Ultimate Scheming System

BANG!

A streak of glowing light flowed out from Xu Que’s palm and instantly covered the entire wall, overwhelming the hidden restrictive barrier.

Cracking the restrictive barrier had only required Xu Que’s Celestial Core Power. He had mainly relied on the System’s ability to crack the restrictive barrier.

Perhaps the System had really wanted him to open this restrictive barrier and so hadn’t mentioned the issue of charges to Xu Que. The System had started right up on its own getting rid of the barrier.

However, as the restrictive barrier slowly cracked open, Xu Que began to feel vaguely uneasy. He wasn’t clear if he was alarmed by the actions of the System or if he himself really felt a sense of danger.

He immediately turned to look at Buttface and Duan Jiude and said in a low voice, “This restrictive barrier is not simple. You guys quickly set up a Trap & Kill Array outside. And, just in case, you must make it fierce and vicious.”

After saying that, Xu Que looked toward Zixia Fairy and Jiang Hongyan as well as Liu Jingning and said, “Later, when this restrictive barrier opens, the commotion may be pretty huge. You should probably retreat a little now before it opens.”

“F*ck, boy, do you place more importance on sex or friendship? You ask them to move a little farther back, but at the same time you want Your Holiness and Master Duan to throw away our lives?” Buttface suddenly jumped up and shouted. He had already retreated to the gate outside the Treasure Pavilion.

“D*mn, you don’t need to be so terrified? It’s just a small restrictive barrier. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Come quickly and help me.” Xu Que shook his head in disbelief.

“Your Holiness does not believe you. This restrictive spell is very dangerous.” Buttface was very firm. He knew Xu Que too well.

“Come on, if you don’t stay and help me, you won’t get to have a share in the Divine Items inside… Oops, did I accidentally mention that there are Divine Items inside.” Xu Que suddenly covered his mouth and looked chagrined.

“What? There are Divine Items?” Buttface’s eyes instantly lit up, and he quickly rushed over.

Duan Jiude also smiled enthusiastically and rubbed his hands together as he came closer. He laughed mischievously and said, “Boy, we can set up the Array, but you can’t gobble up all the treasures alone this time.”

“Don’t worry, no matter what’s inside, you two definitely will have a share in it. It’s fine too, even if you want to split it all equally.” Xu Que nodded sincerely.

“Very well, that’s settled then.” Buttface and Duan Jiude were happy and immediately rolled up their sleeves to start setting up the Array.

Xu Que was also delighted. If he’d opened up the restrictive barrier and had really woken up the group of big shots inside, in case those people had started to go against him, then at least his side would have these Trap & Kill Arrays to delay them. After which, Xu Que could activate the System’s retaliatory mechanism, which could at least wipe out a few Celestial Kings.

Xu Que didn’t care about how many would be wiped out. As long as he could get his reward from the System, he would immediately steal away.

“Oh, no!” All of a sudden, Xu Que realized something and immediately called out the System, “System, I still have a problem. If the restrictive barrier was opened, but failed to wake up the powerful beings inside, what would this reward be, say?”

DING! “I have calculated that there is a 70 percent probability that you won’t wake up the human beings. Thus, once no powerful beings are awakened, the reward will be invalid!”

“Then if I open the restrictive barrier and wake up those people, but can’t kill a single one, does that mean you won’t give out the reward? Then why the h*ll should I open the restrictive barrier?” Xu Que looked like he was about to give up.

The System was silent for a while before it responded, “As long as the host opens the restrictive barrier and wakes up the powerful beings, you can get all the reward.”

“Hee, hee, hee, it’s a deal! These terms are pretty good.” Xu Que immediately beamed and was very satisfied.

Originally, he’d also felt that there was something odd about all this. According to reason, he and the powerful beings inside this restrictive barrier didn’t have any feud. “If he opened the restrictive barrier and woke them up, this group of people wouldn’t come charging at him to murder him for no reason, would they?”

But since the System’s beep had signaled danger, it had certainly predicted this result, so he still didn’t want to take any risks in breaking the spell.

If it had been only him, Buttface, and Duan Jiude, then they could still try seeking riches and honor. But now with Zixia Fairy, Jiang Hongyan, Liu Jingning, and others also around him, it would be difficult to take care of all of them in case something happened.

Zixia Fairy probably had the ability to defend herself, but the abilities of Liu Jingning, Mo Junchen, and Jiang Hongyan might not be able to keep up against the big shots.

Therefore, Xu Que made a decision. As soon as he opened the restrictive barrier and woke up a few powerful beings in order to cheat the System out of the reward it had offered him, he would immediately turn tail and beat it.

“Hmm, it seems that something’s still not right. There’s no reason for a profiteer like the System not to guess what I want to do. Why did it so easily agree to my conditions? Unless…”

Suddenly, Xu Que thought of something and frowned. Perhaps the System could be certain that once those powerful beings had been awoken, he would definitely not be able to slip away, and he would be forced to fight.

“D*mn, I’ve been deceived.”

Xu Que’s face underwent a transformation, and he was about to take back his hands.

BOOM!

Almost at the same time, a loud thud could suddenly be heard from the stone wall. The restrictive barrier on the wall suddenly solidified and turned into a bright curtain of densely packed runes, which instantly changed into a giant crack in the wall.

“Come on!” Xu Que immediately yelled and took his hand back.

But it was already too late. The rapid rupturing of the restrictive barrier couldn’t be stopped at all.

Soon a piece of the restrictive barrier broke off the wall and the gap in the wall turned into a cloud of darkness. A piercing cold breeze wafted out of it. The air was even filled with the pungent smell of blood.

“Oh, Divine Items, Your Holiness is coming.” Buttface howled excitedly and stretched out his paws to directly tear down the pieces of the restrictive barrier.

“Hee, hee, hee, don’t try to keep everything for yourself.” Duan Jiude smiled roguishly and followed Buttface.

“F*ck, you two dunces, quickly, stop…” Xu Que called out, frightened, and immediately reached out to drag Buttface and Duan Jiude back outside.

However, Buttface and Duan Jiude had touched the restrictive barrier. The whole restrictive barrier had become like a torn sheet of thin paper. It suddenly made a ripping sound and instantly crumpled into a pile of scraps.

Buttface and Duan Jiude quickly fell forward into the restrictive barrier. Xu Que had tried to pull the two of them out. However, unexpectedly, the restrictive barrier had shattered and the huge mouth of a black cave had been exposed. A powerful pulling force erupted from the mouth of the hole and dragged the three of them inside straight away.

“Xu Que!”

Zixia Fairy, Jiang Hongyan, and the others had seen everything that happened. Their faces experienced intense changes. They exclaimed in shock and gave chase.

“Don’t come in here, there’s danger.” Xu Que yelled and followed closely behind Buttface and Duan Jiude to fall directly into the black cave mouth.

Zixia Fairy and several other people didn’t stop and flew forward with determination.

However, in the black cave mouth, that wall of the newly broken restrictive barrier had been restored to its original appearance, and now it blocked out the few people remaining outside.

“Oh, no, this restrictive barrier has a recovery ability.” Zixia Fairy suddenly looked grim.

…

Meanwhile, inside the dark cave, Xu Que, Buttface, and Duan Jiude all fell to the ground after being affected by the pulling force.

But, as soon as they entered the cave, the pulling force disappeared instantly. The surroundings were very chilly, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. There was even a powerful moldy presence.

“Ha, ha, ha, Your Holiness has touched a Divine Item. It’s very hard.” At this time, Buttface’s loud laughter could be heard ringing out in the dark.

“I, the old man, have also found one. It won’t budge no matter how much I try to move it. It must be absolutely a Divine Item!” Duan Jiude laughed out loud.

“Come on, you two brainless idiots!” Xu Que stood up from the ground. His eyes instantly gathered up his Celestial Core Power to restore his clear vision.

However, when he was able to see Buttface and Duan Jiude, he suddenly stood motionless and said, completely beside himself, “You two perverts, what are you doing resting on other people’s bodies?”
