Chapter 423: New Players’ Flattery
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After introducing the infantry and the firearm division, the image on the cloud was switched back to the grassland, where the two-meter tall blue ox was killed by a 30cm red-eyed rabbit.
However, the image was now showing a strong Golden Condor with a wingspan of over 10m. Its feathers glimmered in the sunlight like gold, and its claws looked as tough as metal ones.
Whoosh!
From thousands of meters up in the air, it pounced down at the red-eyed demon rabbit that was still casually gnawing at its “grass” next to the blue ox, which was barely breathing.
Whoosh!
When the head of the Golden Condor was 500m above the ground, the demon rabbit seemed to sense something. It looked up at the sky, and its red eyes shone brightly.
It then squeaked.
The next moment, it sprang away like a dot of red light.
It had to. It was at Extraordinary and was able to take a much bigger Extraordinary Rank 3 ox only by surprise.
Even if it was a carnivore now, it was still a rabbit. Instinct made it afraid of a bird of prey.
Moreover, because the Golden Condor was Ji Ye’s contracted creature, it was also considered an official member of Dragon City. After the advancement test, it obtained a lot of resources as well and had reached Extraordinary Rank 7.
While running, the demon rabbit took advantage of its tiny frame and picked its way through the herds of cattle gathered together by the Black Armor Wolves. It moved so fast that one could only see a dot of red light.
But the Golden Condor was faster. Golden Condors were suspected to have the bloodline of the Gold-Winged Eagle, and in the Journey to the West, the Gold-Winged Eagle was the only creature that could move faster than the Monkey King riding the cloud.
The image showed the Golden Condor flitting across the air like a golden shooting arrow. It was following the red dot closely.
Clang!
Since the herbivores were in their way, the head of the Golden Condor made a loud cry and created a gust of blue wind with its giant wings. The wind sent all the cattle rolling on the ground, and the scene was much more impressive than what the Extraordinary Rank 3 blue ox did just then.
After that, it grabbed the rabbit on the back with its claws and flew back up without any pause.
Caught by the claws, the demon rabbit stared at the Golden Condor and opened its mouth that was still stained with the blue ox’s blood. It then tried to bite off the Golden Condor’s legs.
Clang!
However, golden light glowed on the Golden Condor’s legs first, and the rabbit looked as if it had bitten down on an iron plate.
The condor’s claws easily pierced through the rabbit’s body, and the image showed it tearing the rabbit into pieces when it flew up into the sky.
“That’s so scary!”
“That rabbit killed the blue ox, but the Golden Condor killed the rabbit almost instantly.”
“The difference in the levels of creatures in the Land of Inheritance is so incredible!”
Needless to say, the intimidating Golden Condor had astonished the new players.
The rabbit was already a monster in their eyes, but it couldn’t put up a fight against the Golden Condor.
“This Commander-level Golden Condor belongs to the Golden Condor Camp of Dragon City and is a contracted creature of the master of the city!”
That was Su Nongying.
“The City Master has a contracted creature. Is his talent skill contract related?”
“I have no idea. According to the forum, no one knows the talent ability, the level, and the profile of the master of Dragon City yet.”
“Some people say that his talent skill has something to do with healing, while other people say that he can analyze the structures of objects. But now, here’s also the ‘Contract’ ability!”
“But one thing is for sure. He’s at least a Perfect player and may even be of the Legendary type, which is said to have been achieved by only a few beta testers!”
The thought made some of the new players pale a little, while others were deep in their thoughts.
“Golden Condor Camp?”
Other players were intrigued by that name.
“The Golden Condor Camp belongs to the Sky Troop. Commanders Yan Qing and Hua Rong are in charge of it!”
The image changed, showing over a dozen smaller Golden Condors flying above the giant one.
Further above flew Yan Qing with his blue wings formed by his Battle Aura and holding his golden bow. Hua Rong had his Invisible Bow on his back and was riding an Extraordinary white horse that had wings.
“They’re Hua Rong ‘the Little Li Guang’ and Yan Qing ‘the Prodigal’!”
“Wow! Brother Yan’s wings are awesome!”
“The Golden Condor Camp? That sounds even more capable than the wolves! Will they recruit new members?”
One had to admit that Yan Qing and Hua Rong were two of the most handsome heroes of Liangshan. They were much more pleasing to the eye than Lu Zhishen, who looked almost as big as King Kong, and Wu Song, who had such a fierce look that he reminded people of a fiend.
Moreover, Hua Rong was an expert in spear fighting and archery, and Yan Qing had many talents. They would go very far if they participated in talent shows on Earth.
“I need to remind you all that all Golden Condors in the camp are Extraordinary and irritable creatures. Please don’t approach them without permission, because they’re even more aggressive than the creatures of the grassland!”
Su Nongying didn’t need to say that, because the way the condor wolfed down that rabbit just then was enough to scare away a lot of people.
After the Sky Troop, the only division that the military parade had yet to show was the navy.
“The navy of Dragon City includes the Water Demon Battalion, Dragon Tooth Battalion, and Snapping Dragon Turtle Battalion. The three Ruan Brothers and Commander Ling Cao are in charge of it!”
Compared to the Sky Troop that had only over a dozen Golden Condors and had to depend on the two heroes, the navy was much bigger.
The three advanced warships with Extraordinary or even Transcendent power were enough to amaze the people who had entered the Land of Inheritance for the first time.
The crowd stirred even more when they saw the handsome Zhou Yu on the Guqin Ship. He wore a casual white robe and was playing the musical instrument.
“Zhou Yu!”
“The handsome general!”
The discussion among the new players grew louder than that of all the Liangshan heroes put together, and most of them were women.
It was understandable. Of all the historical figures of Chidragon, Zhou Yu was definitely good enough to be a modern-day idol. Only people like Nanlan Rongruo and Li Yu were comparable.
“Zhou Yu is so good-looking. He’s more attractive than Yan Qing and Hua Rong put together!”
“I heard that Zhou Yu was a quick learner of modern knowledge. That means that when we become a couple, he won’t have trouble understanding me!”
“But in the book, isn’t Xiao Qiao the only woman Zhou Yu ever loved?”
“Xiao Qiao hasn’t been summoned here yet. Even if she arrives, a woman from ancient times won’t scare me!”
With his True Seer that had reached the Greater Mastery stage, Ji Ye could hear all the “fangirl talks” from over 500m away.
He frowned slightly because this batch of new players was too relaxed.
“Apart from leading the navy, Chief Zhou Yu is also one of the heads of the music division.
“Commanders Chu Yin, Nie Xiaoqian, and some others will be in charge of the daily teaching and training of that division.”
Su Nongying had started introducing the fourth combative division.
The image in the clouds changed, showing the Twin Dragon Mount from above.
The plate over the front gate of the mount now read “Music Division”, which was written by Zhou Yu himself.
“Nie Xiaoqian is so beautiful. There’s something otherworldly about her that even the veil over her face can’t cover it up.”
“Is that little girl with a beauty mark under her eye the protagonist of Bai Juyi’s Pipa Verse? She’s the survival semi-hero of that Musical House settlement.”
“Zhou Yu has two jobs? Does anyone know how to join the music division?”
People began to discuss excitedly again.
Unlike the new players, the dozens of people in the music division halfway up the mountain were all carefully listening to Chu Yin’s teaching.
After coming back online again, Chu Yin had fallen to Extraordinary Rank 4, but all players and natives in the music division showed her great respect because she had sacrificed herself for Dragon City.
“I heard that Chu Yin was one of the first-batch players of the settlement. She died in the battle earlier and the City Master re-summoned her with a precious quota. With the current exchange rate, her place is worth 20 billion!”
“20 billion! Master Ji is so generous, and he values the importance of friendship!”
“No, it wasn’t 20 billion because she wasn’t the only one. Master Ji summoned back eight members of the settlement who had died in the battle!”
“I think that’s why Dragon City has gone this far and became the first Transcendent settlement from Earth.”
“That’s right. Master Ji feels more like an idol than Zhou Yu or Yan Qing.”
“You’re right! Master Ji is the most handsome man of Dragon City!”
Up on the City Master’s residence, Ji Ye looked pleased.
He loved it when people showered him with subjective complements!
