Chapter 358 - Double Insurance

9th Sponsored Chapter! Thanks Evan B.!

As a level 10 player, killing a level 5 player was as easy as killing an ant. Liu Gan acknowledged that he didn’t have any hatred with this Stick Elder. This fool was merely doing his duty to maintain order. Liu Gan held back on his attack, so he wouldn’t severely wound the player.

“How dare you attack me?” the Stick Elder started blaming Liu Gan. While still sitting on the floor, his complexion looked like he suffered some internal injury from Liu Gan’s attack.

It only took one attack for the Stick Elder to know that Liu Gan was hiding his true abilities. He was certain that Liu Gan wasn’t a newcomer. If Liu Gan had reached level 5, it would explain why he was able to dodge the attack and then counterattack.

Stick Elder didn’t think that Liu Gan could be on a higher level. He felt that he had only underestimated the enemy, and this opened up an opportunity for the enemy to strike.

“If you wanted to kill me, did you think I would just sit there and let you? This time I won’t take it to heart. If you continue with this meaningless struggle, I won’t be so kind next time!” Liu Gan coldly replied.

The audience crowding around were startled. Could this newcomer be level 5? Otherwise, how else could he dodge the Elder’s attack? Instead, the Elder was the one on the floor?Today was certainly lively! Seemed like this incident had to be resolved by the top ten Elders from the Elder Committee!

In this Beginner Village, aside from the Elder Leader, there were nine more Elders in the elite squad. The level range of these Elders ranged from seven to nine. The Second Elder was a few levels above level 10; as for the exact number, no one knew. These top ten players were the Elders that had the most influence in the Elder Committee. Regular players would treat these top players with respect and call them Second Elder through Tenth Elder.

Stick Elder finally mustered the strength to stand up. He stood outside of the three-meter radius around Liu Gan. By now, he thought he had the initial assessment of Liu Gan’s real strength as a level 5 player.

A level 5 player that hid their strength to blend in with the crowd, it was an obvious attempt at derailing this society! As for this type of sabotage or disruption of the community, it was against the rules. As a result, the intruders were worth at least two thousand reward points, for anyone who could kill them.

After confirming that Liu Gan was here to sabotage them, the Stick Elder decided it was justified if he used his ability to injure the intruder. Then, the heavily injured intruder could be presented to the Elder Committee as an achievement. Slowly, Stick Elder walked up to within three meters of Liu Gan to trigger his ability.

While every player at level 5 was able to awaken an ability, Stick Elder gained the ability [Quick Strike]. If the player threw any sharp weapon, like a machete or axe, then within the three meters range it would strike the target. The target wouldn’t be able to evade the attack. This ability was similar to Han GuangMing’s [Meteor Cannon], but the skill activation range was much closer.

“You said you are a new player?” Stick Elder played it casual. This was to guarantee that the first strike of his ability would be a one-hit kill. Firstly, Liu Gan had to be distracted, that way the result would be better.

Level 5 players didn’t have [Mist Armor], so in fights between level 5 players, it was the one who could land the first ability successfully who would have the greater advantage. It could be a one-hit kill, which was exactly what the Stick Elder was banking on happening. He had to calmly talk to Liu Gan, then activate his ability without him knowing.
