Chapter 18: The strange mask
Chapter 18: The strange mask
An unknown Beginner Village Map. A red haired man was currently brandishing a heavy sword as he tried to kill the white tiger boss in front of him. Even with the three consecutive system notifications sounding out, the heavy sword did not stop. A series of large damage figures continued to appear on the White Tiger King’s head, but when the White Tiger King roared out and counterattacked, the damage dealt was…..
-1
-1
……
“Hen Tian, the first person leaving the Beginner Village actually isn’t you!” A girl who was standing not far away, silently watching the man brandish his sword suddenly said in a surprise voice.
With a heavy hit, the White Tiger King gave a roar as it fell and dropped equipment all over the floor. Hen Tian’s face did not change at all as if this was not something worth mentioning at all.
“I’ve never looked down on a person with potential before.” Hen Tian coldly looked at her as he spoke. It was as if this beautiful red clothed girl was no different from a corpse in his eyes.
“Also, Mei Yu, go back to where you belong. You’re not allowed to follow me anymore.” His voice contained no emotion at all. Hen Tian did not pick up the equipment on the ground because in his eyes, they were all trash.
“If you don’t want me to follow you, then you’ll just have to kill me!” Mei Yu was not scared at all. She didn’t look away from his cold gaze and her beautiful lips slightly pouted, just like she was being a little spiteful.
“You…..Humph! I’ve never killed a girl before.” Hen Tian gave a cold snort and then turned around to walk deeper in.
Mei Yu revealed a smile of victory on her face as she raised a little fist behind her back. Then she quickly followed behind him.
How could I leave you? I need to protect you……
In another unknown map…….
In the endless darkness without a trace of light, there was the endless sound of a sword slicing through broken hide ringing through the darkness. There was also countless monsters giving out pitiful cries.
Suddenly a sinister laughter filled sounded out, “Die, die, die, die……There’s actually someone faster than me. «Rebirth», you truly have not disappointed me……I, Soul Exterminator will make all those people high up fall beneath my feet, letting them taste true despair……Ha, ha, ha, ha.”
Soul Exterminator, this was a name that anyone who has played online games before would know. This was an incomparably strong existence.
In a short five years, he had led his Soul Destroyer Guild to devastate all the other players, completely destroying the game’s balance. He had caused several online games to collapse. Because he depended on his incredible strength and did not draw on the help of a cheat or a bug, there was no one that could deal with him. So, he was considered a terrifying existence in online games and had been nicknamed the “Online Game Killer.”
Soul Exterminator had broken the upper limit for agility in «Rebirth», having an innate agility of 30. He only had a single goal for coming to «Rebirth». He did not come for fame, dominance, or to make money, he just wanted to create a great slaughter.
Shops, inns, restaurants, pawnshops, weapon shops, pharmacies, and auction houses…….Feng Xiao felt dizzy looking at it all. It was as if any kind of store from reality could be found here.
Heavenly Dragon Imperial City was found in the center of the Heavenly Dragon Continent. It was a very large city with a strong aura and it was at least 20 times larger than the capital city. Feng Xiao slowly walked in the direction of the Heavenly Dragon Royal Palace and he saw that the entire path was covered in gold and jade. Feng Xiao could not help praising “Ying Luo’s” ability. These kind of authentic ancient buildings were hard to find in reality.
It would be hard for this kind of game to not become popular!
Only he felt quite lonely being in Heavenly Dragon Imperial City right now. He could only sometimes see those NPC guards carrying broadswords walking by occasionally.
“Hello elder sister, do you know where the Job Change center is?” He had finally met a NPC and Feng Xiao quickly rushed over to ask them.
The NPC that was being called elder sister was an middle aged aunt whose face broke out in a smile like a flower, “Little brother, are you a brave otherworlder? I never thought that there would be people transferring over this quickly. Just walk to the end of this road and you’ll come to the Job Change center.”
“Eh…..Are you certain?” Feng Xiao asked with a strange expression.
“What could be wrong? Everyone in Heavenly Stellar Imperial City know this, so feel free to ask someone else if you don’t believe me.” The middle aged aunt was thinking: Why is there such a handsome little brother? If my daughter wasn’t engaged already, I would definitely make you my son in law.
Feng Xiao was filled with anger. He had actually been transferred to the Job Change center and had walked this long road in vain.
He quickly thanked the NPC aunt before turning back. He could not offend a single NPC here because he didn’t know whether there would be a use for them in the future.
Returning to the Heavenly Dragon Plaza, Feng Xiao realized that there were a few strange old men on the opposite side.
“Fuck! Why didn’t I look around back then……I’ve made such a giant mistake, but are those dreadful old men really the Job Change Instructors? Why do they seem like a bunch of bad old men. Yi?”
By a pillar to the left of Feng Xiao sat a very normal little old man. He was very normal because he was lying there curled up in a ball without moving. Feng Xiao had not noticed him when he was walking past earlier. What drew Feng Xiao’s attention was not the person himself, but rather the mask on his face. This was because the mask was too…..eye catching.
“What kind of mask is this, it is so cool! It is wasted on this strange old man.”
The mask was a dark black colour and only covered half of the old man’s face, even completely covering his eyes. There were clear blood coloured magic marks engraved upon it and there was even a “kill” word on the forehead, exuding an astonishing aura. There were two around ten centimeter fang like protrusions hanging out from the top of the mask, bending down at the end and giving off a cold glow.
He wanted to rob him! Feng Xiao really wanted to rob him, if the system really allowed for something like that to happen.
“Hello old sir, is there anything I can help you with?” Although he was very unsatisfied with this old man wasting this heavenly gift, he still forced himself to talk in a polite manner.
“…….” The opposite side did not even raise his head.
Feng Xiao wanted to kick out at this old man. These old men always stuck their noses into the sky and revealed looks of disdain. He had met one when he entered the Beginner Village and now he was meeting one right after entering the city.
“Old sir, your mask is really handsome, where did you buy it? I’ll go and buy a few basketfuls……” This young master does not believe that he will be unable to get something from you.
“Old sir, how about you sell your mask to me? Eh, how about for ten silver coins? This is the first time I’ll making a losing deal in my life.”
The white moustache under the mask fiercely twitched.
How about this old sir, I will use my the best equipment I have to trade with you. This set of equipment has been with me since I was born and I am very unwilling to give it away.” After he finished talking, Feng Xiao disgustingly took off the Beginner clothes that he was wearing.
“Ding, Player Wind Spirit, because you are inappropriately dressed in the Heavenly Dragon Plaza, affecting the city’s image, the system has imposed a third level fine on you. The fine will be 3% of the gold coins that you own. If you don’t correct this behaviour within 1 minute, your fine will be doubled.”
Feng Xiao “……”
Quickly putting the Beginner clothes back on, Feng Xiao secretly praised the system for being wise. Giving out punishment according to how much a player owned, so even if the currency exchanged opened, the rich players would still have to be obedient.
Feng Xiao felt a cold chill……Did he catch a cold taking off his clothes? Un? Could you catch a cold in the game?
That’s wrong…..This is……Killing intent!
The master of the killing intent is……that rolled up old man.
Feng Xiao did not say anything else and quickly ran off. He was very familiar and sensitive to things like killing intent. Being able to release this kind of killing intent, was not because of extreme anger. Rather…..it was definitely a high level expert. This aura was even stronger than the aura he brought out in reality to look cool.
Feng Xiao was certain that if he continued to stubbornly stand there, there would be only one result – being instantly killed!
“That old man is definitely not a simple character and I actually made him that angry. Ai, that really is bad luck. It’s better if I make a detour around him from now on.”
