With two ninth-tier War Gods by his side, Zhang Pingfan felt no fear of losing anyone, even if they were to fall, with his god-tier skill of turning enemies into friends.
Upon arriving at Pingjiang City's equipment vault, Zhang Pingfan's eyes lit up.
It was no wonder that Haibin City had the fewest players among the three main cities.
It turned out their reserves were also the smallest.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Lord of Haibin City, look at the items in their equipment vault, and then look at yours. Aren't you ashamed?"
The Lord of Haibin City said with great humility, "Master, you are right to scold me. It's mainly because those two deliberately or inadvertently suppressed me, which led to the current situation in Haibin City!"
Zhang Pingfan shook his head. As a city lord, you're doing too poorly.
Zhang Pingfan was not polite either. The equipment vault of Pingjiang City Lord's Mansion was also plundered by Zhang Pingfan, leaving only a small number of equipment, which made the Lord of Pingjiang City's heart bleed.
No wonder the Lord of Hanbing City had that look in his eyes; he was clearly a cautionary tale for himself.
After the plundering, Zhang Pingfan was still not satisfied, because even now, the highest level of skill books he had collected was only of Yellow grade.
"Why are the skill books you two collected so poor?"
The Lord of Pingjiang City said, "These things are of little use to us. Unless one has a hobby in this area, they generally don't collect them!"
That made sense. After all, they were NPCs. Skill books were only useful for players; NPCs didn't seem to need them.
"Master, you should go to Qixing City. That guy's warehouse has quite a few skill books. He's an enthusiast in this regard!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded.
"How confident are you two against the Lord of Qixing City?"
The Lord of Pingjiang City was a little curious.
You are so terrifying and powerful, why are you asking us this question? You could just use the same move you used to subdue me to subdue the Lord of Qixing City.
"Master, that move just now was very powerful. We probably don't need to act!"
Zhang Pingfan certainly couldn't let him know that his skill had a 24-hour cooldown.
"The move I used to deal with you just now consumed a lot of my mental energy. I've already used it once, and I need to recover before I can use it again. So, this time, I'll have to trouble you two. It's not like you two combined are not his match, right? What's the point of keeping you then?"
The two looked panicked and quickly nodded.
"Master, don't worry. Let alone 2 vs. 1, even 1 vs. 1, the Lord of Qixing City might not be my match!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded with great satisfaction.
"Very good. Since we need to share the spoils, Qixing City is definitely not to be missed. Let's go and meet the Lord of Qixing City!"
Zhang Pingfan, accompanied by the two city lords, swaggered out of Pingjiang City.
When they appeared in Qixing City, the Lord of Qixing City had already received the news.
"What's going on? Those two actually take orders from a village chief?"
"Lord City Lord, that's how it is, but I'm not sure what happened in between."
"Alright, I know. I want to see what they're up to. Since they're here, let's go meet them!"
Well, as a city lord, he certainly has a strong demeanor. I wonder if he'll be able to say the same thing later.
In the conference hall of the Qixing City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Pingfan sat at the head of the table.
The two city lords stood behind him, not daring to speak.
Soon, the Lord of Qixing City arrived.
"The sudden visit of two city lords has really caught me off guard. I heard that the Lord of Pingjiang City obtained a treasure, the Seven-Star Pagoda. Are you here today to show off?"
Another Seven-Star Pagoda? Is it really something good?
"Lord of Pingjiang City, what quality is this Seven-Star Pagoda he mentioned? How could you fancy such a piece of junk?"
Junk? The Lord of Pingjiang City almost spat blood. He had worked so hard to get it. He thought he could shine with this item, but it was shattered into two pieces by your seemingly ordinary great sword and was directly rendered useless.
"Master, that Seven-Star Pagoda is of Saint grade!"
Saint grade???
Zhang Pingfan was greatly shocked. His great sword actually chopped up a Saint grade item? Is this Saint grade a shoddy product?
"You... are you sure?"
"Absolutely sure!"
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier? Saint grade, it could have sold for a lot of money!"
"Master, you didn't give me a chance to explain!"
Zhang Pingfan was filled with regret. He thought a glowing lantern couldn't be anything good. He didn't expect it to be Saint grade. Oh heavens, he had lost millions with that one sword strike.
What a spendthrift.
The Lord of Qixing City smiled.
"Oh, it's broken? Are the three of you here to make a fool of me? How could such a thing break so easily? Or do you three think I have some special magic treasure here?"
Zhang Pingfan said, "Not at all. I just heard that you are fond of collecting skills, of all levels, so I plan to do some plundering here!"
"Plundering? How audacious! Although I don't know how those two city lords ended up with you, if you want to take away the skills I've collected from me, you'll have to show me if you have the ability!"
Zhang Pingfan waved his hand.
"Then you two teach him what absolute strength is!"
Without a word, the two pounced.
The Lord of Haibin City didn't harbor much resentment in his heart, as he had been to Zhang Pingfan's courtyard and knew how terrifying the existences within were.
But it was different for the Lord of Pingjiang City. He had just been subdued and harbored a simmering rage in his heart. If he didn't release it, he might burst. Therefore, he transferred all his release targets to the Lord of Qixing City.
As soon as they engaged, the Lord of Pingjiang City unleashed a major attack, which greatly startled the Lord of Qixing City.
"Are you two truly desperate?"
"Nonsense, do you think we're here to cook? Hand over what the Master needs immediately, or you'll regret it today!"
"Master? Are you two crazy? Recognizing a village chief as your master? Are your brains alright?"
"We don't need you to teach us about such matters. If you don't hand over everything in the equipment vault immediately, you'll be doomed today!"
"Hmph, I'd like to see what you two can do to me today!"
The three of them began to fight. Zhang Pingfan watched them quietly.
He wasn't afraid of the Lord of Haibin City and the Lord of Pingjiang City betraying him; he was afraid that the Lord of Qixing City wouldn't last long.
You have to say, the fights between NPCs are indeed more pleasing to the eye than those of players.
Anyway, the player battles Zhang Pingfan had witnessed so far were all skill bombardments, with no real aesthetic value. Of course, some high-level players were certainly different; they had their own techniques, otherwise, how could they become high-level players?
But the three city lords before him were different; their battles were dazzling.
Zhang Pingfan ate sunflower seeds, enjoying the spectacle as if watching a movie.
"Punch!"
"Kick his butt, kick his butt!"
"Oh, what a pity, he blocked it. Use your ultimate move!"
