Chapter 80: The Bad Guys Entering the City of Slaughter

After speaking, Mu Chen turned to the server and said, "We want to enter the City of Slaughter. Open the door to the City of Slaughter for us!"

Despite the scene of death around them, the server remained surprisingly calm, perhaps having seen such things too often. Pointing at a notice board on the wall of the hotel, he said, "To enter the City of Slaughter, you must complete the tasks listed there."

Tasks?

There are tasks to enter the City of Slaughter?

Mu Chen glanced at the notice board hanging on the wall. Indeed, it listed several tasks. From the server's explanation, Mu Chen learned that they needed to kill a hundred people to gain entry into the City of Slaughter.

Aside from killing, there were two other ways to enter the City. One was to complete tasks issued by the hotel, which resembled mercenary jobs. For example, escorting merchant caravans or going out to purchase goods; or perhaps searching for certain items as requested by the unsavory characters around.

Mu Chen guessed that the purchased goods were likely everyday necessities for the City of Slaughter.

The third way was to pay one hundred thousand gold soul coins each, essentially buying a ticket to enter the City of Slaughter. In other words, having money could open doors.

For most people, one hundred thousand gold soul coins would be a hefty sum, but for Mu Chen and his group, it was easily manageable.

"As for her money, I'll pay!" 

Mu Chen noticed Meng Yiran's bewildered expression and, before she could speak up, he proactively offered to pay her share of one hundred thousand gold soul coins.

"Ah?"

Both the hotel server and manager stared wide-eyed at Mu Chen, their jaws nearly hitting the floor. These underage youths were casually handling one hundred thousand gold soul coins!

Could they be scions of a wealthy family? 

Or perhaps they were young leaders of some sect? 

Or even princes and princesses of a kingdom, principality, or empire?

The hotel staff shook their heads, not dwelling on it. They moved to a specific spot, touched a vase, and gently twisted it.

*Creak!*

The shelves filled with items behind the hotel counter began to slide apart, revealing a dark cave. A warm, humid breeze wafted out from within.

"I'm not going home! It's just drinking some human blood. You can't leave me behind."

After hesitating for a moment, Ning Rongrong finally made up her mind. She closed her eyes, pinched her nose, and downed the remaining Yellow Spring Dew in her cup in one gulp.

Immediately, Ning Rongrong took out another one hundred thousand gold soul coins from her storage soul tool and handed them to the hotel manager.

"Congratulations, you now have the qualification to enter the City of Slaughter! Welcome to the City of Slaughter!" The hotel manager bowed deeply, his demeanor submissive, as he welcomed the group with exaggerated respect.

"Let's go."

Mu Chen took out a fire stick and led the way into the dark passage.

The passage sloped downwards, seemingly leading underground. Using the dim light of their candles and fire sticks, they progressed for about half an hour before a hint of red light finally appeared ahead.

As the Shrek Nine excitedly emerged from the passage, they found themselves in a bizarre world.

A blood-red moon hung high in the sky, illuminating everything around them. Under its glow, the surroundings transformed into shades of crimson, and a faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

"Is that the City of Slaughter?" 

Tang San pointed towards a towering city wall made of a strange metallic stone, standing over a hundred meters high and looking quite imposing.

Mu Chen nodded and instructed, "Tang San, distribute the items to everyone."

"Okay!"

Tang San flicked his fingers and retrieved numerous hidden weapons from his storage soul tool. There were many types of hidden weapons, including Zhuge crossbows, heavy crossbows, penetrating needles, bone-piercing needles, leg crossbows, and celestial claws.

After three months of crafting, each person, except Mu Chen, received a set of hidden weapons.

"Thank you, Third Brother!" 

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

Meng Yiran, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai all expressed their gratitude to Tang San.

Tang San smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Boss Mu. These hidden weapons were crafted under his instructions."

"Thank you, Boss Mu."

"Thank you, Brother."

"Thank you, Mu Chen."

Meng Yiran, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai all turned to Mu Chen to express their thanks.

"We're all friends; there's no need to be so polite."

Mu Chen smiled back, snapping his fingers to produce explosive talismans, smoke bombs, and iron lotus flowers from his storage soul tool.

"Each of you gets ten thousand explosive talismans, one iron lotus flower, and twenty poison smoke bombs. Yiran, since you haven't yet mastered any self-created soul skills from me, and you're the weakest among the Shrek Nine, I'll give you three iron lotus flowers, thirty-nine poison smoke bombs, and twenty thousand explosive talismans." Mu Chen snapped his fingers, and all the items floated perfectly to each person.

"Sister Yiran, you have twenty thousand explosive talismans, which is double what I got. Looks like Brother treats you better than me," Xiao Wu teased, her words tinged with jealousy, yet her smile betrayed no real malice.

Meng Yiran didn't understand the ambiguous tone in Xiao Wu's words. Her cheeks flushed as she looked at Mu Chen shyly and said, "Thank you, Mu Chen. Can I call you Boss Mu from now on?"

Mu Chen nodded.

Seeing Mu Chen agree, Meng Yiran suddenly added, "Actually, let's not. I prefer calling you 'bad guy' because you really are a bad guy."

Without hesitation, Meng Yiran stored all the items in her storage soul tool. Her storage item was quite unique, a serpent-like belt wrapped around her waist, accentuating her slender figure.

"You're not starting to like me, are you?" Mu Chen asked suddenly.

"I… I'm not!" Meng Yiran stammered, caught off guard, her voice faltering as her eyes flickered, revealing her deception.

"Not?" Mu Chen smirked, teasingly saying, "If you're not, then why did you give me that nickname? Women often start with nicknames when they like someone."

"You… you're talking nonsense! I don't like you; you're just a bad guy, always being a bad guy!" Meng Yiran's face turned crimson as she hurriedly defended herself.

Hearing this, the Shrek Eight chuckled in silence. Especially Ning Rongrong, whose face flushed as she recalled her own calls to Mu Chen as a rogue!
