Chapter 12 (2/2)
”My zodiac's the chicken.”
Ling Xiaolu: What sort of logic is this?
With how the ostrich sprinted, it quickly brought the two people outside a nearby county, but it did not go in.
Zhen Jiu tossed a small bag over. Ling Xiaolu opened it to see money.
”I'll have to trouble you to buy some provisions for me from the county.”
”You can't go in?”
Zhen Jiu pointed above his head. ”It's not very convenient with this thing.”
Ling Xiaolu saw his name in black above his head. He thought, I even have ”Reward” above my head, isn't that even more inconvenient?
”When a black name enters the city, the guards would chase after them. Once they're caught, they'll be sent to prison. With my current level of aura, I'll need to be in prison for at least 2 to 3 years.”
… Then why are you still playing this game? Just delete your account!
”Don't worry, you can count on me!”
Ling Xiaolu agreed, and on the way to make the purchase, he summoned Ling Long.
Lu Bi: Where are you?
Ling Long: Has that player left?
Lu Bi: He's currently not here.
The little dragon that had been following Ling Xiaolu trembled, then cautiously looked around, only relaxing after confirming it for himself.
”Say, as a GM, even if he's a black name, there's also no need for you to be this scared.”
Ling Long was barely able to hold on to his professionalism. Agitated, he objected. ”W-who said I'm afraid of black names?!”
”Then why did you have such a big reaction?”
”I'm afraid of birds! All animals with sharp beaks are all so scary! I've made so many suggestions to the art department to get rid of this helmet, but they never accepted it! Why did they design such a helmet in the first place, it's really a revenge on society!”
Ling Xiaolu: …
”Then you should be very afraid of your president.”
”Why?”
”Because his last name is Ji1.”
”Do you believe that your account will be deleted if you continue making fun of this last name?”
Ling Xiaolu stopped teasing him.
”Still, why are you afraid of birds?”
”I was pecked by a goose when I was a kid!”
”A goose can be considered an animal with a sharp beak?”
”And a chicken! And a parrot!”
”… Then you should reflect on why they wanted to peck you.”
Ling Long heaved a breath of relief. ”However, it's still ok. There's only one of this helmet in the entire server, and seeing it is a very rare occurrence.”
”That's true, it won't happen again.”
”Oh? You're saying that we won't see him again?”
”No. I'm now friends with him, and meeting him in the future would not be a rare occurrence again.”
Ling Long: ?????
”I'm now going into the county because I'm getting some things for him. Right, just now he said that no one would dare to kill me anymore. What did he mean by that?”
Only now did Ling Long noticed what was above his head. ”Eh? You've been targeted by someone?”
”Targeted?” Ling Xiaolu looked up to see a knife planted in ”Reward”.
”If an a.s.sa.s.sin takes the initiative to 'target' someone listed, that means that he wants to accept this bounty. Anyone who wants to s.n.a.t.c.h this bounty would need to consider if this a.s.sa.s.sin would attack them if they were to kill the bounty first. If the a.s.sa.s.sin is weaker, then the 'target' lock is useless, so anyone who dares to lock on a target would definitely not be an ordinary player.”
”So what if the person who targeted me is Zhen Jiu?”
”Then just as he said, there would no longer be anyone who would dare eye your bounty anymore. Throughout the entire world, there would probably be no one who would dare s.n.a.t.c.h Zhen Jiu's prey. Even if there is, they would not be concerned over this one million, and would be unwilling to trouble themselves over such a pittance.”
”Are all black names this savage?”
”He's no ordinary black name. Zhen Jiu is a player who was here since the beta testing, and he's been playing this game even longer than I've been working for the company. I also heard from my colleagues that ever since the beta testing days, he's been a character whom all players would be terrified of. He would often camp on a map, killing other players. Every day, the customer service department will receive complaints with regards to him, and the prison system was basically set up because of him. However, it's useless, as even if he went in, he would still be able to break out from it.”
”Why do I feel like the person you're describing is completely different? I feel that he's very friendly and easygoing, and he even let me touch his helmet.”
”You??? Touched that helmet???”
”Don't make a mountain out of a molehill, alright?”
”Don't use that hand that touched the helmet to touch me! I'll be infected with birdie germs!” Ling Long dodged him in alarm.
Ling Xiaolu: …
Ling Xiaolu swaggered into the county, and activated the waypoint in the inn.
There were quite a lot of people in the inn. With that eye catching sign on his head, his entrance attracted the attention of nearly everyone.
Everyone whispered amongst themselves.
”Eh? Isn't this that…?”
”The walking one million?”
”That's right, it's him!”
”Apparently many hunters had gone in search of him, turns out he hasn't died yet?”
”But he seems as though he can't even withstand a single blow. Why don't we…”
”Shh, don't go crazy! Haven't you seen who has targeted him?”
”No wonder so many people have returned crestfallen. To be targeted by that person, would he even be able to last till tonight?”
”I suddenly feel that he's a little pitiful. He's only just started playing, but he now has to face the game's greatest devil.”
The pitiful person seemed unaware of his surroundings, and was still cheerily greeting a seated player.”
”Hi, may I ask you something? Where can I buy food and potions?”
”Uhh, if you're the one using them, you can just buy them from the NPC here.”
”They're not for me, I'm helping my friend to buy them. I want the highest quality ones.”
”Then you have to go to the shop, or ask if there's anyone who has mastered alchemy or cooking, and you can buy directly off them. Like this, you can save the trade fee.”
”So it's like this. Then…”
Ling Xiaolu looked around, and everyone had been listening to their conversation. A girl raised her hand. ”I'm an alchemy master, I can sell you potions.”
”Wow, thank you!”
Another person spoke. ”I've just made some lamb chops, do you want any?”
”Lamb chops! They sound very delicious.”
Ling Xiaolu conducted a private trade with those two people, and someone appeared at the door of the inn, gasping.
”Oh no! Zhen Jiu is here, right here outside the county!”
The person whom Ling Xiaolu first spoke to stood up, pounding the table. He pointed at Ling Xiaolu in fear. ”He's here for him!”
Ling Xiaolu looked confused. ”Huh?”
”Quick, run! If not we'll be affected!”
”Hold on! It's not what you think it is, listen to my explanation! Lamb chops, don't leave! Lamb… chops…”
When Ji Meng came online, out of habit, he opened his inventory to feed his pets. However, he discovered a pile of junk in there, and without thinking, he summoned the customer service agent.
”What's going on? Why is there so much junk in my inventory?”
”Please hold on, I'll check it for you.”
The customer service agent returned after a moment of investigation. ”Hi, our investigation has told us that you've allowed a player with the ID ”Lu Bi” access to your inventory in the afternoon, and all these were placed there by him.
Ji Meng smacked his forehead. Yes, how did he forget about what this fellow had done?
”I'll like to remind you that your inventory is currently still in the sharing mode, and the players that have been approved by you can still access your inventory anytime you're online. They'll be able to add to or remove anything from your inventory. As there is a risk in doing so, may I check with you if you'd like to disable this mode?”
”No need,” Ji Meng waved his hand. ”Thank you.”
His social panel showed that the person was currently now at Qiw.a.n.g County. Ji Meng had no clue what he could be doing there. Just as he was going to teleport over, the global channel suddenly exploded.
【Global】Ah Shuo: Everyone, don't go to Qiw.a.n.g County! Zhen Jiu is currently on the hunt for that Lu Bi person, and half the county has been slaughtered! Everyone, stay far away!!!
Ji Meng: ?!!
