Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1337 - 553 The Rules of Silver Serpent Base

"I’m telling you, this batch of goods is absolutely top-notch, you should be prepared to spend a pretty penny..."

"Have I heard that a new Fourth-order Awakener has arrived? One that came on their own without a guide? It’s been a while since we had such a person, right?"

"Yes, they came here on their own, a man, a woman, and a dog. The guy’s a big hunk, whether it’s fighting in the underground black market, serving as a scouting pioneer, or even donating organs, he’s clearly very suitable! The girl is a very beautiful young lady. I won’t go into what she might do, but I’m sure you can imagine a thousand uses for her when you see her face! As for that dog... it looks pretty Ordinary, but I bet it could make a big pot of stew... Damn, talking about it is making me hungry; I haven’t had dog meat in a long time!"

"Sounds not bad, but do you know the strength of this person? After all, it’s a stranger Awakener..."

"Hey! Even if he’s strong, it’s just one person. We’ve got 13 Awakeners here this time, so there’s no need to fear a newcomer. Just be ready with your Crystal Cores and join the auction later!"

"..."

By evening, though it wasn’t dark yet, the shops on Da Tong Street seemed to have silently agreed to close their doors, and the pedestrians had vanished. A large group of fully Armed men and women entered Da Tong Street and made their way towards the Gale Inn at the end of the street.

The group chatted and laughed, as though there was something amusing. They stopped only when they reached the entrance of the Gale Inn.

They looked at each other, and then all eyes landed on a voluptuous woman with big waves in her hair.

"Okay, then I’ll go in and have a word first. After all, we’re inside the base. It’s better not to resort to violence if we don’t have to. Otherwise, we’ll have to pay a fine..."

The woman adjusted her big wavy hair and then sashayed into the inn.

Her combat strength wasn’t the strongest, but she was fast and had high defensive power. If there was any danger, she could get out quickly.

After the woman had gone in, the others waited patiently outside. If they could persuade the new people, that would be a lot easier.

A minute later, there was no sound from inside the inn.

The crowd wasn’t in a hurry, as persuasion takes time.

Two minutes later, the inn was still quiet.

Everyone started to wonder. Whether the persuasion was successful or not, shouldn’t she come out to report back? Could it be that she secretly made some deal with them?

Three minutes later, the inn remained silent as if nobody had ever entered, as if there was no one inside at all.

The expressions of the people outside turned serious.

Five minutes later, as they looked at the still silent inn, they exchanged glances, seeing the solemnity in each other’s eyes... something was wrong!

But they also smirked. If the persuasion worked, it would be straightforward, but less fun. If it failed, on the other hand, that was what some of them were looking forward to.

"Let’s go in together! Don’t give them a chance to resist!"

...

Five minutes before, when the big-waved woman stepped into the inn, she was surprised to find that the big hunk, along with the girl and the dog, was sitting nonchalantly in the inn’s living room, calmly eating dinner. The inn’s owner, the waitstaff, and others were all honestly standing beside the big hunk, as if waiting for his orders.

After the woman entered, whether it was the big hunk, the girl, or the inn’s staff, none of them seemed to see her.

Only the handsome large wolfhound glanced up at her, but even that was just a look before he lowered his head again as if what had entered was some inconsequential invisible person.

What... was going on?

The woman was initially baffled but she wasn’t stupid and soon realized that the big hunk must have known they meant ill! freewёbnoνel.com

The inn’s people were clearly threatened by the big hunk. After all, those folks were not Awakeners, and with the power difference being what it is, it was normal to be threatened by a Fourth-order Awakener.

Clap, clap, clap—

"Well done, well done, you’ve got both brains and brawn. We like people like you!"

The woman clapped her hands with a smile as if everything was under her control.

But the big hunk continued his dinner, completely ignoring her. Especially the beautiful girl next to him, who kept attentively wiping the corners of his mouth, which irked the woman.

She took a deep breath—Hmm? What is he eating? It smells so good! I’ll have the owner make me some later—The woman shook her head quickly and once again wore a smile on her face.

"You might understand, but not quite. So, please allow me to explain the rules of the Silver Serpent Base—every newcomer who passes through the checks to enter the Silver Serpent Base becomes a resident from the moment of entry. As a resident of the Silver Serpent Base, you naturally enjoy the base’s protection and welfare policies. That’s a right for each resident. But as you enjoy these rights, you also have to fulfill the corresponding obligations. Only then can the base develop healthily. So, it’s time for you guys to carry out your obligations."

Upon hearing this speech, Wang Tao finally raised his head.

"Interesting reasoning... What are the obligations?"

Seeing Wang Tao finally speaking, the woman’s smile became even more radiant.

"Obviously, it’s about contributing your value! For example, you can fight in the underground fights, take the lead as a scout in exploration teams, work at someone’s house as a bodyguard for a few months, or even donate organs... All these are viable options, we’re very humane. As for the young lady beside you, she has even more choices. Personally, I would recommend ’Song and Dance Alley’. With her looks, she’s bound to be the top earner, and she could bring tremendous economic value to the Silver Serpent Base!"
