A beautiful and wealthy widow

The Goblin race, strictly speaking, is a variant branch of Goblins.

Although their status in Eternal is slightly higher than that of the regular Goblin race,

they are equally notorious for being despicable and greedy.

At this moment, this despicableness and greed were being fully displayed by Sar Xi.

"One billion gold coins? You have the guts to ask for it, but do you have the life to take it?"

Chen Ming spoke with a cold sneer.

He never claimed to be a friend of justice; when it came to getting what he wanted,

he would spare no means, even if it meant killing.

"You... do you want to rob me?"

Sar Xi was terrified by Chen Ming's sudden movement, his heart pounding.

As a variant branch of the Goblins, the Goblins were not only greedy but also extremely cowardly.

"I'll give you two choices right now!"

"First, hand over the ring, and I'll give you one million gold coins as compensation."

"Second, I'll kill you with one arrow right now, and from now on, I'll kill you every time I see you."

Chen Ming's voice wasn't loud, but his words contained an unquestionable coldness.

A terrifying killing intent permeated the air around him.

Sar Xi shook with fear. Under extreme terror, he respectfully and humbly handed the ring to Chen Ming: "My Lord, this ring is yours."

[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the item — Mysterious Ring (???)]

As Chen Ming took the ring, a notification popped up before his eyes.

After giving the 1 million gold coins to Sar Xi as promised, Chen Ming turned and left immediately.

As for retaliation?

The Goblins were notorious for bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

He believed Sar Xi wouldn't dare seek revenge.

Of course, if Sar Xi really did gather the Goblins to retaliate against him, he would be even happier.

After all, in Eternal, there was a very special hidden title — Race Destroyer.

This was a very powerful God-level title.

The prerequisite for obtaining this title was to destroy a civilized race single-handedly.

"It would be best if he brings people to seek revenge on me."

While muttering under his breath, a smile involuntarily tugged at the corners of Chen Ming's mouth.

He had coveted the [Race Destroyer] title for a long time.

If Sar Xi retaliated, he could use the opportunity to sacrifice and destroy the Goblin race to obtain that title.

...

"My Lord, your item has been appraised."

Myriad Beast City, Tiansheng Merchant Guild.

A rabbit-eared girl dressed in a maid uniform respectfully handed the ring to the young man.

The young man was clad in armor with a longbow on his back. He was very handsome and exuded a unique aura.

The young man was none other than Chen Ming.

The moment he got the [Mysterious Ring], he went to the Tiansheng Merchant Guild for appraisal.

After appraisal, the original Mysterious Ring had indeed become the [Thorn Ring].

[Thorn Ring]

[Level: 20.]

[Quality: Platinum-grade.]

[Durability: 1050/1050 points.]

[All Stats: +15 points.]

[physical attack: +1%.]

[magic attack power: +1%.]

[Special Effect: Shield of Thorns (Equipment Active Effect): Upon activation, gain an energy shield with a value of 100,000 points.]

[Description: A hereditary token of the Thorn Family. Compared to its effects, its symbolic significance is even greater.]

...

"This is it!"

A smile appeared on Chen Ming's face.

This ring was the key to obtaining a city building token.

With this thought, Chen Ming turned and left the Tiansheng Merchant Guild.

"Wait!"

Just then, the cat-eared girl suddenly called out to Chen Ming.

"Something the matter?" Chen Ming frowned slightly.

"This is my contact information. If you feel lonely at night, My Lord, you can contact me."

The cat-eared girl's face flushed red as she secretly stuffed a slip of paper into Chen Ming's hand before leaving.

"Interesting!"

Watching the cat-eared girl's seductive figure as she walked away, a smile played on Chen Ming's lips.

He wasn't a saint who could remain unmoved with a beauty in his arms.

However, someone of this level couldn't catch his eye.

Chen Ming casually tore the paper into pieces, threw it into the trash, and walked away.

Ten minutes later, Chen Ming arrived outside a luxurious hotel and waited quietly.

A moment later, a graceful and beautiful lady walked out of the hotel.

She wore a long, bright red dress and had a dignified posture. Although she was older, she still possessed a lingering charm, especially her proud peaks, which made it hard for one to look away.

In short, she was a mature woman to the extreme.

Both her looks and her figure could score over nine out of ten.

[Daenerys Thorn, Lv52.]

"She finally appeared!"

Looking at the beautiful lady nearby, a smile curved on Chen Ming's lips.

This Lady Daenerys was the famous head of the Thorn Family in Eternal.

She was not only immensely wealthy but also held a high status, with her influence spanning the entire Land of Collapse.

However, her husband had died mysteriously on their wedding day, and by now, the grass on his grave was several meters high.

Simply put, Lady Daenerys was the wealthiest and most beautiful widow in all of Eternal.

Not only rich, but... beautiful!

Who wouldn't want to take a bite of such a sweet treat?

Who wouldn't want to live off such a delicious 'soft rice' meal?

It could be said that Lady Daenerys had countless suitors in Eternal.

Unfortunately, Daenerys had always been cold and indifferent to all her suitors.

Over the years, no one had ever been heard of successfully winning her over.

Because of this, many people secretly speculated that Lady Daenerys actually liked women instead of men.

This had led many female players to pursue her aggressively,

but they were equally unsuccessful.

At this moment, Chen Ming stared at Lady Daenerys, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

This was because, in his memory, that rare-grade [city building token] was precisely in Daenerys's hands.

In his previous life, during the later stages, this famous widow of Eternal used that rare-grade [city building token] to establish a main city exclusive to the Thorn Family.

Unfortunately, as the creator of the main city, Daenerys was eventually forcibly kicked out by the Thorn Family,

and the city she built was essentially handed over to others.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming walked straight toward Daenerys.

"Halt, who are you?"

A level 120 female assassin quietly appeared, blocking Chen Ming's path.

Chen Ming ignored the female assassin, looked at Daenerys, and said with a smile, "Respected Lady Daenerys, I see sorrow on your face. Are you troubled by something? Perhaps I can help you."

"Oh?"

Daenerys sized Chen Ming up.

She was certain she had never seen this young man before, but for some reason, the moment she saw Chen Ming, she felt an uncontrollable sense of familiarity.
