“You shamelessly took advantage of a girl who genuinely liked you, ruthlessly gaining sizable rewards from her. After everything, you wiped your hands clean and prepared to leave. Thus, you have splendidly unlocked the great Talent of [Scumbag]!”
Dean McKenzie stood at the entrance of an underground tunnel outside Pink City, staring at the system prompt before him with a complex expression.
He had not expected such an outcome.
Even now, he could hardly believe it, murmuring under his breath, “Did this damned system get it wrong?
How can there be no plot?
How could there be no scheme?
She’s from the Pigman Clan, how could she possibly fall in love at first sight
with me, a human? It must be a lie!”
But no matter how much he quibbled, deep down Dean knew the system’s prompt was quite likely true.
Setting aside his prejudice against the Pigman Clan, Dean thought about it rationally. If the other party genuinely plotted against him, they wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.
He merely misunderstood. The other party didn’t have any complicated schemes; they simply liked him, that’s all.
That was a big headache for Dean.
“What should I do now? Just leave?”
This would undoubtedly be the most beneficial course of action for Dean.
Whether the princess was scheming or sincere, he took what was given to him and could simply pocket it and leave.
“But by doing that, wouldn’t I be a genuine scumbag? I don’t want to take up the Deputy of being a [Scumbag]!”
That was one factor. On the other hand, Dean’s moral compass didn’t permit him to do that.
Originally, Dean’s values weren’t all that upright.
But ever since following Anthony,
It wasn’t clear whether Dean’s views had corrected, but his baseline definitely got higher.
At least, knowing that the other party didn’t plot against him, he wasn’t at peace just running away after gaining benefits.
“I don’t want to repay her body with my own, should I return the things I got from her?”
Compared to repaying her with his body, the latter sounded slightly more reasonable.
But when he thought about returning what he had already eaten, Dean’s heart ached so much it couldn’t stand it.
“Damn, it would’ve been better if she had plotted against me!
That way, I could’ve eaten everything with a clear conscience!
She’s so sincere! what the hell am I supposed to do!
Cursing and grumbling, Dean still turned back towards Pink City.
Although he hadn’t figured out how to handle the situation yet, he couldn’t just leave like this, right?
Soon after, Dean stealthily returned to the outskirts of Pink City.
Since he had just come out of Pink City, Dean didn’t dare to openly return. Mainly because, after knowing the princess sent him out of the city not to plot against him, Dean vaguely felt that something was about to happen to the princess.
Therefore, he dared not reveal himself in broad daylight.
Very quickly, facts proved that Dean’s caution was right.
Quietly arriving in Pink City, Dean found the city gates closed tight and Pigman guards on the city wall ready for battle.
What’s more important is, there were several places in the city where thick smoke was billowing out. Dean could faintly hear the sound of battle going on inside.
Seeing this situation, Dean’s eyebrows rose.
“Has something really happened?
What happened inside?
Where’s the princess?”
Pink City is under martial law at present. The guards at the city gates are all second-level beings, Dean simply couldn’t infiltrate. He couldn’t figure out the situation inside, and could only watch from outside the city.
Just as Dean stood there, unsure of what to do,
“Boom!”
A hole suddenly exploded on the city gate.
A figure was thrown out from that hole.
Simultaneously, a deafening roar rang out.
“Go!”
Dean recognized it. The figure being thrown out was indeed that of the Pigman maid, and the roar was from the Pigman princess.
After she landed, the Pigman maid started to run without hesitation.
“Stop her, don’t let her call for reinforcements!”
A cold voice from the city echoed. Several figures attempted to charge out, but were stopped by a shadowy figure.
That shadowy figure was terrifyingly powerful.
Despite being only one person, an opportunity was caught, and a figure rushed out chasing after the direction the maid had gone.
Dean watched the scene unfold.
His gaze swung between the shadowy figure and the maid, ultimately deciding to stealthily summon out his pet dog, Old Eight, to carry him and follow the maid at a distance.
He had no choice, the fighting inside Pink City was too high-level. Although Dean’s current strength was absolutely among the top in the first-turn category, and he could easily suppress most second-turn beings, But the fight in Pink City had clearly surpassed the second-turn category. If he went in, he would certainly be toast.
He definitely couldn’t meddle with the fight in Pink City. The only thing he could do was follow the maid and see if there was any opportunity to lend a hand.
The maid and the pursuer were both very strong and fast.
Although Dean’s dog, Old Eight, had turned once, raising all attributes by fifty percent, and the main attribute point agility had increased to 100.5.
But compared to the speed of the maid and the figure, they were still much slower.
Moreover, carrying Dean,
And because they were stealthily following, despite leaving distinct traces along the way, Dean still couldn’t catch up with them for a while. At last, the pursuer caught up with the maid and they started fighting, stopping in their tracks.
That gave Dean the chance to catch up with them.
But even then, by the time Dean caught up an hour had already passed. The fight between the maid and the pursuer had basically concluded. When Dean approached, the pursuer was kneeling on the ground, covered in blood.
There were at least a dozen wounds on his body, but the most horrifying and ferocious wound was on his chest.
The chest armor was already shattered, the wound was deep enough to show his bones.
However, despite this, compared to the maid, the pursuer could be considered light-hearted.
Because at the moment, the Pigman maid Chloe was knocked to the ground, her right hand broken, and she was vomiting a large amount of blood, apparently with no strength left to fight back.
At the same time as Dean’s arrival, the kneeling pursuer stood up, walked towards Chloe, and raised his single-handed axe intending to hack at Chloe. Dean saw this and without hesitation, prepared to launch a Bone Fang at him. However, before Dean could attack, the pursuer suddenly turned around, and violently threw his single-handed axe directly at Dean’s face.
“Oh, shit!”
Dean hadn’t finished cursing when the axe had already landed on his forehead…
