MMORPG: Martial Gamer Chapter 916 - Stealing The Wrong Seal

Even though w.a.n.g Yu was astonis.h.i.+ngly talented in terms of his martial arts and could kill anyone easily, setting fire was not something he felt comfortable doing.

This fella wielded his blade as he chopped off a few tree branches in the courtyard before getting One Page Book to light it all up.

Everyone knew that dry firewood would result in fire while moist firewood would produce smoke. Once the fire was set, the entire courtyard was enveloped by smoke.

When the City Lord heard the screams of fire from the courtyard, he was finally unable to stay seated. He brushed Fearless to the side before hurrying out of the house.

When the City Lord left, Fearless quickly took out his key to open the drawer mentioned by Ally. Exactly like what Ally mentioned, there was only a stone case within the drawer.

Worrying that the City Lord might suddenly turn around to attack him, Fearless stuffed the case into his bag without any hesitation. Following which, he sneaked out of the house quietly.

w.a.n.g Yu’s fire was not that impressive but the smoke that came out of it was surprisingly successful. At this moment, n.o.body could see anything that was happening in the courtyard.

All Fearless could hear from the chaos in the courtyard was the screaming of the City Lord, “What is happening? What is happening? Hurry up and put out the fire!”

The pity was that the guards at the entrance were all low IQ guards who only knew how to kill intruders. Moreover, the smoke in the area was simply too dense that the City Lord’s cries for help were completely useless.

At this moment, Ally suddenly shouted, “Wylie, hurry back into the house! Someone is trying to steal your seal.”

“F*ck!”

When Fearless heard that, his heart jumped in shock. Fortunately, he didn’t leave any marks behind. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Following that, Fearless took out his staff to execute his flying technique. Covered by the thick smoke in the area, he flew past the walls of the courtyard.

“Guards, hold back everyone in this place. No one is to leave!”

At the same time, the City Lord had also given the order to seal the entire City Lord’s Mansion.

w.a.n.g Yu and the rest wanted to leave when they received news that Fearless had made his way out. However, when they heard the orders of the City Lord, they stopped in their tracks.

Who were they kidding? With that many guards outside, even w.a.n.g Yu wasn’t confident of das.h.i.+ng out.

“Up the wall!”

When w.a.n.g Yu saw that he couldn’t escape from the main gate, he was ready to escape using his Qinggong up the wall. However, the following notification shocked everyone.

“F*ck! Fearless actually stole the City Lord’s seal?” After seeing the notification, everyone finally realised what Fearless was trying to steal.

No wonder the City Lord made such a big fuss out of it. He actually stole the wrong item.

According to the standard of the practice quest, the City Lord would not have the authority to show interest in the seal once w.a.n.g Yu and co. managed to steal it from him.

Who knew that they would be stuck in the courtyard like crabs in a jar?

Ling Longmeng and Yang Nuo were the most unlucky as they were only here to watch the show. In the end, they were both locked up with the rest… It seemed like it wasn’t easy to be a spectator too.

Without any further actions from the girls and w.a.n.g Yu, the fire in the courtyard extinguished by itself. The smoke dispersed and the figure of w.a.n.g Yu and the rest were all revealed.

The City Lord rushed towards w.a.n.g Yu and shouted in an infuriated tone, “Hand my seal over!”

w.a.n.g Yu shook his head as he replied, “I don’t have the seal!”

“Tsk! Even if it is not with you, I bet you have something to do with this!” The City Lord grunted coldly, “As long as the seal doesn’t return to me, all of you can forget about leaving this place.”

“You’re being unreasonable! Who have we offended?” Ling Longmeng refuted angrily.

Ling Longmeng’s mindset was still stuck in the settings of ordinary game. In ordinary online games, it was perfectly normal for players to search for items in an NPC’s house.

However, this was <>, a virtual reality game which was extremely similar to real life.

When faced with Ling Longmeng’s questioning, the City Lord argued fiercely, “I lost something in my house while all of you are in my courtyard and you ask who have you offended? Either way, everyone can forget about leaving!”

The City Lord’s resolve was strong and was definitely not joking about it. Seeing how serious he was, Ling Longmeng grew fearful too.

Therefore, Ling Longmeng hurriedly sent a message to the guild chat, “Fearless, this is bad. Hurry up and return the item.”

After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, Fearless dared not look back as he flew all the way to the Quan Zhen Sect’s office.

After seeing Ling Longmeng’s message, Fearless asked doubtfully, “Why? Didn’t the City Lord say it before? We only need to get the seal.”

As Fearless spoke, he opened up the case and saw a ma.s.sive golden seal lying there.

“Eh? Aren’t there supposed to be two?” Fearless scratched his nose as Ling Longmeng sent yet another message. “You’ve got the wrong one. Hurry back with that seal. Otherwise, he isn’t planning to let us leave.”

“Wrong one?” Fearless was slightly taken aback as he lifted the seal. At this moment, a row of words caught his attention.

Twilight City City Lord’s Seal: Only item that represents the greatest administrative power of Twilight City. The user shall become the lord of Twilight City.

User Requirement: Twilight City reputation reaches 5000, merit points reaches 1000 and possesses the Twilight City’s Guardian t.i.tle.

“F*ck!” Looking at the attributes of the seal, even the normally calmed and composed Fearless jumped up in shock. His palm was sweating profusely as he held onto the seal.

Fearless wasn’t sure who could achieve the first two requirements. However, he knew that w.a.n.g Yu was clearly able to achieve the last requirement.

Reputation and merit points were something that could be grinded. If w.a.n.g Yu could use this, what he could attain would be a main city. Who cares about some administrator seal? No other seal would matter much in front of a seal like this.

As mentioned before: Anything that entered the pockets of the Quan Zhen Sect could forget about leaving easily.

This was especially true for items that couldn’t get any more precious. Now that it landed in the hands of Fearless, there was no way he was going to return it easily.

An excited Fearless said, “Return? Do you know what is in the case? It is the City Lord’s Seal! If Old Bull has this seal, the entire Twilight City will be ours!” At the same time, Fearless sent in the description of the seal.

Seeing the attributes and requirements of the seal, w.a.n.g Yu’s eyeb.a.l.l.s almost flew out.

w.a.n.g Yu’s current reputation in Twilight City was over ten thousand and his merit points were slightly over a thousand too. In addition to the Twilight City’s Guardian t.i.tle, this plaything seemed to be tailored for him.

However, w.a.n.g Yu’s only concern was how he and the rest could get out without Fearless returning the seal… And if he returned the seal, then it would be impossible for them to get their hands on it ever again.

“What should we do?”

“Hehe!” Fearless’ eyes lit up as he chuckled, “You guys can kill yourselves and you’ll be out!”

“That’s a great idea!”

w.a.n.g Yu and the rest had their eyes lit up as they took out their weapons in an attempt to kill themselves. Shortly after, they heard the sneer of the City Lord, “Don’t you think you can leave this place or free yourself just by killing yourselves. The moment you leave this courtyard, you will not be able to leave with anything on you as well.”
