Ta Tianqing
Chapter 51 Lin Chen's Ambition
At this moment, the monster siege had reached its sixtieth wave.
For a long time, no Boss had appeared.
Everyone was puzzled.
Just then, four Level 130 Bosses, Devourer Crocodiles, arrived.
The crowd's spirits lifted.
They quickly prepared to face the enemy.
But Xue Mo and Ling Xiaoya were watching the rear of the Bosses with great concern.
They…
Didn't see Lin Chen!
"What's going on?"
"Where's Lin Chen? He wouldn't…"
"Impossible, absolutely not!"
Ling Xiaoya's expression looked like she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Xue Mo also sighed.
If something really happened to Lin Chen and he couldn't return, it would definitely be a disastrous piece of news for all Blue Star people.
But at this moment, a figure with wings appeared in the sky.
"What are you doing spacing out? Aren't you going to kill monsters?"
Lin Chen's voice came.
"Lin Chen!" Xue Mo revealed a delighted expression.
"Wow, I knew it…"
Ling Xiaoya also immediately turned worry into joy.
At this time, Lin Chen had already engaged with the Devourer Crocodiles.
This time, there was no Moi to help cover things up.
Above the sky, there were also White Elves monitoring.
Lin Chen had already made up his mind…
Run!
He had to run!
This was the White Elves' territory, after all.
You scammed their princess on their turf; if you don't run now, when will you?
"I've cleared out most of the monsters in the Boss's lair, leaving only these Devourer Crocodiles and two Twin-Headed Pythons. I'll get rid of these four Devourer Crocodiles, and then I'm going to run back to the Dragon Spirit Kingdom."
Lin Chen didn't explain too much to Xue Mo. Taking advantage of the fight with the Bosses, he approached Xue Mo and whispered.
Lin Chen was leaving.
Moreover, he used the word "run."
This naturally made Xue Mo think of many things…
Why was Lin Chen running?
Ling Xiaoya, on the other hand, didn't have so many thoughts. When she heard that Lin Chen was leaving, she shouted, "You have to take me with you!"
"Alright, I can still take you."
Lin Chen had brought her here, and now that he was running, he couldn't just leave the little girl behind.
Besides, she was his fan, his little admirer.
Although Lin Chen was a bit of a straight man, bringing a little girl tens of thousands of miles and then abandoning her wasn't just a matter of being a straight man or not.
It was a matter of character.
Although Lin Chen didn't think he had good character, after all, before the game descended, he had online loans and didn't repay them, he also didn't think his character was bad.
Besides, taking a little loli with him was easy for him.
Xue Mo said in a low voice, "Why are you running?"
"Hehe, I scammed the Ice Queen's princess out of an elfwood! You just need to know this in your heart, don't reveal it, lest she mistakenly think you're with me, it might not be good for you."
Lin Chen instructed, "I'll leave after I kill these four Bosses. You should be able to deal with the remaining six Devourer Crocodiles and two Twin-Headed Pythons with the array. I have to slip away while those White Elves aren't paying attention."
"Okay! Lin Chen, thank you this time."
Xue Mo also said to Lin Chen, "After this monster siege is defended, we will be recognized by the Icewind Kingdom, and we will be members of the Icewind Kingdom in the future, so they will have no reason to target us… but I think that's probably not enough. If the Icewind Kingdom wants to make things difficult for us, there should be plenty of opportunities!"
"This kind of thing, you can only take it one step at a time, relying on your own improvisation."
Lin Chen's view of the future situation of Icewind City was similar to Xue Mo's.
Icewind City was indeed a bit difficult.
Because the kingdom they were in was the kingdom of the White Elves.
Tian Yue City was at least still in a human kingdom. Although the rulers of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom were foreign invaders, the people of Tian Yue City were all Blue Star natives, but at least everyone was of the same race.
Xue Mo, and everyone in Icewind City, were completely different from these White Elves.
Moreover, in the *New World* online game, elves were the most xenophobic race of all races.
So, Icewind City's situation was indeed a bit awkward.
"My suggestion to you is that in the future, when the Icewind Kingdom announces that you will become legal citizens, you should choose a force to lean on, relying on that force to develop. I think the Icewind Kingdom's princess, Moi, is actually a good person. I mean, she looks cold, but she's actually very simple… hehe."
Lin Chen's words had a deeper meaning.
What does simple mean?
Easy to fool!
"You suddenly smiled so lewdly, did you do something shameful to the princess?" Xue Mo couldn't help but imagine.
"Don't overthink it, I just scammed her out of an elfwood."
Lin Chen quickly explained, after all, Xue Mo and Liu Mengyao had a good relationship, so he couldn't let her misunderstand anything, but Lin Chen also instructed, "When the time comes, you can deliberately use me to see if you can try to take refuge under this princess. If you succeed, the problem of Icewind City gaining a foothold in the Icewind Kingdom should not be a big one."
During the conversation, Lin Chen's hands weren't idle.
He was now approaching Level 150.
His soul cultivation had also reached the ninth rank.
Facing these Level 130 Bosses, it was a complete one-sided massacre.
A few skills could leave them all with low health.
"I think… what if I simply abdicate the position of city lord to you?"
Xue Mo suddenly spoke.
She also saw that Lin Chen was now incredibly strong.
Good heavens!
Fighting Level 130 Bosses, Devourer Crocodiles, was like an adult beating a child?
Such strong strength made Xue Mo unable to help but think more. She continued, "In the past, in the game, there were guilds that could occupy several cities, right? You're the city lord of Tian Yue City, and now you're the city lord of Icewind City. I don't think that conflicts at all."
"You're thinking too much."
Lin Chen shook his head and said, "There's no problem with me serving as two city lords, but the key is that it's not in the game anymore. In the game, different countries in different regions wouldn't interfere too much with the players. But now it's reality. Do you think the Icewind Kingdom and the Dragon Spirit Kingdom will recognize my dual nationality?"
Xue Mo's thoughts were indeed a bit naive.
Of course, it wasn't that she was naive, but that she knew less inside information than Lin Chen.
For example, Lin Chen could infer from his conversation with Moi that although the Icewind Kingdom and the Dragon Spirit Kingdom were neighbors, their relationship wasn't very good, and they even were wary of each other.
Under such a background, Lin Chen would definitely not be able to serve as the city lord of two cities.
"I think you can do well… I've captured all four of these Devourer Crocodiles' souls for you. You can swallow them directly and quickly cultivate to the fifth rank. With a little strength, you can protect Icewind City. When the time comes, let's see if we can establish a kingdom that belongs entirely to Blue Star people!"
At this time, Lin Chen began to reveal his ambition to Xue Mo.
It truly reflected the famous saying of a predecessor: "A great man lives between heaven and earth, how can he be content to live under the rule of others for a long time?"
Lin Chen didn't want to be someone else's pawn all the time.
If this game invasion of Blue Star was a conspiracy, or a game between gods, no matter which situation it was, Lin Chen hoped that he could become the person playing the game.
So Lin Chen planned to help his good friend, Xue Mo.
Just like when Xue Mo saw Lin Chen selling goods and releasing the Magic God Set before the game descended, she supported Lin Chen with three million without hesitation or bargaining…
At that time, three million was equal to a large amount of game resources for Lin Chen, which was equivalent to hundreds of billions of gold coins now. Lin Chen was now giving Xue Mo some feedback.
In addition, if Icewind City could gain a foothold in the Icewind Kingdom, it could better realize Lin Chen's ambition in the future!
Besides, Lin Chen couldn't improve much soul cultivation experience by devouring the souls of these Level 130 Bosses. It was a waste, so it was better to maximize the benefits.
What he needed more now was experience points.
However, when he returned to Tian Yue City, there were still many Bosses around, enough for Lin Chen to kill.
After discussing with Xue Mo, seeing that the array was ready, there were still three opportunities for the Bosses to come out in the monster siege, and there were now only two Twin-Headed Pythons and six Devourer Crocodiles left in the Boss's lair.
A total of eight Bosses would be released in three batches, with a maximum of three Bosses at a time.
With the hundreds of people here who had inherited the game abilities, plus the array, they could completely cope with it.
Next, Lin Chen began to run.
He took Ling Xiaoya and took advantage of an attack by small monsters, and directly flew south in the chaos.
Soon, Lin Chen and the two ran out for several kilometers.
Lin Chen's speed was too fast!
He had now activated the Sprint of his equipment.
When Lin Chen and the two reached the Yellow River, an approaching airship appeared in the sky.
Lin Chen had good eyesight and saw Moi standing on the airship at a glance.
So, Lin Chen accelerated again.
The airship continued to chase, but it was obvious that Lin Chen was not weaker than anyone in terms of speed.
Nor was he weaker than the airship.
He actually shook off Moi's pursuit.
"Hmph, this liar!"
Moi stood on the airship, speechless.
In fact, if the airship was at full speed, the speed could still exceed a thousand yards per second, but that required professional people to operate it, and Moi was ashamed and didn't want other elves to know that she was chasing a human like this, so…
She was driving the airship alone.
As a result, she could only watch Lin Chen disappear without a trace.
When she arrived at the border checkpoint, where was Lin Chen's figure?
"Did anyone leave the customs and go to the Dragon Spirit Kingdom just now? A man and a woman." Moi asked the general guarding the gate.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Moi got the answer.
Then, she came to the top of the checkpoint.
Outside the pass was an endless plain.
But there was no sign of Lin Chen…
"Lin Chen!"
Moi clenched her fist and punched the stone next to her.
At this time, she also realized that she had been fooled by Lin Chen.
The Icewind City plot came to an end, and the reason why the protagonist helped Xue Mo and Icewind City was also explained.
The protagonist wouldn't be a Mary Sue, he wouldn't help others for no reason, because the protagonist had his own ambitions and his own ideas.
Besides, others helped the protagonist first, and the protagonist would reciprocate, isn't that not a Mary Sue?
I see many people in the book reviews, talking about Mary Sue, I'm also annoyed.
This is a story about a game invading reality, reality ushering in the end, and then wanting to rebuild, or even surpass the gods. You have to do something, unite something, you can't just destroy the universe alone.
If that's the case, what's the point of writing a story?
