295: Jing Ke and Prince Dan

The Seamstress sneered sinisterly, “When Han Huohuo entered the secret chamber, that cabinet was clearly hidden by concealment magic. Why did it suddenly make a sound?”

The little girl in red lowered her head, her face full of grievance, but she stubbornly refused to admit, “I don’t know.”

The Seamstress flicked his sleeve and left, seemingly very displeased.

After he left, the little girl made a face behind his back, her eyes full of cunning.

A voice came from the void, “Don’t think I won’t touch you. Don’t go against me again, little girl, you are too naive.”

The little girl thought, *I’m tens of thousands of years older than you,* but she didn’t dare to say it. After a long while, she finally managed to blurt out, “How would I dare!” Then she muttered, “You’re so fierce.”

….

Han Huohuo built a new city on the ruins of Phoenix City. He disliked the previous name and changed it to Red Mountain City.

Although the Northeast was conquered in the name of the Great Qian Empire, this city still belonged to Han Huohuo as his private city.

He built a semi-military fortress that combined planting and mining. Because there was a huge mountain range not far away with many wild beasts, livestock farming was also possible here.

In the middle of the night, Han Xin went to sleep. Han Huohuo worked alone, only building a city wall and a few civilian houses. In the dead of night, Mu Jiu was still resting in Tongtian City. Han Huohuo didn’t call Mu Jiu to get up; this girl had been a bit tired these past few days, with too many cities needing her attention.

By then, ten cities had been completed.

The system immediately gave a prompt.

【Congratulations, you have built ten cities and completed God Core Mission Two. Please continue to complete the God Core series of missions.】

【God Core Mission Three: Kill a boss above Tier Nine.】

Ding!

【Congratulations, you have successfully killed a Tier Nine boss and completed God Core Mission Three. All God Core missions have been completed.】

Han Huohuo took out the previously damaged God Core, which began to glow, returning to its original state and becoming a complete version.

This mission was too difficult. The hardest part was actually the third mission, killing a Tier Nine BOSS, which was simply beyond human capability. But Han Huohuo was lucky; he actually cooperated with Northern Darkness and managed to kill a Tier Nine Zerg.

Luck!

Unexpectedly, the core material for the Armory’s upgrade had been obtained. Now, there were not enough radioactive elements, so he had to wait.

【Congratulations, you have leveled up to Level 61!】

【Ding! Luck activated! You gained a new skill upon leveling up. Please choose one from the following skills: Intermediate Meditation & Advanced Leadership.】

Luck activated again, but these two skills made Han Huohuo quite conflicted.

Both were excellent skills. Meditation increased mental power, and Leadership increased his bonus to troops.

After hesitating for a long time, Han Huohuo chose Meditation.

【Intermediate Meditation】: Mental power increased by 200%.

This was an increase based on basic mental power. Since leveling up increased basic mental power, he checked and found that his mental power had just broken through 5000 points. This meant he could now simultaneously control fifty divine artifacts in battle.

Command ability was important, but sometimes, Han Huohuo felt that personal combat power was also very important, especially when moving towards the high end.

He still remembered fighting almost the entire Zerg army alone with his spear under the starry sky. He was incredibly fierce back then.

Of course, it could also be that the mecha and spear were too powerful.

His mindset was also gradually changing. Before, he would rather die than go to the battlefield, but unknowingly, he also began to become a fierce man.

Unfortunately, the experience from destroying the Angel Kingdom was not counted for him.

Previously, when he destroyed the Undead Kingdom, he threw a bomb and directly blew up that kingdom, and all the experience was counted for him. But in the Angel Kingdom, he only opened a huge Chaos Rift inside. The Angel Kingdom was destroyed by Chaos, not directly by him, so the nature was different.

It was a bit of a pity.

This place was once the ancestral land of the Gongsun family, but now there was nothing left but desolation.

Red Mountain City, apart from a Main Camp, only had a simple tavern.

This was a tavern opened by an old man from the Great Qian Empire who was with the army. It was said that this old man was an old acquaintance of the Gongsun family. He felt a bit nostalgic for the Gongsun family. The old man didn’t sleep in the middle of the night and, seeing a new city being built here, opened a tavern.

It was a small wooden house temporarily built with branches, extremely simple. Han Huohuo’s subordinates were all mechas, with at most a few human Heroes, who had long since returned to rest, exhausted.

Han Huohuo greatly doubted where he would find customers.

But miraculously, there were indeed two guests tonight.

The tavern was lit by a dim oil lamp, and besides the owner, two people were sitting inside.

Han Huohuo pushed the door open and immediately saw these two people. The hero token in his embrace began to heat up.

One was a down-and-out noble young master, and the other was a sword-wielding commoner swordsman. The two knew each other, sat around a table, spoke quietly for a few moments, and then drank.

Han Huohuo approached and asked, “How should I address you?”

The noble young master’s clothes were worn but clean. He cupped his hands and said, “My humble self is Ji Dan. You can just call me Dan.”

At first, Han Huohuo misheard it as ‘Jidan’ (egg) and wondered why someone would have such a strange name, but he immediately realized it was the Ji surname, an ancient God’s surname.

“Ji Dan? I’ve heard of a famous young noble called Prince Dan of Yan?”

The noble young master smiled, “Indeed, that is I! It’s rare that Lord still knows my humble name.”

Han Huohuo chuckled. He looked at the stern swordsman next to him.

The swordsman cupped his hands, “My name is Jing Ke!”

As expected, Han Huohuo hadn’t guessed wrong. It was these two famous scoundrels, and he had actually met them here.

“Your illustrious names, I’ve long admired them. I see you two have nothing to do right now, so how about following me to achieve great things?”

Han Huohuo took out two hero tokens.

Prince Dan and Jing Ke exchanged glances, then stood up together and cupped their hands, “We are willing to follow Lord and conquer the world together.”

Having recruited two more fierce generals, Han Huohuo glanced at their attributes. One was for internal affairs, and the other was an assassin—very good.
