C20 Ambition
"Look, this is the sea."
"It's boundless and majestic!"
Half an hour later, the mayor held onto the small boat and said to Chen Xing in the middle of the pond.
"It's really magnificent!" Chen Xing said in a disillusioned manner, but the expression on his face was as if he had seen the boundless sea.
"Sometimes, we will catch a few meters long fish. After we open the fish, we cook it and eat it. The remaining parts are dried fish and we put them in the boat. We only eat them when we are hungry." As he spoke, the mayor took out two pieces of dried fish and gave one to Chen Xing. He ate it with relish.
The fish was a little fishy, but it tasted quite good when paired with the spicy white brandy.
After a night of discussion, Chen Xing replaced Wang Bo and became the captain of the Orchid Town's Team Three.
However, this was only a captain and eleven team members. Apart from a small amount of rations, the mayor did not give any money to Chen Xing. Instead, he had to rely on Chen Xing himself to prepare. Furthermore, he had to pay a certain amount of taxes every month.
However, the mayor gave Chen Xing a month to head to Dragon Stone Town to recruit members. After he returned, he would lead the construction team of Orchid Town and rebuild the underground water station. He promised that once the water station was operational, it would belong to his territory.
Then, the mayor sent Little Five to follow Chen Xing and head to the camp of Team Three overnight to count the remaining assets. After a few hours, with the help of Little Five and a few other civil servants, Chen Xing received all the assets of Team Three. However, there was not much. Most of the useful things were taken by Wang Bo and rolled away by Aaliyah.
There was an old All Terrain Vehicle, two assault rifles, five boxes of bullets, one box of shrapnel grenades, half a box of incendiary grenades, seven to eight flashbangs, and smoke grenades.
Little Five was very efficient. He quickly arranged a barrack for Chen Xing and sent someone to bring three sets of well-tailored garrison uniforms, as well as the captain's epaulette and identity certificate that had the insignia of Orchid Town.
Since Orchid Town did not have any signal, Chen Xing had to take his identity certificate and go to the town hall of Dragon Stone Mountain to register. Currently, his rank was "junior lieutenant".
"Yo, look at you!"
At noon the next day, Aaliyah sized up Chen Xing from head to toe in the gun shop and teased him. The latter was dressed in a brand new military uniform, and his feet were stepping on shiny leather boots. He was in high spirits.
It had to be said that clothes made the man. Chen Xing, who was dressed in a military uniform, seemed to have changed into another person. Although his figure was ordinary, he still looked very tall and straight.
"I'm now the captain of Team Three. Those equipment..." Chen Xing hinted.
"I can return the All Terrain Vehicle to you. As for the other stuff..." Aaliyah's gaze became bone-chilling, as if a sharp blade was scratching her bones. "I'll buy it with money!"
"It was you who pushed me onto this road." Chen Xing said unhappily.
Aaliyah snorted and said, "I still have the same words. If it really doesn't work, then I'll just open a new shop somewhere else~"
Seeing Aaliyah's indifferent face, Chen Xing's teeth itched with hatred. A strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind. If one day he had enough strength to press her down and beg for mercy, how great would that be?
Once this thought appeared, it became uncontrollable. Even he was afraid of it. To crush a King Level, he would at least have to be an Emperor Level. His wild ambition grew like a virus, instantly occupying his entire mind.
To crush her, to conquer her, to ravage her, to imprison her!
In the depths of his heart, there seemed to be a beast roaring, wanting to break free from the shackles of the cage.
As if she had sensed the change in his gaze, Aaliyah covered her mouth and laughed.
"Haha ~"
In an instant, Chen Xing's pupils contracted violently. With strong unwillingness and hatred, he met her gaze.
"Hahahahahahahahaha ~"
She laughed louder and louder, more and more presumptuous, to the point that her entire body trembled, as if she had discovered something amusing.
After a long time, she raised her chin and looked at Chen Xing arrogantly. She asked, "You want to fuck me?"
Her gaze was filled with contempt and provocation, as if she was looking at an ant that wanted to climb to the peak. She was arrogant and ignorant.
Finally, the devilish girl laughed lightly and said, "Alright, I'll wait. Don't disappoint me."
Without saying a word, Chen Xing turned around and left.
After returning to the camp, Chen Xing, who was immersed in his thoughts, looked at the white walls of the dormitory and fell into deep thought.
In this world, only a powerful bloodline could climb to the peak and look down on all living beings. For example, the Flame Demon bloodline, Dark Demon bloodline, True Dragon bloodline, Fire Bird bloodline, etc.
As for Chen Xing, he was just an ordinary person who had awakened his talent. He did not have the qualifications to compete with anyone.
There was only one way to change this — the Hero Medicine!
Just like its name, it represented a strong will, bravery, and perseverance.
Eighty-five percent failure rate and one-fifteen percent success rate. The loser died, and the winner lived.
It was a special medicine that was created by using the Crystal Cores of creatures above the Guard Level. There was a certain probability that it would allow the user to obtain the bloodline of the creature. For example, the Corpse King bloodline, Wormy Wolf bloodline, Sky Worm bloodline, Giant Lizard bloodline, etc.
However, the death rate was extremely high. Those who did not have the determination to die would definitely not inject this medicine. Furthermore, after the injection, there would be a huge pain. Anyone with a weak will would directly die.
Facing life and death, transforming into a legend.
Unknowingly, Chen Xing clenched his fists. In his previous life, he lived like an ant. Looking up at the sky, he felt that he was too small. Since the heavens had given him another chance, how could he stop his ambition?
If he wanted to live, he would have to live a wonderful life!
When his strength reached a certain level, he would enter the Black Death Forest to hunt Guardian Level creatures and collect crystal cores to refine the Hero Medicine.
Either he would rise to the top, or he would die early.
However, the problem was that he had to take one step at a time. He didn't even have an Elite Level at the moment, so it was better to get more attribute increasing medicines. The most important thing right now was to go to Dragon Stone Town and recruit members. He remembered that there was a member in his previous life who owned a grocery store in Dragon Stone Town. His nickname was "Cat." He wanted to take this opportunity to recruit him.
Cat was a strong man. He used to be a heavy cannonner and was good at using the handheld Vulcan. He was a strong and powerful backer.
Thinking about this, he started to pack his things and went to find Little Five to ask him if there was any merchant group that was going to Dragon Stone Town in the near future. He wanted to join them.
When evening arrived, Little Five sent someone to find him. He said that in three days, there would be a group of transport carriages heading to Dragon Stone Town.
The so-called "transport carriages" were the corpses of the mutated creatures collected in the town that were transported to the factory in Dragon Stone Town to be refined and extracted evolutionary agents. Every half a month, there would be a group of this kind of team that would set off from Orchid Town to Dragon Stone Town.
