Chapter 351: Zhong Chu: Please Hail Me As The Person Who Was Slashed Hundred Times!

Somewhere.

A burly rough man who was two meters tall suddenly woke up.

“Ah… it actually failed.”

He had some regrets.

There was a rich reward for this task. Moreover, it was in the World of Darkness and Shadows, hence there were no safety concerns. He accepted the task without any hesitation!

However…

To his surprise, it took him a long time to find his target!

Clearly, the address provided on the information was the outskirts of the community, but he could not find it. He had no other choice but to go back to the community to have a short rest.

Afterward…

He saw his target at the place where he worked.

Well…

The familiar aura was the same as that provided in the task!

That was right!

He was surprised.

The target was sent right to his doorstep!

Of course.

One was not allowed to attack people inside the community.

This was a huge problem.

As a result, he prepared a specially made weapon!

He had a club-like item which was filled with a type of liquid that could erode shadows. As long as he inserted it into Zhong Chu and injected the liquid into him, he would be able to kill his target!

This was how he formulated his assassination plan!

His plan was very simple. It was to kill the person named Zhong Chu even if it cost his life!

It was a pity his plan failed!

The shadow community responded faster than he imagined!

He did not have the time to detonate it and he was being sent blasting out by a black lightning!

He was full of regrets.

It was a pity…

He had been thinking of his plan the whole time.

Buzz—

The lights were on.

He stood up. His two-meter-tall figure towered over everyone.

Beneath his feet… was a graceful and exquisite figure. The figure was voluptuous and wore a cute skirt. Looking at the shadow, one would definitely think that he was a lovely girl.

Yes.

This was his shadow!

He spent ten years using Shadow Manipulation to sculpt his shadow into what it was now!

This was very advantageous to him.

The petite figure helped him to gain many resources…

Hehe.

Many people in that world longed to get close to him…

It was a pity…

These people would not know that he was a straight man that was much taller than any of them!

This was the World of Darkness and Shadows.

No one knew whether it was a human or a ghost on the other side of the shadow.

He loved this world.

Well…

He thought about it, picked up a bottle of precious medicine and replenished the power he had lost when the shadow had died just now. He then stepped into the World of Darkness and Shadows once again.

Ding—

He accepted another mission!

Zhong Chu, I don’t believe that I won’t be able to kill you!

…

At this very moment…

In the community.

Zhong Chu pulled out the club inside of him with some difficulty. The staff member from the community hurried over, helping him to stabilize his wounds…

Although his blood was still sizzling…

Oh.

It was black…

Zhong Chu found it to be ridiculous.

This feeling…

It was very strange and mysterious.

No one would have imagined there would be a day where he pulled a club out of him and blood would spurt from his body, while he looked like a shadow. The blood even made a big splash…

“Are you okay?”

The dialog box popped out on top of the employee.

“Thank you.”

Zhong Chu was grateful.

“I’m okay.”

The staff member felt somewhat regretful. “Since the accident happened here, I will compensate for all your losses. I am terribly sorry. I did not expect that someone would attack you here.”

This was the shadow community.

Theoretically… Zhong Chu and all the other shadows were their customers!

They had promised that the community would be safe. Since accidents had occurred there, they would naturally compensate him as much as possible.

Very soon…

Zhong Chu’s injuries healed.

Right now, he began to think about a very serious issue. Why would anyone want to kill him?

An accident?

A coincidence?

No way.

He looked at the missions on the assassination panel. No matter how he looked at it, there was only one possibility. He was the target in the information revealed about the mission!!!

Everyone was a shadow in this world. How did one tell each other apart?

It was by one’s aura!

Since the school gave the order to kill him, they must have prepared the aura of his shadow in advance.

Undoubtedly…

Although he had given his Shadow Combat Suit and shadow ball of light to Lu Ming, Zhong Chu’s aura was already included in his killing order!

“When did the school collect his aura?”

Zhong Chu turned sullen.

He then remembered that when they entered the World of Darkness and Shadows, the school required everyone to give them a strand of their hair…

Must be freaking kidding me?!

Therefore…

These people would not go looking for Lu Ming but him.

Zhong Chu felt a chill run down his spine.

Although he had no idea who Lu Ming was, he must have been very powerful to be able to kill everyone along the way, ranking first after getting his shadow ball of light!

Why did they look for him instead of Lu Ming!?

Eh?

Wait a minute.

Zhong Chu suddenly thought of something.

The person who hunted him down came searching for him based on his aura…

However…

The school stated that no one was allowed to stay in the community!

Otherwise, they would be eliminated!

In that case…

“The positioning provided by the school is on the Shadow Combat Suit!”

Zhong Chu had a sudden moment of realization.

It was no wonder…

If that was the case, everything made sense!

The positioning given by the Shadow Combat Suit was being certified. The only problem was that they hunted down the target based on his own aura…

That was why this attack happened.

Alright.

Zhong Chu finally understood and he turned green.

Therefore…

In that case, what should he do?

Initially, he thought that he could stay in the community with a peace of mind, but now it seemed that the community was laden with dangers…

Yes.

One was not allowed to attack anyone in the community.

However, judging from the Assassin’s behavior just now, he was determined to kill him even at the cost of his life!

What could he do about it?

He was desperate too!

Hence…

He had no other choice but to contact Lu Ming.

“Help is needed!

“Lu Ming, think of a way!

“If I die, we will be exposed!”

Zhong Chu was desperate.

“You are the only one who will be exposed. This has nothing to do with me.”

Lu Ming maintained a calm expression.

It was no wonder no one assassinated him. All of them went after the right person.

“Please don’t do this to me.”

Zhong Chu turned teary-eyed.

He was in such a miserable state all because of the ranking. If he did not manage to get a good ranking, he would be left with nothing!

It was true.

Others at least had the Shadow Combat Suit to protect them and to provide energy, while he had nothing…

“How did you manage to send these messages?”

Lu Ming stared in wonder at the dialog boxes in front of him.

“Private message.”

Zhong Chu gave him a strange look. “The World of Darkness and Shadows is just like a game. As long as you find the username, ID and aura identification, you can send private messages to the other party.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

These were indeed the rules of the games.

The big shots who designed the World of Darkness and Shadows must have been very lazy!

This was simply copying existing rules!

“How do you know my aura identification?”

Lu Ming was surprised.

He had no idea what the hell it was.

“I don’t know.”

Zhong Chu told the truth, “I sent it according to the identification of the Shadow Combat Suit. It was a surprise that the messages were successfully sent to you …”

“That’s amazing!” Lu Ming exclaimed.

“Wait a minute… I am not here to talk about this!”

Zhong Chu became teary-eyed. “I am in danger now! I am asking for your help. Please think of a way to save me!!! It is very costly to send private messages!!!”

“Oh?”

Lu Ming was surprised. “Do you need to pay a fee?”

“Yes.”

Zhong Chu turned sullen. “One private message costs 10 Shadow Coins per message, it is very expensive. Group private messages cost 100 Shadow Coins per message. Regional broadcasts cost 1000 Shadow Coins per message.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

That was crazy!

Weren’t these the small speakers, big speakers and super speakers in video games?

They used the same interface!

“After all, this used to be a world for social interaction…”

Zhong Chu explained, before coming to his senses. “Brother, I am pleading with you! This is not the point! Please help me think of a solution! I am about to die!”

Zhong Chu turned teary-eyed.

It was true.

Why did they change the topic to private messages?!

He was about to die!

At this rate of assassinations, he would not survive the second assassination!

They were too persistent!

“Why are you that worried?”

Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.

He felt that since he was working together with Zhong Chu, and his attitude was considered good and sincere, giving him a ball of light and the combat suit…

He could not leave him like that.

Well…

In that case…

Lu Ming had an idea. “Come, Zhong Chu, why don’t you…”

Shush!

He replied to him.

Zhong Chu wore a dumbstruck expression.

“Are you sure?!”

Zhong Chu was somewhat frightened.

He had a feeling that Lu Ming’s plan would do him in…

“Believe me.”

Lu Ming looked grim.

He never joked about such things.

“What if it fails?”

Zhong Chu was scared witless.

“Then you will die.”

Lu Ming sighed.

Zhong Chu was silent.

He should not have asked that question!

However, Lu Ming’s solution seemed to be feasible…

Hence…

Zhong Chu decided to go ahead with it.

Like what Lu Ming told him, he went to the nearby shop, spent most of his Shadow Coins according to the plan, walked out onto the streets, toward the path in the community that everyone had to walk through, and revealed his aura.

Buzz—

Faint auras dissipated.

Some of the shadows by the roadside cast him a curious glance and ignored him.

After a long time…

A shadow passed by calmly before it turned and stabbed him with a knife.

Pfft!

The knife stabbed him.

** dialog boxes popped up on the top of the group of people nearby.

Bang!

Black lightning killed the Assassin on the spot.

“It’s coming!”

Zhong Chu was somewhat nervous.

He was exceptionally calm when he held onto the knife that pierced him, feeling his life fading away… Oh, there was poison on it. His shadow was corroding rapidly…

His enemy was well-prepared!

If one was unprepared, when in contact with this type of corrosive liquid, one would die within a short period of time.

It was a pity…

He was long prepared!

He spent half of his Shadow Coins on life-saving items!

Pfft!

He injected a liquid into his body, stabilizing his injuries.

Very soon…

The warden in the community had arrived.

He was speechless as he looked at a seriously injured Zhong Chu. “It’s you again.”

“What a coincidence.”

Zhong Chu smiled bitterly.

“What enemy did you provoke?”

The staff member smiled bitterly.

“I don’t know.”

Zhong Chu pretended to be at a loss.

“Wait a minute.”

The employee was helpless. He could only treat Zhong Chu’s injuries once again. However, what was bizarre was that from then onward…

He was almost stabbed to death while walking.

He was almost stabbed to death while cultivating.

He was almost stabbed to death while doing his shopping.

He was almost stabbed to death while having a massage.

From then on, Zhong Chu had embarked on a road to death.

Initially…

Only petite young ladies made attempts to kill Zhong Chu. However, as time passed, more and more people tried to take his life. It became chaotic.

Bang!

Bang!

Lightning strikes were constantly heard in the community.

The black lightning that had not struck for years flashed madly as if it was free.

The employee was speechless.

He had never seen such a situation in his many years of work!

To hell with it!

Did these people become crazy?

Although the body would not be affected after the shadow died, it would still take time to re-condense!

Were these people that empty-headed?!

Hence…

The employee went to check the data.

Afterward…

They were shocked to realize that the killing order for Zhong Chu was as high as 1200 Shadow Coins!

Yes.

The reward for the assassination of Zhong Chu had surpassed Jiang Feng’s!

1200!

It was a shocking number!

Only Heaven knew.

Jiang Feng had been hunted down endless times. But no matter what, the Assassins who were after him were merely six-star or peak six-star. The reward would not exceed 1000 Shadow Coins! That went to show that the Shadow Coins were very precious!

However…

Over here…

The money for Zhong Chu’s assassination was 1200 Shadow Coins!

Furthermore…

It was only limited to assassination in the World of Darkness and Shadows!

Look.

There was no need to be concerned about safety!

It was perfect!

Besides, the description of the mission stated that the other party was in the community. The only difficult part was the rules in the community…

Hence…

Many people challenged the rules!

The staff member was speechless.

So, that was what happened.

Was this due to the large amount of money rewarded for the assassination?

Hence…

He looked serious as he pulled out the background records and checked the killing order for Zhong Chu. He was shocked to realize that this mission started out with 100 Shadow Coins.

Well…

After the assassination failed, 1100 Shadow Coins were added to it, and the person who added that amount was… Zhong Chu!!!

The staff member was dumbstruck. What the hell was this?!

Was he trying to kill himself?!

It was a pity…

He did not know Lu Ming.

Otherwise, Lu Ming would have told him earnestly that he learned this tactical strategy from someone named Old Jiang…

Although it was shameless, it was effective.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Dark lightning kept booming in the background.

The staff member was suddenly full of admiration.

According to the rules, they were not allowed to interfere in the normal operation of the World of Darkness and Shadows.

So, theoretically, as long as Zhong Chu did not destroy the World of Darkness and Shadows, they were not allowed to interfere! Seeing that Zhong Chu was stabbed countless times by others…

He suddenly understood something.

This man was a genius who had strong willpower!!!

Yes.

This person must be aiming at breaking through!

Or perhaps, this was a test of his nature!

After all…

It was very painful to be killed!

One had to have strong willpower to use this type of method to put themselves at the brink of death and to increase their combat abilities, becoming more resilient and tenacious!

It was interesting.

This man must be someone very capable in reality!

The employee was full of admiration.

However…

He did not know that Zhong Chu had become numb to assassinations.

Initially, when Lu Ming told him his plan, he felt good about it. It was a good idea to make use of the community rules to kill the Assassins…

He could even gain points!

This was simply like attacking monsters in the games!

The thought of it seemed interesting.

However…

When all kinds of strange sticks and clubs were inserted into his body, he had the feeling that the plan was not that feasible…

These people were too powerful!!!

The community rules were helpful!

The black lightning was impressive!

However…

They were too slow!

They would not judge in advance and enforce the rules using the black lightning!

One had to be attacked before they would counterattack!

Therefore…

By then, all kinds of sticks were inserted into Zhong Chu’s body!

//

It was a long story.

He even felt numbed by the attacks. Why did he agree to Lu Ming’s plan?!

He did not understand.

Thankfully…

Although the process was painful, the outcome was good.

As the dark lightning kept striking, one of the names on the assessment name list for the graduation season advanced at an incredible speed!

The First Academy.

The students stared in shock as one of the names advanced rapidly!

300th place!

200th place!

100th place!

Shush!

The familiar name appeared in front of everyone once again!

“What was that…”

“Wait a minute, why did it keep changing?!”

“It is Zhong Chu!”

“He has reached the top one hundred!”

“Wait a minute. I remembered the last time I checked he was still among the top three hundred places?”

“What is happening?”

Everyone was astounded.

Almost all of the students in the top hundred places of the assessment name list had killed three Assassins. And before that, Zhong Chu had a zero record!!!

How long had it been?

There was not enough time to find someone!

This guy…

While the students were puzzled, they were shocked to find that the the name that was in top one hundred places kept moving up the ranks!

Shush!

It advanced the ranks.

96th place!

The students were speechless.

Shush!

It advanced again.

85th place.

The students were speechless.

Hell… the speed of advancement was crazy!
