Chapter 668: Fishing Bait
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Look, I found it.”
Sandy found a cross-shaped pendant from the pile of pendants and waved it in front of Fang Heng. “Look, what do you think?”
“What’s this?”
“It’s the legacy of the Holy Church. It was on the news before. The media reported that it had a miraculous reaction. After that, it was always treated as a treasure by the Holy Church,” Sandy introduced it as if he was showing off, “At that time, it was the most valuable artwork in our country’s Holy Church.”
“Oh? So how did you get your hands on it?”
“After the apocalypse, I hired people to go to the headquarters of the Holy Church to look for it. During the apocalypse, this kind of artwork also needs to be protected by professionals.”
Fang Heng thought to himself that it was as expected.
They were all stolen.
“Then what? Should I find the Holy Church?”
“The Holy Church will definitely not let such an artistic thing wander outside.” Sandy already had a plan, he quickly said, “We just need to find a random place to publicize it. At that time, the people of the Holy Church will come looking for it themselves.”
“Oh? Bait?”
Fang Heng quickly thought about the feasibility of the plan.
“Yes, yes, yes.” Sandy looked very pleased with himself. “How’s my plan? It’s not bad, right?”
Interesting.
It was more reliable than Fang Heng had expected.
But he could not put all his hopes on Sandy.
“Okay, let’s try it according to what you said.”
Fang Heng planned to make two sets of equipment. On one hand, he would spread the bait. On the other hand, he would try to find the location of the Holy Court from the player in the game.
After all, the Holy Court was related to the main storyline. Those ambitious players and game guilds would definitely be interested in the Holy Court!
With that thought, Fang Heng stretched his back.
“So before that, we have to think of a way to get more money and announce the news that you have the pendant in your hand.”
“Huh? Get money?” Sandy asked, “How?”
“By borrowing it from a kind person, of course.”
While talking, Fang Heng transformed into a bat form in front of Sandy and flew down the overpass.
…
Half an hour later, Fang Heng and Sandy boarded the train to the neighboring city of Ampere.
Zombie Apocalypse’s technological level was lower than the other two worlds.
However, it was the only world among the three elementary games that still maintained normal social functioning.
Vampires had already taken control of the entire apocalyptic world and divided it into 27 national regions, under the jurisdiction of the major clans of vampires and the Elders Council.
More than 30 minutes ago, Fang Heng had borrowed a lot of cash and two laptops from random lucky citizens who were passing by.
Later, he found the largest local auction house and offline second-hand trading platform through the Internet in the cafe. He took a few photos of the holy cross pendant brought by Sandy and uploaded them, waiting for interested buyers to contact him.
After dropping the bait, Fang Heng searched for information related to the Holy Court online.
It was very little.
Most of them were negative news reports.
Descriptions of evil doomsday organizations that had lost their humanity.
At least in the big cities, Fang Heng could not find the Holy Church that was openly open to the public.
While browsing the latest news, Fang Heng noticed that a few days ago, the neighboring city, Ampere, had been attacked by a terrorist attack. Some vampires were injured or killed, and they suspected that this attack was related to the Holy Court.”
After careful investigation, he found that similar incidents had occurred in recent years in Ampere.
The problem was huge.
Thus, Fang Heng immediately boarded the nearest train to Ampere.
On the train, looking at the night scene outside the window, Fang Heng was thinking about this operation in his heart.
Very good.
This was the plan.
Go to Ampere.
Find a way to find the Holy Court.
He would obtain a large amount of holy water from the Holy Court through trade.
In exchange, he would beat up vampires together with the Holy Court. He would also gather the 99 evolution crystals needed to level up by 20.
He would level up his character again through the semi-fusion crystals and obtain a new wave of zombie clones.
Finally, he would find a way to capture two marquis of the vampires and try to force them to tell him the way to resurrect Angetas.
If he was lucky enough, he might be able to gather one or two holy weapons of the vampires to satisfy the holy weapon set effect.
He could return to District 8, Zombie Apocalypse.
The script had been written.
All of the above needed to be completed within 11 hours.
He was still 20 minutes away from his final destination.
Beside him, Sandy was flipping through the travel manual in his hand excitedly, occasionally criticizing him.
“Tsk Tsk Tsk, just this? This can be called a contemporary artwork?”
“The level of appreciation of art in this world is really lacking to the extreme.”
“Sigh, boring.”
“I’m so disappointed. Fang Heng, look at this painting. It’s actually a fake. Oh my god, even such a lousy painting has the value of being a fake?”
“Sigh, the world is going downhill…”
“Huh?”
While sighing, Sandy suddenly let out a soft exclamation. Then, he quieted down and stared at a picture in the guidebook.
After looking at it for a while, Sandy fell silent.
He turned on the laptop again and searched for information on the Internet.
“Hey, Fang Heng.” After a long while, Sandy pushed the laptop in front of Fang Heng with a serious face. “I think I found it.”
“What did you find?”
“St. Aslan Art Gallery.” Sandy pointed at the art exhibits on the laptop screen and clicked the mouse to switch them one by one, “Look, the art styles of the famous paintings on display are exactly the same as the style of the Holy Church!”
Fang Heng looked at the paintings on the computer…
Style?
Exactly the same?
Was it?
“Oh… right…”
“You’ve also noticed it, right? The twisted artistic style of the Holy Church is very recognizable.” Sandy looked as if he had everything under control, he tapped the table with his index finger. “Fang Heng, I can guarantee that this art gallery is definitely related to the Holy Court.”
“Okay, let’s go take a look later.”
Since he could not find the target at the moment, he could go to the art gallery to try his luck.
Fang Heng thought of turning on his computer and surfing the internet to see if he had gotten anything from the bait he had thrown.
“Ding Dong… Ding Dong Ding Dong…”
As soon as he logged into the online sales platform, a series of message hints sounded on the platform. Even the web page froze for a few seconds.
By the time the page was restored, there were already over a hundred private messages in the private channel.
Did they take the bait?
And he even caught so many?
Fang Heng increased the speed of checking the messages one by one.
Most of the replies were very interested in Sandy’s pendant. Many people even suggested that they wanted to see if it was real with their own eyes.
It was a player!
As he read, Fang Heng frowned again.
A large portion of the messages came from the player.
Fang Heng also saw many players directly requesting to meet offline. They even revealed their identities as some large player guilds or companies. They were willing to give a price that both parties were satisfied with.
