Chapter 351: Chapter 268 The Mighty Boss (4K)_1

A moment ago.

On the low hill a hundred or two hundred meters away from the side of the national highway, several snipers had been waiting at various firing points for the appearance of their target.

On this hilltop, there were also twenty or thirty fully armed individuals––not donning armor and wielding swords, but holding various types of modern and modified firearms.

“Before the great change, even with the boss’s resources, we couldn’t have gotten these many weapons into Xuan Country. But now, not only is it very simple to bring them into the country, but we can also get a lot of high-grade stuff previously prohibited.”

“The only problem is the supernatural items related to you players. The more expensive, some of them even priceless. Were it not for these, why would we resort to violence?”

The speaker was a young man, genteel in appearance and wearing glasses.

He seemed to be the spokesperson for the ‘boss’.

Next to the young man were four individuals styled and armed differently from the rest.

Three men and a woman, their outfits made it easy to identify them as a Great Sword Warrior, a Hooded Assassin, a shooter, and a healer.

The leading Great Sword Warrior impatiently said, “Enough talking, just tell us about the target.”

“Alright, Mr. Hei Jiao.” The young man paused, “Our target this time is a small company called Mu Fei Trade. The company hasn’t been around for long, but according to our investigation, the Soul Crystals this company has spent on procurement have already exceeded a thousand pieces.”

“A thousand pieces? Are you sure?!”

The shooter couldn’t help but curse.

The leading Great Sword Warrior also gave a surprised sidelong glance. After all, the concept of a thousand Soul Crystals was too exaggerated. For all the years they have been in the Eternal World, they probably haven’t earned a total of a thousand Soul Crystals.

The bespectacled young man seemed to know what they were thinking and added, “We are certainly sure. This company has trade relations with many large trading firms, with a single transaction often involving tens of Soul Crystals, and sometimes as many as one or two hundred.”

“This might be the wealth of Lord Players.”

“We have also investigated. The Lord behind this company is just a commoner who has newly become a Lord. He may have received some investments and is a standout among the new Lords, but he is not a Second Generation Lord with a strong backing. You all can act without concern.”

A Lord like this, with opportunity and potential but with no actualization of said potential, seemed indeed like the best target for a heist.

They were weak, and they might even be richer than many old Lords.

It was like a kid flaunting gold bricks in public.

The Hooded Assassin, the shooter, and a few others all laughed, “We’re not afraid of any Second Generation Lord, we just want to know if this target is worth it.”

“Ah, we’ll have to rely on you all then.”

The young man sneered inwardly.

He left out one point; the reason for choosing this target was not solely because the company was rich, but more importantly, the company was always buying various Remnant Souls. To date, they have already spent several hundred Soul Crystals on purchasing common one-star Remnant Souls.

Common one-star troops? No one wants them, yet this company is keen to purchase. There must be something afoot.

After analysis, they concluded that the company had a sacrificial type of treasure.

And its rank was extremely high.

How could a rank that could devour thousands and tens of thousands of Remnant Souls not be high?!

Even amongst the circle of Lords, such a treasure was extremely rare!

More importantly…

“This sacrificial treasure, it is likely on Lanxing, rather than in the Eternal World.”

Because, transporting materials across realms required a hefty cross-realm tax. The correct approach would naturally be to perform the sacrifice on Lanxing, and after ‘loss-extraction of essence-forming the treasure’, send it into the Eternal World.

The boss wants this treasure!

Although Hei Jiao and the other four players had impressive strength, to them they were just… a tool.”

…

Three sniper bullets fell to the ground, startling everyone present.

Inside the company, the ordinary people who had come along were shaking in fear. The security department’s players pushed them down, “Stay hidden! Stay hidden! There’s a gunman!”

The players were also panicking.

Although they had supernatural powers and had experienced many ‘life and death battles’, they had never faced a gunfight… this was the first time.

It was said that a first-order professional level could predict or block a bullet, but this was based on making the correct judgement.

Getting shot could lead to death.

And this was a sniper rifle.

Most of the players who had applied to join the company lacked the heart to fight. Under the muzzle of the sniper rifle, they couldn’t make a calm judgement.

Luckily, they had their troops.

“Come out, my Chief Guards!”

“I choose you, Great Swordsman!”

“Go, Board-Goblin!”

They represented the vast majority of the players, with most of their main force being common two-star and three-star troops.

But through their imagination, the players armed their limited troops to the teeth.

The two-star guards were wearing gorgeous gold-plated armor. Whether they were strong or not was another matter, but their visual effects surpassed even the rare three-star Royal Guard.

A Big Goblin, holding a weapon like a door panel, was at the front, sparking as bullets hit it.

The captain of the security department, an experienced player named Lin Sushuang, who was personally recruited by Sophia, immediately called out a huge Ironclad Scorpion to shield in front of him.

This Ironclad Scorpion also underwent modification, it was exceptionally large, resembling a moving fortress tank.
