Red Name PK Player with Precise Market Positioning

Guiji and Yasha, a pair of red-named PK players who put into action their core philosophy of "others hoard grain, we hoard guns."

Among the many new player groups, their favorite type to hunt were those whose newbie trial instance was Super Mario Brothers, and who had just passed their first official monthly trial.

The Mario newbie trial does such a good job of guiding players, so good that they can understand the basic rules of the Chosen Evolution Space without a guide, so good that players even develop certain misconceptions about the Chosen Evolution Space—

Believing that the dangers the Chosen Evolution Space presents to players are nothing more than this.

The biggest reason is Mario's excellent player guidance and instance planning, and the fact that it directly designed a trap in level 1-4 that can instantly kill the fake Bowser.

Although this method of clearing the level can greatly increase the survival rate of newbies, it also directly eliminates a proper BOSS drop chest, leaving players who pass the newbie trial with only mushroom coins, super mushrooms, and fire flowers, essentially trading a safe passage for improved strength.

As a result, the player's "hidden rating score," which only exists within the space's internal review mechanism, is at a low level.

If players who enter the low-score range are more cautious, or simply chicken out and run back to the real world to hide, without seizing the opportunity to improve themselves with bounty missions, then they will start their first official monthly trial with this low score.

At that point, whether they live or die is up to fate.

But if they are lucky enough to survive this monthly trial, then red-named PK players like Guiji and Yasha, who only dare to attack newbies, will appear, drawn by the scent.

Because the probability of such players having accumulated savings that they haven't had time to process is very high.

They don't know the market price of equipment and items, they don't know where to best spend their Heaven's Chosen Coins first, and they may even be picky about skills and equipment needs, leaving some unadded for the time being. They are still very weak and have little ability to resist.

Since they survived by luck, they naturally wouldn't be so naive anymore, and would reasonably come into contact with areas such as equipment trading, enhancement, and bounty missions.

And the duo of Guiji and Yasha would choose to stake out the player market and the mission hall separately, using free and enthusiastic guidance to newbies as a way to extract more information, identify their prey, and finally choose a suitable mission to complete the PK.

Once they've tasted the sweetness of this behavior, people like Guiji and Yasha can never go back, just like those who are addicted to gambling. After experiencing the intense stimulation of hundreds of thousands of dollars going up and down in a second, a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan can't even cause a ripple in their hearts.

Truly, killing and arson lead to a golden belt!

Under normal circumstances, Cheng Tian wouldn't fit their hunting target at all. There were too many possibilities for a freak who could crawl out of the newbie cesspool, and the variables were too great.

But as the saying goes, people die for wealth. The special stepping stone of the Knight Armor still led them to take action, and they even directly used the Guide Bugs, which have a limited lifespan, showing that they had already paid a considerable price before even seeing him.

After entering the instance, they were still praying, praying that Cheng Tian wouldn't die easily at the hands of NPCs or other players.

So when the Guide Bugs confirmed Cheng Tian's identity, their joy was overflowing.

When dealing with newbies, they usually beat them up without saying a word, using their strength to bring them as close to death as possible, and then use the fear of death to threaten them to hand over everything they have. If they don't obey, they kill them directly and draw a treasure chest.

Guiji and Yasha would never allow any prey to leave the instance alive.

However, at this moment, they were blinded by the Knight Armor. They didn't think about why Cheng Tian would be standing alone and openly in an empty alley.

The distance between the two sides quickly shortened, but when they saw the shield with an overly iconic paint job flashing in Cheng Tian's hand, the two of them, who were in the jumping movement phase, widened their eyes instantly.

Captain America's Shield!?

Isn't he a pure newbie from Demon Village? What sucker sold him this kind of thing!?

Or has he already found a player guild to join in such a short time, and it's a high-level guild that is rich and generous enough to give away this kind of main tank-level "protagonist equipment" casually?

...Damn it! Could it be that he exchanged it for the Knight Armor!?

Guiji and Yasha, who thought of the same possibility, couldn't help but look at each other, and saw the exact same worry and anger in each other's eyes.

Because this might mean that their initial investment was completely wasted, and even if they really killed Cheng Tian, they would have no chance with the Knight Armor.

Retreat directly and pretend nothing happened? Or continue to kill Cheng Tian and try to make up for their investment loss as much as possible?

However, Cheng Tian didn't give them any more chances to overthink. The arm muscles under the "Chimera" uniform instantly tensed, and the next second, the extremely aerodynamic shield flew towards the twin on the right!

With the Shield Master's 100% throwing speed increase and the blessing of a high 24 points of Strength, the distance of more than twenty meters was almost instantaneous... However, Guiji, who was chosen as the target by Cheng Tian, successfully dodged it with a hair's breadth limit by bending over backwards.

Guiji is a typical high-Agility build. Relying on her combat suit and other scattered equipment that matches her, her normal Agility attribute is above 22 points.

But as she was still maintaining her dodging backbend posture, she saw that the shield that she had dodged actually bounced back after hitting the wall, and it was heading straight for her face!

Shield Master! Double Ricochet!

At this moment, Guiji took a heavy kick to her waist, directly kicking her into a rolling gourd.

However, it was this heavy kick that made her so embarrassed that she successfully avoided the second ricochet of Captain America's Shield.

This kick was of course done by the other twin, the younger sister Yasha, a very excellent emergency avoidance maneuver... But the next second, her hand actually crossed over her own sister and reached directly for the Captain America's Shield embedded in the abandoned trash can next to her.

As long as she touched the shield, this unowned object that had been thrown out could be immediately stuffed into Yasha's inventory. Whether from a disarming perspective or from a harvesting perspective, the priority of collecting the shield was higher than helping her sister up.

Yasha's hand touched the unowned shield, but the inventory had no intention of executing the item collection at all. A small "You cannot forcibly plunder other players' equipment and items" appeared on the shield's surface.

...Soulbound!?

An incredible expression climbed onto Yasha's face again.

"Careful!"

Almost at the same time as Guiji, who had just gotten up from the ground, shouted a reminder, Cheng Tian had already arrived in an instant. The sharp horn on the Troll Head mercilessly pierced towards the twin Yasha, who was distracted by Captain America's Shield—

Blitz Charge!
