Chapter 153: Chapter 149 I have a hero Duo Lai, to eat and serve everyone (3K asking for monthly tickets) 1
Translator: 549690339 |
When recruitable heroes appeared, some lords couldn’t wait to present themselves.
But with Mu Yuan, everyone here were leading newcomers on the golden list of the lords. They certainly wouldn’t rush forward.
“Recruiting heroes is not that simple. It’s not just about the fierce competition, high standards of the heroes, but also about avoiding pitfalls.”
“Pitfalls?”
Yu Siyu asked. She was just a second-generation player with a bit of family wealth, her background and information channels were far less than those of a second-generation lord like Jiang Luoxing.
Jiang Luoxing nodded slightly. Although he felt it was futile to show off information in front of God Tianyuan and Boss Liu Miu Miu, since these two had no intention of speaking up, he continued to talk.
“Because some heroes are not prepared to accept any lord’s recruitment, no matter how excellent or powerful the lord is.
“There are two types of recruitable heroes. One is ‘Ancient Heroes’ who have been immortalized in history and returned as heroes after falling; the other is ‘Wild Heroes’ who are already active around the world. Most of them hope to serve a lord to lead a better life and further opportunities, but there are a few heroes who already have considerable power in the real world.
“These heroes are unwilling to serve anyone, they came to the Festival Secret Realm just to eat and drink, enjoy the festive atmosphere, and chat with other heroes. This is fine, everyone has the right to choose their own life; but in the last event, a hero pretended to be willing to accept recruitment, led several lords to compete, and eventually deceived a lot of resources and treasures from these lords.”
There are such cunning heroes?
For a simple and kind-hearted lord like him, Mu Yuan, it is easy to be deceived. So, it is best to not compete. The safest option is to sit here and wait for heroes to come and compete for him.
At this time, they were in the second stage of the Heroes Festival—the first stage was the opening of the Secret Realm when the heroes had not yet appeared; the second stage was where the heroes gradually arrived, and the wine cups clattered during the banquet.
The heroes could not see the ‘sparkle points’ on the lords during this stage, and the lords could not see the information of the recruitable heroes.
Perhaps the festival event left a relaxed time for everyone to eat and drink.
Many heroes had already started to eat and drink.
Mu Yuan immediately spotted Duo Lai, not because of her size, but because she was eating like a storm, devouring food in a heroic manner.
Judge a hero by her appetite!
Appetite and combat power often show a proportional relationship!
Perhaps it was Duo Lai’s all-accepting attitude, competing with other heroes in eating and drinking, that had won over many.
In the blink of an eye, she had already formed a bond with many feasting heroes.
Although it was still the preparation and observation stage, the competition had already begun. Compared to the carefree heroes, the lords were much more serious and focused, not paying attention to eating, but observing carefully, considering strategies, or taking action.
If their abilities were strong enough, before the final stage arrived, the lords could still entice the heroes away and establish contracts.
Liu Miumiu, Jiang Luoxing and others were also looking for and observing the heroes they wanted.
But all along, Mu Yuan was focused on the various kinds of food, eating and drinking non-stop.
This was definitely due to the Duo Lai template!
But one must admit, the meals and drinks provided by different people were really good. Freeloading doubled the joy and he never seemed to feel full due to the Duo Lai template, being able to enhance his power by devouring food. That’s triple joy.
So cool-!
Big boss, aren’t you ready to make a move yet?”
“We’re going to go first.”
Jiang Luoxing, Liu Miumiu, Yu Siyu, and other lords got up one after another, preparing to go in front of the heroes they liked, to make themselves visible, to show their importance.
In this way, they could attract some high-level heroes and top-level heroes.
If they wait until the final stage to make a move, what if the heroes feel that you don’t value or respect them? With so many competitors, unless they have overwhelming competitiveness, no one dares to be careless.
Under the clinking of wine cups, time slowly passed.
After Liu Miumiu and others left an impression on the heroes, they returned here.
They still had some cards and promises yet to be played and naturally, they will only throw them out at the last moment.
“Look, the Holy Light Master Sacrifice, Windsor, once again rebuked the visiting lord.”
Jiang Luoxing, like a layman, smacked his lips, “Actually I also want to recruit her. She has top-tier rank and also the highest level hero talent, but I dare not!” Windsor has the ability to see through people’s hearts. This is not referring to mind-reading, but the obscenity in a person’s heart can’t hide from her eyes. Dirty, fearful, and lustful thoughts absolutely can’t fool her.
Not only that, but this master is also very solemn and even pedantic. She can’t tolerate any obscenity in her eyes. Over the years, the lords who dare to show up in front of Holy Light Master Sacrifice Windsor are less and less.” Liu Miumiu also didn’t dare to go.
Although she is a girl, but…
“So scary.”
Mu Yuan looked over, this Holy Light Master Sacrifice indeed looked sacred, noble and extremely intimidating, her ability also made people fearful.
Mu Yuan was also a person, so of course, he was scared.
Luckily, he had no need for nun troops-the Tianyuan territory already had several nuns-, so the Holy Light Master Sacrifice Windsor ranked low on his ‘desired recruitment list’.
High-level heroes and top-level heroes are usually more reserved, thus hard to recruit.
– “Lords, what’s your offer to recruit me? Does it include an annual salary of a billion?”
– “No? Can’t afford it? Get away from this hero.”
– “Who are you to let this king serve you, when I used to lead ninety-nine mountain strongholds?”
— Youngman, you’re not bad. Why don’t you become my adopted son?” However, plenty of ordinary heroes had had a good conversation with the lords, and some lords had even formed contracts under the witness of heaven and earth.
“Big boss, are you really not making a move yet?”
Jiang Luoxing was puzzled.
Since the Big Boss Tianyuan arrived, he has been eating constantly, and even if an occasional hero passes by, the talk is limited to food, what’s delicious, what’s precious, but there is no intention of deep communication.
So, Big Boss Tianyuan loves to eat?
How can he be so calm about it though?
“The boss must have a deep purpose in doing so.”
Liu Miumiu said confidently.
Indeed, what we were waiting for was the comprehensive abilities to show up, to lure the heroes to us using our best assets. For civilian Lords like him, who ’ has neither money nor access, and couldn’t specifically target certain heroes, their best strategy was this kind of ‘passive’ fishing tactics.
Suddenly, a commotion came from far away.
A Lord was striding towards them, and next to him stood a sturdy young man with a bare torso, his body covered with striking red lines.
“It’s Lord of Ba Long!”
“And next to him is… oh, it’s the ‘Chiyan Dragon Descendant’-a famous general from his territory. As expected, his general has completed the Hero Trial!”
Ordinary soldiers cannot follow Lords into this mysterious Secret Realm. Only heroes can.
The Lord of Ba Long arrived a bit late, yet his arrival, like that of a protagonist, attracted many onlookers, including some heroes.
The presence of a hero-level general itself indicated that such a Lord wasn’t someone to be underestimated.
Many heroes thought the same.
They were still being cautious, but when the Lord of Ba Long approached them for a conversation, they all returned the gesture with a smile—no more cold expressions.
“Owning a hero gives them such a clear advantage.”
At the scene, Lords who had hero-level generals, not just Lord of Ba Long but also Glory Knight, Lord of Kong Ming City, the Queen, and so on, were all the focus of the crowd.
They each had significant advantages.
Lord Wangba seemed a little unwilling upon seeing this. He could have obtained ‘The Hero’s Proof, but he didn’t have a general who could confidently complete the Hero Trial yet.
However, compared to Lord Tianyuan, who seemed to do nothing but eat and drink, his result still seemed acceptable.
Suddenly, a group of heroes stood up and started to move towards another zone.
All of these heroes had one thing in common.
They loved to eat.
There was a powerhouse of a man who was three or four meters tall, a majestic woman with red hair like fire due to her Giant Dragon Bloodline. Both were extraordinary individuals, yet they were all huddling around a small, cute- looking, blue-haired girl who looked harmless.
“It’s the Gourmet Group!”
“The big guy is General Gluttonous, ‘Giant Frog1. The majestic woman is Dragon Blood Martial Maiden, ‘Xi Liu’. These two are top-tier heroes with three-star credentials! And… who is that blue-haired girl in the middle?” “I don’t know. She doesn’t seem to be on the list of public powerful heroes. Maybe she’s a new hero in this round. She’s obviously not average.” “Not average? Look, she eats faster than General Gluttonous. I suspect she’s a glutton disguised as a human. Can any Lord afford to feed her?”
“As if you could recruit her. I’ve heard that she ignores all Lords.”
Many of the Lords murmured.
In the crowd, the Lord of Giant Stone Territory, the Lord of Water Transformation, and just seated Yu Siyu, looked at the blue-haired girl surrounded by others. They had the feeling that…
Could it be, really?
The Gourmet Group had arrived at the supply area indicated by Huan Chao Territory banner where more than ten Lords stood up, adjusted their clothing, and put on confident smiles.
And then…
“Lord, I’ve just met quite a few new people.”
She looked at General Gluttonous, Dragon Blood Martial Maiden, and others, This is our Lord—loyal, prestigious, and friendly who we follow. If you get the chance, remember to visit Tianyuan Territory.”
Duo Lai introduced her new friends, and Mu Yuan naturally entertained them warmly. Everyone quickly sat down to eat and drink, as if they had been close friends for ages.
Such an extravagant way of eating, no wonder you’re the Lord of Sister Duo
Lai. Truly extraordinary!”
All the heroes were impressed.
The surrounding Lords were dumbstruck.
How could that be possible?
No, it’s not simple. The strategy of mingling with heroes and then recruiting them was tried decades ago and was mediocre at best. This could only mean that the blue-haired girl is incredibly powerful.”
Does enjoying food really have such a big advantage?
Not entirely.
Even if Duo Lai were simply innocent and foolish and looking only for fun, she still discretely disseminated an aura-a kind of aura that unintentionally ’ earned the respect of the heroes.
This was an aura possessed only by ‘High-position Creatures’.
The Lords didn’t understand.
The heroes didn’t either. They were genuinely impressed by Duo Lai’s capacity to eat.
“Wait a minute…”
A Lord suddenly realised something, “Did the blue-haired girl just say…
Tianyuan?”
Everyone’s gaze fell on the still eating and drinking, utterly calm figure draped in black armor.
And when comparing with the limited information available…
Good heavens, Tianyuan!
Lord Tianyuan already possesses a hero? But isn’t he a pure beginner? It’s only been a few months!
Lord Da Ri, Lord Wangba both clenched their fists in frustration.
Liu Miumiu admired, “Boss really is a boss, he didn’t even have to make a move and the heroes have already come to his bowl. So, which one did you prospect?
General Gluttonous or Dragon Blood Martial Maiden?”
Mu Yuan:
Could it be possible that he… hasn’t actually made a move yet.
