Chapter 185 The Bloody Feast of the Weak
Chapter 185 The Bloody Feast of the Weak
As the exoskeleton ruthlessly tore open a gap, Lin Yao looked up.
A group of people surrounded the guy in the exoskeleton armor, who swaggered in through the broken opening, instantly blocking his way.
They stared at Lin Yao without restraint, then surveyed their surroundings, their gazes seemingly scrutinizing their own territory.
The private space Lin Yao was in was extremely simple, as he didn't care much about comforts in his daily life.
Important items were either stored inside his body or in his storage space, which contained nothing that others would covet.
Upon seeing such a shabby scene, the uninvited guests' previously arrogant eyes suddenly held an undisguised contempt.
One of them immediately started shouting arrogantly at Lin Yao:
"I thought I could make a killing, but look at your ragged appearance. If I didn't know you had just been promoted to a formal reincarnator, I doubt we would have even made back the energy cost of using the exoskeleton mecha."
Enough with the nonsense. Same old rules. Hand over your valuables so we don't have to do anything. Otherwise, don't blame me for selling you off to be a prostitute to compensate for my losses.
Although you may seem ordinary, little by little, you can accumulate wealth over time.
The speaker was a man with a scar on his face and tattoos on his body. His tone was nonchalant, yet full of contempt.
Lin Yao felt a little strange.
Is this some kind of legendary breeding team similar to the God's Space? A bully who specializes in oppressing newcomers?
He was somewhat surprised. He hadn't encountered these people when he was an apprentice reincarnator, but they came knocking on his door as soon as he became a formal reincarnator.
"Aren't you afraid of violating the rules of the Reincarnation Space that protect newcomers and being punished for doing this?"
Lin Yao remained calm, completely unconcerned about the words of these few henchmen who were no match for him. He was simply puzzled by their behavior and asked them in a low voice.
"As long as I break even!"
Standing behind the scarred man, the skinny guy, who looked like a bamboo pole, sneered and took over the conversation.
"Even if you were poor before, you'll still get some guaranteed reward after completing the mission to advance to the next level. Most trainee reincarnators are broke, so who wants to cause them trouble?"
"If we ask you to hand it over now, we'll only lose some reincarnation points and get marked by the reincarnation space. We'll still profit. If you know what's good for you, hand over all the good stuff you've been hiding."
Lin Yao suddenly realized.
So that's how it is. Trainee reincarnators don't offer much reward and aren't worth coveting. Not everyone can be like Lin Yao, gaining huge rewards in every world.
A true reincarnator is someone who has experienced four worlds, and receives additional buffs when completing their advancement mission, making robbing them a sure-fire way to make money.
These guys are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. They must have taken advantage of the fact that I haven't joined any other faction and have settled in this public area to dare to rob me.
Aren't you afraid of the car crashing?
Lin Yao asked slowly and deliberately.
"Would someone with connections come to our slum? This place is full of guys like you with no connections who just finished your promotion mission. What are we afraid of failing?"
The other party became impatient.
"You've asked enough questions. Quickly hand over what you've gained from this advancement mission world, or you'll be in for a world of trouble."
"Also, after handing over what you've gained this time, all future mission rewards will be split 20/80."
Another person added immediately.
"I'll take eight, you take two?" Lin Yao asked instinctively.
"You're dreaming! We're the butcher, and you're the fish. Giving you 20% is already being merciful."
As they spoke, one of them pulled out a stack of photos. The scenes depicted were bloody and gruesome, clearly showing people who had been tortured for resisting them.
"I hope you won't end up like those ungrateful bastards."
Lin Yao looked at those who were imprisoned in the water dungeon, whipped, and had their fingers and arms cut off, his gaze becoming increasingly calm.
"Aren't you afraid that some reincarnators will get great opportunities and come back to settle scores with you because you're so unscrupulous?"
Upon hearing this, the people present were first stunned, then burst into laughter, their faces full of disdain.
"These guys we've been treating like pigs want to fight back? They're delusional. If they really have that kind of ability, we'll admit defeat..."
On the other side, after the group of exoskeleton mechs broke into Lin Yao's space, the nearby reincarnators watched the spectacle from a distance.
"It's them again. This newbie who just became a formal reincarnator is in trouble."
"This newcomer will either be raised and harvested like a pig, or die in the mission space because his harvest was stolen."
"Sigh, this is the commoner area of the Reincarnation Space. There are no geniuses here. Those geniuses have long been taken by the powerful forces. No one can resist these guys who have the first-mover advantage."
"These people are too toxic; they've blocked the path for anyone who comes after them."
Although everyone was dissatisfied with the behavior of these bullies, in this cycle of reincarnation, everyone adopted an attitude of "it's none of my business."
No one will easily step forward unless their own interests are harmed, otherwise they may bring disaster upon themselves.
Some people who had already been raised like pigs felt a twisted sense of pleasure upon seeing this scene, feeling that there was another person just as miserable as themselves.
Just then, a golden flame swept out of the room like a surging tide. Even from a distance, onlookers could feel the terrifying heat.
"What kind of flame is this?"
"I don't remember anyone in that group having fire abilities!"
"It's most likely that newcomer. The flames engulfed everyone. If it were those bullies, there would be no need for them to do this."
"This temperature is terrifying. How can a newcomer possess such powerful fire abilities?"
"From which world did this ability come? Is it ninjutsu from a ninja village brawl, or the power of a Devil Fruit from a pirate-naval battle?"
"I never expected a genius to emerge from a place like ours."
"This is going to be good. It would be best if we could take care of those guys. Even if we take out a batch, new ones will just pop up, but at least it'll be quiet for a while..."
The golden flames gradually dissipated, and as expected, the group of reincarnators who had intruded vanished without a trace.
The gaps that had been torn open in the space were slowly healing, gradually covering up all traces.
The onlookers gazed at Lin Yao's private space with eyes full of apprehension. It was best not to offend someone with such talent, capable of slaying veteran reincarnators, so easily.
"Those guys, just like that, a newbie took care of them, easily getting rid of those guys who had been weighing on my mind for so long, this..."
Some of the creatures that had been treated like pigs now looked dazed.
Meanwhile, some gazes became extremely complex, some with satisfaction, some with confusion, and finally they left the place with faltering steps, their thoughts unknown.
