Chapter 81
[You have been upgraded!] 】
[Your current level is lv.35]
Su Xingyuan added the extra 10 free attribute points to [Physical Strength].
Since he had not actually increased his physical strength much from the beginning till now, once the ten points of physical strength were added, Su Xingyuan immediately felt a lot more relaxed all over.
For Su Xingyuan, killing these monsters was just the last blow. He got the heads very easily without spending any energy at all. Now the situation was even better. He looked at the mini-map to see if there was anything else he could miss.
On the small map, the red hostile forces have disappeared completely, and in reality, corpses are scattered all over the ground near the Hunter Exchange Conference.
Su Xingyuan put the knife back into the sheath, jumped lightly from the pile of corpses, and landed smoothly.
Around him, countless members of the Hunter Association were busy collecting the corpses, ensuring that no part was left out.
"Xingyuan Hunter!"
Suddenly someone shouted from behind. Su Xingyuan turned around and found that they were the ordinary hunters who were no longer in a hurry to leave for refuge after seeing him appear.
There was surprise on their faces, as if it was a great happiness to be able to meet him and have him come back.
However, when they really looked at Su Xingyuan's face, their expressions immediately became strange. They forced themselves to continue watching while looking strange. Su Xingyuan even saw someone quietly turned away and vomited.
Su Xingyuan: “?”
Are you polite?
Along with them were those strong reporters who refused to leave no matter how great the risk.
The black-haired hunters usually run around everywhere and can't be found at all. They finally got this opportunity and threw out all kinds of problems.
"Excuse me, is Miss Leafa someone you know? Or did you just make her up? Why did you use Miss Leafa's face and identity?"
"May I ask if you have any intention of joining any force now?"
"The most recognized hunter in the country is Fu Duoxing. Do you think this is true?"
"Did you already know what happened today, so you came here to protect the civilians?"
Everyone was anxious until a famous reporter asked this question in a trembling voice:
"That... that face before, was it really created by you?"
null.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Even the sounds of people talking disappeared, as if at this moment the surroundings had become a vacuum environment and not a single sound could be heard.
People nearby stopped what they were doing. Some looked at Su Xingyuan with distorted expressions, while others covered their heads on the spot and squatted down in pain. Even the reporters avoided his gaze and couldn't help trying to look away from Su Xingyuan's face.
To be fair, the black-haired boy had an extremely handsome face, with red lips, white teeth, slightly upturned emerald green cat eyes, and two iconic moles under his eyes, which not only did not ruin his face, but instead added a unique temperament.
Because of this face, as soon as Su Xingyuan became an S-level hunter and was exposed to the public, he surpassed the extremely popular Xu Banmeng and Fu Duoxing and became the number one in the hunter appearance rankings, with many fans.
But now, many people have painfully discovered that they can no longer look him in the eye.
When they saw his face, they would think of his smooth transformation from a blonde girl to a black-haired hunter, and when they thought of this process, they would think of Leafa's unforgettable face before her injuries were repaired.
The dark-haired hunter considered their reactions.
The dark-haired hunter suddenly realized.
He said very cheerfully: "You must have not seen the face before, so you feel very sorry?"
"?? No no no we didn't--"
"I understand your feelings very well, and I'm also sorry that face can't stay forever."
The black-haired hunter seemed not to have heard what they said at all and continued talking to himself.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, they soon discovered that it was too early to relax.
The black-haired hunter grinned: "Don't worry, if there is such an opportunity in the future, I will definitely not be stingy in showing myself."
"puff!"
Ning Baiquan, who had just stopped to drink a sip of water, was so busy that he spat out the water.
Deputy Commander Ning, who was always very rigorous, was choked and coughed continuously, and the muscle at the end of his eyebrow kept twitching.
Su Xingyuan asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you, Deputy Chief Ning? I know you are very happy, but you shouldn't be so happy, right?"
Hearing these words, Ning Baiquan, who had just barely stopped coughing and wanted to take a breath, couldn't catch his breath again.
——What a fun thing! !
Ning Baiquan had never felt so speechless before. He had practiced Tai Chi with extremely smart people, confronted extremely sinister people, and even negotiated terms with extremely rampant hunters.
But only Su Xingyuan could give him the feeling that his breath was stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down.
Thinking about it this way, the black-haired boy is indeed extraordinary and unique in the Hunter Association and even in the entire world, which fits his special identity as a savior, which is different from ordinary people.
…
No, thinking like this not only didn't make me feel better, but it made my heart attack worse.
Ning Baiquan decided to let him go. He calmly ordered, "Fang Mujian, step out."
Fang Mujian who was trying to escape: "..."
He just knows it! !
But in front of the media, just as Ning Baiquan was in a high position and could not say anything, as the person pointed out by the Hunter Association, Fang Mujian represented the attitude of the Hunter Association and could not say much.
Therefore, even though this was the umpteenth time he had tried to escape in vain, Fang Mujian could only try his best to smile, ignore the strange face in his head, and step forward to stop the reporters.
"The on-site handling work has not been completed yet. Please be patient. The Hunter Association will hold a press conference later to inform everyone of the whole story."
"Then, can I ask for an autograph from the hunter Su Xingyuan?"
A child's voice asked timidly, and Su Xingyuan looked over and saw it was a little girl.
She obviously didn't dare to look up at Su Xingyuan's face, but she still stood firm holding a book and a pen, trying to get the signature of a black-haired hunter.
It was just a signature. Su Xingyuan smiled and said, "Okay."
"What's your name? I can give you a signature."
"My name is Feng Xi."
The parent behind the girl was afraid of causing trouble to Su Xingyuan, so he quickly patted the girl on the shoulder and gave the black-haired hunter a somewhat ingratiating smile.
Su Xingyuan nodded, took the pen and book, wrote it down in two strokes, and handed it to her.
It seemed that the crowd was getting excited again because of the black-haired hunter being so friendly. Even though that embarrassing face kept flashing back in their minds, they still kept shouting Su Xingyuan's name.
To be honest, Su Xingyuan was a little surprised.
Reputation systems exist in other games as well, but even if they are upgraded to the highest level, they only make things easier, and players rarely see such a crowd-filled scene.
But in a holographic game with many NPCs and a high level of intelligence, obviously anything can happen. Su Xingyuan can even quit his job and become a star with this unique face.
…
etc.
Fang Mujian, who was dealing with reporters, just turned around and saw the black-haired boy with an expression as if he had some new idea. His eyelids twitched immediately.
But it was too late now. He could no longer stop the black-haired boy from saying those words -
"What do you think about me becoming an idol?"
“…”
The whole audience was silent again.
“…Are you serious???”
Fang Mujian's eyes widened. He looked at the innocent expression of the black-haired boy in disbelief, but found that the other party seemed to be serious.
"You are an S-rank hunter. You have the status, strength, identity, and wealth. Why do you want to be an idol?!"
Fang Mujian was really stimulated. If he had not been so knowledgeable now, he would probably have grabbed Su Xingyuan by the collar and shook him to ask him what he thought.
You know, how many people have tried their best to stimulate their abilities and join the ranks of hunters, but ended up in failure, or made no progress all year round due to the limitation of their talents.
There were many low-level hunters who were distraught and crying after the daily level assessment.
Take Fang Mujian himself for example. Although he is a social animal, he is also an ambitious social animal.
He constantly stimulated his potential, practiced his control over magic, explored the limits of his abilities, and finally became an A-rank hunter, which all took a lot of effort.
As a result, Su Xingyuan is so talented and powerful, and his speed of becoming stronger is like a rocket, and he actually wants to enter the entertainment industry...
Fang Mujian felt like he was suffocating just thinking about it.
He calmed down and asked calmly, "Can you sing?"
Su Xingyuan shook his head honestly: "No."
Fang Mujian: "Can you dance?"
Su Xingyuan: “I don’t know.”
Fang Mujian was ecstatic: "If you can't sing or dance, you can't be an idol."
The black-haired hunter groaned, and his smile gradually brightened: "If being an idol doesn't work, then being an actor should be okay, right?"
Fang Mujian was about to retort when he thought of the black-haired hunter's acting, which made it hard to tell whether he was being sarcastic or not: "..."
It seems to be really feasible...?
Seeing Fang Mujian strangely silent, the reporters were shocked and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Su Xingyuan is not going to be a hunter anymore?"
"Is it because the hunter's job is too dangerous?"
"Is it because your work intensity is too high and you have no time for entertainment..."
Fang Mujian came to his senses immediately after hearing these words and forced himself to suppress the desire to refute directly.
Too much work to entertain yourself?
This sentence can be used on him, but it should not be used on Su Xingyuan.
They are so happy that they jump up and down every day. I wonder if in a family, who is more tired, the naughty child or the nanny who has to clean up the baby's butt all the time?
Fortunately, the black-haired hunter had no interest in answering the questions. He just turned his head, and Fang Mujian immediately stopped the reporters again.
The man's face darkened. He glanced at the reporter and said, "This area will be temporarily under martial law. Please leave, otherwise the Hunter Association will take coercive measures."
The Hunter Association is a special official organization. Of course they dare to expel these reporters directly, even if the means are rough.
Just like this time, in order not to alert the enemy and expand the public opinion effect, the nearby hunters were not alerted even until the monster was exposed.
Although Fang Mujian was a little bit dissatisfied, he was Ning Baiquan's subordinate, and no matter what, he would obey Ning Baiquan's orders.
Ning Baiquan was well aware that some things could not be done perfectly, so he would decisively sacrifice some things for certain purposes. At the same time, he was under great pressure. It could be said that Su Xingyuan's coincidental appearance actually reduced his pressure.
He heaved a sigh of relief after finally finding out that except for three people in the Hunter Association's action team who were injured, no ordinary people were injured or killed.
Ning Baiquan turned his head and found that the black-haired boy had already left with Fang Mujian.
Of course, he also heard what Su Xingyuan said before.
Could it be that, besides beheading, this guy finally has other hobbies?
Deputy Director Ning pondered for a moment.
Compared to hobbies like killing, liking acting is nothing, all of which are small problems. If Su Xingyuan really likes it, he can arrange it immediately.
Unconsciously, Deputy Chief Ning once again forgot about the troubles that Su Xingyuan had caused and thought like this.
On the other side, Fang Mujian had already taken him out of the martial law area.
"You just came out of the door and ran into this. Haven't you rested yet? I'll invite you to try the food at the restaurant downstairs from my house. The barbecue there is really good."
Thinking that he and Su Xingyuan had met several times and that he was the person most familiar with him in the Hunter Association, but they had never had dinner together, Fang Mujian made this suggestion.
And...has Su Xingyuan really eaten anything?
Fang Mujian flipped through his memories, but no matter how carefully he thought about it, he just couldn't understand how Su Xingyuan managed to recover his strength during such a high-intensity schedule - yes, he worked so hard that he didn't even have time to eat.
The only times I saw him eat, it was always small portions of dessert.
Thinking of this, the person next to me suddenly became even more unfathomable.
Su Xingyuan readily agreed: "Okay."
Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, Fang Mujian straightened his expression and said, "I just saw you signing an autograph for a little girl."
Su Xingyuan tilted his head slightly to express his doubts.
Fang Mujian sighed: "If it was seven years ago, you were free to write your name wherever you wanted. But now, no one knows who has awakened what abilities."
"Hunters need to fight, and getting injured and leaving blood is unavoidable, but most hunters will try to avoid handing their handwritten names to unknown people."
A person's name accompanies him from the day he is born and is recognized by himself. It is also an indispensable part of how people around him identify him, get to know him, and form a bond with him. It can be said to have unique significance.
Not to mention a name written by hand, which often serves the purpose of concluding a contract.
The world is full of wonders. How do you know if the name you wrote with your own hands will fall into the hands of a hunter who can use it?
After explaining and emphasizing the importance of the matter, Fang Mujian was not panicked. He obviously did not think that such an unlucky thing would happen to Su Xingyuan.
The black-haired boy fell into deep thought.
The black-haired boy said in a light voice: "Since you've said it now, there's a high probability that there's something wrong with the signature."
Fang Mujian: "......? Huh?"
He didn't react for a moment.
The black-haired man sighed softly and said solemnly: "This is the malice of the world against players."
Fang Mujian: “?”
What world? What is it targeting? What player?
He wouldn't start treating the world as a game and other people as NPCs again, would he?
However, Fang Mujian quickly changed his mind -
What the black-haired hunter meant was that there was most likely an existence outside this world that was threatening the safety of the savior, and that had great ill will towards him, and was using special means to bring such misfortune upon him.
Fang Mujian's heart was shaken. He had always trusted Su Xingyuan, and now he felt something was wrong: "Let's go back and find her."
The man felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but blame himself for his carelessness. If Ning Baiquan was there at the time, taking into account the special situation of Su Xingyuan and the degree of hatred he attracted, he would probably have stopped the little girl directly.
“No hurry.”
A hand reached out and stopped him from turning the steering wheel.
The black-haired boy smiled and said, "I did give her my autograph, but I didn't tell her that I gave her my real name."
Players lead very cautious lives outside of the game, and it will take some time for them to change this habit inside the game.
Although he had been able to let himself go completely at this point in the game, when signing, out of subconscious caution and arbitrary behavior, he did not sign his real name.
The black-haired boy spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "If she and her parents are really my admirers, then that signature can be proven to be mine."
The hunter's tone became flat, without any emotion, and even seemed a little inhuman and cold.
“But if you have other ideas… you can’t do anything big with just that signature.”
At this time, in an abandoned warehouse.
The little girl was forcibly dragged out of the car and pushed into the warehouse door.
Her face was pale, and she held a signature tightly in her hand, as if she felt that by holding it, she could draw a little strength from it, or even hear the voice of that powerful hunter and get his protection.
However, before she could take a closer look, the signature was suddenly taken away by the "parent" who had just followed her. Because the speed was too fast, a cut was immediately made on the girl's tender little hand.
“Xixi!” Not far away, the man who was tied up looked at the scene with tears in his eyes: “You are her biological mother after all… You actually took advantage of—”
Before he could finish his words, a man in a black suit kicked him decisively.
He looked respectable in a black suit, but his moves were powerful and ruthless.
"Stop talking nonsense! What do you know, you loser? We have all dedicated our lives and souls to the great Lord of Hell. We are carrying out a supreme mission! It is her honor to use her!"
“Dad, Dad, don’t hit him... wuwuwu…” The girl was frightened and immediately ran over to protect the man who was covered in bruises.
The woman who looked so gentle just now didn't care at all. Her goal had been achieved anyway.
She looked at the signature in her hand with pride. The girl had been holding it tightly in her arms before. Because of Su Xingyuan's supernatural reputation, she was afraid of being discovered and had been in a state of tension. Only now did she have the mood to check the spoils.
She had vaguely seen the word "宿" before, and now she said without any doubt: "I said that no one would guard against a weak mother and daughter. Even if the plan fails, we have gained something else..."
She paused.
The smug look on his face froze in an instant.
I saw that on the notebook where the three characters "Su Xing Yuan" should have been written - it didn't matter if it was written a little more complicated or a little more concise - the following words were being written in a flamboyant manner:
【Accommodation☆○】
woman:"……"
woman:"???"
The woman's eyes went dark, is it a star circle? Pleiades circle! Is this something a serious hunter would come up with when signing autographs for little kids who admire him? !
Could there be anyone more perfunctory than him?
She turned around in disbelief and walked to a place farther away from the other people. She tried using a more common curse ability, and nothing happened. She then used a more advanced ability, but it still didn't work.
This signature is totally useless!
She was so angry that her face almost twisted, and she couldn't help but start to worry that Su Xingyuan might have discovered something and did this on purpose. She immediately turned her head to look at the little girl who was far away from her and decided to continue the previous scene.
As long as they don't actually do anything, Su Xingyuan will never be able to trace them back!
However, this father and daughter are just ordinary people and are very easy to control. They will not tell the truth.
The woman took a deep breath and was about to call her accomplices to move out of the abandoned warehouse together and find a chance to contact their headquarters abroad, when she found that the atmosphere in the warehouse seemed a little wrong.
The smell of blood is a bit strong, isn’t it?
She suddenly turned her head to look at her accomplice, only to find that he was intact and even a little surprised by her reaction. She asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the signature?"
The woman frowned, shook her head, and said vigilantly: "Signing now is not important. Did you feel that there was a sudden strong smell of blood just now?"
The man glanced at the two people on the ground: "You mean them?"
He kicked the girl's father. The middle-aged man remained silent, while the girl raised her eyes and looked at him with fear and anger.
"Maybe I hit him a little too hard." He said indifferently.
Everything seemed normal and there was nothing special going on, so the woman gradually let go of her suspicions.
...I was actually scared like this by Su Xingyuan, that guy deserves to die!
The woman gritted her teeth, tore up the signature in her hand as if to vent, looked at the man, and said, "This mission is not over yet. You have to finish off these two people and don't let them show up again."
"Only then will I consider recommending you to join the association completely."
The man agreed immediately: "No problem!"
The woman didn't want to stay there any longer and quickly left the warehouse.
"Please... can you please kill me but spare my daughter? She is still young and she really doesn't understand anything..."
The middle-aged man was in tears. He raised his hand with all his strength and tried to pull the man's clothes, but was avoided.
He saw the man squatting down, and a voice that seemed a little different from before came out calmly: "Do you want to live in another world?"
The middle-aged man was shocked, almost thinking that this was a sign that the man was going to kill them, and hurriedly protected his daughter, looking at the hunter with unknown abilities who had just suddenly disappeared and suddenly reappeared.
"That sentence just now may be a little ambiguous."
The man blinked and removed a mask from his face.
The next moment, the originally ferocious face instantly turned into a smiling face of a young boy.
The girl's eyes widened slightly: "Brother Su Xingyuan...?"
"It's me." He said, "You can't act like normal people here for the time being. There are still many forces in the Demon King's City hiding underground."
"Considering living in another world? Literally."
