Chapter 346: A Bumper Harvest!

The Second Prince frowned, looking dismayed when he saw his now impoverished-looking chamber.

After all, it really was too clean. Nothing had been left behind. Even basic items like the tables and teacups were gone. Everything was gone.

However, on second thought, this was not really a bad thing. At least it had proven that he had chosen the correct people to be his trusted aides, as they had all been able to complete the difficult task.

In such a short time, they had put everything away and left the room so clean as well!

“All of you blockheads, what are you waiting for? Everything’s fine now, hurry up and put all the things back in their original positions!”

At this time, the old eunuch beside the Second Prince hurriedly got up. He a glare and reprimanded the eunuchs.

In fact, he also had not expected these young eunuchs to be able to put everything away to such an extent. He didn’t know if he should praise them for carrying out the orders so thoroughly or to scold them for being blockheads.

The young eunuchs were startled when they saw the Second Prince’s gloomy expression. They were so frightened that they immediately kneeled on the ground and yelled loudly, “we’re in the wrong, we’re in the wrong!”

“What’s that for?” scoffed the Second Prince with a frown. “Hurry up and put all my things back in their places.”

In the Second Prince’s mind, since Xu Que had not followed him to the Imperial Palace, he would only have lost the contents inside his storage ring, which meant nothing to him.

The treasures that really mattered to him were the treasures hidden inside the treasure vault. They were considered the foundation of his life, as well as necessary for him to vie for the throne!

“Yes, your Royal Highness!” The eunuchs gave a uniform reply then raised their heads.

And then the eunuchs just looked helplessly at the Second Prince.

The Second Prince was instantly vexed by that sight. “The audacity! What are all of you still kneeling here for? Are you not obeying my orders anymore? Hurry up and put everything back in their original spots. Or… do all of you want me to continue standing here, yelling orders?”

The eunuchs were scared stiff and held out their hands, trembling with fear. “Your Royal Highness, the items… do give us the items.”

The Second Prince flared up on the spot. If these eunuchs hadn’t been his trusted aides, he would have killed all of them with just his bare hands.

“Have all of you gone insane?” roared the Second Prince. “You’re the ones who took my things, yet you’re asking me for them?”

The eunuchs were instantly bewildered. “Your Royal Highness, didn’t you send a young hero called Red Scarf to help us put away all those things? He also took out the storage ring that you’ve always worn on your body to prove his identity!”

The facial expressions of the Second Prince and the old eunuch immediately froze!

The storage ring… that I’ve always worn?

Red Scarf?

Who the f*cking hell is Red Scarf?

When he heard the strange name and the mention of his storage ring, he knew what had happened.

The only one who would give a weird name like Red Scarf, and who had his storage ring… he was 99 percent sure that it could only be Xu Que.

At that moment, even if the Second Prince and the old eunuch were idiots, they would have known that things had gotten out of hand!

That guy, Xu Que, had already visited his chamber!

F*ck! If that was the case, then the one who had kidnapped the eunuch to find out the location of his chamber would have been him!

Linking up all the incidents he had been notified of upon entering the Palace, the Second Prince’s fury burned even more aggressively than before.

“That atrocious scoundrel!” cried a wrathful Second Prince. “No wonder he left so suddenly… he had already visited my chamber! He is a truly sinister and cunning person…”

The old eunuch quickly tried to console the prince. “Please be appeased, Your Royal Highness! That little bastard will not live for long! Fortunately only some valuable furniture were lost. Your loyal servant will go buy some new ones for you now!”

“Hmm…”

The Second Prince nodded.

But the next moment, he stopped talking even though he had barely begun his sentence. His eyes had happened to catch sight of a door which had been left ajar. It was the entrance to the treasure vault!

His pupils contracted rapidly. A strong feeling of uneasiness and apprehension suddenly hit him all over!

Shoosh!

The Second Prince instantaneously turned into a shadow headed right to the entrance of the treasure vault.

Boom! The next moment a loud muffled sound was heard, as the Second Prince had fallen to the ground.

Poof!

A mouthful of blood abruptly spurted out of his mouth.

He looked at the scene in disbelief.

The treasure vault—which had been filled with all sorts of valuables and treasures—was now empty. There were absolutely nothing left. It had been reduced to a humble room made of stone.

The jade and pearls!

The rare and exotic items!

The secret manuals and skill scrolls…

They were all gone!

Even the black gold armor that he had spent a great deal of effort searching for. He had engaged numerous master craftsmen to forge it… and it was all gone!

He had intended to build an elite troop of soldiers who would wear the black gold armor… it was meant to be his hidden trump card for the future if he needed to start a rebellion to usurp the throne…

 

“What… what the hell has happened? Where are my treasures? Where is my black gold armor?”

The Second Prince could not accept what he saw before him.

All the treasures he had kept in the vault were not things that others could replace or provide. All of them were resources and reserves for his bid for the throne, as well as world domination!

But in such a short period of time, everything had been taken away from him, just like that?

“Xu Que, this prince will fight you right to the end, till one of us dies!”

At that moment, an earth-shattering roar reverberated through the whole chamber!

Far away, Xu Que had decided to stay at another inn and was now lying on the bed with his legs crossed leisurely. He was checking out all the items that he had harvested from the Second Prince in his system inventory. This was f*cking amazing!

“Hahaha! This is a bumper harvest! Looks like I only ever need to target the rich and influential if I ever need money! Just look at that Second Fatty’s treasure vault. It can compare to the vault of a sect that has been around for a few hundred years!”

As Xu Que checked through the items, the smile on his face became wider.

He recycled some basic and unimportant skills, pills and magical weapons for a variety of essences!

All the essences could be used to upgrade his weapon forging and pill refining skills to increase his success rate.

As for some of the treasures, Xu Que could not bear to recycle them to System and so he left them inside his system inventory. He had decided that if there was to be an opportunity in future, he wanted to own a valiant troop and act tough by bringing them out for a stroll in the streets!

After that, he called out System to check on his Acting Tough Points as well as his Experience Points.

After all the events and incidents in the Metal Nation so far, his Acting Tough Points had accumulated to over 20,000. He had once again broken his highest record.

Of course, this amount did not take into consideration the fact that he owed 8,000 Acting Tough Points to the System. Anyway, Xu Que had no intention of returning the points!

As for Experience Points, he was not too far away from levelling up either!

Having killed so many people at the Trial of the Sword Catacomb, his Experience Points were now around six million. Levelling up would require ten million more, which meant he was still short by four million!

“Looks like the Imperial Tombs Contest is a great opportunity for me to level up to Level Ten of the Original Infant Stage!” Xu Que closed his eyes and laughed.

He knew that the Imperial Tombs Contest this time would not be an easy ride. There was bound to be someone who would stir up trouble. After all, the few princes who were vying for the position of the Crown Prince would most probably cause all kinds of conflicts!

Furthermore, he had just cleaned out the Second Prince’s chamber and treasure vault. The Second Prince would certainly not let the matter rest!

Xu Que murmured to himself, “tsk, tsk, tsk. I’d better prepare myself well for the contest to welcome what will be coming for me!”

With that, he put down his legs, took a deep breath, covered his head with the quilt, and slept.

His way of preparing himself well was getting a good night’s sleep—also known as ‘recharging’!

I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf. The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough! Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit. “Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!
