77: Chapter 74 Xiao Jie’s Plan to Eradicate Evil

77 -74 Xiao Jie’s Plan to Eradicate Evil

Xiao Jie’s mind was racing at this moment.

It seemed that Ximen Wuhen was dead set on targeting them, the new players.

If you are so eager to seek death, then there is nothing more to be said.

Xiao Jie indeed harbored the intent to kill, mainly because being so apprehensive and not daring to leave the village was disgustingly frustrating.

He had vengeance to pursue, and this little piece of trash at Level 14, bombing around Newbie Village, had to die.

It would be an added bonus to earn a bounty along the way.

Why not do it?

However, despise the enemy in terms of strategy, but pay them respect in terms of tactics.

The enemy still had advantages such as level and profession.

To figure out how to kill him, a meticulous plan would be necessary.

Wang Kai was determined not to leave the village, so he could not be counted on.

Right now it was only him, I Want to Be Immortal, Ye Luo, oh right, and Dongfang Sheng.

But that kid was only Level 1, completely useless.

As for Sanbing, it would be good enough if he didn’t betray them.

In fact, Xiao Jie still had little trust in Sanbing.

Who knew what kind of stupid things this guy could do.

What if he was a double agent sent by Ximen Wuhen?

But this person could indeed be used.

Originally, it would be difficult for just the three of them to kill Ximen Wuhen.

The main issue was the element of surprise—the enemy was hiding in the shadows while they were in plain sight, and the enemy could very well have some sort of scouting ability; otherwise, it made no sense that they could so easily block players trying to leave the village.

This would mean the enemy might easily gain the upper hand in a surprise encounter, and anyone experienced in group combat knows that once you’re caught off-guard, you’re at a significant disadvantage.

However, the arrival of Sanbing proved to be an opportunity.

Whether Ximen Wuhen planned to ambush or expect an ambush, one thing was certain: he would appear at that place at that time.

This became a critical factor in resolving the situation.

As for the issue of who struck first, given the high degree of freedom in the game, it’s not like he had no room to maneuver…

Thinking up to this point, a slight smile appeared on Xiao Jie’s lips.

The plan was set, Ximen Wuhen—you can die now.

He looked at Sanbing and suddenly smiled, “I can’t give you one hundred thousand yuan right now, but log on tomorrow morning at half-past eight.

I have a task for you, and if you do it well, you’ll definitely get your hundred thousand yuan afterwards.”

“You’re not going to cheat me, are you?”

“Even if I cheat you, there’s no danger for you.

Why not give it a try?”

Sanbing thought that made sense and replied, “Okay, let’s agree on that then.

I’m going offline now.”

After Sanbing disappeared from the spot, Wang Kai hesitated and asked, “Are you really going to take on Ximen Wuhen?”

“Yes, I’m taking that two million yuan bounty.”

“Brother, I know two million is not a small sum, but is it worth putting your life on the line for this money?”

“It’s not just for the money, it’s for our own safety too.

There’s no such thing as a thief being on guard every day.

Should we just not leave the village because Ximen Wuhen doesn’t?

Besides, who knows when he’s going to leave.

And as for this trash that kills low-level players in the Newbie Village, they’re not worth mourning.

If he hadn’t provoked me, I would have let it be.

But since he’s asking for it, I’ll grant his wish.”

Wang Kai thought to himself, is he that confident?

He’s an old hand at this, even though he’s never left the village.

He was quite aware of the comings and goings of players and the feuds between them.

Two players at Level 6 taking on a Level 14?

The level difference was too much; it was impossible to win.

However, I Want to Be Immortal was boiling with excitement, “Feng is right.

I’ve been annoyed by that kid for a while.

Let’s kill him together!

Just tell us what to do, Feng.”

“Heh, just the two of us won’t be enough.

Get ready first, I’ll contact Ye Luo tonight.”

“But Sister Ye Luo isn’t willing to team up, is she?”

Xiao Jie nodded, “That’s true, but I feel that she’s not as indifferent as she seems on the surface.

As long as we have a proper talk with her, I think we can persuade her.”

——————

The sky gradually darkened, and as the few players in the village logged off one after another, Ginkgo Village returned to tranquility.

Xiao Jie sat in the hall, waiting for Ye Luo to log on.

Around six o’clock, as expected, the figure of Ye Luo materialized out of nowhere in the hall.

Ye Luo was surprised to see Xiao Jie, “Huh, what are you doing here?

Reading again?”

“No, I’m specifically here waiting for you.

I need your help with something,” he said, showing Ye Luo the peculiar Stone Seal.

“Do you know what this is?”

Ye Luo looked surprised, “You’re lucky to get this thing.”

“Is it very valuable?”

“Not extremely valuable, but still worth some money, especially surprising to get it in Newbie Village.”

“So what exactly is it?”

“This is a spirit stone seal.

In this game, there are many Ancient Secrets, Ancient Tombs, and Ancient Seals left by Qi Refiners of the past, all requiring specific keys to unlock.

This so-called key is the spirit stone seal.

It acts like a master key, can open any door, but once used, it’s gone.

Moreover, some doors need several spirit stone seals to open, so it’s actually a consumable.

The drop rate for this item is still very low in the game, and since it’s heavily used, it’s practically priceless.

Opening an Ancient Secret can potentially yield a huge profit.

Of course, the risks are also higher, but that’s the adventure of playing this game.

Many high-level players want them, but few are selling.

It’s considered a type of high-level currency.

A dozen or so can be exchanged for top-quality weapons or top skill books, even professional items for a magic profession.”

So that’s how it is.

Xiao Jie thought it really was a valuable item—a hard currency, indeed, if only he had more than one.

Seeing Ye Luo about to go out leveling, Xiao Jie casually mentioned, “We’re preparing to kill Ximen Wuhen.

Are you interested in teaming up?”

Ye Luo was taken aback, she wasn’t out in the village during the day much, but she’d log on occasionally to do some quests, so of course, she knew about Ximen Wuhen, “Just the two of you?

That sounds like a death wish.”

“Counting you, that makes three.”

“Three isn’t enough either.”

“Can’t beat him?”

Ye Luo shook her head, “It’s possible we can’t beat him.

In this game, Level 10 is a threshold.

Once you have a profession, you gain a core skill and profession-specific skills, which significantly enhance your own strength.

So, although it’s only a difference of five levels, the actual gap is much bigger.

The Ranger’s core skill is ‘Jianghu Craftsmanship’, which allows the use of materials to craft various combat items.

While they’re not as good in direct combat as professions like Swordman, Swordsman, or General, they can take better advantage of environments like forests.

So, even if the three of us teamed up, it’s still possible we’d get wiped out.

I’m not afraid of him, I just don’t think it’s necessary to take the risk.”

Xiao Jie thought to himself that as long as Ye Luo wasn’t scared, it was fine since he wouldn’t know what to do if she chickened out.

It seemed she just didn’t want to take the risk.

So, the next step was to find a way to convince her.

“Two million, ‘I Don’t Eat Beef’ offered a reward of two million. novelbuddy.cσ๓

If the three of us split it, that’s over six hundred thousand each.

That’s not a small sum.”

“Heh, I’ve said it before, I don’t lack money.

I advise you not to be reckless, either.

Just stay in the village for a while.

If the hyena can’t catch its prey, it will leave sooner or later.

Why take the risk?

If you want to go to the State Mansion, wait until I reach Level 15, I’ll take you.”

“No need for that.

If you really don’t want to get involved, then the money will just have to be split between ‘I Want to Be Immortal’ and me.”

“You’re not serious, are you?”

Serious my ass, Xiao Jie thought to himself.

He wasn’t stupid, but he still spoke indifferently yet confidently.

“Of course I’m serious.

Although our levels are low, we can compensate with our skills.

And besides, we have a dog.

Four against one, the advantage is ours.

As long as we execute well, we can still win.

Moreover, I have a perfect plan to deal with him.

With you, it’s almost a guaranteed win.

Without you, I still have confidence, about a sixty to seventy percent chance.”

Ye Luo was somewhat incredulous but didn’t say anything, instead she asked, “Why do you guys have to go after Ximen Wuhen?”

“Why not?

There are all kinds of people in the game, and people like him are never in short supply.

We’ll definitely run into this sort of thing again in the future, and we can’t always be running away.

Plus, this bastard is clearly here to pick on newbies in Newbie Village.

If we don’t take care of him, we’ll never feel at ease doing anything else.

And there will definitely be more newbies who get killed by him in the future.

A man should have his do’s and don’ts.

It wouldn’t matter if we hadn’t encountered such evil, but since we have, and it has stirred up with me, there’s no way I can allow him to continue his rampage.

We must eliminate this scourge.”

Xiao Jie spoke passionately, but he was watching Ye Luo’s reaction closely.

“I didn’t see it before, but you do have a sense of chivalry, don’t you?” Ye Luo teased, and then sighed, “But you’re seeking death here.”

“Seeking death?

Heh, I’m not someone who seeks death.

Although there seems a considerable gap in levels, I wouldn’t make a move if I weren’t absolutely sure.

Based on my analysis, the enemy has three weaknesses, and I have three strengths.

That’s why I dare to make a move.”

“Oh, let’s hear it.”

“Ximen Wuhen came to Newbie Village to pick on weak players, which clearly shows he can’t make it outside.

Evidently, he’s not a skilled player.

That’s his first weakness.

While I wouldn’t say I’m a game genius, I’ve been a professional player for more than a decade.

When it comes to operations, I definitely have an edge over most people.

This game is an action game, where personal skills greatly impact combat outcomes.

That’s my first strength.

Ximen Wuhen hides alone in the forest, isolated and with limited supplies.

That’s his second weakness.

But I can gather comrades in the village, prepare thoroughly, and fight side by side.

That’s my second strength.

Ximen Wuhen wants Sanbing to lure us into a trap, but he doesn’t know that Sanbing has turned against him.

Now we have the intelligence on him.

That’s his third weakness.

With Sanbing’s positioning and my plan, I can turn passivity into initiative and seize the first move.

I think the advantage of having the first move is self-explanatory.

That’s my third strength.

With these three weaknesses and three strengths, even if his level is a bit higher, his defeat is certain.”

Clap—Clap—Clap!

A series of clapping sounds came from across the microphone.

“You should go into motivational speaking, you know that?

Your words are really damn convincing,” Ye Luo said with a hint of sarcasm.

Xiao Jie remained unaffected, “So what do you think?”

“Have you ever considered that Sanbing might be a double agent?”

“Of course I’ve considered that possibility.

But it doesn’t matter.

Whether he’s setting an ambush or it’s a double bluff, I have a way to find out his position first.

If you don’t believe me, you’ll see if you come with me tomorrow.”

Ye Luo was silent for a moment, “I’ll think about it, but I probably won’t go.”

“I think you will come.”

“Oh, so confident?

I don’t even know if I’ll go.”

“Because you have no reason not to go.

You might say you don’t like to take risks, but isn’t playing this game in itself a risk?

I’ve seen how you kill Night Ghosts, you are not the cautious type.

Now, not only can you eliminate a potential threat but also make a fortune.

On top of that, you can help the future newbies by getting rid of a scourge in Newbie Village.

Plus, you get to loot his equipment.

Eliminating him also cuts down many risks for leveling up and questing later on.

With so many benefits, I think you’ll definitely come.

Most importantly, I can tell—you’re a good person.

Maybe you come across as cold, but deep down, you’re not someone who turns a blind eye to evil deeds.”

“Cut it out, don’t think a few nice words will make me change my mind.

You’re still too green to manipulate me,” Ye Luo retorted.

“Hahaha, you caught me there.

Alright, I won’t say much more.

I’m going to log off now.

Let’s meet at the village entrance at nine tomorrow.

Oh right, although we haven’t known each other for long, I think we can be considered friends by now.

Just in case this is the last time we meet—remember my name, I’m Xiao Jie.

So, see you later, friend.”

Xiao Jie’s figure vanished on the spot.

Ye Luo looked at the empty hall, but stayed still, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long while, she suddenly cursed, “Damn!”

As if she had made up her mind, she dashed into the darkness outside.
