MMORPG: Martial Gamer

The inn’s boss was really good at keeping someone at bay. When the Assassin paid for the damage and walked out of the inn, Fearless was already nowhere to be seen.

“F*ck!”

That Assassin looked around, cursed and went into [Stealth] mode again.

Seeing the disappearance of the Assassin, Fearless, who was hiding on the rooftop, scratched his nose and sent a message to the guild, “Everyone, please be careful. I’ve just met an Assassin who seems to be out with the intention to kill us.”

“Tsk!” Everyone started mocking when they heard Fearless’ words, “Just look at your face of mockery! Anyone who sees you will want to punch you and that’s only natural instinct. Why are you making a big fuss?”

Fearless replied, “Stop fooling around. I’m serious and so is that fella. He even hid his own identity so I bet he is not just out to get me only.”

Just when everyone wanted to continue mocking Fearless, Vainglory suddenly sent a message, “F*ck! Fearless is right! I’ve just been killed by someone!”

“???!!!”

Seeing Vainglory’s message, everyone was flabbergasted.

Fearless was known for starting feuds with powerful enemies so it would be reasonable for him to be stabbed in the dark. Vainglory, on the contrary, might be a little arrogant at times but he was definitely one of the most harmless ones among the Quan Zhen Sect. If he was killed, this proved that someone was really out to deal with the Quan Zhen Sect.

“Who did this?” After being shocked, everyone hurried to ask.

“I have no idea…” Vainglory replied apologetically. “I saw a lady getting bullied so I tried to be a hero to save her but was somehow stabbed in the back by someone else.”

“Tried to be a hero??” Everyone frowned.

You can’t do that to a girl in the game so the only thing people yearned for in the game would be their equipment and weapons. Bullying a lady for no reason was evidently a trap… Even a gaming nerd like Wang Yu wouldn’t bother helping if he saw anything like that.

There were no laws or legal systems in the game so people in games were much more treacherous than in reality. A dumb child like Vainglory actually treated himself as the hero and filled his brain with unrealistic fantasies.

Fearless reprimanded, “Who taught you this kind of rubbish?”

“Brother Spring, ah…” Vainglory felt wronged.

Spring Halo was speechless for a while before defending himself, “How embarrassing can you get? Why don’t you just leave the group?!”

Just when everyone was taking turns to ‘educate’ Vainglory, yet another message was sent in the guild chat, “Eh? I’ve been killed too…”

Everyone hurriedly looked at the sender and realised that it was Ling Longmeng. At this moment, this lady was still in her dreams as she had no idea what had just happened.

“And how did you die?” Everyone questioned.

Ling Longmeng replied, “I was just walking around Trading Street and I saw a small stall selling ornaments… I walked over and was somehow killed.”

Tsk! Women are always going to be women and no matter where they go, they will never be able to kick their habit of looking at ornaments. It seemed like these killers had her on their radar for a while now.

“Shopaholic!” Just when everyone started blaming Ling Longmeng for her on death, they subconsciously looked around.

Not too long later, Frost Blade also sent a message, “I’ve been ambushed… And I didn’t manage to escape.”

“What happened to you?”

“I went to collect some materials… and I got blocked off on my way back.”

“F*ck!!”

…

Soon after, everyone else from the Quan Zhen Sect was met with an ambush.

With all the earlier warnings, everyone had their guards up which prevented those Assassins from succeeding.

In this period of time, the Quan Zhen Sect was constantly ambushed and three of them were killed. They couldn’t help but feel slightly fearful of the enemy.

Fortunately, this bunch of fellas from the Quan Zhen Sect were well-experienced in being ambushed. They knew that in such a circumstance, not moving would be the safest option. Therefore, all of them headed straight back to the office after being ambushed or killed.

“Is everyone back yet…”

When most of the players were gathered in the office, Fearless asked after looking around.

“Uncle Bull isn’t here yet…” Vainglory raised his hand to point that out.

“Right… I don’t remember seeing Old Bull’s comments when we were killed too.” Everyone else started responding when Vainglory mentioned Wang Yu.

Ming Du pouted his mouth, “F*ck! Do we even need to worry about Old Bull? Who dares to even find trouble with Old Bull?”

“True…” Everyone nodded.

Fearless furrowed his brows, “Regardless of whether someone found trouble with him, he should have responded to us. Why is he exceptionally quiet today? Unless he isn’t online?”

Fearless opened up his friend list and noticed that Wang Yu’s name was bright green.

“Online but not speaking?” Fearless sent a message over, “Old Bull, come for a meeting!”

However, the system replied with a polite message, “I’m sorry but this user is currently not in the same server…”

“Not in the same server?” Fearless frowned as he replied to the guild chat, “Old Bull seems to be doing his own quest. Since that is the case, let’s discuss this among ourselves. Either way, he doesn’t need us to worry about him.”

“That’s right!” Everyone agreed as they added, “It’ll be best if all of them can go try and kill Old Bull instead..”

The Quan Zhen Sect was basically obsessed with how strong Wang Yu was. If the Assassins dared to ambush Wang Yu, it was almost guaranteed that none of them would be able to return without getting killed.

Back to the main topic, Spring Halo was the first to pop the question, “Fearless, let’s hear it. What do you think is going on this time?”

Fearless shook his head, “I have no idea but I am certain that this time, our opponent is not going to be easy to deal with. The fact that they dared to take the first step to attack us meant that they came with a plan.”

From the innumerable succession of Assassins popping out to how each Assassin planned their ambush based on the unique characteristic of each one of them, it could be seen that the other party really understood every player in the Quan Zhen Sect well.

Not only did the enemies know so much about them, they even intentionally hid their identities. Whether in a game or in reality, the one in the dark will always be able to have the upper hand.

“Came with a plan?”

Everyone was curious, “Who did we offend recently?”

Fearless shook his head as he replied, “No one but looking at their methods, it should be an old rival! And a scheming old rival!”

“Older than you?”

This was truly a bunch of playful fellas. They still had the mood to taunt others at a time like this.

Fearless nodded, “About the same!”

“…”

Everyone became speechless because to be around the same standard as this malicious Fearless? Is this fella some kind of war strategist?

There was a clear distinction between the lives of ordinary players and professional players where no one crossed each other’s lives. No matter how much fun the Quan Zhen Sect loved to have in their daily lives, they wouldn’t want to offend these fellas.

Of course, if their opponents were truly professional experts… That would be slightly tricky.

After all, there was still a huge difference in strength between professionals and themselves.
