137: Another Jiao Zhengqing!

Unfair is unfair, but in reality, a Duel Card is an extremely rare item, even in World 000!

In a sense, it gives the weak the courage and opportunity to challenge the strong!

However, those who are generally capable of obtaining a Duel Card are not too weak themselves.

Therefore, precious Duel Cards are usually only used by the strong to challenge the even stronger!

Song Sandong had fought Jiao Zhengqing outside the reading room before, and he was at a disadvantage, not as good as Jiao Zhengqing.

But at that time, he never even thought of using a Duel Card.

It was only when he encountered Lin Chuan that he resolutely decided to use it!

Firstly, Lin Chuan was too strong!

Secondly, killing Lin Chuan yielded too high a reward!

Otherwise, how could Song Sandong bear to use such a precious item, one he had risked his life for!

The reason for all this was simply that Lin Chuan's taunt was too high!

Being first on the level ranking was already like a big World Boss; killing him would drop a golden treasure chest!

What's more, he had also become a God Punisher!

Now, every player in the entire Plane was desperately trying to kill him!

It was just that they hadn't acted immediately due to their lack of strength!

Jiao Zhengqing could also understand all this, and his face was extremely grim.

But he didn't vent his negative emotions on Yin Xi, instead patiently asking, "Are the rest of us just supposed to wait for the duel's outcome? Is there any way we can help Boss?"

Yin Xi's face was solemn: "There is a way, but it requires the Eternal Tower."

"The Eternal Tower?" Jiao Zhengqing had never heard this term before.

So Yin Xi patiently explained: "Your Plane has already spawned a World Boss, and as long as you defeat the World Boss, the Eternal Tower will drop! At that time, all players can consume kill points at the Eternal Tower to enhance their hard power!"

To defeat the World Boss to spawn the Eternal Tower?!

That is to say, if they wanted to help Lin Chuan, they would have to defeat the World Boss within six hours!

This...

This was simply a fantasy!

Jiao Zhengqing took a moment to look at the World Boss's coordinates.

On that Plane map, the entire Sakura Country was covered in red!

Previously, the red was just scattered dots.

But now, the large expanse of red was as vivid as blood, a shocking sight!

Anyone with a bit of sense would realize the World Boss's strangeness and power at this stage!

When the World Boss's coordinates were first announced, many people eagerly spent a fortune on national teleportation cards to go to Sakura Country!

But now?

Sakura Country had become a forbidden death zone; no one dared to go there anymore!

But...

Jiao Zhengqing took a deep breath, his gaze heavy as he looked at Yin Xi and asked, "Do you think it's possible for our Plane to defeat the World Boss in the next six hours?"

Yin Xi sighed: "It's too difficult. If Lin Chuan were here, perhaps, but..."

But Lin Chuan was dragged into the Duel Secret Realm!

What's more, their goal of fighting the World Boss to get the Eternal Tower was to save Lin Chuan...

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire reading room became extremely heavy!

Jiao Zhengqing's face had a rather upright appearance.

He was a bit arrogant, but at critical moments, he was passionate and loyal!

Before, stealing the crystal ball from Braveheart Village's ancestral hall in the secret realm was an almost impossible task, but he did everything he could to complete it!

Lin Chuan also valued this about him, which is why he took him on as a subordinate.

And now—

Six hours, without Lin Chuan, to defeat the World Boss!

This was simply an impossible challenge!

Even more impossible than stealing the crystal ball in Braveheart Village before!

But Jiao Zhengqing exhaled deeply, his gaze firm and resolute: "No matter what, I want to try!"

Yin Xi subconsciously frowned: "Have you thought this through? Actually, with your Boss's strength, he might not need our help to defeat that Song Sandong. But your actions could cost you your life!"

Jiao Zhengqing: "I know that very well. But rather than doing nothing and just waiting here, I'd rather do something."

Another point Jiao Zhengqing didn't mention was—

He acknowledged Lin Chuan's strength and admired and revered him.

But he, Jiao Zhengqing, was not a coward or a wimp either!

He also possessed the heart of a strong person!

Isn't it just a World Boss? Let's fight it!

He, Jiao Zhengqing, had nothing to fear!

Yin Xi looked at Jiao Zhengqing's expression and couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration.

Indeed, anyone worthy of becoming Lin Chuan's subordinate must be no ordinary person!

Yin Xi nodded heavily: "Then let's try!"

Having reached a consensus, the two focused on discussing a plan to conquer the World Boss!

Their minds were highly concentrated, with only one common goal—

Save Lin Chuan!

At the same time—

Kyoto.

Inside the downtown museum.

Around the giant vending machine, strong individuals with resolute and courageous faces stood guard in layers, like an army!

These strong individuals shared a common temperament.

Firm, majestic, their postures like mountains and towers, collectively building a defense like a wall of bronze and iron.

Jiao Zhengqing also possessed such a temperament.

And just in a lounge near the vending machine.

The interior had been converted into a conference room.

Twelve men sat around a heavy, high-grade black nanmu conference table!

What was shocking was—

Among these twelve men, one's appearance was identical to Jiao Zhengqing, who was far away in Hai City!

At the head of the conference table sat a middle-aged man with a weathered face.

His gaze swept over "Jiao Zhengqing," his tone so flat that no emotion could be discerned: "Xiao Jiao, your opportunity has come."

That face of Jiao Zhengqing was also firm and courageous!

His expression was solemn, and his gaze was loyal as he looked at the man at the head of the table: "At your command, Chief!"

The man called Chief quickly said in a deep voice: "According to reliable sources, Lin Chuan has been led into a special space by a local strong individual in Hai City! For six hours, he will be unable to contact that 'Jiao Zhengqing'!

"That is to say, we have six hours to help you complete the task of 'killing another you'! Do you have confidence in completing the task?"

Jiao Zhengqing responded loudly: "Yes!"

"Very good!" The man at the head of the table looked on with approval.

Then, he gave an order to another person at the conference table: "That local strong individual in Hai City is named Song Sandong. There's a certain possibility he might directly kill Lin Chuan. So, the intelligence team must immediately get to work, investigate all information about Song Sandong, his likes and dislikes, his family, his weaknesses... Once he successfully returns, we must recruit him into Tianji Pavilion as soon as possible!"

The head of the intelligence team immediately nodded: "Yes!"

Then, the Chief looked at Jiao Zhengqing again: "And if Song Sandong fails, and Lin Chuan returns alive, then you will proceed with the original Plan B!"

Jiao Zhengqing's gaze was firm: "Yes!"

The Chief's face, which usually hid emotions very deeply, finally showed a hint of warmth, and his tone softened considerably as he said to Jiao Zhengqing: "This mission is truly dangerous. If Lin Chuan discovers any hint, with his personality, you will surely die."

Jiao Zhengqing nodded: "I know."

The Chief then said: "Do you have any other wishes? Tianji Pavilion will not mistreat any meritorious minister."

Jiao Zhengqing pondered for a moment, and after a long while, he slowly said: "If I fail the mission, Yinlan... I trouble the Chief to look after her."

The Chief nodded: "Of course, her Talent is of great significance, and Tianji Pavilion will certainly ensure her safety."

Jiao Zhengqing's expression was a little bitter, but he didn't say anything more.

He, of course, knew that Su Yinlan's Talent was enough for her to survive in the apocalypse.

But not all ways of living have dignity.

Especially since Su Yinlan had little combat power, yet her appearance and figure were quite alluring...
