Killing a "Player"

Drop!

[Side Quest: Reunite with Teammates]

[Mission Objective: The locations of several teammates have been marked on the minimap. After regrouping and combining your individual intelligence, what can you do?]

[Task Reward: 5 points]

"Teammate?"

The map appeared, and when I clicked on it, all I saw was a vast expanse of darkness.

But further away, there are several lit areas, each with a green dot in the center, which seem to be friendly units.

"As expected, I'm not the only one whose soul has been transmigrated."

With a clear objective, he was no longer confused. He said, "I'm going out for a bit," and headed outside.

"Be careful of bandits. The situation is getting more and more chaotic lately. I'm afraid you'll get into danger," her mother's voice came from behind.

"Knew."

After walking for a few minutes, he noticed another green dot approaching him.

The two quickly reunited.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a young girl dressed in ordinary linen clothes, with a somewhat rustic appearance.

Chapter 98 Killing the "Player"

"Hello, are you a member of the Dusk?" Li Yuan asked tentatively.

"Yes, yes, we've finally met! I just saw a group of bandits and almost got caught. It was terrifying!" The girl patted her chest, looking like she was still shaken.

"It seems this mission isn't as safe as I thought."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Li Yuan immediately felt the pressure.

Although this body is very strong, it is still just an ordinary person. This body of muscle is not as much as a player gains by simply leveling up 2 times.

This mission is different from the past. It wasn't specially designed by Ye Qian. Instead, people were sent in without her knowledge. Therefore, even she couldn't guarantee their safety.

"There are still two people approaching. Let's find a safe place to hide first." The girl glanced nervously at the distance and quickly ran behind an abandoned thatched hut.

The door to the room was wide open, and it was completely empty. Upon closer inspection, one could smell a strong, fishy stench.

"This smell... it's like something is rotting, maybe someone died here."

Li Yuan made his judgment based on the knowledge he had learned.

"Yeah, I feel the same way. Let's hide."

Soon the other two green dots approached.

They were both men and women, and both were ordinary people.

After introducing themselves, Li Yuan learned the names of the other three people.

The village girl's name was He Jinwei.

The other man was named Gao Cen, and the middle-aged woman was named Guan Meng.

Bite!

[Meeting complete, 5 points earned.]

Side Quest: Deal with bandits.

[Mission Objective: You've learned that bandits were recently at the scene. If possible, try to deal with them.]

[Task Reward: 200 points]

"Dealing with bandits? That's a side quest, right? Generally speaking, side quests aren't mandatory." Li Yuan was a little reluctant to do it.

"I suggest you do it. You need to become stronger as soon as possible so that you'll have the strength to deal with more dangerous missions in the future. Anyway, the exchange area is open now, and you can exchange for 5 points of Water of Purification. One sip can stop the pain for a while, so even if we get injured or die, it won't be unbearable for us, since this body isn't our own." Gao Cen offered his suggestion.

"Okay, that makes sense." Li Yuan agreed.

"Then let's start thinking about fighting the bandits. I remember there are a few weapons in my house, let's go pick them up and use them," Guan Meng suggested.

"Go and look for them."

"It's not safe where I am, I don't dare go back." He Jinwei could only shrug.

Everyone went back to their respective places, and then, about ten minutes later, they all returned here.

Just as they were discussing how to deal with the bandits, a red dot appeared on the map.

Looking in that direction, three men on horseback, dressed in simple leather armor, rushed towards them from a distance.

"Mountain bandits!"

"Everyone hide, prepare for a surprise attack."

After the three men entered the village, the leader jumped off his horse and kicked open the door of a house.

"Have you prepared the money we asked you to pay?"

A loud shout startled one of the babies inside, causing it to burst into tears.

The four members of the Dusk Team who were hiding in the back made a hand gesture to each other, and then rushed out at the same time.

If the two men who had their backs to them and hadn't entered noticed them, they quickly turned around, only to be met with a knife in their face.

"What?"

Puff--

The four men launched a sneak attack and struck hard, using their tetanus blades to slash their target's neck and body.

With one strike, he immediately drew his sword and struck again without saying a word.

The two men who were slashed screamed and tried to run away, but they had no chance against four attackers.

"What happened?"

The leader who entered the house was startled and ran out, only to find four fierce-looking men.

"You're asking for death! Who are you people?" He immediately brandished his weapon and started fighting with the four reckless lunatics.

Because everyone drank a mouthful of Water of Purification before the battle, they were not afraid of getting hurt or in pain.

In the fierce battle between the two sides, the huge difference in combat power became apparent. Fortunately, the opponent was not the kind of person who could take on a thousand men single-handedly. Faced with being surrounded by multiple people, he eventually died with resentment.

[Defeat bandit members, gain 20 points]

"Have you noticed that the rewards have increased?"

Previously, killing a single creature would only yield single-digit points, but this time it was 20 points.

In fact, Ye Qian changed the way she pumped water. At first, she pumped too much, eighty percent of it was her own. Now she changed the ratio, and she only needs ten percent.

Little by little, you accumulate wealth. After all, the faster your subordinates grow, the more efficient you are at killing monsters, and naturally, the higher your income will be.

This strategy is clearly feasible in order to create clones as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

Moreover, with a large number of members, resources can be allocated more rationally in the future. Some of the rewards for the less Dusk members can be given to those who are given priority for development. In the future, a bunch of Transcendent will be created, and the foundation will not be worse than the current major forces.

"We've dealt with the bandits, but we sense there are probably more in the distance. For our safety, let's leave here first."

"Good."

Without paying any attention to the few indigenous people inside the house, everyone fled the scene without saying a word.

Although I was injured this time, after drinking a sip of the Water of Purification in the bottle, my overall condition has recovered quite well.

Based on this, each bottle of medicine can support at least five or six battles.

After running a short distance, the group discovered another green dot ahead.

They exchanged a glance, then immediately moved closer and were surprised to find a girl with short black hair.

Wearing a simple uniform, she looked much prettier than the average girl.

"Who are you..."

"Are you also a member of the Dusk faction? I just received a mission that tells me to wait for you here." Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 smiled at the group.

"Ah, I see. I thought there were only 4 team members left." Li Yuan couldn't help but feel happy.

Adding one more person, even if it's just a girl, will make the subsequent battles easier than you might imagine.

But he also realized a problem at almost the same time.

"Did you come from the original body?"

"Yes, that's why I can't get hurt." Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 emphasized.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Then when the battle starts, try to stay behind us. The Dusk interface says that death in the soul realm will not affect your real body."

Although they didn't quite understand why someone could travel through time directly, everyone still provided basic care.

Li Yuan suspected this was a test of hidden points or something, such as teamwork. If they could protect their teammate, Dusk, well, there should be a reward.

It's a team task, after all.

And it's hard to guarantee that this girl isn't a seasoned pro.

"Have you received any intelligence?" Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 asked at this moment.

"Yes, I heard it from my family in this body. The Holy Church launched a holy war against heretics. Commoners and nobles in various places responded to the call and formed a powerful army to attack the enemy, but the battle was ultimately lost. At present, the Holy Church's front line has basically collapsed, and the enemy has advanced to a province not far from here." Guan Meng told her the specific information she knew.

"Hmm."

Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 did not expect to receive such important news so soon after making contact.

From this perspective, the world today is different from the previous two places, and it is very likely to face a large-scale war.

If possible, let the members of Dusk Possession one after another and join the front-line battlefield. Even if they die in large numbers, as long as the Life Energy gained is greater than the energy consumed, then it will be worthwhile.

Countless brushes with death will undoubtedly greatly enhance the soldiers' combat effectiveness.

So...

"In terms of intelligence value, if we can find out the enemy's true strength, I think the reward will be very high. Why don't we all think of a way to attack the heretics?"

"To directly wage war against the regular army of this world?"

Hearing the girl's words, everyone had some doubts.

Just then, Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6's expression changed slightly, and she looked towards the northwest with some surprise.

Where the Mystic Thread passed, they sensed another group of people who did not belong to their side, but were dressed in modern uniforms.

The moment she read the other person's thoughts, she understood what was going on.

Dungeon players!

Yes, those guys were actually gamers.

"Sent here by the system to carry out a mission?"

These guys didn't notice this place, and instead launched an attack on a group of bandits who were rushing over from a distance.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the expression on Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6's face, Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

The girl glanced over, her expression strange, and asked, "Have you received a mission?"

"What mission?"

Before the group could figure out what was happening, the mission information from Ye Qian had already been sent to them.

Side Quest: Kill the "Player"

[Mission Objective: Eliminate individuals from the "Player" faction; do not reveal any information related to your faction.]

[Mission Reward: 100-500 points for each kill.]
