Six-star. I wonder if that Calamity-grade gunner is dead. I didn't hear any gunshots, so he probably isn't dead. If I kill the Calamity-grade gunner, I should have a chance of surpassing six-star, right? Zhou Wen thought to himself.
If any other human obtained first place, Zhou Wen might not have risked his life, but he couldn't tolerate someone from the Holy Land obtaining first place.
Now, Zhou Wen was more vexed about how he could find the Calamity-grade gunner.
It shouldn't be difficult to kill him. What was difficult was finding him. Zhou Wen had tried many times and used all sorts of methods, but he failed to find him.
That Calamity-grade gunner very likely has an invisibility ability like the Invisibility Cloak. Furthermore, it's an advanced version of invisibility. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape Truth Listener's eyes and ears. Or perhaps he has some ability to hide himself. Zhou Wen thought about it but couldn't think of a way to find the Calamity-grade gunner.
In the Federation, people everywhere were discussing Xiao Chen's domineering rise to the top. After all, he was the only six-star. It rekindled the curiosity and longing for the Holy Land.
Li Xuan came to Zhou Wen's side and sat on his sofa as he gloated. "These people are really easily incited. Yesterday, they swore that they wanted to learn how to rear Companion Beasts from you. Today, they are all thinking of joining the Holy Land," he said gloatingly.
An Sheng said, "Isn't that what humans are all about? It's easy to abandon things like faith, bottom line, and morals that don't bring any benefits."
"Brother Sheng, don't kill everyone in one fell swoop. I'm a person with morals and a bottom line. I'm different from those mortals," Li Xuan immediately retorted.
"That's only because the benefits given to you aren't good enough. If the benefits given to you are good enough, it's hard to say," An Sheng said.
"Brother Sheng, are you doubting my character? No benefit can shake my moral bottom line," Li Xuan said righteously.
"Is that so? Then, if your second brother is seriously injured and is bound to die, you can kill someone who has a grudge with you but definitely doesn't deserve death. That way, your second brother can fully recover and not die. Will you kill him? "An Sheng asked.
"This …" Li Xuan hesitated.
"Another example is that your Li family has fallen into the hands of a homicidal maniac. If you don't help him steal something, he will kill your entire family. Will you steal it?" An Sheng asked again.
"Brother Sheng, can you not curse me? Can you miss me a little? "Li Xuan said gloomily.
"I can think for your own good, but your enemy won't. For creatures like humans, the so-called faith and moral bottom line are relative. So if you want to have a moral bottom line, you have to think more and do more than others. Don't let yourself have the chance to break the moral bottom line. What was that saying again? If you want to be an honest official, then you have to be even more treacherous than a corrupt official. " An Sheng paused for a moment before saying, "Of course, there are also people who can maintain their beliefs and bottom lines under any circumstances. However, I think that they are extremely few saints. It's best for us ordinary people not to fall to such a state. We shouldn't test the moral bottom lines of others."
"That makes sense. Brother Sheng, let me toast you." Li Xuan seemed to agree with An Sheng's words. He poured a glass of wine for An Sheng and clinked glasses with him.
"What do the two of you want?" Zhou Wen looked at them and asked with a frown.
The two of them had been sitting here for a long time and had been talking about something that seemed to be pointing at him. He didn't know what they were up to.
"Nothing. Aren't we just having a casual chat?" Li Xuan smiled and continued asking, "Old Zhou, do you have any plans on reclaiming first place?"
"The two of you have been talking here for so long. Are you trying to get me to challenge the levels again?" Zhou Wen seemed to understand something.
An Sheng sighed and said, "Humans are selfish creatures to begin with. Previously, there was the League of Defender's Immortal, and now, there's the Holy Land's Xiao. If this continues, I'm afraid everyone will want to join the Holy Land and contract a Guardian in the future. Who will take those difficult paths? At this time, someone has to stand up and attract them back. "
"I don't have that ability. Go find someone else," Zhou Wen said as he spread out his hands.
He really had no choice. If he couldn't find a Calamity Gunner, he would at most get a five-star like last time. It was impossible for him to get a six-star.
"You can't do it, but Human Sovereign can definitely do it," An Sheng said with a wink.
"Human Sovereign can't do it this time either." The Immortal Culling Sword was indeed very strong, but if he couldn't find a Calamity-grade gunner, it was useless no matter how strong it was.
Zhou Wen suddenly sized up Li Xuan and said, "Strange. I can understand why Ah Sheng wants me to take first place, but why do you want me to take first place?"
"That's not right. Who do you think I am? I'm also a good person. I also want to do something for the people of the world, "Li Xuan said stubbornly.
"That's not right. This isn't like you. There must be something going on here." Zhou Wen stared at Li Xuan, giving him the creeps.
"Don't look at me like that. It's quite scary. I really want to do something good for the people of the world, but I also want to earn some pocket money." Li Xuan couldn't withstand Zhou Wen's questioning gaze and revealed his intentions.
"Pocket money? What do you mean? "Zhou Wen asked.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Li Xuan had no choice but to say, "Actually, it's nothing. Someone just started a bet on who will be first in the Rubik's Cube. I bet heavily on you. No, on Human Sovereign."
"You want me to risk my life for that bit of money? Are you still human?" Zhou Wen cursed.
"This isn't a bit of money. After Xiao came out, the odds for others have increased significantly, especially those who haven't made the rankings. Human Sovereign is one of them. If Human Sovereign can take first place in the end, I'll be able to obtain a huge sum of resources. Take note that it's resources, not money. They lose resources. They lose whatever they bet, "Li Xuan said.
"You dare to buy such a bet? Aren't you afraid that they will run away with the money? "Zhou Wen frowned.
"They won't run. The Family Clan of Gods opened the bet." Li Xuan was very certain.
"You bought it too?" Zhou Wen looked at An Sheng.
"I bought just a little," An Sheng said shyly.
"How much is a little?" Zhou Wen pressed.
"Five hundred tons of Essence Crystals," An Sheng answered.
"That's a little?" Zhou Wen was rendered speechless. Five hundred tons of Essence Crystals was probably the total amount of Essence Crystals Luoyang could produce.
Although there was an Essence Crystal mine in Butterfly Valley where Zhuangzi's tomb was, there was no way to mine it. Unless it was a specific time, no one could enter. Therefore, he temporarily couldn't obtain any Essence Crystals from there.
"I really can't snatch first place now. Good luck," Zhou Wen said.
"It doesn't matter if you can't do it. We can," Li Xuan suddenly said.
