Chapter 253
Having won China benefits time and time again, Chen Dian, the most beloved National Treasure in his homeland, had earned himself the lofty title "Phoenix." It was said that no matter the mission, he only knew success.
However, right now, China’s invincible Chen Dian had his brows pinched in frustration.
The Twilight Kingdom...
Gates with the “kingdom” qualifier were hard to find even in China and the United States. On its face, all such gates were supposed to be treasure troves. Even if it had been cleared once already, the same should be true of the Twilight Kingdom, which was why Chen Dian and his team had been sent to Korea in the first place.
Of course, the official reason for their arrival was to investigate Jiang Lei’s death, but that was merely a convenient excuse through which they held complete control over the Twilight Kingdom. Thus, for as long as Chen Dian kept the investigation open, the Twilight Kingdom fundamentally belonged to the Chinese.
Hence, the Communist Party had even boldly sent several National Treasure candidates with Chen Dian’s group—they knew it was the perfect opportunity for them to gain experience as well as potentially unique benefits in a foreign gate, and seeing as Korea had given the Communist Party full investigative autonomy, Korea could do nothing to stop them.
Overall, everything about this mission had seemed perfect to Chen Dian. In fact, rather than call it a mission, this felt more like a vacation the Communist Party had personally arranged.
The table was set; all he had to do was eat.
And by the time this “vacation” was over, he’d had hopes that the National Treasure candidates would return to China as genuine transcendents, thereby adding another merit to his name. After all, the news of a Korean gate giving birth to Chinese transcendents would impress upon the world China’s dominance at home. Should he achieve it, Chen Dian knew the Communist Party would be incredibly pleased.
Alas...
It had been ten days since Chen Dian and his group had first set foot in the Twilight Kingdom, and still Chen Dian had nothing to show for it.
Let alone finding rare treasures, even the experience gain in the Twilight Kingdom was nothing special, for though the orcs offered decent experience, they were clustered in small groups, and their respective villages were scattered across the land, making the time it took to farm them for experience inefficient. And aside from them, the other monsters that they’d encountered in the gate were simply too low-level to hunt for experience.
