The slave merchant won the final victory
Relying on a huge team and dozens of slaves, slave merchants successfully defeated the desert bandits, commonly known as drag farmers.
When Luna came back quietly, she happened to see the surviving slave merchant treating her injuries, and by the way, she arranged her companion's body neatly and prepared to bury it in the desert.
A slave merchant guard dug a hole in the sand with a shovel, then threw his companion's body in, and scolded: "Unfortunate, just after receiving a big deal, I met this group of wild dogs who were biting people randomly.
Another companion sitting next to bandage also sighed: This group of bandits are used to being domineering in the desert, so they don’t care about it. If we come out to do this business, we can only protect ourselves.
What's the people in the southwest mine going crazy? Why did they suddenly collect so many slaves? The person who dug the pit asked casually
Another person said: Who knows, we just make money. If they want slaves, we will give them slaves. Don't ask too much.
The man who dug the pit shook his head, filled the last shovel of sand with a shovel, then turned around and counted it. After counting the heads, he found that the team of dozens of slaves disappeared after a melee, which made him start to curse again.
Slave Merchant Guard B
Status: Injured (recovering)
Power: 25
Resilience: 30
Agility: 27
Perception: 15
Injury: left arm (20), right leg (10), abdomen (10)
Luna quietly found the information about a slave merchant guarding her closest to her. Overall, the attributes are stronger than those of the desert bandits, but the perception is not as high as that of the desert bandits who have been licking blood on their swords all year round, which makes Luna feel a little relieved.
After the defeat of the desert bandits, their weapons and property were confiscated by slave merchants, and the bodies were left aside without anyone to deal with them.
When the slave merchants reorganized their team and continued to move forward, Luna immediately jumped out of the sand and ran to the corpse of the desert bandits as quickly as possible to find useful things.

Luna snatched the pile of corpses for a long time and found only these three pieces of spicy chicken equipment that even slave merchants were too lazy to ask for. But for Luna, these three pieces of equipment are the best equipment in the village.
Especially for this pair of clogs, if she remembers correctly, clogs are probably the only shoes in the game that have a buff BUFF without any negative effects.
Although leg defense is equal to none, it is very suitable for certain specific groups (referring to thieves), that is, this is a pair of shoes that can be worn to pass the level.
Luna still put the equipment into the sand and washed away the blood, then put it on her body without hesitation
With my current strength, it may be a bit difficult to wear six kilograms of equipment and carry a weight of more than ten kilometers off-road
However, one of the characteristics of this game Lost Continent is to do whatever attributes you want to improve. If Luna wants to get a throwing tiles, she must wear these equipment to carry a load and cross-country road.
The heavy chain armor flattened the soft fat ball protruding on the chest, and the headscarf covered Luna's face. After wrapping it with a canvas cloak, Luna only had her legs and abdomen exposed on her body, so her prefix turned into Luna's sexual Luna
How could this be so sexy!
Luna suppressed her desire to complain, took a mouthful of water, and replaced her tail goal with a team of slave merchants.
If there is a chance, Luna will definitely steal some coins from slave merchants, not only to survive, but also to prepare for entering the city
United City is a capitalist force that legalizes slave traders. They not only allow merchants to sell slaves, United City itself is the largest slave trader in this area, and they do not hide their ugly appearance.
If Luna was wearing ragged clothes when she entered the city and didn't have a penny, the soldiers guarding the city would definitely arrest her as a runaway slave, and no one would lend a helping hand to her
In the eyes of United City, no matter who you are or whether you are illegal or not, as long as you are wearing rags and have no money, you are a slave in their eyes
This is capitalist slavery
Luna now looks like a down-and-out wanderer. When she enters the city, she has a high chance of being stopped by the soldiers and questioning her.
However, perhaps because he was attacked by desert bandits, these slave merchants were cautious in their subsequent actions and did not give Luna a chance to get close. With Luna now only having a first-level stealing skill, it was impossible to get something from them.
As the last ray of sunlight also fell below the horizon, Shobati City finally arrived
This is a city built in a desert oasis, and it is also the only oasis with surface water sources in hundreds of miles. From a distance, Luna can see the towering wind turbines in the city and the tall and thick steel walls.
With a nervous mood, Luna tried her best to stand up straight and try her best to make her mental outlook look less like a slave.
Stop, the short guy over there, come here!
The worst happened, a city guard soldier in heavy armor pointed at Luna and shouted, holding a long machete toward her.
Luna was so scared that she almost lost her soul. Seeing the fierce look of the soldier, she hurriedly said: Sir, I am a good citizen.
Good people? The city guard soldier sneered and pointed at Luna's belly and said: It's clearly the escaped slave, come! Capture this escaped slave for me!
I'm really a good citizen, sir! Luna is anxious
The city guard soldier sneered: You don’t even cover the slave mark on you, and you dare to say that you are a good citizen. If you don’t want to be beaten, just stand honestly.
Slave mark?
Luna was stunned. When did she have this thing
She looked down the place where the soldier pointed. She had previously blocked her sight by two soft fat balls. Now after the soft fat balls were flattened, Luna could finally see her belly
Ah, what a sexy black-skinned waist, I licked it!
The point is not this!
Luna found that there was a pink and white lewd...silver pattern printed under her lower abdomen!
Needless to say, the shape of the upper half of the silver pattern exposed outside is understood, and the lower half is blocked by pants. Originally, it can be blocked by normal clothes, but the problem is...
Luna's belt is not high enough to pull the belt to her chest like that
Is this a slave mark?
You say yes, it's it, you say no, it can't be either
For a moment, Luna couldn't find any rebuttal sentences
It turns out that Luna of Se Qin refers to this? The foreshadowing is really deep
You know, the soldiers guarding the city handcuffed Luna, dragged her into the city and took her to the police station.
Just because of a silver pattern, I was captured as a slave. Is there any kingly law in this world? Is there any law of nature?
When will the slave stand up and resist, when will he not be exploited, and when will he be free!
A rage rose in Luna's chest, and this rage completely disappeared at the moment she saw the police station in Shobati City.
Arrived home
Bang!
A young man came into prison on the second floor of the police station
This young man went to jail with a smile
She brought her own quantum unlocking and quantum theft to this dark prison that has been gone for many years
She came, she saw, she conquered!
She has a domineering spirit that looks down on the world. In this prison, she is the absolute king.
This short man is so thin, will anyone buy it? The United City Soldier who put Luna in a cage asked the soldiers in the police station.
Maybe, the police from United City replied that it seems that something has been discovered in the Southwest mine recently, and it requires a large number of slaves. No one wants such a short person usually. Now it may be
Luna raised her ears. This was the second time she had heard the discussion of the Southwest mine. She knew that mine, but in the game, that mine was just a place that the slave game player might go to, and there were not many strange things.
If you insist on having it, it can only be that the mine will trigger a fixed plot when the player's character is caught and become a slave. A force called the technology hunter will rush into the mine to fight with the slave merchants, providing players with the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and escape.
Technology Hunter is an anti-slavery force on the lost continent. When the game is in the late stage, players organize their troops to attack the United City, Technology Hunter will also send troops to support it.
Luna quietly whispered the message, and then squatted in the cage without moving.
The prisons in Shobati City are very simple, all built on the second floor of the police station. A row of iron cages are spread out in a round shape, without beds, without a sack, and without a shower room.
The intelligent creatures on the lost continent are generally several times stronger than those on Earth. The strong males are basically walking more than two meters tall. People with 20 points can swing more than 30 kilograms of weapons to fight, and people with 50 points can carry a camel beast with hundreds of kilograms of kilograms of power.
Especially Luna also installed Gen Shuo MOD
Gensuo, as the name suggests, is a special MOD that increases male abilities. After installing this MOD, all male creatures on the lost continent have been greatly strengthened in one aspect.
Of course, it is not ruled out that females enjoy this MOD bonus. Anyway, Luna didn't consider what to do when she traveled through time and entered the game. Naturally, she would do whatever she wanted.
Luna forgot whether she pretends to be a MOD that makes women Geumshuo. To be honest, she hopes she pretends to be
In other words, she hopes she has
He was locked in the same prison with a group of males and said he was not panicked at all, that was all fake
Luna counted carefully. There were more than 20 people in this prison, most of whom were humans, and a small number were hives and Shaqs. Because of the beautification MOD, these people's appearances were closer to human aesthetics, but at the same time they also showed a problem.
Someone is greedy for Luna's body
It seems that in the world after installing a MOD, silver patterns are all the symbols of slaves. Although Luna covered her face, her petite figure among a group of strong men can arouse others' desire to abuse.
In the cage across the aisle, there was a Shaq prisoner staring at Luna since she was imprisoned.
What are you looking at
Luna is not afraid of him. As long as everyone is locked in a cage, this prison is her world, and the prison guards will look at her face.
The strong man of Shaq smiled and said: Xiaonengpi, this is not the place you should come, but since you are here, you have to accept the rules here.
Sure enough, after installing SOXLAB, something is wrong in this world
Luna smiled slightly, her hands were hidden in the cloak, her fingers moved slightly
Lock picking, success rate: 2%
Look at my quantum lock-opening method!
A few meters away, Luna used quantum lock-opening technique to try to pry the lock that closed the Shaq cage.
The police station's lock is far less advanced than the slave merchant's lock. Even Luna's level of lock picking can't be stopped. Even if it fails, Luna can gain experience through multiple failures, thereby increasing the lock picking level and probability.
Your unlocking level is increased to level 2
Lock picking, success rate: 4%
Lock picking failed
Your unlocking level is increased to level 3
Lock picking, success rate: 6%
With ten times the experience MOD, Luna's upgrade speed is comparable to a rocket. She failed just a few times and her lock-opening level was upgraded to level 5.
Luna clearly remembers that there is basically no difficulty before the skill level of the lost continent reaches level 50. After level 50, you need to use special training methods to continue to quickly improve the level. I will discuss what specific methods are available.
In short, picking the lock is just like drawing a card. If you pry it a few more times, you will always ship the goods.
Click
A subtle sound came, Luna laughed and the show started
The strong Shakh man suddenly found that his cage was opened suddenly. He frowned and felt something was irritating.
How can the lock be opened by itself?
Just as he was in deep thought, the new young skin on the opposite side suddenly untied its turban and threw a provocative look at him.
It seems to be saying: Guest is here to play
Who can withstand this? The strong Shakh man's blood surged into his heart. When he was excited, he pushed open the cage door and prepared to give this young skin a memory that will never be forgotten forever.
Luna shouted directly: Come on! You're jailbreak!
Prison escape? I am in charge of prison and am used to life and death. Who is escaping from prison? A loud roar came from downstairs, and a figure appeared with unparalleled power. The slaves were cut off and turned into dirt. Who dared to escape from prison in front of me?
The strong man of Shak tribe became cold on the spot. The prison leader came with a few prison guards and strode. Seeing him standing outside, he started beating without saying a word.
Luna turned her head and couldn't bear to see this inhumane scene
From ancient times to the present, no one has escaped from prison, except me, Luna!
Stealing, unlocking, stealing, assassination, as long as you master these four magic weapons, you will not be afraid of traveling all over the world. It is simply the mathematics, physics and chemistry of the new world
Even the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom, I can assassinate you in public!
And prison is the best place to train these four unique skills, no one
As Luna walks out of this prison, the entire lost continent's electric car will tremble under her feet!
The strong Shak tribe was beaten to death, with several broken hands and feet. After being treated by the prison guard, he threw it into a cage and fell into a coma.
Quantum theft method is activated!
Luna reached out to take a look, used a trick to pick up things from afar, stripping off the clothes of the strong Shakh man in the blink of an eye, leaving only a pair of coarse shorts
Your theft level is increased to level 3
But, this is just the beginning
When the strong Shakh man woke up from his coma, Luna had already pried open her lock and quietly touched his back.
*clang*
The strong Shakh man fell into a coma again
Your assassination level is increased to level 2
After doing all this, Luna returned to her cage silently without arousing any alertness
Your stealth level is up to level 18
Whether the prison is in chaos, Sister Lu has the final say
The original English text of Flat Skin is flat skin, which is the name of humans for exoskeleton skin races such as Shaq, but I prefer to translate it into small tender skin.
Relying on a huge team and dozens of slaves, slave merchants successfully defeated the desert bandits, commonly known as drag farmers.
When Luna came back quietly, she happened to see the surviving slave merchant treating her injuries, and by the way, she arranged her companion's body neatly and prepared to bury it in the desert.
