Chapter 65 – Undercovers Alliance
Ling Xuefeng didn't expect his cover to be smashed by Li Cangyu. Originally, he wanted to pretend to still know nothing. However, Li Cangyu sent a private message: [Running to play the game during the regular season, won't it affect your status?]
The clever cat was like a mirror. There was no meaning in pretending so Ling Xuefeng reluctantly admitted: [Wind Colour's next game is in three days so it won't have an impact.]
He used an undercover as a cover but was recognized. An awkward expression couldn't help appearing on the face of the always cold man.
Li Cangyu smiled. [Then accompany me to clear the instance. We are lacking a fixed team member.]
In the game, Love to Eat Braised Fish killed Steamed Ba.s.s, causing Gu Siming to ask curiously, "Cat G.o.d, did you determine who Steamed Ba.s.s is?"
Li Cangyu replied, "It is Ling Xuefeng."
Everyone, “…”
The voice channel was silent. Apparently everyone was surprised.
A moment later, Gu Siming recovered and shouted, "Captain Ling? This person is actually Captain Ling?"
Bai Xuan spoke helplessly, "Xiao Gu, do you have to be so excited? Are you competing to be the number one brainless fan in the league?"
"Hehehe." Gu Siming giggled and scratched his head. Then he ran in front of Steamed Ba.s.s.
[As the Name Suggests has sent a flower to Steamed Ba.s.s.]
[As the Name Suggests has sent a flower to Steamed Ba.s.s.]
……
The system channel was continuously filled with flowers. This was a prop in Miracle. Sending friends flowers could increase the degree of friendliness.
The confused Ling Xuefeng sent a row of question marks. [What are you doing?]
Gu Siming said: [Idol, h.e.l.lo. Hehe, I am your fan!]
Ling Xuefeng suddenly remembered Cat telling him that the paladin in his team was a fan. He didn't quite understand why a young boy playing a paladin would be a fan of his demon summoner.
However, this young boy was expressing affection towards him and was also Cat's teammate. Ling Xuefeng gave him face by saying: [Thank you.]
Gu Siming was excited. "Captain Ling said thank you to me. I want to take a screenshot. Step aside. Let me first take a photo with Captain Ling alone."
Then he ran to Steamed Ba.s.s' side and used the game's screenshot program to take several photos from different angles.
"…" Zhang Jueming helplessly reached out and patted this child's head, saying, "You should go downstairs and run a lap around the club to release your excitement."
Gu Siming replied, "Then people will think I'm crazy."
Zhang Jueming, "…" He also knew!
Bai Xuan said with a smile, "There is a strong compet.i.tor like Xiao Gu. It seems that Cheng Wei won't be able to keep his status as number one brainless fan?"
As he spoke, Li Cangyu suddenly received a private message.
"h.e.l.lo President, are you still missing a member in your fixed team?" It was from G.o.d's Seal.
Li Cangyu remembered this ID of 'G.o.d's Seal' very clearly. It was a friend who added him on the day of the legion defense. This person from the Time Guild followed him around, acting as his bodyguard. Every time a Ghost Spirits killer wanted to kill him, this G.o.d's Seal would use group attack skills to fight the opposite person and protect the commander.
At first, Li Cangyu thought that the president of Time specifically arranged for someone to protect the commander. For the two hours of the legion defense, this guy actually stayed close to him. Li Cangyu doubted the true ident.i.ty of this person.
Every time someone scolded the commander on the camp channel, he would send a message saying: [Stop scolding the commander. You can you up,no can no bb!] Every time the Bright Legion gained an advantage, he would fill the camp channel with: [Commander is so domineering! The commander is handsome! The commander is powerful!]
His typing was extremely fast and comparable to a machine gun firing.
Li Cangyu couldn't help laughing. Cheng Wei, weren't you being too obvious?
The day after the legion defense, Li Cangyu went offline and didn't expose Cheng Wei's ident.i.ty. He thought that Cheng Wei was partic.i.p.ating in the legion defense because he was bored. Unexpectedly, he actually entered the online game again using his side account…
Was this an addiction to opening a side account?
Li Cangyu was really speechless and couldn't help saying: [My team is full. You should go train.]
Cheng Wei pretended not to understand. [What training? G.o.d, I just want to play an instance with you. Can't you give me a position in your team?]
Li Cangyu asked: [Isn't Tan s.h.i.+tian taking care of you?]
Cheng Wei subconsciously replied: [He went out to buy lunch.]
It was only after answering that he found he had fallen into Cat G.o.d's language trap. Cheng Wei sent a row of tearful expressions. [QAQ…]
Li Cangyu smiled. [With your IQ, you should learn how to be an undercover.]
Cheng Wei, "…"
The big name Ling Xuefeng's cover had just been torn off by Li Cangyu. Cheng Wei's cover was completely transparent. There was no way to cover up his 'stupid' nature and he was exposed as soon as he spoke.
He was recognized by Cat G.o.d in 10 seconds so Cheng Wei could only send a laughing expression. [Cat G.o.d, Cat G.o.d, I will accompany you to the instance!]
Li Cangyu asked: [Don't you have to train?]
Cheng Wei explained: [It is lunch break and formal training won't start until 2:30.]
Li Cangyu looked at the time in the lower right corner. It was already 11:30 at night in New York and it was almost noon domestically. Li Cangyu thought about it before turning to Bai Xuan. "Why don't you go to sleep first? There is someone else who wants to play the instance."
Bai Xuan was adjusting his stomach and needed a regular work schedule and adequate sleep. He usually went to bed at 11:30 in the evening. He smiled at Li Cangyu's words and agreed. "Okay. Everyone, I am going sleep first. You won't have a dad to cover you so be careful when playing the instance."
Xie Shurong hurriedly said, "Quickly go and rest. Your body is important so don't stay up too late."
Bai Xuan made a simple sound of agreement, took a shower and then went to sleep.
Li Cangyu invited Cheng Wei's side account and typed on the team channel: [Welcome the two big undercovers who have joined our instance team.]
Ling Xuefeng, "…"
Cheng Wei, "…"
Zhang Jueming asked curiously on the voice channel, "How come there is another undercover? Who is it this time?"
Li Cangyu introduced him, "He is the vice-captain of Time, Cheng Wei."
Gu Siming excitedly said, "Cheng Wei also came? Is he the white magician called G.o.d's Seal?"
Xie Shurong said, "Great G.o.ds have joined so can I take it easy?"
Zhang Jueming lamented, "This instance team is too luxurious!"
This was really a super luxurious lineup. Wind Colour's captain Ling Xuefeng and Time's vice-captain Cheng Wei had actually run to play with Cat G.o.d.
Li Cangyu happily joined the instance with the two super big undercovers.
***
In the Blood Kin Castle instance, the mobs could be bypa.s.sed to directly attack the boss. Previously, the task of going through the detour was left to Li Cangyu but he couldn't help wanting to be lazy today. After entering the instance, he typed on the team channel: [Xuefeng, you go and take the detour.]
[Okay.] Ling Xuefeng had no opinion. He obeyed Cat G.o.d's words and immediately left to find a shortcut.
It had been many years since Ling Xuefeng played this instance and he couldn't remember the correct route. At a fork, he accidentally ran into a group of mobs and instantly died a tragic death.
Ling Xuefeng lay down as a corpse and helplessly typed: [I went the wrong way.]
Li Cangyu, "…"
Cheng Wei actively rushed forward and said, [I'll go!]
Cheng Wei operated the white magician account and actively ran to find a shortcut. The result was that he went in the wrong direction at the fork in the road, attracted a group of small mobs and struggled before dying like Ling Xuefeng.
Cheng Wei sent a row of tearful expressions. [I also went the wrong way!]
Li Cangyu: [How can the two of you be undercovers?]
Ling Xuefeng, "…"
Cheng Wei, "…"
The two men lay on the ground and didn't say a word.
Li Cangyu helplessly had to use his own agile elf summoner and made his way through the Blood Kin Castle's complex roads in less than half a minute, successfully reaching the boss.
[Okay, everyone revive here.] Li Cangyu typed and Ling Xuefeng and Cheng Wei obediently chose to resurrect directly by his side. The other teammates also suicided and resurrected in front of the boss.
Li Cangyu asked: [Do the two of you remember how to play this boss?]
Ling Xuefeng replied: [I forgot.]
Cheng Wei: [I don't know how to hit it!]
Li Cangyu: […You are too unprofessional to be undercovers!]
Were these two people actually here to mess with him?
Li Cangyu helplessly typed: [Come into the voice channel. I will only say it once.]
Ling Xuefeng and Cheng Wei quickly entered the voice room. Li Cangyu started to explain, "The blood kin boss are all similar. This boss has a stealth skill. When he becomes invisible, Xiao Wei will head to the blue position I marked and use a group attack. Ling Xuefeng will use another group attack from the red position."
"When he is targeting a player, run away quickly and don't let him catch up with you." Li Cangyu quickly said, "You have two seconds to respond to the group attack skill. Everyone move behind the boss and hide. That is all you need to be aware of."
Then Li Cangyu added, "Our milk G.o.d has gone to bed. Our team has no healer so you can't mess around."
***
As a result, there was chaos in the team.
Yes, it was these two super big undercovers.
Ling Xuefeng's output was too high for the opening OT. Cheng Wei misplaced the group attack and miss the hidden boss.
Li Cangyu looked at the two men lying on the ground and was speechless. "Did the two of you come to mess me up?"
Ling Xuefeng said seriously: [I wasn't being careful.]
Cheng Wei said: [I was too excited. I haven't played a boss with Cat G.o.d for a long time and my fingers couldn't keep up with the speed of my brain!]
Wasn't it just tapping his fingers?
He was supposed to throw it in front of him. How did he throw the attack behind him? Was he so excited that he was rus.h.i.+ng back and forth?
Li Cangyu sighed and said, "Take it more seriously. If this was the match, I would've abused you 10 times already. Once again Cheng Wei, you threw the group attack in the wrong direction. Xuefeng, your output shouldn't be so high."
The taught Ling Xuefeng typed: [Yes, I see.]
Cheng Wei also typed: [I will be serious and go to the front. Come again!]
Zhang Jueming couldn't help laughing. He took off his headset and whispered to Xiao Gu, "Look at Cat G.o.d teaching the two of them. I suddenly feel very cool."
Gu Siming replied excitedly, "Yes, Captain Ling is serious and always teaches others. Today he is being taught by Cat G.o.d and doesn't dare talk back. Hahaha, I am really happy looking at Captain Ling like this! I'm really a black fan!"
Zhang Jueming, "…"
'Stupid, you're talking into your headset so everyone can hear it!'
Zhang Jueming pointed to his headset. Xiao Gu immediately covered his mouth and made a zipper gesture.
Ling Xuefeng naturally heard Gu Siming's words but he still calmly operated the Steamed Ba.s.s account to play the boss, not making any response.
As this young man said, Cat G.o.d was the only one in the entire league who dared to teach him. But so what? His treatment towards his sweetheart was naturally different. Ling Xuefeng was sweet when listening to Cat. A child who hadn't grown up wouldn't understand.
***
The resurrected Ling Xuefeng and Cheng Wei both showed the focus of a professional player. They listened to Li Cangyu give the explanation again and seriously used their skills according to Li Cangyu's command. This time, the boss was defeated.
Li Cangyu sighed. "The two of you continue to maintain this state. We will hit the next boss."
The Blood Kin Castle had three bosses. The latter two were actually more difficult. However, Ling Xuefeng and Cheng Wei were professional players with high perception. They quickly adapted to the boss rhythm and the six people killed two bosses in just 10 minutes.
Li Cangyu quickly picked up the equipment dropped by the boss and divided it to his teammates.
Among them was a white magician staff. After seeing Cat G.o.d a.s.sign it to the other white magician in the team, Cheng Wei couldn't help saying: [What about me? Look at my equipment. I can also use it!]
Li Cangyu said, "Look at you trying to steal a level 65 staff when you are a vice-captain."
Cheng Wei: [Oh, I almost forgot.]
Li Cangyu was speechless. This guy followed him into the instance and incredibly tried to grab equipment. Did he really want to play the online game?
Ling Xuefeng was very calm and had no interest in the equipment. He only cared about Cat G.o.d's rest. [Shouldn't it be midnight over there? Why are you still awake?]
Li Cangyu said, "I'm preparing to go sleep."
Once the instance rewards were organized, Li Cangyu said, "Xiao Wei, you shouldn't log into the online game as much."
Cheng Wei felt wronged. "Cat G.o.d, are you abandoning me?"
Li Cangyu explained seriously. "You need to train and be well prepared for Time's matches. Tan s.h.i.+tian is working alone. You are the vice-captain so you should take up the responsibility of the vice-captain and don't play around."
Cheng Wei had opened the sound. Tan s.h.i.+tian had gone to buy lunch and heard Cat G.o.d's words when he came back. He couldn't help feeling moved.
Li Cangyu was a gentle elder to Cheng Wei, guiding him to be more mature and strong. It was normal for the kitten to strongly wors.h.i.+p and depend on the big cat. Captain Ling's words about how they were 'father and son' were right.
Tan s.h.i.+tian couldn't help smiling slightly at this and brought the food to the dining room. Then he returned and patted Cheng Wei's head. "Xiao Wei, come eat. I bought your favourite egg tart."
“Oh, I'm coming!" Cheng Wei replied before saying seriously to Li Cangyu, "Cat G.o.d, rest a.s.sured. I will train well this afternoon and later contact you on Q. You should frequently log into your Old Cat account!"
"Okay, go."
Xiao Wei was rushed to training but Li Cangyu had a completely different att.i.tude towards Ling Xuefeng.
There was no need for him to worry about Ling Xuefeng. This person was a very mature captain and Li Cangyu believed he knew how to arrange his time. The fact that he was casually playing in the online game wouldn't affect his status in Wind Colour.
Li Cangyu sent a private message: [I am going to sleep first.]
Ling Xuefeng: [Yes, after dinner I will come online to accompany you. Your time over there should be eight in the morning to noon.]
[If you want. There is actually nothing big on my side. At present, we are just smoothly leveling.]
[Zhang Jueming has already joined the team?] Ling Xuefeng's cover was smashed by the other person so he no longer hid things. He had already inferred the white magician's ident.i.ty a long time ago.
[Yes, this time I returned to China for his contract.] Li Cangyu said: [The team only has five people. This isn't enough.]
[The opportunities to find teammates will slowly come.] Ling Xuefeng rea.s.sured him. [I believe that your luck won't be bad this time.]
[I hope your words are true. Then I will sleep first.] Li Cangyu sent a goodbye wave emoji.
[Good night.] Ling Xuefeng sent a hug emoji.
Then he immediately corrected it. [That is wrong. It should be this.] He followed up with a goodbye wave.
Li Cangyu, "…"
Why did he feel like this person was trying to cover it up? 'Ling Xuefeng, did you really make a mistake?'
Li Cangyu thought of the farewell at the airport where they hugged tightly and couldn't help touching his chin. Ling Xuefeng's cover might've been smashed but it seemed like there was still a deeper hidden layer?

Chapter 66 – a.s.sa.s.sin
Time pa.s.sed quickly. The matches of the second round of the sixth season pa.s.sed one after another. Li Cangyu leveled with his teammates while also paying attention to events in the domestic Miracle League, learning about the style and tactics of various teams.
Ling Xuefeng would go online after evening training to chat while playing instances. Meanwhile, Zhang Jueming and Gu Siming were sent to the arena by Li Cangyu and the young boy quickly grew under the guidance of the uncle.
In one month, Li Cangyu and the others gradually rose to over level 90. The Food Squad Guild was successfully promoted to the highest level 5 guild under the help of the three students.
His initial good luck had probably been exhausted because the next teammate never appeared.
Li Cangyu was already very satisfied that he could meet Xie Shurong and Zhang Jueming in succession in the new district. Perhaps there were many other outstanding newcomers in Moonlight Forest?
Mid-September soon arrived and Li Cangyu's account was finally full level.
That evening, several people celebrated with fireworks in the game. Li Cangyu went to the black market trading house to find some practical equipment.
He had just arrived when a red light flashed on his screen and a sharp dagger was inserted into the chest of the elf summoner. A crit appeared and the fragile elf summoner directly lost 30% health!
Was this an a.s.sa.s.sin?
Li Cangyu frowned and looked back, only to discover that the other person had cleverly entered stealth.
The life portion of Miracle was very rich and the 'a.s.sa.s.sin' was one of them. The game had a NPC who specialized in giving a.s.sa.s.sination missions. After receiving the mission, the map would mark the target that needed to be a.s.sa.s.sinated. The a.s.sa.s.sin would also gain the 'Stealth' and 'Tracing skills. As long as they a.s.sa.s.sination succeeded, they could get very rich rewards and increase the merit points. An a.s.sa.s.sination failure would deduct merit points.
There was a 50% chance that the a.s.sa.s.sination target would be a small boss in the wild and a 50% chance that it would be a player. It was fortunate if the a.s.sa.s.sin encountered a rookie but if they met a master, the likelihood of the a.s.sa.s.sination failing was enormous.
The Food Squad was the first guild in the new district to rise to level 5. In addition, Love to Eat Braised Fish was the commander of the legion defense. Most players in the new district knew that Love to Eat Braised Fish was a master.
An a.s.sa.s.sin who dared to attack the president of the Food Squad, their courage must be big.
Li Cangyu's sharp eyes glanced around but the other person had hidden after the attack. They were clearly versed in a.s.sa.s.sination.
However, Li Cangyu couldn't be attacked by them. He smiled slightly as he operated Love to Eat Braised Fish forward. He deliberately stood in forest with a relatively complex terrain and waited for the a.s.sa.s.sin.
The other side really bit the bait as a knife came from behind a tree!
Li Cangyu suddenly used Flying Feather Steps to move to the other side of the tree and summoned his thunder spirit. The group attack Thunder's Wrath struck then he swapped to the water spirit, quickly freezing the a.s.sa.s.sin in place.
Looking closely, this person was a blood kin a.s.sa.s.sin with an ID of Frost Descends. The t.i.tle of 'a.s.sa.s.sin League's Gold Killer' was written above his head and he was dressed in a simple black outfit.
The t.i.tle above his head was the ranking in the a.s.sa.s.sin league based on the number of times the a.s.sa.s.sin completed a mission. The gold killer indicated that this person wasn't weak and had completed many a.s.sa.s.sinations.
Li Cangyu wasn't polite after freezing him. He exchanged to the fire spirit and quickly lowered the opponent's blood.
The other party realized that he had encountered a master and entered stealth mode as soon as his frozen state was released.
Finding a killer in the forest was really hard but it didn't matter. Since Li Cangyu was the a.s.sa.s.sination target, the person would always come to the door.
Li Cangyu ignored him and continued to the trading house.
He was halfway there when a cold flash of light appeared behind him. The a.s.sa.s.sin used the short stealth duration to once again pierce Love to Eat Braised Fish's chest.
Li Cangyu reacted very quickly and summoned his water spirit and fire spirit. He controlled the opponent and let out a burst of hand speed, quickly killing the person!
Once the a.s.sa.s.sin called Frost Descends lay flat on the ground, Li Cangyu couldn't help smiling. He typed in the area channel: [The mission to a.s.sa.s.sinate me definitely won't succeed. You should give up.]
Frost Descends, "…"
Li Cangyu spoke again: [Or we can make a deal. If I let you kill me, will you give me all the rewards?]
Frost Descends directly resurrected back in the city.
***
An a.s.sa.s.sin easily offended people but it was very rewarding. The a.s.sa.s.sin was the fastest way to make money compared to life players like hunters, blacksmiths, costume makers, etc. It wasn't uncommon for people to play a.s.sa.s.sins in the game.
In the face of a hard target, many a.s.sa.s.sins would cleverly give up on the task so that they wouldn't lose merit points.
Li Cangyu thought this person would give up the mission. He didn't think that after returning from the trading house and going to the instance entrance to meet up with his teammates, he would once again encounter Frost Descends.
This person was obviously looking for an opportunity. Rus.h.i.+ng to a.s.sa.s.sinate Love to Eat Braised Fish, how could Cat G.o.d die so easily? Even the Lou Zhang combination of Ghost Spirits would have to put in a bit of thought to a.s.sa.s.sinate Cat G.o.d. This Frost Descends directly ran to kill Cat G.o.d and the result was… he was once again beaten by Cat G.o.d.
Li Cangyu looked at the person lying in front of him and couldn't help typing: [You haven't given up yet?]
Frost Descends, "…"
Li Cangyu saw that a pair of shoes had dropped and asked: [Do you want the gear that dropped? Should I pick it up for you?]
Frost Descends returned to the city and the corpse instantly vanished.
This guy was very stubborn. He dropped equipment after dying. Li Cangyu happily picked it up and wanted to return it to him, yet he didn't want it. He probably thought that Li Cangyu was humiliating him!
***
For the next few days, Li Cangyu had a stealth a.s.sa.s.sin follow him wherever he went. As long as Li Cangyu was alone, he would secretly come over to stab his knife. This guy's ability to find opportunities was very strong. Sometimes Li Cangyu's blood would fall very low from the sneak attacks. On several occasions, Li Cangyu almost died.
Unfortunately, the a.s.sa.s.sin was killed every time. He lay flat on the ground after dropping one or two equipment. After he was killed 10 times, there was a pile of dropped equipment picked up by Li Cangyu.
Li Cangyu said very helplessly: [Did you come here to give me equipment?]
Frost Descends, "…"
The a.s.sa.s.sin was killed until he only had underwear left.
Bai Xuan looked at Frost Descends wearing only underwear and couldn't help sympathizing. "This guy is really pitiful. Why did he encounter you for the a.s.sa.s.sination mission? Why don't you just die once to help him finish the mission. I am tired of watching that child chase you for a few days."
Li Cangyu laughed. "I'm not used to being killed. Besides, I want to observe him more."
He discovered that this killer was special during the third a.s.sa.s.sination attempt.
At the time, Li Cangyu had been waiting for his teammates at the instance's entrance. There were many people present yet the a.s.sa.s.sin accurately found Li Cangyu's position in the crowd and sharply attacked. If it wasn't for Li Cangyu using his footwork to quickly evade and then using the water spirit to seal off any retreat, Li Cangyu would've been killed by him.
This person was extremely good at finding opportunities and could calmly and patiently wait for the best time to act.
A killer must be able to be immersed. This person obviously had the potential to be a good killer. He had a fast hand speed and quick responses. He was also very decisive when it came to striking or retreating. If he hadn't met the tough Li Cangyu, his a.s.sa.s.sination mission would've already been completed.
Li Cangyu was chased by this person for several days but he actually felt appreciation.
Bai Xuan couldn't help saying, "You deliberately aren't letting him kill you so that he is stuck on his mission?"
Li Cangyu replied seriously, "I just want to deepen my understanding of him."
***
Frost Descends was too pitiful after losing all his equipment and only having underwear left so Li Cangyu send the equipment to him.
Once Frost Descends resurrected in the city, the system told him about a new message and he froze when he opened it.
[I have mailed you all the equipment you lost. After putting it on, come and kill me again.] By: Love to Eat Braised Fish.
Frost Descends, "…"
The corners of his mouth twitched as he put the equipment on. The teenager didn't go back to kill Love to Eat Braised Fish. Instead, he went to the NPC and gave up the a.s.sa.s.sination mission. This was the first time he had given up an a.s.sa.s.sination mission since he played the game but he couldn't deal with Love to Eat Braised Fish's power. In the past few days, he had racked his brain and used every means but hadn't succeeded.
Li Cangyu waited a while and saw that Frost Descends didn't appear. He couldn't help sending a private chat: [You aren't coming to kill me?]
[Yes.]
[Let's play an instance together.] Then a team invitation was sent.
Frost Descends, "…"
This person was so strange! He wasn't angry at all about being pursued for a few days? He also took the initiative to send equipment back in the mail?
Frost Descends replied: [I don't play instances. Thank you.]
Li Cangyu: [If you come here, you can get good equipment. Your dagger's durability is only 10% and the shoes aren't very good. If you change to a better set of equipment, you might succeed in killing me.]
"…" The teenager suddenly felt that he had met the legendary holy G.o.ddess from legends! Why was this person being so nice to the a.s.sa.s.sin who tried to kill him?
He didn't know that Li Cangyu already considered him as a potential teammate and was watching with s.h.i.+ning eyes.

Chapter 67 – Abusing the Teenager
The life skills in Miracle officially opened at level 70. The teenager chose an a.s.sa.s.sin because this playing method was the most exciting.
a.s.sa.s.sins were different from life players who collected materials and made products. Their daily task was to 'kill and get rewards.' Apart from the NPC who randomly selected a target for the a.s.sa.s.sin to kill, people could also issue high-paying a.s.sa.s.sination missions to hire a killer. It could be said that the a.s.sa.s.sination risk was the highest but it was the fastest way to make money.
The youth had been doing a.s.sa.s.sination missions since level 70. He had killed 99 people and was rated as a 'gold killer' by the a.s.sa.s.sin's league. He also acc.u.mulated a lot of wealth in his warehouse.
Now he had no enthusiasm for clearing instances, unlike when he first entered the new district. The happiest thing was to successful complete an a.s.sa.s.sination mission, making him feel very powerful.
There was a setting in Miracle. If an a.s.sa.s.sin's missions were completed continuously, more rewards and merit points would be added. He already succeeded 99 times and only need one more mission to obtain the difficult achievement of 'killing 100 people' and directly upgraded to diamond killer!
At this most critical moment, he encountered Love to Eat Braised Fish and was stuck on his mission.
If an a.s.sa.s.sin failed the mission, the system would kill punishment. He had been killed 10 times by Braised Fish. Putting aside the achievement of 'killing 100 people', there was the decrease in his money… In the end, he could only endure the urge to vomit blood and give up the a.s.sa.s.sination mission. If he kept dying, he would become a poor person.
The youth gritted his teeth and thought about it. Love to Eat Braised Fish had invited him to join the team so he should go and see. He could act as an undercover for a while and figure out how to kill this person.
The teenager accepted the invitation from Li Cangyu.
Li Cangyu said on the team channel: [Everyone gather at the entrance to Beast Jungle.]
The teenager quickly ran to the instance's door.
Beast Jungle was a level 100 instance and many people in the game had reached full level. The instance's entrance was crowded with people but the teenager locked onto Love to Eat Braised Fish's position with one glance. After all, he had been pursuing Braised Fish for several days.
The youth endured the urge to stab him and quickly walked in front of Braised Fish.
Sharp eyes swept around and found a few teammates with blue IDs. There was an angel priest, a terran swordsman, an orc paladin and a white magician. They were all members of the Food Squad and were clearly a friends group.
Love to Eat Braised Fish typed: [Everyone has gathered so enter.]
Everyone entered the instance together. The youth didn't have time to speak when his screen flashed red.
[Blossoming Tree has opened slaughter mode on you!]
The youth was stunned but he had always been someone who loved PK. A person took the initiative to attack him so he naturally wouldn't be polite. He immediately raised the dagger and moved.
Li Cangyu wanted to test this person's true level so he had A'Shu strike after entering the dungeon to see this person's ability to adapt.
The youth's reaction was truly very fast and decisive. The dagger in his hand emitted a cold light as he thrust, moved behind, back stabbed and entered stealth.
But who was Xie Shurong? He was the main professional player of a giant team.
Killing this youth was only a matter of minutes.
The youth didn't even last 30 seconds before he was killed by Xie Shurong's gorgeous Light and Shadow Rotation.
Li Cangyu went on to say, "Once he resurrects, Xiao Gu will come forward. I want to see what you have learned with Uncle Zhang during this time."
Zhang Jueming laughed. "Child, don't disgrace me."
Gu Siming excitedly replied, "Don't worry Uncle! Look at how I beat him!"
The poor teenager had just got up when the system gave him a prompt.
[As the Name Suggests has opened slaughter mode on you!]
Then the paladin wildly rushed over. The s.h.i.+eld in his left hand was raised high while the golden sword in his right hand hacked around. He seemed disorderly but his momentum was imposing!
The already weakened blood kin killer quickly feel at the paladin's feet.
Li Cangyu praised, "Xiao Gu's progress is very fast."
Gu Siming smiled and scratched his head. "Cat G.o.d, thanks for the praise!"
Then Li Cangyu personally came forward.
[Love to Eat Braised Fish has opened slaughter mode on you!]
The boy who was killed again almost collapsed!
It seemed he was wrong. This Love to Eat Braised Fish wasn't a holy G.o.ddess. He pulled the youth into this instance to get revenge!
What was this? The swordsman killed him, the mad paladin killed him and the summoner killed him again. The group of people joined hands to bully him!
The angry youth was about to leave the team when Li Cangyu sent him a message: [Are you going to leave the team?]
Frost Descends, "…"
Li Cangyu: [Already? I thought you were very proud. People killed you so shouldn't you be trying to find a way to kill them back?]
Frost Descends, "…"
[Look, don't even think about a.s.sa.s.sinating me. You can't even fight the teammates around me. I advise you to stop being an a.s.sa.s.sin and change to a tailor or blacksmith.]
Frost Descends, "…"
Li Cangyu sent a touching head emoji. [Look at your garbage equipment. The agility stat is too low while your attack power is seriously overflowing. In fact, if you leave attack at 200% and increase agility, you will be more flexible. A killer's attack power is important but it is useless if you can't hit them. You will have to rely on the agility stat to find more opportunities.]
The youth was very depressed about being killed but once he read this, he couldn't help opening his equipment panel.
It seemed… a bit reasonable?
[Let's play the instance and get some equipment first. Then you can change your equipment.] Li Cangyu stated.
Then he really brought the youth into the instance to give him equipment?
Was this giving chocolate after two slaps?
The depressed youth scratched his head and silently followed behind these people.
As he moved forward, he found that the efficiency of these people when playing an instance wasn't just fast. It could be described as a 'bulldozer.'
The team pushed through to the boss, Li Cangyu gave a simple explanation on the team channel and everyone started to act.
The teenager usually killed people and rarely played instances. In particular, he picked up a.s.sa.s.sination missions every day after reaching full level and never went to an instance.
This boss had a targeted chase skill. Frost Descends was named and he didn't respond in time. The boss caught up with him and used a big move, causing the team's instant death.
He thought the leader would scold him only to see Li Cangyu say: [It doesn't matter. Try again.]
The group resurrected and continued to play the instance. This time, their luck was better and Frost Descends wasn't named. The others hid very skillfully and the boss was soon killed.
Coincidentally, this boss dropped a pair of purple shoes. The attributes were very good as it gave defense while increasing movement speed.
Li Cangyu handed the shoes to Frost Descends and said: [Here, it is for you.]
The teenager took the equipment in a complicated mood.
At the second boss, the youth was clever enough to follow Xie Shurong. He was a melee cla.s.s and there was nothing wrong with the swordsman. Sure enough, this time they smoothly killed the boss and the boss actually dropped a pair of daggers!
The probability of dropping a weapon in a small level 100 instance was the lowest. In particular, a purple rated weapon could sell for tens of thousands of gold at the trading house. The attributes of these daggers were excellent, increasing attack power and crit rate. It was suitable for a blood kin killer to use.
Frost Descends drooled as he stared at the daggers.
Li Cangyu picked up the dagger and said on the team channel: [I'll give you the daggers if you join my fixed team.]
Frost Descends, "…"
He wasn't the type of person to be tempted by equipment. He was very principled.
Li Cangyu continued: [I have the clothing, necklace, bracelet and ring of a blood kin killer. Unfortunately, there is no killer on our team. How about I give all of them to you if you join?] Stick to principles over equipment!
The teenager didn't respond to the bait thrown by Cat G.o.d as he calmly refused. [I won't join your fixed team.] He had a backbone!
Li Cangyu couldn't help smiling. [Don't rush to conclusions. You will join.]
Frost Descends didn't hesitate. [I won't join.]
Li Cangyu touched his chin and thought about how to deal with this stubborn boy. The warm offensive seemed to be unappreciated so it seemed a bit of cruelty was needed.
Li Cangyu came to a conclusion. [If you don't join, I will continue to kill you until you only have underwear left.]
Frost Descends, "…"
The invitation became a threat? Did this person think he was an overlord in the game that the youth would listen to him? Did he thought the youth would be afraid? The teenager rolled his eyes and said: [Come to kill me! I will be waiting.]
***
It turned out that Li Cangyu wasn't joking.
The youth took an a.s.sa.s.sination mission the next day. The target was 'Steamed Ba.s.s' and he looked up the data. Steamed Ba.s.s was a black magician who was only level 98. Frost Descends was two levels higher so he should have the advantage.
He thought he would be able to successfully kill the target this time. The result was that when he lurked behind the target, he found Love to Eat Braised Fish in the vicinity and a bad feeling filled his heart.
In any case, he just needed to quickly take care of Steamed Ba.s.s before Love to Eat Braised Fish came to the rescue.
The youth made a cold expression at this thought and his dagger thrust out. There was a critical hit and he directly cut the other person's blood in half!
He didn't expect this Steamed Ba.s.s' reaction to be so quick. The black magician used Death Imprisonment and accurately sealed him.
Li Cangyu found that the a.s.sa.s.sin had appeared and immediately wrote to Ling Xuefeng: [Kill him, don't be polite.]
Ling Xuefeng never refused anything Li Cangyu said. He didn't ask the reason as he used a set of violent black spells to quickly kill the a.s.sa.s.sin.
Li Cangyu sent a smiley expression through private chat to Frost Descends: [You see, even my weak friends can kill you. You still want to be an a.s.sa.s.sin?]
The young boy who was killed, "…"
He didn't know that the 'weak friend' was actually a terrible great G.o.d. The youth only felt particularly depressed. Why was he so unlucky recently? The a.s.sa.s.sination mission was unsuccessful!
He dropped a hat as part of the death penalty and Li Cangyu quickly picked it up.
The depressed youth directly resurrected in the city.
He took another a.s.sa.s.sination mission. This time the target wasn't anyone from the Food Squad. It was the vice president of the Wind Colour Guild. The youth confidently used the long-term stealth skill unique to the a.s.sa.s.sin and chased the target. His sharp eyes were like a small wolf chasing the prey. He patiently waited a long time before the vice president of the Wind Colour went to the wild.
The opportunity was here!
The youth's eyes turned cold as he immediately moved to the opponent's back, his hands raised in the most common skill of a killer: Backstab!
Same Boat Under Wind and Rain was startled by the sneak attack and quickly turned back.
The surprising thing was that this person's moves were extremely aggressive and his attack power was very high. There was a critical hit and his summoner was a fragile remote cla.s.s. He was uncomfortable at being close to the a.s.sa.s.sin and was about to die…
Just then, a soft white light descended from the sky—G.o.d's Blessing!
Someone added blood to him?
Same Boat Under Wind and Rain looked around and say Bai Xuan standing not far away, adding blood to him.
At the same time, Love to Eat Braised Fish came forward. His water spirit froze Frost Descends, followed by the summoning of the fire spirit and a series of Fireb.a.l.l.s. Then Thunder's Wrath killed the opponent.
Frost Descends, "…"
Same Boat Under Wind and Rain didn't understand the situation but it was true that Cat G.o.d saved him. He was flattered and immediately wrote on the private chat: [Cat G.o.d, thanks for helping me.] Li Cangyu returned: [You're welcome.]
Of course, he didn't do it to save Same Boat Under Wind and Rain. It was to thwart Frost Descends' a.s.sa.s.sination mission.
The young man was severely punished by the system after dying. This time, his clothes and shoes were lost and he didn't have enough gold coins in his bag. The system issued a reminder that he didn't have enough gold coins for the death penalty. He now owed it 1,000 gold coins.
The teenager was going crazy!
A few days ago, his vault still had a lot of money. From the moment he met Braised Fish, his a.s.sa.s.sination missions had continuously failed. He had just died and lost 100 gold coins. Now he died again and fell into a negative value, owing the system 1,000 gold!
Moreover, the equipment on his body also fell and he only had underwear left.
Li Cangyu didn't forget to add fuel to the fire as he sent a private message: [See, I said you would be left in your underwear.]
Frost Descends, "…"
Bai Xuan followed up with a message: [Hey, if you enter the team, I will make you a delicious meal and you can take the best equipment ^_^]
These two people really were thick-skinned.
The child was dressed in only underwear as he returned to the city, sitting in a depressed manner at the fountain in the middle of the city. He also lost his sanity from anger but he took deep breaths and calmed down. He decided to pick up his next a.s.sa.s.sination mission.
As long as he succeeded, the system would reward him 5,000 gold coins and he could return the money owed to the system.
The problem was that he had no equipment. Without a weapon, he couldn't even release his skills!
He could go to the store and buy equipment. However, he didn't have any coins on his body and he also owed the system 1,000 gold coins!
The teenager was completely stunned.
He had no money to buy a weapon, without a weapon he couldn't release skills, he couldn't do missions without skills and couldn't make money…
How miserable!
The young man whispered a few words, wanting to tear Love to Eat Braised Fish into pieces.
Just then, two people with 'no face' appeared in front of him. Love to Eat Braised Fish said: [Do you understand what it means to be flexible? You should join my team and find out our details and weaknesses. It won't be too late to get revenge in 10 years.]
It made a lot of sense.
However, the youth sensed that he was being fooled.
Bai Xuan used the gentle method: [Come, our team is lacking a killer. If you play the instance, you can get all the killer cla.s.s' equipment. I will cover you all the way and guarantee that you don't die. Isn't this VIP level treatment? Hey, right click to join the guild. Then join our fixed team and you can clear instances ^_^]
"…"
Why did he meet these two people?
In order to avoid the continued hara.s.sment, the teenager gritted his teeth. [I will join, I'll join!]
Li Cangyu sent a row of satisfied expressions.
Bai Xuan looked back at Li Cangyu and said helpless, "For this stubborn guy, you have no face."
Li Cangyu laughed. "I don't. In any case, any principles would be lost in front of eating fish? What face do I have now?"
Bai Xuan, “…”
Cat G.o.d was cheeky and killed the youth until he only had his underwear left and he owed the system 1,000 coins. The young boy was forced to tearfully join Cat G.o.d's fixed team.
The collapsed teenager thought, 'Why do I have to join the fixed team?'
