Chaos Lord: Infinite Guidance

Chapter 8 Adventurer Bandhu

Wang Jue wanted to give Xinghai Yunzhou some pointers!

He couldn't afford a second Starry Cloud Boat, but he wanted to take Mad Dog King, his bodyguard, with him on the sea voyage. So he tried to strengthen the Starry Cloud Boat through [Infinite Guidance]. He didn't have high expectations; he would be content if the small boat could carry two people!

However, just as [Unlimited Guidance] was activated, Wang Jue received a system notification: "Ding, the current target has low intelligence, and the probability of successful guidance is less than 1%. Do you wish to continue?"

"Hmm? Low intelligence? Less than 1% success rate in guidance? Intelligence level affects the success rate of guidance? That makes sense!"

Wang Jue quickly responded to the system, abandoning the guidance he was about to receive, thus saving 100 points of soul power.

With a success rate of less than 1%, continuing would be nothing short of a waste of soul power.

Wang Jue didn't think he was lucky enough to receive such successful guidance.

"Since there's only one boat, I'll have to go out to sea myself. Mad Dog King can stay here and guard the house."

Wang Jue made his decision and was about to sail away when he suddenly received a system notification: "Ding, please note that an adventurer has entered your territory!"

"Hmm? An adventurer? A player who failed to become a Chaos Lord?"

Wang Jue was taken aback, then quickly went ashore. After a brief search, he soon spotted a young player dressed in the exact same beginner outfit as himself.

This guy was tall and burly, with a square face and bright green hair.

"Alien players? Apart from their flamboyant hair color, they don't look much different from Earthlings..."

Wang Juexin was curious, so he led Mad Dog King to meet the player. The player shouted from afar, "Listen up, you over there! My name is Bandhu, a warrior from the neighboring newbie village. I'm just passing through your territory and would like to borrow five hundred coins. If you know what's good for you, hand them over quickly, or I, Tiger, will call my brothers and wipe out this little village. Understand?"

"Bandhu?" Wang Jue frowned and said, "Brother, are you out of your mind? Coming here to rob me?"

Mad Dog King stepped forward, clashed his twin swords together, creating flames, and shouted, "Grandpa's asking you, money or your life!"

The adventurer player who called himself Bandhu took a few steps back, glared, and said, "That's right! What this soldier said is exactly what I wanted to say. Lord over there, do you want money or your life? Let me tell you the truth, I have brothers following me. If you don't want to die, then obediently pay up, otherwise I'll bring my brothers over and chop you up. Then you can only be an adventurer, your life token will be controlled by others, and you will never be free again."

"Really?" Wang Jue smiled. "I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. Five hundred yuan? Don't say you don't have it, even if you did, you wouldn't give it to me!"

After speaking, Wang Jue pointed forward, and suddenly a figure descended from the sky, transforming into a mysterious scarecrow in front of Bandhu.

"What is it?"

Bandhu was startled, but when he saw that it was just a scarecrow, he breathed a sigh of relief. He straightened his back and said, "A scarecrow, daring to scare me? Do you think I'm afraid...?"

Before he could finish speaking, two dark, whip-like tentacles suddenly emerged from the scarecrow's cloak and quickly bound Bandhu.

"Hey, what's that?"

Bandhu was shocked. He was bound, his feet were slowly lifted off the ground, and his face was pulled close to the eerie scarecrow's smiling mask.

Suddenly, the smiling mask split open in the middle, and the next moment, Bandhu was pulled into the body of the eerie scarecrow, as if he had been swallowed. The scarecrow's trench coat swayed a few times before returning to calm, and the eerie scarecrow's smiling mask transformed into Bandhu's face.

With a clang, a hoe, two coins, and a cloud-shaped capsule fell out.

Bandhu was stunned for a moment, then his face filled with terror as he shouted, "What the hell? I'm not dead yet, how did my things fall?"

Wang Jue knew that the mysterious scarecrow had used the [Capture Substitute] skill to capture Bandhu and make him his substitute.

Wang Jue quickly picked up the items that Bandhu had dropped: two yuan, a hoe, and a Yunzhou capsule.

The hoe was ordinary, with a wooden handle, a standard farm tool.

The Cloud Boat Capsule is a good thing; it doesn't have a binding mechanism, so you can use it as soon as you get it.

"Could it be that I was caught by the mysterious scarecrow and instantly declared dead, losing all my belongings?"

Wang Jue seemed to understand something. He was happy. Now he had two Star Sea Cloud Boats.

When Bandhu saw Wang Jue pick up his belongings, he glared angrily and roared, "Put my things down! Do you know this is robbery? You've broken the law! And let me go right now! I came from newbie village number 985. Our village is very close to here, and I have five, six, seven, or eight brothers with me!"

"So many brothers? I'm so scared!"

Wang Jue smiled, his heart remaining calm.

"This alien player has clearly lost their mind. Even if they weren't exaggerating, so what if they really have five, six, seven, or eight brothers? Can a mere five, six, seven, or eight adventurer players defeat a top-tier martial arts master like Mad Dog King? But that Noob Village No. 985... Could it be that adventurer players spawn in a Noob Village? Is this Noob Village very close to here? If it's true, I'll have to be careful..."

Wang Jue pondered silently.

At this moment, Mad Dog King walked up to Bandhu, pointed the tip of his golden-ringed broadsword at his nose, and shouted, "Grandpa is asking you, money or your life!"

The mysterious scarecrow bounced backward, seemingly controlled by Bandhu, who said in a fierce but weak voice, "I want...I want money! What about it?"

Mad Dog King took two more steps forward, still pointing his golden-ringed broadsword at Bandhu's nose, and shouted, "Grandpa's asking you, do you want money or your life?!"

The mysterious scarecrow bounced back again, and Bandhu, looking annoyed, muttered, "Damn it, trying to scare me? Who's robbing whom?"

Mad Dog King only had one line, which he continued: "Grandpa is asking you..."

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Grandpa asked you..."

Listening to the conversation between Mad Dog King and Bandhu, Wang Jue couldn't help but laugh.

Mad Dog King only has one line, but he can repeat it all day long.

After being questioned several times by Mad Dog King, Bandhu couldn't take it anymore. He begged Wang Jue for mercy: "Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have come to rob you. It's better to resolve conflicts than to make them fester. You're a magnanimous person, please let me go! I promise I won't come again!"

"I'm sorry, I can't do that!"

Looking at Bandehu's face, Wang Jue continued, "Brother, could you tell me which direction is beginner village number 985?"

"It's just due east, no more than five miles from here! There are so many people in our village, I have so many brothers, they'll probably find us soon!"

"In that case... I'll leave you here to guard my place, brother. I'm going out to sea for a bit and will be right back!"

After saying that, Wang Jue ignored Bandehu's shouts and walked straight to the seaside, threw down two Cloud Boat Capsules, and called Mad Dog King to board the boat.

The scarecrow then hopped over quickly, and Bandhu shouted anxiously, "What do you mean? You want me to guard the house? Hey, don't go! Let me go, you bastard!"

Wang Jue glanced at the mysterious scarecrow and thought to himself that it was probably Bandhu controlling it that made it jump around like this.

Time was precious, and Wang Jue didn't want to get entangled with Bandehu for too long. With a flick of his arm, he moved the mysterious scarecrow more than a hundred meters away.
