Experts Fear Landladies Too

Luo Jun was excitedly checking his rewards, but behind him came only sighs.

In total, besides him, the only other people with valid accounts are Jin Fei and Yu Qiudi, plus Qi Xingzi is in charge of controlling the chessboard. These three people will probably get good evaluations, while the others will basically be out of luck for rewards.

So, the chances of getting rewards from participating in the Chaos Mission are not high. Based on this, only about a quarter of the participants did not leave empty-handed.

Of course, the smaller number of participants in this reward event was partly due to Luo Jun's dominant performance, drawing fire and securing the vast majority of kills. However, conversely, it's uncertain whether victory would have been possible without Luo Jun's participation.

No wonder so many people try to avoid participating in Chaos Mission; the risks are high, and the rewards aren't necessarily good... If this is the case even for those in the Heart Refining Realm, it's perfectly normal that ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm don't possess any powerful magical artifacts...

After reviewing the comments, the scene quickly quieted down. Luo Jun, who had his back to everyone, sensed something was off. He slowly turned around and found that, apart from Yu Qiudi who was dozing off, everyone's eyes were on him.

What do you mean? You don't mean you've guessed I've made a fortune and are planning to kill and steal it, do you?

Luo Jun immediately became alert.

"The younger generation is truly formidable..." It was Huai Xu first broke the awkward silence. "Esteemed One you do not reveal your true face, you must have your reasons, and we will not delve into them... Without Mister Ye's efforts, I fear I would have perished on this mission today..."

"Although I didn't see it, I can guess that the other side probably concentrated their firepower on Mister Ye in the end."

The few who survived to the end all nodded.

Huai Xu sighed and said, "Generally speaking, the Red Side's pieces are stronger than ours. The normal way to play is to rely on skill to maneuver and try to gain the initiative, using strength to defeat weakness. Even so, it will most likely be a protracted battle. Even if we win, the time limit of the last 24 hours will be very tight."

As he spoke, Huai Xu looked at Luo Jun.

"But with Mister Ye around, his powerful performance attracted a lot of firepower, forcing the Red Side to expend a lot of pieces to attack you. This not only led us to the final victory, but also brought this task, which should have been very difficult, to an early end."

As he spoke, the elderly Old Man cupped his hands and bowed slightly to Luo Jun.

"Esteemed One which Lineage you belong to in reality, or whether Wanted List, I sincerely thank you for this mission!"

Seeing such an elderly Senior bow to him, Luo Jun was startled. He instinctively wanted to help him up, but seeing that the other contestants were also bowing and expressing their gratitude, and remembering Ye's persona, Luo Jun held back and said calmly.

"I was just completing my mission; I didn't intend to save anyone. You don't need to thank me."

Speaking of which, this mask is indeed magical. Originally, Luo Jun was just afraid of being exposed, so he set a cold and aloof persona for himself. But after playing the role for a while, he became more and more adept at it. Occasionally, when he almost revealed his true nature, the mask would vaguely remind him to continue playing the role he had set, and even help him to do things that were more in line with the persona.

Could this be a hidden effect of the Midnight Mask?

"Regardless of the motive, the fact remains that they saved us!" Huai Xu's attitude remained very respectful, and even Jin Fei, who had been somewhat arrogant at first, stepped forward.

"I admit, I was initially a little resentful, feeling you didn't live up to your reputation. But your performance in this mission has completely won me over!" Jin Fei had personally experienced Ye's "easi" Counter-kill Pao and Ma, and had the most direct feeling about Ye's strength. He sincerely extended his hand:

"This time, there were no tricks. I truly admire you!"

Luo Jun glanced at Jin Fei's hand, thinking, "A trick? What trick? So you were trying to trick me when you shook hands earlier, weren't you?"

Having learned of Jin Fei's previous "malicious intentions," Luo Jun is no longer willing to give him face, regardless of his attitude.

He stood with his hands behind his back and sneered, "You dare to show off your petty skills before an expert! I'll let it slide now that you're being sincere!"

After saying that, he activated the return in his mind, and his figure disappeared from the platform.

Jin Fei withdrew his hand somewhat reluctantly, shaking his head with a wry smile, "I've offended a formidable fellow."

Zong Zhiyong, who was standing nearby, patted him on the shoulder and said, "These kinds of experts usually have eccentric tempers, but judging from his demeanor, he shouldn't hold a grudge against you for your offense."

"It's a pity we can't see the battle; we don't know what style he uses." Jin Fei gazed at the spot where Luo Jun disappeared. "With his strength, he must be famous. Judging from his fighting style, we can guess a thing or two."

"Do you think he might be a Peak Expert?" the Buzz Cut Muscular Man asked.

"That's impossible..." the others retorted, "Even if Peak Expert participates in Tier A Mission, it's unlikely they'd be assigned to the same group as us..."

"Maybe she's a rising star!" Duan Feilan leaned closer, the girl looking completely innocent. "There are so many young geniuses these days. I was planning to go to Lingyun Island to challenge the Golden Edge Witch, but when I got there I found out she wasn't there..."

"A rising star?" Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, then most shook their heads. Huai Xu laughed and said, "If a rising star with this kind of strength emerges, it won't be long before the landscape of the cultivation world changes..."

Back in his Five Star Hotel Guest Room, Luo Jun removed his mask and put it away, unable to contain his excitement, and immediately began to check his spoils.

Crisscross to the description, it's a vehicle, which definitely won't fit in the room. I'll try it out once we get into the Savage Wilderness. Let's check out the others first.

First and foremost is the "Bottom Line".

These are seemingly ordinary shorts, a bit looser than regular underwear, but much smaller than knee-length shorts... They seem like they could be worn as an inner or outer layer without any problem.

Luo Jun poked, pulled, and tore at it a few times with his hands, and sure enough, it was like Hundred Treasure Box. Once it exceeded its capacity, it would lose its collision volume. Wearing this thing, he would no longer have to worry about being exposed.

Luo Jun didn't hesitate and put it on immediately. This thing seemed to be able to adjust the size according to the body shape, and it fit him just right, neither too loose nor too tight.

Then came the Nine Revolutions Great Restoration Pill and the Poison Guide. The former was a small box containing a pill the size of a bottle cap, jet black and glossy, emitting a strange fragrance. Just smelling it made one feel their Genes stirring, instinctively wanting to swallow it whole.

As for the Poison Guide, it was a small bottle containing a dark green liquid. Upon opening the cap and taking a sniff, a strong, unpleasant odor emanated from it, a combination of bitterness, sourness, and rottenness, exuding a dangerous aura that instinctively made one want to stay away.

Goodness, without any item hints, who would have guessed that these two things are taken together?

That's right, if it's not paired with something else, even a fool wouldn't want to drink that Poison Guide.

After checking them, Luo Jun put the two items away. He had no Regret now, and without intermediate attribute correction, it wasn't suitable for him to take the stuff. Starting tomorrow, he would test it once a day, not stopping until he achieved the highest efficacy!

Next up is the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade.

This was the powerful weapon that Luo Jun had been longing for, and it also had such high historical value. The moment he obtained it, Luo Jun felt as if he had transformed into a legendary hero, full of power and prestige.

"It should be a long-handled weapon... The ceiling in this room is only a little over two meters high; if it's placed vertically, it'll easily pierce the ceiling..."

Luo Jun adjusted his posture and summoned the large sword horizontally...

Crack!

With a sharp crack, the wooden door to the room was sliced in two...

Then came the sound of half a door panel smashing to the ground...

At the same time, the landlady's shouts and curses came from downstairs, "Who is it? What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Luo Jun hurriedly sheathed his broadsword, and soon the landlady, dressed in her pajamas, caught up. When she saw the room door that had been split in two, she immediately became furious.

"Hey Little Luo, what are you doing? Demolishing property in the middle of the night?"

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..." Luo Jun hurriedly apologized, "I'm so excited about going into the Savage Wilderness in a couple of days and couldn't sleep, so I was playing around with the weapon my Master gave me and accidentally triggered a skill..."

"You think you can mess with me? Don't tear down my door!" The proprietress naturally objected. "This is a family heirloom..."

"Don't worry, I'll pay!" To shut the proprietress up, Luo Jun offered a price she couldn't refuse... While haggling, he desperately missed the Dice of Heavenly Secrets and the Wealth Ring, but alas, he couldn't use them now...

After tearfully paying a hefty price to replace the broken door, the landlady called the boss over, who nailed a wooden board to Luo Jun's door for the night, planning to replace it with a new one the next day.

As for the other guests who were disturbed when the door was nailed shut, the landlady scolded them all back, out of consideration for Luo Jun's compensation.

After the minor incident subsided, Luo Jun saw the boss and his wife off, returned to the house, and took out the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade again. This time, he was very careful and didn't break anything...
