Cosmic Professional Gladiator Novel - Chapter 376
Chapter 376: World Targeting (2)
Translator: CKtalon
“Haha…” The elder glanced at Xu Jingming before turning to leave, disappearing into the night.
Xu Jingming remained in his spot and tended to his injuries as he thought about the targeting he had experienced in Blood Rain World.
Blood Rain World has management. Xu Jingming understood this order. There are all kinds of restrictions on the players’ ability to obtain gold. The more they obtain, the more they are targeted. When they accumulate 50,000 gold, they will be punished. 100,000 gold will make it difficult for them to do anything.
This senior showed mercy today. Xu Jingming understood this. This senior only seriously injured him and didn’t kill him! He also didn’t take the bundle away; he had let him off lightly.
“Which family are you from?” Xu Jingming recalled the other party’s words and quickly made a guess. Could it be that my usage of a forbidden technique made him believe that I had an extraordinary background, so he showed mercy?
!!
That was true. Although there were countless civilizations in the entire Cosmic Human Alliance, those who could cultivate an Advanced legacy, a planetary lifeform forbidden technique, definitely had a background!
He was either a scion of a large family clan like Tejano or an external member of a top faction like Xu Jingming. As for those who ‘illegally’ obtained the fundamentals of a Paramount legacy, they wouldn’t dare to use it in the virtual world.
Those who dared to use it did so legally!
The other party is a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform, so he should be a member of the 17 top factions. Xu Jingming vaguely understood. This is just how the way the world works!
…
King Qi was killed!
How big a deal was it for a king to be killed? The emperor found out that night and angrily ordered that the murderer be investigated!
If it were a stable period, he would probably have turned the entire capital upside down. But now, the entire world was staging a rebellion. Even the Blood Rain Guards in the capital were tempted, and many were preparing for a way out.
Why would anyone work hard to investigate the death of a king?
“With two shields, he crushed the military formation of more than a thousand qualified experts head-on? He brazenly killed King Qi?” After understanding the situation a little, the Blood Rain Guards cowered as their hearts trembled in fear.
“More than a thousand qualified experts couldn’t stop him, and King Qi was killed. How can we investigate such a person?”
The Blood Rain Guards only went through the motions.
Moreover, almost all the guards from King Qi’s residence had fled. Only a few extremely loyal ones continued to be in service of King Qi’s family.

The next day, Xu Jingming pushed open the door. It had snowed all night, and the snow in front of the door was enough to reach his calves.
What wonderful weather. Xu Jingming was in a good mood.
The light of the morning sun shone on the pure white snow, and the world became much brighter.
Xu Jingming admired the scenery at the door for a moment before seeing an amiable elder arrive with three people beside him.
“Brother Jing.” The elder walked over and exclaimed in surprise, “Impressive, impressive. That was no mean feat.”
“Come on in.” Xu Jingming invited them into the house and closed the courtyard door.
“According to your requirements, the gold is divided into four portions. These three portions are 10,000 gold, and this last portion is 5,000 gold.” Xu Jingming pointed at the gold on the ground in the room.
The elder smiled and nodded. “Alright.”
As he spoke, he put away the 5,000 gold.
The three people beside him began the sacrifice, each sacrificing 10,000 gold.
Blood Rain World also limited the number of people who could enter the mysterious land by controlling the gold acquirement means. For example, fewer than 200,000 people could enter the mysterious land every 330 days in the Hunter Cosmic Sector.
Xu Jingming watched the sacrifice of the three and sighed with emotion. He had successfully joined a top faction of the Cosmic Human Alliance through the mysterious land, but the 17 top factions had extremely high requirements. Very few explorers were recruited every year.
Whoosh!
The three of them and 30,000 gold disappeared into thin air.
“Have you received the money?” the elder asked.
“It’s in.” Xu Jingming nodded. He had already received the notification.
“Alright, remember me if there’s any business. The exchange rate I give you is considered the best in the industry,” the elder said with a smile.
“There will be another sum of 20,000 gold in the near future,” Xu Jingming remarked. “I’ll contact you when the time comes.”
Old Master Fei had agreed to give him 20,000 gold.
“Impressive.” The elder exclaimed in surprise. “I’ll take my leave.”
He left quietly with the 5,000 gold he had put away.
…
On the third day after Fei Xinlan was rescued, Old Master Fei secretly raised 20,000 gold to give to Xu Jingming! After all, he knew that Xu Jingming and his sect had defeated more than a thousand guards in King Qi’s residence and had even killed King Qi!
He felt that 20,000 gold was too little to hire someone to do such a huge feat.
It couldn’t be helped; he didn’t have much gold and silver. The Fei family had only risen to prominence recently.
“I heard that the expert with dual shields defeated the military formation of more than a thousand qualified experts and brazenly killed King Qi,” Guard Qiu said. “The sect behind Brother Jing is really strong.”
“From what I heard, there were experts who use spears, dual shields, and sledgehammers,” the silver-haired elder, Guard Lu, said.
There were all kinds of random information regarding King Qi’s death. The more people spread the news, the more ridiculous it became!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
A guard opened the door and immediately greeted Xu Jingming when he saw him outside. “Ah, Mr. Jing.”
Xu Jingming walked in.
“Brother Jing.” Guard Lu and Guard Qiu greeted him warmly. Old Master Fei and Fei Xinlan quickly walked out of the house.
“Mr. Jing.” Old Master Fei was very polite.
“Brother Jing.” Fei Xinlan’s body had mostly recovered after taking an antidote.
Everyone walked into the house and sat down.
Xu Jingming took out a map and placed it on the table in front of him. He said, “Old Master Fei, you should know that the situation in the capital is getting worse. The rebels might attack the capital at any time.”
Everyone present nodded.
Everyone understood this. The western region was uncontrollable, and the eastern region had already begun rebelling. It was only a matter of time before the capital fell.
“Therefore, I’ve always planned on finding a way to send Xinlan out of the capital,” Old Master Fei said.
“Some friends and I also plan on leaving the capital.” Xu Jingming pointed at the map. “We’re preparing to head here—Lanjiang City. It’s remote and has many lakes and rivers. It won’t be easy for the army to carry out a punitive expedition.”
This was the place that those from China had confirmed after discussion.
The strength of China’s experts was limited even with a peerless expert like Xu Jingming. He would rarely come online in the future and could only be used as a deterrence. Therefore, it was better to go to an ordinary city.
“Lanjiang City?” Old Master Fei’s eyes lit up when he saw it.
“It will take about a month to reach Lanjiang City from the capital,” Xu Jingming said. “If you want to leave, we can go together! We can also take care of each other on the way.”
Old Master Fei’s eyes lit up as he looked at the map.
“Close the door,” Old Master Fei instructed. “Everyone, leave first.”
After dismissing the others, Guard Qiu closed the door, leaving only Old Master Fei, Fei Xinlan, Guard Lu, Xu Jingming, and himself in the room.
“Mr. Jing.” Old Master Fei looked at Xu Jingming and said seriously, “You saved Xinlan, so there’s no need to hide it from you. My son, Fei Qing… is still alive!”
