Chapter 1252: Chapter 6: Dominant Group Leader

Garlic-Nose lunged forward in an arrow step, his fist raised high, he smashed it towards Tang Zheng’s nose and kicked out at the same time, aiming directly between the legs.

This guy was a gangster, idle on most days. Relying on his robust physique and a few days of martial arts training, he engaged in dishonorable activities like stealing chickens and dogs and frequently colluded with familiar prostitutes to scam men who couldn’t walk away when they saw women.

Seeing that Garlic-Nose was trying to intimidate the newbies by crippling him, Tang Zheng didn’t hold back either. His right leg, like a siege hammer, swiftly lifted and kicked him in the stomach.

Garlic-Nose screamed in agony. His body was kicked into the air, and then Tang Zheng grabbed his hair and pulled him down.

Bang, Tang Zheng’s knee rose and struck his cheek. Amid the crisp sound of fracturing bones, the nose bridge broke, blood gushed out like floodwaters breaking through a gate, and his teeth were smashed to smithereens, spewing out in a mess.

Garlic-Nose’s head was struck, and he spun around like a windmill, making a full three-hundred-sixty-degree rotation before his head knocked on the ground.

Since he had used a Seed, Garlic-Nose’s ability to take a beating was decent. He still had the strength to counterattack, unleashing his ability and transformed into a hair-covered berserk bear.

White light flashed in the room as veteran members of the Warhammer Team began to be teleported in. Seeing a furry creature attacking Tang Zheng, they instinctively drew their weapons, then stared in astonishment at Garlic-Nose. This guy had some nerve, even daring to provoke the Group Leader.

Without any suspense, Tang Zheng pivoted on his left foot, swung his leg like a steel whip, and struck Garlic-Nose’s side. The guy flew through the air like a meteor entering the atmosphere, traveled straight for over ten meters, and crashed into the wall, thereafter dropping to the floor.

More newbies were being teleported in, still university students. It seemed that those who died in the poisonous incident had almost all come here.

"Group Leader, you have to stand up for me!" Garlic-Nose staggered twice, then got up. Knowing he couldn’t beat Tang Zheng, he cunningly ran towards Dantai, sobbing tearfully, his words unclear because his teeth had been knocked out, "Group Leader, he’s challenging your authority. If you don’t subdue the newbies, there will be lots of trouble in the game."

"I’ve said before, I’m just the deputy group leader." Dantai frowned, although Tang Zheng was generous and didn’t care much about these titles, he needed to maintain a measure.

"Sooner or later, it will be the case. The Silver Trojan said the elimination rate for the battle for Holy Land tickets is very high. The group leader is probably dead by now, especially since his ranking in the game was not low." Garlic-Nose flattered Dantai, his face all smiles. But when he turned toward Tang Zheng, he turned vicious again, "What are you looking at? Come here and apologize to your master, cut off one of your fingers, and I might spare you..."

Before Garlic-Nose could finish his harsh words, he was kicked in the chest by Dantai and tumbled away.

"Group Leader, why did you hit me?" Garlic-Nose was utterly dejected, then, seeing the mocking expressions on Lin Weiguo, Sha Ou, and others, he suddenly realized and began shaking uncontrollably.

"Uncle, you’re here!" Lu Fan appeared, took a few running steps, and like a koala, clung onto Tang Zheng.

"Fuck, my mistake. No wonder you can fight so well!" Garlic-Nose felt like banging his head to death. He had angered the group leader, and no amount of lives he had would suffice.

"Eh? Why are you guys standing in a row?" Lu Fan glanced at those university student newbies, then stared at Garlic-Nose, slightly startled, then realized, "You actually dared to challenge Uncle, did your brain grow grass?"

"Yes, little princess, you’re right. My brain is full of grass," Garlic-Nose said, with a flattering smile, covering his bleeding nose, looking towards Tang Zheng, "Group Leader, please let me off this time. I was just trying to discipline the newbies early on to make them easier to command."

"Gu Xueqi, treat his injuries!" Tang Zheng waved his hand, too lazy to deal with this guy. He was about to catch up with Dantai when white light flashed, and Mu Nianqi appeared in the room.

Gu Xiaohua snapped her fingers, and a Young Phoenix shot out, landing on Garlic-Nose’s wound, immediately starting to heal the broken bones and reducing the pain.

"Thank you, Group Leader, thank you, Xueqi!" Garlic-Nose smiled obsequiously.

"President!" The university students saw Queen Mu and immediately rushed over, as if they had found their backbone.

"Stop, let me have some peace!" Mu Nianqi made a quiet gesture, her brows slightly furrowed, looking around at the pale white walls, her gaze finally settling on the Black Cube, the lost memories flowing into her brain like water.

"This woman’s prestige is really high!" Watching the university students quiet down at a single word from Queen Mu, Dantai couldn’t help but be impressed.

"I see, I remember everything now!" Mu Nianqi exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling the changes in her body, looked at her classmates, "Don’t worry, we’ll be able to go back soon."

"Hey, aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue with such big talk? The group leader is here, what right do you have to issue orders?" Garlic-Nose, trying to make up for his earlier mistake, roared at Mu Nianqi, also taking the chance to vent his frustrations since he dared not trouble Tang Zheng and could only take it out on the newbies.

"Are you talking to me?" Mu Nianqi frowned, a powerful aura emanated from her, and the university students also glared angrily at Garlic-Nose.

"Nonsense, do you think I’m training a dog?" Garlic Nose huffed and walked towards Mu Nianqi, swinging his newly healed arm to slap her beautiful cheek.

"Seeking death!" As Mu Nianqi spoke, a crescent-shaped wind blade appeared around her body, spinning and shooting at Garlic Nose’s chest, splattering blood and leaving a gash.

Garlic Nose was knocked back and fell to the ground.

"Hey, you know hurting people will get you punished!" Dantai frowned; what was wrong with this girl? Why did she have an ability? "Are you an external aid?"

"She’s not an external aid. She’s a Conqueror who once left after earning ten thousand points. You should have heard of her; her name is on the Trojan’s leaderboard," Tang Zheng said. He couldn’t make out Mu Nianqi’s ability, but her calm and method alone were enough to suggest she was from the Powerful Party.

"Ah, I remember now. She holds the record on the newbie scoreboard!" Xu Biyun suddenly realized, being more familiar with these things due to her interest in video games.

This statement made everyone’s eyes turn to Mu Nianqi, curiously scrutinizing her. Gu Xueqi paid even more attention, observing this girl who was only three years older than herself, indeed exuding a powerful aura.

"What, it’s been almost three years and no one has broken my record yet?" Mu Nianqi did not care about those gazes, remaining calm and composed, "By the way, I’m one of the Fearless!"

"What are you bragging about? Tang Zheng has already equalled your record, and Xueqi has scored even higher," Lu Fan couldn’t stand it any longer, sensing danger from this dominant woman who was likely to compete with his uncle for the team leadership.

"So that’s it, you entered because you received my photo!" Mu Nianqi figured it out but didn’t care anymore and stopped paying him any attention. "Don’t worry, everyone, I’ll explain the rules of the game to you, helping you adapt quickly!"

"Hey, aren’t you being a bit too dismissive?" Lu Fan, ignored, wanted to explode.

"Want to fight? I’m game. Oh, just a reminder, in the Trojan Room, I can kill without facing any punishment." Mu Nianqi smirked, kicking the Black Cube, "Silver Trojan, rise up. Aren’t you going to greet an old friend?"

Without the usual introductory music, the Black Cube started rotating and levitated, its first words being a flustered complaint.

"Why have you come again? My goodness, isn’t tormenting me enough for you?"

Was this really the mean-spirited, merciless Silver Trojan? It was acting more submissive than a grandchild, leaving the members of the Warhammer team almost dropping their jaws.

"You think I wanted to come here?" Mu Nianqi snorted coldly.

"Haha, I made it, I finally made it! This is the Trojan Room, the place where one can attain immortality! The rumors were true." Zhang Chun’en teleported into the room, seeing everything, suddenly burst into frenzied laughter, his face filled with excitement.

"You bastard!" Ge Cang followed and upon seeing him, lunged forward, punching him in the face.

"Ge Cang, stop it, now’s not the time to beat him up." Mu Nianqi noticed Zhang Chun’en’s four bodyguards and a Filipino maid had also entered, and more people kept teleporting in.

Five nurses and four doctors, all of whom were killed in a doctor-patient dispute that day.

"What is this place?" one of the nurses asked, looking around at the people uneasily, her nurse uniform and white silk stockings stained with dried blood.

"Why are there so many people? Trojan, this isn’t my first time in here and I have to face a mass cleansing, right?" Mu Nianqi was familiar with every aspect of the Trojan Game, perhaps even more than Tang Zheng.

"Can’t help it; you’ve ended up with a nice guy for a group leader. Look at him, saving so many people! Other leaders fear too many members leading to a cleansing phase, and some even betray their newbies and teammates on purpose. This guy, on the other hand, keeps saving people!" Seeing an old friend, the Silver Trojan vented its frustrations, "I miss the good old days, your era truly was the golden age; these new toys are such rubbish."

"Tang Zheng!" Dong Zixuan, along with Zhao Dongtao and three others, also entered the room, seeing a room packed with unfamiliar newbies, a bit dazed.

"Damn, you’re kidding, right? You joined the Holy Land ticket brawl and managed to bring back five people; how did you even get through?" The Trojan couldn’t keep calm, blurting out a curse, "Was this year’s group leader fight that easy?"

Mu Nianqi couldn’t help but look at Tang Zheng anew, reassessing his strength. She had heard about that competition; her own group leader had barely survived it.

"Stop talking nonsense and give me that SSS Grade reward!" Tang Zheng introduced Dong Zixuan to everyone, then demanded his prize and threw out four wristwatches, "Exchange these for four Tyrannosaurus Protective Clothing pieces!"
