Chapter 140 Jealousy
Jealous
More and more people gathered around them. Chi Dong frowned and pursed his lips, as if he had seen something bad.
"Third brother, do you feel that... there seem to be more and more people here?"
Zhou Yize was silent for a moment, and quickly scanned the IDs of the players around him, with a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He remembered that someone had mentioned some time ago that a special gang had emerged in each server.
This gang is not for fame, money, or profit, but for "gossip" and to keep track of interesting stories about the masters on the leaderboard. It is said that this gang was established less than a month ago, and more than ten masters on the leaderboard have been exposed by it.
Zhou Yize made up an excuse to get away with it: "...Maybe the drop rate of monsters is high recently, so there are more people running around."
Chi Dong had never paid attention to the drop rate, so when he heard him say that, he couldn't help but believe it a little. However, the next second after he finished speaking, the world channel suddenly exploded.
[World] Liang Feng You Xin: Hahahaha, I checked. The girl named Meng Li wearing the sect's clothes is the great god's wife. Her name on the Heroes Ranking is exactly the same as hers. There is no mistake.
[World] Qiuyue Wubian: She is really the master's wife, husband, please take a screenshot! I will send it to you now, wait for me, don't let them run away.
[World] Rose Flower: Hasn't the great god always been single? When did he get a wife? How come I don't know?
【World】byebaby: The person above, you just returned to the game, right? I suggest you search the forum first, and find out the directions. Shocking! A certain great god is crazy about love
[World] Duluduluku: Damn, I thought the great god would be with Su Nisheng, the most beautiful girl in the server, but he ended up finding such a low-level nanny.
…
Chi Dong looked at the world channel and nearby channels that kept refreshing the screen. Some players even called out to him to come out and speak.
Chi Dong felt nervous for a moment and subconsciously looked at his character ID. Only then did he realize that his name had changed from "懸壺濟世" to "侠缘之杀人每十步长" at some point.
"Third brother, this title...what's the story?" Chi Dong's voice was a little trembling. He remembered that there was no such title before.
Zhou Yize's face turned ugly in an instant. He suddenly remembered that he had logged into Chi Dong's account a few days ago and wanted to help him adjust the panel.
It was probably at that time that he accidentally wore the title in the Chidong package. This was his problem. The game "Xia Jiang" had a very strange rule: once a title was worn, it could not be replaced within seven days.
"Tsk, they're going to be popular."
From the very beginning, pop-up windows for applying to join the team kept popping up one after another. In order to prevent himself from accidentally pressing the wrong button, Zhou Yize directly switched the team mode to two-person.
But those people still did not give up. Seeing that their plan failed, they prepared to keep track of the coordinates and started a battle mode nearby, hoping to force them to respond.
Zhou Yize gritted his teeth and tapped his fingers quickly on the keyboard, "There are only 5 rings left. We will log off after we finish them. These people are really crazy. They dare to start red at the city gate."
As a result, just as he finished speaking, there were only a few players around him who had turned red, but suddenly there were more.
The people around them also knew that this route would only be passed through here in the final few sections of the loop, so everyone guessed that the two people's mission was about to end.
As a result, more and more players gathered, and some people began to use skill special effects to block their vision, not wanting them to pass. The news on the world channel was refreshed very quickly, and almost every piece of news was related to them.
Chi Dong pursed his lips tightly, feeling a little uneasy. He never thought that one day he would become the focus of the entire server because of a title.
What made him even more uneasy was that the name "Ten Steps to Kill a Person" seemed to be more eye-catching than he had imagined...
[World] My teammate Mozhu is such a jerk: I am looking for high-quality and high-level babies, only cute ones, no fangs. Price is negotiable, mmmm.
[World] The Great Hero Zha Zha Pang: I~ saw~ it~ too. If I'm not mistaken, there's a man with two swords following the Great God's wife.
[World] Liang Feng You Xin: Yes, yes, big brother, you are also here, what a coincidence.
[World] Great Hero Zha Zha Pang: Yes, it seems that they are quite close. I thought they were a couple, but I didn’t expect that Meng Li is actually the master’s wife. The master is really pitiful, he was actually cuckolded.
[World] 123 Wooden Man: What? Cheating? Who cheated?
[World] Treasure Box: Collect a lot of gold from all over the world, some can be sent to me privately.
[World] I say to you: Who is it? Don't keep me in suspense. I was just thinking about putting on a facial mask, but you guys started gossiping. You're wasting my FaceTime!
[World] Da Xia Zha Zha Pang: Oh, who else could it be? Isn't it the wife of the number one in the server? The wives of other great players are not as eye-catching as hers!
[World] Crazy Thursday: What, what did you say? The wife who kills one person every 10 steps is cheating on her? Is this true?
[World] Silently passing by: ...What the hell are you talking about? Spreading rumors and causing trouble, do you want to die?
[World] Transformation:.
[World] Blazing Fire Burns Pride: ovo!!
[World] Broken Shadow: Whose dog is this? It’s not tied up and is running around and barking everywhere.
[World] Big Hero Zha Zha Pang: Am I wrong? I am telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. The hidden Meng Li named Dong Dong is clearly in the Sweet Couple 2/5 with a [Rihui]. They are so intimate, okay?
[World] Let’s Eat: Get lost! Are you not allowing me to bring my friends to do the mission?
[World] Big Hero Zha Zha Pang: Ha! Tell me, whose friends sit on the same mount hugging each other? It's not like that in my family.
[World] Iron Tree in Bloom: Stop arguing. I have something to say. The two people you are talking about have now gone to Chiyuan Pavilion (779, 360) to take a boat ride and enjoy the flowers.
[World] Kill one person in ten steps: ...
[Region-wide Announcement] Clang clang clang! Players are willing to pay 10,000 gold to place a bounty on the hero Zha Zha Pang if he kills one person every 10 steps. The bounty is limited to three months.
The bounty order was issued ten times in a row, which means that as long as someone grabs it and successfully kills the hero, Zha Zha Pang, they can get a bounty of 10,000. However, there is a limit on the number of times, and each person can only accept two bounties per day.
Normally, ordinary players would only post a bounty at the lowest price of 1,000 gold, but Bu Qianli went the extra mile and raised the amount to 10,000 gold, which is equivalent to earning 100 yuan for each kill. If he does it twice a day, that's equivalent to a daily salary of 200 yuan.
And the person he wanted - the big hero Zha Zha Pang, was just a battle shield who had just collected a set of purple equipment. Killing him was a piece of cake. This was simply giving away money!
Suddenly, the world's frequency channels were boiling at a speed of rolling and exploding.
Chi Dong didn't know that Bu Qianli was online at this time. He was now completely focused on the mission requirements. They only had two rings left to complete the mission. The 99th ring required them to pick rare lotus hearts, which were only available in Chi Yuan Pavilion.
Zhou Yize led him to dodge the attack with great difficulty, and while the group of people were not paying attention, he quickly flew away from the spot and headed straight for the Medicine Valley transmission point, where Chi Yuan Pavilion was.
[Nearby] Qiuyue Wubian: Damn, look, they are sticking together again.
[Nearby] Mianmian Strawberry Ice: You guys are crowding me, this is my seat.
[Nearby] Watermelon juice is delicious: Stop making noise, ahhhhhhhh, they ran away, chase them.
[Nearby]wehuu: You are such a big-headed ghost, but the person has already run away, where can I chase him?
[Nearby] Hagoyoyo: Tsk tsk tsk, I have a tracking talisman, let me check it out.
[Nearby] My lovely moneymaker: Don’t waste the talismans, they went to Chiyuan Pavilion to pick lotus seeds. Have you all forgotten that the last few rings of the Hundred Rings quest are fixed?
…
Chi Dong followed Zhou Yize to the Medicine Valley. There were very few players around, and as far as the eye could see, there were only clusters of blooming purple bell orchids.
Chi Dong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one behind him. He had finally gotten rid of this group of people.
Before he could say anything, a conspicuous prompt popped up - your hero sent a message.
[Private chat] Kill one person every ten steps: Dongdong, join me.
Chi Dong was a little confused when he saw the message. When did this person come online? Why didn't he see it?
Although he felt it was strange, he still asked Zhou Yize to readjust the team mode. For safety reasons, after letting the person into the team, he immediately enabled the application restrictions again.
After everyone came in, Zhou Yize glanced at the team column meaningfully, "Xiaodong, this person is the good man and god you praised so much before, right?"
"...Second brother, why do you talk strangely?" Chi Dong blinked, looking confused. He always felt that there was something wrong with what Zhou Yize said, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Zhou Yize retracted his gaze and replied calmly, "No, am I not praising others for their kindness?"
Chi Dong Chi was suspicious: "Could it be... did I hear it wrong?"
"Well, you definitely heard it wrong." Zhou Yize narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, and a cunning arc appeared at the corners of his mouth. That smile made him look like a fox demon who had been practicing for thousands of years.
The two of them chatted using the voice chat on WeChat, so they were not worried that Bu Qianli would not be able to hear their conversation.
[Team] Kill one person every ten steps: Dong Dong.
[Team] Dongdong hides: Shibu, here you come!
[Team] Kill one person every ten steps: Who is this?
[Team] Sumi Genkai: Hello, great god. I am Xiaodong’s best friend. You can call me Sumi or Genkai.
[Team] Kill one person every ten steps: ...
[Team] Kill one person every ten steps: Hello.
Although he knew about the existence of this person when he was in the company, Bu Qianli still felt an uncontrollable resentment in his heart when he saw the other party call Chi Dong so affectionately.
[Team] Kill One in Ten Steps: What are you doing in Medicine Valley?
[Team] Sumi Genkai: Run in circles.
[Team] Dongdong hides: running in circles.
[Team] Kill one person every ten steps: ...
The two spoke in unison, causing Chih-ri to frown.
[Team] Kill one person in ten steps: I can also lead the running circle, Dongdong, why didn’t you tell me?
Chi Dong was a little confused. Isn't it just a running mission? It doesn't seem to require so many people to lead it?
[Team] Dongdong hid: I saw you were not online, and thought you were busy, so I didn’t call you.
Bu Qianli was about to reply when suddenly, a private message popped up.
[Private chat] Sumi Genkai: Hello, great master. I was away for a while because I had some things to do. Now I am back. I won’t bother you to take care of Dongdong anymore. I will do it myself.
Staring at the conversation on the screen, Bu Qianli's eyes suddenly turned cold. His slender fingers paused on the keyboard, as if he was suppressing some emotion. Sumi Genkai's words were like a thorn, piercing straight into his heart.
Bu Qianli could of course hear such an obvious provocation. He took a deep breath and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer.
[Private chat] Kill one person in ten steps: [smile.jpg]
At this moment, the atmosphere in the team was tense and full of gunpowder, but Chi Dong was completely oblivious to this. He was staring down at the screen, his brows slightly furrowed, and he was worried about whether the three-person team could still run the ring.
[Team] Sumi Genkai: ^_^ We are going to continue running the ring. Great God, you...
[Team] Kill one person every ten steps: Run together.
[Team] Sumi Genkai: Isn’t this too bad?
[Team] Kill one person every ten steps: ...Why is that bad?
[Team] Sumi Genkai: I’m used to teaming up with Dongdong, and it’s not convenient to have one more person.
[Team] Kill one person in ten steps: ^_^ Oh, really? Dongdong, don't you want to join me too?
[Team] Sumi Genkai: Xiaodong, what do you say?
There was such obvious tension, even if Chi Dong was dull, he could still hear it. One was the roommate who took care of him like his own brother, and the other was the one who helped him with the Ten Steps over and over again. Chi Dong was silent for a long time, but in the end his heart leaned towards Zhou Yize. After all, the friendship they had in the dormitory for three years was stronger than that on the virtual network.
[Team] Dongdong hid: Shibu, Xumi really doesn’t like playing with too many people. Can you wait until I finish running and then I’ll come back to find you?
[Team] Kill one person every ten steps: ...
Bu Qianli never thought that Chi Dong would give up on him and choose the other one between him and the others. His deep eyes narrowed slightly, and every time he bit his cheeks, he seemed to be restraining the jealousy surging in his heart.
He didn't want to endure it any longer. If he kept it a secret any longer, he might get kidnapped in the late winter and he would still be kept in the dark, and it would be too late for him to regret.
[Private Chat] Kill One Person in Ten Steps: Dongdong, I have something to say to you.
[Private chat] Dong Dong hid: Huh? What?
[Private Chat] Kill One Person in Ten Steps: I want to talk to you alone.
[Private chat] Dongdong hid: Is it urgent?
[Private Chat] Kill One Person in Ten Steps: Yeah, it’s very urgent.
[Private chat] Dongdong hid: Okay, then I will talk to Xumi.
[Private Chat] Kill one person every ten steps: I'll wait for you.

"Third brother, I'm sorry, I may not be able to do the remaining two rings."
"What's wrong?"
"Master has something urgent to talk to me about, so I have to leave the team first. Let's run again tomorrow, okay?" Chi Dong adjusted his glasses a little embarrassedly.
Zhou Yize chuckled, his meaning unclear, "It doesn't matter, you can run away when you have time in the future, but by then, it may not be me..."
Chi Dong couldn't quite hear what he said at the end, "Ah? Not what?"
"Nothing." Zhou Yize shook his head, his eyes crooked, "I'll withdraw. This is more convenient."
"Yeah, thank you, Third Brother."
"Okay, I'm leaving now. Remember to call me if you need anything." Zhou Yize said, and quickly left the team. He also hung up the WeChat chat, leaving Chi Dong and Bu Qianli in the team.
[Team] Dong Dong hid: Master, he is gone.
[Team] Kill one person every ten steps: Captain, give it to me.
[Team] Dongdong hides: Oh, okay.
Chi Dong thought Bu Qianli was going to use the voice function of the team channel, so he quickly opened the drawer and took out a pair of headphones that he had bought this afternoon. He wanted to confess to Shi Bu Sha Yi Ren that he was playing a female character.
After all, the two have known each other for such a long time, and keeping it secret any longer would not be good for the development of their relationship.
However, what Chi Dong did not expect was that after Shi Bu Sha Yi Ren captured the captain, he did not speak through the microphone, but directly took him to a place where the mountains and fields were full of flowers.
Although Chidong has never been here, he has seen this scene on the official website.
It is said that this was a scene planned for the Chinese Valentine's Day some time ago. After the event ended, the scene did not disappear, but remained as a new coordinate point.
There is only one NPC for the Chinese Valentine's Day in it. Because it looks like a lantern, everyone jokingly calls it a "light bulb".
But Chi Dong was wondering, what were they doing here? To enjoy the scenery?
Seeing that he killed one person every ten steps without saying a word, Chi Dong didn't dare to ask and could only follow silently.
Following the path forward, the two finally came to a hidden valley. The flowers here were stacked up in layers, like a gorgeous sea of flowers. Looking around, the surroundings were quiet and silent. Apart from them, no other players could be seen.
When Ten Steps Kill One Person stopped, Chi Dong's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if something important was about to come. His sixth sense told him that what the other party was going to say next might not be what he wanted to hear now.
But with a lucky mentality, he still felt that the possibility was very small.
[Team] Kill one person every ten steps: Is it beautiful here?
[Team] Dongdong hid: Mm-hmm, beautiful.
When he saw that it was not what he had in mind, Chi Dong couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and his stiff back relaxed a little.
He was telling the truth, this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful sea of flowers. He subconsciously turned on the camera mode and took a lot of photos from different angles.
But after taking a few pictures, he suddenly realized that this sea of flowers looked so much like... a heart shape?
Could it be that he was dazzled and saw it wrong?
Before he could think deeply, the next second, Bu Qianli's message popped up again.
[Team] Kill one person every ten steps: Do you like it here?
[Team] Dongdong hid: I like it very much.
[Team] Kill One Person in Ten Steps: Well, as long as you like it.
Before Chi Dong had time to think about it, suddenly, a few crisp "bang" sounds rang out, followed by fireworks rising all over the sky, and colorful lights instantly filled the entire screen.
