using any Seed Ability. Even a bout of the flu could kill a leader."

"Doesn’t that put them at the same starting point as the newbies?" Pang Meiqin shuddered at the thought. If she had to start again, survival would be impossible without sufficient luck in addition to strength.

"It’s too hard, not just facing the risks of the game, but also competing with other leaders." Dantai believed that the top three hundred leaders on the ranking board were tough opponents.

"No, it’s even harder than the newbie phase. Back then, getting a Seed could activate abilities and enhance physical attributes, but now they don’t even have Protective Clothing," Lin Weiguo was quite worried, his face dark as ink.

"Yes, but high risk also means high reward. Such a game produces SSS Grade Equipment, so wish your leader luck!" Silver Trojan laughed brazenly.

"Don’t worry, uncle will defeat everyone and come back alive," Lu Fan pouted, clenching her little fists and waving them.

The others weren’t so optimistic.

"Alright, the game begins; consider yourselves now. This round is also very tough," Silver Trojan had got to know these folks quite well. The opening of the Holy Land was not far, and if nothing went wrong, they would occupy a slot for the Asia Region.

"Everyone, perk up; don’t worry about anything else. Tang Zheng is very strong; he doesn’t need us worrying for him. All we need to do is come back alive." Dantai stepped forward, taking up the leader’s responsibilities, unwilling to see the team fall apart. It was evident that several individuals, including Pang Meiqin, Ruan Feifei, Teng Yuangxiang, and even Jing Xiang, would be out of place in the team without Tang Zheng’s protection.

Ai Yixin leaned against the wall, staring coldly at Sha Ou, clenching her fist multiple times. With Tang Zheng gone, it was a good opportunity to kill Sha Ou.

While Warhammer Team worried about Tang Zheng, he too sensed something amiss, having appeared in a strange room once the teleportation ended.

This was a fifteen-meter cubic room surrounded by semi-transparent walls with no Trojan present, completely sealed but breathable.

Tang Zheng saw shadows moving on those semi-transparent walls. The other side seemed to be sizing up this side, but it was futile.

The newbies began to teleport. This was the first batch of fifteen people, starting with a part of their bodies emerging, then gradually increasing.

"Miners?" Seeing these men covered in coal dust, with grimy faces wearing safety helmets, Tang Zheng furrowed his brows. These men still wore expressions of terror, clearly having experienced a mine disaster.

"Run, it’s flooding!" A man who appeared to be the leader, his face full of urgency, shouted loudly.

Tang Zheng initially wanted to offer some reassurance, but the next moment, the teleportation of newbies changed his expression dramatically, filling him with rage. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation.)
