Chapter 375 Killing With No Risk Online Store
After getting the Infinite Building Block, the first thing Zhang Heng did was to get to the mall and purchase a few boxes of Lego bricks for experimentation. He was granted a speedup buff while in the Lego world, and when combined with his unique pair of plier-like hands, he could achieve fantastic speeds when a.s.sembling a model. However, this speed couldn’t be replicated in the real world, even with the 10 fingers he had. Still, he had mastered the skill pretty well and could now a.s.semble in a respectable time.
From brick to object, a Lego version of a pistol took him only four minutes to build. Zhang Heng looked at the M1911 in his hand. There was almost no difference between this one and a real M1911 and tried to load it before unlocking the safety pin and replacing the magazine. Astonis.h.i.+ngly, an hour later, the pistol transformed back to a Lego model.
Zhang Heng retrieved the Infinite Building Block and tried to a.s.semble the recurve bow that he used frequently. This time, it took longer to build it, considering how large it was. Thankfully, the final product did not disappoint.
After several tests, Zhang Heng was satisfied with the results.
As long as he carried a few boxes of Lego bricks with him in the future, he would be able to use his Infinite Building Block to a.s.semble whatever he needed, basically transforming any brick object into the real thing. In other words, he could obtain different kinds of weapons anytime and anywhere, especially in sensitive locations such as airports and certain high-security areas. Naturally, weapons like bows and arrows were strictly banned from those places. It was in such plaes that Zhang Heng’s Infinite Building Block would s.h.i.+ne.
After all, no one would consider a pile of Lego bricks as dangerous items.
The Infinite Building Block was also one of Zhang Heng’s most widely accepted game items. However, using it in a quest was another altogether. For example, if he were to teleport into a quest like Blacksail again, he would be unable to find a single piece of Lego brick, not in an ancient world like that. In other words, the Infinite Building Block would be rendered useless. Nonetheless, in terms of availability, Lego bricks were considered as easily acquired items.
After that, Zhang Heng revisited the internet cafe to browse recent postings on the forum. Recently, the hot topic of discussion among players was another Grade-B game item, the Dreamland of Death. It seemed that on New Year’s Eve, word had gotten around that the perpetrator had been found. The strange thing was, more and more posts of similar fas.h.i.+on were continously uploaded in the forum after that.
It appeared that the murderers were not the same person. What was more surprising was that they weren’t even players. These apparent murderers did not know each other, were of different ages, lived in different cities, had different occupations, and some of them were even housewives-hardly anything in common amongst them. The only thing that tied them together, though, was the fact that they dearly wished to kill the person they hated most in their lives. According to them, they had all found an online shop on the internet called Killing With No Risk.
The establishment promised that its customers could purchase a risk-free a.s.sa.s.sination service for only ten yuan.
At first, people thought the site was the regular run-off the mill trinket store, providing their customers with innocent memorabilia like voodoo dolls. That said, some started doubting if it worked, knowing that their enemies would only be knocked down ‘spiritually.’ So after an order was made, they received the package from the website a week later, where detailed instructions for the dummy were enclosed.
Upon receiving the package, most customers used the doll according to the steps provided. Whether it worked or not, it was worth a try since they had paid for it anyway. Some were afraid to do it once the item actually landed in their hands. So, they threw the package aside and continued to curse the ones they hated in their hearts, hoping that it would someday take effect. Of course, there were always those who would ignore the instructions altogether and did things their own way.
Naturally, nothing happened to the second and third groups of people; the divine justice that they expected didn’t materialize. The first group of people, however, were surprised and horrified when they discovered that their targets were killed in their sleep as promised by the store.
There were mixed reactions. Some were overjoyed over the outcome while some started to regret, afraid that the death of their targets would eventually be traced back to them. They also feared retribution, wondering if the owner of the online store would use the secret to threaten them someday. Not too long after all the recepients got their orders, they went online to search for the shop again and found that the website had disappeared without a trace, as if it never even existed in the first place.
Afterward, some quarters even took the initiative to surrender themselves to the police, unable to bear the enormous guilt and psychological pressure they were subjected to. Owing to the outlandish and childish confessions of curses and jinxes, the officer handling the case quickly dismissed them and recommended they consulted a psychiatrist instead.
“This matter is getting more and more interesting. A new and powerful game item has appeared?”
