Chapter 1118: Chapter 668: The Pact of the Taboo (Part 3)
This is the first time the old folks in Taboo Land No. 002 feel so guilty.
Just think about it, Qing Chen has been training knights over there, in the future there’ll be at least fifty or sixty of them, this freaking number is terrifying, even if we dig everything out here, we can’t find that many Taboos.
Unless we call Uncle Li Dong back and let Ding Dong, Gudong, Uncle Li Dong, the Knight Courier, Vermilion Bird, and Qing Shan Falcon all raid the Contraindicated courts.
Otherwise, where are they going to find that many Taboos?
The old folks are a bit flustered!
Qing Chen confirmed, “So, as long as they become knights, there will be Taboos as a greeting gift, right?”
“Ah this!”
“The person just now doesn’t represent all of us!”
“Not everyone needs an item…”
Qing Chen raised an eyebrow, “A knight doesn’t even have a single Taboo, if this gets out, others will think our Knight Organization is poor. There must be Taboos, one per person!”
Qin Sheng sighed, “You just focus on training them, I’ll try my best to help you find Taboos… Currently, Taboo Land No. 002 doesn’t have that many Taboos to give you.”
Qing Chen curiously asked, “For hundreds of years, so many explorers have died in Taboo Land No. 002, your stash must be huge, right? Where did you hide them? Let me find them.”
“Don’t mess around, when it’s time to give you, we’ll naturally give you!” an old fellow said.
Qin Sheng said, “How about this, now only two people really care, one is Li Ke, and the other is Jinguji Maki, and they already have their Taboos. I’ll give you one more, you can give it to Hu Xiaoniu. For the rest… we’ll think of a way.”
The old folks suddenly felt a bit aggrieved.
They’ve dominated Taboo Land No. 002 for hundreds of years, and now there’s a day when their pockets are empty, they can’t take this grievance!
“Gudong, each Taboo Land has killed countless, surely there are explorers who brought in Taboos, quickly organize your subjects for a carpet search, find all the peculiar human relics for us, we’ll pick out the Taboos from them.”
Gudong scratched his head, “There aren’t that many Taboos in the Taboo Land, right?”
“Then go conquer a few more Taboo Lands!”
To ordinary people, Taboo Lands are places of great danger.
According to rough estimates by Hu’s Information Agency, since the New Human Era began a thousand years ago, there have been at least 2,000 Transcendents above B-Class within the Federation, certainly at least two per year, given such a long time.
However, Hu’s Institution only registered over 300 Taboos.
Where did the rest go? Either they were collected by someone, or the hosts died with their Taboos in the Taboo Lands, leaving them behind.
At this point, explorers can entirely search for treasures in Taboo Lands based on the principle that Taboos are indestructible. Once a Taboo is found, financial freedom is at hand.
And for this task, Gudong is of course the most suitable, as he isn’t bound by rules and has the racial talents of the King of All Beasts.
Gudong said, “Alright, I’ll set off tomorrow…”
Qing Chen smiled, this was exactly the outcome he desired.
The Daytime Organization and the Knight Organization want to change this world, how could the old folks just comfortably sit in their Taboo Lands, everyone needs to get moving!
Qin Sheng asked, “What’s your plan next?”
Qing Chen thought for a moment and responded, “Stay here with Ding Dong, then go kill someone in City 10.”
…
…
Inside City 10.
Eight young people hid in an alleyway in the Fourth District. Someone glanced at their watch and said, “Why hasn’t that old guy come out yet, it’s been two hours already, even if he’s meeting a mistress, it doesn’t need to be this long. I thought tracking him and keeping track of his movements would be easy, but it turned out to be so time-consuming. Hey, Li Chao, why don’t you go and plead with Sun Chu Ci, after all, we’re just buying fruits with money, why not make some when there’s cash to be made.”
“I’m not going,” said Li Chao, who used to be part of Sun Chu Ci’s team, with his head down, “If I’d gone with him to the Agricultural College back then, maybe I wouldn’t be doing these hard tasks now.”
“What are you thinking about,” a new friend said with a smile, “Even if they went to the Agricultural College, they wouldn’t get many benefits, the college wouldn’t allow them to privately enjoy such precious things. Don’t overthink it, once we finish this task, we’ll go celebrate at the ‘Whoever Doesn’t Get Drunk Tonight is a Dog’ bar.”
Li Chao thought for a moment and said, “Alright, there’s a pretty dancer there.”
“Haha, if you want to date the dancers there, you’d have to spend quite a bit,” the new friend said softly.
At this moment, in the dirty and garbage-filled alley, someone suddenly said, “Do any of you feel… like those two little mice in the corner are sizing us up?”
“Are the rats in the Fourth District no longer afraid of humans?” Someone picked up a beer can on the ground and threw it, but the two little mice just dodged aside and continued to size them up, with no fear at all.
“That’s strange,” Li Chao said.
For some reason, he felt very uncomfortable, those two little mice didn’t seem purely curious… rather more like they were examining prey.
A girl said, “A few days ago, when I was doing a college task and went to the Third District, I found it much better than where we live, clean and hygienic, and the security seems pretty good. Why don’t we move there?”
The new friend laughed, “How’s that possible, the filth and chaos of the Third District are notorious.”
Li Chao interrupted, “Stop talking for a moment, I feel something’s not right, the target we’ve been tracking has been upstairs too long, either something’s happened or he’s discovered us. What do we do, should we go upstairs to take a look? I know where his mistress lives.”
The few new friends shook their heads, “Our task is just to track, let’s not take such risks.”
Li Chao frowned, at times like this, Sun Chu Ci would have probably taken the responsibility of being the team leader, doing the dangerous tasks himself.
But now it’s different, no one is willing to stand up anymore.
Li Chao sighed, “You all wait here, I’ll go take a look.”
He took the elevator to the 10th floor and quietly walked towards room 1023. But as soon as he reached the door, he noticed something was wrong, there was fresh blood slowly seeping out from inside.
Li Chao immediately kicked the door open, and saw the gang leader and his mistress lying in a pool of blood, with three palm-sized rats on them, suddenly looking up at him.
The eyes of those rats didn’t show fear, just as before, Li Chao was scrutinized by them as if he were prey!
Li Chao slowly backed away, but the rats didn’t attack him, instead, they turned and disappeared into the dark crevices of the room, whereabouts unknown.
