"So fast?" Feng Xue’s brows rose. From the start of his slaughter to now, including the ti wasted with Chen Xiyao’s indecision, less than five minutes had passed. There wasn’t enough ti to even run to the place where his corpse was supposed to be dumped, let alone resolve those ominous threats.
However, after a second thought, Feng Xue realized that while the Manager must deal with the threats, which one to deal with first was entirely up to the Manager’s discretion.
Before the threats appeared in this area, the Manager, in order to preserve their own label, had no choice but to grudgingly deal with those threats. But now that a threat had erged here, it naturally beca the top priority.
In Feng Xue’s eyes, a beautiful girl enveloped in a glamorous aura, riding an ostentatious motorbike, ca charging out of the alleyway. In her hand, she held a long sword, the rows of gems inlaid upon it making one doubt its practical value in actual combat.
Looking at this gem-laden female Manager, Feng Xue found it difficult to associate her with the flamboyant, bearded man he had seen from a distance. However, considering that the Feminization Filter could add a Sharp buff to the Holy Mother’s dismbernt attack, he didn’t remove the filter.
"Where’s the outsider?" The Manager jumped off the bike and glanced at the zombie girl, who was still indulging herself, then turned directly to Feng Xue. Feng Xue, rubbing the wound that had stopped bleeding, grinned,
"They’ve already left."
"Is that so?" The female Manager’s tone was bold and crisp, devoid of any emotion, but Feng Xue could feel the piercing killing intent behind it.
Feng Xue’s gaze, however, stayed on the zombie girl, slowly moving sideways, maintaining a trajectory that circled around the zombie girl as the center point.
It was clear that the Manager didn’t understand the logic behind the zombie girl’s actions, and that was Feng Xue’s only opportunity.
Indeed, at the very mont he saw the Manager, Feng Xue knew he probably couldn’t win against this woman. If you asked why, it was because the small shield in his left hand was inlaid with an entire surface of diamonds! (Note: Shield inlaid with diamonds provides total magic resistance.)
The rules of fantasy creatures in the Infinite City world did not adhere to ga settings. Total resistance didn’t an just ice, fire, lightning, and poison; it included all resistances against spell attacks. The Holy Mother’s curse-like fatal strike would probably struggle to gain any advantage.
Furthermore, considering the gemstone-encrusted gear on the opponent, Feng Xue suspected that even if he got hit, he would end up owing a few pints of blood.
The Manager saw Feng Xue slowly backing away and discerned the fear in his heart. Her lips curved up slightly, and without wasting words, she wielded her long sword and charged at Feng Xue.
His damage against undying beings was stacked several hundred high; he didn’t need to take these corpse-mutated threats into consideration at all. Since the zombie girl showed no aggression for now, he could leave her be. Killing the bastard who had cost him an opportunity to "ascend" was what he wanted most.
Only, she overlooked one thing—
Her charge was too straightforward!
This ant that during her charge, she would approach the zombie girl first, then begin to "retreat" before reaching Feng Xue.
And in this process of retreating, she triggered the zombie girl’s attack switch!
Silently, the iron hook shot out from an inconceivable angle, carrying a force so formidable it seed to command awe even from the air itself, aiming for the Manager’s back. Seeing this, Feng Xue took a sudden step forward, with the Holy Mother’s dismbernt spell aid at the Manager’s neck, a mist suddenly steaming off his body.
The Anatomical Curse of the Holy Mother was countered instantaneously by the resistance provided by the diamonds, but the Sharp cutting light, enhanced by three buffs, brought forth a cold gleam amidst the fog.
"Clang!"
Buffed with three enhancents, the Corpse Collector Feng Xue felt resistance for the first ti, the recoil force almost causing him to lose his grip on his blade. He gained a newfound understanding of the degree to which the Manager had bolstered his own Attributes. However, Feng Xue had accomplished his goal. He rolled with the Manager’s force, hitting the ground, while the pursuing Manager felt his body suddenly retreating.
Yes, shielded by his Gem Armor, he hadn’t even felt pain.
But he was indeed being sent flying backward!
Feng Xue didn’t look at the Manager, instead, he imdiately stood up and rushed toward the zombie girl, or to be precise, the cardboard box beside her!
"Fresh at!!!"
A sowhat sickly sweet voice exploded through the Fog, and Feng Xue had already reached the cardboard box. As the oppressive, gloomy environnt enveloped him, a sense of relief imdiately surrounded him, to the point where he completely ignored the unpleasant sll.
Twisting the box slightly, Feng Xue peeked through the observation hole towards the zombie girl. The short five-ter distance, even obscured by light fog, allowed him to roughly make out her hazy shape. Hmm, two beautiful girls close together...
Ugh, spit!
The zombie girl was clutching the Manager girl, frantically biting her body. The only reason she hadn’t penetrated the defense was because the Manager girl had stacked it too high, which paradoxically made the scene look extrely sensual.
But...
"This is a freaking butcher!"
After hearing the classic "fresh at," Feng Xue finally realized what a bad on this was; the seemingly steamy scene twisted into sothing grotesque in his mind. At that mont, he was sowhat relieved to be wearing the Feminization Filter.
If he’d seen the true scene, his sanity would have plumted!
The butcher’s dismbernt only lasted three seconds, and although he didn’t know if it increased after becoming real, Feng Xue wasn’t about to waste ti pondering it.
Facing the direction where the two beautiful girls were huddled together, he quickly retreated away from the butcher. Why not walk slowly? Because even if the cardboard box had no effect, the butcher wouldn’t stop its hook during those three seconds!
However, it turned out the on hadn’t seen through the hidden cardboard box, or perhaps its attention was completely fixated on the Manager girl. Even after the dismbernt ti ended, it continued to crazily assault the Manager in front of it.
Feng Xue didn’t believe the butcher, without having stacked much power, could last long against a nuric anomaly like the Manager. He abandoned the idea of stealing the Manager’s bike, silently shouldered the cardboard box, and vanished into the depths of the alley...
"It’s ti for a change of scenery... Should I head straight for the Four Major Landfills?" Feng Xue took out his work badge to check the map. Though the Corpse Collector’s tag was blown, the badge still worked fine. It was only unable to receive new Corpse Collection assignnts or access Corpse Collector Knowledge.
But Feng Xue wasn’t too bothered by this; even without the Corpse Collection work badge’s reminders, given the population turnover rate in the Landfills, he wasn’t worried about lacking Corpse Collection jobs.
"I wonder what the specialty of the next Landfill area will be..."
