Volume 7: War and Peace in an Abandoned Town Chapter 23: Boss Battle: Signs of Conflict - Li Lin (Part 2)
'Arrogant person'
The boss’s bright red name appeared above the head of the man kneeling and wailing.
The number one player, Li Lin, the White Knight, the strongest player, the undisputed strong man who opened the era, is now crying and wailing in this small town a week after he created the legend.
"Really hardcore, are all top players so miserable? They even framed people in the mission description..."
"It's really pitiful. But we are all players, and the top player is now half disabled, maybe he can steal the top player?"
"Anchor! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What are you waiting for? Steal it quickly!"
"Yes! This is the one to kill the gods! The one in front of you is the first player, what are you waiting for! "
"One cut and you will be rich and prosperous!"
“——!!!”
They are right!
Looking at the persuasion flooding the screen, the female anchor's eyes suddenly lit up, and as she looked at the panting figure, a touching thought flashed through her mind.
If he was killed right here, wouldn't that mean he would be the first player to be killed right here? And looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to be able to react. Compared to those messy quest rewards, the popularity of the live broadcast room was the most important, right?
So just kill him, kill him right here, even if it's only for a short time, it will gather explosive popularity. Everyone knows that this number one player is very high, but if he is killed, when others mention this guy, they will inevitably mention this death. This is the first time he died at the hands of a player, which is a big popularity explosion point.
You won’t die anyway, so why not give it a try?
"I'm sorry!"
It turns out that image is nothing compared to money!
"When it's time to cut it off, cut it off," the female anchor said as she drew out the hatchet with a grim look on her face and chopped it down on Li Lin's head without hesitation.
But under the moonlight, the light of the hatchet instantly reflected into Li Lin's pupils. As if time was interrupted, Li Lin instantly turned back and chopped down the huge blood knife with a wooden stick as the handle, which was more than two meters long. In an instant, the female anchor was split into two sections. Countless blood splashed down, and then evaporated into a ball of air in the blink of an eye.
"……resurrection?"
Ah, yes, this is the player.
Looking at the evaporating blood, the first man was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly realized as if he had just remembered it.
"Sorry, player number one."
I also want to make money.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the pitiful figure of the female anchor emerged from the street corner.
Her pretty face was full of grimness, her palms were exposed with veins as she held the wooden handle, and the image of Li Lin half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath, was reflected on the hatchet.
As the female anchor walked over cautiously, the monster wearing Li Lin's appearance was stunned. Instead of feeling threatened, he laughed softly.
"Hahaha, a bug tries to challenge a giant? Is this considered mocking me?"
The half-crippled monster laughed twice, then burst into laughter, collapsed on the ground, and stretched out his hands to applaud the female anchor.
Along with the applause, the blood involved danced and turned into two blood dragons that circled around the female anchor, strangling her in an instant without her even having time to scream.
But the female anchor in front of him was reduced to ashes, but then she was reborn on the street. From bones to internal organs, and then to muscles and skin, the female anchor walked out of the steaming mist and looked at Li Lin persistently.
“I’m an unpopular female anchor.”
As if she was talking to Li Lin, or to herself, the female anchor walked out of the resurrection point and once again aimed her murderous intent at the monster that was still lingering on.
"I tried hard to please the audience but to no avail. I wanted to live a good life, but God didn't give me this opportunity. I know I am stupid, short-sighted, and unskilled, but I did try hard. However, the gap between my intelligence and my background is really insurmountable. I can only rely on luck."
“…”
The monster slumped on the ground coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Countless blood mists instantly rose and evaporated along with the spurting blood, completely wrapping up the female player, and then disintegrated into powder.
But as the resurrection smoke rose again, the intact female anchor appeared in front of Li Lin again. The seemingly unchanged appearance made Li Lin frown.
“This shows the other side of the coin…”
Looking at the female anchor who was walking towards him holding a hatchet, the monster muttered in a low voice.
“I really envy you guys.”
The female anchor seemed to be in some inexplicable state. She shook her head and talked to herself, walking towards Li Lin with a hatchet in hand.
" You are carefree and don't need to make money. You just need to enjoy your life. But I still have to work hard here, sell my smile, and make my behavior reasonable. I am as humble as a beggar begging for food."
"I am performing every day, every day. I live with a mask on every day."
"But as long as I kill you, as long as I kill you, all this will make sense!!!"
"What does that have to do with me?"
The monster sneered and swung the red blade in his hand.
The black wood turned over, and the dark red blood with a hazy light drew a long blood line, instantly cutting the female anchor in half again.
But after a while, a little longer than the last time, the resurrection mist returned , and the female anchor, enduring the pain of being cut in half, stood in front of the monster, her face pale but determined.
"My resurrection point is nearby, and it has a speed-up status during the mission. You are already on the verge of death, and there is no time to destroy the resurrection point. Killing me can only extend my time. And you are just an AI simulation now, so there is no need to take the killing of a small character like me to heart, right?"
"…If a fly insect negotiates with you to suck your blood, what would you do?"
After taking a look at the female anchor, the monster laughed and clicked on it casually.
The red light flashed again, cutting off the female anchor's head and turning it into a cloud of steaming smoke.
The resurrection mist gathered slower and slower, and this time it took nearly a minute to condense into a human shape. The female anchor covered her head and looked at the monster sitting on the ground in disbelief.
When the monster saw the female anchor who had appeared countless times, he opened his mouth and coughed up blood. He covered his head with one hand, pointed at the miserable appearance of the female anchor with the other hand and laughed, as if he was deliberately waiting for her to resurrect. Only then did he say the second half of the sentence.
"Of course I'll shoot her to death! Want to kill me? Want to make money? Feel free to try, player! But by the way, the effect of the hormone will soon wear off. And the other me isn't as easy to talk to as the current me. Hurry up and see if you can accomplish this miracle... Hahahaha! As expected, fighting and blood are the most interesting things!"
The hand that was covering the cheek was lowered, and only a hole was left of one of the eyeballs. The monster laughed madly, and the blood around it kept trembling.
