Shen Ling didn't leave immediately, but looked at Ling Yi with a face full of curiosity.
"Could you satisfy my curiosity? What methods did you use?"
"No!" Ling Yi shook his head.
Shen Ling was genuinely curious; those thin threads that could control people were just too bizarre, and didn't seem like a technological means at all.
If it's not due to technological means, is Ling Yi some kind of superpower from a novel?
But Shen Ling also knew that this was Ling Yi's secret and he couldn't possibly tell her.
Furthermore, for an assassin, developing curiosity about their target is the last thing that should happen.
"Although you possess incredibly skillful methods, never become complacent, and certainly don't underestimate other assassins," Shen Ling cautioned.
"Some assassins are capable of doing anything, no matter how ruthless, to complete their missions."
"I once encountered a silver-ranked assassin who blew up the entire building to kill his target."
Hearing Shen Ling's words, Ling Yi nodded. "Don't worry, I'll be careful!"
"Actually, with your skills, you're more suited to be an assassin!" Shen Ling said again at this moment.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up. Become an assassin? That sounds like an interesting idea.
Let's talk about that later!
After Shen Ling left, Ling Yi opened his system interface.
[Name: Ling Yi ]
[Occupation: Plant-Type Magic Mage ]
[Level: Apprentice Magic Apprentice Level 5 (500 Reputation Points are required to level up)]
[magic]
{1. Entanglement Technique Level 5: After casting, it directly Entanglement the target, rendering them unable to move. Cast range: 700m. Can be activated by chanting (can be upgraded by consuming 600 reputation).}
{2. Spirit Detection Technique Level 5: Perception- type skill. Current Perception range is 700m. Can be activated by silently chanting (can be upgraded by consuming 600 reputation points).}
{3. Wood Spirit Shield Level 3: A defensive skill that can block 40% of Physics and magical damage. Passive skill (can be upgraded by consuming 300 reputation).}
[Current Reputation: 6700]
"My reputation has increased by so much?" Liu Yi exclaimed in surprise.
The greater one's reputation, the more people know about them, and naturally, the more people know about their special abilities.
When Ling Yi decided to let the assassins go, he had actually already considered this outcome.
It wasn't that Ling Yi was merciful that he let these assassins go.
Ling Yi's main goal was still reputation.
Upgrading Magic Mage's level requires reputation, acquiring new spells requires reputation, and upgrading spell levels also requires reputation.
If you want to gain reputation quickly, you have to stir things up; trying to stay low-key and take a sneaky approach is simply impossible.
Of all these spells, the one most valuable to Ling Yi is this Wood Spirit Shield!
First, max out the level of the Wood Spirit Shield!
{3. Wood Spirit Shield Level 9: A defensive skill that can block 100% of Physics and magical damage. Passive magic (can be upgraded by consuming 900 reputation).}
What a sense of security!
100% resistance to Physics and magical attacks, wouldn't that make you invincible?
Just then, the system's ringtone sounded in Ling Yi's mind.
[Ding, the Wood Spirit Shield has reached its current level Limit. Please select an evolution branch.]
[Evolutionary Part 1: Shield of Thorns, Passive Magic, Effect Damage Reflection.]
[Evolutionary Second Phase: Shield of Truth, an active spell that provides a percentage-based reduction in true damage.]
Ling Yi's brows immediately furrowed into a deep frown.
What the heck is this "true damage" thing?
If it causes harm, then it causes harm; what's the point of talking about whether it's real or not?
Ling Yi is inclined towards the Shield of Thorns, which reflects damage—it sounds incredibly exciting!
You Wuyang when someone hits you, but the person who hits you will be injured by their own attack.
In the game, it's purely a stand-and-fight skill.
But Ling Yi instinctively felt that the Shield of Truth seemed to be more powerful.
"Can the system explain what true damage is?"
[Ding! True damage refers to damage caused by magic that Ignore defense.]
Ignore defenses?
For example?
[Ding, for example, damage from poison, shockwave, or soul-related attacks.]
After hearing this, Ling Yi understood.
Thinking about it, it's true. No matter how invincible your defense is, you're helpless if you get poisoned.
Choose the Shield of Truth.
[Ding! Wood Spirit Shield has successfully Hua Wei Shield of Truth!]
{3. Shield of Truth Level 1: Defensive skill, can block 100% of Physics and magical damage, Ignore 10% of true damage. Active skill (can be upgraded by consuming 1000 reputation).}
I still have over 3000 reputation points left.
This will upgrade Shield of Truth to level 3.
After closing the system panel, Ling Yi picked up his phone, opened the phone's dedicated browser, and entered a website address.
A 404 error message appeared on the page.
Anyone with even a basic understanding of Computer knows what a 404 error means.
However, the neighbor did not close the page but continued to wait.
The page will refresh automatically in 3 minutes.
I entered a website with a predominantly black background.
This is what's known as the Dark Web.
Ling Yi then entered a password at the login screen.
This is a Dark Web login password for an assassin.
In the task list, Ling Yi quickly found the task for himself.
Once you click on it, you can see the detailed task information.
[Task Target Information: Ling Yi, male, 32 years old, a waiter at Jiajia Supermarket in Baihai City.]
[Mission Objective: Kill the enemy and Destroy the red USB drive in their possession!]
[Mission Reward: Two hundred million US dollars.]
[Current number of users accepting the task: 15!]
At the very bottom is a photo of Ling Yi Ling Yi, showing him working at the supermarket.
I don't know who took the photo.
However, Ling Yi felt somewhat uncomfortable looking at it.
"Don't let Laozi find out who gave you this order," Ling Yi said coldly.
Just then, the task page refreshed.
The mission information has changed.
The task requirements have also changed; the additional condition of Destroy the USB drive is no longer required.
Only the condition of killing the enemy remains.
The reward for the mission has been increased to $1 billion.
The number of people who accepted the task increased to over 200 in just a few minutes, and it is still increasing rapidly.
"One billion US dollars! That's a really big spender!" Ling Yi clicked his tongue twice.
However, Ling Yi is not afraid at all now.
Ling Yi now possesses sufficient self-defense capabilities; he can take down any number of assassins who come his way.
"I just don't know if Transcendent powers exist in this world."
Although this world doesn't seem to be much different from the original Parallel World.
But ultimately, they are two different worlds.
Moreover, the original owner was just an ordinary person, and even if there were Transcendent powers in this world, she wouldn't be able to come into contact with them.
He stuffed his phone into his pocket, and then put 24 anonymous cards from the table into his pants pocket.
Then he turned around and left the rented room again.
This place is definitely uninhabitable, even though the Masai has already been cleared away by those assassins.
But Ling Yi still felt uncomfortable.
However, this time Ling Yi did not choose the same hotel as before.
A large number of police cars have been parked in front of the hotel.
It is clear that the bodies of the two assassins who were killed by Ling Yi, who were also Shen Ling's two companions, have been discovered.
This time, Ling Yi chose the Jiajia Hotel, which was diagonally opposite.
A lot happened today, and it really affected Ling Yi.
I was quite exhausted, both physically and mentally.
So after booking the room, Ling Yi Fall Asleep on Lying Down.
He slept until after 11 a. m. the next day.
If it weren't for the hunger, Ling Yi probably would have slept even longer.
I checked my phone and saw more than 20 missed calls.
The main perpetrators were two people: the supermarket owner and a middle-aged woman in her forties.
The other one is Ling Yi's colleague.
A girl who has just graduated from university.
Her name is Ye Mei. She is a girl with a pure and innocent appearance, but a rather timid personality.
Her relationship with Ling Yi was quite good.
He ignored the supermarket owner and instead sent a message to Ye Mei.
The gist of it is that I'm telling her I've resigned and asking her to pass on the message to my boss.
Why don't these Ling Yi speak for themselves?
There was nothing he could do; the boss was just too enthusiastic towards him, almost excessively so.
In Ye Mei's words, the boss was lusting after Ling Yi's body.
A moment later, Ling Yi's phone rang.
The caller was Ye Mei!
" Ling Yi, are you really going to resign?" Ye Mei's soft voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hmm, the world is so big, I want to go see it!" Ling Yi joked.
Are you planning to go on a trip?
"That's definitely the idea," Ling Yi nodded.
"I'm really envious."
Ye Mei's family is of average means and rather conservative. They are the kind of people who would stay in one place for life unless something unexpected happens.
She also loves to travel, but only in words. If you actually invite her to travel, she'll definitely refuse.
Of course, Ling Yi wouldn't invite Ye Mei on a trip.
Ling Yi will spend the next year in a sea of killing.
Ordinary people simply couldn't handle following him.
Just as Ling Yi was about to say something more and end the call...
A deafening explosion rang out almost right next to his ears.
Immediately following was a towering shockwave and terrifyingly high temperatures, which engulfed Ling Yi before he could react.
Then the ground shook, Ling Yi's body fell uncontrollably downwards. He was then hit by something and flew off at an angle.
It slammed hard against a wall.
The Earth Reincarnation; walls collapsed; and rooftops crumbled Shattering.
Ling Yi's head was buzzing.
When they came to their senses, all that was left was a mess.
And the surrounding cries, screams, chaos, and noise.
Ling Yi checked himself over and found that apart from being covered in dust and dirt, he was not injured.
"Damn bastard!" Ling Yi's heart was filled with murderous intent.
These killers, in their eagerness to kill themselves, completely Ignore the innocent lives around them.
Shen Ling had previously told him that some people would stop at nothing to complete their mission.
The next day, I encountered this Madman.
Within Ling Yi's Perception range, there were three red dots nearby.
One of the red dots was perched on the roof of a commercial building in the distance.
Judging from his posture, he's probably holding a sniper rifle!
The other two were in a van not far away.
Judging from their shapes and outlines, it is a man and a woman.
Ling Yi had no idea who planted the bomb among these three people, or who was so ruthless.
But it must be one of these three.
"Die, all of you!" Ling Yi roared!
