I Can See All The Bosses' Drops-Chapter 871 - 845: The First Badge Appears
"In this competition, you will head to Tam Village as Commanders of Nova City."
"I hope you all have an unforgettable experience in Tam Village."
On the streets of Ancient God Town, the Guardian looked at them and said softly:
"Good luck to you all."
Then the entire desolate Ancient God Town gradually dissolved and dissipated into light points under their gaze.
At the same time, the live game broadcast channel on the official website started splitting into different screens and displayed images.
Evidently, this was not a coordinated action as players had initially guessed.
In Ancient God Town, Zhang Xinying suddenly found that Shengshi, the drunkard, and others around her disappeared unnoticed.
A burst of chaotic noise from the marketplace gradually reached Zhang Xinying's ears:
"Isn't this the Commander?"
"Oh my, greetings to the Commander."
"Wow, this young lady is so beautiful!"
"Little girl, kneel quickly!"
"Boo hoo hoo~~"
"I didn't expect that the Commander of Nova City would really come."
...
Amidst the chaotic clamor, Zhang Xinying gradually made sense of the scene in front of her; it was a street that wasn't particularly wide.
A group of terrified and submissive elderly women and children were kneeling around her.
Zhang Xinying had never seen such a spectacle before, so she was naturally startled:
"What are you doing? Get up quickly!"
As she spoke, Zhang Xinying hurried forward to help up some frail, elderly people:
"Grandpa, stand up; don't do this."
At this moment, a little girl with a ponytail got up first and said:
"Big Sis, you're so beautiful!"
But just as she stood up, the woman next to her stopped her:
"Xiaoying, kneel down quickly, don't be rude."
The girl immediately pouted, looking aggrieved as she knelt down again.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xinying seemed a bit at a loss:
"What are you doing? Get up quickly!"
Saying this, she picked up the little girl:
"Don't cry, it's okay."
The crowd saw Zhang Xinying's expression wasn't faking, and everyone looked around at each other.
Only after confirming that Zhang Xinying wasn't the type of person they imagined did someone attempt to stand up.
However, even so, the fear in their eyes of Zhang Xinying didn't recede much.
Seeing everyone looking at her with a mix of awe and fear made Zhang Xinying uncomfortable, like having thorns on her back.
Although Zhang Xinying had already known her identity and such information before coming here, she was still deeply shocked when she actually saw the scene before her eyes.
She didn't know whether all this in front of her was a set of data or something that truly existed.
Having played this game for more than a year, it was her first time seeing such an impoverished village, where even the faces of young men in their twenties bore the marks of time.
Zhang Xinying preferred to believe that they were the native inhabitants here, existing with flesh and blood in another world.
The villagers who stood up did not lose their reverence for their superiors just because of Zhang Xinying's kind smile.
After standing up, everyone suspiciously retreated backward.
Zhang Xinying felt quite helpless about this.
At this moment, the woman braved herself and stepped forward, taking the little girl from Zhang Xinying's arms and ignoring her resistance:
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Then turned and ran away.
Watching the people disperse around her, Zhang Xinying, dressed in a luxurious robe, stood alone on the street, contrasting starkly with the surrounding villagers' simplicity.
Just then, an angry shout suddenly came from behind Zhang Xinying:
"If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"
With strong perception, Zhang Xinying knew that the other party was talking about her.
Because Zhang Xinying could clearly feel a force rapidly approaching from behind.
Realizing the malice in the other's tone and the terror in the villagers' eyes, Zhang Xinying immediately anticipated what was happening.
Someone nearby couldn't bear to watch and hurriedly reminded:
"Commander, watch out!"
"Quick, get out of the way."
Seeing Zhang Xinying's delicate body about to collide with the frenzied beast vehicle, some timid people couldn't bear to watch the bloody scene unfolding and quickly covered their eyes.
But in the next moment!
They saw Zhang Xinying wave her Magic Staff, and the Light Element gathered swiftly around her like elves.
Zhang Xinying turned to face the rapidly approaching beast vehicle.
Facing the fierce-looking driver, a transparent Energy Shield instantly formed in front of Zhang Xinying:
"Holy Light Shield"
At the moment the Light Shield was formed, the giant beast resembling a rhino immediately collided with the Light Shield:
"Boom~"
The instant the two collided, an invisible energy wave instantly spread out in all directions, directly blowing the surrounding shops and pedestrians into chaos, screams echoing continuously.
Zhang Xinying was forced to take half a step back by the enormous recoil.
But as the instigator.
The giant beast that was just unstoppable moments ago now fell to the ground, its skull cracked open, blood flowing profusely.
The coachman behind the Beast Vehicle was quick-witted, leaping to safety in the nick of time.
A woman with radiant beauty sitting inside the carriage gracefully landed on the ground, unaffected in the slightest.
The coachman, a guard draped in Black Armor with a scimitar at his waist, was a middle-aged man over forty.
After landing, instead of apologizing for his actions, he teased:
"Didn't expect it's the Commander from Nova City."
"I was wondering who would dare block the Jia Family's carriage."
But as soon as he finished speaking:
"Clang~"
He immediately unsheathed the scimitar at his side, pointing it straight at Zhang Xinying, his voice sharp and menacing:
"I now suspect you're impersonating the Commander."
"Please surrender quietly and cooperate with us for an investigation."
Zhang Xinying looked at the panic-stricken people around, contrasting sharply with the arrogant guard before her.
Never mind the fault wasn't hers to begin with.
Just the other party's overbearing attitude already stirred aversion in Zhang Xinying's heart:
"What if I refuse?"
"Refuse?"
A gleam of murderous intent flashed in the guard's eyes as he said:
"Then I will have no choice but to..."
But before he could finish, a lively voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Guard Qin, don't be rude."
At this moment, a woman in a purple dress gracefully walked over.
She first paid respects to Zhang Xinying:
"I apologize for frightening the Commander."
"This guard is usually a bit reckless, really he means no harm."
Having said that, she took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to a nearby servant:
"Consider this my responsibility for the damages, distribute it among them."
The servant respectfully took the purse, then arrogantly said to the side:
"All of you, come over here so I can see how badly you're hurt."
During this time, Zhang Xinying remained silent.
She watched as those severely injured villagers hurriedly said with others' support:
"No problem, no problem, I just fell carelessly; a couple of days of rest will do."
The owner of a rice shop also chimed in with a forced smile:
"These rice sacks fell because of my carelessness, nothing to do with the lady."
The servant, hearing this, immediately sneered:
"You people are so careless, honestly."
...
Though the servant held the compensation money from the woman, no one dared to step forward to claim it.
Seeing this, Guard Qin looked on with disdain and said:
"A bunch of lowly lives, cleaner if they die."
Hearing this, Zhang Xinying's pretty face flushed red with anger as she pointed at the guard and said:
"What did you say!"
Just as the guard was about to retort, he was stopped by the woman in purple.
The woman spoke:
"Commander, as you can see."
"This was just a misunderstanding earlier, and we have offered compensation."
"When you return, I hope you can put in a good word for the Jia Family with the City Lord."
With that, the guard reluctantly took out a hefty pouch of money from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Xinying, the woman said:
"This is a token of appreciation from the Jia Family to the Commander, please accept it."
Listening to the crisp sound of Gold Coins clinking against each other inside the pouch, Zhang Xinying felt a sense of suffocation, unable to vent or swallow it.
The villagers watched as the guard held the pouch before Zhang Xinying, and she stared blankly at the Gold Coins, just as disappointment was about to show on everyone's faces.
At this moment, an aunt carrying a basket of vegetables walked out towards Zhang Xinying and said:
"Kill him, and this will be yours."
In an instant, a delicate emblem quietly lay in the basket, shining brilliantly under the sun.
