Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 211 - 186: Four Thousand Bitter Workers, You Are King Dongsheng

At this moment, on Yamero Star, inside Shanhai Pass City, more than three thousand Beastman Laborers looked around in confusion. Most of them were scratching their heads, unsure of what to do.

Suddenly, the Beastman Laborers let out cries of surprise. After a moment of chaos, they cleared a path.

The ten Purple-skinned Beastman Ladies and Frank had returned.

The Green-skinned Beastman Laborers stared intently at the Purple-skinned Beastman Ladies.

Purple is a noble color. Purple-skinned Orcs were very rare, and female Purple-skinned Orcs were the rarest of the rare.

In the eyes of the Green-skinned Orcs, the Purple-skinned Orcs were akin to royalty.

And female Purple-skinned Orcs were like Saintesses.

Thus, when the Purple-skinned Beastman Ladies appeared, it was as if a fire had been lit in the hearts of the many Beastman Laborers. They couldn’t help but puff out their chests, wanting to curry favor and serve them.

This was a "simp" setting.

As Professional Soldiers recruited from barracks, although they had personality settings, they rarely showed emotional fluctuations. Only in specific situations, or when encountering special events, items, or people, would certain special settings be triggered, causing emotional responses.

For example, when Leonidas saw Superman’s cloak, he showed a fondness for it.

The Green-skinned Beastman Laborers seeing the Purple-skinned Beastman Ladies was a similar situation. Each and every one of them wanted nothing more than to go over and worship the ground they walked on.

When the Purple-skinned Beastman Ladies saw them, however, their reaction was plain. They showed no joy at seeing their own kind, appearing rather cold and aloof instead.

Behind the crowd of Beastman Laborers, Ye Qitian, Xue Shentian, and Li Mingli sat on the ground. They were talking, trying to figure out where they had been brought.

Xue Shentian held an Intelligence Scroll, which he had just obtained. It contained some information about Shanhai Pass here, but it was all useless.

Ye Qitian spoke up, "It’s obvious we’ve been forcibly re-classed. Our Lord Skills are disabled and we can’t use our Storage Items, but our Lord Talents are unaffected. I’m a Bitter Worker, so I can reduce my sentence through labor. I also have a Professional Trait that slightly increases my endurance. You two are ’Bao’Er.’ I don’t know what kind of Professional Traits you have... Huh, I just noticed, you two are actually quite good-looking. Are you wearing light makeup?"

Xue Shentian and Li Mingli exchanged an awkward glance.

Their current identity was basically equivalent to that of a Male Geisha; they had to sell their art or their bodies to reduce their sentences.

They even had Professional Traits: they were beautified. Their faces became delicate, they automatically wore light makeup, their skin became smooth and fine, and their makeup would even be reapplied automatically.

Of course, they were too embarrassed to say any of this out loud.

"That despicable Sun Wukong! He re-classed us without a clear explanation! I am a magnificent Prince!"

Xue Shentian slapped his thigh. Wang Yi had sentenced him to 60 years. He had to actually serve 60 years as a prostitute before his sentence would end. Sixty years! Sixty years as a prostitute with no human rights! He couldn’t even imagine how he would get through the next 60 years.

’At least I don’t have to mine ore, I guess.’

"’If I run into refined clients, life might be bearable. But what if I encounter some brutal ones? What then?’"

Li Mingli muttered, warily eyeing the surrounding Green-skinned Orcs. He was terrified they would suddenly rush over and bend him over.

Ye Qitian’s eyes darted around before he offered a suggestion, "If you two feel like you can’t take it, why not just kill yourselves? You won’t be Chaos Lords anymore, but at least you can leave this place and become free Adventurers!"

"Become an Adventurer at a time like this? Wouldn’t that just be asking for abuse?" Xue Shentian waved his hand dismissively. "No way, no way. If I die, I might become a Sufferer!"

Li Mingli nodded in agreement. "Yeah, becoming a Sufferer would be the real tragedy!"

Ye Qitian hadn’t been to the World of Suffering and didn’t know the lore about Sufferers. "What’s a Sufferer?" he asked.

"A Sufferer is a Sufferer. Just imagine a Resentful Spirit soaking in water!" Xue Shentian explained briefly, then turned to Li Mingli. "Old Li, are you going to make a run for it?"

"Of course I’m running!" Li Mingli stood up. "So what if you two have S-Class Talents? Right now, you’re not as well-off as me. I have Continuous Blink. A single blink can cross a hundred li. It won’t be hard to escape from here!"

"So what if you escape? You can’t get rid of this damn prostitute profession, and you can’t use your Lord Skills. Your life will still be just as miserable."

"Old Li, maybe you should run. Find a way to assassinate Sun Wukong. If you kill him, maybe we’ll be free!"

"Heh, you want me to assassinate Sun Wukong? Go ask around the Three Realms and Six Paths, which bastard could possibly pull that off?"

"True, even the Eco-Dominator was that strong, and he still got blown to bits!" Xue Shentian sighed. "Forget it. I’m just going to lie flat and let it rot. Our opponent is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong. It’s no disgrace to fall into his hands. If we get a chance to suck up to him, maybe he’ll be in a good mood and let us go."

"Let’s hope so!"

Ye Qitian nodded.

Just then, with a flash of light, Wang Yi and Jin Buhuan appeared in an open space not far away.

Wang Yi’s gaze swept over the area, and he quickly spotted the trio. He walked up to them and said, "So, the three of you, how do you find this place?"

The three of them remained silent, their expressions varied.

Wang Yi chuckled. "Alright, drop the wronged act. None of you are good people. You kill Indigenous People without a second thought, each one of you more ruthless than the last. I’m already being generous by giving you a chance to live, so don’t be ungrateful. Here, one Fasting Pill for each of you. Eat it and get to work!"

"I know when to bow my head. I accept!"

Ye Qitian cupped his hands, said no more, took a Fasting Pill from Wang Yi’s hand, and swallowed it. Then he went off on his own to find the city gate, apparently heading out to work.

Xue Shentian and Li Mingli also took their Fasting Pills and were about to wander off, but Wang Yi stopped Xue Shentian. "King Dongsheng, you stay here and recite the *Dizi Gui*!"

"What?"

Xue Shentian was stunned.

’Recite the *Dizi Gui*? Is this a joke?’

’Or does this Sun Wukong just have it in for me and is deliberately messing with me?’

"I don’t know it!"

Xue Shentian roared.

"Then the *Sanzi Jing*!"

"I don’t know that either!"

"You must know the multiplication table, right? Recite it for me a hundred times right here! Or else I’ll find a Beastman Laborer to bend you over!"

Wang Yi’s tone was ice-cold, not sounding like he was joking at all. It scared Xue Shentian so much his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and began reciting the multiplication table.

Wang Yi nodded and turned to Jin Buhuan. "He is King Dongsheng. Watch him closely. Memorize his appearance and the sound of his voice. Keep your eyes on him!"

"Oh."

Jin Buhuan was a bit confused, but he followed Wang Yi’s orders and began to observe Xue Shentian carefully.

Wang Yi, meanwhile, walked to a more open area in the distance. He raised his arm and brought out 24 armored off-road vehicles. With another pat of his arm, he produced a pile of Nail Rakes of various sizes.

"Laborers, come get your tools! Time to get to work!"

Wang Yi shouted, busying himself for a while, and quickly distributed the Nail Rakes.

As for the armored off-road vehicles, the Beastman Laborers didn’t know how to drive them, so Wang Yi temporarily put Frank in charge of them.

Following Wang Yi’s orders, the Beastman Laborers quickly left Shanhai Pass City, spread out over the Vein Gold beach, and began their work of collecting ore.

And because of the presence of the ten Beastman Ladies, they were all surprisingly motivated. Their desire to work soared, and not a single one of them slacked off.

Wang Yi looked at the scene of more than four thousand Beastman Laborers at work, then glanced at the idle armored off-road vehicles inside Shanhai Pass. ’I might need to station a group of managers and armed guards here permanently,’ he mused.

Although the Beastman Laborers were designed as a soldier type that toils without complaint, wherever there are people, there is Jianghu. Conflicts might arise among them, so having some armed guards was still necessary.

’Of course, there’s no rush for this matter.’

Once all the Beastman Laborers were busy, Wang Yi didn’t indulge in any leisure time either. He piloted the Galaxy Airship to explore farther away.

Ye Qitian watched Wang Yi fly away in the airship, his eyes flickering. He sighed and muttered, "What on earth is this place? High-level materials are everywhere, you can even just pick up Chaos Crystal Stones. This is too ridiculous!"

At that moment, Ye Qitian was holding a Chaos Crystal Stone in his hand, with another one tucked in his robes.

But having been forcibly re-classed as a Bitter Worker, he couldn’t use Storage Items, nor could he absorb the energy from the Chaos Crystal Stones. He could only sigh silently at the stones, feeling extremely envious of Wang Yi.

Meanwhile, a thousand li away, Li Mingli stood alone on a desolate patch of land. He was starting to panic!

He had used Continuous Blink ten times, escaping a thousand li, but he hadn’t seen a single person.

He looked up at the deep Starry Sky and lamented, "Don’t tell me this is actually a planet out in space? Damn it, my Chaos Energy is running low. I can’t keep running around randomly. I should head back. It would be a tragedy if I ended up stranded alone in the wilderness! I’ll have to plan my escape more carefully!"

Shaking his head, Li Mingli began to head back the way he came.

Time passed. After more than half a day, Wang Yi returned to Shanhai Pass City with a few gains.

"’Forget it. I’ll just leave this place to the Laborers. I just need to come back periodically to collect the resources.’"

Wang Yi muttered to himself. On this exploration trip, he had flown at least five thousand li, discovering many mines, caves, and ore-rich beaches, as well as new types of metal materials.

’There are still too few people!’ he thought.

’This huge planet needs to be developed intensively. I have to teleport more laborers over. I have plenty of Fasting Pills anyway, so feeding tens of thousands more people won’t be a problem.’

But his exploration for the day was about over. It was time to gather the resources and return to his territory.

The Beastman Laborers piled the materials they had gathered inside the Shanhai Pass Camp. There was a huge pile of Vein Gold and a small pile of Crystal Stones.

Wang Yi collected them with his Starlight Bracelet. Checking the Starlight Bracelet’s information panel, he learned that he had a total of 430,000 pieces of Vein Gold, but only 8,290 Low-Level Chaos Crystal Stones!

"’More than four thousand Beastmen, working for so long, and on average, each one found less than two Chaos Crystal Stones? That’s much worse than I expected!’"

Wang Yi grumbled, but inwardly he was already delighted.

8,290 Low-Level Chaos Crystal Stones. If he absorbed all the Chaos Energy from them, it would be 16,580,000!

’This is already an outrageous amount!’

"’Clocking out, clocking out! Let the Laborers all clock out and rest!’"

Wang Yi shouted to one of the Purple-skinned Beastman Ladies nearby, then went to build some luxurious shacks.

He wasn’t short on Chaos Energy now, so he acted generously, spending 20,000 points of Chaos Energy in one go to build a full 6,400 luxurious shacks.

"’Let the Laborers live in the shacks for now. I should go hand-craft Huaguo Mountain!’"

Wang Yi’s heart was full of anticipation.

A moment later, Wang Yi found Jin Buhuan. He first led him to a deserted wilderness area, then took out a Town Recall Scroll and used it, bringing him back to Eggshell Village.

Before this, Jin Buhuan had been staring at Xue Shentian like a prison guard. Even after Xue Shentian finished reciting the multiplication table, he continued to follow him. Wherever Xue Shentian went, he went.

Xue Shentian was endlessly annoyed by this, but he couldn’t get rid of Jin Buhuan or shake him off. He felt extremely frustrated and increasingly thought Jin Buhuan was some kind of pervert, terrified that he would suddenly bend him over from behind!

When Jin Buhuan was led away by Wang Yi, Xue Shentian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, having returned safely to Eggshell Village, Wang Yi asked Jin Buhuan, "Did you get a clear look?"

Jin Buhuan nodded. "Crystal clear!"

"Good!" Wang Yi then took out an Enhance +3 Disguise Pill. "Swallow this pill. From now on, you are King Dongsheng. I want you to take charge of the Dongsheng Prince Mansion. In the future, I might even need you to enter the royal court to help me! Do you dare or not?"

Jin Buhuan’s expression turned solemn. He bowed and said, "This subordinate... dares!"
