Chapter 8 Under Duress
When the number of two hundred gold coins was reported, Xidel's eyes were straight and he didn't react at all. He instinctively followed Jack's back and walked towards the bonfire; as for the "Sado" behind him? In fact, Xidel didn't have any mood to pay attention to this "Sado" anymore, and he even wished that the other party would die.
After all, this way he can get a bigger share!
But Basoum, who was still hiding behind the tree, missed a beat in his heart - 200 gold pounds?! That's a truly enormous sum of money!
To know that last year, even with Old Master Mi De's care, he only managed to save less than twenty gold pounds!
The sudden appearance of the huge sum of money had brought a strange thought to Basoum's mind, but he soon came back to his senses - he remembered the methods of his superior, those chilling methods; if he really embezzled such a large amount of money, he would probably be worse off than dead.
Although running into that fat sheep was purely an accident, who can guarantee that the news won't be transmitted back to his boss's ears?
Ever since he knew the purpose of this transaction, Basoum had been admiring and... fearing his elder's abilities more and more.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the wild thoughts in his heart, Mitte's left and right arm, the 'wild fox', completely walked out from behind the tree, looking at the returning subordinates.
"How is it?"
With an air of seeming concern, Basoum asked.
"Everything is going smoothly!"
Jack said as he opened the box.
Bang!
The box opened, and under the reflection of the flames, a golden light flashed before Basoum's eyes, causing him to unconsciously close his eyes for a moment.
At this moment, the 'seriously injured' Sado suddenly jumped up, and the long sword in his hand brought a cold light, cutting across Basoum's neck - Basoum felt the sound of the sharp blade breaking through the air and dodged desperately; however, facing Dean's powerful one-hit attack, such a dodging action only completed less than three-tenths before ending.
Pfft!
Blood sprayed out under the action of the trachea, Basoum covered his throat with both hands and fell to the ground in disbelief; at the same time, Xide Li also let out a hurried scream and followed Basoum's footsteps - it was Jack's hand, one sword pierced through Xide Li's heart from behind, completely according to Dean's previous plan.
A plan to paralyze each other with a familiar face, Kimpton and Jack, and then strike unexpectedly; after all, whether it's the crossbow in Sheed's hand or Basoum's own strength, both are enough to make Dean vigilant - the former can tie his hands and feet, making him completely unable to exert himself, while the latter is even more dangerous. According to Jack's description, Dean can confirm that Basoum's strength is far from a true knight, but compared to his opponent, he is much stronger.
A head-on confrontation, under normal circumstances, the chances of winning are less than two out of ten!
Although relying on his own experience, Dean is confident that the ultimate winner will be himself, but the price paid is something he cannot bear now. To know that carrying a seriously injured body to rush on the road is absolutely not a good choice; even if he is different from ordinary people, it is impossible to do so.
So Dean had to choose a more energy-efficient way - and fortunately, he didn't lack such a way, and all the 'props' were very complete!
As Basoum fell to the ground dead, Dean shook his long sword in his hand, and a drop of blood fell straight into the bonfire, making a "sizzling" sound. At that moment, a small white light ball, only visible to Dean, condensed from Basoum's body and flew directly into Dean's body.
【XP+5】
A bit more experience than imagined appeared on the screen that only Dean could see.

(Xī tí gāo sài, bái yè ——cán quē)
Translation: (Western style, high competition, white night——deficiency)
Just like the information in memory, it's just that from the original Lv20, it directly became the current Lv1.
But what does it matter?
Being able to start all over again is enough to make Dean ecstatic, let alone with the system from his past life. Even if he had to come back empty-handed, he would still be willing!
After all, how to get this system, it is clearly remembered in his mind!
That's right, his system that is different from ordinary people was obtained, not born with - when he killed the deputy captain and chopped him up, he inadvertently discovered it!
But such a discovery was enough to change one's life, so he made great efforts to investigate and pursue the origin of that special object, but to no avail.
However, the current Dean has some other ideas - now that he already has a system, what about the one hidden as a 'constant temperature' magic item in the deputy captain's bedroom?
Such an idea once emerged, like a scorching flame that began to burn in Dean's heart.
A scorching heat in his heart caused Dean's breathing to quicken.
However, Dean soon forced himself to calm down - he hadn't forgotten his current goal; even if his guess was correct, the hidden system wouldn't be something he could obtain at this point!
Let's not mention the impending Blood Moon War for now!
The power of the Pola family alone is enough to render him powerless now, even if he returns to the Emerald City without care, he cannot break through the defensive power of the Pola family; although the current Pola family is not the historical Pola family, as the manor of the Minister of Finance of the Emerald Kingdom, its defense forces will absolutely not lack real knights.
Now he needs to plan carefully in order to have a chance of winning against the previous true knight, let alone multiple knights.
Once he encountered two or more knights, no matter how much more planning Dean did, he could be certain that he would definitely die!
"No matter whether it's for the next plan or taking down those guys, I need power! I have to have enough strong power!"
Dean silently shouted in his heart, and his gaze fell on the experience bar that had changed.
【XP：5】
The white light sphere that just flew out of Basoum's corpse is the experience Dein needs, a special existence that can only be obtained from someone who is slightly weaker, equal to or stronger than oneself in terms of strength (level); and it was precisely this restriction that made Dein suffer greatly at first.
Because skills have a limit that cannot exceed 'career level +1', and with the increase of career level, more attributes can be obtained, reaching an astonishing level; therefore, it is natural for Dean to choose the latter. In the early stages, this approach was indeed his strength, surpassing everyone's expectations, but as he leveled up, he needed more experience, which became increasingly difficult to obtain!
Those opponents who were on par with him in terms of strength, each had not only similar physical abilities but also skills that far surpassed his own, even those slightly weaker than him had techniques that exceeded his. Although Dean discovered this issue later, everything became difficult to make up for; he could only gain improvements in technique through daily practice and accumulation, but it was just a drop in the bucket; when he and his enemies were evenly matched, his skills still hadn't reached the corresponding level.
Therefore, quickly upgrading one's occupational level is not the first priority!
To truly gain growth, level and skill must be equally important - so, almost without consideration, Dean added a long-term plan: to raise the skill level as much as possible when the character's level permits.
The priority level of this long-term plan is almost indistinguishable from that of preparing for the Blood Moon War.
Because Dean was very clear that in a real war, what role could a strong man who can hold off thousands play.
But in memory, one's own powerlessness.
It was even more so that Dean had already had a strong sense of being a strong person.
"Fresh blood nourishes the soul, life cleanses the sword in hand, I will chop down thorns and cut through sharpness!"
