Lu Ming stepped into the Death Cave.
In the midst of the dark land, a general clad in golden armor, with a king's cape draped over his back and an emperor's crown on his head, sat silently on a throne.
"Who dares to disturb my peace!"
[Death Ruler Vilia] descended from the high throne, wielding a heavy sword, and approached Lu Ming and Niu Dehua nacingly.
The powerful aura from the level 19 bronze-tier BOSS forced Niu Dehua to retreat far to the back.
He didn't care about Lu Ming's fate; if things went south, he'd run without hesitation.
Lu Ming was left alone, facing the BOSS.
[Death Ruler Vilia] (Physical Type · Bronze-tier BOSS)
[Level: 19]
[Physical Attack: 620]
[Armor: 315]
[Magic Resistance: 260]
[Speed: 222]
[Health Points: 65280/81000]
[Skills: Death Stomp (E), Deadly Pressure (E), Death Execute (E)...]
[Description: The ruler of death, Vilia will lead you to your demise. Are you ready to face death...]
Even players from Tianxuan, ranked eighth in the national team rankings, tried twice and only managed to chip away a fifth of the BOSS's health.
Clearly, this bronze-tier BOSS was far beyond the current level of ordinary players!
"Prepare to die, mortal. I will lead you into the ranks of the death legion!"
With that, the BOSS charged at Lu Ming with the heavy sword.
Lu Ming stood his ground, calm in the face of danger.
Swish!
Sword Draw—
-5989!
[Ding~ Sword Draw skill effect triggered, attack power
200%, lasts for 200 seconds!]
In the next mont, under Lu Ming's command, dozens of Undead Warriors tore through space, appearing around the BOSS.
War Tread—
Find the original at "pawread".
"Attack."
With a thought from Lu Ming.
Dozens of Undead Warriors simultaneously launched [Soul Shatter] at the BOSS.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
-3794!
-3794!
-3794!
...
In an instant, the BOSS's health bar, over 70% full, was depleted.
[Ding~ Killed level 19 bronze BOSS Death Ruler Vilia, experience points
50000!]
Lu Ming was aware of the team rules: help the employer complete the kill task, and regardless of whether the loot is gold or scrap, all spoils belong to the employer, with the team only charging a commission.
Moreover, this BOSS, which had been pushed countless tis by previous players, was already worthless without Lin Youwei's drop rate bonus, yielding nothing valuable.
So, without a hint of attachnt, Lu Ming instantly killed the BOSS, recalled the Undead Warriors, and turned to leave nonchalantly.
Watching the BOSS's body fall in a second, and then seeing Lu Ming walk past him casually, Niu Dehua's mouth hung open wide enough to fit a durian.
anwhile, outside the Death Cave.
Players from both God Slayer and Tianxuan were silent, watching Lu Ming erge unscathed from the cave.
Even though they had anticipated this outco, Tianxuan·Eternal and his team were still deeply shocked.
At this mont, Qing Yan smiled at Lu Ming and said, "The commission from the employer this ti is fifty thousand. According to the team's rules, the mber responsible for completing the task gets a 50% commission cut. Twenty-five thousand has been credited to your salary account for this month!"
"Okay," Lu Ming replied, "Is there anything else?"
"No, that's all," Qing Yan said. "It's late, you should head back and rest!"
With that, Lu Ming left directly.
This left God Slayer, Moon completely baffled by Lu Ming.
"Why is this happening?"
Watching Lu Ming's departing figure, God Slayer, Moon's eyes were filled with confusion. "Why would he rather take Tianxuan's twenty thousand than accept the million I offered?"
"Does he want money or not?"
While God Slayer, Moon's confidence was shaken, and she found Lu Ming increasingly unfathomable.
Across from her, Qing Yan waved and smiled, "We're leaving now, see you next ti, bye-bye!"
Seeing Qing Yan's gloating expression, God Slayer, Moon stomped her feet in frustration.
On the other side.
On the way back to Starlight City, Tianxuan·Eternal asked Qing Yan, "How did you know Nether wouldn't accept her offer before?"
Qing Yan smiled and said, "He needs money, but he's not soone who would easily bow down for it!"
"So, you can't just give him money like charity; it's an insult to him. What he needs is money earned through his own skills!"
This simple statent enlightened Tianxuan·Eternal.
It also made him look at his usually unreliable sister with newfound respect: "Wow, Yan Yan, I didn't expect you to be so perceptive!"
"Uh-huh~ Now you know how aweso your sister is!"
"Yeah, you're amazing!"
...
On the way back to Starlight City, Lu Ming felt a bit down.
Every ti he saw God Slayer, Moon, it was as if he saw the shadow of the person who had caused his death.
He was eager to take revenge on every enemy imdiately.
Yet he missed the chance again and again.
"God Slayer, Moon is too well-protected. How can I find a way to get her alone?"
If it were just God Slayer, Moon, Lu Ming wouldn't have such a strong desire for revenge, as it was her brother who had caused his death, not her.
Lu Ming's real goal was to use God Slayer, Moon as a hostage to lure out her brother, achieving two goals with one move!
Otherwise, Lu Ming would have to wait until his level reached at least 150 to have the strength to take revenge on her brother and Ye Ling'er, that bitch couple.
But just imagining the scene of that couple drinking and reveling night after night made Lu Ming want to kill them imdiately!
So, Lu Ming couldn't wait that long.
And God Slayer, Moon was the perfect entry point for Lu Ming's plan to take revenge early!
"I must find a way to seize this opportunity!"
Lu Ming returned to Starlight City, logging off at one in the morning.
Through the window, he could see the night market street outside the community was still bustling.
Lu Ming planned to go downstairs for a late-night snack, have a drink, and wash away the irritation caused by Ye Ling'er.
Thinking it over, Lu Ming decided to invite Lin Youwei along.
After all, they had just moved into a new ho today, and overall, they had made quite a bit of money in Sky Abyss, so it was a good reason to celebrate and reward themselves!
So, Lu Ming went to Lin Youwei's room and knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long ti.
Lu Ming picked up his phone and opened WeChat to send Lin Youwei a ssage.
But he found several unread ssages from Lin Youwei sent over twenty minutes ago.
One of them was a transfer ssage, amounting to 287.25 yuan.
Below, Lin Youwei said: "Nether brother, thank you for not minding
and helping
level up. I will work hard to earn money and pay you back! And I'll also pay you the rent!"
Lu Ming was taken aback.
He had thought Lin Youwei was a little money-grubber, but he didn't expect that tonight she had been killing monsters and collecting copper coins and Soul Stones to sell for money to repay him!
And this transfer could have been 287 or 280.
But it was precisely 287.25!
This ant she had transferred all the money from her wallet to Lu Ming, leaving nothing for herself!
Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh, "It's a good thing you t . If it were soone else, they'd sell you, and you'd still be counting money for them..."
Lu Ming accepted Lin Youwei's transfer.
He had only heard before that: when n have money, they beco bad.
But later, Ye Ling'er made him understand: when won have money, they also beco bad.
So, he couldn't let Lin Youwei have too much money.
He needed to let Lin Youwei see hope, but also keep her constantly aware of one thing: without Lu Ming, she couldn't survive on her own!
Lu Ming sent Lin Youwei a ssage: "Going downstairs for a late-night snack, wanna join?"
Lin Youwei didn't reply, and there was no movent from her room.
Lu Ming knocked on the door again, but there was still no response.
He pushed the door open, and it swung open easily.
Turning on the light, he found the room empty!
Strange.
"Didn't she return to the city before I went to the Death Cave?"
"Logically, she should have logged off by now..."
At the very least, WeChat and player accounts are interconnected, so even if Lin Youwei was online, she should have received his ssage.
But after a long ti, the chat box still showed the ssage as unread!
At that mont, Lu Ming suddenly realized sothing was wrong.
He imdiately returned to his room and logged into Sky Abyss.
