Chapter 16

Because Li Huailin was getting more and more excited, he couldn't even sleep. The next morning, he eagerly ate a little and immediately logged in.

The place he logged in was still the central square. Li Huailin had already planned everything while lying in bed the night before, so he headed straight for the north gate of the main city.

The human main city, City of Divine Blessing, being a flatland city, had four gates in the east, south, west, and north. Li Huailin had read the posts and knew that the main city was a safe zone where PK was not allowed, so he could only go to the wilderness to fight. He chose the north gate because it was closest to the respawn point, making it convenient for him to run away.

Since it was early in the morning, there weren't many players around. Plus, the leveling spots near the north gate weren't very good, so Li Huailin didn't see many people when he walked to the city gate. After some thought, Li Huailin stood directly on the bridge over the moat facing the north gate. This was not a safe zone, and it was a must-pass route to leave the city, so there was no way to avoid it.

"Everything is ready..." Li Huailin waved the beginner's broken sword in his hand and said excitedly, "Come on, people."

Soon, the first target appeared. Two ordinary-looking male players walked over from a distance. One of them was clearly a warrior, carrying a long sword and a small wooden shield, with a few pieces of equipment glowing green, indicating he was somewhat wealthy. The other wore a cloth robe and carried a wooden staff, and Li Huailin couldn't tell if he was a mage, priest, or warlock.

"Wait!" Li Huailin shouted and jumped out from the bushes, "This mountain is mine, this grass is mine. If you want to pass, leave your money!"

"Huh?" The two players were taken aback for a moment, then they both laughed.

"Are you S13? You're robbing people in a game? And with such cliché lines, are you here to make us laugh?" The warrior player said with a laugh.

"Also, please be more professional when robbing. You're wearing a beginner's set, who are you trying to scare? Is someone paying you to provoke us, hoping we'll kill you and turn red, then drop our gear and send us to jail? We're not that stupid." The mage player immediately deduced a bunch of baseless things and nodded confidently, very pleased with his deduction.

"Damn, why didn't I think of this!" Li Huailin hit his hand, "But this method doesn't matter to me, I'm not here to die, so forget it, I'll just attack them directly. This way, they can legally counter-attack and kill me. Why waste so many words?"

"I'll cut you down if you don't pay!" Li Huailin said as he raised the beginner's broken sword and stabbed it towards the mage player's chest, adding, "You talk too much, why are you so cocky!"

-890 (Critical Hit).

A huge blood-red critical hit number floated above the mage player's head, and he fell to the ground without even getting a word out.

System Notice: You have killed the player "Glutinous Bread," Evil Deed -1.

"Damn!" "Damn!"

Not only did the warrior player not expect it, but Li Huailin himself was also surprised. The warrior player couldn't believe that a player in a beginner's set could one-shot his teammate with nearly 900 critical damage. Li Huailin was also confused— "When did I become so powerful?"

Without hesitation, Li Huailin quickly opened his character attributes.

"Damn, what kind of monster attributes are these!" Li Huailin was stunned, completely baffled. He had only slept for one night, so how did his attributes suddenly increase several times? But soon, Li Huailin found the answer—his buff bar was filled with over twenty identical icons.

Shameless Rogue: Curse, for violating game rules and harassing female players, all attributes increased by 10%, lasting 7 days, this curse cannot be removed.

Li Huailin counted, and there were 28 identical icons... meaning he was currently in a state where all his attributes were increased by 280%. He had maxed out his strength, so his strength attribute was off the charts, with over 400 attack power, and critical hits easily reaching over 800. Mages weren't designed for high health, so a one-shot kill was inevitable.

"This... what the hell is going on." Li Huailin was instantly overwhelmed. If it were anyone else, they would be ecstatic with a 280% attribute increase for 7 days, making leveling and boss fights a breeze. But Li Huailin couldn't kill monsters or bosses to level up. His defense of 40-60 was after reducing 20% in defensive stance, and with 2200 health, how could he die?

While he was pondering, the stunned warrior player suddenly reacted and ran straight back to the main city's safe zone without a word.

"Right, there's still you!" Li Huailin thought. Although the mage was dead, there was still this warrior. Attacking a team gave all members a 30-minute counter-attack time. Even with his overpowered attributes, he could just stand still and let the warrior kill him.

With that thought, Li Huailin caught up. With his 50% increased movement speed in defensive stance, Li Huailin caught up to the fleeing warrior in three steps and blocked his path.

"Don't go yet!" Li Huailin said urgently.

"Brother, I remember you now, you're that awesome guy, right?" The warrior player had a vague sense of familiarity when he saw Li Huailin but didn't pay attention at the time. Now, he realized it was the guy from the top forum post who beat up NPCs. He thought the "awesome guy" was just a legend, but seeing him in person was truly terrifying. A player of his level could be one-shot, and he had dared to provoke such a monster. He quickly begged for mercy, "Awesome guy, I failed to recognize your greatness, please spare me..."

"No, that's not what I meant..." Li Huailin scratched his head awkwardly, not really wanting to kill anyone, "You and that mage were a team, right? Why don't you take revenge for him?"

"How can I dare to fight you? I saw the whole thing. The awesome guy wanted to rob my friend, which is my friend's eight lifetimes of good fortune. He didn't even show gratitude and let you rob him, he deserved to die!" The warrior player had seen Li Huailin's video from the previous day, where he beat up the warrior mentor Alenst. He thought he understood Li Huailin's character and quickly said, following Li Huailin's lead.

"Deserved to die, my ass." Li Huailin grabbed the warrior player and said fiercely, "I'll give you one last chance, will you fight or not?"

"Awesome guy, I have a family to support, it's not easy. I only gained 23% experience yesterday after grinding all day. Please spare me this time." The warrior player then took out five silver coins, not using the trade function but placing the gold coins from his backpack on the ground, "This is all I have, please give me a chance to live."

"I... I..." Li Huailin hadn't expected the robbery to actually succeed and didn't know how to react.

"Thank you, thank you! Thank you, awesome guy, for giving me a chance to live. I will be grateful and won't hold a grudge or seek revenge. I promise the same for my friend." Seeing Li Huailin's conflicted expression, the warrior player thought Li Huailin was considering whether to kill him, so he quickly added a few more words to persuade Li Huailin to change his mind.

"..."

Seeing Li Huailin's lack of response, the warrior player quickly circled around him and ran back to the city, disappearing from Li Huailin's sight in a flash.

"This... this is completely different from my plan..." Li Huailin wiped his face, but soon he became determined, "I don't believe there isn't a single player in the entire human main city who will dare to fight me. I'll keep robbing!"
