Chapter 181 - 181: The exchange match
[ super armor: host’s bones are now as hard as steel, and the next game is very stable. Any attack that hits host will have a hard time getting hit recovery.
Under super armor, host has great immunity to knock-back, knock-down, float, and slow. ]
When a person was hit, it would hurt.
If one was struck by an external force, one’s body would also retreat and sway, unable to maintain stability.
Because of this, when two people of equal strength fought, the main goal was to destroy the other’s center of gravity, make the other reveal a flaw, and give him a fatal blow.
But now, this kind of move was no longer effective on Lu Chen. With his super armor, Lu Chen was able to keep his body steady even when he was attacked.
This gave Lu Chen the ability to withstand the enemy’s attacks in future battles. If the enemy lost his balance in the process, it would be the end of him.
It was also because of his super armor that Lu Chen was able to withstand the attacks of the Barbarian bone Warriors. Now, even if the Barbarian bone Warriors could beat Lu Chen to the point where he coughed out blood, he wouldn’t be able to move an inch.
Of course, the others didn’t know about this. In their eyes, Lu Chen’s strength was like the ocean, unfathomable.
To be defeated by a single punch from such an expert, naturally, the barbarians were convinced.
Soon, the 30 barbarians were all sent flying by Lu Chen’s punch.
Lu Chen didn’t sneer at the barbarians who were lying on the ground. Instead, he said, ” “Let’s go and eat.”
“Roar!”
This time, they didn’t go out either. Among the supplies sent by the people of Yunzhou, there was food. They found quite a lot of meat and Lu Chen brought the barbarians to roast it.
After the Barbarian meat was cooked, none of the impatient and rough barbarians were ready to eat it. They all looked at Lu Chen. This was the effect of being beaten into submission.
“Let’s eat together.”
After Lu Chen opened his mouth, the other barbarians cheered and started eating.
While the other barbarians were eating the Barbarian meat, Lu Chen was being served.
Xiao Wei and red butterfly Ji stood on Lu Chen’s left and right, helping him roast the food, cut the pieces, and add the seasoning. Lu Chen was also required to do this.
At the same time, the maid named Luan ‘er was massaging Lu Chen’s back.
Luan ‘er and Xiao Wei were busy serving Lu Chen while red butterfly Ji was feeding Lu Chen with food. She said to Lu Chen respectfully, ” my husband is so cunning. When I was with the seventh Prince, his subordinates had never been so respectful to him.
The originally proud red butterfly Ji was now humbly complimenting him. Naturally, this made Lu Chen feel good.
However, the comfort wasn’t enough to make Lu Chen forget himself. He was frowning and thinking about how to earn more mastery points.
Just now, Lu Chen earned 3000 mastery points from defeating the 30 barbarians. However, he would only get the points from the first defeat and the number would decrease after that.
Lu Chen didn’t want to beat up all his subordinates anymore.
do I have to go to the military camp and beat up barbarians of the same level as me? no, I’ll anger the public if I beat them up every day.
Lu Chen was troubled, but he didn’t hide it. Naturally, red butterfly Ji noticed it.
“Does my dear husband have any troubles? you can tell me.”
Lu Chen didn’t reject her.
“The Grand Magus elder told me not to choose my territory in a hurry. Do you know the reason?”
What Lu Chen was worried about right now was not being able to leave the Royal Court. If he had a territory, he could go out and expand it. In the process of expanding, he would have to fight and in that case, Lu Chen would have an endless supply of mastery points.
Red butterfly Ji was also a little shocked by what Lu Chen said.
“Not letting you choose your territory, that’s impossible. Right now, there are refugees everywhere outside the court. The higher-ups of the court should be eager to find a place to settle down.”
As she spoke, red butterfly Ji suddenly thought of something and stopped talking.
“You know the reason?”
Lu Chen realized something when she stopped. On the other hand, red butterfly Ji only hesitated for a moment before she said, ” “Master, I think I know a little. This period of time is the third year since you urged us barbarians to sign the contract with the cloud region.”
what do you mean? what does the agreement between Yunzhou and the Royal Court have to do with me? ”
my dear husband, the contract we have with Yunzhou is not static. Every year, due to various things, there will be some changes.
“I remember that when we concluded the contract last year, Yunzhou and our tribe had a friendly competition at the border city.”
Lu Chen wasn’t stupid. He immediately understood what red butterfly Ji meant.
it’s called an exchange match, but it’s actually a competition to show off your strength and then make the losing party pay more.
“Lord husband is intelligent, that’s how it is.”
Lu Chen was still a little confused even after he found out.
“Don’t tell me that the championship is being led by us, the younger generation?”
no, I heard that every time before the contract is formed, our King will fight with the strong of Yunzhou.
but, you know the situation we are in right now. The evils are our common enemy. In such an environment, those powerful beings will not fight to the death. They won’t even get injured.
if they can’t decide who’s the winner, the leaders below will fight. After the leaders fight, the will realm geniuses will fight, and the flesh realm geniuses will be the last to fight.
Lu Chen was speechless after hearing red butterfly Ji’s words.
“There are a lot of battles like this!” there’s nothing we can do. After all, this is a treaty between two large states. We have to compete in all aspects.
Lu Chen agreed with that.
Just like in his previous life, if the two countries were at war, it would be a competition of population and military strength, and the stronger one would gain the upper hand.
In times of war, everything was based on combat.
However, in times of peace, if the two powers were unwilling to start a war and had disputes of interests, it would be troublesome.
Economic, military, technology, culture, sports, and all sorts of competitions would be held.
The current barbarians were just like China and the Eagle Kingdom in his previous life. Both of them could not easily start a war, but they both wanted to gain benefits for their own side.
Because of this, every time they formed a contract, the two of them would madly use their strength to obtain benefits for themselves.
At this moment, red butterfly Ji also spoke.
my dear husband, the Grand Magus asked you to stay so that you can fight.
Although the flesh realm is a competition of reserve power and you can only influence a few percent of the power, I hope your Highness can do your best.
“You don’t need to say that.”
If a competition had a 100% impact on the contract, then the Barbarian King’s battle alone would have a 50% impact.
It couldn’t be helped. In a world where the strong were respected, a top-notch expert could change the balance of power in a country.
After that, the leaders under the king could influence 30, while the remaining geniuses could only influence 20.
As for Lu Chen and the others, they only had a few percent of their strength left, and this was only because they were only in the flesh and blood Realm.
This might seem small, but it was a war between two continents.
For example, the trade dispute between China and Eagle Country might not affect the two large countries by a few percent, but for an individual, that would be tens of billions, and it was in US dollars. This was already very big for an individual.
even if the impact is only a few percent, if we convert it into equipment and resources, it’s enough to equip tens of thousands of barbarians. If I perform well in this exchange competition, my status in the tribe will definitely soar.
as my status rises, I’ll be able to receive more support from the barbarians. Whether it’s the spiritual resources of the barbarians or the skills of the barbarians in the small world, these are all things I need..
