Qingqing, standing nearby, was stunned by the sight. Before she could react, Ji Xinghe shoved her toward the other side of the desk.

Then she grabbed a chair and swung it hard at the two of them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two were terrified by Ji Xinghe's sudden frenzy and cowered as they crawled toward the corner.

Big Belly especially was trembling as he pulled Qingqing in front of him and wiped the blood from his forehead. "What's wrong with you? Get away, or I'll call the police!"

Hearing this, Ji Xinghe hurried over, snatched their phones, and smashed them to pieces.

Then came a series of bangs, and blood splattered across the office.

Without a word, Ji Xinghe found their sex toys in the corner of the sofa and locked one hand of each of them together.

Then she stripped off their clothes, looped one around each of their necks, tied them up, and yanked hard.

Watching the two of them stop struggling and go completely still, Ji Xinghe felt not the slightest stir of emotion.

When you planned my car accident in my previous life, when you hunted me down and put a bounty on me in a co-op Dungeon, did you ever imagine you'd end up in my hands?

She struck them several more times, and only stopped once she was sure they were dead.

The place was a complete mess, but the whole world would be transported in just over two hours. She didn't need to waste precious time cleaning up this filth.

She hurried to the washroom to clean herself up, then straightened her back and returned to her workstation.

The fishing tab had lit up again. She tapped the screen and selected "Reel In."

The next moment, a strange, glugging sound came from her phone.

As soon as she heard it, her heart began to race. For some reason, the sound made her nervous.

The little character in the game was still straining to reel in the line. Seeing this, Ji Xinghe seemed to understand.

Treasure chests in the Survival World were usually easy to reel in. If it was difficult to reel in... then it could only mean a monster had taken the bait!

She immediately sat up straight and cupped her phone in both hands. She had never fought a monster in the game before.

The monster still hadn't surfaced, so she quickly wiped the sweat from her thumb with her sleeve.

Just then, the Fishing Rod rose, hauling up a sea monster several times bigger than the little character. It fell onto the island, nearly filling it completely.

Ji Xinghe stared at the crimson sea monster thrashing on the screen, cold sweat pouring down her back.

What the hell? This was a monster from the beginner phase?

Even through the screen, she could almost smell its fishy stench.

She controlled the little character to pick up the Wooden Stick and approach the monster.

As long as she dealt damage to it, even just a little, she could see its exact stats.

The little character swung the Wooden Stick and hit it.

Ji Xinghe saw a red number pop up above the monster: -17

[First-Order Crimson Red Fish Beast (Level 6)

Remaining HP: 283

Attack: 30

Defense: 5]

"Phew..." Seeing the monster's stats, Ji Xinghe's shoulders relaxed.

Good thing it wasn't a Crimson Red Fish Beast at its peak.

She remembered encountering one before in a Dungeon. Back then, the Crimson Red Fish Beast had been terrifying.

Its stats had been ten times higher than what she saw now. On top of that, it had a Burst Skill, which had given Ji Xinghe a hard time when she'd tackled the Dungeon.

She'd barely managed to take it down after turning most of the supplies in her backpack into Burst Potions...

As she controlled the little character to dodge its tail, Ji Xinghe calculated how to take it down.

The little character couldn't die. Otherwise, she'd have to wait an hour for it to revive. This was the golden period; she couldn't waste a single second.

The little character only had 100 HP, so it could take at most three hits from the monster.

The Crimson Red Fish Beast had 300 HP, and each of the little character's attacks dealt 17 damage. It would need to hit the monster 17 more times to take it down.

With that thought, Ji Xinghe tapped the screen rapidly with both thumbs.

Just 17 hits. If my fingers are fast enough, you can't catch me.

The little character in the game attacked while retreating.

Her strategy was simple: "When the enemy advances, I retreat. When the enemy retreats, I advance. When the enemy tires, I attack."

They were old foes, after all. The moment Ji Xinghe saw its tail tense, she knew it was about to attack.

Retreat!

Then, during the pause after its attack, she quickly moved into its blind spot and smacked it again.

[HP -17!]

The enraged Crimson Red Fish Beast's black tentacle horn turned red in an instant.

It swung its massive black-and-red tail in a sweep. She made the little character jump, hit it with the stick, then retreat diagonally.

Under her control, the little character darted nimbly around the narrow patch of open ground.

In less than three minutes, the monster was down.

[First-Order Crimson Red Fish Beast slain. Experience Points +5, Wow Coins +1, Raw Wood Treasure Chest +1. Stored in backpack.]

The Crimson Red Fish Beast was huge, so it was easy to hit. If she hadn't been worried about the little character dying, Ji Xinghe could have taken it down even faster.

The only thing she wasn't happy about was that the little character had gotten injured too...

Ji Xinghe didn't know if her injuries would carry over as well. For now, she could only open the treasure chest and see if it contained an HP Recovery Potion.

Just as she was about to open her backpack, a line of text appeared on the screen.

[Congratulations, Player 001, on achieving the first regional kill of a First-Order Monster! Rewards: 1 Achievement Point, 1 Raffle Ticket, 1 Free Attribute Point.]

After claiming the rewards, Ji Xinghe hesitated between putting the point into Constitution or Spirit...
