Chapter 15: Thoughts

Bang!

A soft sound echoed in the air.

A huge Demonic Creature silently fell, directly slain by someone, its corpse lying on the ground.

It was an appalling sight, for the fallen Demonic Creature was incredibly powerful, and in the past, it might have taken more than a dozen elite warriors to deal with it at a great cost.

But now, there was only one person who could handle this Demonic Creature.

And it was a young man.

Adam stood silently on the ground, holding a brand-new giant sword in his hand.

Yes, a giant sword.

After a long period of battle, his former Long Sword could no longer be used.

Due to its age, the quality of the Long Sword was quite questionable, and it was used for cutting people, not for cutting other strange objects.

So, some time ago, Adam deliberately spent some money to commission a blacksmith nearby to forge this giant sword.

The giant sword was quite expensive. Due to its solid material, its weight alone could crush a person to death, not to mention its sharpness.

Combined with Adam's extraordinary strength, it could undoubtedly make people experience true despair.

The giant sword's effect on Demonic Creatures was much better than the previous Long Sword.

Having killed the Demonic Giant Tiger in front of him, Adam put away the giant sword and looked further into the distance.

"That's the third one!"

Not far away, Luanne and a few others were standing there excitedly, like cheerleaders.

They were looking at the corpses on the ground, both excited and counting.

In just a few days, this was already the third Demonic Creature Adam had killed.

Moreover, the Demonic Creatures Adam had killed in the past three days were getting stronger and stronger.

The strength of the Demonic Creature now was even more terrifying, very close to a true magic object.

Such a Demonic Creature, if it ran into an ordinary small town, it would definitely be a disaster, claiming the lives of countless innocent people.

Unfortunately, it had encountered Adam this time.

Adam didn't bother with any rules, and directly killed it in just a few moves.

The way he did it was so neat and clean that Luanne and the others were still quite shocked.

However, shock gave way to shock, but now they were somewhat used to it.

After all, they had seen Adam engage in many battles recently.

It usually went like this when Adam fought, mostly just crushing his opponents from all directions, rarely needing to implement other moves.

After all, the difference in strength was there, and under the pressure of absolute power, things like skill were no longer important.

Mounting his horse and watching Luman Thomas and the others deal with the corpse, Adam took out a gold coin from his chest and handed it to Luanne.

"Thank you for showing me the way."

He said, "This is your pay for this time."

"Thank you,"

Smiles spread on Luanne's face as she held the gold coin in her hand.

Like Luman Thomas, Luanne also felt the benefits of being around Adam during this time.

Simply put, there were many benefits to be gained from being around Adam.

After all, he had no shortage of money and was quite generous when spending, much more than what others could offer.

In terms of status, being around Adam for a long time helped them boost their own status.

Due to Adam's influence, those who had once subtly discriminated against them or unconsciously wanted to throw them into the dungeon for extortion and expulsion, the local guards would look upon them more favorably.

Luanne and Luman's development prospects also looked promising.

Being around Adam, they occasionally got some assignments.

For example, they had previously been assigned a task to guide Adam, with a reward of twenty experience points.

Although the reward was not much, it was a good source of experience for both of them.

After completing the task, Adam also gave them additional rewards.

More importantly, they might get clues to job transfers.

/>They had just seen Adam's extraordinary strength, and he couldn't possibly be an ordinary person.

He was most likely a Professional, with clues to a Job Transfer Certificate.

If they stuck around long enough, chances were they'd find something crucial to job transfer.

"Maybe I can try to manipulate..."

As she looked at Adam, Luanne couldn't help but think.

Unlike Luman Thomas who just wanted to stay around Adam and make money quietly, Luanne had a bigger ambition.

She thought, instead of keeping this news to herself, why not find an opportunity to sell it.

Adam's situation was very eye-catching.

With extraordinary strength, a mysterious foreign Knight, and a Professional with a Job Transfer Certificate…

All these elements undoubtedly held great appeal for the players.

Not to mention that he could activate tasks, was a rare special character and was very generous.

There would certainly be quite a few in-game forces interested in such a character.

Luanne felt that if she approached those major forces, someone would definitely be interested in it and would offer a very good price.

Moreover, this would also be beneficial for Adam.

At the current stage, although the overall strength of the players was weak, it didn't mean that the impact of the players was weak.

In the large group of players, there would always be a significant portion whose development was quite good.

After all, you could find every kind of bird in a big forest.

While they were struggling to gain experience through combat, some players would simply pick up money along the way and easily find treasures.

Their influence would also be an excellent complement to Adam.

After all, looking at the current situation, Adam wasn't any kind of immortal, he also needed to eat and sleep, and naturally had certain needs from the outside world.

Luanne also noticed that Adam deliberately collected gold coins.

This showed that the Knight had some desire for money, and to a certain extent, could be influenced by it.

As long as that was the case, Adam would naturally need the support of the players.

The players might even be able to hire or even subdue the Knight.

So, this couldn't be considered a betrayal but a win-win situation.

However, when Luanne tried to probe, she received some bad news.

"There's no need."

Adam just smiled at Luanne's suggestion and then politely declined, "It sounds like a good proposal, but I don't have the time."

"I'll be leaving in a short while."

"Leaving?"

Luanne subconsciously started, and then hurriedly asked, "Can't you take us with you?"

As soon as this was said, both Luman Thomas and the others also turned around expectantly, looking at Adam.

They didn't want Adam to leave either, or at least if he had to, they wanted to try to come along too.

Unfortunately, things often didn't go so smoothly.

Adam looked at them apologetically and then said, "I'm sorry."

"I don't know where I'm going either, so I can't take you all with me."
