Chapter 1878 - 1877: Deer Beast Meat? Sick of It!

"What?!!"

Ling was utterly bewildered and said, "Say that again? Weren’t you the ones who were about to fail in defending the gate and asked me to help you?"

"No, no, the third wave of attack has begun. Young Master Qin saw there was no response from your side, so he let the enemy charge in and destroyed the Life Tower along the way. Young Master Qin fears the Crystal Tower might also be destroyed, affecting his final rating, so he sent us with some people to help you..."

Wan Shi explained.

"..."

Ling heard this, and his mind went blank.

He hurriedly took out the sand table to examine carefully, only then realized it was indeed his side that had a problem, his Life Tower was destroyed!

Turns out he accidentally fell asleep while resting earlier...

"Damn it!!"

Ling was filled with resentment, his eyes bloodshot, his face haggard.

Even Wan Shi and the others couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for him when they saw his state.

"Um... Young Master Ling, listen to our advice and follow Young Master Qin, just like us. At the moment, only he has the greatest hope." Wan Shi advised.

"Get lost!!"

Ling shouted in distress.

The four of them sighed helplessly, shook their heads, and were about to leave.

At this moment.

Ling hurriedly called them back, his eyes lighting up with excitement: "Wait a moment!"

"Oh? Young Master Ling, you’ve made up your mind?" asked the four.

"No! I’m here to advise you to break away from that Qin Feng and assist me." Ling said.

"..."

The four were instantly at a loss, as if they’d heard the world’s funniest joke.

"Young Master Ling, we’re not trying to discourage you, but today your Life Tower was destroyed, meaning... you’ve fallen to ’Level 1 Frenzy’ as well." Wan Shi said awkwardly. "However, Young Master Qin defended against the ’Second-level Frenzy’ today and received three S ratings. Tomorrow is ’Level 3’ Frenzy."

"I know."

Ling nodded, then added, "But you clearly know that the reason for his success is money. Yet as you’ve been here longer, you should also know that the battle of defending Sky Termination City is like a bottomless pit; no amount of money is sufficient, especially as the assault surges get more severe, right?"

"According to my earlier prediction, his funds should be nearly exhausted, and he’ll start plummeting tomorrow."

"I’m different."

"I’ve fallen to ’Level 1 Frenzy’ not because of lack of funds, but I have Talent Power!"

"As long as you support me with Spirit Stones like before, my Talent Power can make my soldiers stronger and keep charging forward!"

"So, you should return to the shore sooner!"

"..."

Ling said with great seriousness.

The four felt embarrassed, then said, "Young Master Ling, actually... you’ve always misunderstood Young Master Qin. He’s not just about money; spend some time with him, and you’ll understand..."

"I understand!"

Ling, looking as though he knew everything, patting Wan Shi on the shoulder, said, "I get it; he gave you plenty of food and treats you well, right? Don’t worry, I was a bit harsh with you earlier; that’s my fault for not knowing better. I promise it won’t happen again; to show my sincerity, you can take a look at this."

As he said this.

He took out a Qiankun Bag and let them take a look inside.

"Haha, I noticed when you were eating the other day; Qin Feng gave you over a dozen Deer Beast Meats, so you’re grateful to him, right? But in here, there’s a hundred Deer Beast Meats, enough for us to feast on and enjoy until the end of the defending task."

Ling said proudly.

He worked hard all these days just for this moment.

Now he could finally persuade them to his side.

The comeback was imminent!!

Unexpectedly.

Ling was feeling smug inside when he suddenly saw Wan Shi and the others bent over, retching, almost throwing up. They hurriedly returned the Qiankun Bag to him, looking extremely disdainful.

"What’s wrong?"

Ling was puzzled, so he opened the Qiankun Bag and checked; there was no problem, nothing spoiled. In the past, this succulent Deer Beast Meat should have been mouthwatering, but why the change?

Wan Shi patted his chest, frowning with a pained expression, said to Ling, "Young Master Ling, we’re sick of this stuff."

"What?? Sick of it??"

Ling was utterly bewildered, "Stop joking, we used to buy one from the Ghost Lady and save it carefully."

"It’s true."

Beside him, Yin Shou also wore a bitter face and said, "These days, Young Master Qin has given us heaps of Deer Beast Meat, eaten for days, and we can’t swallow any more. Now, whenever we see Deer Beast Meat, we feel like throwing up, let alone with your large stash..."

"We were starving before, so Deer Beast Meat tasted great, but after tasting other things, we realized it’s truly awful." Fu Mo added.

"Whatever we eat now, it’s not Deer Beast Meat." Black Dragon chimed in.

"What?!!"

Ling felt as if thunder struck him on a clear day, standing in place stunned.

All these days, unable to sleep, daytime defending and fighting, nighttime working with Qin Feng tirelessly, nearly breaking down; all of the effort utterly wasted??

Damn it!!

"Then what are you eating if not Deer Beast Meat?"

Ling asked blankly.

"Didn’t I tell you before? Young Master Qin has a special ability in Sky Termination City to make anything we want." Wan Shi said, pulling out a Qiankun Bag filled with roasted chicken wings, braised fish, braised pork belly, etc., said, "Haha, we’re eating this."

"..."

Ling saw those delicious dishes and couldn’t help but swallow.

"There’s also fine wine."

Yin Shou took out a bottle of wine, sipping happily.

"..."

Ling felt even more distressed.

No wonder Qin Feng wasn’t interested in Deer Beast Meat; he had access to better cuisine.

It’s infuriating, all the days of busy effort for nothing!

At that moment.

Ling had a suicidal impulse, life felt unbearably vexing...

"If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave now."

Wan Shi said.

As the four were about to turn, Ling called them back in frustration, saying, "No matter what, you can’t abandon victory for the sake of food, forsake your ideals, right? He may have good food, but I have Talent Power; following me leads to success!"

"No."

Wan Shi stopped, turned back, looking serious, said, "Actually, we meant to say, you’ve always misunderstood Young Master Qin; he’s not just wealthy, but... he’s very strong!"

"That’s right; we’re increasingly convinced that following him is the only path to victory."

Yin Shou, Fu Mo, and Black Dragon added, their expressions serious.
