Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 420 Exploded
"Oops, sorry everyone, I have a small matter that needs to be taken care of."

Faced with such a difficult situation, Ji Ming, who was well versed in ways of escape, naturally used his classic skill - urinating!
And this time he really didn't lie. After politely and elegantly running the water, Ji Ming, who was washing his hands quietly, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

——Time travelers, only when you remove the lock can your home be your permanent home!

He had opened the compartments one by one to check. Even though she didn't come this time, what if Eleanor was refreshed in the pit?

As a result, before I had time to breathe a sigh of relief and rest after confirming that it was safe, I heard footsteps, whispers, and the rustling of fabric outside.

Fortunately, Ji Ming had good ears and could tell that it was a couple discussing whether the woman's husband would mind. It wasn't as dark, deep and cruel as last time, so...

What a fart!

Ji Ming looked around and found that this damn toilet not only had one exit, but also a long corridor outside. If he walked out like this, he would only bump into them.

"Grass!"

Not wanting to face such an embarrassing situation, he could only transform himself into an assassin, relying on the fact that his teacher was a great sage of the elves, and climbed down through the open window.

[Why do you say it as if he is a thief?]

Ji Ming acted decisively and was also lucky. He found a dark corner in the garden outside the small building and hid there without being seen by the guards patrolling nearby.

But today was really unlucky. He was just about to open the player forum to see if some of the rumors he heard today were done by them, but he heard some very bad news again.

This was definitely the episode where he hated his hearing the most, because he could tell with one ear that it was Franco, who had been chatting and laughing with him just before.

Moreover, at this moment, he was playing poker with another noble lady who had just invited Ji Ming to join her in the card game, and the card table was making a lot of banging noises.

...No, there seems to be a third one, and this game is actually Landlord!

But it was not Ji Ming's turn to control what cards people played and with whom. The only thing he could do if he didn't want to continue to listen was to change places...

Change place...

Change……

……

"I'm sweating, really. It's not because I'm tired, it's because I feel numb."

Ji Ming was almost laughing out of anger. No wonder there were so few people in the venue after twelve o'clock. It turned out that they were all card-playing enthusiasts!

"Disgusting, disgusting!"

Moreover, he felt that his own strange luck seemed to be involved in the game, and he had no idea what was going on in his mind, going up and down.

But no matter what, the crisis warning has been buzzing so loudly, it is definitely not advisable to stay here for long.

So he didn't care about saying goodbye to the host and fulfilling the noble etiquette. What was there to talk about with these poker lovers? He saw an opportunity and climbed over the wall to leave the tower.

However, the next moment, before his right foot could even land on the ground, he heard a scream from the side.

...No way, there's no room for all of you monsters in there? You want to come out and play wild?
Ji Ming could no longer tolerate this and decided to use his own hands to put a stop to this evil trend that was harming the young people of the kingdom like a flood or a beast.

But when he turned around, he found that the surprised gecko lying on the wall was actually an old acquaintance.

"Eleanor, you...how did you get refreshed here?"

"I, I, I...you've got the wrong person, I'm not Eleanor!"

"it is good!"

Ji Ming was a kind person, so he naturally followed the advice. He nodded and ran away.

As a result, he was grabbed tightly before he took three steps.

"Ji Ming, why did you run out?"

Come out to see the gecko climbing the wall... Hold on, I can’t say this!
Ji Ming: "Uh...what are you doing here?"

【This sentence is even worse! 】

Eleanor: “Uh…”

The young boss was thinking, since I was there too, what can I say?

Then I might as well join in this embarrassment!

【Uh……】

What are you saying?

Ji Ming had no choice but to change the question and point to the other side of the wall.

"I came here to attend a party, and they...did you come here just to remind me of this?"

No matter how stupid Eleanor was, she couldn't just ignore the stairs, so she nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes! I heard from others that you were invited to a banquet by Prince Philip. I was afraid that you... couldn't stand the atmosphere of the banquet in the capital, so I ran over to remind you!"

"Wind~Ah~"

Looking at Ji Ming's complicated eyes and toothache-like grin, Eleanor hurriedly clarified.

"I never did it!"

Ji Ming believed this, not only because he believed in Eleanor's family education and willpower, but mainly because he believed in the blood curse of the Huiguang family.

The favorite thing for nobles is marriage. For them, it is better to give up their offspring in exchange for an opportunity to unite with their colleagues than to let a useless commoner give them up in exchange for the reputation of pursuing love.

Therefore, although these old nobles of the Zhengguang Banner in the royal capital seem to have their own factions, in fact, they basically all have some blood from the Glorious Royal Family, and thus have inherited the long-standing curse of the Dragon King.

Although he is not completely controlled by desire, after all, even if he is a direct victim, the Sun King who holds the greatest power can always maintain his cunning nature.

But when faced with some seemingly insignificant temptations in daily life, such as passionate banquets, hot atmospheres, and invitations to card games that are only a nod away...

You have to understand that not only the pawns who have already crossed the river, but even those princes and princesses who have not yet passed the royal assessment and have no real power.

With the care of elders and relatives, there should be at least a few male and female servants, nannies and the like to serve you.

Since he can barely be considered a "minor official", he can trigger the most basic [Dragon King] curse.

And objectively speaking, not everyone can have the precious promise that their parents paid for with their lives like Eleanor, or have a good mother and a good brother as solid backing like Fia, which directly paves the way for her to the heights of power.

Therefore, for more royal children, they may have known at the age of eight that they are destined to be a background board in this life. In this case, it is better to take advantage of the resources now, work hard, make more friends of the opposite sex, and use other means to exchange for a retreat.

As for those noble children who have no pressure of assessment, it doesn't matter at all.

Anyway, he is not the eldest son and has no ambition or strength to compete for the right of inheritance. Naturally, he can start early with peace of mind and begin his own extravagant life.

After all, instead of controlling yourself, it is better to take advantage of the present happiness and enjoy all the sweetness in this life at once, so as to avoid regrets when you fail to overcome the tribulation in the future.

As for the pawns that have crossed the river...

It's true that they have stronger self-control, but the corresponding curse effect is also stronger.

Look left, look right, everyone is like this anyway. Life is short, so why not relax a little?
Moreover... the premise of this negotiation is to be honest with each other, so no matter what the meaning of this word is, it actually doesn't matter, right?
In short, under the influence of many parties and the leadership of His Majesty the King, the Glorious Capital gradually developed a banquet culture that was extremely extravagant, and only very few people could escape it.

Among them, there are ambitious people like Philip who will never stop here, and outliers like Eleanor.

There's nothing she can do. Who told her to lose her parents soon after she was born, her grandmother had a mental breakdown and stayed indoors, and her grandfather was an old pervert who had been actively or passively cutting off her for various reasons?

Therefore, no one had ever assigned her any subordinates from the beginning to the end. She could only live in the palace and be self-reliant, and she could not meet the conditions for the Dragon King's curse to take effect.

Not only that, what's even more terrible is that her only relative now is an ascetic succubus, which can be said to have maxed out the hedging tag for the blood curse.

[So what this story is trying to tell us is… a blessing in disguise? ]

"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't say that! You are the only one who is laughing at the fact that there is only hell and no joke!"

After sorting out his thoughts, Ji Ming characterized Eleanor's behavior in one sentence.

"Eleanor, you did the right thing. There's nothing to be ashamed of. They are the ones who are stupid!"

After saying this, he turned sideways and gestured towards the distance on the road.

"Let's go. Are you going back to the Holy Mountain directly, or do you want to stay here? I'll see you off."

"I……"

But just as Eleanor opened her mouth, she heard a dull explosion in the distance. She was already uneasy and was so scared that she squatted on the ground.

???

"Don't be afraid, it might just be a large explosion!"

Ji Ming spoke calmly, but his body still honestly opened a positive energy shield, trapping both of them inside.

As for the location where the explosion occurred, there was no need to check, because in the next second, a large-scale riot broke out in the manor just separated by a wall.

Amid the chaotic noises, there were the panicked voices of men, the screams of women, and the barking and howling of the dogs in the gatehouse.

Oh my god, could this be a terrorist attack?

Ji Ming was just about to say, "Oh awesome, the people of Qixia City are really simple and honest. I can even watch the fireworks when I just come out for a meal today," when he suddenly remembered...

Could it be that some dedicated police officer noticed a crowd of people gathered here and subconsciously rushed in with his men to start sweeping the place? ?

It may sound outrageous, but this is a game, and whatever players do is normal.

Moreover, he had been giving intensive lectures to the Holy Light believers during this period and had not paid much attention to what was happening down the mountain, so he quickly went to Canglang to ask about it.

[Hey, haven’t you visited the forum today? ]

[Uh, I was just about to go shopping when I heard an explosion over here]

Since Canglang could say so, it meant that this must be a big deal. So when Ji Ming just opened the forum, he saw a hot post on the homepage that was rising wildly.

I just want to die: [Everyone is eating coarse food, and they still have the nerve to enjoy themselves here? Hurry up and enter my live broadcast room, and watch me blow these bastards to death! ]

The story was very simple. Seven days ago, when Ji Ming passed by Qixia City, it was finally unlocked on the map as a large server that could accommodate tens of thousands of people competing on the same stage.

Although he was still moving slowly in the quiet convoy towards the holy mountain, players around the world were excited on the Internet.

There is no other reason. Everyone wants to see what this great city, which has a history of thousands of years and has been operated by Huiguang for five hundred years, is like. They have already heard so much about it that their ears are callused.
As a result, the players worked hard to reach level 30, and used their connections to successfully pass the Jumen Pass. They even reached the outside of Qixia City and gave a lot of money to the damn guard before they were allowed to enter.

After going through untold hardships and spending a large amount of money, he finally entered the damn Glorious Capital, but what he saw was something completely different from what he had imagined.

"Hey, you little bastard, where have you been? Is this still a glow?"

For Ji Ming, who was sightseeing, eating delicious food and doing some small tasks along the way, the feeling might not be that deep.

But these players have experienced a lot after immersing themselves in the life of the Kingdom of Glory for two and a half months, fighting all kinds of battles with various groups of people and even with each other.

Therefore, although in Ji Ming's heart, the vast majority of the nobles in the Glorious Kingdom were useless and hateful insects, a group of demons who could only crawl on the bodies of ordinary people and suck blood.

But in the eyes of players, they are just...

"shit?"

[Fuck, are you still playing? Come on, come on, I'll take you around the Glowing King's Capital. Come and see what these damn beasts are doing.]

Unlike those guild players who are good at networking and think about how to win over more forces first, Death, who has transformed into an independent player, has no worries.

He walked around Qixia City with a live broadcast, taking pictures of everything he saw, frequently talking to passing NPCs, and triggering various side quests and even hidden missions.

It’s not that no one tried to stop them from doing this, but even if the Grim Reaper has withdrawn from the front-line combat sequence, his strength is not comparable to that of these watchdogs.

With his fearless spirit, he successfully broke into many so-called forbidden areas and obtained first-hand images of what was inside.

Although he certainly couldn't force his way into the core of the kingdom, which was a real military stronghold, he could still go to aristocratic banquets and bypass the guards to take a look.

As a result, when I ran in and took a look, let’s not talk about anything else, just the food.

If the nobles of Sunshine City could eat most of it, and the nobles of the southern part could eat most of it, then the nobles of the royal capital clearly couldn't eat much, yet they had to fill a whole table.

"Such extravagance, how many blessings do you sons of bitches have to squander!"

The Grim Reaper had just saved a number of villagers in the south who were nearly starving to death due to the over-exploitation by their lords. How could he tolerate such a situation?
As it happened, because of his overreaction and staying too long, he was discovered by the guards of the banquet, so he decided to go all out and started a fight with them.

But after all, one hero cannot defeat four hands. Faced with the siege of more and more people, the Grim Reaper, who was alone, finally fell into a disadvantage.

So at the critical moment, he took out a terrifying weapon.
