Chapter 1398: Chapter 63: Golden City

Tang Zheng was not a conspiracy theorist, but he was very cautious; he suspected that Pan Hui might still be from the Ning Faction, using her beauty to seduce him and extract various benefits.

Xiang Ning was psychic, formerly a psychologist, skilled at analysis; originally, she had no other intentions, but after seeing Pan Hui and Tang Zheng getting close, she suddenly decided to talk to her.

There was no mission announcement, and the atmosphere in the team was relatively relaxed; Tang Zheng did not gather firewood to start a new campfire, as that would seem unsociable, so he simply sat down with Gu Xueqi in the middle of the Conquerors’ circle.

"Hey, handsome, catch!" The long-haired woman took out two cans of canned beef, smiling as she tossed them to Tang Zheng, "Are there only two people left in your team?"

The long-haired woman clearly had more cunning than Pan Hui, a certain duplicity about her.

"Thank you!" Tang Zheng caught them, and in one smooth motion, he took out his folding knife and with a flick of his right hand, opened the blade with a click and stabbed it into the lid; with a swift motion, he opened it and handed it over to Gu Xueqi.

His gentle care for women, as subtle and silent as a spring rain, indeed made women feel very favored; it was completely subconscious for him.

"Quite the gentleman, aren’t you!" Pan Hui recklessly threw Tang Zheng a flirtatious glance, making him even more certain that this woman was assigned by Xiang Ning.

"Too pretentious," Xiang Ning muttered under her breath, disappointed Pan Hui was too clumsy and indeed not suitable for this kind of job; the long-haired woman clearly wouldn’t sell her body, so she had to choose her, giving Pan Hui a mission while Tang Zheng was washing up.

"Handsome, you haven’t answered my question." The long-haired woman flipped her hair, exposing her pale neck; Liu Hang glanced at it and swallowed hard.

"Our team still has nearly thirty people; we just got separated after the second teleportation, and I don’t know their locations," Tang Zheng’s worry was not feigned; if Qin Yan’s squad wasn’t together, the severely injured Xin Lan and Meiqin would definitely be in danger, but in the primitive tropical rainforest, without any means of communication, he was at a loss.

"So many people? That’s unscientific!" The wolf-devouring, tiger-swallowing teleportation man immediately froze, not even bothering to chew the tuna meat in his mouth.

"As far as I know, the second teleportation generally only activates after the completion of the current mission," Zhao Haixing obviously was skeptical, taking advantage of his relationship with Li Kelun to boldly question, "So even if there are twenty people left, it’s impossible; you must be bluffing."

The Conquerors’ eyes all shifted, waiting for a response, Liu Hang’s eyes filled with mockery, waiting to see Tang Zheng make a fool of himself; in his view, this guy definitely lied.

The newbies were not qualified to sit with the Conquerors; gathered around another campfire, they immediately took pleasure in Tang Zheng’s awkward predicament.

Gu Xueqi remained calm, disdainful of offering explanations, but felt a little proud inside, "Just mention our number of Conquerors, it would scare them to death."

"Alright, maybe there are other reasons too," Xiang Ning clapped her hands to close the conversation for Tang Zheng, not wanting relations to get too tense.

"It’s better to speak clearly; I don’t want to travel with a swindler." Zhao Haixing spat disdainfully, glaring at Tang Zheng, "Don’t try to brush us off with the simplicity of the game; you are at the Hero Level, so your team’s rank must also be within the top one hundred fifty; the theme games this kind of team participates in are always at the S-level or above. According to Trojan knowledge, survival rates are generally only about five percent."

Zhao Haixing opened his wristwatch, and a virtual screen popped up, listing game data.

"You don’t believe me, but what can I do? If I told you our team has twenty Conquerors, you definitely wouldn’t believe it either," Tang Zheng shrugged, eating his beef, not bothered by Zhao Haixing’s challenge.

"I believe? Even if you were Trojan’s own son, you couldn’t guarantee such a survival rate. Twenty Conquerors? Are you more formidable than the Boss of the China Region? His team has only a dozen members, and even that is constantly being trimmed and replenished." Zhao Haixing rolled his eyes, thinking the person before him was too boastful.

Li Kelun remained silent, eating his meal and heavily drooping his eyelids, peering at Tang Zheng over the rim of his bowl.

Xiang Ning frowned deeply, doing the same thing; with her experience, she could tell Tang Zheng was not lying, but his claims had no grounding, a result far too inconceivable.

The long-haired woman snorted in derision, clearly mocking Tang Zheng; only Pan Hui, being rather naive, instinctively felt that Tang Zheng was not a braggart, and thinking about moving closer to a strong figure, she got a bit excited.

"Introduce the abilities of your team members, and I’ll believe you," Liu Hang, lacking intelligence, still tried to use a strategy, goading Tang Zheng.

"Forget it if you don’t believe," Tang Zheng wouldn’t fall for it; speaking a mix of truth and lies was exactly how to confuse them, concealing information.

"Idiot," Xiang Ning cursed quietly; such critical information, no one would reveal it.

"You know the Boss of the China Region?" Tang Zheng started to counterattack, probing some things.

"Look, he slipped up, didn’t he? You must be newly promoted to Hero Level, not even knowing his name?" Zhao Haixing finally caught a handle, laughing loudly, "Sorry, I won’t tell."

Team matters were handled by Qin Yan; Tang Zheng really was not well-informed, and besides, such bosses always maintained a mysterious aura; at most, you might have heard a nickname, and even that might not be true.
