Master Changsheng

Chapter 13: The Dead Dog and the Mage

I brought Reed along because the membership card transfer required the cardholder's personal presence.

This is also why Hanks said you can't force someone.

Unfortunately, this regulation was practically meaningless for Ankai.

Three hundred days later, upon entering the city again, An Kai was still captivated by the spotless streets.

It's hard to imagine that in this chaotic city, the city lord is actually a germaphobe.

Hanks led the way, guiding Ankai and Reed along the right side of the street.

The streets of Chaos City are about twenty meters wide in diameter.

The only roads available for residents to walk on are the two sides of the street, which together have a diameter of less than two meters.

The remaining street locations are reserved for powerful individuals within Chaos City.

Following Hanks for a few minutes, Ankai saw several carriages rushing past.

According to Hanks, these carriages represent powerful factions within Chaos City.

In this Chaos City, apart from the city lord's faction, there are four forces that dominate the city.

These four forces have both manpower and resources, and they are also partners of the Bounty Tower.

Over the years, I don't know how many bounty missions have been completed for the Bounty Tower.

Similarly, they were raking in the bounty rewards.

A bed made of magic stones, a golden house cast in gold...

Hanks's boasting filled Ankai with longing...

"If they steal this, think of how many resource points I could get!"

Led by Hanks, the three finally arrived at the bounty tower.

The bounty tower is over 50 meters tall, a 10-story building, with two silver stone pillars over 20 meters high standing in front of it!

In front of the silver pillar, a team of forty professionals stood guard, while dozens of scantily clad hostesses stood at the entrance of the Bounty Tower, waiting for members to arrive.

All of this was shocking to An Kai.

Especially those two silver pillars, each over twenty meters high and about three meters wide, made An Kai's eyes light up!

"That's a whopping number of skill points!"

If it weren't for the large number of professional guards and the uncertainty about whether he could escape Chaos City.

Ankai had already stolen the two silver pillars in front of the door...

"Kid, don't even think about it. The leaders of the four major powers in Chaos City are all second-tier experts. Even they wouldn't dare to act recklessly here!"

"You're just a Tier 1... don't even think about it!" Hanks was about to say Tier 1, Level 1, but then he thought again, Ankai is definitely not some Tier 1, Level 1 kid...

Ankai withdrew his lingering gaze and was pulled by Hanks to transfer his membership card.

During the transfer process, the bounty office asked Reed five times whether it was voluntary.

He even went so far as to say that the bounty hunters would stand up for him.

But the moment Reed saw Ankai's smiling, treacherous face, he chickened out...

The bounty poster is making decisions for itself; it's uncertain whether An Kai will survive.

But he knew that if he nodded, that guy would shove that damned iron sword into his head!

Ultimately, after weighing the pros and cons, Reed transferred his membership card with a balance of 0 to Ankai.

The transfer was a close call, but ultimately without major incident.

Of course, this is for Reed…

Ankai didn't care what Reed was thinking at all. Since Reed dared to betray him, he should be prepared to live in the Bounty Tower for the rest of his life!

No, not for a lifetime. At my current cultivation speed, it won't be long before I can kill Reed, who's hiding in the bounty tower...

Fortunately, Reed was sensible.

This saved Ankai from the ordeal of enduring hardship and biding his time...

After the transaction was completed, Ankai and Hanks chased Reed away and headed towards the bounty board.

In the Bounty Tower, there is a bounty list arranged according to the value of the reward.

When Ankai and Hanks arrived, they ran into the Kaishan Gang, one of the four major powers in the city, who were submitting a bounty.

The leader was nearly 2.5 meters tall, and his entire body was covered in lumps of flesh.

He was still holding a spiked club covered in dark brown marks in his hand!

"That's Zhan Lang, the leader of the Resource Hall of the Kaishan Gang."

"A first-tier, eighth-level knight, unfortunately, his mount was taken by their gang leader for a meal."

Hanks' explanation surprised Ankai.

He then felt relieved; this was the style that Chaos City was all about…

The previously spotless Chaos City, with its many rules, almost made An Kai think it was a gathering place for kind-hearted people.

Behind the burly man was a guy who looked like a dead dog, being dragged along by his men.

After exchanging a few words with the aloof beauty at the bar, the burly man dragged the man, who looked like a dead dog, to the bar.

He grabbed the man's hair, revealing a youthful face: "Look at this guy, he's definitely on the bounty list!"

The beautiful woman at the bar, perhaps used to this kind of scene, only glanced at it a few times before replying with certainty, "No."

"What?! Impossible!"

The burly man seemed unable to accept it and suddenly shouted.

The beautiful woman at the bar became visibly impatient as the burly man's voice grew louder!

"No noise allowed here!"

boom!

Suddenly, a loud shout appeared out of nowhere!

Immediately following, the burly man knelt down as if he were carrying a thousand loads of pressure!

The teeth made a grinding sound from rubbing together…

"Lv9 Earth Spell: Gravity Vortex!"

Ankai recognized the spell that had defeated the strong man.

His gaze passed over the beautiful women at the bar and landed on a mage holding a staff made of magic stone, topped with a brownish-brown gem that exuded the aura of earth magic, and wearing a robe embroidered with gold threads!

The monk had a nameplate on his chest that read "First Rank, Ninth Level"!

This lavish appearance is exactly what An Kai envisioned a mage to look like!

famous!

My eyes are red!

If things weren't so hopeless, An Kai wouldn't hesitate for a second; he would have stripped that mage naked!

Perhaps sensing Ankai's predatory gaze, the earth mage slightly turned his head and looked in Ankai's direction...

"Lower your head!"

Hanks gave a soft shout, and Ankai quickly snapped back to his senses, immediately lowering his head.

That's how I avoided making eye contact with that monk.

A moment later, a cold "Get lost" came from the beautiful woman behind the bar.

The burly man, supported by his men, fled in a disheveled state.

The green-faced man, looking like a dead dog, had already slipped away when the burly man suffered the loss…

Only after Kai Shan and the others left did Hanks take Ankai to the bar to look for suitable bounty missions.

"Don't even think about it. That person is one of the four mages enshrined by the Bounty Tower. He is at the ninth level of the first rank. He is not someone you can fathom."

"If the old man were here, maybe he could..."

Hanks noticed Ankai's somber expression.

He thought Ankai had been struck by the mage's power.

Little did anyone know, what An Kai was really thinking about was how long he would need to cultivate before he could borrow that dazzling outfit.

And why is his mage's nameplate different from the one the old guild master gave him...?

"Kid! You're really lucky! This bounty mission is pretty good!"
