Chapter 20: Poor Baby

“F*ck! Who the hell is talking? Get the hell out here now!”

Kuangge Menghu roared in anger.

Right now in the newbie village, all the elite players from major guilds had already left.

Who dares to talk to me like that? Must be tired of living.

At that moment, the crowd parted, and a player stepped forward. His ID glowed: [General Chaoge]. He looked at Kuangge Menghu with a mocking expression and said, “Kitten, dare to repeat what you just said?”

Seeing clearly who it was, Kuangge Menghu instantly fell silent.

Damn it, it’s General Chaoge—I just kicked an iron plate!

General Chaoge was one of the “big four” in the Chaoge Guild. And backing the Chaoge Guild was the Liu Corporation, one of the world’s top conglomerates. Their financial power could crush Kuangge’s backers hundreds or thousands of times over.

Even if this guy wasn’t the president of Chaoge Guild, he still wasn’t someone Kuangge Menghu could afford to offend. The gap between them was simply too vast.

“General bro, I didn’t know it was you. I was talking nonsense, please don’t take it to heart. A prime minister’s stomach can row a boat, right?”

Kuangge Menghu changed his tone in a flash—from a fierce tiger to a purring kitten.

“All right, I know what kind of guy you are. From now on, just follow me.”

General Chaoge’s one sentence could determine the future of the Kuangge Guild—that’s the kind of power Liu Corporation had.

“Ah, yes! Thank you, General bro! From now on I’ll follow you through fire and water, serve you like a loyal dog…”

Getting such a strong connection was something Kuangge Menghu couldn’t even dream of—so the very next second, he became General Chaoge’s lackey.

Meanwhile, Fengyun Tianxia quickly backed off a few steps, not daring to act cool anymore. He didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

General Chaoge loved this kind of overwhelming dominance. He casually asked, “Little Tiger, what are you guys crowding around for, looking all flustered?”

“General bro, some guy here somehow got his hands on 50 pieces of bronze equipment…”

Hearing ‘bronze equipment’, and fifty pieces at that, General Chaoge’s interest was instantly piqued. He rushed over to the stall.

After checking the gear’s stats, he suddenly realized they were all top-grade bronze equipment.

All fifty of them! At minimum, worth five million! No wonder those guys earlier were red in the face arguing.

“I’ll take them all—two million, paid by Chaoge Guild!”

General Chaoge’s eyes were completely glued to the equipment. He didn’t even glance at Jiang Chen. In his mind, anyone who could be bullied by the Kuangge Guild would surely fall to their knees upon hearing the name ‘Chaoge Guild’ and obediently hand over the gear, thanking him for the honor.

That was when Jiang Chen finally spoke up: “If Chaoge Guild wants to buy, it’s ten million!”

“What the f*ck?! Are you out of your damn mind, trying to scam General bro?! Do you even know who this man is?!”

As the lackey, Kuangge Menghu exploded on the spot.

He was itching to prove himself. If he could win General Chaoge’s favor this time, his status would skyrocket.

“This man is one of the Chaoge Guild’s big fou—”

SLAP!

!!!

The whole place was stunned—even the air froze.

You could hear a pin drop.

Just as Kuangge Menghu was about to finish his boast, he felt a burning slap across his face and his head buzzed.

General Chaoge had suddenly smacked him across the face, leaving not just him, but the whole crowd dumbfounded.

Can someone please tell me what just happened?

No one understood what was going on—not even General Chaoge. The moment he saw the face of the vendor, he was scared stiff.

That slap he delivered? Completely reflexive. That face… was a walking nightmare. Just seeing it now made him tremble all over.

In his mind, he cursed both Kuangge Menghu and Jiang Chen’s ancestors thoroughly.

“Who the hell told you to mess with this psycho?!”

“You damn bastard! Why didn’t you tell me he was the Lone Ranger?! Why didn’t you say anything?!”

In this newbie village, if there was one person you absolutely couldn’t mess with, it was this guy—the ‘Lone Ranger’, whom countless players had dubbed a walking bug.

A level 1 beating a level 7? Not that scary. But have you ever seen a level 1 beat five hundred level 7s?!

And that wasn’t even the worst part. The truly insane thing was that in the next five hours, this guy went even crazier—he challenged a thousand level 9s head-on.

Holy sh*t. At this point, it wasn’t about whether he was hacking—the guy himself was a bug!

Sincerely begging the developers of Hope World to patch this bastard, or the game will be unplayable.

“Hey, are you buying or not?” Jiang Chen looked over with a stony face.

Hearing that, General Chaoge trembled all over. “Buying, I’m buying! I’ll transfer the money right now!”

Hiss…

The surrounding spectators all gasped sharply. Holy hell—that’s ten million we’re talking about!

“Who is this guy?”

“He’s definitely a boss. If someone as badass as General Chaoge is bowing and scraping, what else could he be?”

“Why does he look kinda familiar…?”

A burly man in the crowd scratched his head.

At that moment, Jiang Chen received the ten-million transfer.

“I’ve got another batch of gear. Want it?” Jiang Chen took out another pile of equipment.

General Chaoge smiled helplessly. “Yes, yes, ten million’s not even that expensive.”

Another ten million transfer came in.

“I’ve got another batch of gear. Want it?”

Pfft~

General Chaoge felt like he was coughing blood.

Where the hell is this guy getting so much gear?!

He tearfully transferred another fifteen million.

“I’ve also got a batch of skill books. Want those?”

Jiang Chen had sold off all the gear on him and in his warehouse. In his inventory, he still had 34 silver skill books, which he took out too.

“Bro, I really don’t have any more money… please, have mercy on me.”

General Chaoge’s eyes were practically brimming with tears.

“Uh…”

Looking at this ‘adorably’ pitiful guy in front of him, Jiang Chen decided not to go too far this time. “I’ll give you a 50% discount. Ten thousand per book—cheap for you.”

General Chaoge was instantly moved to tears. “Bro, say no more. Thank you… thank you…”

“No need to thank me—it’s what I should do.”

Jiang Chen responded sincerely, and shortly after, received another 3.4 million transfer.

“Do come again, little General.”

Hearing that nickname, General Chaoge stumbled.

The bronze gear was definitely a huge loss—about thirteen million in the hole. But the silver gear made up for it, roughly balancing things out. As for the skill books, he probably even made a small profit.

It wasn’t about the money though—silver skill books were something you couldn’t buy even with cash. Right now, the market was flooded with white-tier skill books, which were basically useless.

Silver skill books were incredibly rare—at least at this stage of the game.

All in all, it was an acceptable outcome. Nearly 150 items, and only a ten-million loss. Not a total disaster.

After all, the Chaoge Guild was currently way behind other major guilds. With this batch of equipment, they could quickly catch up on their initial disadvantage…
