Chapter 753: a.s.sa.s.sin
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After ending the call with Han Tianyu, Jiang Fei thought silently for a while. There was a lot that he needed to attend to. One of the things that concerned him was the impending war between China and the major rice-exporting country. The battle against the mutant army was undoubtedly of utmost priority.
In order to fight against the mutant army, Jiang Fei needed to strengthen his capabilities. As such, he needed to create Bio-Humans to expand his powers. However, creating Bio-Humans required energy and souls. While Jiang Fei never stopped searching for the engine room and could always find energy sources, souls were another matter completely.
0541 had set a target for Jiang Fei where the Artificial Intelligence souls must truly fall in love with Jiang Fei before it could bring them into the real world.
That meant that merely relying on the Infatuated state of Reputation in the game was not sufficient. Jiang Fei needed to deepen his relations.h.i.+p with these ladies until they truly fell for him.
Flirting with women might sound like an enjoyable activity. However, doing it with tens or hundreds of them at the same time was not easy.
Although rich men and even emperors in ancient times had multiple wives and concubines, not many of these women truly loved these men. In fact, the women probably loved the wealth and power more than the men themselves.
However, based on 0541’s target, such women would not be suitable products. Only those who truly fell for Jiang Fei would be qualified to be brought into the real world.
As such, Jiang Fei felt greatly pressured by the high level of difficulty. Despite owning the t.i.tle of Romeo, making twenty women fall in love with him in one week was still a very difficult challenge.
Therefore, Jiang Fei cringed each time he thought of trying to accomplish the task.
“0541, can we make this easier, please?” Jiang Fei asked.
“No! It is against the 819 code. Your request has been denied!” 0541 answered mechanically.
“Darn!” Jiang Fei knew there was no point in trying to negotiate. If 0541 spoke in its usual tone, Jiang Fei might still be able to make a bargain. However, if 0541 answered in its mechanical tone, that meant there was no possibility of changing its decision.
“Ahh! Once I’m done creating the Bio-Human army, I’ll be able to insult Han Tianyu for being an amateur womanizer!” Jiang Fei murmured to himself.
All this while, Han Tianyu had claimed to be a great womanizer. He always made fun of Jiang Fei for being inexperienced in romance. However, Jiang Fei believed that if he could win over the hearts of so many women, he was definitely much better than Han Tianyu.
After sorting things out at home, Jiang Fei logged into the game at ten o’clock at night.
As there was a match today, Jiang Fei first went to the PvP arena near the City of Sinners. Unfortunately, Jiang Fei was not able to meet an opponent with one of the Cauldrons of the Ancient Kingdom.
“Nevermind. I should spend time with the ladies!” Jiang Fei shook his head.
After walking out of the PvP arena, Jiang Fei had intended to head over to the Demon Dragon Fortress through the teleportation point in the City of Sinners. However, just as he was about to walk into the City of Sinners, his martial arts instincts told him something was amiss.
“Ehh?” Jiang Fei looked around. However, he did not notice anything unusual.
“Am I just being paranoid?’ Jiang Fei frowned as he continued walking toward the teleportation point.
-289,564!
+195,456
Ding!
Jiang Fei’s Health Points were suddenly reduced to zero. Thereafter, a golden light flashed over his body. The Token of the G.o.d of Crafts’ Undying Aegis had been activated.
“D*mn! There’s an a.s.sa.s.sin!” Jiang Fei was shocked. At the same time, he activated his Shadow Barrier.
Shadow Barrier: Allows you to block a single attack! You can block up to three attacks in a day!”
Jiang Fei did not use his Invincibility effect mainly because he was unsure if his opponent had Chaotic Attacks. If the opponent did have it or something similar, his Invincibility effect would be wasted and he might be killed instantly.
After activating Shadow Barrier, Jiang Fei immediately turned around to see who had a.s.saulted him.
“A Player?!” Jiang Fei frowned when he saw a figure in the distance.
Initially, Jiang Fei thought he had been a.s.saulted by a Light Faction’s Overlord boss. However, when he turned around, all he saw was a player running away at a very high speed.
The person moved extremely quickly. In fact, he was much faster than Jiang Fei who had signed nearly a hundred Love Contracts and had the speed boost from his Infatuated pa.s.sive effect. Jiang Fei could not even see the player’s name clearly.
Whoos.h.!.+
With a whistle, Jiang Fei summoned the Evol. Skygliding Dragon. It was not safe to remain on land. The a.s.sa.s.sin might return for a second a.s.sault.
“Cauldron of Agility?” Jiang Fei very quickly understood why the earlier incident had happened. The player must have acquired the Cauldron of Agility which provided him with 100,000 Agility points. That was why the player could deal such high damage and had an incredible movement speed.
“This is tough!” Jiang Fei frowned as he pondered about the ident.i.ty of the a.s.sa.s.sin.
It was as if the a.s.sa.s.sin existed to take Jiang Fei’s life. Although there were five Cauldrons of the Ancient Kingdom which provided one with main Attributes, and Jiang Fei had already acquired the Cauldrons of Intelligence and Spirit, the remaining Cauldrons of Strength, Agility and Vitality still remained in the hands of other players.
Jiang Fei feared the Cauldron of Agility the most. While the player holding the Cauldron of Vitality had a lot of Health Points and Defense, Jiang Fei eventually killed the player after he transform and was able to ignore his opponent’s Defense.
Similarly, although the player with the Cauldron of Strength had very high damage, Jiang Fei could still defeat the player with his advantages of high speed and ranged attacks. Moreover, the player with the Cauldron of Strength would not be able to survive against Jiang Fei’s painful attacks.
The only threat Jiang Fei was truly worried about was the a.s.sa.s.sin with the Cauldron of Agility. This a.s.sa.s.sin left no trace behind. Moreover, he could remain invisible and strike before Jiang Fei even realized he was there. Even if Jiang Fei chased after him while riding his dragon, Jiang Fei would not be able to keep up with the speed boost from 100,000 Agility points. The only way Jiang Fei could be fast enough to chase the a.s.sa.s.sin was if he completed the Dragon G.o.d’s quest which was to sign 10,000 Love Contracts.
Hence, Jiang Fei was now in a situation where he could potentially be killed by the a.s.sa.s.sin with the Cauldron of Agility, and he would not even be able to fight back.
“If the Cauldron of Agility is in the hands of an unknown a.s.sa.s.sin, and the Cauldron of Strength is with People Not People, then where would the Cauldron of Vitality be?” Jiang Fei mumbled to himself.
He only had two ways to overcome this obstacle. Firstly, he could sign 10,000 Love Contracts to boost his speed so that he could keep up with the a.s.sa.s.sin. Through this method, Jiang Fei would be able to defeat his opponent with his ranged attacks.
The second method was to acquire the Cauldron of Vitality. With the Cauldron of Vitality, the a.s.sa.s.sin would not be able to kill Jiang Fei instantly with one attack. As such, Jiang Fei would become undefeatable.
