Night fell.
Zhang Qing logged off to eat.
After hurriedly spending more than ten minutes setting tomorrow's meals on a timer, he logged back in.
Sleep?
He could just sleep in the game. If something happened at night while his "corpse" lay there motionless, he would be in serious trouble.
The next morning.
After logging off to eat and preparing lunch.
He logged in!
Chuan Fa took Zhang Qing to Razor Hall, which belonged to the City Lord Mansion.
"Zhang Qing, once you're in Razor, don't concern yourself with too much. Vote when it's time to vote."
Chuan Fa reminded him, "Most importantly, don't rush to the front in anything. Avoid what you can."
"Above all, staying alive is what matters."
Zhang Qing nodded with a face full of gratitude.
Chuan Fa did not have any particular affection for Zhang Qing.
At first, he had merely thought Zhang Qing could make a good thug.
Now, he felt that if Zhang Qing could survive in Razor, he would become a steady source of name-substitution money.
That was why he could not help saying a few more words.
How could Zhang Qing not understand the reasoning behind it?
He merely pretended to be grateful.
Very soon.
The members of Razor Squad came out.
They were basically organized into teams of five.
One team, made up of different races, walked straight toward Zhang Qing.
Bao Lie; 143/143!
Yun Qing; 175/175!
Pusan; 264/264!
Heishan; 254/254!
Guan Yutian; 475/475!
This was the makeup of a Razor Squad.
The two Glimmering Realm First Rank members were both Ratfolk. Of the two Glimmering Realm Second Rank members, one was Rabbitfolk and one was Pigmen. The captain leading them was a Ratfolk at Glimmering Realm Fourth Rank.
Or perhaps Zhang Qing was lucky.
The captain leading a team could also be only Glimmering Realm Third Rank.
A Fourth Rank captain obviously gave the team better odds of survival.
"You're the person the Chuan Family sent over today?" Guan Yutian frowned as he looked at Zhang Qing.
The Chuan Family was getting more and more perfunctory. They had sent someone who was not even in the Glimmering Realm.
Whatever.
He was just a target meant to lure Specters anyway.
"Greetings, Captain. My name is Zhang Qing," Zhang Qing hurriedly said.
"Hehe, he's even human. Tsk, tsk, Specters love human flesh and blood most of all!" Heishan, the Pigmen at the side, laughed.
But after Guan Yutian shot him a glare, he did not dare say another word.
"Alright, let's go!"
Guan Yutian said.
Then he led the team out on patrol.
Zhang Qing followed within the group.
They patrolled Zi City.
Zi City still looked fairly prosperous.
There were many pedestrians on the streets, along with stalls and shops.
However.
When people saw a Razor team, they avoided them as though they had seen the plague.
Zhang Qing looked around.
And sure enough.
After looking for a while, he really spotted something.
Bei Yue; 15/15!
Fu Di; 25/25!
An Xuan; 1540/1540!
Ga Ge; 17/17!
Look at that.
Another Thousand Blood Ghoul.
Zhang Qing said nothing.
He did not dare say anything.
In Razor Squad, never try to show off.
In his previous life, someone had infiltrated Razor Squad and used their ability to see health bars to directly identify Specters.
Later.
In less than an hour, Razor had slaughtered him.
The reason was simple: he was too accurate.
Obviously, he had to be a Specter's spy, trying to infiltrate Razor and claim credit so he could rise through the ranks!
Expose yourself already!
Just like that, the guy's head had been chopped off...
Razor's reputation was foul for a reason!
After patrolling for nearly an hour.
Guan Yutian was visibly growing restless.
They had walked all this way, yet not encountered a single suspicious person?
How could that do?
He directly grabbed an unlucky passerby from the roadside.
It was a Monkeyfolk.
With a pointed mouth and sunken cheeks, he looked like no good person at all.
"I think this guy might be a Specter! What do you all think?"
Guan Yutian said.
Everyone put on thoughtful expressions, then nodded.
Zhang Qing took a look.
Bie Fu; 27/27!
Well, they were about to start making trouble again.
"My lords, my lords, I'm not a Specter!"
Bie Fu immediately dropped to his knees and repeatedly kowtowed, begging for mercy.
But even if he cracked his monkey skull open, it would be useless.
Guan Yutian ignored him and immediately said, "Come, vote!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"I-I agree too!" Zhang Qing immediately raised his hand.
It was obvious they were just grabbing a scapegoat.
There was no need for him to oppose them.
Everyone gave Zhang Qing one last look.
Then they stepped back several paces.
"Zhang Qing, right? You do it!"
Guan Yutian said.
Zhang Qing knew what he meant.
He walked forward, drew his blade, and swung, chopping off the man's head.
Then he rapidly retreated.
Congratulations, you have killed Bie Fu. Your Health has increased by 27 points! Current Health; 84/84!
Very good. Twenty-seven Health points for free.
Sure enough, Razor Squad was the place Login Users needed to join.
"You fucking ran all the way behind me!" Guan Yutian watched for a while, saw that the headless corpse had not transformed, and immediately started lecturing Zhang Qing.
"Hehe..."
Of course Zhang Qing knew it would not transform.
But he could not let his persona fall apart, so he could only give an awkward laugh.
"Damn it, killed the wrong one!"
Guan Yutian said irritably. "The Silver Coins compensation for this man's family will come out of your pocket, Zhang Qing. You were the one who did it."
"Perfect. You don't need to collect today's field assignment allowance. We'll count it as compensation for him."
Zhang Qing smiled.
There was a Silver Coins allowance for field assignments.
But if he could actually get that money, there would be Specters.
As a captain, Guan Yutian would naturally find a way to pocket it all.
As for compensating this man...
Heh.
Who would dare ask Razor for money?
"Continue patrolling," Guan Yutian said. He stepped over the corpse and directly led the team away.
After they left.
Only then did some people cautiously emerge and point at the Razor team as they muttered among themselves.
This was normal.
Even if Razor teams killed ruthlessly, so what?
Outside the city, there were people everywhere.
Inside the city, there would never be a shortage of people!
There were countless Specters in the wilderness, while there was still some chance of survival within the city.
If Razor slaughtered you, it could only be said that your luck was bad.
After patrolling for another hour or so.
Razor Squad casually found a tea stall and sat down.
They began bragging and chatting nonsense.
The Minotaur stall owner was helpless and could only keep refilling their tea.
They sat there until midmorning.
Only then did Guan Yutian get up and take Zhang Qing back to Razor Hall for lunch.
This was one of the few benefits Zhang Qing could enjoy.
Razor Hall's food was famously good.
Many guards joined Razor Squad mainly for this meal.
Because the food carried traces of Spirit Medicine.
Zhang Qing ate with great satisfaction.
After he finished, the system immediately sounded.
Congratulations, you have gained Attribute Point +0.5!
No wonder.
Razor Squad was dangerous, but the rewards were not small either.
One meal could add 0.5 Attribute Points.
If he ate there for two days in a row, would that not add up to 1 point?
No wonder the early guides said that if you could get into Razor Squad, you had to find a way to keep your head down. So this was where the benefit lay!
Zhang Qing thought.
"But that's only in the early stages. Once your realm rises, meals made with Spirit Medicine won't feel like much of a boost anymore."
This was easy enough to understand.
Once they became powerful in the later stages, the improvement from such a small amount of Spirit Medicine would become negligible.
After they finished eating.
Captain Guan led the squad out again.
And amidst the boredom, they caught an unlucky fellow.
Zhang Qing took a look.
Tian Yuan; 1380/1380!
It had to be said.
Your technique really was remarkably accurate.
Now was the time to truly show off their skills.
