The dim and lifeless object revives in the [Black Mud Pool].
This is the initial point of entry into Blackwater Creek.
In the dim and gloomy surroundings, players are constantly being resurrected and reborn.
"Damn it! I lost my weapon! That weapon cost me ten thousand!"
"Damn it, my shoes are gone too!"
"Damn it, I lost 13 gold coins!"
Seeing this scene, he sighed in despair.
Even without a report, he knew the mission had failed.
He initiated a voice communication with [Hidden].
Yin Chen answered the phone very quickly.
"No Light, I have seen the world announcement triggered by the Godslayer Guild."
"They've already finished the dungeon, so you're here to report on the battle situation, right?"
"How is it? The video should be saved by now."
He was referring, of course, to the video of Lu Cang being killed by Yin Kong.
According to the plan, Yin Kong will bring down Lu Cang.
With this video, Yin Yuan Guild can portray Yin Kong as a hero who solo-killed Cang Qiong with the advantage of having the first move.
As for whether it was a solo kill, there are no other videos to corroborate it; from the perspective of the Godslayer Guild, there is only darkness.
Naturally, whatever he says goes.
As for any other public opinion, it can be completely covered up.
For example, differences in equipment or levels.
Yin Kong could be directly portrayed as an assassin who, despite being at a disadvantage, used environmental advantages to defeat the strongest expert in the Illusionary Realm.
Public opinion can be manipulated.
However, this was not the hidden dream of victory.
The response, dull yet simple, was: "The mission failed."
Bang!
In the dim light, I heard the sound of a glass being smashed over there.
Immediately following was a muffled, angry outburst: "How could we fail!"
Bang!
Yes, after a dim and gloomy recollection, how could it have failed?
He couldn't understand it either.
Because the sky dodged the attack in the darkness?
Because the heavens cleaved the bullet?
Because the sky found the location of the hidden void?
There are too many reasons, but none of them seem to be major reasons.
"Because we can't beat them."
In the end, Gloom chose the simplest answer.
We can't beat them.
In summary, the reason is simply that we can't beat them; it's purely a matter of being unable to win.
"Can't beat him? We launched a surprise attack first! Are you trying to openly challenge him to a duel?" Yin Chen couldn't accept such a conclusion.
"It was a sneak attack, but he dodged the first wave of skills."
Yin Chen's tone was deep and serious: "Are you kidding me? This is no joke. The moment you leave the instance, your vision is in darkness. How could he possibly react immediately!"
"Even if I knew you were going to launch a sneak attack, I might not be able to dodge it, so how could he possibly dodge it!"
When you come out of the dungeon, everything goes dark. Even if the darkness lasts a little longer, you won't realize something is wrong so quickly.
It's impossible for Cang Qiong to know about the existence of the Shadow Concealment talent. The Hidden Origin Guild has kept this talent very well hidden.
Only a small number of players know this.
“Lu Cang may possess a perception-type ability,” the dim-looking man explained.
"Perception? What about Yin Kong? Didn't Yin Kong make any moves? Are you trying to tell me that Cang Qiong can dodge Yin Kong's attacks without any vision at all?"
Dim and silent.
Hidden depths were indeed right...
Even now, I still can't figure out how the sky managed to dodge that attack.
That's an attack that's completely beyond our sight and impossible to detect!
"Cang Qiong did indeed dodge Yin Kong's attack... and he was hiding in the dark. Cang Qiong found Yin Kong's location, and then Yin Kong was instantly killed." An Dan Wu Guang calmly continued to state the facts he knew, but as he spoke, An Dan Wu Guang himself laughed.
He himself didn't believe these things when he told them.
Hearing the dim, lifeless laughter, a surge of hidden anger welled up within him: "Hey, Wuguang, are you kidding me? Even assuming Lu Cang has perception and can sense other attacks, that's one thing."
"But Yin Kong's talent makes him undetectable, so how could he possibly be discovered?"
With a helpless tone, Dim and Gloom replied to Yin Chen: "President, it's no use taking your anger out on me. It's a pity that this has happened."
"I've already sent you the video; this mission has indeed failed."
Upon hearing this, Yin Chen opened the chat window.
[Dull and lifeless]: The "Video File" file, as he said, has been sent.
He silently clicked on the video.
Immediately afterwards, his pupils contracted slightly.
And once the pupils contracted, they never opened again.
Throughout the entire video viewing process, Yin Chen's pupils remained constricted.
The video is short, ending in just 30 seconds.
It wasn't until he finished watching the entire video that Yin Chen recovered from his shock.
The video is so long not because they persisted for so long.
In reality, the assassination team was wiped out in just over ten seconds.
The video is 30 seconds long because it includes the perspectives of different players participating in the raid.
After watching the video, Yin Chen finally understood the helplessness of being gloomy and without light.
In the video, Cangqiong's behavior can only be described as unbelievable.
To put it in the simplest terms... is this human operation?
What shocked Yin Chen even more was that Lu Cang did not display any special abilities throughout the entire battle.
He fought entirely using that unique weapon that could be transformed.
Besides that, there are basic skills and normal attacks.
Yin Chen couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Does he... not even have any talent to use?"
With a dim and helpless expression, he replied, "It seems so."
"You wiped out my elite team of one hundred without even using your talent?"
This team has 90% of its players with A-level talent, and the remaining 10% with B-level talent are included because they have significant support roles.
This is almost a perfect team.
And now Lu Cang is treated like this, not even using his talent, just rushing in and being killed like a chicken?
"Where is Yin Kong?"
"Yin Kong, the last time I saw him was near the Blackwater Cave instance."
"His resurrection location seems to have been changed by the heavens."
He gave a cold laugh, his tone tinged with helplessness and despair: "By the way... his level is only 11 now."
He silently opened his friends list.
Found contact: [Hidden Space]
But then, in that instant, [Hidden Void (LV: 11)] suddenly transformed into [Hidden Void (LV: 10)]
"Why are you only bringing this up now?!" Yin Chen roared in anger!
This is clearly the most important thing.
Beside the black mud pool, a dimly lit figure sat on a rock, smoking a thin cigarette.
He looked into the distance, his eyes slightly unfocused.
A muffled roar of anger echoed in his mind, yet his expression remained calm.
After a long pause, he slowly said, "I plan to resign. You can find someone else to take over the position of vice president."
-------------------------------------
[Blackwater Cavern - Outer Instance Area]
37.
Leng Qingying sat on the rock, looking calmly at the place where the flags were planted in the distance.
Three minutes passed.
Yin Kong has been killed 37 times.
You can revive approximately every 5-6 seconds. Reviving occurs naturally, and there is no option not to revive.
Players can only perform actions after being resurrected.
Even if Yin Kong wanted to quit the game now, he couldn't.
Unless someone cuts off the power and pulls him out of the gaming pod.
But that's the problem.
The location where Yin Kong logs into the game is not in the Yin Yuan Guild's club.
Instead, it was at his own home.
As S-class special personnel, they naturally receive special treatment.
It doesn't matter where you log in to a game; you're unlikely to encounter a situation where you have to disconnect.
Yin Kong wanted to work from home, so the Yin Yuan Guild allowed him to do so.
The Hidden Origin Guild never have imagined this.
Their own guild's top-tier S-rank main force was repeatedly killed by Lu Cang at the resurrection point.
"20 million."
"20 million."
"20 million."
Resurrect, stab with a spear, resurrect, stab with a spear.
After being killed so many times, with the added bonus of 4 points of luck, all of Yin Kong's equipment was looted.
Let alone more than 2,000 damage.
Even 500 points of damage would be enough to take him down now.
"20 million." Another spear thrust brought Hidden Void back to life.
Lu Cang turned around and asked, "How many hundred million do you have now?"
Bai Lu excitedly held up an 8 and a 2 with her hands, saying in an excited tone, "820 million!"
"It hasn't even broken one billion yet... If we split it 50/50, I'll only get five, but it'll definitely be enough to pay off my debts."
"We still need to keep trying."
Puff puff puff puff—
The fearless warrior watched from the sidelines, his fists clenched tightly.
Twenty million, split 50/50, even if he only gets one-third, that's still three million.
This is the world's currency!
Three million yuan is enough to buy a decent house even in Laoshan District, where the price of housing is 20,000 yuan per square meter.
If 3 million isn't enough, then bring in another 3 million.
Watching the sky being pierced again and again, the fearless warrior wished he could rush up to share Lu Cang's burden and pierce more holes in Yin Kong.
It's as if he could die more times that way.
However, as she continued poking, Bai Lu asked with some concern, "Brother, if we keep doing this... won't the Star Gate Guild refuse to pay?"
That's just too shameless.
In older games, this would likely have been considered malicious use of a bug, resulting in an unreasonable account ban.
Isn't this cheating when you try to swipe money like this?
In response to Bai Lu's question, Lu Cang, while poking Yin Kong to farm money, cheerfully replied, "No way."
"For Stargate Guild, billions are a small matter."
“If we do this, they will only make more money.”
"Besides, would they dare not pay?" Lu Cang asked casually.
Bai Lu suddenly realized.
"That's right!"
This video is not only evidence of taking money, but also a form of threat.
Today, the Godslayer Guild can kill Hidden Void like this.
Tomorrow, we can kill Xingxi from their guild like this.
Not paying? Ha, do you still want to play?
puff!
“50,” Leng Qingying counted.
Another minute passed, and Lu Cang had already reached ten small goals.
Shadow Sky has also dropped 5 levels, leaving him at level 8.
"The Star Gate Guild will not only not renege on its debt, but may even give more. However, this would make us look like a criminal gang collecting protection money."
"Heh, you know about him too? A gang leader. 51." Leng Qingying didn't miss this rare opportunity to be sarcastic.
Lu Cang replied helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense. I am the most law-abiding citizen in this game. In my entire life in the Fantasy World, I have never offended a guard. In last year's good and evil assessment, my kindness score was 90."
Bai Lu then added, "But the evil rating is 95."
puff--
Another spear pierced his chest.
Yin Kong was like a background character, repeatedly dying amidst the cheerful chatter of the Godslayer Guild.
Leng Qingying saw this scene... Heh, orderliness...
If you were to choose the most chaotic and evil player representative in the game, you would probably be number one.
Inside the instance, a player kills celestial creatures that try to help him; outside the instance, another player repeatedly slaughters five...
"53." After killing it again, Leng Qingying didn't chime in with a sarcastic remark, but continued counting.
-------------------------------------
Inside the Hidden Origin Guild, chaos reigned.
At the highest conference table, seven high-ranking members of the Hidden Origin Guild paced back and forth, glancing at the contact [Hidden Void] on their contact list.
His face was all scrunched up.
A bald-headed high-ranking official frowned and asked, "What exactly is going on with Hidden Space?!"
The bespectacled [Hidden Element] offered his speculation: "It seems like he's been constantly being killed, and he doesn't even reply to messages."
"Either they were blocked, or... they were killed so badly that they didn't even have time to send a message."
"Judging from the speed at which it's dropping levels, it's most likely the latter."
The bald man slammed his hand on the table: "Damn it, how could this happen? How did Cang Qiong manage that?"
"Perhaps it's an item dropped by the hidden boss we just saw. These hidden bosses have a chance to drop unique items that might be able to change some of the rules of the illusionary realm," Yin Su replied.
The bald man roared, "We must go and save Yin Kong!"
Meanwhile, the muscular burly man, [Hidden War], said angrily, "Go to the Blackwater Cave to rescue him now?"
"How do we save them? We didn't win just now, do you think we can defeat them now?"
"Does this mean the entire guild is going to turn on just four of them?"
The question fell silent.
"I never approved of this operation in the first place. It all comes down to you guys daring to provoke the Azure Sky. Now look what happened!" Yin Zhan spoke sharply, pointing angrily at the crowd.
Even Yin Chen, the president of the association, was somewhat speechless.
But he quickly tapped the table, reminding everyone, "We can deal with the responsibility later. What's important now is how to save Yin Kong."
Just then, [Hidden Element], who was wearing glasses, raised his hand and said, "I have an idea."
"explain."
"Unplug the network cable."
-------------------------------------
[The Real World]
The duo guarding the entrance to Lu Cang's villa received a message from the Hidden Origin Guild.
But upon seeing this message...
The two were somewhat puzzled.
Immediately cut the internet cable in Lu Cang's home.
"Should I unplug the network cable now?"
The short man was completely baffled: "The world boss hasn't appeared yet, has it?"
The tall guy slapped the short guy on the head: "Damn it! Just do what I tell you to do! Stop talking so much nonsense!"
The order has been issued.
They didn't care anymore and simply cut off the power to Lu Cang's house.
Then they cut the exposed wires! After doing all this, the two immediately got into the car and sped away as fast as they could.
-------------------------------------
【Inside the fantasy world】
"Did you cut it?"
"They said it was cut."
"It should be fine now."
Everyone stared intently at Yin Kong's name; Yin Kong's current level was 5.
"If Yin Kong isn't killed by Lu Cang again, perhaps he can send a message back..."
However, there was still no news from Yin Kong.
"Damn, why isn't there any information?"
The group waited silently for half a minute, which felt like an eternity to them.
But suddenly.
Yin Kong's name jumped again.
【Hidden Void (Level: 4)】
Hidden Void's level has dropped to level 4!
"Damn! Did the sky not lose its connection?"
"No, there is a possibility... other members of the Godslayer Guild can also help Skyslayer."
"Damn! I knew it wasn't that simple."
"Where are the people who went to the Yin Kong family's place? When will they arrive?"
"If we don't hurry, we'll really lose all our levels!"
-------------------------------------
Blackwater Cave
"151."
puff!
Another spear thrust out.
152.
Lu Cang had been "boringly" poking around here for more than ten minutes.
Hidden Void's level has dropped to level 1, and it's an empty level 1 experience bar.
One hidden space directly gifted them 3 billion.
Just as Lu Cang was about to strike again, whoosh!
Yin Kong disappeared.
He disconnected.
"Well……"
"Looks like I can't use it anymore."
Lu Cang had long anticipated this scene, and everyone knew that this moment was bound to come sooner or later.
However, seeing this scene, everyone was still somewhat disappointed.
The Hidden Origin Guild acted quickly, arriving at Hidden Kong's house in ten minutes and disconnecting him from the game.
How can you not feel disappointed when a gold coin monster that could generate endless wealth is gone?
To paraphrase a fearless warrior, if you give him a monster like that to stab, he can stab from day to night, working overtime 24 hours a day without rest.
Taking a break is disrespectful to money.
20 million! If I were to work normally, even the bravest person doesn't know if they could earn 20 million in their lifetime.
Even if he only gets a small share of the 3 billion, and the 1.5 billion is split equally among everyone, he can still get 500 million.
This immense wealth is something a college student could never dream of.
If someone tells him before he plays this game that he can make money this way, he will only suspect that the person is either Qin Shi Huang (the first emperor of China) or is after his kidneys.
After Yin Kong disappeared, Lu Cang directly selected [Star Deficiency] from his contacts.
He did add this friend, because if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to withdraw the money he'd earned.
Not a talkative person.
Without any preamble, Lu Cang directly sent over the recorded video.
【Azure Sky】: "Video File, 152 times".
Xingque has just come out of the dungeon.
They made a mistake in the dungeon, which led to their team being wiped out. After all, he wasn't part of the starting team or a professional player, so failing the dungeon is normal.
Upon exiting, I saw a message from the heavens.
"video?"
"Did they kill Yin Kong? They acted really fast."
"What does 152 mean...?"
Xingque could never have guessed the meaning behind this number.
After all, this couldn't possibly be the number of times Yin Kong had been killed, could it?
Xingque didn't think much of it and forwarded the video to the guild group, then opened and watched it.
