Tina was a very beautiful sixteen-year-old girl with an especially delicate face. Even compared to those surgically enhanced celebrities offline, she was no less stunning.
At that moment, Tina stood at the entrance to Baron Wilson's estate, holding a bill in her hand with a dejected expression.
A group of players had gathered on the street not far from her, quietly discussing something.
Su Yu walked over and introduced himself to Tina. "Hello, Miss Tina. I'm Kexing, an adventurer."
"Hello, Kexing. What do you need from me?" Tina turned to look at Su Yu, her beautiful large eyes blinking.
Tina's response immediately caused quite a stir among the watching players.
When these players had passed by and seen Tina holding a bill with a dejected look on her face, coupled with how beautiful she was, they had all guessed that she had a quest.
But no matter how they tried to strike up a conversation or fish for information, Tina ignored them completely.
That was why the players had reluctantly lingered nearby, discussing how to "win over" this beautiful girl.
Yet unexpectedly, Su Yu had merely introduced himself, and Tina had answered him!
The watching players were full of jealousy, and some were even so embarrassed that they angrily cursed:
"Pah! Pretty boy!"
"So what if you're handsome? Hope your son @%#＊"
"Don't you know first come, first served when doing quests? You filthy ＊＃%&"
Su Yu could not be bothered with them. With a backhanded cast of Chain Lightning, the four players who had cursed the loudest turned into white light and vanished from where they stood.
The remaining players stared in terror.
What had just happened? Why had those people suddenly disappeared?
Su Yu turned his gaze back to Tina. "Here's the thing. Your father, Old John, is very worried about you. He asked me to help you and hopes you can return home soon."
"Thank you for bringing me the message, Kexing." Tina forced out a smile. "But I can't leave. Baron Wilson owes our general store a huge debt. If I don't get that money back, we won't be able to pay the shop assistants' wages."
"Oh, so as long as we recover the debt, we can leave?" Su Yu asked calmly.
"Of course." Tina froze.
"Then all right. I'll help you collect the debt right now."
After saying that, Su Yu strode toward the estate gates.
But just then, the gates of the estate suddenly opened.
A butler dressed in a black butler's uniform walked out from inside.
Butler Charlemagne Lv. 6 HP: 80
Behind Butler Charlemagne followed five household guards, ranging from level 3 to level 5.
Charlemagne did not even glance at Su Yu. Instead, he looked eagerly at Tina.
"Miss Tina, my master asked me to ask you something. Would you be willing to become his mistress? If you agree, we'll repay all your outstanding debt in full!"
"Mistress?!" Tina was stunned. How could there be such a shameless condition in this world?
"No, I refuse!" Tina's face flushed red with anger. "You must return my money, otherwise—"
"Otherwise what?" Butler Charlemagne looked at Tina with an amused expression. "Besides, whether you become his mistress isn't up to you."
Butler Charlemagne looked at the five household guards behind him. "Go! Seize her!"
"Yes." The five household guards obeyed, grinning sinisterly as they lunged at Tina.
Once the master had had his fill of playing with her, he might even let them have a taste. When that time came, heh heh heh...
At the same time, Su Yu's quest updated.
"Ding! Your quest, Tina's Struggle, has been updated."
"Tina's Struggle 6/20."
"Quest requirement: Protect Tina from the pursuit of Charlemagne's thugs and safely escort her to the Warrior Guild, where she is to be handed over to the Warrior Overseer—Quinn."
"Quest reward: Fireball Scroll x1, EXP x400."
Seeing the quest description, Su Yu could roughly guess how the rest of the plot would unfold.
The following plot was probably this: Tina would flee to the Warrior Guild, then, with the help of Quinn, the Warrior Overseer, the two of them and the players would fight against and defeat the evil Baron Wilson together.
However, Su Yu had no intention of following the quest line.
No reason other than he was strong!
Seeing the five vicious household guards rushing toward her, Tina was terrified and hurriedly turned to run.
But at that moment, an electric arc as thick as a cobblestone burst from Su Yu's wand and bounced repeatedly among four of the guards.
-141 -116 -125 -131
Four of the five household guards had their health bars emptied and were struck into a Grievously Wounded, near-death state.
The remaining guard watched his companions collapse one after another. He stopped in place in terror, not knowing what to do.
Su Yu did not hold back. He casually fired a Lightning Arrow, and that guard also fell to the ground, twitching.
The butler was horrified by the sight and turned to flee into the estate.
But because he was running too frantically, he stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
Su Yu did not attack him. Instead, he said flatly, "Stop! I'll count down from three. Three, two—"
Before Su Yu could even finish starting the countdown, the butler stopped. He turned around and forced a smile onto his stiff face. "Mighty one, may I ask who you are—"
"You don't need to know who I am." Su Yu cut him off without ceremony. "Lead the way! Take me to see your baron. I want to settle this with him face-to-face!"
"Certainly, this way, please." The butler nervously made a welcoming gesture and walked ahead to lead the way.
Su Yu glanced back at Tina.
Tina was still standing there in a daze, apparently not yet recovered from watching him display his power.
So Su Yu walked over and took Tina's soft, boneless little hand. "Come on. I'll take you inside to settle the account. And regarding the baron forcing you to become his mistress just now, we'll settle that with him too!"
"Uh... all right."
With Su Yu holding her hand, Tina's pretty face reddened slightly.
But she did not resist and allowed Su Yu to lead her into the baron's estate.
At that moment, the other players watching outside the estate had completely erupted into chaos.
"Were those four players just instantly killed?"
"Probably."
"And they were instantly killed by an AoE skill!"
"Not just those four players, those NPCs were also instantly killed by him!"
"Looking at those NPCs' HP, weren't they at least as strong as monsters of the same level? They couldn't even take one hit?"
"An AoE skill that can instantly kill people? Is there any justice left in this world?"
"Did anyone record it?"
"Yes, I did. I was originally trying to record that beautiful girl NPC."
"Quick! Post it on the forums now."
"Oh, okay."
Before long, another post went viral on the forums.
The post was titled, "AoE Skill Spotted! Mysterious Player Rescues a Beauty, Uses AoE Skill to Instantly Kill Multiple Players and NPCs"
The comments below were filled with amazement. Everyone was marveling at Su Yu's terrifying Chain Lightning.
Within minutes, the post had accumulated over a hundred comments.
Some players also recognized Su Yu from his appearance. "Huh? Isn't that the expert from that 1v100 post earlier?"
"I went to check that post. It really is him!"
"Why is his BUFF still active?"
"Not only is his BUFF still active, he's mastered an AoE skill too?"
"That beautiful NPC girl is gorgeous! He's holding her hand... I'm so jealous!"
The forum users began discussing it fervently.
