Xiao He unexpectedly gained a criminal cheat skill that allows him to learn all kinds of crime-related abilities.
—But the catch is, he has to keep “stabbing people” to stay alive.
<...Under Liu Rulan's guidance, Xiao He became very busy and fulfilled.
On the island, Lin Yu'an began to do business openly: everyone could exchange five gold bars for a rabbit token from him.
—This is the exchange mechanism that Lin Yu'an figured out on the island.
In the very center of the island, there is a shop run by the organizers where you can redeem many things with points, including some cold weapons and more expensive items, such as gold bars.
Some players gritted their teeth and used one point to exchange for a weapon in order to protect themselves, but they had no intention of exchanging for anything else in the store.
After all, what they look forward to more than the things on the island is the money they can exchange when they leave! Exchanging things in the shops on the island at this time is undoubtedly showing off your wealth, which will only invite others to plunder you, and you will end up losing both your money and your life.
But this mechanism is absolutely fantastic for Lin Yu'an!
Points on the island cannot be traded directly. Even if points could be exchanged based on wins and losses in battles, the trust between players is almost zero, making this method clearly unreliable.
At this time, the shops opened by the organizers played an important role as intermediaries!
They can exchange points for physical goods. The transaction is safe and secure, without any game challenges. It's a cash-on-delivery transaction, fair and honest, and absolutely safe!
Lin Yu'an even openly and legitimately did business in front of the island's shops, making it easier for other players to find him and quickly convert their points.
As for how to get the items off the island and how to ensure that others wouldn't have any ulterior motives—that's not something Lin Yu'an should be concerned with.
Sure enough, one player's eyes darted around, and then he suddenly shouted, "There are only two of them, do you think we can't beat them?"
He then drew the knife he had exchanged and charged at the two men.
Following this player's words, the others also became restless. Then, several more people took out the weapons they had exchanged and charged towards Lin Yu'an.
Lin Yu'an quickly took a few steps back, revealing Xu Ning behind him: "Xu Ning!"
This time, Xu Ning finally didn't stand idly by and drew his Tang sword.
This Tang sword was a weapon that Xu Ning redeemed for himself after finding a shop. Lin Yu'an had only seen him wiping the blade before, but had not yet seen him use this sword to kill someone.
The young man moved with lightning speed. As the blade severed the first person's throat, he immediately executed a clean and swift spinning motion, slashing the face of the person next to him.
In an instant, one person clutched his throat and knelt on the ground, while the other was left with only half a face and half a head.
Blood spurted out, and everyone was deeply shocked by his move.
Compared to the death threats brought by the organizers, Xu Ning brought naked bloodshed and violence.
Seeing the crowd retreat a few steps, Xu Ning twirled the hilt of his sword, flicking the blood off the Tang sword onto the ground, restoring the blade to its original luster.
"Don't be afraid of him, he won't last much longer!"
Some were stunned by his actions, but others soon relentlessly charged toward Xu Ning.
Of course, there were also some clever ones who, seeing that Xu Ning and Lin Yu'an were in cahoots, immediately turned their attention to Lin Yu'an.
However, Lin Yu'an wasn't stupid. Seeing that someone was trying to take advantage of the gap to grab him, he immediately grabbed the backpack he had exchanged and started circling around Xu Ning.
Xu Ning showed no mercy, cutting down anyone who came at him, and even those who came in pairs. Some people had exchanged for weapons like longswords, but they were no match for Xu Ning's powerful weapon and were simply cut in half.
Wherever Xu Ning slashed, Lin Yu'an followed, insisting on hiding behind Xu Ning and never showing his face.
Only after all the players who had rushed up to cause trouble had fallen did Xu Ning shake the knife in his hand, still wanting to keep the blade shiny and clean, and then look at everyone expectantly: "Anyone else want to try?"
