"Village chief!"
"Village chief!"
At that mont, seven or eight disciples with the title "Black Wind Village" above their heads gathered around, their expressions tense, excited, and thrilled.
There was a kind of nervousness in them, like masked mountain bandits who had posed for many years and were finally eting their boss. They were thrilled but also worried about being disliked and dismissed by the boss.
The sha and guilt of not being purely from the Black Wind Village.
It was like eting one’s father-in-law after juggling two boats, wanting to greet him but feeling a lack of confidence.
"Hello!"
Jiang Dali looked at the group of nervous and excited Eight Desolates Disciples, his face showing a kind and impartial smile, as if he were a father to all, "I never expected to encounter my own brothers in a foreign land; truly, there is no place in the world where we couldn’t et. Today, let’s sit down and drink together!"
"Ah, this!..."
"Great, great. I’ve wanted to have a drink with the boss for a long ti."
"One drink isn’t enough, we need a jar! No, no, a dozen jars."
The faces of the Eight Desolates Disciples flushed with excitent, like they were on fire, their faces beaming with joy as they danced and babbled in their excitent.
This was their first ti being in such close contact with the Black Wind Village Chief.
Previously, they had only seen him on the Martial World Forum.
They had thought that their own village chief would be very stern and fierce, but unexpectedly, he was so amiable towards them, without any pretense, giving them an imnse sense of closeness, which caught them off guard with delight.
Imdiately, they escorted the Black Wind Village Chief amidst the respectful, envious gazes of the native NPCs and all players, to the most luxurious inn in the city.
Walking with the Black Wind Village Chief, the group of disciples felt as if they were floating on air.
They attracted attention from all around.
Even the brash players from the Tianyun Guild in Le City now had to look at them with envy and give way.
Quickly.
The news that the Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali had appeared in Leshan City, Shu, spread widely on the Martial World Forum.
Posts sprouted like bamboo shoots after rain on the Martial World Forum.
Previously, the main attraction for players in Le City was the Thief Leader Chu Liuxiang.
But now, the focus had shifted to the Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali.
The news and videos of the Black Wind Village Chief fending off the Demon Sect Leader Ren Tianxing, single-handedly holding his ground against Golden Butterfly Jade Cicada, also spread quickly.
They were massively shared on the Martial World Forum.
Many players who had already co to Leshan City to join in the excitent now changed their targets of flattery.
They flocked to the inn where the Black Wind Village Chief was staying, hoping to get close to trigger tasks.
If it had been an ordinary mountain bandit leader, players wouldn’t dare to approach so rashly.
But the Black Wind Village Chief was different.
In the eyes of the native NPCs, although the Black Wind Village Chief was a ruthless killer, causing devastation wherever he went,
In the eyes of players, he was a top-notch grand hero, the easiest target for "fleecing," often triggering tasks from him.
Therefore, players also gave the Black Wind Village Chief a very apt nickna: "Yangmao Village Chief," implying he was a simple man with many quests.
Even non-Black Wind players often benefited from him.
This also ant that Jiang Dali’s arrival was even more welcod by Leshan players than Chu Liuxiang.
Especially after the Tianyun Guild tried once again to block the inn, aiming to monopolize him illegally, only to be blasted away by him, Jiang Dali’s popularity soared.
The Martial World Forum was abuzz with praise.
A large number of Leshan players, long oppressed by the Tianyun Guild, had never seen an NPC stand up for solo players like this.
Many comnts said, "The Black Wind Village Chief, where is he a mountain bandit villain? He is clearly a righteous hero who punishes evil."
"The sons of the Tianyun Guild have really shot themselves in the foot this ti."
"For the most touching Martial World character of the year in Mixed Martial Arts World, the Black Wind Village Chief is a shoo-in."
Inside the sky-number-one room of the inn.
Jiang Dali discussed Martial Arts matters with Wang Yuyan and, seeing the adoration he received from Players on the Jianghu Forum, his eyes also revealed a hint of a smile.
He didn’t care about other NPCs.
But he, Jiang Dali, the Black Wind Village Chief, belonged to all Players and was universally loved.
The Tianyun Guild’s attempt to monopolize and sponsor him demanded a forceful response; he wouldn’t allow their influence to grow wildly.
However, it was rather ironic that these Players actually called him the "Yangmao Village Chief."
"How naive! Truly naive! Young people know not the perils of the Martial World. Do they really think I, Jiang Dali, am a sheep?"
Jiang Dali chuckled softly and glanced at Wang Yuyan, who had fallen asleep on the chair from exhaustion, before he stood up and left the room.
Swish, swish, swish—
Downstairs in the inn’s lobby.
A barrage of eager glances shot towards the second floor as the room door opened.
Jiang Dali stood in the corridor.
With deliberate slowness, he pulled a copper bell from his waist and gently shook it.
Ding-a-ling—
Suddenly, a Player who was waiting at the stairwell heard the bell and, ecstatic, scampered over and bowed respectfully.
"Village Chief! Rimu has seen the Village Chief."
"Hmm."
Jiang Dali pointed at his foot, "See it?"
The Player looked in astonishnt at Jiang Dali’s bare foot, confused.
Several friends behind him beca excited and prompted him urgently.
"Blow it!"
"Just blow it!"
"If you won’t, I will—Martial World’s top bootlicker arrives at the battlefield!"
Realizing what was expected, Player Rimu hurriedly began to flatter, "Village Chief, I see it! I hadn’t imagined that not only are you imposing and impressive, but even your foot is so remarkably powerful.
It’s clear at a glance that this isn’t an ordinary person’s foot, this foot..."
Whack!!
Rimu was stunned as a large damage number popped above his head and his blood bar decreased by a third, his words cut off by Jiang Dali’s slap.
"What I ant is, my shoes are broken. Size up my foot and get a new pair of quality War Boots imdiately. Rewards await upon task completion," Jiang Dali said sternly at Rimu.
"Ah!?"
Rimu stood there stunned, then hurriedly bowed and clenched his fists in apology. Seeing the task reward notification, his eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he turned on his heel to briskly complete the task.
A group of Players queuing at the stairwell, filled with envy and anticipation, stared intently at every item on Jiang Dali’s person, hoping to find sothing else to run errands for.
This ti, however, Jiang Dali didn’t ring the bell but instead glanced at the rain still drizzling outside the window and nodded slightly.
He then faced all the expectant Players and pondered aloud.
"The heavy rain has persisted for so many days; the waters of the Three Rivers must have risen considerably. By my reckoning, Leshan might face a great flood and calamity. Would you, Brothers of the Martial World, care to help protect the city from disaster and prevent a resurgence of turmoil and bloodshed in the Martial World?"
The crowd of Players listening to Black Wind Village Chief’s righteous words were all taken aback.
What’s this?
Not only could the Black Wind Village Chief predict, but he also wanted to help protect the city and prevent turmoil and bloodshed in the Martial World?
Is this serious?
Is this really sothing a mountain bandit leader should seriously do?
At that mont, so Players had already begun to discover the triggered task in their interface and started to Concentrate on checking it...
