96: False Alarm (3/4)

“I’m interested! Very interested!”

Netherworld Soul Chaser replied instantly, then continued his message: “My stealth ability is at the Legendary rank, and my thieving ability is above Legendary. Kuangtu, just tell me who you want me to steal from.”

“OK, you come to the back street of Luanxing City first. Once you’re here, I’ll make arrangements.”

Netherworld Soul Chaser: “I’m already in Luanxing City. I’ll take the teleportation array immediately.”

Luanxing City was too big; even walking within the city, if the distance was far, one had to take a teleportation array.

“I’ll wait for you.”

Li Si sent his coordinates.

Soon after, the teleportation array on Qingyun Abode’s street activated, and Netherworld Soul Chaser’s figure appeared. He began shouting from over 300 meters away: “Kuangtu, I’m here! Who are we going to steal from?”

“Don’t rush, let me give you some practice first. I’ll call out a Legendary Monarch NPC. You go invisible first, and when the Legendary Monarch NPC comes out, you can try it on him,” Li Si said with a smile.

It was better to be safe. He faced almost no penalty for dying. But Netherworld Soul Chaser was different; dying meant losing experience and items, so he decided to try it out first.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Li Si knocked hard on the door of Baiyun Abode.

A few meters away, Netherworld Soul Chaser quickly cast his skill, and his figure vanished from his original spot.

“Kid, you’re annoying.”

Zhou Guang, as usual, walked out of Baiyun Abode in his inner clothes, with a messy hair and scratching his butt.

“Lord Zhou, good evening,” Li Si greeted with a smile.

“Good evening my ass, is it evening now?”

Zhou Guang looked up at the moon, and the next moment, his brows suddenly furrowed: “You sly kid, I knew you weren’t up to any good. Let the two invisible little fellows come out.”

Invisible little fellows?

Two?

One was Netherworld Soul Chaser, but who was the other?

Li Si’s heart suddenly sank. He instantly realized he had been followed by an assassin. How long had the assassin been following him? What had the assassin learned about him?

Damn it! Disgusting!

Li Si cursed inwardly, then said: “Youming, come out.”

“Alright.”

Netherworld Soul Chaser’s figure slowly materialized.

Li Si sighed: Sure enough, it still didn’t work?

“What about the other little fellow? Not coming out?” Zhou Guang’s gaze swept towards the air a hundred meters away.

“I don’t know him.”

“He’s not your friend?”

Zhou Guang’s eyes instantly darkened several times. “Boom,” a brilliant white light descended from the sky, directly striking the air a hundred meters away.

-24,135,124!

The assassin player was instantly vaporized.

Over twenty-four million damage!?

Li Si almost cried out in surprise. Zhou Guang was definitely not a regular Legendary Monarch. One must know that the Sword-Wielding Bandit was also of this rank and held the Monarch title, yet he could only deal over nine million damage.

Although nine million damage was just a casual strike, was the brilliant white light just now not also a casual strike from Zhou Guang? The damage was more than twenty times that of the Sword-Wielding Bandit!

“If this over twenty-four million damage hit me, how refreshing would that be.”

Thinking this, Li Si’s eyes turned red. He had already farmed a lot of physical damage reduction from the Sword-Wielding Bandit, but he still had magical damage reduction to farm.

Netherworld Soul Chaser was trembling: Boss, what are you doing! Over twenty-four million damage in one hit, I’m going to die.

“Young man, don’t be afraid. You are his friend, I won’t do anything to you.” Zhou Guang patted Netherworld Soul Chaser’s shoulder.

“Thank you for your generosity, Lord Zhou.” Netherworld Soul Chaser breathed a sigh of relief, sighing inwardly: The boss’s influence is indeed incredible.

“Tell me, what do you want from me this time? And you even brought a little thief.”

Zhou Guang looked at Li Si unhappily. In reality, he was quite annoyed. If he didn’t think Li Si had some background and might be a chosen one, he would never treat him so kindly…

“Do you know the Sword-Wielding Bandit?”

“I know him. He’s a rising star in the Lawless Lands, who entered the Dao through the sword, with exceptional talent.”

“Do you think he…” Li Si pointed at Netherworld Soul Chaser: “Can steal the Sword-Wielding Bandit’s diary?”

Zhou Guang pondered for a moment and said: “This kid’s talent is good, and it greatly enhances the thief. He can evade the Sword-Wielding Bandit.”

Zhou Guang could actually see a player’s talent?

Li Si’s heart pounded.

Then, he looked at Netherworld Soul Chaser: “You go to Moonfall Town first, and rush to the Wind-Sand Stone Forest as fast as possible. I’ll be there in half an hour.”

Li Si roughly calculated that with Netherworld Soul Chaser’s speed, half an hour should be enough to reach near the Great Bandit Camp.

As for this half an hour, he had important things to do.

“Alright!”

Netherworld Soul Chaser stepped into the teleportation array 300 meters away, and his figure vanished.

“You’re not leaving?”

Zhou Guang stared at Li Si with some impatience.

“Lord Zhou, will you send me off?”

“How do I send you off? A spatial array? I don’t know how.” Zhou Guang said, shaking his head.

“Use your magic to blast me into dust.”

“……” Zhou Guang suddenly widened his eyes. Is this kid sick?

“Can’t you see my talent?” From his previous words, Zhou Guang clearly knew Netherworld Soul Chaser’s talent.

“Who told you I could see a player’s talent?”

“Just now you said Netherworld Soul Chaser’s talent was good.”

“Do you understand ‘visual assessment’? I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice, can’t I visually assess? A player’s initial talent, unless they reveal it themselves, no one can peek at it.”

“Understood.” Li Si’s mood instantly brightened.

It was good that initial talents couldn’t be spied on. A false alarm.

He didn’t want to expose his Limiter.

“Still not leaving?”

“You send me off, with magic.” Li Si said with a beaming smile.

“You kid, you’re crazy.”

Zhou Guang waved his hand unhappily, “Boom,” a brilliant white light descended from the sky.

[Ding!]

[You have died.]

[Heaven Rewards Diligence, attributes improved.]

A few seconds later, Li Si’s figure reappeared: “Lord Zhou, I accidentally teleported to the wrong place. Could you send me off again?”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

More than ten minutes later, Zhou Guang was completely speechless and raised his hand to cast a pure white light curtain, enveloping Baiyun Abode.

“Lord Zhou, come out.”

“Lord Zhou? Open the door.”

No matter what Li Si said, Zhou Guang remained unresponsive, like a sleeping millennium turtle, hiding in Baiyun Abode and playing dead.

“That’s enough. I’ll go farm with Alisa for a while.”

Although not as powerful as Zhou Guang, Alisa was still a Level 90 Legendary Monarch, and dealing several million damage with a casual strike was no problem for her.

Time passed, and Li Si’s attribute panel was completely refreshed.

“Haha—”

Li Si burst out laughing in the Tianzi Number One hall.

Farming the Limiter—So satisfying!

At this moment, Netherworld Soul Chaser sent a message: “Kuangtu, I’ve already reached near the Qingzhou Thirteen Bandits’ camp.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll be there soon.”

Li Si replied to the message, and his figure vanished from his original spot.

Luanxing City Noble Back Street.

Fengyun Heavy Cavalry strode out of the teleportation array and headed straight for Zhou Guang’s Baiyun Abode.

After hearing the intelligence in the middle of the night, he logged online in a hurry without even changing his clothes. It was all for the super NPC mentioned by the assassin player, a terrifying boss who could deal over 20 million damage with a casual strike!

“Senior Zhou, your junior Fengyun Heavy Cavalry respectfully requests an audience.”

“Senior Zhou, your junior Fengyun Heavy Cavalry respectfully requests an audience.”

“Senior Zhou, your junior Fengyun Heavy Cavalry respectfully requests an audience.”

He shouted three times in a row, but no one answered. Fengyun Heavy Cavalry frowned and looked at the pure white barrier.

“Does this barrier also have the effect of blocking sound? Or is Senior Zhou deliberately hiding from me?”

With a “thud.”

Fengyun Heavy Cavalry knelt before the gate of Baiyun Abode. Whether Senior Zhou couldn’t hear his voice or was deliberately hiding, he would remain kneeling there, showing Senior Zhou his respect and perseverance.

Tomorrow morning, when the vermilion gate opened, that would be his chance.

“Damn it, I’ll risk it!”

Fengyun Heavy Cavalry decided to try. At worst, he would kneel for a few hours, and if he gained nothing, it was his bad luck. If he did gain something, it would be a great opportunity to change his fate.
