Dragon's Origin

Chapter 79: Enough for an Upgrade? (Part 2)

The registration lady and the busybody clerk who had spoken up were both stunned. They hadn't expected Wang Sheng to have a few more trump cards. This only made them wonder what kind of important figure was supporting Wang Sheng, and they dared not be negligent.

They eagerly waited for Wang Sheng to take out a few more assassin tokens, but Wang Sheng seemed to be doing it on purpose. He could have taken them all out of his storage ring at once, but he insisted on taking them out one by one.

One, two, three… People watched and counted. They saw that Wang Sheng had already taken out nine, but why was he still taking them out? Didn't he say he only had a few?

With each assassin token Wang Sheng took out, the big man behind him couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart. Each assassin token meant that an assassin's life had been lost at Wang Sheng's hands. In such a short time, he had actually taken out nine of them?

Everyone thought that when Wang Sheng said 'a few,' he definitely meant no more than ten, because people usually wouldn't say it that way if it was more than ten. But when Wang Sheng took out the tenth assassin token and placed it on the table, a group of people couldn't help but curse Wang Sheng in their hearts. Did he even know how to count? Is that 'a few'?

In fact, at this point, the object of people's ridicule had already changed to that loud-mouthed big man. Wang Sheng, who had ten assassin lives on his hands, whether he was an insignificant ordinary person or a master of several realms, was not someone others could ridicule.

In Worry-Free City, the most deadly thing was actually being blind and not knowing what's good for you. Almost everyone in this city had escaped from the outside after going through life-and-death situations. Everyone's hands were stained with blood, and everyone's back carried the burden of several lives.

Even notorious masters in Worry-Free City usually disguised themselves as kind old men who didn't compete with the world, so they could live longer. Only one kind of person wouldn't care about these things and would often behave arrogantly and recklessly.

This kind of person was the kind of fierce criminal who hadn't escaped into Worry-Free City because they had committed a crime and were being hunted down, but rather came to Worry-Free City to register as an assassin to show off or gain experience. They didn't have the life-or-death crisis of being hunted down like the real Worry-Free City people, and they were probably used to looking down on people on the outside, so they would occasionally relapse in Worry-Free City.

Clearly, this big man belonged to this type. Without the life-and-death pressure of being hunted down, he wouldn't learn that lesson. As soon as he saw that Wang Sheng was holding the yuan mirror frame without any change in color, indicating an insignificant ordinary yuan soul, he subconsciously thought he was on the outside and mocked him.

Now he was a little regretful. A fierce person who had killed ten Worry-Free City assassins, even if he was just an insignificant ordinary person, was not someone he could easily provoke. Fortunately, this guy was just an ordinary person; he would definitely not be his opponent in a one-on-one fight.

Thinking this in his heart, the big man didn't show any annoyance or fear on his face, he just stopped talking. His gaze was still as contemptuous as ever, not letting others see that he was feeling guilty.

But when Wang Sheng was still taking out assassin tokens, the onlookers couldn't remain calm. Eleven, twelve, thirteen… Wang Sheng's movements were not fast, not slow, not hurried, not relaxed, very rhythmic. Each time, he seemed to be taking one out of his personal package, but no one heard the sound of the assassin tokens colliding in the package. No one knew how Wang Sheng did it.

The clerk who had volunteered to help check the assassin token scores was already stunned. In such a short time, Wang Sheng had actually taken out twenty assassin tokens one by one. Even checking them would take a while. Was this what he meant by 'a few'?

More and more people gathered, and everyone realized that this young man sitting there was definitely not an ordinary person. How many people must he have offended to have so many assassins chasing him and being killed by him in return? No one would believe that an ordinary person would chase after assassins for no reason, right?

Cold sweat had already appeared on the big man's forehead, and he was no longer as confident as he had been. At this moment, he couldn't help but want to slap himself a few times. Why did he have to be so mouthy and provoke hatred in a place full of assassins?

Clatter, clatter, each time Wang Sheng placed an assassin token on the table, the table would make a clattering sound. Each sound was like a knock on the big man's heart, causing his heart to sink a little.

But this terrifying sound seemed to be endless, constantly ringing. In such a short time, it had actually reached thirty.

Some people were already wondering what major job had been offered in the past few months that would cause so many assassins to deal with one person? And they were killed in return? And this person was an ordinary person whose yuan soul seemed insignificant?

Finally, when the number reached thirty-three, Wang Sheng stopped taking them out. Everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at this moment. Fortunately, these tokens were all black, at most level one or two, so they didn't look so scary.

To be honest, most of the level one or two assassins were people who had registered as assassins but weren't from Worry-Free City. They wouldn't take on assassination jobs, so they couldn't level up much. Unless they were real masters, but could an insignificant ordinary person kill such masters?

"Let's see if these are enough to level up first," Wang Sheng said with a smile to the clerk who had volunteered to help. "Thank you for your trouble! Thank you for your trouble!"

Although the commotion here was not loud, it attracted almost everyone. There were very few people handling business in the assassin hall. The staff had all emptied out and were watching the excitement around.

The clerk called out, and more than a dozen staff members came over, each taking two or three, and quickly helped to check the assassin scores.

In less than ten minutes, more than a dozen staff members returned to the registration lady with the assassin tokens and several sheets of paper recording the corresponding tasks and scores for those assassin tokens. The calculation began on the spot. After a while, the results were calculated.

"One hundred points to level up to level two, one thousand points to level up to level three," the registration lady said to Wang Sheng with a face full of regret. "Little brother, you're only thirty-some points away from leveling up to level three and being able to exchange for a level three assassin token. What a pity!" The regret on her face was even more exaggerated than if she had been a little short of leveling up herself.

"What a loss! What a loss!" Wang Sheng also had a regretful expression. What he regretted now was that so many masters of the noble families had been killed in the Marsh Gas Valley and the Thousand Severed Land. Even if one out of five had registered as an assassin in Worry-Free City, there would have been quite a few. It was a pity that there was no way to search their bodies one by one at the time, so he had benefited others.

Just when everyone thought that Wang Sheng was regretting being a little short of leveling up, just when the arrogant big man was secretly celebrating that Wang Sheng had almost leveled up and hadn't embarrassed him on the spot, Wang Sheng seemed to perform magic and put his hand into that simple package again.

"Add these few, and see what level I can reach? Can I exchange for a token?" As Wang Sheng spoke, five silver assassin tokens appeared on the table at once this time.

With a crash, a sound of falling to the ground came from behind Wang Sheng. It was the big man who saw this scene, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground.
