The most difficult game in history has descended upon the world, and players can obtain a random talent as soon as they log in.
Jiang Hao starts with a Supreme-level talent: as long as it is ...
He thought even thieves had their code of honor and was still hunting tigers in the north, but he never expected that the other man would follow him for 20 kilometers to this place.
Jiang Hao was genuinely surprised.
What puzzled Jiang Hao even more was...
Even thieves have their code of honor; at this moment, the health bar above his head turned green.
Jiang Hao almost thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, only to realize that he hadn't misread it.
It's green!
Holy crap, when did he end up in the same newbie village as me again?
Jiang Hao cast a detection spell on him, which made him even more puzzled.
His attribute panel hasn't changed at all; he's still player number 001 in the Shanghai district!
The other player isn't from the same starting village as me, but their health bar is still green. What the hell is going on?
This is even more unbelievable than being robbed by bandits while eating hotpot and singing.
Jiang Hao was almost completely confused by the "Stealing Has Its Ways" technique!
Even thieves have their code of honor; he single-handedly stormed into the battlefield, ignoring everyone else, solely to rescue the girl. Jiang Hao thought to himself that the two of them must have known each other before.
While a lone wolf is formidable at slaying monsters, he's not capable of rescuing several people surrounded by them. The best strategy is to rely on his high agility to carry them out of the battlefield one by one. However, this leaves the remaining players in even greater danger. If only Lucky manages to rescue one of them, without the girl's slowing effect, her teammates will likely be instantly killed by the monsters.
Even thieves have their code of honor, and he was temporarily trapped in a predicament. He dragged the girl around the battlefield, dodging left and right, which was nothing more than buying time.
"Oh! What brings you here? Thank you for saving me."
Despite their good fortune, even those robbed had their own code of honor. Holding hands, they dodged and weaved through the monster horde, their bodies inevitably coming into contact with each other. A hint of shyness appeared on the girl's face.
"Ah, I just happened to be passing by and saw you were in danger, so I came in."
The girl's pink face flushed slightly, and she uttered an "oh" without saying anything more. She let Dao Yiyoudao pull her along, running around in the monster horde, her eyes constantly scrutinizing Dao Yiyoudao's profile.
She noticed that not far from the battlefield, countless skeletal monsters were approaching her. She wondered what the group of players had done to attract so many monsters for no reason.
For a moment, I was filled with a mix of luck, anxiety, anger, and helplessness.
"How come there are so many? What should we do? Maybe... maybe you guys should run for your lives, Captain."
This seemed to be the only way. Relying on the girl's summoned creatures to delay them, her teammates did indeed have a chance to escape. She also knew that once her teammates left the battlefield, all the pressure would fall on her alone. Even with Thief Yi Youdao's agility, he absolutely couldn't rescue her from the encirclement of hundreds of monsters.
"You should go too. This time, I... this time, thank you so much."
"Oh, so how do you plan to thank me?"
Even thieves have their code of honor. While pulling her to dodge monster attacks, he also looked down at the girl in a rather improper manner.
Full of luck, she quickly and shyly lowered her head, inwardly cursing the guy for being so unserious.
"If I survive this, will you be my girlfriend?"
The thief, bound by honor, had stopped in his tracks. He held the girl's hand in one hand and smiled as he gazed at her blushing face.
Completely unaware that the monsters around her were disappearing one by one, Lucky Man was oblivious. Thinking that Thief Yi Youdao was lost in thought, she quickly reminded him.
"Hey you idiot, why aren't you hiding? There are too many monsters here, and you still have time to say such silly things?"
"Just tell me whether you agree or not."
At the moment when he was about to be instantly killed by the monster, this fool remained completely unmoved. Luck was anxious, but didn't know how to persuade him.
"If...if I survive this time, then...then perhaps..."
The voice was barely audible, and even thieves, bound by honor, couldn't hear it clearly. They quickly asked, "What is it?"
Lucky found it amusing and looked up, intending to tease him, but suddenly realized there wasn't a single monster around. Her teammates were standing nearby, watching her with amused expressions.
Suddenly, Yunqi Manman felt his face burning hot. Suppressing his embarrassment, he looked around, only to find that within the range suppressed by the Slow skill, there wasn't a single monster in sight. Although more and more monsters were closing in from outside the range, it was as if an invisible shield was surrounding the six of them, preventing the surrounding monsters from daring to step into the shield.
But the slow skill has already stopped!
From the moment he noticed the anomaly, Lucky Man realized that his summoned creatures had returned to their resting space due to depleted mana.
Could it be that my luck is so extraordinary that it has drawn the mercy of the heavens, who have come down to save me?
Following the gazes of his teammates, he turned his head with a sense of good fortune.
Then he saw a mage standing on a high hill in the distance, his feet piled high with the corpses of gnolls and the scattered bones of skeleton monsters. The mage was waving his staff back and forth.
Every time the staff fell, a monster would appear beneath it, its health bar emptied, and it would collapse to the ground, limp and lifeless.
This amazing scene made Lucky Man's normally small mouth gape open wide.
Beside the mage, thirty or forty players from the Rabbit Kingdom stood with their arms crossed, watching this scene with grins. It was as if they themselves had accomplished this feat.
"Yes, yes, that's the expression. Once the Lord of Hell makes his move, no one can escape the mark of this expression!"
"You know what, seeing that expression, even as a follower, I felt really good."
"Hey, what do you guys think? Should we come up with a slogan for our boss? Otherwise, his entrance doesn't feel imposing enough."
"Yes, yes, let's add some background music. Look at the main characters in TV dramas, which one doesn't have background music when they appear? The Lord of Hell is obviously much more handsome than them!"
......
Jiang Hao was speechless as he listened to the dozens of players' boastful remarks.
"What...what's going on?"
Full of luck, he sought the advice of even thieves who adhered to ethical principles.
"Tell me quickly! Did you agree or not?"
"You wish! You saved me once in the game, and you expect me to repay you with my body? Dream on!"
Full of luck, he made a funny face. Just as the thief was about to hit himself on the forehead, he quickly dodged backward, his laughter echoing throughout the battlefield.
"See? I told you so! There's always a way out! Especially since I'm incredibly lucky; I'm a woman of destiny."
Seeing their incredible luck, the teammates started boasting again, and surprisingly, none of them refuted them. Logically speaking, given the situation just now, even the largest guild in Shanghai District 001 would likely have perished here, let alone them. Considering their own previous experiences, the idea of a chosen one was undeniable, leaving them no choice but to believe it.
"Um, shouldn't we lend a hand?"
