Seeing Luo Chen speak this way, Han Jiaren, standing to one side, was clearly taken aback. Then, an involuntary look of contempt appeared in her eyes.
The two people before them were third-level mutants. Listening to Luo Chen’s tone, he seemed to intend to force his way in.
But Luo Chen was only a first-level mutant. Forget two third-level mutants, even one could kill him in the blink of an eye.
Originally, Han Jiaren had thought that since he was a man favoured by Kim Soo-yeon, and also a first-level mutant, he should have some skill.
But now, after interacting with Luo Chen, Han Jiaren realised that perhaps her expectations of Luo Chen had been too high.
First he said he would snatch the divine spirit. Now he was actually planning to force his way in like a man seeking death.
Han Jiaren sighed inwardly. It seemed this Mr. Luo could only be an ordinary friend.
And just as the two third-level mutants guarding the door were about to speak, two more men suddenly approached from afar.
“Jiaren, you again?” One of the men greeted Han Jiaren. Clearly, the two sides knew each other.
These two men had a dashing and debonair appearance, carrying a young, fresh-meat vibe. They looked fair and clean, with smoky eye makeup and eyeliner.
If we were to judge by Korean aesthetics, then undoubtedly, these two men looked much better than Luo Chen no matter how you looked at them.
Most importantly, these two men were also first-level mutants.
When Han Jiaren saw these two men, she also showed a trace of joy and waved at one of them. “Bencheng-ge.”
“Going in?” Zhang Bencheng smiled at Han Jiaren, then glanced at Luo Chen with contempt.
“Jiaren, is this your boyfriend?”
“Bencheng-ge, you are mistaken. We are just ordinary friends.” Han Jiaren hurriedly clarified the relationship, as if afraid of being misunderstood.
Just moments ago, she had been doing everything to please Luo Chen and constantly drawing closer to him. But now, she was hurriedly distancing herself.
“If you want to go in, Bencheng-ge will take you in.” Zhang Bencheng spoke proudly.
“Ah? Really?”
“But the merit points really…”
“It is fine. Your Bencheng-ge has plenty of merit points!” Zhang Bencheng spoke proudly again, and glanced at Luo Chen provocatively.
“Then thank you very much, Bencheng-ge. By the way, my friend can also…”
“No need. I can go in myself.” Luo Chen interrupted Han Jiaren’s words.
“Oh, this brother has quite a backbone.” Zhang Bencheng smiled, but it was a cold smile.
And Han Jiaren frowned, looking at Luo Chen.
Your merit points are not enough at all. How will you go in?
Originally, Han Jiaren had still intended to help Luo Chen. But Luo Chen’s words just now had blocked off all retreat. Even Han Jiaren could not help.
After paying two merit points for Han Jiaren, Zhang Bencheng sized Luo Chen up and down again.
“Friend, I am quite curious. Without merit points, how do you plan to go in?” The man called Bencheng tightened his sleeves, like a big brother on the streets.
“If I want to go in, I do not need to pay merit points at all.” Luo Chen spoke calmly.
“Whoa, brother has quite the big mouth!” Zhang Bencheng could be considered a small-time ruffian here.
It was his first time hearing someone say, “I do not need merit points to enter the city.”
This was Jinfeng City. Not only was the Butcher of Ten Thousand stationed here, but there was also a divine spirit. Who dared to cause trouble?
Even some fifth-level mutants did not dare to force their way in.
Because once you caused trouble here and broke the rules, what you faced was not merely the divine spirit’s punishment, but also the attacks of tens of thousands of people in the city.
Looking at Luo Chen, he found that Luo Chen was only a first-level mutant. Zhang Bencheng again showed a trace of mockery. He could not help but sigh inwardly. Since when did a first-level mutant dare to speak so boastfully?
“Brother, you should be careful with your words. Beware of trouble coming from your mouth.”
Without waiting for Luo Chen to speak, Zhang Bencheng spoke again. “Let’s go, Jiaren.”
Han Jiaren looked at Luo Chen with difficulty, then looked at Bencheng with difficulty.
She definitely wanted to go in, because ever since she entered the horror game, she had never been inside the city.
Luo Chen looked at these two people, then a barely perceptible glint flashed in his eyes.
Although these two people disguised themselves well, at a glance they were not good people.
So Luo Chen spoke. “Jiaren, perhaps you should not go in with them.”
Luo Chen was only giving a kind reminder.
But falling into Han Jiaren’s ears, it felt as if Luo Chen could not go in, so he was determined not to let her go in either.
This made Han Jiaren frown. She was about to speak when the young man called Bencheng coldly spoke first. “I say, brother, if you are not going in with us, do you have the merit points to let her go in?”
As soon as Zhang Bencheng said this, the other man also burst into laughter.
Even Han Jiaren felt that Luo Chen’s words were somewhat embarrassing.
“You cannot go in, so you do not want others to go in either?” A trace of mockery crossed the corner of Zhang Bencheng’s mouth.
Then he grabbed Han Jiaren and directly pulled her toward the city.
Han Jiaren turned her head to look at Luo Chen, hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth, showed an apologetic expression to Luo Chen, and still followed them in.
She had never been inside before. Naturally, she would not let this opportunity pass.
“Hmph, no merit points and still wants to enter the city?”
“Jiaren, hurry up and go. If he gets beaten to death later, it will implicate you.” Two mocking voices rang out.
No one could enter the city without paying merit points.
Luo Chen did not continue to stop them. After all, he and Han Jiaren were not very close, only acquaintances.
He had already reminded Han Jiaren. But Han Jiaren still chose to enter the city with those two people. Then Luo Chen would not bother anymore.
And the two third-level mutants guarding the door were now looking at Luo Chen with the expression of people watching a good show.
The scene just now had been fully witnessed by them. Luo Chen’s words, “I will go in, I do not need to pay merit points,” still echoed in their ears.
One of them sized Luo Chen up and down, looking down on him from above.
“Heh, I am quite curious. How do you plan to go in today without paying merit points?”
This mutant had been guarding this city gate for five years. Forget a first-level mutant like Luo Chen, even mutants of higher levels had to obediently pay merit points to enter.
Once, a sixth-level mutant came to cause trouble. As a result, the divine spirit slapped him down at the city gate. From then on, no one dared to cause trouble anymore.
This scene naturally also attracted many people to come and watch.
“Hmph, truly arrogant. A first-level mutant, does he still plan to force his way in?”
“Truly a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. A first-level mutant dares to be so rampant before third-level mutants?” One wave of mockery after another rang out. No one was optimistic about Luo Chen, because the gap between mutant levels was too great, simply impossible to overcome.
“Forget that you have no merit points today. Even if you had merit points today, based on what you just said, we would not let you in today!” The other third-level mutant looked at Luo Chen coldly. A cold glint suddenly appeared in his eyes.
When had anyone dared to speak such words to their faces while they, the two brothers, guarded this place?
Moreover, it was a first-level mutant. This was completely disrespect and contempt for them!
And one of them had already stepped forward, intending to make a move on Luo Chen.
“Then today I will let you see how to go in without paying merit points!”
