85: Make trouble in the brave village!

“Boss, whatever you say, I will definitely cooperate and not disappoint you!”

Jiao Zhengqing's face was solemn, and his tone was utterly loyal!

This scene left the two factions, who had just been full of gunpowder, completely stunned!

Especially the nine men under Jiao Zhengqing, each looked as if they had seen a ghost!

What the heck?!!!

What's going on?!!!!

How did their Boss suddenly start calling someone else 'Boss'?!

This world is too fantastical!

Lin Chuan, however, didn't care about the opinions of irrelevant people and directly said to Jiao Zhengqing, “In a while, I will leave the tavern. Because I killed many people in the tavern, I will inevitably be fully arrested by Braveheart Village's Guard Army!”

“I will find a way to attract a large number of Guards, and you, in the meantime, need to steal the crystal ball from the idol's hand in the ancestral hall for me!”

“Steal… steal it??” Jiao Zhengqing looked bewildered, “But the ancestral hall is heavily guarded, I, I…”

Evidently, even though he was enslaved by Lin Chuan, Jiao Zhengqing still retained his basic ability to think.

And he had explored all of Braveheart Village when he was accepting quests.

Among them, he had also visited the ancestral hall.

He had long discovered that the most heavily guarded place in Braveheart Village was the ancestral hall!

As a result, his newly recognized 'Boss' actually wanted him to steal something from the ancestral hall?!

This…

Isn't this giving him too much credit?!

Jiao Zhengqing, who had previously sworn allegiance as if he would go through fire and water for Lin Chuan, now looked troubled.

Clearly, even with absolute loyalty to Lin Chuan, he knew in his heart that this was an almost impossible task!

Lin Chuan didn't actually hold out much hope in his heart.

But he decided to take a gamble!

He directly took out the inner armor he had bought at Paradise and handed it to Jiao Zhengqing: “This inner armor has extremely strong defense, capable of resisting fifty percent of a First-Turn professional's attack and thirty percent of a Second-Turn professional's attack.”

Jiao Zhengqing eagerly took the inner armor, thanking him profusely.

Then he suddenly asked, “What turn are the ancestral hall Guards?”

Lin Chuan pursed his lips: “On the surface, only Second-Turn professionals.”

“…”

Although Jiao Zhengqing had reached Level 25, this Level 25 was very inflated!

He hadn't even undergone a class change; for every level up, before Level 10, he received 1 free attribute point, and after Level 10, he received 5 free attribute points.

Even at Level 25, his strength against a Second-Turn professional…

Not to mention an egg hitting a rock, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree; there was a fundamental difference, with no chance of victory!

Even wearing the inner armor, he would probably be instantly killed by a single slap!

Next, Lin Chuan took out a pile of gold coins from his space, “Here, there are about four or five hundred gold coins. You can use them to buy some life-saving items.”

Jiao Zhengqing looked at the large stack of gold coins, his eyes once again glowing with eagerness.

However, the expression on his face remained troubled: “I've been to all the shops in Braveheart Village, but no matter how many life-saving items I buy, Boss, your mission will probably still be very difficult to complete!”

Lin Chuan pursed his lips again, and after much hesitation, he finally took off the Death Grip he wore on his right hand!

Then, he placed the Death Grip into Jiao Zhengqing's hand!

He said solemnly: “Among these four connected rings, activating the second one can form an invisible protective shield. Its defense is linked to your own physique attribute; as long as the opponent's attack does not exceed five times your physique, you can basically save your life.”

“Activating the fourth one will instantly teleport you to the tavern! Once you return to the tavern, the Guards outside will most likely not attack again!”

“Most likely…” Jiao Zhengqing asked hesitantly, “Specifically, how likely?”

“Ahem,” Lin Chuan was a bit embarrassed, “Fifty to sixty percent likely.”

“…” Jiao Zhengqing's expression was a bit hard to describe.

However, Lin Chuan raised his hand and heavily patted his shoulder, saying with particular solemnity, “Go for it, I believe in you. You can definitely do it.”

“…” Jiao Zhengqing still had a constipated expression.

Anyone can say encouraging words!

The key is, can he really do it?

Jiao Zhengqing was very doubtful.

However, influenced by the imprint in his subconscious, he would subconsciously obey Lin Chuan!

So, after taking a deep breath, his gaze gradually firmed, and he solemnly promised Lin Chuan, “I will do my best to complete Boss's entrustment!”

Lin Chuan patted his shoulder again in trust: “I'll give you ten minutes to buy items, and then, a quarter of an hour after I leave the tavern, you can begin your operation!”

“Yes!”

Jiao Zhengqing even gave Lin Chuan a solemn military salute with great impressive bearing before turning to leave.

Looking at his retreating back, an uninformed person might have thought it was Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin, with a tragic sense of a hero departing and never returning!

Lin Chuan looked at his back, his eyes also deep and solemn.

In reality, he didn't know what exactly the crystal ball in the ancestral hall could bring him.

But if the operation failed, the loss would definitely be huge!

The inner armor and gold coins were nothing.

The key was the Death Grip; if the operation failed, he probably wouldn't get it back.

So, it must succeed!

And the reason Lin Chuan dared to make such a gamble was because he had met Jiao Zhengqing in reality!

That guy's identity before the apocalypse was a mystery, but undoubtedly, he had extremely strong combat awareness before the apocalypse!

In the early days of the apocalypse, many people, even with attribute points added, couldn't fully utilize their corresponding strength.

But Jiao Zhengqing was different; almost as soon as he added points, he could quickly unleash the corresponding strength!

It was precisely because of his combat Talent that Lin Chuan was willing to bet on him!

Hopefully, he wouldn't disappoint Lin Chuan!

Ten minutes later, Lin Chuan left the tavern as planned!

Almost the moment he left the tavern, he felt strong pressures rushing straight towards him!

Lin Chuan didn't hesitate and immediately began leading the Guard Army on a thrilling parkour chase through Braveheart Village!

Destroying 16 Evil Dragons Lairs before had yielded some rewards!

The most useful of these was the A-Level Talent Instant Flash, which allowed him to instantly move within a twenty-meter radius!

Another B-Level Talent, Speed Enhancement, also increased his speed tenfold, playing an important role in this parkour journey!

There was also a B-Level Talent, Earth Shatter, which barely created some obstacles for the Guards chasing him.

In reality, although he had committed murder in the tavern, the Guard Army's main goal was to arrest him, not kill him.

So Lin Chuan was relatively relaxed.

The truly difficult part was Jiao Zhengqing's side!

And he didn't enter the ancestral hall alone!

Instead, he brought his nine core team members into the ancestral hall with him!

They had entered the ancestral hall before, but at that time, they mainly wanted to see if the NPCs there had any quests.

Without triggering any quests, they had simply left.

This time, the ten of them repeated their old trick, ignoring the Guards' stern and cold faces, and shamelessly approached them one by one to ask for quests.

The Guards' attitude was as usual, stern and majestic, and they directly issued a command to leave: “There are no quests here, please leave as soon as possible!”

“How can there be no quests? The Village Chief clearly hinted just now that we should come to the ancestral hall to look!”

“Either you misunderstood the Village Chief's meaning, or…”

The Guards' gazes towards these ten people suddenly became wary and unfriendly: “Are you deliberately causing trouble?!”

The Guards were too majestic, and their oppressive gaze was too strong!

Among this ten-person team, someone actually revealed fear under such a powerful gaze!

In an instant, the ten Guards stationed at the ancestral hall all shook the iron spears in their hands!

The immense aura almost suffocated these ten brave men!

The shouted 'Get out!' seemed to carry a sonic attack, making these ten brave men dizzy and their brains ache!

Despite the unfavorable situation, Jiao Zhengqing was very decisive. He endured the spreading metallic taste of blood in his mouth and let out a furious roar, his eyes splitting with rage: “Ah!”

This was their signal!

However, under the current immense pressure, he didn't know if his teammates could follow the plan and desperately resist the Guards for even 0.1 seconds!

As for himself, he didn't hesitate at all and charged towards the idol in the center of the ancestral hall!

His nerves were extremely taut, and his speed was at its absolute maximum, even directly using the Swiftness Talisman he had bought with gold coins!
