Chapter 874: Infinite Deathmatch (7)
The little girl cried endlessly, and Pei Jin had to comfort her for a long time before she calmed down.
Once her tears dried, the girl immediately seemed like a different person, returning to the calm demeanor she had when Shi Sheng first saw her.
If she had continued crying, Shi Sheng might have pulled out her sword and silenced her for good.
“What do we do now?” Miaomiao asked Pei Jin softly.
“Continue forward as we discussed before.” Pei Jin looked at Shi Sheng, “Miss Yu, you chose the killing route, right?”
“En.” Shi Sheng responded absentmindedly.
Pei Jin found it incredible that he was able to chat so calmly with someone like her.
“What do you plan to do next?”
“Plan?” Shi Sheng looked at her arm. “I need to find a healing card.”
“Healing card?” Pei Jin was surprised. “That kind of black card is very rare. Are you injured?”
Pei Jin’s gaze swept over Shi Sheng, but he was unable to pinpoint any signs of injury. ‘If she’s not injured, why does she need a healing card?’
“To collect.”
Pei Jin: “…”
‘Alright, can’t argue with that.’
‘All experts usually have some quirks!’
‘It’s normal!’
‘En, normal.’
Pei Jin and Shi Sheng were not on the same path, so they had to part ways. As a farewell gift, Pei Jin informed Shi Sheng that the Ruined World was a huge square.
Their current location was still on the outskirts.
Those who chose the killing route only needed to fight their way in, but those who chose the other route had to reach the central area as soon as possible to find the items needed for advancement.
Pei Jin left with Miaomiao, while Shi Sheng continued to clear the map alone.
There will always be people trying to take advantage of a situation. Those without fear of death delivered themselves right to Shi Sheng’s front door, hoping to kill her for the promotion qualification.
Naturally, their fate was to become another tally in Shi Sheng’s collection and kill counter.
“Protagonist, protagonist! Why haven’t you shown up yet?” Shi Sheng dragged her iron sword through the ruins, full of helplessness. She had already squeezed into the top twenty ranks, yet the protagonist hadn’t appeared.
‘This doesn’t make any sense!’
Suddenly, Shi Sheng halted, listening intently to the sounds ahead.
It seemed like someone was fighting.
‘Looting time!! Looting time!! Looting time!!!’
With those three words flashing in her mind, she sprinted towards the commotion.
Rounding a short alley, her view widened.
Several men were surrounding one person.
When Shi Sheng appeared, those men received a black card notification and all looked at her.
“It’s Yu Xia!”
Was this the person mentioned on the black card, who would grant an instant promotion if killed?
‘She’s so…’
‘Small.’
But her rank kept rising, proving she had killed many people. She couldn’t be underestimated.
“Gawking at me won’t reveal any promotion opportunities. That person is getting away!” Shi Sheng jerked her chin at the person being surrounded.
Reminded by Shi Sheng, the men quickly blocked the person’s escape route again.
Shi Sheng glanced at the person a few times; this should be the protagonist Xu Anyuan.
‘Aiyo, the male lead is being besieged!’
‘Such a good opportunity, of course I need to help tyrant Zhou[1].’
【…】'Host, please don't misuse idioms, what do you mean 'help tyrant Zhou'?'
‘Who am I helping?’
'Host, don’t cause trouble. The male lead hasn’t provoked you!'
‘As cannon fodder, my duty is to seek death, enhance the protagonists’ romance to new heights. I’m just doing my job, what’s wrong with that?’
【…】'Twisting words and forcing logic!'
'You’re simply mentally ill!'
Shi Sheng mentally gloated, ‘yeah, I’m ill, if you don’t like it come fight me ah!’
【…】'Host needs a good beating.'
Shi Sheng excitedly charged into the battle with her sword.
The men initially thought Shi Sheng was there to deal with them, but soon realized she was targeting Xu Anyuan.
They were a bit confused, but it was good to join forces and take down one first.
So Xu Anyuan was surrounded.
Xu Anyuan couldn’t rank first on the leaderboard without some skills. Though his black card skills were unclear, he had plenty of black cards. Using others’ black cards wouldn’t have side effects but required more points.
Xu Anyuan used points lavishly, unleashing various skills.
In terms of black cards, Shi Sheng had plenty too, and all of them were high-level.
It turned into a black card showdown.
You use water attack, I use fire to block.
You use fire attack, I use earth to block.
The men had retreated to the sidelines, dumbfounded, watching the black card battle.
‘Are black cards this common?’
‘We must not have woken up from our dreams yet.’
“Yu Xia!” Xu Anyuan didn’t expect Shi Sheng to have so many black cards. He yelled coldly, his eyes filled with danger. “You’re being hunted. Why provoke me?”
“Kill you, and I’ll be number one. Why do you think I’m provoking you?” Who doesn’t want to be number one?
A cannon fodder who doesn’t strive for the top is not a good cannon fodder.
The rule of this leaderboard—kill a ranked person, and you instantly take their spot.
For example, killing Xu Anyuan, the current number one, would make her number one.
“You think you can kill me?” Xu Anyuan’s eyes flashed dangerously.
“No, I can’t.” ‘You’re the male lead, I(bbb) can’t kill you!’
Xu Anyuan frowned. “Since you know your limits…”
Shi Sheng grinned arrogantly, interrupting Xu Anyuan. “But I can let them kill you.”
The called-out bystanders: “…” ‘We know nothing, what’s happening?’
Xu Anyuan was ruthless and cold in the early stages. Shi Sheng’s provocation had already crossed his bottom line. He took out another black card.
Just as he was about to activate the skill, a sharp blade shot towards him.
Startled, Xu Anyuan quickly retreated. The iron sword sliced the black card in his hand in half.
Xu Anyuan was both shocked and wary.
No one knew what material the black card was made of, but he had tried many ways to destroy it and failed.
“Aiya, what’re you dodging for?” Shi Sheng pouted. ‘Almost got him.’
Xu Anyuan: “…” ‘Should I have just waited to get hit?’
‘This woman is a bit strange.’
But it also ignited Xu Anyuan’s fighting spirit.
Xu Anyuan used another black card, summoning a tornado out of nowhere, sweeping all the ruins around into it.
Shi Sheng, eyeing the incoming tornado, felt a reckless urge to test if her iron sword could split it.
She steadied herself, gathered her strength, and swung the iron sword with all her might.
The iron sword split the tornado in half with a fierce sword qi.
This bizarre scene left all living creatures present dumbfounded.
‘Even a tornado can be cut in half?’
‘Are you cheating?’
Shi Sheng raised her eyebrows. ‘It really worked ah!’
‘But…’
‘Why did splitting it not stop the tornado, and instead create two smaller ones coming at her?’
Shi Sheng: （╯‵□′）╯︵┴─┴ ‘Does this thing have dark elf regeneration?’
The twin tornadoes, smaller but menacing, advanced on Shi Sheng, creating a daunting scene.
