I Have A Game Clone

Convince Others with Strength

If he still could not sell off these barbarians, he would really make a loss.

If he sold them now, he could still make some money.

Harper quickly handed the bloodline contract to Ning Shi, as if he was afraid that Ning Shi would go back on his words.

Ning Shi took out gold coins and prepared to pay.

Bruce advised, “Boss, these barbarians consumed about 500 gold coins a year just for food and drinks. If they want to fight for you, they also need weapons and armor, which is a huge amount of money.”

“The key is that the extreme barbarians cannot fuse with bloodlines, do not know how to use magic power and do not have the ability to grow. Compared to bloodline warriors, the cost-benefit ratio is not high.”

What Bruce said made sense. There must be a reason why these nine extreme barbarians couldn’t be sold.

To others, the extreme barbarians were of little value, but in Ning Shi’s hands, they were priceless treasures.

Harper’s eyes almost popped out. He glared at Bruce with hatred. Ning Shi found it funny and still threw the bag of gold coins to Harper.

“Don’t worry, Bruce. I don’t have any other abilities. I just like to convince people with reason. I believe that these barbarians will like me.”

“Harper, your shop has been ridiculed a lot because of the extreme barbarians. Do you want to save your reputation?”

Harper looked at Ning Shi with a doubtful look. Ning Shi weighed the contract in his hand and said with a smile, “I want to subdue these extreme barbarians in public and let them use the ‘original body symbiosis’ talent.”

“As long as these extreme barbarians show their true talent, your shop will be able to change from ‘not knowing anything’ to ‘having foresight’.”

Harper was at a loss. He was just an old gnome and a good slave salesman. He was slow to react to other things.

“If you can’t make the decision, can you get your superior?”

“Yes! Please wait a moment, I’ll ask the shop owner.”

Harper came back to his senses and left in a hurry.

A few minutes later, an elven beauty wearing a green dress and a wreath of thorns on her head appeared in the trading hall.

Her voice was ethereal and melodious, like a lark.

“Hello, my name is Garland. I’m the deacon of the Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce and the manager of the blue-black slave shop. May I know your name?”

“I’m Ning Shi.”

“I’m Ning Shi? That’s a strange name…”

Ning Shi: “…”

“My name is Ning Shi. Harper told you about my proposal just now, right? What do you think?”

Garland nodded. “There’s a fountain square in the middle of the street. There’s a bluestone arena in the square. You can complete the talent contract there, and I can also help you summon the big shots on the street to watch it.”

“But are you sure you can subdue these extreme barbarians?”

Ning Shi smiled. “You’ve already sold the slaves. If I lose, I will be the one who will be embarrassed. You don’t have much to lose, do you?”

Garland remained expressionless the entire time. The elven arrogance was fully displayed.

“Sure. At 5 p.m., there will be at least a thousand people watching your performance.”

After saying that, Garland left.

Bruce had an anxious look on his face. “Boss, you might not have any idea about the strength of the extreme barbarians. An adult extreme barbarian can compete with the overlord of intermediate magical beasts, the earth drake.”

“You have to think carefully about subduing the extreme barbarians in public!”

Ning Shi now had 4 reputation points. It was not enough to recruit nine followers. He had specifically asked Garland to help him get people to watch, just to increase his reputation points.

“Bruce, let me teach you a proverb from my hometown, ‘You can’t judge a book by its cover’. Just wait and see my performance.”

Ning Shi’s confidence did not come out of thin air. He used his insight technique to check the information of the leader of the nine extreme barbarians, Magis.

Character: Magis

Physique: 24 (25)

Spiritual Power: 13 (15)

Appearance: 5 (ordinary)

Family Background: 4 (ordinary extreme barbarian)

Bloodline: Extreme barbarian

Profession: Berserker

Skills: Mace technique, extreme battle formation, fury

Talent: Learning (white), giant strength (blue)

Achievements: None

The strength increase of the giant strength talent was 100%. Ning Shi’s physique was not only superior to Magis, but his talent was also superior.

In terms of strength, nine Magis were not even enough when combined.

Garland’s influence on Shriver Street was extremely great. When Ning Shi arrived at the fountain square in the evening, the square was already filled with people.

“Hey! Brother, what are you guys doing here? It’s so boring. It’s more thrilling to go to the arena and have a man-to-man battle.”

“Don’t you know? The extreme barbarians from the blue-back speciality shop have finally been sold!”

“Ah! Which idiot is so stupid?”

“Not only is he stupid, but he also overestimates himself. Later, he will have to compete with nine extreme barbarians in the bluestone arena.”

“Is it that exciting? Let’s go to the arena later. I will finish watching the clown’s performance first.”

Bruce heard the crowd’s discussion clearly. He thought that being captured and becoming a slave was the most shameful thing in his life. He did not expect that there was something even more shameful waiting for him.

Following his boss into the ring, the surrounding people looked at him as if they were looking at a fool. Bruce’s face was red and he looked like he had nothing to live for.

However, Ning Shi was very calm. He looked at the densely packed crowd below the stage and led the nine extreme barbarians to the middle of the stage.

Tear.

The bloodline contract was torn into pieces by Ning Shi.

“Magis, defeat me in the contest and you can regain your freedom!”

Magis’ eyes widened as Ning Shi tore apart the bloodline contract that restricted them. Seeing the hope of freedom of the barbarians, he shouted excitedly.

“Ha! Ha! Hu!”

“Ha! Ha! Hu!”

The nine barbarians chanted the chant as they performed neat dance steps.

The dance steps were rough and powerful, and the arena made of bluestone shook along with the dance steps.

The audience below the stage was shocked by the momentum of the dance steps and became completely silent.

Ning Shi also stood solemnly. Through the game notification, he knew that this was the extreme barbarians’ berserker dance. Only when they met the most honorable guests would the extreme barbarians perform this kind of dance to show their respect.

Obviously, Ning Shi’s act of tearing up the bloodline contract had won the respect of Magis and the others.

Ha!

Magis let out a final shout, and the dance performance ended. The nine people quickly formed a fist-shaped battle formation and red energy connected them.

A few seconds later, Magis’ bronze-colored skin turned red. Ning Shi knew that the power of the nine extreme barbarians had gathered on Magis alone.

Magis strode forward with one leg. His left arm was placed on the crook of his right arm and his right arm was raised in front of his head, in a posture commonly used by extreme barbarians in wrestling.

Ning Shi followed the customs and assumed the same posture.

Both of their right arms were firmly pressed against each other. In the eyes of the audience below the stage, the wrestling match had yet to begin but seemed to be coming to an end.

Compared to the thick and sturdy Magis, Ning Shi’s robust figure appeared extremely petite and did not seem to have any chance of winning.

Bruce still had a look of despair on his face. He came to the front of the stage and shouted loudly.

“Three! Two! One! Begin!”

As soon as he said that, Ning Shi and Magis exerted their strength together.

To the extreme barbarians who believed in the God of power, Torrell, the contest of strength was like offering sacrifices to a true God. It was sacred and could not be defiled. No matter what kind of opponent they faced, every extreme barbarian would go all out in the contest of strength.

Magis stood with his feet one in front and one behind, his body bent into a bow. This was the best posture to exert strength in the contest of strength. He mustered all the strength in his body and wanted to push Ning Shi down.

Magis kept exerting strength, but Ning Shi did not move at all.

He gritted his teeth, blood surging all over his body, his blue veins bulged and his sweat clouded his head.

But Ning Shi was like a big mountain, standing still.

The audience was in an uproar.

“I just heard from the blue-black shop that this man is called Ning Shi, right? He is really a powerful bloodline warrior. He can compete with the extreme barbarians and is not at a disadvantage at all!”

“Right now, Lord Ning Shi is competing with nine extreme barbarians. Judging from his expression, he seems to be very relaxed. He must have fused with an extremely noble bloodline.”

“Judging from his appearance, Lord Ning Shi is very young. When did such a powerful genius appear in Duohuang?”

Ning Shi had been holding back his strength. Firstly, he wanted to test the strength of the extreme barbarians. Secondly, he wanted to intentionally prolong the time of the competition so that he could gain more prestige.

However, as the competition progressed, a creaking sound came from under their feet.

The supposedly indestructible bluestone arena started to crack as if it was about to collapse.

Ning Shi didn’t hold back anymore and suddenly pushed forward.

Magis felt a strong force coming at him and he couldn’t hold on any longer. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was pushed dozens of meters away, rolling down the stage.

The other eight extreme barbarians who were maintaining the battle formation also spat out blood. Their legs went weak and they sat on the stage listlessly.

The battle ended so quickly. The surrounding crowd was stunned for a few seconds before they collectively let out earth-shaking shouts.

“Ning Shi! Ning Shi! Ning Shi!”

This was the hot-blooded Duohuang. In this place, as long as one was strong enough, they would be able to obtain everything they wanted.

Ning Shi’s reputation kept rising, 5… 11… 23… 45… 60.

It was not until it rose above 60 that the rate of growth slowed down.

After taking a deep breath, Magis and the others walked to Ning Shi and knelt on one leg. The three fingers in the middle of the right palm closed together and placed in the middle of the forehead, chanting in unison.

“Torrell, the God of power, you are the embodiment and symbol of power. Your authority is supreme. Believers pray to you, recite your name, and pray for your witness.”

“Magis, Magel, Malu… recognize the Strength Messenger, Ning Shi, as the original owner. I will submit to the original owner and offer my soul, body and future to him…”

As the nine people chanted, a red light slowly rose from their bodies and disappeared into Ning Shi’s body.

The original owner shared talent took effect.

Ning Shi felt that his strength had increased a little, but the increase was not very obvious. After all, the power of the nine extreme barbarians was not of much use to Ning Shi.

However, Magis and the others were different. After the talent took effect, their bodies swelled up like balloons. In just a few seconds, their bodies had expanded to more than 2.5 meters.

Magis’ face was full of surprise. He clenched his fists and felt the surging and boundless strength in his body. He could not help but feel shocked.

“How powerful is Master’s strength!”

He was not the only one who was shocked. All the big shots on Shriver Street were also shocked.

Seeing that the original owner had finished the sharing ceremony, the elf Garland gracefully flew to the arena. She no longer had her previous arrogance. Instead, she took out a black card, stretched out her hands and respectfully handed it to Ning Shi.

“Lord Ning Shi, you are a respected powerhouse. This is the black gold membership card of the Forest Evening Song Chamber of Commerce. With this card, you will get a 20% discount on all goods purchased in the chambers of commerce.”

“Thank you!”

Ning Shi accepted the card.

Garland’s action was just the beginning. After that, Ning Shi received more than a dozen cards of all kinds. They were all given by the many desolate forces that were deliberately friendly with Ning Shi.

As a follower of Ning Shi, Bruce was also treated with courtesy and adoration.

[Bruce is convinced by the strength you displayed. Character intimacy +10, current character intimacy: 70.]

Looking at the still shocked Bruce, Ning Shi smiled and said, “I told you, I like to convince others with strength.”

Bruce refuted, “Boss, you said to convince others with reason, right?”

“Really? Bruce, let me teach you another proverb from my hometown.”

“To convince others with strength is the way of the King.”

Bruce: “…”
