Kuang Zhan rested his greatsword on his shoulder, full of arrogance: "We madmen have over three hundred brothers, most of them level ten or above. Who do you think you are? Is it really necessary just because of one foul-mouthed subordinate? Little Ant on the Leaf, weren't you killed enough this morning?"
Ye Qiu showed no fear, smiling as he said, "That's right, we did lose a few brothers this morning, and we don't have many people. But all our TOT Team brothers are elites above level 15. In comparison, what are your rotten tomatoes and spoiled potatoes?"
TOT Team? Have all my dozen or so brothers from back then come to moons constant?
I was a little excited, and the hand on my sword hilt trembled slightly. Unfortunately, I couldn't acknowledge Ye Qiu and the others yet. After all, I was the one who betrayed them first. If I ran over now and told them I wanted to rejoin, would they accept me again?
The TOT Team is now renowned nationwide, having achieved top three finishes in the domestic league for two consecutive years. Their nearly twenty members are all incredibly formidable, even their substitutes can make players from A-grade teams run in terror. Now that they've all entered moons constant, I estimate the club will also shift its focus to moons constant. Who knows how much turmoil it will stir up.
I want to create miracles in moons constant with them. Is there still a chance?
While I was still thinking, Ye Qiu and Kuang Zhan had already started fighting!
The scene was extremely chaotic. Ye Qiu, a level 17 mage, quickly repositioned to dodge Kuang Zhan's attack. The few players behind him immediately moved as well, and magic and arrows instantly flew everywhere. Several lower-level players on Kuang Zhan's side were instantly killed, and a white cloth leg guard dropped to the ground, which a group of onlookers immediately scrambled for.
Unfortunately, although the TOT Team players were high-level, they were significantly outnumbered. Soon, several players were beaten to critical health and retreated towards the safe zone of the town.
Kuang Zhan was very arrogant, closely following Ye Qiu with the buffs from two high-level priests. Although Ye Qiu's control was very strong, his single attack simply couldn't keep up with the healing from the two priests. So, Kuang Zhan consistently remained at full health, and the surrounding onlookers eagerly waited for Ye Qiu to drop his staff.
I quietly moved to stand beside the two priests behind Kuang Zhan. Almost everyone's attention was focused on Ye Qiu, who was being chased by Kuang Zhan. The moment I raised my sword and struck, that priest realized he was ambushed!
"211!"
"196!"
A chop to the head, then a horizontal slash! Two normal attacks directly sent this roughly level 16 priest back to town!
The remaining priest looked at me in a panic, but I sent a Heavy Strike without hesitation... "454!"
A critical hit!
The power of a full-strength swordsman was fully displayed, and two white lights appeared behind Kuang Zhan with almost no interval.
Kuang Zhan was still happily chasing Ye Qiu, completely unaware of the approaching death.
Amidst the exclamations of other players, I approached Kuang Zhan directly. An Ice Seal Slash, carrying a biting chill, struck down. Amidst the swirling snowflakes, Kuang Zhan was instantly frozen, stunned for 3 seconds!
Immediately following up with a Combo, combined with a fireball from Ye Qiu turning around, Kuang Zhan was instantly killed. Returning to town requires 5 seconds of casting time, and being attacked interrupts it. Kuang Zhan had no chance to return to town under these circumstances. Even better, he dropped the silver armor he was wearing, which I immediately picked up.
System message: Your PK value exceeds 100, and you have been temporarily placed on the town's wanted list!
Red name?
I quickly pushed through the crowd and hurried towards the west side of town. By the time the surrounding people realized what happened, I had already disappeared into the dense forest.
"Phew!"
I really have a red name now. This will take 10 hours of online monster grinding to clear... Perhaps I killed too fast and vanished too quickly. After almost half an hour, that kid Ye Qiu still hadn't found me. It seems this thick-headed guy really didn't even get a clear look at my name.
Passing through the dense forest, I crossed the Plague Graveyard. There was a dilapidated small bridge, and behind it was a lumber mill. Unfortunately, the lumber mill had been occupied by a large group of high-level undead. This time, it was still skeletons, but these were level 26-30 Skeleton Captains, also with high attack, low defense, and low health, perfect for a high-attack swordsman like me.
Oh, right, I also picked up Kuang Zhan's armor earlier. Let me quickly open my inventory and check:
[Bright Silver Battle Armor]
Defense: 32
Stamina: +8
Strength: +7
Required Level: 16
"Beep~!"
Lu Xuehan messaged again: "Lin Fan, was that player who helped Little Ant on the Leaf kill Kuang Zhan and his two companions you?"
"What, Xue Han, you already know?"
"Yes, everyone in town is talking about it. Kuang Zhan went to Sister Lin to ask again. Sister Lin had no choice but to say you're not part of our guild. You don't mind, do you?"
"Of course not. Oh, right, I'm red-named now. Tell Sister Lin that I might have to stay up all night to clear my red name, otherwise it'd be bad if someone exploded me."
"Okay."
I turned off the communicator and began my journey to clear my red name. With my current defense of 152, even level 26 skeletons could only deal about 30 damage to me per hit, while I could inflict about 250 damage on them each time. The ring's lifesteal effect was fully demonstrated at this point, and combined with my self-regeneration, I could completely avoid drinking potions.
After two hours of training, it was 9 PM. Feeling a bit bored, I simply made an item illustration of the Bright Silver Battle Armor and sent it to Murong Shanshan. Within a few seconds, that girl replied: "I don't have any money right now, Lin Fan! You're just making me anxious~!"
I chuckled and began to tempt her: "Shanshan, you can overdraft, you know. Anyway, it's almost the end of the month. How much is your allowance for next month?"
Murong Shanshan hummed and said, "Probably around 5000, but in a few more days, this equipment won't be worth much, and I won't really need it anymore."
"It's fine, I'll sell it to you for 2000. It was dropped by Kuang Zhan anyway, didn't cost me much effort. Just use it for now, and you can pay me when your allowance comes next month."
"Okay, is that really alright? Where are you now? I'll come right over."
"OK, coordinates XXX, XXX. Hurry over, I've missed you so much!"
"Ugh, how cheesy~!"
...Half an hour later, Murong Shanshan emerged from the forest, covered in dew, with a few fresh green leaves still clinging to her soft, long hair.
