238: Chapter 238 I'm going to hide the plot!

On the rooftop of the skyscraper, the evening breeze was cool.

Through the cold scope, Arrow of the Moon clearly saw 'God King Ba Tian' move away from the window and walk toward the stairs.

He carried the divine spear burning with golden flames, his steps unhurried, even somewhat languid.

Her finger rested on the trigger, but she hesitated to pull it.

Something was wrong.

Ever since entering this damned script, everything felt strange.

Especially when holding the gun, there was a faint, almost imperceptible pulling sensation.

As if something was influencing her?

To assassinate that man?

Was it really just that simple?

If she took him out with one shot, it would be too easy, too crude.

"What are you hesitating for?" Oro asked quietly from the side.

On the tablet computer in his hand, he could see the situation in the mansion opposite; the intruder was rapidly approaching Chen You's position.

"I'm thinking," Arrow of the Moon's voice was cool.

"Don't you feel like something is off?"

Oro paused, then carefully examined Arrow of the Moon.

"Did you put your clothes on backward?"

Arrow of the Moon: "..."

...

Chen You walked down the spiral staircase, carrying the divine spear burning with golden flames.

The spear felt warm in his hand, with maximum special effects—it looked expensive at a glance.

Guns existed in the Source Realm too?

Assassination? He didn't take it to heart at all.

What he was thinking was...

If the script required him to act, it shouldn't conflict with the novice protection, right?

As soon as he reached the first-floor lobby, he saw the intruder.

Dressed in a tight black combat suit, his face covered by a mask, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

It was the assassin player with the ID Jue Ying.

Jue Ying locked onto Chen You the moment he saw him.

Seeing the magnificent divine spear in his hand, Jue Ying's body instantly tensed, like a leopard ready to spring.

Expert!

That was his first judgment.

At the same time, in Chen You's mind, the system prompt sounded again.

[Scene Summary: A lowly ant dares to face the divine majesty. The killing intent in his eyes is blasphemy against your supreme authority.]

[Dialogue Instruction: Please use a cold, emotionless tone to say to him—'Are you seeking death?']

[Action Instruction: Walk forward slowly, pointing the spear tip directly at the opponent's brow, releasing Monarch's might.]

Chen You: "..."

He felt like his cringe reaction was about to flare up.

He looked at the assassin brother in front of him, who was fully alert, and his mind started forming other ideas.

Although the system indicated that following the plot would yield higher rewards.

But... what if there was a hidden script?

Following the script exactly was too boring!

He tossed the divine spear he was holding onto the ground.

"Clang!"

A crisp metallic sound echoed on the marble floor.

Jue Ying was momentarily stunned by this action.

What was this move?

Chen You completely ignored the system's frantically flashing [Warning: Please follow the script] prompt and spoke on his own, his tone sincere, even carrying a hint of concern.

"Brother, the glass broke, did you get cut?"

Jue Ying: "?"

His brain froze for a second.

Was that something God King should say?

Could this be the prelude to some kind of mental attack skill?

Jue Ying's brain was working at full speed.

No! This must be a trap! He's trying to paralyze me!

He stared intensely at Chen You, rasped, and recited the lines assigned to him by the system:

"Ba Tian! Your tyrannical rule must end! Today, I, representing 'Dawn,' will end your legend!"

With that, his figure moved, turning into an afterimage, and the short blade in his hand stabbed directly at Chen You's heart!

Fast!

Ruthless!

Accurate!

As a 'top-tier' assassin, he had absolute confidence in his burst potential.

However, facing this fatal blow, Chen You performed an action that Jue Ying would never forget for the rest of his life.

He simply shifted his body slightly.

Just like that, a simple shift.

The angle wasn't even large, as if he was afraid of twisting his waist.

Jue Ying's dagger grazed the corner of his suit and missed.

A massive inertia caused him to stumble forward a few steps.

How could this be?!

A monstrous wave surged in Jue Ying's heart.

This was no longer a matter of reaction speed; this was prediction!

It seemed like Chen You already knew he would attack from this angle and in this manner!

Before he could regain his balance, he heard Chen You's leisurely voice coming from behind him.

"Brother, don't be so agitated, let's talk."

Talk?

Talk your head!

Jue Ying roared, turning around and launching another backstab.

This time, Chen You didn't even bother shifting his body; he casually raised one hand.

He accurately and precisely grabbed Jue Ying's wrist.

In that instant, Jue Ying felt his wrist locked down by a hydraulic clamp, unable to move.

"Damn it..." Jue Ying couldn't help but curse.

Chen You held his wrist, pulled him in front of him, and reached into his pocket with the other hand.

Jue Ying thought the other party was pulling out some world-destroying divine artifact.

To his surprise, Chen You pulled out a gold coin.

A shiny one, the universal currency of the Source Realm.

"Brother,"

Chen You held the gold coin in front of him and said earnestly,

"It's just an act, why are you risking your life?"

"How much experience do you get for assassinating me? How much money? Do you get the five insurances and one housing fund? Are there overtime subsidies?"

Jue Ying: "????"

He felt like his CPU was about to burn out.

What in the world was all this?

"See, you fight tooth and nail, but in the end, the system takes all the benefits."

Chen You's voice was full of confidence, "You need to broaden your horizons."

He released Jue Ying's wrist and patted his shoulder.

"How about this, I have an offer for you."

"...Huh?"

"I'll give you ten gold coins," Chen You held up one finger and shook it, "No, one hundred gold coins!"

"One hundred gold coins, and you become my bodyguard."

"Plus, the five insurances and one housing fund, we'll sign a labor contract directly."

Jue Ying was completely petrified.

He worked himself to death all year and only earned a little over ten gold coins!

You offer 100 gold coins just like that?

No, that's not right!

This must be the opponent's lines, all fake!

"I refuse!"

Jue Ying gritted his teeth, his figure flickered, turning into an afterimage, and the short blade in his hand stabbed directly at Chen You's heart.

However, his blade tip stopped advancing when it was still half a meter from Chen You's chest.

"What a pity."

Chen You sighed and flicked his wrist lightly.

Buzz—!

Jue Ying was thrown backward uncontrollably, slamming heavily against the wall.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out.

Instant kill!

Pure attribute crushing!

Jue Ying leaned against the wall, his eyes filled with horror.

He knew this 'God King' was strong, but he never expected him to be this strong.

"Alright, since you refused the offer, we'll have to follow procedure now," Chen You walked over step by step.

The cold system prompt sounded again.

[Action Instruction: Say the line—'Ant, this is the consequence of blaspheming divine might,' and then finish him.]

Chen You walked in front of Jue Ying and looked down at him.

He cleared his throat, gathered his emotions, and then spoke slowly in a magnetic, low voice:

"Ant, this is the consequence of not signing a labor contract!"

Jue Ying: "????"

Arrow of the Moon and Oro on the rooftop: "????"

[System Prompt: ...]
