"The Protoss are really rich. I wish I could find Zero."
Frenzied Sword saw the post from the Gods Guild, glanced at the bounty amount, and looked regretful.
However, Frenzied Sword were not envious of the opportunities offered by the major guilds. He looked at Han Xiao beside him with burning desire in his eyes.
"As long as I stick close to this powerful figure, I'll level up faster than anyone else."
At first, although he physically obeyed Han Xiao's mission, he was psychologically resistant. But gradually, he found the mission quite interesting. As long as he abandoned his principles, it was much simpler than fighting monsters or running quests. It was both simple and fun, and he gradually became addicted to it.
Frenzied Sword felt his thoughts had been elevated, and he had a vague sense of enlightenment.
Shame is a genetic lock that hinders human development!
Abnormal? No, no, no, they were simply great pioneers beyond the comprehension of ordinary people! Martyrs who transcended worldly conventions!
Lü Qian's expression was strange. She pointed at Frenzied Sword, who was sitting by the door staring intently at Han Xiao, and asked, "Is he pursuing you?"
Han Xiao: "..."
"He seems very sincere, why don't you just go for it?"
Lü Qian grinned mischievously, finally shaking off the embarrassment from the previous misunderstanding, and started chatting and laughing with Han Xiao again.
Han Xiao squinted and reached out to tickle Lü Qian's ticklish spot. Lü Qian quickly dodged, screaming repeatedly, crossing her arms over her waist, and nervously staring at Han Xiao, ready to run away at any moment.
Because her grandfather wanted to match her with Han Xiao, Lü Qian was nervous for a long time. However, she gradually realized that Han Xiao's intimate behavior was not because he had feelings for her, but because he didn't treat her as a woman at all... or rather, he didn't treat women in a special way. This made Lü Qian breathe a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but doubt her own charm.
A woman's heart is unfathomable; if you try to please her, she will be wary of you; if you treat her with disdain, she will be unhappy.
Of course, this is based on looks. If you're handsome enough, you can find a partner by pleasing her, or you can find a partner if she ignores you. So it's not that I'm pessimistic, but most people are destined from birth to either be subjected to public displays of affection or be burned alive...
Lü Qian was dressed scantily, and her soft, white breasts were constricted into a precarious curve.
Han Xiao remained completely unmoved, utterly immune to the allure of beautiful women. He had become indifferent to them, working fifteen hours a day lately, seemingly trending towards asexuality.
Last night, he dreamt that he had transformed his little hook into a machine gun. After waking up, he seriously considered the feasibility and found it to be quite practical. This startled him so much that he hurriedly recalled more than a dozen ex-girlfriends, including Meimei, Meimei, Meimei, Meimei, Meimei, Meimei, and Meimei. Only then did he reset the correct values of a male creature.
People can die, but birds cannot be lost.
Glancing at the Frenzied Sword, Han Xiao silently calculated the time. There was only one day left in the closed beta test; this guy was finally going to be kicked out.
He only tested the NPC functions on the Frenzied Sword; he didn't contact the other professional players who came to West Capital, nor was there any need for him to.
Suddenly, a prompt appeared on the panel.
[You have triggered an emergency mission [Assassination]!]
[Mission prompt: The assassin is about to arrive on the battlefield.]
[Mission Requirement: Survive.]
[Task Reward: Unknown]
Han Xiao's expression suddenly turned serious.
Urgent mission! Attack could happen at any moment!
Damn it, Old Man Lü isn't home right now!
Feng Jun and the others were constantly monitoring their surroundings, yet he was still able to trigger a mission, which meant that the enemy must have approached them using extraordinary means, and was very likely a superhuman!
Han Xiao didn't have time to explain. He rushed back to his room, grabbed all the weapons, and strode away from the repair shop. Because of Old Man Lü's hidden storyline, he didn't want to Implicated Lü Qian.
Frenzied Sword hurriedly followed.
Han Xiao glanced at him, said nothing, and moved quickly, a hint of vigilance in his eyes, as if someone was watching him from the shadows.
If the other party remains lurking in the shadows, they will be a ticking time bomb; it's better to let them explode proactively.
The temperature was getting colder, Frenzied Sword touched his arm, suddenly feeling a little scared.
An invisible killing intent was gathering.
Han Xiao deliberately ventured into the dark alley, and after walking through a section of the alley, his alertness suddenly rose to its peak.
Suddenly, everything went black, as if I had fallen into a hazy, dark abyss. I lost all sound and had no reference points. It felt like being in the womb, peaceful and serene, making me want to fall asleep right then and there.
Hallucination!
Han Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, and his strength rushed to his brain.
[You are trapped in an illusion, currently determining your intellect... Your intelligence is above 50 points, the determination is successful, you are immune to this illusion.]
The darkness suddenly breaks, and the illusion vanishes!
The instant his senses returned, Han Xiao discovered a strange male assassin who had appeared five meters away, pointing a pistol at his forehead with a smug, confident smile on his face.
"Click." The assassin pulled the trigger.
Han Xiao's expression changed.
How can you dodge bullets at such close range?!
It is often said that in the moments leading up to a fatal danger, time can be stretched out Infinite.
Han Xiao felt as if time had slowed down. The next moment, Han Xiao used extreme rationality to suppress all negative emotions, and his eyes immediately became as calm as ice.
I'm not dead yet!
The flow of time has returned to normal.
The instant the bullet left the barrel, Han Xiao suddenly activated [Sliding Shot], his entire body shifting slightly to the side as if by teleportation!
The effect of the Sliding Shot is to complete a slide of up to three meters in an instant. Once the movement distance is reduced, the time required will also be shortened proportionally. Han Xiao set the movement distance to be only 5 centimeters, and completed the dodge almost instantly, avoiding a fatal blow.
The bullet grazed Han Xiao's cheek, leaving a scorched, bloody gash where the flesh was torn open, the burning pain stimulating his nerves.
He miraculously dodged the fatal bullet, narrowly missing it by a hair's breadth!
The assassin's expression changed.
Nosa, as an Assassination executor and ace killer of the Germinal Organization, has Assassination hundreds of targets using his Illusion Ability, never failing even when the targets were also ability users. The organization's intelligence indicates that Zero's strength is at most that of an elite agent, but he relies on mechanical combat and his own abilities are not strong. How could he possibly break free from Nosa's illusion so quickly?
The intelligence is incorrect!
As Han Xiao dodged with Godspeed, he drew two Wild Eagle from his lower back like a phantom, activated them to rapid-fire mode, channeled his fiery energy into the dual pistols, and simultaneously activated [Overload]. The roaring large-caliber bullets shot out, the recoil causing his wrist to tremble slightly. Bang bang bang, the bullets hit the unavoidable Nosa in succession, all blasting into Nosa's chest.
Han Xiao's mastery of the Sliding Shot technique was superb, achieving both dodging and counter-attack simultaneously. It looked simple, but it was actually a perfect burst of his rich combat experience!
Nosa's body trembled violently. If it weren't for his protective aura, he would have been blasted through the heart. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, unleashed his strength, and quickly retreated in an attempt to escape. One wrong step led to further losses. He believed in the assassin's creed of fleeing immediately if the first strike failed.
Han Xiao's face was icy cold. He gathered his strength in his legs and caught up with Nosa. He quickly switched to a high-incendiary magazine, aimed at Nosa's front, and fired fiercely.
A sea of fire surged up, blocking their path. Nosa hurriedly stopped, gritted her teeth, and turned to stare at the approaching Han Xiao. Her eyes shone with swirling, colorful mist, deep and eerie.
[Illusion detected, determining... Your intelligence is above 50 points, determination successful, you are immune to this illusion.]
"Bang!"
Han Xiao paused, then without a word, fired a precise shot into Nosa's neck, creating a horrifying bloody hole.
Nosa's eyes widened in terror. He clutched his neck but couldn't stop the blood from splattering. He tried to speak, but his trachea had been blasted open, and he could only make gurgling sounds.
Why can't my tried-and-true Illusion Ability affect Zero?!
Han Xiao strode forward, his twin pistols like spears, directly knocking Nosa down. He pressed the pistols against Nosa's chest, pinned him to the ground, and ruthlessly pulled the trigger.
Thump!
The gunshots were muffled.
The bullet pierced through flesh, and the ground beneath Nosa exploded into a splatter-like burst of bright red rose. Flames erupted from his face, and his internal organs were instantly charred by the High Combustion Bullet. His flailing hands drooped limply at his sides.
[You defeated Nosa Kono (level 25 ability user), executive officer of the Germinal Organization, and gained 7500 experience points.]
[You have completed the emergency mission [Assassination], and you have received a Character Summon Card.]
Han Xiao was slightly out of breath. Blood soaked his mask, sliding down his cheeks to his jaw, dripping down and splattering on the ground like red plum blossoms.
The surroundings finally quieted down, leaving only the crackling of the flames.
With Nosa dead, Frenzied Sword broke free from the illusion. In his perception, only a moment had passed. When he saw the battle scene before him, he was completely dumbfounded.
What just happened here?!
