CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 106: PHOENIXES NEVER LAND ON TREASURELESS GROUND

Silver Moon spoke succinctly and naturally, and Lin Rui didn’t sense anything strange, only guessing that there might truly be something off with these Explorers.

After all, a bunch of them were crouched sneakily in the grass, peeking out and looking over in this direction, which really didn’t seem normal no matter how you looked at it.

Then Lin Rui withdrew his gaze from Silver Moon and turned to look at the three Explorers with different heights and builds, asking, "You Grass Brothers, what are you doing crouching in the grass?"

"Grass!... Grass Brothers?" The three exclaimed in surprise.

"Boss... Boss, are you an Explorer?"

"How can there be such a strong Explorer?"

Lin Rui simply replied, "I am Lin Rui."

Just a few words, only stating a name.

Yet among millions of Explorers, this name was known by absolutely everyone.

His performance on the wealthy list, like a perennial top-ranked player, left others utterly astonished.

Upon hearing this name, the Grass Brothers retreated a step together, drawing a sharp breath.

The chubby one swallowed a gulp of saliva with difficulty, turned his head, and asked in a low voice, "Isn’t this boss always known for his wealth? How could his strength also be astronomically fearsome?"

Xigou only felt like his eyes might roll back, his breathing was labored, he said with difficulty, "Don’t ask me! I said, why does this beauty look so familiar? Isn’t she the very lady who danced for him? I always thought she was just a pretty face! It turns out her strength is unfathomable, beyond my perception, an endless red sea of question marks! Even being so strong, she’s only a dancer in front of him, I can’t imagine the extent of his earth-shattering, ghost-crying power."

"You two idiots, shut up!" The middle-aged man turned his head and scolded.

Lin Rui also looked at these two guys with a peculiar expression, they really knew nothing about high-tier perception skills.

Thankfully, the middle-aged man among the Grass Brothers was more reliable, he cautiously said to Lin Rui, bypassing the other two, "Uh... Boss, we absolutely mean no harm... just... just happened to see your team, we thought it was another knight faction of this world."

Another knight faction?

The amount of information in his statement was too much.

Lin Rui, with a blank expression, said, "You think I rely on luck to gain this strength? Just happened to see us, and you guys have been crouching in the grass for so long?"

All of the Grass Brothers trembled, in their eyes Lin Rui having such terrifying strength was not a matter of luck, but rather his unparalleled sharp mind, and immensely powerful combat talent formed this deep foundation.

But Audrey, Silver Moon, and even Black Mage Hei Qi couldn’t help but glance frequently at Lin Rui.

Anyone else saying this would sound reasonable, but Lord, when you say... Is it truly sincere? The Goddess of Fortune must have a great temper!

The Grass Brothers secretly exchanged glances, "communicating" with their eyes.

"What to do? Should we confess?"

"Why are you glaring at me? What have I done to offend you?"

"You two stop glaring! Lin Rui sees everything clearly right here! Hurry and come up with an excuse to muddle through!"

After a quick "communication," the three simultaneously explained.

"We’re researching the formation principles of the Underground City."

"We’re closely connecting with nature."

"We’re counting how many blades of grass there are."

Lin Rui looked at the three of them blankly.

The three panickedly glanced at each other and quickly corrected themselves.

"Yes, yes, we’re closely connecting with nature."

"Yes, yes, we’re researching the formation principles of the Underground City."

"Uh... now, even if I said we’re counting blades of grass, Boss, you wouldn’t believe it, right? Xigou, can’t you just think of a more believable reason?"

Audrey was laughing heartily and made a funny face, scaring them by saying, "Do you know, Dark Mages can raise corpses and read their memories?"

Xigou directly knelt down, pleading with Audrey while crying out, "Boss, please, don’t kill me. I’ve finally become a Lord, experienced the pleasures of women. I really don’t want to die. I’m begging you."

Audrey stared at the Explorer kneeling and crying in front of her, completely stunned.

No...

What kind of Explorer is this?

Is there such a big gap between Explorers?

It’s even bigger than the gap between a dog and a bear!

The Explorers she had encountered before, Dongg Qingxue being tenacious, Chen Dong rational, even Sunx Chen being rational and kind, displayed the excellent qualities of young Explorers in all aspects.

As for Lord, there’s no need to mention it, he’s entirely a super deviant, a humanoid form of the abyss, remaining unfazed even as the heavens collapse!

She almost believed all Explorers were tenacious and exceptionally skilled elites.

Yet, this guy truly refreshed her understanding of Explorers.

What on earth did he do to his subjects?

Crying and begging for mercy, just to go back and continue enjoying the pleasures of women?

Although... that does seem reasonable.

But you shouldn’t say it out loud!

You’re really being weak, cowardly, and a bit creepy.

Thinking about this, Audrey turned and glanced at Lin Rui, speaking of which, Lord is so young, doesn’t seem to have been close with women either, right?

Why not learn from this Xigou and be straightforward?

Is he truly not interested in himself, or is it because that Lucky Lady kept causing trouble?

No way!

This time, when returning to the territory, she must win over Lord!
