Chapter 501: Wei-ah’s Request
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The war was terrible and loud, like thunder falling from the sky, causing the residents of Fir Town to be terrified. And especially when they saw those card artisans who were arrogant and domineering in their daily life, each and everyone of them would be fearful, turning a shade paler. Not a soul could be found on the street and all the doors of the shops were all shut tight.
Plundering for loots during the time of war has always been a very blessed practice.
Xiaobo and Sang Hanshui ran back and forth together, moving in a kind of way as if they were farting, and their mouths were stuffed with so much joy to the point that they were having a hard time closing it.
“Pop, another five-star card, this guy is so loaded!” Xiaobo smacked his mouth together. His face had grew into a miser’s, as he unknowingly drooled.
Sang Hanshui fell into a semi-decisive state. He could see stars in his triangular eyes as he danced and shouted, “Yes, it’s done, it’s finally done! There’s a lot of cards! G.o.d, there’s also inheritance!”
20 card artisans, half of them were card artisans above grade seven, in other words, there was ten of them. Everything that was carried by these card artisans were naturally good stuff. In order to avoid damage, they used materials with excellent protection performance to make card wallets. Most of the card wallets were well preserved and so worth for Chen Mu and the others. Still, there were several people whose card wallets were incinerated in the violent explosion.
Xiao Bo and Sang Hanshui sc.r.a.ped the floor clean till three feet deep. They daringly searched the bodies of these people thoroughly. Not one thing could escape their joint plundering.
In the end, there were eight five-star cards, and among them, there were four that were inherited. The other miscellaneous cards were innumerable, if they could be easily carried by these card artisans, then how could it fakes? Chen Mu was marvelled by the many cleverly designed cards.
Chen Mu let Sang Hanshui and Xiao Bo choose two five-star cards, each inherited. While for the other auxiliary cards, they had also chosen quite a few of them.
Sang Hanshui and Xiao Bo were holding onto the cards as if they were treasures.
They both had similar desires for good cards. Xiao Bo was born in a common residential district. In order to enhance his strength, he went into the jungle alone. He had no resistance when he faced Chen Mu’s Wheel. As for Sang Hanshui’s enthusiasm for cards, there was not much to say about it. And like those five-star cards from the Comprehensive Federation Academy, they did not dare think about it before as it was the secret of the Comprehensive Federation Academy.
Today, they could even choose and pick among several cards, it was as if they were in a dream.
They were all precious!
No one would dislike too many good cards. No matter what kind of card it is, there would always be a limitation, plus universal cards do not exist. Having an extra card meant that one would have an alternative choice when in danger.
A strong sense of affluence filled both of their hearts and minds.
Chen Mu was silent as he looked at the scattered woods. Relaxing from the tension, he felt that it was rare he felt so at ease.
Today’s battle, although it went well beyond his expectations, but in retrospect, it still made him a little scared. Every round of battle, if it went sideways, then today’s battle would immediately plunge into a difficult situation.
In the first layout, they were already faced with such a difficult situation. From the beginning, he was not as calm as he showed. Just to rea.s.sure the others, he strived to be calmer. This he had learned from Bogner. No matter how dangerous and difficult the situation was, Bogner would always be in good shape. It was this calm expression that gave Chen Mu a strong sense of security every time.
At one point, Wei-ah appeared beside Chen Mu.
“Woody, well done.”
Wei-ah’s voice was not loud and his tone was as flat as ever, but Chen Mu still raised his head in surprise. Wei-ah rarely praised him. Suddenly, Chen Mu was in a good mood.
“Fortunately you all have my back.” Chen Mu smiled.
As he thought of it, his mood lightened. Wei-ah had always been with him, protected him and taught him all kinds of skills. Little Bu Mo was still of young age, but because he wanted to help him fight, thus he joined the battle. Xiao Bo and Sang Hanshui played a much greater role in this battle than Chen Mu himself.
In this battle, Chen Mu played the role of a commander, however the number of people he killed was the fewest among the five.
“Woody, when you become strong, accompany me to a place,” said Wei-ah.
Chen Mu was shocked. Suddenly, he realized what Wei-ah meant. Surprised, he replied, “Wei-ah, has your memory been restored? Have you thought of your hometown?”
“Well.” Wei-ah looked into the distance and half-squinted, “You have to become stronger.”
Chen Mu was shocked. Although Wei-ah’s tone had not changed much, but Chen Mu understood him better than he understood himself – Wei-ah had the motivation to kill!
Chen Mu knew that the killing was not personal, but the one who could make Wei-ah kill…
And from Wei-ah’s words, Chen Mu captured some information that appalled him as well. There was no doubt that Wei-ah needed his help! This fact had shocked Chen Mu! So far, Chen Mu has never seen Wei-ah defeated! Even Fang Han, the top card artisan in the Federation, was seriously injured by Wei-ah. For a long time, Chen Mu even believed that Wei-ah was undefeatable, even if he had met Tang Hanpei from the Heavenly Federation. Although he might not win, but he would never lose either!
However, Wei-ah, who was invincible in Chen Mu’s heart, turned to him for help! What a huge impact this was on Chen Mu!
What kind of man that could not be defeated by Wei-ah?
Was there such a powerful person in this world?
Then Chen Mu remembered that Wei-ah had said something similar before. But at that time, he didn’t pay much attention to it. Thinking about it now, maybe Wei-ah had already thought about this back then!
“Alright!” Chen Mu cut through the railroad and clenched his fist fiercely, “Wei-ah, I will definitely be stronger!”
A wave of hot blood rushed to the top of Chen Mu’s brain. If there was anyone in the world who would sacrifice his life and at the same time, was willing to help, Wei-ah was one of them! As he promised Caesar to challenge Tang Hanpei in the future, Chen Mu could only fill his thoughts with the coming fight, but he did not take it to heart. But in facing of Wei-ah’s request, Chen Mu did not hesitate to put it among his most important goals!
To Chen Mu’s surprise, however, Wei-ah shook his head, “Woody, I’m not talking about this kind of power.”
He frowned and seemed to be thinking about how he should express his thoughts. After half a day, he pointed to the body on the ground and said with a trace of effort, “It’s as powerful as it is today.”
As powerful as it is today? Chen Mu was not surprised. After a while, he reacted and tentatively asked, “Wei-ah, were you talking about commanding the battle?”
“Well.” Wei-ah nodded. He looked at Sang Hanshui and Xiao Bo, and then said, “Woody, there are too few people.”
“Do we need a lot of people?” Chen Mu asked, feeling surprised. What was troubling Wei-ah? His curiosity suddenly rose. Wei-ah’s ident.i.ty has always been a mystery and it was not easy for him to recover back his memories. Chen Mu naturally wanted to know.
“Well, a lot. ”
“How many?” Chen Mu asked tentatively, although he knew that such a question would not get anything out of Wei-ah.
Wei-ah tilted his head as he thought for a long time, then answered, “A lot, a lot.”
As expected…
Chen Mu was sick and tired of this. Wei-ah seemed to be only specialised in card-free techniques. Apart from that, he really has no talent, especially when it came to numbers. Chen Mu felt that he should approach this in a different way.
“Are there many enemies?” Chen Mu asked.
“Well, a lot.” Wei-ah tried to describe it with movements of his hands but without any expressions. He soon gave up trying, as this little task seemed to be too difficult for him. Nevertheless, he still added, “A lot.”
Chen Mu finally understood him. Wei-ah’s enemy should be a large group or powerful forces, so Wei-ah could not only rely on one man for the job.
“Well, where are they?” As soon as he spoke, Chen Mu realized he had asked the wrong question, so he added, “Are they in Heavenly Federation?”
Wei-ah shook his head in confusion and said, “No idea.”
No idea! Chen Mu was surprised by this answer. He thought about it and asked, “Do you know how to find them?”
“Well, they could be found.” Wei-ah was unusually confident about this.
Chen Mu’s brain roughly had an outline when asking about this. Wei-ah’s enemy was a big force. Wei-ah needed to destroy them. This force consisted of a large group and had great power.
This was indeed a troublesome problem, but it was not impossible to accomplish.
Moreover, this coincided with his next plan!
“Boss, we should be leaving.” Sang Hanshui came over to remind Chen Mu. He pointed to a card artisan flying in the distance. It was probably one of Fir Town’s card artisan who heard the battle coming to a halt and decided to come over and have a look.
“Wait a minute.” From his card wallet, Chen Mu took out a card that has been prepared since a long time.
“A video card?” Sang Hanshui and Xiao Bo were both gaping. Video cards were a new kind of cards that has not been in the market for several years. It could record a real image. The higher the star rating of the video card, the higher the resolution of the recording and the more content it could record. Most of today’s video cards were used in the hands of a scouting card artisan. They could use video cards to record the battle scene in the front of them and send it to the rear.
The boss took out a four-star video card.
Chen Mu let out a sound in reply and inserted the video card into the meter. In front of him projected a small light screen, about ten centimeters long. A translucent energy lens was located in front of the light screen. The energy lens could be adjusted by hand or controlled by perception. Also, users could see their input content from the screen, which was very convenient.
Chen Mu photographed the details of the battlefield very carefully, especially the faces of the card artisans of the Federation Comprehensive Academy that were suppressing the regiment; all of these he recorded it down. Although some of the card artisans have been blasted to the point where it was impossible to identify their faces, but Chen Mu still captured all of them down.
Xiao Bo and Sang Hanshui looked at each other, as doubts arose in both their hearts at the same time.
What was the boss doing?
