Chapter 220: Do Not Let My Goddess Down
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, everyone in Rose Guild knew that Li Cheng was in his own guild. How could he treat his players the same as those from Rose Guild? If they received the same treatment, it would be a miracle.
Hearing the members’ words, Purple Rose’s face was full of hesitation. In the end, she chose to send Li Cheng a message.
After receiving Purple Rose’s message, Li Cheng was also stunned. How could he have forgotten about Rose Guild?
Li Cheng’s goal was very simple. He was looking for workers. He did not know where the players were from, and the rewards given to Extreme God’s members motivated them to complete quests even more.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng gave Rose Guild 1.5 times the quest rewards.
Both sides were happy with this and everyone was satisfied.
However, the other guilds were very uncomfortable. Currently, among all the guilds in the world, the guild tokens seemed to be incredibly rare. Only two guilds had been established thus far, Extreme God and Rose. Of course, this did not include Rose’s subsidiary guilds.
In Prideful Guild, Peerless Prideful’s face was as black as steel. He looked at his subordinates angrily and said, “Damn it, you bunch of good-for-nothings, you can’t even find a guild token?!”
In the past few days, Prideful Guild had been going all out in attacking secret realms. They had killed at least a few thousand Gold-grade bosses. However, not even a few pieces of Gold-grade equipment had dropped, let alone guild tokens.
Those subordinates were extremely depressed. They clearly defeated a Gold-grade Boss, but why did it only drop some black-steel equipment?
Although the War Soul Guild next door did not manage to find a guild token, they still managed to gain a lot of good equipment. Some of the equipment that would be very useful in the early stages of the game was already in the hands of almost all their core players.
On the other hand, Prideful Guild had not been able to obtain any good items at all. Every day, they would have to fork out their own money to buy all sorts of consumables to go to the secret realm. There was no comparison at all.
Thinking of all this, everyone had a consensus in their hearts. All of this seemed to have something to do with Peerless Prideful’s misfortune.
Of course, they did not dare to say these things out loud. However, more and more people silently withdrew from Peerless Prideful.

After releasing a series of quests, Li Cheng closed the interface in satisfaction. He had already guessed that the entire Divine Dragon Alliance was in an uproar. The Kingdom of Kent would also become the player’s favorite main city.
Li Cheng left the palace with Queen Lena. The Kent Palace had suffered heavy losses, and there were still countless Zergs underground. Queen Lena did not plan to stay there for the time being. She would remain restless if those Zergs were not cleaned up.
Thinking of this, she planned to first stay in the Phantom altar. During that time, Ella would share with her some knowledge and skills of being a queen.
After all, Ella herself was a princess, so she had a certain understanding of being a royal. Li Cheng had strong doubts about Lena’s plans. Why did he feel that Ella was somewhat unreliable in this aspect?
At this moment, he continued to lead Lena forward. Soon, they arrived in front of a temple that was enveloped by a faint shadow. It was Ella’s church.
The priests and believers inside were all extremely busy. With missions being given out and being defined as the national religion, the power of the Church of Phantoms rapidly expanded. They needed to properly divide their work. At the very least, the number of sub-shrines would soon be increased by several times.
Li Cheng took out a teleportation door that emitted blue light from his backpack and placed it down on an empty space.
Boom.
The portal suddenly appeared in a corner of the church. Compared to the mysterious and magnificent church, the appearance of this portal was particularly abrupt.
Seeing Li Cheng’s casual actions, Lena sneered, “Do you also want to put a portal in my bedroom?”
“It’s not impossible,” Li Cheng nodded and said indifferently.
Lena continued to sneer at Li Cheng without saying anything. Li Cheng could not be bothered with this queen who liked to sneer. She was only an 18-year-old girl. Why was she sneering at him like this? He did not even do anything to her.
Did he not just kill her two brothers and half of the population of Hindley City?
Uh… Thinking of this, Li Cheng felt that he might have gone a little too far. However, he would never admit that. He merely shrugged and turned to leave.
“Grand Duke Netherworld…”
Seeing Li Cheng about to leave, Lena suddenly called out to him. Li Cheng turned around and looked at her dark eyes. He was a little confused.
Lena was biting her lip tightly. As if she had made up her mind, she said, “I’ve been serving the Goddess since I was six years old. It’s been twelve years now…
“I’ve never seen her with such a happy expression. I’ve also never seen her trust a man this much before. So… Please, don’t let my Goddess down.”
Li Cheng was silent for a moment. Then, he replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to my own people.”
Li Cheng thought that if his little friend Ella could no longer take it anymore and wanted to do something to him, then no one would blame him for bringing her down with his own hands.
Hearing Li Cheng’s answer, Lena was dumbfounded and extremely dissatisfied. Did this man in front of her actually know what she was talking about?
‘Was that what I was talking about?’
Forget it. Lena could not figure out what the man was thinking, so she decided not to think about it. Either way, she had already said what she wanted to say.
Seeing the expression on Lena’s face, Li Cheng did not care about what she could be thinking. So, he just left.
“Oh, right.” Li Cheng paused for a moment before continuing, “You still have a few good Immortal weapons. I’ll borrow them first.”
Hearing this, Lena thought he had understood what she meant, but she did not expect that he only wanted to borrow the divine artifacts. She gritted her teeth and said, “Go ahead!”
In the next moment, the system’s notification rang in Li Cheng’s ears.
“Ding, dong! You’ve obtained the highest authority in the Kingdom of Kent’s treasury. You may freely use all the items inside.”
..
After Li Cheng left, a vast and mysterious aura suddenly descended. Lena quickly turned around and looked at the pale green phantom not far away. She said in surprise, “Goddess?”
“Lena, is this really okay?” Ella asked.
Lena hesitated for a moment. After today’s events, she had become Li Cheng’s puppet. The entire Kingdom of Kent was under Li Cheng’s control, but soon, her eyes were filled with unprecedented determination. “For the Goddess, everything’s worth it.”
Hearing this, Ella sighed softly. Her heart was moved.
Lena was a child that she had watched grow up. In her, Ella could see her own shadow. She thought that if she had the courage and awareness that Lena had now, perhaps she would not have so many regrets….
