Chapter 53



Xia Yao also noticed the trailer released by Tianyu Weibo.

When they were filming before, they were just standing in front of a green screen and didn't feel anything special. But after adding special effects in post-production, a beautiful gaming feel came out.

It is no exaggeration to say that, except for the young master Qin Yang, the seven amateur players including her have perfectly demonstrated the characteristics of their respective professions, and the effect is no worse than that of celebrity endorsements.

Xia Yao exited the video, and looking back at the day's hot searches, the affairs of Xu Zhixian, the vice chairman of the alliance, and the recently resigned president of Tianyu were completely exposed. Netizens launched quite fierce accusations against the three of them. The alliance also released a message at 3 am, stating that it would conduct a strict investigation of the entire Chinese club to prevent the Vermouth and WW incidents from happening again.

After hearing the news about the major reshuffle in China's e-sports circle, the WW2 team members far away in the United States burst into tears.

They can never return to the moment when they were the center of attention, but they are still comforted. At least, they finally admitted their mistakes and someone finally told them the truth. They no longer have to suffer from sleepless nights in fear, worrying that they will be sold by the club again in the next second. From now on, they can finally breathe freely and laugh freely.

Xia Yao logged into the game and immediately rushed to the Mercenary Guild to collect the search results and the clothing fragments.

The Sword Demon King only gave her two words in his reply, and then turned and went to the Gray Hotel.

Gray's Inn is not just an inn. The owner, Gray, also undertakes parcel delivery business. You only need to pay a certain amount of gold coins to send it. If you want it to be expedited, you can pay a little extra money and it will arrive on the same day.

Xia Yao put 100 gold on the table, and Gray immediately greeted her with a smile on his face.

"Miss, who should I send this to?"

Xia Yao wrote two words on the notebook.

On the other side, Wang Ya, who had just finished the dungeon with his teammates, suddenly found a black pigeon flying down from a high altitude with something hooked on its claws. He was about to take a closer look when he saw the pigeon release its claws and the package hit his face.

Wang Ya hurriedly took it and saw the word "Gray" engraved on the package. He wondered who would be so bored as to send him something, so he began to open it...

The moment he saw the item, Wang Ya suddenly froze. He quickly opened his backpack and enlarged the equipment to take a look. Sure enough, there was a piece missing from the bottom of his clothes.

His face turned pale instantly.

His teammates noticed that his face looked a little off and approached him to ask him about it. Wang Ya just made up a few words and left the scene in a hurry.

Bard Profession Hall.

Wang Ya handed the package to the person sitting in the upper seat.

Austin glanced at him lightly and said disdainfully, "Who told you to act so recklessly? You actually gave others a handle."

A line of cold sweat ran down Wang Ya's forehead, and he lowered his head humbly: "I was negligent."

Then he raised his head, his eyes full of help: "Lord Austin, what should I do?"

Austin didn't look at him, but played with the little snake in his hand. Suddenly, he pinched the snake's seven-inch position tightly. The little snake struggled desperately in his hand, and died completely after a while.

The crow was so frightened that he dared not say a word.

Suddenly, the person sitting on the table stood up and threw the dead snake in his hand towards him: "I think you should know what to do."

The crow looked at the dead snake lying motionless at his feet, and he himself fell into a state of stiffness.

He summoned up his courage and tried to reconcile again.

Who knew that the next second, a task would automatically refresh.

[Mission (Professional Hall): Kill the traitor Yin Yao in the city (Time limit: 24 hours)]

[Note: If the mission succeeds, you will become the chief heir of Austin in the Bard Hall; if the mission fails, a penalty of 500 gold and 20% of your current level of experience will be taken.]

When he saw the first half of the sentence, Wang Ya's eyes suddenly lit up, but when he looked back, the light went out in an instant.

The title of "Chief Successor" is really good. Which player in the eight professional halls doesn't want it?

But the problem is that this task is so damn difficult!

The other party is number one on the server's combat power list, so you ask him to assassinate her?

It's almost time for the sun to rise from the west.

But he had no choice.

The penalty for mission failure was very severe, and the 500 gold alone was enough to make him suffer.

If the game could be played again, Wang Ya swore that he would never join any crappy professional hall!

Back then, he joined without a second thought, just like any other poet player. But who would have thought that a quest accidentally triggered a hidden plotline? Since then, Austin has been summoning him like a devil, sometimes asking him to inquire about the news of Plague City, sometimes asking him to pay attention to the developments of the House of Scholars. Some time ago, he even upgraded it to let him track the developments of the number one player. Now it's even more exaggerated. He actually asked him, a mediocre little poet, to hunt down the number one player?

Wang Ya felt that he would go crazy sooner or later.

If I had known this, I would have rejected this hidden plot from the beginning.

But think about it, who can resist the temptation of hidden clues in the game?

What's more, the rewards Austin gave him were indeed more generous than those of other poet players. Others could only get 5,000 experience points for completing ordinary tasks, but he could get an increase of 10%-20%, and the same went for gold coins.

He was even more willing to do secret missions for Austin.

Now that I come to my senses, I feel that the whole mission is a complete PUA scheme. First, you are given a candy, then you are kicked, and after that you are coaxed casually.

Walking out of the Poet's Hall, Wu Ya sighed to the sky, hoping that God would bless him to complete this plot line as soon as possible. He never wanted to be tortured by Austen again.

Time passed quickly and it was night. After wandering around the city all day, Wang Ya finally ran into his target person.

The other party had just come out of the guild. There were many players on the guild street. After thinking about it, Wang Ya decided not to take action here, so he followed him all the way, ready to act according to the situation.

Unexpectedly, the other party's steps were extremely fast. After running out of a small alley, he flashed into a house.

The crow jumped out from the darkness and looked at the name on the doorplate: Ophelia.

It was probably a mission to accept an NPC, Wang Ya guessed, it shouldn't take long. He looked around furtively at the door for a few times, and confirmed that there were basically no players on this street. Then he crawled into the bushes next to him, waiting for the target to show up.

As a result, the wait lasted for 2 hours!

Wang Ya looked at the time in despair. Damn, he was offline right after entering!

Hmm? Offline?

Yes, if you go offline, your consciousness will be gone but your player character will be there. In this way, it will be easier for him to take action!

The fire of hope was instantly ignited.

Wang Ya slowly stood up and rubbed his legs which had become numb from squatting. He walked around to the side of the small house and hid under the windowsill. He peeked inside and found that there was no one in the living room.

This house has a total of three floors. If it is not on the first floor, it must be on the second floor. Wang Ya tried to open the window on the first floor, but found that it was locked from the inside. He cursed inwardly and had to climb up the water pipe next to him and crawl to the second floor like a worm.

Unexpectedly, the second floor was also empty.

Looking at the third floor, it was also empty.

Wang Ya was puzzled. How could a person disappear out of thin air?

Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly found that there was a small back garden behind the house. Because it was dim, he didn't notice it before. Wang Ya took a prop flashlight and shone it, and saw a door leading to the basement in the back garden.

The door was slightly open, and the target person must be inside.

Then go in and kill her by surprise!

The crow moved so quickly that he ran into the basement holding the fan.

The basement was pitch black, and it seemed that the other party had indeed gone offline. The tension in his heart immediately dissipated a lot. He explored inside step by step, and shone the flashlight from left to right in turn.

Workbench, test tubes, blueprints, cabinets, boxes, chairs...

Well, it seems like no one is there.

He stood there, hesitating whether to find the switch to light up the room.

At this time.

A chill instantly wrapped around his neck.

Damn, I was careless!

The crow wanted to fight back, but heard a cold voice behind his head.

"Why are you following me?"

Wang Ya only felt a chill behind her. It turned out that she had discovered that he was following her!

She deliberately hid here, waiting for him to take the bait!

His throat rolled up and down, and Wang Ya closed his eyes and said nothing.

The person behind him chuckled: "I can guess even without you saying it. You want to assassinate me, right?"

The crow continued to remain silent.

At worst, you will die and go directly to the resurrection point after death. You can escape and make the other party be put on the red list of murderers in the city. It's like killing two birds with one stone. How great.

Wang Ya thought he had a beautiful idea, but he didn't know that Xia Yao saw through his little thoughts at a glance.

Xia Yao put away the fan and smiled lightly.

The footsteps in my ears seemed to be going away.

Oh no! Wang Ya was shocked. By the time he realized what the other party was going to do, it was too late!

He rushed up the stone steps in the dark, but could only watch the light coming in from outside gradually become thinner and eventually disappear completely.

With a click.

The basement door was locked.

The crow wanted to cry but had no tears, and pounded the door frantically.

"Boss, I was wrong, please let me out!"

If he goes on like this, the mission will fail immediately once the time is up. He can't afford to lose 500 gold and 20% of his experience points! TT

After knocking on the door a few times and finding it very quiet outside, Wang Ya was completely desperate. He sat down on the top step and became a salted fish without any emotions.

"I shouldn't have done this, absolutely shouldn't have done this, and most of all, I shouldn't have accepted that wicked old man's mission." He vented in frustration, "What a bullshit plot! I'm done with this. I'll punish you if you want. At worst, I can just cancel my account and start over. Yes, start over."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light laugh suddenly came from outside the door.

Wang Ya sat up quickly: "Boss, are you outside?"

After a pause, he changed his mind and said, "Boss, I won't assassinate you anymore. I'll just give up this mission. Please let me go~"

Outside: "You talk like you can kill me."

Desperate Crow: ...

That's right, he thinks too much.

Can he kill the number one on the list just because he wants to?

So he immediately changed his words: "Boss, you're right. I can't do anything to you anyway. What's the point of locking me up here? So..."

"I let you kill me."

The crow was stunned. What?

Outside: "I said, I let you kill, so that you can complete the task."

Wang Ya confirmed that he had heard correctly. He stood there for a few seconds, then laughed dryly, "Well, that boss... you don't have to worry about me. Although the punishment from the palace is a bit strict, I have decided to re-register my account. Boss, you don't have to be so..."

For a moment he couldn't find the right words to describe it.

Is he so kind? Or so understanding?

He searched frantically when a voice from outside the door interrupted him: "After canceling your Eternal Account, you are not allowed to log in again for 90 days. Are you sure?"

Delusion Crow: ...!

Damn, there is actually such a rule!

It was a bad idea.

Xia Yao squatted by the door and slowly communicated with the person inside: "I asked you to kill, not to help you, but to help myself."

Wang Ya was stunned again. What was going on?

"Boss, I...actually don't quite understand what you're talking about."

Xia Yao: "You are from the Professional Hall, and I am from the Scholars' Academy. Do you understand?"

A temple of professions, a house of scholars...

The crow lowered his eyes and muttered.

Suddenly, he asked in disbelief, "Boss, are you saying that the Poets' Hall is targeting you?!"

"Not stupid."

Astonished, Wang Ya recalled the previous missions he had completed: investigating the Scholar's House, investigating Ashaya, and investigating her. He had never figured out the purpose of this hidden plot until this moment. When he thought of her words, Wang Ya suddenly woke up from his dream and whispered a warning: "Boss, you better be careful. Austin might have been targeting you for a long time."

"Austin?"

"Oh, Austin is the mentor of the Poet's Hall, responsible for issuing us daily professional tasks." Wang Ya explained.

Xia Yao thought for a moment and asked, "What was the first mission you took?"

For some reason, Wang Ya inexplicably let down his guard against this big guy. He touched his nose and recalled, "The first one is to investigate Plague City."

"Plague City?" Xia Yao raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, he asked me to go to the city to find an NPC named Bazel." Wang Ya said while shaking his head, "But I ran all over the city and couldn't find him."

"Then what?"

"Then I'd have to go back empty-handed. Strangely enough, after hearing that Bazel wasn't in town, Austin was very happy and declared my mission a success."

Of course, Wang Ya couldn't find Bazel, Xia Yao thought, because only by getting the first kill in the Plague City dungeon and triggering the hidden memories from the important character Ferdinand, could he discover Bazel's existence.

Bazel is an exorcist poet, Austen is a troubadour, both are poets, but the latter is happy in the absence of the former.

Thinking of her hidden profession as an exorcist poet, Xia Yao sighed in her heart. Oh my god, she was forced to be involved in their fight.

Xia Yao did not tell Wang Ya about Basel, but used the key to unlock the door.

The crow heard a creaking sound behind him and quickly turned around.

The cold feeling he had felt before was still vivid in his mind. After meeting the determined eyes outside the door, he subconsciously shrank his neck.

Fortunately, he didn't really attack like an idiot, otherwise he would have been chopped into pieces. Wang Ya was very grateful in his heart.

Suddenly, he saw the person opposite him start to take off his clothes.

He quickly covered his eyes and said, "Boss, you can't do that!"

He admitted that he was quite good-looking, but he wasn't so handsome that he would have to take off his clothes the first time he met her!

Xia Yao looked at him speechlessly. With this IQ, he still carried out assassination missions? Austin really thought too highly of this guy.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Take off your gear, or you'll kill me."

This way she will only drop experience points and no equipment.

Wang Ya's throat was choked up, and he looked up at the sky awkwardly: "Oh, so that's how it is, hahaha..."

"Okay, let's get started."

After stripping down to his original white clothes, Wang Ya stared at the man in front of him. To be honest, he no longer had the courage to kill anyone.

He raised his weapon tremblingly: "Boss... do you really want me to... that you?"

He might as well just die.

If the people of Sword and Rose knew that he had killed their president, God knows how he would survive in the future.

However, the other party gave him a murderous look, and Wang Ya made up his mind and thought, "Let's do it!"

Puff, snap, swish...

Weapons hit the body, and various sound effects continued to be heard.

After attacking her more than ten times in a row, Wang Ya thought that it was almost over, but when he looked at her health bar, he found that it was only one third left!

What happened to the saying that poets don't have thick blood? How come her blood is as thick as a city wall!

And he wasn't even wearing any equipment, who was he insulting?

Wang Ya felt extremely embarrassed. In order to shorten the time of his embarrassment, he stepped up his output. Finally, after the 21st strike, the top man on the list fell to the ground.

He was breathing heavily and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his face.

The task bar reminded him that it was time to go back and hand in his work.

But the boss's body was still there, and it seemed that he had no intention of resurrecting. Wang Ya didn't dare to leave and had to stay there.

Suddenly, a line of words popped up on her body.

[When you return to hand in the quest, tell Austin that you found Bazel. If he asks you for details, ask him to tell you more inside information, and then make up a story for him.]

Delusion Crow:?

What a guy playing Mission Impossible.

No, boss, are you sure my IQ and acting skills are good enough?

As if she could read his inner thoughts from his cracked expression, Xia Yao lay on the ground and typed another line of words quietly: [It’s okay, I believe you]

Delusion Crow:!

The key is that he doesn't believe in himself!
