Chapter 120: NPCs in Qin Qiang’s Eyes
“Solomon City Inquisition, s-so that is how it is, it turns out to be a lord from there… Forgive my disrespect, forgive my disrespect.”
Qin Qiang’s imposing aura suddenly weakened quite a bit.
Clearly, he knew of the Inquisition’s existence and was even somewhat afraid of it.
He stopped asking about Ye Qiyan’s information, chuckled awkwardly, and ran to the back of the group.
By the time the knight order dispatched by Princess Winnie escorted the two of them into that fortress, Qin Qiang had consistently maintained a certain distance from Ye Qiyan.
Ye Qiyan was also glad not to be disturbed; he had not intended to use his status to suppress others in the first place, but this guy named Qin Qiang asked too many questions, which was somewhat annoying.
Escorted by the knights, the two of them saw the fortress named Casmafa one after the other.
The corpses of humans and Goblins could be seen everywhere.
On the shattered city wall, a huge fist mark was firmly imprinted.
“What is this?”
Ye Qiyan stopped there, looked at the giant fist mark, and asked the knight beside him.
“My lord, this was caused by that Goblin Champion; it was the one that broke the city wall.”
Goblin Champion, one of the two Level 7 monsters.
This destructive power was nearly comparable to a strike from Lightning Anchor.
Qin Qiang, at the end of the team, also heard the knight’s words. His expression looked a bit ugly. After hesitating for a moment, he trotted up, looking at Ye Qiyan’s back.
“M-My lord, Lord Judge.”
Suspicious, Ye Qiyan looked over upon hearing the voice.
“You are calling me?”
“Yes, Lord Judge, could we speak privately for a moment?”
Ye Qiyan did not refuse. In fact, he was also somewhat curious about what this guy wanted to say.
Leaving the knights to wait in place, the two walked to a relatively quiet spot.
Qin Qiang’s face no longer held its initial firmness, instead revealing an extremely flattering expression.
“My lord, this stop is a bit too dangerous. I know that as a member of the Solomon City Inquisition, you would not fear this kind of danger, but, heh heh… As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a tottering wall. You have also seen the attack on that wall; if that Goblin really is that strong, I am afraid…”
“What on earth are you trying to say? Just say it directly.”
Ye Qiyan interrupted Qin Qiang.
“I want to give up this stop.”
He quickly added.
“Of course, not right now! Trust me, I have been to many similar Platforms; this bunch of useless natives are simply no match for the monsters in the Platform. Without us appearing, they would sooner or later be wiped out by those two Goblins. There are quite a few good things here worth bringing back to the Train.”
“Once we enter the fortress, I will find a way to make this group of NPCs die at the hands of the Goblins. We just need to go collect precious resources in the city; there is completely no need to risk our lives for these native NPCs. When the docking time ends, we just return to the Train and leave. What do you think?”
Qin Qiang’s plan was not bad in a certain sense. The Train Coins were already in hand, and no one could force them to complete the task of eliminating those two Goblins.
Once the waiting time ended and they returned to the Train, everything would be as if nothing had happened.
Aside from the spoils picked up in the city, it was basically a guaranteed profit without any loss.
Ye Qiyan raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting this guy to have such thoughts.
This kind of person could also reach Level Goblin
No, perhaps it was precisely this kind of person who found it easier to reach Level 7.
“How many years have you been in this world?”
This unprovoked question left Qin Qiang a bit baffled, and he tentatively replied:
“Six years. I came to this world six years ago. Why are you asking this?”
Six years to reach Level 7.
Perhaps this was the normal growth speed for an ordinary Train Captain in this world.
“It is nothing.”
Without saying anything more, Ye Qiyan turned around and walked towards the direction of the knights. Halfway there, he suddenly said:
“I am going to kill the Goblins. Since you are not willing to participate in this matter, those 40 Train Coins will not need to be split with you, right?”
“Er… Of course.”
Qin Qiang acknowledged with a heart ache.
“Mm, in that case, you can just collect precious resources in this city. As for those two Goblins, I will handle them alone.”
Speaking of this, a faint smile curved the corner of his mouth.
“You can just stay in this fortress to collect resources, but I want two-thirds of the resources you collect during this upcoming period. If you do not agree—”
The Ebony had appeared in his hand at some unknown time.
The pitch-black muzzle aimed right at the top of Qin Qiang’s head.
“You are welcome to try.”
Qin Qiang was so scared his legs went weak.
“Okay, okay, two-thirds! Completely okay. However, I have a small request; please grant it to me.”
“What is it?”
“I want that female NPC named Winnie to be my slave. Do you think that is okay?”
A slave?
Such an unfamiliar vocabulary word.
Ye Qiyan furrowed his brow slightly.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Er, literally, the princess NPC is probably going to die here without us anyway. Might as well leave with me. Heh, if my lord wants her…”
Ye Qiyan stopped him from continuing.
NPCs, slaves…
It was not hard to hear from Qin Qiang’s words what kind of view this guy held toward the natives in the Station World.
And the reason he looked at Princess Winnie was most likely because of that special Mental Power encouragement.
He did not say anything, simply returning to the knights and continuing forward toward their goal.
Qin Qiang followed behind. Just as he had said, he did not leave immediately.
Instead, he pulled out a green snakeskin bag from somewhere and began collecting things everywhere throughout the fortress.
Valuable Metal, relatively intact weapons, food…
Various items were constantly stuffed into the snakeskin bag, making it bulge round, but the bag did not break. On the contrary, even when items larger than the bag itself were stuffed inside, it only made the bag grow a bit larger.
Clearly, this bag was a storage item.
“My lord, this friend of yours…”
A knight could not bear to watch anymore.
Qin Qiang’s actions were far too absurd.
This guy would even snatch food from children’s hands. As long as it was something he wanted, no matter who had it or whose body it was on, he would strip it off and take it away.
He truly regarded the people in the Station World as fake NPCs.
“Are we almost there?”
That knight nodded.
Raising his sword and pointing forward.
A bloody battlefield existed right there.
Moreover, the so-called bloody scene was not a fifty-fifty meat grinder between humans and Goblins, but rather a one-sided slaughter under the offensive of a tall black Goblin wearing special leather armor.
Their arrival was noticed by that black Goblin, which grinned, its teeth covered in flesh and blood residue, and with a casual strike of its huge fist, smashed the head of a fully armored knight to pieces…
“H-He is… the Goblin Champion! How could this be? Has this place already fallen?!”
