In Chapter 49: “I Have Already Remembered You!”
While White Fu was leisurely walking past the window of the inn sponsored by Jiujiao and others in the area called “Si Chu,” she sent a signal to the players.
She believed that the commotion caused by her earlier actions had definitely caught the attention of the hidden assassins and spies. If nothing went wrong, the new assassin would be watching her from the shadows, ready to jump out and take her down if she showed any weakness.
Of course, this was all White Fu’s speculation. She couldn’t be sure whether those assassins would really dare to act while Lin En was under lockdown in Si Chu.
Not all assassins were like the Makarov family, who always completed their tasks no matter what, even if it meant sacrificing themselves. Most assassins preferred to flee when things got dicey.
When assassins worked for money, having no life was useless if they had none.
After confirming that the player inside the inn had noticed her, White Fu returned to Xia Shi’s residence with Xia Shi and the others covering her.
Next came the waiting game.
She chatted with Xia Shi intermittently, mainly to get a deeper understanding of Xia Shi.
From their conversation, White Fu learned that Xia Shi grew up in a single-parent household, with her father being a senior leader at the Gene Progenitor Technology Bureau, making her a true scion.
However, Xia Shi had a major disagreement with her father after graduation regarding her career choice. Her father wanted her to join the Technology Bureau like him, but she, out of her hatred for the Truth Society, joined the Intelligence Bureau despite everyone’s advice.
To put it simply:
“I haven’t spoken to that old stubborn man for two months.”
White Fu nodded silently.
On the surface, Xia Shi seemed like a highly talented and privileged winner in life, but considering her probable significance as an important plot character or even the main protagonist in the main storyline of the Source Star, she was likely going to face significant challenges soon.
Such games rarely had protagonists who started strong and stayed strong until the end because it would leave players feeling detached. Players came to seek enjoyment, not to be treated like laborers and then scolded for still being around.
Once Xia Shi fell asleep, White Fu took action.
She sneaked out of the room, bypassing the guards whose positions were already confirmed, and headed straight to the inn.
Twenty minutes later.
Pai Da Xing, Guiyi Wofu, Jian Qi Chong Tian, and others left the inn one by one.
Once they were all in position, Jiujiao, dressed as White Fu, also walked out of the inn.
Jiujiao: [I’ve left the inn, feeling great]
Pai Da Xing: [Digging, it’s all up to your performance!]
Calamity Dragon: [Don’t worry about digging, I’ve been keeping watch upstairs. I’ll notify you immediately if anyone approaches]
Jian Qi Chong Tian: [Remember to look around at every intersection, pretending to check if someone is following you]
Jiujiao: [Yeah, I practiced in front of the mirror many times!]
Taking a deep breath, she moved slowly along the wall.
The streets were deserted under the night curtain, exuding a terrifying aura, but Jiujiao wasn’t afraid because she was listening to the song “Good Days” on repeat!
She had heard online that changing the jarring music from horror movies to cheerful tunes would significantly reduce the scare factor. Now it seemed to be working.
Under the influence of “Ah~ Today is a good day, everything I wish will come true,” even the vicious dogs darting across the road seemed less frightening.
“Maybe if I play ‘Good Days’ during battles, I won’t feel so nervous?”
Jiujiao dismissed the thought.
Killing people while playing “Good Days” could make others think she was playing some sort of game, which might lead to her stream getting banned.
While Jiujiao slowly made her way to the battlefield, Li Cheng was leisurely reading at home.
“Beep, beep, beep, beep.”
Suddenly, the walkie-talkie on the nearby round table emitted three short knocks.
The code was correct.
Li Cheng put down his book and picked up the walkie-talkie.
“What is it? Get to the point.”
The assassin on the other end anxiously said, “White Fu slipped out of her residence alone. We followed her, and she stopped outside an abandoned hospital. It seems she is talking on a communicator now.”
“!”
Li Cheng sat up straight.
He knew that White Fu was no ordinary person; she couldn’t have just suddenly awakened supernatural abilities by luck.
“Move quietly and try to figure out what she’s saying.”
“What if we get discovered?”
Li Cheng tapped the table with his finger, thinking for a moment with his eyes closed: “If we can capture her alive, do so. If not, kill her on the spot!”
Originally, he planned to play with White Fu and Si Chu for a while before acting, to better distract the Intelligence Bureau. But now, there was no need; White Fu sneaking out at night and getting killed or captured would be enough to cause chaos within the Intelligence Bureau.
“It would be best to capture her alive.”
Li Cheng narrowed his eyes, eagerly wanting to show White Fu the torture techniques of the Truth Society.
…
As professionals, the assassins quickly sprang into action after receiving orders.
They moved very cautiously and even used special abilities, but they never imagined that a player was using the built-in video recording feature from a distance to monitor them.
Do you understand what a telephoto lens that can see through pores looks like?
[They’re here! There are four of them!]
Calamity Dragon shouted in the squad channel.
All players tensed up, with the most excited being the five members of the Iron Rain Guild.
Jian Qi Chong Tian immediately switched to the guild channel: [Old Dog, prepare yourself!]
The player nicknamed “Old Dog,” also known as Dog Tou Ren, was a veteran of the Iron Rain Guild: [Don’t worry, with our strength and coordination, it’ll be easy to boost White Fu’s affinity level!]
Jian Qi Chong Tian placed his hand on the gun at his waist. He had waited too long for this moment. While crouching in the sewer earlier, he felt anxious, fearing that the people hiding in the dark watching White Fu wouldn’t reveal themselves, leading to another wasted night.
Although he usually appeared very confident in front of others, he actually bore considerable pressure.
As the guild leader, he wasn’t the only voice in the guild. Others supported his decision to join the Truth Society because they trusted him. He had to live up to that trust.
If his decision slowed the guild’s development, even if others didn’t blame him, the sponsors would have opinions.
Fortunately, his expectations hadn’t fallen flat. The four lurking bastards had indeed been lured out.
Now, he was just two steps away from success.
First, raise White Fu’s affinity level.
Second, find the Truth Society.
As for extracting information from White Fu, Jian Qi Chong Tian didn’t consider it a challenge.
Just as Dog Tou Ren said, White Fu would sacrifice herself for the safety of the abandoned cooling plant, disregarding her own heavy past. She was undoubtedly a saintly character. After gaining her trust, extracting information shouldn’t be difficult.
Jian Qi Chong Tian closely watched the game screen and reconnaissance results shared by Calamity Dragon, waiting for the four assassins to make the first move.
In the squad channel, Jiujiao asked: [Hey hey hey, if they attack, should I run or stand my ground?]
Pai Da Xing: [Running might arouse suspicion. Try to delay them as much as possible. Once Fu Fu receives the message and comes, everything will be fine.]
Before Jiujiao could reply, a chilling coldness suddenly attached to her neck like ice.
Her heart raced. In an instant, not only her back but also her vision was swallowed by darkness. All the lights around disappeared.
[You are eroded by darkness, failed judgment, your vision -100%]
[You are entangled by shadows]
Two alerts sounded in quick succession.
Jiujiao realized the problem but it was too late. A sharp object pressed against her lower back, and a gentle female voice whispered in her ear.
“Little girl, don’t move. Otherwise, my dagger might pierce your kidney.”
Jiujiao struggled hard to keep her body from trembling and quickly asked in the squad channel: [What’s happening? I couldn’t see clearly]
Calamity Dragon frowned: [I saw that woman melt into shadow. When she reappeared, she was behind you. What a powerful skill!]
With superpowers, things were getting complicated.
But this didn’t discourage the players. Come on, she even showed her health bar!
[Notify Fu Fu, Jiujiao should try to extract information. We’re coming over]
[Got it]
Everyone sprang into action. Meanwhile, White Fu, who had been hiding in the inn, received a reminder from the player acting as her communication officer.
“Those assassins actually have superpowers? No wonder the quest rewards are so high.”
White Fu felt her blood boiling.
It’s great to be strong. Stronger players get higher rewards for defeating them.
She opened the door. The inn was several streets away from the abandoned hospital where Jiujiao was, but the distance was insignificant to her now.
After unlocking the [Marksman] profession and reaching level 5, her stats became:
[Stats]: Strength 11, Agility 12, Constitution 47, Intelligence 5, Spirit 19, Inspiration 23
She also unlocked two new skills.
[Basic Shooting Expertise]: +10% shooting accuracy
[Precise Shooting Lv3]: +6% shooting accuracy, +3% critical hit rate for ranged attacks
While 12 points of agility weren’t as impressive as elite agents or assassins, it was more than enough for urban travel.
The 16% improvement in shooting accuracy from the two new skills was enough to significantly increase her chances of hitting targets from 20 to 30 meters away.
“Let’s go!”
White Fu charged into the night.
On the other side, the female assassin holding a knife to Jiujiao tried to ask about the killer’s origin, but the female assassin ignored her and began handcuffing her.
There was no other option.
Jiujiao suddenly lifted her right foot and stomped heavily on the female assassin’s foot.
The female assassin had anticipated this and moved her foot to the side, narrowly avoiding Jiujiao’s stomp.
“Little girl, you’re being disobedient. Since that’s the case, I’ll have to teach you a lesson.”
She stabbed Jiujiao’s back, positioning the blade carefully to cause pain without causing fatal blood loss.
But the female assassin didn’t expect Jiujiao to break free from her bindings as if nothing had happened.
She turned, drew her gun, and fired in one fluid motion.
Surprised? I didn’t turn off pain!
The female assassin’s neck jerked. Though she dodged quickly, the sudden burning sensation on her neck continued to torment her.
“You’re asking for death!”
She prepared to stab Jiujiao.
The other three assassins hiding in the dark rushed forward: “Calm down, the employer wants her alive.”
“How am I supposed to calm down…”
Before the female assassin could finish, multiple gunshots rang out from the shadows, forcing her to stop.
“There’s an ambush!”
The four assassins’ faces changed. They quickly dispersed, realizing that the hidden attackers were not skilled marksmen. They breathed a sigh of relief, but underestimated their opponents again.
While the individual player strength was inferior, the players had numerical superiority and support from Calamity Dragon on the rooftop.
What would happen when four skilled assassins faced off against a dozen fearless rookies with full map vision?
“Why are bullets coming from this place?”
“How did they find me?”
“How many are they?”
“Damn, I got shot in the butt!”
The four assassins in the dark grew increasingly anxious. Their opponents remained silent, firing coldly. For a moment, they felt like civilians while their opponents were the real killers.
The female assassin gritted her teeth, focusing on the fallen Jiujiao. Perhaps controlling “White Fu” as bait was their only way to escape.
“I’ll suppress their fire. You take the woman hostage.”
Her body turned into shadow and vanished. The remaining three assassins started dodging bullets and closing in on Jiujiao.
After a chaotic struggle, one of the assassins rolled towards Jiujiao and pointed his gun at her forehead, shouting: “Stop! Or I’ll kill her now!”
The response was even heavier gunfire.
Bang bang bang!
Bullets rained down on Jiujiao and the assassin, who died with wide eyes, bewildered by the ambush.
The female assassin, who had just used her superpower to eliminate a player, was stunned.
Fighting such lunatics was pointless!
She just wanted to run.
But before she could move, Jian Qi Chong Tian appeared out of nowhere.
Iron Rain Guild saw this as their stage to shine. They were fully committed!
What if the opponent was strong? Even if they could only stall for seconds before dying, as long as it bought time for White Fu to arrive, their sacrifices would be worth it.
For White Fu’s affinity, charge!
One member of Iron Rain Guild charged out, then two, then three…
They shouted as they ran.
“Dare to assassinate Fu Fu, I’ll send you to hell right now!”
“Die, die, die, anyone opposing Fu Fu dies!”
“Damn it, daring to target Fu Fu.”
The female assassin was stunned. This scene made her think she had stumbled into a fan meeting.
Wait, if you respect White Fu so much, why did you shoot her randomly?
Pai Da Xing and others were equally baffled.
Holy crap, Iron Rain Guild is also a huge supporter of Fu Fu? Unexpected! Guiyi Wofu wondered if his support for White Fu was insufficient, especially since he didn’t charge out like the Iron Rain Guild members to block the three assassins.
The female assassin stabbed the nearest player’s heart. Before she could deal with the next one, she was shocked to see the stabbed player tightly grabbing her leg.
How could she still be alive?
“Get lost!”
She kicked the player away and turned into shadow, appearing behind Jian Qi Chong Tian.
Detecting danger, Jian Qi Chong Tian burst with energy and slammed his elbow into the female assassin’s abdomen. This move came swiftly, forcing the female assassin to block with her right hand.
“Hit… Wait, no!”
Jian Qi Chong Tian didn’t have time to celebrate. The female assassin conjured multiple illusions, and one of the blades swept across his chest, drawing a large amount of blood.
Damn, she’s too strong. Impossible to beat.
Jian Qi Chong Tian didn’t give up. His voice grew louder.
“Since you’re here tonight, as long as I’m still breathing, you won’t escape. I won’t let you harm White Fu anymore!”
“By you?”
The female assassin sneered.
The next second, a bullet struck her left arm from the darkness.
Ugh.
The female assassin groaned, trying to see who was ambushing her. When she finally saw the face of the person emerging from the darkness, her heart sank.
It was White Fu!
This meant they had truly walked into a trap!
Without hesitation, White Fu fired at the female assassin, who spat.
Tonight, killing was impossible, but no one could stop her from escaping!
She transformed into shadow, but unlike before, she headed straight for the rooftop.
“Hmph, trying to escape?”
White Fu wasn’t worried.
The female assassin’s superpower was indeed powerful, but she made a mistake—she shouldn’t have gone up.
At the moment the female assassin reached the rooftop, White Fu used combat etiquette against her.
This time, White Fu stood still, firmly planted. But the female assassin was standing on empty air.
“You… Ah!”
The female assassin plummeted from the thirty-meter-high rooftop. As she landed, White Fu fired six shots at her head, disfiguring her face beyond recognition.
[You killed Shadow Serpent, contribution 94.2%, experience gained 6594 points after level difference adjustment]
White Fu looked at Pai Da Xing, Jian Qi Chong Tian, and others.
Honestly, she was a bit surprised. She didn’t expect the leader of a large guild to be her fan and perform so valiantly in battle. Her charm must be extraordinary.
She nodded and quickly charged toward the other assassins.
Pai Da Xing, Jian Qi Chong Tian, and others watching the scene couldn’t help but open their mouths in shock.
When did White Fu become so powerful?
Right, it’s due to injuries. Her injuries must have improved, restoring some of her strength!
Jian Qi Chong Tian felt elated.
Tonight’s performance had filled up White Fu’s affinity level, and his plan was well on its way.
“Hahaha!”
In that instant, Jian Qi Chong Tian imagined the massive amount of White Fu’s affinity he would gain from tonight’s actions, then using that to extract valuable information from Anya, and finally joining the Truth Society, gaining their favor, and propelling Iron Rain Guild to become the top guild in the game, ensuring his name would be remembered in online gaming history.
In the following time, White Fu, together with the surviving players, eliminated another assassin. She deliberately let the last one escape.
Of course, not chasing didn’t mean she didn’t have players secretly tailing him.
“Damn it, damn it, where did this freak White Fu come from?”
The surviving assassin broke out in cold sweat. He had been shot in the buttocks, but that saved him. By constantly dodging, he managed to escape the encirclement.
Now, he didn’t want to continue the mission.
“I have crucial intelligence that must be told to you in person.”
After contacting Li Cheng via walkie-talkie, the surviving assassin proceeded cautiously. It took over twenty minutes before he met Li Cheng.
“What’s the matter? Don’t you know it’s a special period?”
“See for yourself!”
The surviving assassin transferred the terminal footage to Li Cheng.
Li Cheng’s expression darkened as he watched, especially after seeing Dog Tou Ren’s comment.
At that moment, another assassin questioned Dog Tou Ren: “Are you guys protecting White Fu without fear of retaliation?”
Dog Tou Ren laughed heartily, as if hearing the funniest joke: “Retaliation? You and your backers? If you provoke Fu Fu, you’d better surrender now. Otherwise, no one in heaven or earth can save you!”
Ridiculous!
Li Cheng had never seen such arrogance before.
Fine, fine, fine, I’ll remember your birth and face. If I catch you someday, I’ll make sure you can’t live or die!
Li Cheng turned off the terminal and suddenly said to the assassin, “Go and take care of the person outside.”
“Outside?” The assassin was confused.
Li Cheng cursed, “Idiot, he’s been following you for half the day and you didn’t notice?”
The assassin’s eyes widened.
So, he was being tracked?
“I’ll go right away!”
