139: Target of public criticism
"The mutated rabbit we caught yesterday had several hundred catties of meat alone. As the captors, we can get an extra two catties of cooked rabbit meat."
When Yang Tianci brought Gu Qinghan and the others to the dining hall at noon, he found that there were many people queuing, so he explained to them.
The other team members obviously already understood this rule; his words were clearly directed at Gu Qinghan and Kong Yan.
Except for Gu Qinghan and the two others, everyone had experienced a fierce battle that morning and had been looking forward to this feast.
The people around also knew that there would be extra food in the dining hall today, and they all craned their necks to look inside.
Suddenly, Gu Qinghan was heavily pushed, and he stumbled two steps forward.
Kong Yan and several other team members were also pushed aside.
Gu Qinghan looked up and saw a man with a fleshy face constantly pushing his way in.
At the same time, he kept pushing away the Professionals around him, cursing:
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! I'm hungry, let me eat first."
Gu Qinghan immediately walked over and said to the other party:
"Apologize, you bumped into me."
However, the strong man glanced at Gu Qinghan and sneered:
"New here? Don't you know who your daddy is?"
Behind him were several other Professionals with equally unfriendly expressions, looking fierce.
Yang Tianci suddenly walked up at this moment, stood in front of Gu Qinghan, and whispered:
"Xiao Gu, let's leave this matter for now. He's a Level 17 Berserker, the captain of a combat team, and very strong.
Your current level is too low; it's not too late to get your revenge when you become stronger in the future."
In Yang Tianci's opinion, Gu Qinghan was currently only a Level 13 Professional and had no capital to contend with the other party.
Before Gu Qinghan could say anything, the strong man glanced at Yang Tianci and mocked:
"Oh, isn't this our Captain Yang? Your disabled wife isn't dead yet?"
As he said this, Gu Qinghan could clearly feel Yang Tianci's body stiffen.
However, he just glared at the other party and stood quietly in front of Gu Qinghan.
Kong Yan instinctively took a step forward, but quickly stopped himself.
The strong man seemed very satisfied with their expressions, sneered "cowards," and then continued to walk forward.
"Captain! If we make a move when he's cursing people like this, it shouldn't violate the rules, right?"
Kong Yan was the first to be unable to sit still. He didn't seem to be upset because of his own situation, but because the other party insulted Yang Tianci.
Yang Tianci just shook his head and smiled, patting his shoulder and saying:
"If I were younger, I would definitely go up and fight him.
But it's different now; I have a family and all of you team members to consider."
After that, he said nothing more, just stood quietly at the front of the line.
He Jianan called Gu Qinghan and Kong Yan to the back of the line and whispered:
"Don't think the Captain is a coward. This guy's older brother is a high-ranking official in the Gathering Place. He often causes trouble but has never been punished.
On the contrary, anyone who gets into a conflict with him ends up being ostracized for a long time, and some even get secretly sabotaged.
The Captain is just protecting you.
If you feel aggrieved, then quickly level up. When you can overpower them, this injustice will naturally be avenged."
As he said this, he also looked indignant, but there was nothing he could do.
Gu Qinghan seemed to ask casually:
"Even if he provokes public anger by doing this, nothing will happen to him?"
He Jianan shook his head and said helplessly:
"This guy has a good sense of proportion; he rarely takes the initiative to fight, and even if he does, he only targets one person, so the situation you're talking about doesn't exist."
Gu Qinghan nodded, then stopped speaking, just silently watching the strong man who was still cutting in line.
A few seconds later, the strong man suddenly erupted in red light and rushed towards a Professional.
Fortunately, that Professional seemed to be a Shield Guard; he blocked the attack and cursed:
"What are you doing? I didn't say anything when you cut in line! And you still want to fight!"
However, the strong man landed, clutching his head, and roared:
"Damn it, it's not that I want to fight! My skill released itself!
And my head hurts so much, it's like someone's drilling into my brain!"
He clutched his head and squatted down directly, making everyone around look over.
Suddenly, this guy activated the Berserker's displacement skill again, crashing into a female Professional nearby.
At this, the female Professional's face instantly turned pale with fright.
She was holding a simple staff, clearly a squishy class, and couldn't withstand such an impact.
Immediately, her companion pulled her away, barely dodging the attack.
"Du Yong, have you gone crazy!"
Someone in the crowd knew the strong man's name and immediately cursed at him.
However, Du Yong completely ignored them. He clutched his head, his face full of pain, while pale-facedly explaining something.
But at this moment, no one would believe his words. Skills releasing themselves?
How could that be? How come they had never encountered such a situation?
Du Yong's team members behind him also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to help him up.
Before they could get close, Du Yong suddenly struck one of his teammates, his axe almost splitting the other's abdomen open.
"Quick, call My older brother over, I can't control myself!"
Du Yong was instantly panicked when he saw his attack severely injure his unprepared teammate.
He wanted to help his teammate up, but found the latter running away, covering his wound with a terrified expression.
At the same time, this guy was shouting:
"The Captain is turning into one of those monsters! Help! He's going to kill me!"
In an instant, the surrounding crowd all scattered backwards, even abandoning the line.
"What the hell are you talking about! There's no such thing!
I just can't control my skills, it's not like I've lost my mind."
When Gu Qinghan heard his words, he increased the output of the Mental Toxin.
Immediately, Du Yong roared like a mad beast, then violently pounded the ground, his expression as painful as could be.
At this, everyone felt that Du Yong was definitely going to turn into one of those neither-human-nor-ghost guys from before.
"Where are the Patrol Team and the combat team members! Come and kill him quickly!"
"He's from the combat team, and he seems to be Level 17!"
"He doesn't seem to have fully transformed into that thing yet, let's all go together and take him down!"
As a somewhat abrupt voice rang out, the surrounding Professionals immediately fell silent.
The next moment, this group of people all drew their weapons and rushed towards Du Yong, who was clutching his head and rolling on the ground.
He Jianan looked inside at this moment and asked Yang Tianci:
"Captain, should we go too? This counts as maintaining order in the Gathering Place."
Yang Tianci hesitated slightly, then nodded heavily.
However, before he could take a step, he saw a figure quickly rushing towards Du Yong.
"Kong Yan? That kid runs so fast?"
