The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!
Chapter 760 - 546: The Lion and the Rabbit

Chapter 760: Chapter 546: The Lion and the Rabbit

Snake Catcher Fortress wasn’t as deserted as one might imagine.

The teleportation gate opened, and several figures appeared.

"Thank you," Lind said with thanks, rejecting the enthusiastic Undead.

The Undead didn’t insist much, either; whenever they came across an NPC, they would approach eagerly to ask for quests, whether there were any or not.

Of course, there were also many Undead who rushed over upon spotting Lind, some hoping to receive quests from him, while others carried out completed quests awaiting delivery.

Lind walked on the way to the competitive arena, as Mico was currently restocking at the arena’s shop.

Most Undead who had issues with one another would choose an empty area for a PK to avoid their destructive power from affecting the Main City’s environment; now, the primary role of the fortress arena was to experiment with skills.

"Respecifying" skills after changing classes, the Undead couldn’t wait to test out their new abilities.

The place possessed the "Mad Secret High Priest" Renzo’s respec function, and also sold various Magic Potions for different paths.

When Lind caught sight of Mico, she was grinning broadly, showing her bunny teeth while counting money.

Still the same hoarding hamster.

"My lord!"

Renzo greeted Lind respectfully. His power must be growing the fastest; others needed to slowly enhance their abilities, but only Renzo could devour others’ "experience" crazily through Mad Secret Fire. As long as his mind could bear it, his progress was even faster than Lind’s initial cheating pace.

However, advancing beyond "Legend" was no longer about consuming Magic Potion. Legend was already the visible endpoint. To progress further, they had to figure out other methods, such as seeking Divine Authority to become deities or maybe Starlets held other secrets.

Lind observed Renzo, growing thinner and without a nose or eyebrows; it seemed the psychological torment was severe, resembling a standing Snake Person.

A complete villainous figure, his powers were also evil. If it weren’t for Lind arranging him on a Voldemort-like path, he might have been the first NPC to be obliterated. Now, on the contrary, the Undead adored him.

"Renzo, don’t put too much pressure on yourself."

"Yes, my lord," Renzo bowed his head.

He was used to Renzo’s silent and reticent nature.

"In a while, come to Magic Land with me," Lind said. "It suits you better there."

Renzo suddenly looked up, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Yes, my lord!"

"I thought you truly desired nothing, haha."

Renzo took his leave, leaving the space to Lind, the Bunny-toothed Witch, and... a few hundred Undead on the periphery intrigued and munching on melon seeds.

However, they were bound to be disappointed; the relationship between the lion and the rabbit would not be impatiently displayed.

"Let’s go."

"Wait a bit more!" the Bunny-toothed Witch said, "I haven’t finished counting."

"It’s just some..." Lind looked at the materials she was meticulously counting—so abundant in the warehouse that they could never run out, usually squandered on research.

Seeing Mico so earnest, Lind closed his mouth and did not speak, standing aside and quietly waiting.

The Undead around them whispered to each other, and then the chatter grew louder.

"Let’s go!" Mico finally finished counting, clapped her hands contentedly.

"Don’t you have other preparations?" Lind asked, "Once you leave with me, you won’t return easily."

The direct line across several planes was already available, making travel convenient, but that did not mean they could move at will. Until they had the power to rip through space for Plane Movement at will, they were better off staying in fixed locations.

Safety was somewhat assured, even within Xilu Continent, Lind dared not claim to be the master of this Material Plane; the underground Starlets always filled him with trepidation.

There was always something older hidden away.

"I’ve been ready for a long time!" Mico snorted.

Then she mentally added: Two years ago!

...

[You cannot open it from this side]

A frustrated kick from an Undead landed on the iron gate blocking the way.

As a serious Undead gamer, his style focused on exploration, preferring games that provided direct experiences. He hated games with deceiving textures that looked accessible but weren’t.

This game satisfied him a lot. After following the "main quest" for a while and easily leveling up to the server’s cap, Comic Weight began his own journey of exploration.

Clearing all his own quests was the first step.

The important thing was to revisit maps he couldn’t enter at a low level. Now with heightened strength, he wanted to try again.

He returned to Star Dragon City in Rand Kingdom on Xilu Continent, searching for the once-visited Star Ore Mine.

What welcomed him was still a door he couldn’t open.

The ground was still filled with Admonition Daggers.

[There is a hidden path ahead that allows rolling through]

Could it be that the method wasn’t applied correctly?

Comic Weight gracefully rolled forward, only to hit his forehead against the iron gate with a loud "thud."

He looked at other warnings.

[There is a swindler ahead]

[There is no guide ahead]

[There is a dead end ahead]

"Damn it!"

Seen too late.

Clearly, he wasn’t the only one thinking of coming back to try; unsurprisingly, all attempts to open it failed.

Searching for guides online, the only results were a bunch of misleading marketing fluff leading to unrelated directions with no sensible advice.

Comic Weight turned around regretfully to leave. Just as he stepped out of the mine, he spotted two figures.

Lind and Mico!

Comic Weight reacted swiftly.

Plot development!

"Look at my damn rotten luck!" Comic Weight couldn’t control the corners of his mouth, his exaggerated smile blooming.

He approached them proactively.

"My lord, are you entering the mine?"

Lind nodded at Comic Weight: "Correct."
