191: boos news

North Wind City.

Barren Land entrance plaza.

Wang Chen looked at the woman blocking his way and instinctively frowned.

She was the Awakener from the Holy Light Adventure Team who was recruiting people with a loudhailer when he passed through the plaza earlier, that broad-chested Priestess.

He didn't know if she was gentle or not.

But it was true, as she had advertised… she was truly… well-endowed.

“Cough…”

“Sorry, I don’t plan to hire an Adventurer Group.”

Taking a step back, Wang Chen awkwardly averted his gaze and spoke in a feigned cold tone.

“Little brother, why are you so distant?”

Seeing Wang Chen’s somewhat flustered look, the Priestess giggled, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes.

“You’re only level 70 now. The Barren Land is too dangerous for you. If you hire our Holy Light Adventure Team, big sister can take you to explore the depths of the Barren Land!”

“Or, you can also do whatever you want to do.”

As she spoke, the Priestess moved closer, reaching out to take off Wang Chen’s hat.

“No need!”

Wang Chen’s mouth twitched, and he moved his foot to dodge her hand.

His purpose for coming here was to hunt a level 100 wild monster boss, and to succeed, he would inevitably clash with other Awakeners.

Acting alone could avoid a lot of trouble.

Moreover, he truly had no interest in older women!

“I’m just going to wander around the periphery; I won’t enter the depths of the Barren Land.”

“And…”

As he spoke, Wang Chen paused and said earnestly:

“I also can’t afford the 200,000 gold coin hiring fee!”

After speaking, he directly stepped forward, intending to bypass her.

But at this moment.

“Little brother, are you sure you don’t want to enter the depths of the Barren Land?”

“Recently, a level 100 wild monster boss has been roaming there. The depths will be very lively for a while.”

The Priestess stared at Wang Chen, speaking in a playful tone.

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, Wang Chen paused his steps.

A level 100 wild monster boss?

No way?

He looked at the Priestess with suspicion.

“Little brother, your expression truly makes big sister sad!”

“The matter of the level 100 wild monster boss isn’t a secret. You can ask anyone here to confirm if it’s true.”

The Priestess feigned shyness, covering her chest with a heartbroken expression on her face.

Hehe…

Seeing this, Wang Chen sneered inwardly, but he had already believed her words somewhat.

After all, if the news of this level 100 wild monster boss was false, it would be exposed by asking others.

However…

“I’ve disguised myself to be so ordinary, so why did this woman target me?”

Wang Chen wondered, still looking at her warily.

“Thank you for the reminder, but a boss-level wild monster is not something I can handle. You can find others who are interested.”

After speaking, Wang Chen quickly walked to the Barren Land entrance queue, waiting to get his entry permit.

This time, that inexplicable woman didn't continue to pester him.

Soon.

Wang Chen reached the front of the line.

“Register your personal information, purpose for entering the Barren Land, and estimated duration of stay.”

The guard at the entrance pointed to the QR code on the table, indicating for Wang Chen to register himself.

Wang Chen was not surprised by this and directly scanned the QR code with his data terminal.

The Barren Land, as a large wild monster gathering place jointly controlled by Dragon and Bear Country, had very strict security checks at the entrance.

After all, entering the Barren Land, in a sense, was considered leaving the country.

If security checks were not set up and entry permits were not issued, who knew what kind of people would return to North Wind City from the Barren Land.

This procedure could allow North Wind City to weed out over ninety percent of ill-intentioned individuals.

As for trying to sneak through…

The Six-Turn guard responsible for registration, and the thirty elite City Guards stationed nearby, would show them how powerful Dragon’s fist was.

“Ding-dong!”

As Wang Chen finished filling out the information on his data terminal and clicked submit, a notification sound immediately rang out from the device the guard was operating.

“Wang Chen?”

“Blazing Dragon University student?”

“Thirty days?”

Seeing the information displayed on the screen, a hint of surprise flashed in the guard’s eyes, and his gaze lingered on Wang Chen’s face for a moment.

“It’s too dangerous for you to enter the Barren Land alone. I advise you to hire an Adventurer Group to accompany you.”

“Although it will cost some money, at least your safety will be guaranteed.”

The guard offered a word of advice.

He was responsible for entry and exit registration here and was extremely clear about the danger level of the Barren Land.

A young man like Wang Chen traveling alone would likely become prey for those greedy Bounty Hunters before even seeing the wild monsters of the Barren Land.

As his words fell, the Awakeners waiting in line immediately looked at Wang Chen with surprise.

“Holy crap! Who exactly is this kid? Chief Li actually took the initiative to remind him?”

“Unprecedented! Old Li is always so cold; when did he become so humane?”

“Interesting, this kid’s identity must be unusual. Old Li speaking now is probably not just reminding this kid, but also warning certain individuals not to target this kid!”

“This young man looks so young, could he be a student from some top-tier university?”

The crowd discussed animatedly, their eyes full of surprise as they looked at Wang Chen and the guard.

At the same time, a few ill-intentioned gazes quietly retracted at this moment.

At the entrance.

“Thank you for the reminder, I’m just going in to broaden my horizons!”

Hearing this, Wang Chen politely thanked him.

“Then I wish you a smooth journey.”

Seeing Wang Chen’s persistence, the guard did not continue to persuade him.

“This is your entry permit. Remember to keep it close.”

Handing Wang Chen a card, he waved his hand and directly let him pass.

“Thank you!”

Taking the permit, Wang Chen quickly passed through the entrance, his figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

After he left.

The guard shook his head and performed a few operations after Wang Chen’s information on the device.

“Ignorance is truly bliss. This kid is Blazing Dragon University’s treasure. Let the City Mayor and the others worry about him.”

He sighed and gestured for the next waiting Awakener to register.

Meanwhile, on the other side…

The Priestess of the Holy Light Adventure Team only withdrew her gaze after seeing that figure disappear into the wilderness.

“Julie, you haven’t fallen for that kid, have you? You’re so reluctant to see him go!”

Just then, a female Combat Priest, dressed in armor with a chain flail wrapped around her waist, approached her.

“If you’re really worried, you can go after him now.”

Looking at her companion, the Combat Priest teased.

“That’s a good idea!”

Hearing this, Julie clapped her hands, a hint of excitement flashing across her face:

“What are we waiting for? Let’s go now!”

“No way? You’re serious?”

Hearing her words, the Combat Priest was filled with astonishment.
