Chapter 16: Evil shortcut

As the quarrel grew louder, Ke Qun’s face became more and more ugly.

“By the way, although I didn’t make the last blow, I was rewarded. There are many resources that the city-state needs.”

These words seemed to wake everyone up.

“Yes, it congratulates me for assisting in killing the BOSS, and then gives me a reward.”

“Me too, there are a lot of glory crystals…”

Others also carefully looked at their system prompts, and indeed rewards were issued, but those who were asked by Ke Qun were busy explaining and didn’t pay attention.

Feng Qi glanced at her reminder, and nodded secretly to the people around her, explaining that it was indeed the case.

No one knows, two players quietly retreated around the woods.

When everyone was attacking the boss, Lu Jiu made her divine bow smaller, stretched the bowstring, and turned it into a small arrow. She wanted to kill the black pig when it only had more than 100 hp but was stopped by Shen Jufeng.

“Wait until it only has a few hp, then you shoot arrows to kill it instantly.”

Lu Jiu was puzzled, “Why?” Now she can also kill in seconds, and it was too uncertain to make a move with only a few dozen qi and blood left.

“If it still has more than 100 hp left, you won’t be able to kill it instantly. Isn’t this clear enough to tell everyone that people are ambushing nearby and that the equipment is excellent? We are here to seek stability, and there is no need to expose ourselves.”

When Lu Jiu heard this, she stopped and waited.

When the black pig had dozens of blood left, she seized the opportunity to shoot a small arrow. The arrow was so small that the speed was so fast that a group of people with their thoughts didn’t notice that arrow directly sank into the black pig’s neck without a sound.

“It’s so exciting. I had the mentality to try it at the time, but I didn’t expect it to be snatched by me.”

Lu Jiu was quite excited now, after all, there were too many people around the black pig, and she was not sure that she can snatch it.

“It’s a good thing to get it, but it also doesn’t matter if you don’t get it. Let’s go back now.”

Lu Jiu shook her head, “I still want to pick some fruit back.”

They went all the way here, she have to bring some special products before leaving.

Shen Jufeng didn’t force it, anyway, it was okay to pick some fruits from afar.

The two walked towards the other side of the woods with ease but did not notice any rustling sounds behind them.

Ke Qun’s side was still in chaos, and no one admits that they killed the boss.

*

It was rare to see strawberries, watermelons, and cantaloupe growing on trees one day.

Lu Jiu gathered fruits like a treasure, and Shen Jufeng also picked some of his favorite ones.

“You two look so excited that I didn’t want to disturb you…”

Lu Jiu was not happy when she heard those words. The other party said those words but he still interrupted them.

The two turned around and saw three men, the one who spoke looked very gentle, and the other two looked like thugs.

Shen Jufeng said bluntly: “Since you know you are bothering us, you should turn around and leave.”

The gentleman saw that the two were still wearing fox masks on their faces, and secretly thought that they were cautious.

But he wasn’t angry either, he just snorted, “I was amazed by the precise kill you two made just now. I don’t have other intentions, I just want to see what rewards you can get for killing the boss.”

Lu Jiu’s originally bored expression subsided. She knew that she and Shen Jufeng were not the only ones in the ambush, but she didn’t expect anyone to watch their movements.

“Why, now in the game world, if you kill you can steal all their money?” Lu Jiu said coldly.

She has seen what happens when a player’s vitality drops to zero, but she has not seen a person who was attacked by others and lost his life.

“Well, there is a chance to drop some equipment. But I don’t know if you two will drop the reward for killing the boss.”

The tone made no secret of the maliciousness, Lu Jiu never thought that one day she would fight with other players.

Shen Jufeng moved very quickly, releasing the ring of death to surround the people on both sides. The gentleman was a little afraid. He saw that this man hadn’t done anything before, and thought that he was at most a shield guard or a warrior, but he didn’t expect to be a magician.

But he was not without cards when he came out. The gentleman moved to Shen Jufeng’s side in a flash, he wanted to kill him in seconds, so that this strange ring would disappear naturally.

The gentleman showed a smile that was sure to win. Another person who was confident that he could withstand his attack was so stupid!

-268!

This was the highest damage Lu Jiu has seen players deal except her and Shen Jufeng. This person has two brushes.

Seeing such an attack, Shen Jufeng only frowned slightly, but the gentleman turned pale with fright and hurriedly backed away.

What a monster! Such high damage was returned in half!

He has only half of his health left now. If the attack just now doubles, he will kill himself.

Thinking of this, he still has lingering fears, this was the first time he was glad that his damage was not so high.

“Why, you’re panicking like this with so little hp lost?” Shen Jufeng sarcastically said.

The gentleman retreated to his companion, and it was the first time for the other two to see the expression of their boss as if they had seen a ghost.

He ignored Shen Jufeng’s taunt, and only said to his side: “He has counterattack skills that directly reflect half of the damage you dealt.”

The other two also gasped in shock. The skills in the game world were really strange.

“Then we…” Will they continue to fight?

The gentleman calmed down his emotions, and forced a smile on his pale face: “I’m really disturbing you two, my two brothers and I are leaving now. I hope you two masters will not remember the villains.”

Thick-skinned!

“Yo, if you can’t beat people, you’ll just have to play dumb and then run away, right? But do you think we’ll agree?” Lu Jiu stared at the gentleman and the others with her dark eyes, which made the other party fearful.

She continued, “You thought it was the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. You think the likes of you can be the oriole?”

The smile the gentleman squeezed out couldn’t hold on. It was the first time he had been insulted like this since he entered the game world.

Shen Jufeng calmed down Lu Jiu. At this moment, the gentleman and the others couldn’t see the handsome man’s expression. They could only hear him say: “Have you killed other players? What did you get after killing the players? I’ll let you go if you tell me.”

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence, “You better be honest, don’t play tricks on me, I believe that the two of us can kill you three in just seconds.”

Sweat dripped from the forehead of the gentleman, and he struggled for a few seconds before he said, “Not long ago we killed the person who had a conflict with us, and after killing him, that person’s equipment dropped. I don’t know if it’s all he has, but we only got his equipment, nothing else.”

So say, the game world will not give rewards if you kill players unlike killing wild monsters. At least this was a good sign.

As for dropping equipment, this was also considered a kind of snatching, or likely.

“I see.”

Before the gentleman could breathe a sigh of relief, Shen Jufeng had already raised his sword and attacked. The gentleman subconsciously took out his mount and ran away without looking back, leaving the minions with dazed faces.

The other two looked at Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng, but the handsome man had already chased after their boss. However, the mount was quite fast, Lu Jiu thought it must have been equipped with gems.

When the others saw that Lu Jiu was left alone, they also ran away without turning their head.

Shen Jufeng came back after a while and said: “The speed is too fast, I can’t keep up with it.”

Lu Jiu said: “Anyway, it’s also a mount, but I have an ominous premonition…”

Shen Jufeng nodded, “Well, one day other people will discover the benefits of killing players.”

At that time, the pioneer players will be living targets. In such a world, who doesn’t want to live well, and completely snatching other people’s equipment and props was an evil shortcut?

Thinking of this, Lu Jiu was a little worried. She was not afraid of being attacked, but she was not happy to see this vicious cycle.
