Chapter 336: Boss Huang’s Weapon Refinery

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Of course, one should never assume that those ranked last were weak. They were young geniuses from all over the world and were at the peak of the hierarchy.

The circle of the geniuses had their own playstyle. As the ranking cascaded, rewards decreased and punishment increased. It might not look severe, but it presented a heavy sense of defeat and was an insult for those who came in last.

Clamors and discussions burst out among the crowd, but the young geniuses were very calm. This was the playstyle they had chosen, so they did not have to care about anyone else’s view.

“As for Tang Ling and I...” It was then that Tang Long started to read his and Tang Ling’s rules of the Life Or Death Ring.

The two of them were joining the young geniuses in the Hell Ledge ranking competition, but between them, there would be an extra duel on Hell Ledge.

The time of the duel would be on the last day of the game, or whenever either side suggested to start the duel in advance and the opposite side agreed to the suggestion.

The duel would be held on Hell Ledge. A ring would be set up by the seaside of Hell Ledge on the sea.

Lastly, since Tang Ling and Tang Long would have to determine life and death in their duel, before their own duel started, they could only gain points but would not be ranked during the game. Only after their duel would their points be calculated and ranked.

In other words, the final ranking of the geniuses would only be completed after Tang Ling and Tang Long’s deathmatch.

“The game will officially begin during voyage day which is seven days from now. When the ships and fleets of Darkness Port leave for a new voyage, Hell Ledge will be officially opened for the stage of the Life Or Death Ring,” Tang Long read.

“The game will end on April 30th next year. There will be half a month left to prepare for the upcoming opportunity in the middle of May,” Tang Ling added.

“Now, are there any objections? If there are none, the Life Or Death Ring will officially start seven days from now.” Tang Long glanced around.

As a matter of fact, among the announced rules, they had opted out of the last two requests from the young geniuses.

However, Tang Ling and Tang Long did not make concessions. They did not explain or compromise. They did not even want to flatter the other young geniuses, so they straightaway jumped to the last part and asked for any objections.

By the looks of it, even if there were disagreements, the two of them would not care. They would still strongly make their stand in this.

Therefore, after a quick calculation, the young geniuses basically got what they wanted. It was not necessary for them to withdraw from the game just because of two less important requests.

Hence, all the rules of the Life Or Death Ring had been stated. The only thing left was waiting for the game to begin in seven days’ time.

...

In a misty environment, Boss Huang and Tang Ling were glaring at each other. Their faces were less than 10 cm away from each other.

“Not even one 1 Black Wind coin?” Boss Huang said, grinding his teeth.

“No!” Tang Ling was unusually stubborn about this.

“I’ll top up the news about Hell Ledge. 10 Black Sea coins in total!” Boss Huang looked like he was hurt.

“With the news about Hell Ledge, you still need to give me 25 Black Sea coins. I calculated that you used me to make a profit of at least a hundred Black Sea coins.” Tang Ling scooped the water in the bathtub and washed his face.

“You...you win!” Boss Huang spluttered, frustrated. He felt like it was getting more difficult to exploit Tang Ling.

“I didn’t win a lot. Do you think I don’t know that you’ve placed a heavy bet on me in the Hell Ledge challenge? You’re just waiting for the money to flow your way. My dear boss, you are the most significant whale of the betting table, am I right?” Tang Ling squinted his eyes at Boss Huang.

A chill ran down Boss Huang’s spine all of a sudden. Damn it! I bet my life savings on this little bastard!

Tang Ling was obviously hinting at Boss Huang that if he was not happy about the deal, he could simply mess up the game.

As a practical person, he knew that only his duel with Tang Long was important throughout the game. The rankings or whatnot were not important to him at all.

Hmm, I guess the kid will be happy if he can get a ship and sail with Han Xing and the siblings. Then, my life savings...Dammit! I miscalculated!!

However, how could the infamous Boss Huang not seize the chance to bet and earn big bucks on this?

Hmm, I need to think about this carefully.

Boss Huang stood up, rolling his eyes at Tang Ling who was in the bath. He started to circle around the room in deep thought.

After the reading of the rules, the lively Darkness Port had somehow quietened down. Even the prosperous main avenue in front of Dvesha Moha barely had any people.

Therefore, no one noticed a strange mantled figure arriving on the street in front of Dvesha Moha.

The figure was unusual. His height was around 230 cm. Even though the average height of the people in the Purple Moon era was a lot taller than the average height of those from the old civilization, 230 cm was still considered extremely tall.

If it was just about the height, the figure would not be considered that strange. The peculiar thing was the body under the mantle. It was ridiculously buff. The width of his body was almost 140 cm, and when coupled with his height, he looked like a rectangle.

When the mantled figure walked onto the street, he gazed upon Dvesha Moha from afar. Grunts that sounded like machinery came from his throat.

“Follow me.” Boss Huang tapped the table after a decision was made. In his heart, he kept telling himself, ‘I didn’t deviate from my stand. I’m just doing this for my life savings! I can’t let my life savings die to protect that goddamned stand!’

He felt a lot better after he yelled at himself in his heart. He already recovered his composure when Tang Ling stood up from the bathtub in confusion.

Boss Huang brought Tang Ling to the smithing room. “Give it to me,” he said.

“What?” Tang Ling was confused, but his heart was very excited. He knew that he had seized the old fox by the neck for once. Whether the old fox had to beg on the street for food or could be even wealthier than he already was, it was all controlled by Tang Ling’s single thought. What an amazing feeling!

“Stop acting dumb. Give me that strange dagger of yours.” Boss Huang was not in a good mood. He felt like he was a virgin who was being taken advantage of, so how could he be in a pleasant mood?

“Oh, okay, hold on. I’ll bring everything out.” Tang Ling was so thrilled that he almost jumped up into the air.

Of course, he remembered that when he was tidying up his things on his first day in Darkness Port after Boss Huang had abducted him to Dvesha Moha, the latter had paid no attention to his belongings except for that strange dagger.

Now, the old fox was compromising because of his money, and the first thing he mentioned was the dagger. Something extremely fortunate must be happening!

However, since Tang Ling had to go through the mill to finally be able to take advantage of Boss Huang, how could he be happy with just a dagger? It was almost certain that he would bring all his weird collections out like the egg that he had just gotten back from Ro Xin. If he missed this opportunity, there might not be a next one.

“Don’t push it, kid!” Boss Huang growled, but he did not stop Tang Ling. Since he had decided to compromise, he went all out with it and was quite the man as well. After all, he ought to do it well or not at all.

Smirking, Tang Ling ran back to his room and brought a bunch of stuff over. All these things were considered the most valuable of his collection: a dagger attached to a strange rock, half of the remaining strange rock, a silver shining egg, and a piece of the Horror Lullaby List.

“You even brought this out for me?” Boss Huang picked up the piece of the Horror Lullaby List, which was the List of Seeds. His eyes gleamed when he looked at Tang Ling.

Tang Ling scratched his head and said, “I don’t know what it does anyway, so I thought I might bring it out for you to have a look,”

“It is...” Boss Huang thought for a while before he put the paper aside. Had they been in a different situation and Tang Ling wanted to ask him about the List of Seeds, Boss Huang would never have uttered a word without at least 500 Black Sea coins.

However, the situation was different right now. “This is very important to you. Remember, if you can, try to collect all the pieces and make a complete collection. It has a page of the highest tier, the Purple Crystal page, 10 pages of Diamond pages, 15 Pages of Platinum pages, 30 Pages of Golden pages, 50 Pages of Silver pages, and 100 Pages of Copper pages.”

“That’s a lot! Where am I supposed to find all those?” Tang Ling furrowed his brows.

“It’s not that difficult actually if you have money, that is. I have 17 Copper Pages, 6 Silver pages, and 3 Golden pages with me. 10,000 Black Sea coins and I’ll sell them all to you! It’s too popular to be in my hands anyway. It’s something that you old man left for you,” said Boss Huang with a faint smile.

Whenever Tang Feng was mentioned, Tang Ling resisted the name from his bones. His interest died and he replied, “Then, let it be. I don’t want them.”

“Are you sure? Don’t you want to know what it does? You have to know that it’s now or never. If you want to know about the List of Seeds in the future, it won’t be this easy anymore,” said Boss Huang with a ridiculing tone, attempting to bait Tang Ling.

“It’s a future matter for future discussion,” Tang Ling rejected impatiently.

“Whatever.” Boss Huang’s eyes looked profound with meaning. He could predict a thing or two, and he could tell that the List of Seeds would be the most important thing to Tang Ling in the future.

However, he was just 15 years old and it was not Boss Huang’s fault for not being firm about it. Even Tang Ling did not know what his own stand was.

With that in mind, Boss Huang picked up the strange dagger and started the hearth in the smithing room. The temperature in the smithing room skyrocketed to an unbearable level to that point that even Tang Ling had a hard time breathing in the fiery air as the heat made him sweat like a waterfall.

However, Boss Huang seemed to think it was not hot enough. He bit his finger and twisted his wrist before a golden ember appeared in his hand. He flung the golden ember into the hearth and the temperature skyrocketed once more.

As though Boss Huang became a completely different person, he said calmly, “If you can bear the heat, stay. If not, get out. You are lucky enough to have me refine the weapon for you.”
