Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Experience Plunder
[🎉 Shoutout to CyberArsonist for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]
Yuan Zhu and Su Nuannuan breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing Jiang Kai successfully break through the encirclement.
However, they themselves now faced the siege of three enemies.
Black Mole glanced at his wristwatch, frowning slightly. [T/N: Black mole is the mole-faced man in the previous chapter]
"That big guy's stats are high. His class might be one of Huaxia's top ones—Martial Disciple."
"Huh? A Martial Disciple? Then we've really hit the jackpot. Crippling a Martial Disciple would definitely hurt Huaxia a lot. We have to give this big guy a proper 'welcome,' so he'll never dare log into Destiny's Calling again." exclaimed the blonde-haired man in excitement.
Their mission wasn't just about killing newcomers—it was about utterly breaking Huaxia's rookies' psychological defenses.
Crippling a top-tier class would certainly be a huge blow to Huaxia.
"Then let's serve him a special dish." the blonde-haired man said with a sinister grin.
Yuan Zhu's eyes revealed his growing fear as his body involuntarily stepped back.
The blonde-haired man noticed this reaction and laughed loudly. "A big guy like you, scared like a little dog? Hahaha!"
Black Mole chuckled slightly. "That's more like it. The death experience in Destiny's Calling feels exactly like real death. Who wouldn't be afraid of that?"
Meanwhile, Su Nuannuan, who was entangled with another smuggler, had been stabbed in her right leg.
The attacker didn't pursue her further, while Su Nuannuan desperately swung her poisoned spike to force him back and retreated in front of Yuan Zhu.
She stood in front of him, holding the poisoned spike, aiming it at the three enemies. Despite her injury, her gaze showed no signs of retreat.
"If you want to hurt my friend, YOU'LL HAVE TO KILL ME FIRST!" Su Nuannuan shouted angrily.
For a moment, Yuan Zhu froze in place.
When they first met Su Nuannuan, she had dragged her exhausted body over, pleading to join their group.
Her wristwatch and class revealed her wealthy, privileged background.
However, after just two and a half days together, Yuan Zhu and Jiang Kai realized that Su Nuannuan wasn't the pampered princess they initially thought.
She didn't show any of the typical ailments of a rich girl.
Along the way, she worked tirelessly like any other barefoot doctor—treating their injuries with her skills and using her knowledge to strategize for the team.
As a support-class doctor, she had even leaped from a tree during a life-or-death moment, enduring the agonizing bites of human-faced beasts to help them kill two of them.
In moments of crisis, she fully trusted Jiang Kai and dared to stand in front of him.
Some people remain mere acquaintances for a lifetime, while others, even after just a day of meeting, become close friends.
Yuan Zhu's eyes fell on Nuannuan's wound, her thigh already soaked in blood. Deep within him, a simmering anger began to awaken.
'If you want to hurt my friend, you'll have to kill me first.'
'That sentence… It shouldn't have come from her mouth.'
"Hehehe, little girl, don't worry. We'll give you just as warm a 'welcome' Cut off her hands first." Black Mole commanded coldly.
The blonde-haired man sprang into action, swinging his scythe fiercely at Su Nuannuan.
Su Nuannuan's wristwatch displayed the following assessment:
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Opponent: Level 4 Smuggler
Strength: 10
Agility: 13
Constitution: 13
Mental Power: Unknown
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Compared to herself, a Barefoot Doctor:
Strength: 2
Agility: 4
Constitution: 2
Mental Power: 6
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The difference in stats alone made them worlds apart—not to mention her opponent had weapons and combat skills.
The blonde-haired man's speed was too great. Su Nuannuan had no time to dodge as the scythe swung toward her.
Suddenly, a massive figure darted out from behind her.
"True Force Strike! Repel!"
The blonde-haired man didn't even know what had hit him. Despite his high stats, Yuan Zhu had knocked him flying seven or eight meters.
Su Nuannuan stared at Yuan Zhu in shock.
At that moment, Yuan Zhu's muscles were taut and bulging, his figure resembling a steel war god standing firm in front of her.
Although Yuan Zhu's stats were lower than his opponent's, his sudden burst of strength was astounding.
Looking at Yuan Zhu's back, Su Nuannuan felt a fleeting vision of the timid Yuan Zhu transforming into one of those legendary supreme gods of war from Huaxia's War God Hall, standing proudly on the battlefield.
Su Nuannuan gently placed her hand on Yuan Zhu's side, speaking softly and tenderly, "Thank you…"
"Relax a little; otherwise, your movements will be too stiff. I trust you, and I believe he'll come back."
Su Nuannuan's words cleared Yuan Zhu's mind.
There was still hope.
Black Mole narrowed his eyes, his voice icy. "Impressive for a Martial Disciple, but you're only prolonging the inevitable."
"As for your friend, Yamada will bring him back soon."
Elsewhere, another smuggler pursued Jiang Kai.
"Damn it, how is this kid so fast?" Yamada stood amidst the dense vegetation, unable to find any trace of Jiang Kai.
Raising his wrist, he checked the stats on his watch.
"Evaluate that guy's attributes."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Class: Unknown
Strength: Unable to assess
Constitution: Unable to assess
Mental Power: Unable to assess
Agility: Estimated at 15
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Fifteen?" Yamada's eyes widened. "What the hell? I'm level 4 with only 13. This thing must be broken. I need to get a better 'Lone Wolf' after this mission."
Deciding he'd lost his quarry, Yamada turned to leave—only to suddenly feel four dark projectiles shoot at his back.
They struck with such speed that he had no time to react, piercing him instantly.
Pain radiated from his back, spreading throughout his body. Within seconds, he collapsed, convulsing on the ground.
Emerging from the dense forest, Jiang Kai approached the twitching, foam-mouthed Yamada, sneering. "Should've used just one spike. What a waste."
Squatting down, Jiang Kai looted Yamada's dagger and wristwatch, figuring they could fetch a decent price.
Glancing at the watch's data, Jiang Kai muttered, "Agility 15? What kind of junk is this? It's way off." [T/N: 🥶]
Yamada's eyes locked on Jiang Kai, glaring with the remnants of his strength.
"Even your opponent thinks it's trash. Guess dying this time's on your watch," Jiang Kai quipped, shaking his head.
"I have agility 18," Jiang Kai added, grinning.
Yamada's eyes widened further in disbelief.
Without hesitation, Jiang Kai drove another spike into Yamada's face, finishing him off.
"Huaxia isn't something you can mess with. Die."
[Kill confirmed. Select experience to plunder: 0–100 points.]
In Destiny's Calling, killing another player could not only loot items but also steal experience points.
For every point plundered, the victim lost twice as much.
Without a second thought, Jiang Kai selected to plunder 100 points.
As Yamada's consciousness faded, despair filled his eyes—he would lose 100 points.
Pulling the spike free, Jiang Kai rushed toward the river.
"Yuan Zhu, Nuannuan—hold on."
Meanwhile, at Japan's #4 Login Gate Data Research Facility…
The staff was stunned by a piece of information.
A military officer stared at a researcher in shock, his eyes bulging.
"What did you say? A level 4 smuggler was killed?"
The officer turned to his subordinate and roared in fury, "These are the elite you selected? Level 4 and killed in the trial zone?"
The researcher awkwardly replied, "Sir, he wasn't killed by beasts. He was… um… killed by a Huaxia rookie."
"What? Say that again!"
"Level 4 smuggler Yamada… was killed by a Huaxia rookie participating in the trial…" the researcher repeated reluctantly. "Ah, and he's now level 3…"
