《Infinite Game, 10x Rewards》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°When your code runs in a very strange way, you should just leave it be.¡± Han Gui often gave himself this advice. As a programmer, he was either writing bugs or maintaining bugs every day. His professional abilities may not be outstanding in his industry, but he was irreplaceable in the small company he worked for. Mainly because his boss could not find any other person that would work as cheaply as him. The boss¡¯s purpose was simple: ¡°Han Gui, just make sure you and the code can function.¡± Han Gui had long lost the ability to perceive happiness after being exploited by capitalization. ¡°What is the purpose of living? Is it like this string of code? Moving endlessly¡­ until it crashes?¡± Han Gui stared at the time in the bottom right corner of the computer. It read 17:59. After a minute more, he could get off work. Finally¡­ the time came. 18:00. Just as he was about to turn off the computer, a pop-up suddenly appeared on his screen. Han Gui was very confused. His computer should not have any viruses. Although his coding skill wasn¡¯t the best, he was quite confident in his ability to prevent viruses. The strange thing was that this pop-up did not have any exaggerated promotions or soft-text marketing. It was just a simple string of words that appeared in the dialog box. It was as if it was the computer system itself that made the pop-up. [Do you think life is very boring? Do you want to make a bet with me? If you win, you can evolve into an extraordinary creature. If you lose, you will die¡­ Do you dare?] Under the text in the dialog box, there were buttons for ¡®dare¡¯ and ¡®dare not¡¯. Regardless of which he chose, the computer would crash anyway. Han Gui wanted to laugh at this stupid text. ¡®You want to trick me with this kind of trick?¡¯ Without hesitation, Han Gui clicked on the ¡®X¡¯ in the upper right corner. However, when the mouse moved to the icon, Han Gui¡¯s heart suddenly palpitated for no reason! An unexplainable desire made Han Gui re-examine the sentence in the dialog box. [Do you think life is very boring? Do you want to make a bet with me? If you win, you can evolve into an extraordinary creature. If you lose, you will die¡­ Do you dare?] ¡°If you lose, you will die¡­ Do you dare?¡± ¡®Do you dare?¡¯ ¡­ ¡°F*ck, I¡¯ll bite! ¡°I want to see how you will kill me.¡± Han Gui knew that once his computer was invaded by a virus, all his codes would be destroyed, but he did not care at all. He had long been tired of such a life. If he could take the chance to earn more than his boss, why not? Developing new code, maintaining new programs, and configuring a new computer are all things that required money! He clicked the mouse cautiously and the ¡®dare¡¯ button dimmed. Then, Han Gui lost consciousness. ¡­ An unknown amount of time had passed. His mouth felt dry and hot. The first senses Han Gui regained was his sense of touch and taste. Then his hearing and vision. By the time he came to, Han Gui was lying on a rock cliff by the sea. His skin felt like it had been roasting under the sun. He must have been there for a long time. ¡°Where¡­ where am I? Why am I here?¡± Han Gui looked at the sky, then the sea in front of him blankly. This was a small deserted island that had been abandoned for a long time. There were other voices around him: ¡°Who are you? Are you kidnappers? Why did you bring me here?¡± ¡°I just got on the plane and took a nap. How did I land so quickly? Oh my god! Did the plane crash? I¡¯m not dead?¡± ¡°Guns! There are guns here! There are real guns on the table!¡± ¡­ There were nearly a hundred people who gradually woke up on this deserted island. No one understood how they had suddenly come here. All they remembered was encountering some strange events or items before they blacked out. One person said that he found and opened a small card in the crispy noodle packaging he had just bought. There was a card with the bet and the next thing he knew, he had woken up on the island. Others were already scared out of their wits as they were playing in an escape room before they found themselves here. Han Gui wandered among the crowd and their conversations as he gathered information. But he hadn¡¯t heard anyone that encountered the same situation as him ¨C tricked into coming here by a small pop-up on the computer. One thing was for certain. They had all been collectively transmigrated¡­ Or they had been sent here by a mysterious high-level god. Everyone appeared in a different way, so the method to return to the real world should be the same. But why were so many people gathered¡­? Han Gui carefully thought in his mind. His gaze stopped on a young man with long brown hair. He held a cigarette in his mouth and there was no confusion or panic on his face, unlike the others. His eyes also looked at Han Gui. After lighting the cigarette, he puffed and said, ¡°Is this your first time here as well?¡± The brown-haired young man was talking to him, so Han Gui replied, ¡°Yeah, isn¡¯t it the same for you?¡± The brown-haired young man didn¡¯t answer, but asked, ¡°Have you ever played PUBG?¡± ¡°PUBG? That battle royale game?¡± Han Gui¡¯s pupils constricted, and he immediately understood about half of what¡¯s happening! No wonder everything here looked so familiar! It was the island from PUBG! The plane wreck, the reefs by the sea, the guns and ammunition¡­ Bang! ¡°Ah!!¡± An ear-piercing gunshot broke the conversation between the two and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. The man who fired the gun was also stunned, then he turned ecstatic! ¡°Wow, this is a real gun! How awesome!¡± ¡°Big Brother, if you want to test the gun, then test the gun. Why are you shooting at me¡­?¡± The man who was lying on the ground clutched his calf and bared his teeth as he shouted. However, his situation did not gain any sympathy from the people around him. Instead, they rushed to the wooden table in high spirits. M416, Kar98k, M24, and even the divine weapon in the air-drop box, AWM! Just as the scene turned chaotic, a crisp sound rang out in the sky above the ruins. [Ding! All players have been detected to be awake. Infinite Game has officially started.] [Ding! This world was selected from PUBG¡¯s Island of Ruins. This is your starting point. The mission of this game is to live until the end of the game. There will be no punishment for failure.] [Ding! Now, for the rules of the game.] [Rule number one: There is a dangerous power grid that is constantly moving on this island. If you do not want to be electrocuted to death, you must ensure your survival in the safe zone until there are only ten people left. Then, the game will officially end and the remaining ninety people will be eliminated.] [Rule number two: In this world, you can form a party. The party limit is up to four people, but you must be careful, killing your teammates will also earn you points.] [Hint! In this world, you must not only guard against your enemies but also your own teammates. Whether they are enemies or teammates, you will receive 100 points if you successfully defeat them.] [The various city districts on the Island of Ruins have all kinds of defensive equipment and guns. They are your capital to survive. Only by successfully surviving until the end can you become true Infinite Players.] [Ding! Infinite Game has officially begun! All players will board the plane in five minutes. This is a spawning location for new players. No fighting is allowed in this area. Anyone who violates the rules of the game will be killed!] The notifications came to an end and everyone was stunned as they stood in place. Han Gui was the same. There was no punishment in this world. After all, if one could not survive, they would just die.. So what punishment did the dead need? Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [Ding! As the 9999th player, congratulations on obtaining Infinite Game¡¯s only talent, 10x Multiplier. Class: SSS.] [Ding! PUBG¡¯s Island of Ruins has been officially activated. Beginner basic skills will now be released.] [Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Beginner Gun Mastery (Beginner Gun User).] [Ding! 10x Multiplier activated. Beginner Gun Mastery has leveled up to Advanced Gun Mastery.] [Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 10 storage slots for Infinite Players. The maximum stack of the same item is 9.] [Ding! 10x Multiplier has been activated. The 10 storage slots have now been upgraded to 100. The maximum stack of the same item has been upgraded to 90.] [Ding! The attribute panel has been activated. Your HP is 100. As long as your HP is not zero, you will not die in the game. Please take note of your HP.] The recent series of voices sounded different from the one that announced the rules just now. In fact, the recent announcements sounded as if the voice was directly in Han Gui¡¯s mind. In order to verify this, Han Gui observed other people¡¯s facial expressions. There was no change in them. That basically confirmed that this SSS Class reward was exclusive to him, the lucky 9999th player?! Han Gui suddenly felt like he was on cloud nine. With this talent, he could completely progress through the game with a breeze. He could even easily and quickly surpass the veteran players! In such a cruel world, points or rewards were very important. He not only had such a valuable talent, but he had also directly experienced its benefits. The so-called Beginner Gun Mastery was supposed to make it easier for newbies to use guns. They would even know how to release the safety even while on a parachute. When his 10x Multiplier came into effect, his Beginner Gun Mastery had become Advanced Gun Mastery. The upgrade made Han Gui feel that his body had changed and his mind had been filled with more knowledge of guns and weapons. He had become a gun enthusiast with an abundance of experience. Han Gui suddenly felt like he had run into a gold mine! The slots in his backpack had also been expanded ¨C 100 slots with a stack of 90 each! How terrifying! If he had picked up a level 3 backpack in battle, no other person¡¯s backpack size would be able to compare with his. Han Gui could now pick up any drops he wanted! There would be no ammunition, medical kit, first aid kit, drinks, or painkillers left! Bang! ¡°F*ck, son of a b*tch. What are you talking about? Obliterate? Kill me if you can then!¡± Bang! The sudden gunshots and curses startled Han Gui. He looked over and saw a brawny 1.9-meter-tall man carrying a Kar98k. The muzzle of his gun was still emitting green smoke. The strange thing was that the man was speaking in a foreign language, but it was automatically translated when it reached Han Gui¡¯s ears. Was it for the convenience of communication? But that was not the point. Han Gui looked at the man with pity in his eyes. Han Gui knew very well that since the voice above the ruins had said that there should not be a fight at the spawning location, they should not easily break the rules, especially when they were still young. Otherwise, the result would be death. [Ding! Player 096 has been detected to have maliciously violated the rules. Infinite Space has received authorization, obliterate!] The notification ran a chill down Han Gui¡¯s spine. He stared at Brawny Man. Han Gui wanted to see what ¡®obliterate¡¯ looked like Poof! It was very simple and intuitive. Brawny Man¡¯s right arm suddenly exploded and completely turned into a bloody mist. The sudden scene made many people around scream out loud. Brawny Man also let out a shrill scream that spread throughout the entire spawn location of the island. ¡°Ah!!!¡± This was not the end. While Brawny Man was screaming, his left arm exploded as well, turning into a bloody mist that filled the sky. Despite the pain, the man did not faint. No! It was not that Brawny Man did not faint, but he must have been under some kind of force within Infinite Space that even if the pain was beyond his tolerance level, he would still endure it. Parts of Brawny Man¡¯s body kept exploding until he died with endless pain as everyone watched in horror. This kind of death caused fear to arise in everyone¡¯s hearts. Brawny Man¡¯s death was made an example of the supreme law of Infinite Space to everyone. [Ding! The number of people now detected in this area is 99. Infinite Space will automatically replenish the number of people.] With a crisp notification, a white pillar of light descended. When the pillar of light disappeared, a figure appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. [Ding! The number of players in the game has been replenished. In order to ease the psychological burden that has been placed on the players previously, the game will officially begin in 10 minutes.] The long and dull 10 minutes finally ended with another notification, ending everyone¡¯s nightmare. [Ding! 10 minutes of preparation time has passed. The game has officially begun!] His vision blurred for a while. When Han Gui¡¯s vision cleared up, he was already sitting in the cabin of the plane. [Ding! All players, please pay attention. This flight will be heading to the Island of Ruins. You may parachute off the plane en route at any time. Any players who have not parachuted by the end of the flight will be expelled by force.] [Ding! The tactical panel has been unlocked! The parachute assistance function has been unlocked! Good luck to all of you.] The notification sounded somewhat mechanical. Han Gui came back to his senses and looked at the seatbelt that had been put over him since God knows when. A hundred people sat in two rows of chairs in the cabin. Han Gui¡¯s gaze swept over them as he began to examine his enemies. There were female white-collar workers in suits, pretty girls in tight skirts, female students in uniforms, and even successful people with big bellies. There were strong men and people of all races. Most of them looked frightened but Han Gui could not tell whether they were real or fake. There were a few people worth paying attention to. One of them was a man in a leather jacket with a hideous scar on his face. Another did not attract much attention but his exposed arm had all kinds of scars. To Han Gui, those scars looked like gunshot wounds. Although he had never seen a gunshot wound, these people made him pay special attention to them. Han Gui was not arrogant enough to think that this game would only have ordinary people. Perhaps it was a simulation created by some mysterious organization to train special forces soldiers? Those real players were probably the main characters in this game, right? Han Gui had a pretty big imagination. As a programmer, he had once fantasized that the entire human civilization or even the entire Earth was a set of codes and that we were all pets kept by aliens. The mind of the creator of such a world was not something that we three-dimensional humans could ever be able to understand. ¡­ ¡°Is there anyone who would like to form a team? I think I have played this map before. Didn¡¯t the rules say that a max of four people can form a team?¡± A voice broke Han Gui¡¯s train of thoughts for his flight escape.. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Anyone wants to form a team? I think I¡¯ve played this map before. Didn¡¯t the rules say that a max of four people can form a team?¡± A voice suddenly broke the dead silence of the cabin with a seductive charm. Just when everyone was panicking, this voice undoubtedly attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Frowning, Han Gui looked up at the woman who spoke. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. Her face was exquisite and her body had pretty hot curves. Her features, especially the beauty mole at the corner of her eye, added to her seductive beauty. Seeing that many people were paying attention to her, Aria¡¯s eyes suddenly filled with fear. ¡°I don¡¯t want to die yet. I¡¯m just an ordinary person who wants to have a team and live. I promise I won¡¯t do anything.¡± It might have been because it was usually easy for women to gain attention, but her hot figure naturally attracted the attention of many men. The impulse of hormones suppressed the fear in their hearts as many men quickly responded to her request. Han Gui on the other hand withdrew his gaze and didn¡¯t pay any more attention to her. He also liked women, but if he had to choose between a woman and his life, he would choose the latter. The uncertainty of trust among teammates was too great. As long as he could live, he would be to enjoy all kinds of women in Infinite World. There was no need to take such a risk now. Moreover, did he really want to become a dog and join the group of men to surround a woman? No matter how beautiful a woman was, in Han Gui¡¯s eyes, she was just a moving point. With his 10x Multiplier, killing her would give him a thousand points. In Infinite World, the strong were respected. As long as one was strong enough, there shouldn¡¯t be a shortage of women! However, he trusted the women in the real world more. They were purer in their intentions, unlike those in Infinite World. Once one stepped into this world, it was just exhausting to constantly be on guard. Han Gui did not pay attention to the woman anymore. He opened his tactical panel and analyzed the information displayed. Based on the route highlighted, the plane would pass through the airport and go straight to S City. There were many places to land along the way. His best bets were P City, R City, schools, and dormitories. These places allowed one to attack, retreat, and defend. No matter where the safe zone was, it was easy to run. [Ding! Attention, all players. The plane has arrived at the route. You can jump at any time now. The final destination is S City. By that time, players who have not jumped will be forced out.] The notification reverberated throughout the cabin. Han Gui had decided to jump into P City. There were many rooms in P City. As long as he dove into one of them, he would be safe especially with his level of gun mastery. Just as Han Gui was making his plans, many people around him had hidden around the plane in fear. A large number of miserable screams rang in the air too. Character: Han Gui Serial number: 088 Strength: 0.7 (human average value is 1) Agility: 0.9 (human average value is 1) Spirit: 1.4 (human average value is 1) Constitution: 1 (human average value is 1) Special bloodline: None Skills: Advanced Gun Mastery (rifle, light machine gun, sniper rifle, submachine gun, shotgun, pistol) Talent: 10x Multiplier Items: none Current location: Island of Ruins Character points: 0 His spirit had increased by 0.1, probably due to the improvement brought by Advanced Gun Mastery. Han Gui closed his attribute panel and looked at the approaching P City. He clenched his head tightly, his heart filled with fear. They were more than 2,000 meters above the ground. The houses looked small from the window. In fact, they could not even be seen clearly. Closing his eyes, Han Gui gritted his teeth and grunted: ¡°Skydiving!¡± Bang! As if he had been ejected, a strong wind swept over him, making it impossible for him to open his eyes. The high-altitude air current was blowing so hard that Han Gui¡¯s face was twitching as if he had been cut by a knife. He could not see anything and did not dare to open his eyes. Han Gui was afraid that his eyes would dry up and he would turn blind. Without his goggles, skydiving was simply courting death. [Ding! You have reached the lowest opening distance.] ¡°Open the parachute!¡± Hiss, puff! The parachute on his back automatically popped open. Han Gui felt his whole body pulled tight and his four limbs were flung downward due to inertia. He hurriedly used both hands to tug on the controller and he finally slowed his descent. The wind was no longer blowing into his face violently and he barely managed to open his eyes. Han Gui looked down at P City and heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that he would fly sideways, which would be a very uncomfortable journey. There were still screams above his head. Han Gui turned his head around and looked behind him. More than ten small dots were falling toward the ground. It seemed that they had jumped towards P City too. He did not dare to be careless. Thanks to the knowledge of parachuting that suddenly appeared in his mind, Han Gui was able to control the parachute to fly toward the ground. He bent both his knees as he landed steadily on the ground. Han Gui¡¯s legs still felt weak and he had difficulty standing. But he did not have any time to delay. He forced himself to run into a two-story building. The sight of bullets and guns made Han Gui somewhat happy. Guns would increase his chances of survival! And guns were only the beginning of his journey in Infinite World. Closing the door was a good habit that he had developed when playing PUBG. It could block his view but it was also a good and simple alarm system. He ran up and picked up the gun on the ground. His luck was not bad. It was an AKM. This type of gun used 7.62 bullets and could deal a lot of damage. But it had a strong recoil which beginners would have difficulty dealing with. Fortunately for Han Gui, it was not a big problem. [Ding! Player 007 used S686 to kill Player 013.] [Ding! The killed player will automatically return to the real world and have their memories of Infinite Space erased. One year later, he will die of a heart attack.] One would still die after Infinite Game. After returning to the real world, the person would die of a heart attack a year later. Even though he already knew the consequences, the reality delivered by the notification still made Han Gui¡¯s heart go cold. He picked up the sixty bullets on the ground but he did not need to put the bullets into the magazine at all. The tactical panel automatically reorganized itself, which made Han Gui feel a lot better. He couldn¡¯t care about having a heavy heart. Han Gui did not want to die. He wanted to live. The 10x Multiplier was destined to let him live well in Infinite Space! He had to live! Everyone who stood in front of him had to die! Survive! He changed his bullets while searching. The supplies in this house were not bad. On the right side of the ground, there was a rapid expansion magazine and a silencer. Han Gui felt much more relieved when he saw the silencer. The damage of the AKM was as terrifying as the sound of his gun. But that also meant that anyone within a few hundred meters would hear whenever he fired a shot. The silencer basically solved that issue for him, allowing him to form combinations of more silent weapons, perfect for trapping others. Who would be able to go face to face with a gun? Each person only had one life. Otherwise, would it still be a game? He pushed the door open. There was a level 2 helmet on the ground, two 7.62 cartridge cases, and a grenade in the corner. He put the helmet on his head and picked up sixty bullets. Han Gui turned around and continued to search. When he finished searching the entire second floor, it was almost time for war! There were two rooms, a kitchen, and a hall on the first floor. After another round of searching, Han Gui already had 300 rounds of 7.62 bullets and a level 2 armor. He had enough bullets. Not only that, but Han Gui also obtained a 4x scope, three first-aid kits, two bottles of painkillers, and three bottles of energy drinks. Most importantly, he picked up another grenade. After searching downstairs, Han Gui did not waste any more time. He went upstairs as fast as he could, turned a corner, and his gaze immediately fell on a black gun. An M24? Feeling delighted, Han Gui picked it up without hesitation and switched the silencer and 4x scope to the M24.. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The M24 was a deadly weapon. Besides the air-dropped AWM, the M24 was the other weapon with the most terrifying damage. It could deal a headshot to a person wearing a level 2 helmet, and blow off a level 3 helmet, leaving the person with only a little HP left. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. As long as it was something useful, Han Gui would not pass it up. Just as Han Gui had finished searching the entire second floor, there was a sudden burst of gunshots from outside. Han Gui felt a chill in his heart. He carefully leaned against the wall and peeked out the window, looking in the direction of the gunshots. On the second floor of a building diagonally opposite, a person was shooting an M416. As for where he was shooting, Han Gui could not tell. It was probably blocked by an obstacle. He carefully lifted his M24 and aimed at the person¡¯s head through the 4x scope. His target wasn¡¯t wearing a helmet ¨C he was basically asking to get a headshot! Pop! A 7.62 bullet shot out of the chamber. The sound was very soft, like the sound of a stapler. The moment Han Gui peered through the scope and pulled the trigger, he saw the blood exploding out of the target¡¯s head almost simultaneously. [Ding! You have achieved a headshot with the M24 to kill Player 014. You have received 100 points. Your kill count is 1. Please keep up the good work and be the one to kill the most players. There will be additional rewards after the game ends!] [Ding! 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points. Your current points are 1,000.] After successfully killing one person and obtaining 1,000 points, Han Gui looked back at the head that had exploded like a watermelon through the 4x scope. He could not describe the feeling in his heart. He numbly put his gun away and leaned against the wall. It was his first time killing someone. Han Gui¡¯s hands were shaking. He closed his eyes to calm himself down for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, he had mostly stabilized himself. In this world, it was either you die or I die. There was no mercy! In order to survive, he could only keep aiming his gun to kill all enemies. There were not many gunshots in P City. No one wanted to die and not everyone was as stubborn as that person. It was very likely that the people were in hiding. He took off his shoes and put them in the compartment of his backpack. Keeping them on would only reveal his position. With his shoes off, he would be able to keep the sound of his footsteps to a minimum. Han Gui glanced at the windows on both sides from the first floor. When he did not see anyone, he opened the door and walked out. Leaving the house put him in plain sight of anyone watching. Han Gui did not dare to stay out in the open any longer. He kicked the door of the opposite building open and rolled in. This was the best way to protect himself. Rolling could reduce his risk of getting attacked and also allow him to aim his gun at the enemy the moment he stopped. As he rolled, he looked at the clean ground, and his heart skipped a beat. Someone had already searched this place! Hiding behind the wall of the kitchen, Han Gui took out a Molotov cocktail and threw it directly at the room in the hall. Crack! The Molotov cocktail exploded in flames throughout the room. Despite the thick black smoke pouring out of the room, there were no indications of anyone. No one? Turning his head to look at the room near the stairs, Han Gui took out a grenade, pulled out the pull ring, and threw it over. ¡®You think you¡¯re so clever? Hiding wouldn¡¯t help you. If you don¡¯t want to die from the explosion, come out. Come out with your AKM.¡¯ Boom! The explosion shook the entire building. Then, a terrifying cry came from upstairs. ¡°Whoever threw that grenade, don¡¯t throw another! Let¡¯s form a team, a team!¡± Form a team? Han Gui was a little surprised by what he heard. He wasn¡¯t expecting such a response. But he silently took out another grenade from his backpack. He had only found a total of seven grenades in the previous building. Needless to say, there was not much of them in this game. There were only broken grenades everywhere. If it was someone else, they would have nine at most. After all, one grid could only stack nine. It wouldn¡¯t even take up any more slots even if they had more. However, Han Gui was different. He wanted to maximize the stacks of his slots. Shrapnel grenades, smoke grenades, flashbangs, Molotov cocktails. Han Gui would pick up whatever he could find. He did not even pass up the armor and helmet. Han Gui did wonder if could he pick up the armor and helmet. He wasn¡¯t able to in the PUBG game he played in the real world. So he wasn¡¯t expecting to actually be able to pick them up in Infinite Game! Since there were so many slots, Han Gui turned opportunistic and picked up everything he could when encountered. Others who came after would probably cry due to the cleanliness of the building. Han Gui moved to the bottom of the stairs, looked up, found a good angle, pulled the pin, and threw the grenade upstairs. Upstairs, Wang Mian was wearing a level 2 armor while holding a gun. He nervously looked in the direction of the stairway. His finger rested on the trigger, trembling with fear. He didn¡¯t want to die. He was alone. He only wanted to live, so he immediately told the people downstairs that he wanted to form a team. In his opinion, there was a higher chance of survival by moving around in teams rather than going solo. As for betrayals, he wasn¡¯t too worried. As long as they worked well together, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems among teammates. Plus, he used to be a salesman so he was quite confident in his ability to negotiate. Just as he felt that it was feasible, a round green thing suddenly flew in through the door. It bounced on the floor a few times before landing in the middle of the room. When he saw it clearly, his expression immediately changed! Although he had never seen a shrapnel grenade in the real world, he was not blind or dumb. He could easily tell what it was from a glance. Unfortunately, there was a huge explosion before he could run. A wave of air swept past, causing the entire building to shake. He was also almost knocked out by the energy of the blast. His mind was in a daze when he heard the sound of someone coming up the stairs. He suddenly shivered. He knew that the other party was determined to kill him. His heart started to fill with extreme fear as he tried his best to get up. Ding¡­ He lowered his head and wanted to crawl into another room. He still had the basic knowledge that he should have. As long as it was not a shrapnel grenade, he should be able to reduce his injuries by crawling. Based on his tactical panel, his HP had been reduced by more than half. Now, he only had 40 HP left. Puff! Puff! Buzz¡­ His vision suddenly went white and his ears started to ring. Wang Mian was stunned. The ringing in his ears made his mind go blank and he wasn¡¯t able to think clearly. Han Gui, the instigator, did not feel good either as he stood at the stairs. Even though he was separated by a wall and had his back turned, he had still been impacted quite badly. The effect of the stun bomb was really f*cking fierce. But he did not dare to hesitate any further. Once he felt a little better, Han Gui ran up the stairs with the AKM in hand. When he arrived, he looked at the man lying on the ground. He raised the AKM and pulled the trigger without hesitation. Tap! Tap! Tap! [Ding! You have achieved a headshot with the AKM to kill Player 033. You have received 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Dear respected Player 088, you have killed 2 people. Please keep up the good work.] Han Gui was a little excited to have killed another person and received 1,000 points. However, he did feel a little disgusted by the bloody head on the ground. The person he had just killed did not have a helmet. Furthermore, he had been shocked silly by the flashbang. He did not want to damage the level 2 armor that his latest victim wore and waste it so he had decided to kill the latter with a headshot. He opened his victim¡¯s backpack and looked at the three first-aid kits, hundreds of bullets, and drinks in it. Han Gui directly put them all into his bag and took the victim¡¯s level 2 armor as well. After the bad aftertaste of the flashbang ¨C no, the sweet aftertaste of the flashbang, Han Gui realized that the throwing objects were very useful. He searched around the second floor and picked up everything that he could. Han Gui shook his head when he looked at his backpack again. He had not filled it up enough! He took out the energy drinks and painkillers. Han Gui first replenished his status. He had a spring in his backpack after all, so he drank up! After drinking, Han Gui felt that it was indeed a world created and owned by a god. His legs were no longer sore and his waist did not hurt anymore. Even his short-sighted eyes had transformed into 24K titanium eagle eyes. It was equivalent to a 4K world on a computer, and he could directly observe everything clearly with his bare eyes! The effects of the energy drinks were indeed pretty good, and his body had definitely felt much lighter. Da! Da! Da! Da! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! A series of bullets whistled past his ears and hit the wall in front of him. Han Gui suddenly shivered. Someone was shooting at him! Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Liu Gang had been hiding out for a long time on the second floor of a building thirty meters away. PUBG was a popular game among his peers, so he had obviously played it before. As an expert with 2500 points, he understood very well that if he wanted to survive until the end, he had to stay alive. However, wasn¡¯t the fight in the opposite building too intense? ¡®Should I try to stop the fight?¡¯ Seeing the explosions and gunshots going off over there, whoever was there must have been killed in the end. He suddenly had an idea. The explosions earlier were pretty awesome. He wanted to try to do the same in the future too. But the perpetrator was a bit bold, daring to stand openly by the window. Liu Gang saw a window of opportunity and felt that if he didn¡¯t shoot, he wouldn¡¯t be able to live with himself. He decisively raised his AKM and attempted to fire at the perpetrator at the window. He didn¡¯t actually want to use the AKM. The recoil of the gun was very strong. Based on his previous gaming experience, his intuition told him not to use it. But there were no other guns in the room. Well, there were small pistols, but he didn¡¯t want to use them As a PUBG player, Liu Gang felt that pistols were useless. In the end, he decisively pulled the trigger. The moment the bullet shot out, Liu Gang¡¯s face turned green! He had underestimated the recoil force of the damn AKM. It was beyond strong, it was f*cking monstrous. And the muzzle of the AKM did not simply shift a little. Despite Liu Gang¡¯s best efforts, he still found himself pointing the muzzle to the sky by the time he fired the shot! His lack of control on the AKM¡¯s recoil caused his other hand on the trigger to lose control too. Why couldn¡¯t he control his hands? Both hands exerted strength. But the more they did, the more the gun shook! The AKM had a high firing speed and without an expansion magazine, his 30 bullets had been shot out in less than two seconds. It was not easy for him to stop the gun from shaking so much, but Liu Gang finally breathed a sigh of relief when it ended. He threw the gun on the ground. Liu Gang immediately wanted to curse. What kind of lousy gun was this? How was the gun shaking so much? His brain started to hurt! Suddenly, his entire body turned cold. Liu Gang looked across at the black muzzle of the gun in the other building. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head. Bang! The sound was pleasant to the ear, like the dull sound of a stapler. This was the sound of the gun that Liu Gang was used to hearing, but he would never hear it again. The head exploded like a watermelon, and the body lost balance as it fell backward. [Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with the M24 to kill Player 047. You have received 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed three people. Please continue to work hard.] Han Gui put down his gun and heaved a sigh of relief. Han Gui had been shocked by the sneak attack just now. He did not have time to react for two seconds. However, the gunshots stopped, and Han Gui did not feel that he had been shot. He stopped caring about anything else. He looked in the direction of the gunshots and saw the man by the window opposite him. Han Gui turned around and took his shot. After taking down another head, Han Gui felt that he needed to reflect on his actions. He had been ambushed because he wasn¡¯t cautious enough. Han Gui turned to look at the bullet marks on the wall. They had almost hit him but fortunately, none managed to. Player 047 must have worked really hard to control his gun. He must have been a master body tracer with such bad marksmanship. From the looks of it, Player 047 must have only had Beginner Gun Mastery. And based on the sound of the shots, he must have been using an AKM. It seemed that Beginner Gun Mastery was not enough to control an AKM. If Han Gui was also a beginner, he would have probably made his shots like this too. Han Gui recovered himself and after a moment of relishing the benefits of the multiplier, he started to head downstairs. He had just killed a person, so he had to clear out his victim¡¯s belongings. There were many houses in P City, so Han Gui crossed the 30 meters cautiously. The people in P City were still very much alive so he was afraid that he would die somewhere along those 30 meters! Han Gui pushed the door open and looked at the weapons and ammunition on the ground but he did not dare to be careless. When he played games in the past, he had observed many schemers fish for victims by tossing out three grenades in a row. And so that was what Han Gui did. After three consecutive explosions, there were still no reactions. So Han Gui dashed in. If there was anyone, they would have let out a muffled groan when hit by the grenade. Since it was quiet, this could only mean that there was no one on the first floor. Whether there was anyone else on the second floor was a different matter. Han Gui listened to his surroundings carefully as he picked up the items on the floor. He did not want to be ambushed like last time. Suddenly, there came the sound of gunshots from the right side. Han Gui quickly pulled up his tactical panel and analyzed the information on it. Like before, he received a notification of a kill nearby. This meant that other people must have been notified of every kill he had made as well. Thankfully, no other details besides who killed who was displayed, and Han Gui did not need to worry about other people finding out that he had the multiplier. Each kill would usually give 100 points, stranger or teammate. But for him, the automatic activation of his multiplier meant that he would always get 10 times more than what others would normally get. It would be bad if others knew. Relieved, he turned to look at the bedroom on the right. Han Gui pushed the door open with his gun, bent down, and carefully walked over. Two minutes ago, on the second floor of a building 50 meters away from Han Gui¡¯s, a situation similar to Han Gui¡¯s unfolded. Zhao Jiale had finished searching his building and finally arrived at his current location. PUBG was a very popular game and he usually played it. The first floor was very clean but he was on guard. However, a voice from upstairs made him change his mind. Was it a girl asking to form a team? If it was in the game back in the real world, he would naturally form a team with a girl. What if they ended up in a relationship? However, this was not such a simple game, and he was very well aware of that. He pretended to agree to the girl¡¯s request to form a team. He told her his number and after forming a team through the tactical panel, Zhao Jiale went upstairs. Of course, he did not let down his guard. Like Han Gui, he was ambitious and understood many things. When he arrived upstairs, he found that the girl was not bad-looking. She had big eyes, fair skin, and a good figure. He could tell that the girl was very scared as her big eyes were filled with tears. For her, the sight of him was a huge relief, but¡­ In order to survive, he raised the muzzle of his gun and pulled the trigger without hesitation. At close range, it was easy to shoot someone in the head. After all, they were teammates. Even if he shot her, she could be revived. The confused girl was laying on the floor but no matter how much she begged for mercy, Zhao Jiale still did not show any. She was even willing to give up her body but Zhao Jiale was still indifferent. He fired a few shots at her calf. Unable to get back up, the poor girl died reluctantly as he successfully obtained 100 points. He finally killed a player. Although she was his teammate, Zhao Jiale was still excited. Infinite Game forced people to be twisted after all. The safe zone on the tactical panel was at the airport and P City was also close to it. He did not have to worry about running far for the time being. Looking at his teammate who had died tragically on the ground, he put down his gun, knelt down, and started to undress. He wanted to have a good time and vent the fear in his heart. Besides, this girl was pretty and had a good figure, which was why he chose to shoot her in her leg. ¡°While it¡¯s still warm!¡± Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation However, he did not expect for a gun to be aimed at his head. With his M24 in hand, Han Gui could clearly see Zhao Jiale¡¯s movements through the 4x scope. He could also see the corpse on the ground. This scene was not that serious or complicated. There must have just been an internal conflict, or teaming up was just a scam. Otherwise, how could one still want to have fun even after killing someone? He didn¡¯t even spare a dead person. It was simply inhumane! Killing teammates was something that Han Gui had expected. That was why he didn¡¯t want to form a team as he did not want to end up being so despicable. However, he truly looked down on this kind of man. He was just like the most hated rapist in prison. Not wanting to see the dead girl be humiliated, Han Gui decisively pulled the trigger. The M24 muzzle spewed flames and the 7.62 bullets instantly shattered the glass and penetrated Zhao Jiale¡¯s throat. A headshot would not cause any pain in death, but a shot in the throat would. It was still a fatal wound but Han Gui wanted him to feel endless pain before he died. Zhao Jiale¡¯s body was thrown off by the impact of the shot and fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with the desire to live but his breathing grew weaker. He used all his strength to cover his bleeding neck but the blood still gushed out from his mouth and in between his fingers. He was not dead yet. However, it was only a matter of time before he did. His HP on the tactical panel was already close to zero. Even if he managed to reach his first-aid kit, he would not be able to save himself. [Ding! You have used M24 to kill Player 015. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations, you have obtained 1,000 points.] [Ding! Congratulations on killing another person. Currently, you have killed 4.] [Ding! You have inherited 1/5 of the player¡¯s points. Congratulations on obtaining 20 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 200 points.] It was possible to inherit a fifth of one¡¯s victim¡¯s kill points? Han Gui¡¯s eyes lit up. The multiplier applied too. If he met someone who had killed a lot of people, wouldn¡¯t that be great? Even if it was just a fifth, it wouldn¡¯t be a small amount! Han Gui had found another way to earn money¡­ points. Han Gui had already killed four people in P City. If he included the dead girl, that would make it five. He didn¡¯t know how many people had jumped into P City, but he knew that there weren¡¯t many of them. Han Gui returned to the back of the wall and opened his attribute panel. Character: Han Gui Serial number: 088 Strength: 0.7 (human average value is 1) Agility: 0.9 (human average value is 1) Spirit: 1.4 (human average value is 1) Constitution: 1 (human average value is 1) Special bloodline: None Skills: Advanced Gun Mastery (rifle, light machine gun, sniper rifle, submachine gun, shotgun, pistol¡­) Talent: 10x Multiplier Items: M24 sniper rifle, AKM assault rifle, 7.62 bullets x600, first-aid kit¡­ Current location: Island of Ruins Number of kills: 5 Character points: 4,200 He already had 4,200 points. Han Gui did not know how easy it was to gain Infinite Space points, but he knew that what he had was not little. He raised his M24 and looked into the distance through the 4x scope to see if he could find any other players. After looking through several rooms, Han Gui did not find anyone else. But he was not in a hurry. There were still nearly 80 people alive based on the tactical panel. Hard work and patience always paid off. After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Han Gui finally found another figure on the right. Ten minutes and yet the safe zone had not changed. The movement of the power grid was quite slow, which gave Han Gui a bad feeling. Something wasn¡¯t right. He pulled up the map. Looking at the scale of the map, it was not much different from a real island. If there were vehicles around, no one would even need to rush to the safe zone to escape the power grid, not at the rate the two fields were moving in. But Han Gui put those issues aside for now. Right now, the most important thing was to kill the enemies around him first. They were the true moving points! He raised his gun and looked through his 4x scope. His opponent was looking around at the window as if he was trying to see if his surroundings were safe. Perhaps he was planning to run away? Han Gui aimed at his opponent¡¯s head. But just as he was about to pull the trigger, the enemy suddenly squatted down again! Han Gui was a little puzzled. Did the opponent notice him? He picked up the M24 again and aimed at the opponent. Han Gui did not believe it. ¡®You have to stand up, right? You have to stand up again, right?¡¯ Just as Han Gui aimed at the opponent, the latter soon looked up again. He could have lost patience or wanted to check his surroundings again. But the player just looked like an egg with a white level 2 helmet on. Was he a dwarf? Han Gui could not care less. He was only worth 1,000 points anyway. Let¡¯s fight it out first! A 7.62 bullet burst out of the chamber and instantly cracked the level 2 helmet before going through the opponent¡¯s head! The firepower of the M24 was no joke. [Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with the M24 to kill Player 006. You have received 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. You have received 1,000 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 6 people.] Han Gui suddenly remembered a very popular sentence from before as he looked at his latest victim. If you hesitate, you will lose! Han Gui continued to look for players that he could kill as he walked back and forth between rooms. Unfortunately, it seemed that everyone was afraid of him. In the end, Han Gui had no choice but to go downstairs and check out other rooms. Wearing a level 2 helmet and armor was quite risky. He had killed several people in level 2 equipment with his M24. A headshot only took less than a second to kill. Han Gui urgently needed level 3 equipment. He did not know if there were any level 3 equipment on this map or if he had to wait for an air drop. If the latter, he would be in trouble. Han Gui pushed the door open and quickly rushed over to the two-story building opposite. It wouldn¡¯t be that easy for others to kill him if they had Beginner Gun Mastery. It would be a different story if he encountered ex-mercenaries, ex-soldiers, or ex-killers. But he believed that if he ran fast enough, it would make it more difficult for him to take a hit. With this thought in mind, Han Gui searched quickly the entire time, and the things in his backpack quickly increased. Speaking of which, searching through a house was also a form of exercise, with all the running and bending over. If he didn¡¯t have energy drinks to replenish himself, he would feel tired.. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation According to his travel route history on the map, Han Gui had searched more than ten houses in a row. That was already more than half of P City. Han Gui was feeling really good because this place was like a treasure trove. Ten houses in and he had already found three level 3 armors! Han Gui was also able to find a level 3 helmet though it had a pretty low drop rate. But Han Gui felt much more at ease with a level 3 helmet. Forget about the M24, as long as there was no AWM, no one would be able to instantly kill him. At this moment, an explosion suddenly came from afar. Buzz, buzz, buzz. Looking through the window, Han Gui immediately widened his eyes and exclaimed, ¡°An air drop?¡± Air drops were great opportunities in PUBG as they could contain level 3 defensive equipment, top-tier weapons, accessories, and the ¡®Voldemort¡¯ Ghillie suit. As long as one was lucky, one could get rich just from air drops! Han Gui did not know if Infinite Game was deliberately leading the players into battle, but when the air drops landed, Han Gui received a hint. [Ding! Dear Player 088, there will be an airdrop in your location, W125. The air drop will contain a Ghillie suit, a level 3 helmet, a level 3 armor, an AWM, magnum bullets, a 15x scope, an M249 light machine gun, an MK14, and many other top-tier pieces of equipment.] If there was no notification, those who had never played PUBG wouldn¡¯t know what they were missing out on. When the notification ended, Han Gui was sure that those newbie players would definitely be jealous. The tactical panel contained specific descriptions of guns and defensive equipment, such as the damage level of an AWM and the defense level of a level 3 armor This air drop undoubtedly increased the possibility of survival. How many people could be rational when faced with such hopes of survival? Still, Han Gui leaned against the wall by the window and didn¡¯t dare to make a move yet. Those who had played PUBG knew that regardless of how awesome the air drop items were, it would be foolish to rush out to it immediately. Every time he picked up an item from an air drop in the game, he would be attacked by an unknown number of parties. If it was simply the PUBG game, he wouldn¡¯t be too worried. But he was now playing with his life on the line! Han Gui¡¯s equipment wasn¡¯t considered top-tier. Even with his M24 and level 3 helmet, he did not dare to take a chance. He¡¯d rather fish ¨C sit and wait. He had already used his 4x scope to look around. There were no cars on the roads nearby or even further away, not even in parking lots and garages. This was a f*cking running game. No wonder the power grid was moving so slowly. Otherwise, they would have probably been electrocuted to death. He opened the tactical panel to take a look. The size and location of the safe zone had already been refreshed. He was lucky. P City was in the new safe zone, but it was already at the edge. The next time the safe zone¡¯s location and size were refreshed, P City would probably not be in it anymore. The safe zone was moving towards the airport. He would have to wait at most half an hour before he would start running ahead of schedule. The speed of the power grid was not fast, but it was not slow either. At this rate, it would take more than three hours to spread from S City. He would have enough time to run, stop on the road, and fight in a few encounters. Just as Han Gui was thinking about the power grid, he suddenly heard faint footsteps in the distance. It was very faint but if Han Gui had not been vigilant, he probably would not have heard it. He braced himself and looked through the window. He saw that a man had unknowingly appeared on the grass. He wore a level 2 helmet and a level 3 armor while carrying an S686 and an AKM. The man was very nervous as he ran very quickly. Han Gui could see the madness in the man¡¯s eyes through the 4x scope. He was probably a gambler. But Han Gui was in no hurry to shoot. Shooting now would only alert the others. This man might have gotten ahead, but the players behind him would not dare to come out. Han Gui waited. There were at least ten people in P City including him. Even if the others had killed each other off, there would be at least one or two people left besides him and the man he was watching. With only Beginner Gun Mastery, it would be impossible for the others to kill in one shot. The distance of the air drop was about 100 meters from the man. The man was running fast and when he had closed the distance to about 50 meters, more footsteps could be heard approaching. Han Gui¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement as he held his M24. He knew that the others could no longer be patient. Da! Da! Da! The sound of running footsteps was mixed with the sound of gunshots coming from dozens of meters to the left. Gunshots also started coming from the right. There was definitely more than one person left besides Han Gui and the man. There were at least three others. Including the man in the front, there were four people! Four people meant 4,000 points! Han Gui¡¯s eyes almost turned red! This was exciting. These four people were walking points! Da! Da! Da! The ear-piercing sound of gunshots rang out across hundreds of meters. In the end. the man¡¯s desperate howl broke the peace of P City. Crazy! They were all crazy! The man and the shooters! No one wanted to die. Everyone wanted good defensive equipment and good weapons! Only by getting to the airdrop would they have more hope of surviving! Shooting with Beginner Gun Mastery at 100 meters was difficult. The man may have been shot but it wasn¡¯t from a direct aim since the others would not have been able to properly aim with the strength of their gun¡¯s recoil while running. The man must have been shot by a stray bullet. The three crazy players finally appeared within Han Gui¡¯s field of vision. It was also at this moment that Han Gui closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again suddenly. He held his breath and focused. His vision was clear with the 4x scope. The ferocious M24, with its long barrel and black silencer, was about to show its teeth. He pulled the trigger with his finger and the muzzle of the M24 released a stream of shots like fireworks.. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Qin Hao was the director of a small company in the real world. His salary was pretty good and he had more than ten people under him. He basically led quite a comfortable life. However, a survival game called Infinite Game had changed his life. Here, he was not the director of the company. He was just a pitiful, shivering worm who was trying to survive. The experience of parachuting was the most terrifying thing in his life. Parachuting, landing, picking up guns. He was terrified but he did not want to die. He hoped that this was all just a nightmare. The flames of war were everywhere and death was always just around the corner. He was afraid! He was frightened! He wanted to live. He hoped that it was all just a nightmare. He hoped that after the game ended, he could go home. He really did not want to die! He had never played PUBG before, but he saw the notification on his panel when the air drop came. Top-tier defensive equipment and top-tier weapons were things he needed very much. Only with these would he be able to live better. When P City fell deathly silent, he couldn¡¯t take it anymore! After waiting three minutes, then five, he decided to make a dash for it. He carried his gun and left the safe house. He ran at a speed like never before. His face looked crazy. As he closed the distance, the craziness in his eyes grew even more. Da! Da! Da! Suddenly, the ear-piercing gunshots came from behind him. There was also an angry roar. Up until then, the bullets either hit the ground or whistled past him. He went crazy! He doubled in running speed which was something he had never been able to achieve in his entire life. The pain in his back made him panic. But the adrenaline rush in him only made him shout out loud. The air drop location was getting closer! It was getting closer! It was only one meter away! Finally! He reached it! A helmet! A level 3 armor! An AWM! Twenty magnum bullets! There was also a Ghillie suit! He even managed to obtain a 15x scope! These were the best finds! Pfft! He heard a sound behind him. It was very muffled, like..the sound of a stapler? Pfft! [Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with the M24 to kill Player 046. You have received 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points!] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 7 people!] Han Gui remained silent as he watched Player 046¡¯s head explode through his 4x scope. He then pulled out the gun bolt and removed the shells. This was a game of life and death. Compassion would only make one die faster. Only by killing others could one survive. He was neither a saint nor a Buddha. He was just an ordinary person. He wanted to live! The sound of the M24 stapler was so soft that the three people who had gone crazy as they chased after Player 046 did not notice him at all. Or perhaps the noise of their guns was just too loud. No one cared who killed Qin Hao. They only knew that now that Qin Hao had been eliminated, they just had to deal with each other. An intense exchange of fire followed as the three people shot at each other. The ear-piercing sound of gunshots reverberated continuously. From Han Gui¡¯s angle, no matter how hard the three people tried, they could not hide from his vision. With only a distance of 50-60 meters from the air drop location and equipped with his 4x scope, shooting at them would be a breeze. Han Gui shifted his aim to the head of one of the players. Without hesitation, Han Gui instantly pulled the trigger! Bang! Without warning, the player¡¯s head, along with his level 2 helmet, exploded like a watermelon. He reloaded his gun, shifted the muzzle, and aimed at another player. Bang! The distance of 50 to 60 meters passed in a blink of an eye as another player fell. When the two players died consecutively and he did not receive any notifications, the third person in the field knew that there was another player attacking from afar! ¡°Don¡¯t kill me! Don¡¯t kill me! I can-¡± Puchi! The head of the player who had raised his gun to surrender instantly exploded. Before he could finish his sentence, the headless body flew backward over some distance before falling to the ground. [Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with the M24 to kill Player 021. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1000 points!] [Ding! Honorable Player 088, you have killed 8 people!] [Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with the M24 to kill Player 034. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1000 points!] [Ding! Honorable Player 088, you have killed 9 people!] [Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with the M24 to kill Player 057. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1000 points!] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 10 people!] After killing four enemies in one battle, the number of people he had killed instantly reached 10. Han Gui took a deep breath and suppressed the joy in his heart. He looked at the air-dropped box in the distance and determination flashed in his eyes. He wanted this box! If there was anything that he was happiest about in PUBG, it was killing! To kill with the Voldemort tactic! To kill by fishing! In short, there was only one thing, to kill! Every player of PUBG enjoyed the process. Killing meant that they could make what belonged to others, theirs and unlock achievements. Those were the main motivations for killing. It was the same in Infinite Game. It was just that now the aim of the game was to survive longer than others. Han Gui was not a fool. Any PUBG player would understand the reasoning behind the fishing tactic at air drops. Moreover, being clear-minded sometimes meant that one was not too bogged down by reasoning. Opportunities were a blessing and a curse! Everyone wanted good things, but there was only one chance. Who could get it? Han Gui was not sure if there were still clear-headed players hiding in P City. But he was not in a hurry. He had given himself half an hour, which was enough time for him to search the entire P City. If there were people, he would kill them. If there was no one else, then all the resources in P City would be his! The air drop had already landed. It wouldn¡¯t go anywhere. But he would also keep a watchful eye on it. If there were any fish that took his bait, that would be even better. If there were no fish, he would just finish searching P City and leave after collecting everything he needed from the air drop. Most importantly, Han Gui suspected that this was a huge pit in the Infinite Game. The place the air drop landed in was a huge plain called Ma Pingchuan! It was obvious that going to the air drop blindly was suicide. To Han Gui¡¯s disappointment, even after searching the entire P City for more than 20 minutes, he did not see another living person. The supplies were much more abundant than people. He turned back and looted the bags of the last four people he had killed. Then, Han Gui ran to the air drop box vigilantly. The moment he opened it, Han Gui could not help but feel excited. A Ghillie suit! An AWM! A 15x scope! Twenty shots of magnum bullets! A level 3 helmet! A level 3 armor! And a shot of epinephrine! This was the best combination of items! Without hesitation, he put all of them into his backpack. He swallowed the painkillers together with the drinks and he felt his energy levels replenish. His waist was no longer sore and his legs no longer hurt. He was now able to run with gusto! There were still no cars in the whole of P City! It seemed the only way to enter the safe zone was to run! The run through the map began! As he ran, Han Gui looked at his tactical panel. There were basically no urban areas to the south of P City. The only forms of civilization that were close to the bridge were two small housing areas. A bungalow by the sea and a fishing village! According to his calculations, the distance to either of those was about 1,000 meters. Han Gui planned to stay in the bungalow by the sea. How could he not take advantage of his 10x Multiplier? There were only two ways to enter the airport. His side was the closest. Of course, he could not rule out the possibility of people taking a detour or jumping over from M City. But other than that, there was no other way. He would definitely charge bridge fees. Besides killing and arson, stealing from others was always the fastest way to get rich! If one wanted to remain a saint in Infinite Game, they might as well just put a gun to their head and commit suicide.. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He did not run in a straight line on the road. It would be too dangerous. He would not even know where the shot would come from. Han Gui was not greedy. He ran in the direction of the bungalow by the sea. En route, there was a small housing area next to the seaside farm. Although it was close, a detour now would be a little time-consuming. But still, he wanted to check it out. With full energy, Han Gui moved extremely fast. It only took him a few minutes to cover the distance of seven to eight hundred meters. Han Gui hid behind a rock and watched his destination from afar. He did not rush forward rashly. It was quiet in the housing area. Some doors were open while others were closed. But there were no signs of bullets. There were only two possibilities. First, it might be that the person who had passed through here did not have the habit of closing the doors behind him, unintentionally making it seem as if there was no one around. Second, it might be that some people were smart and knew how to close the doors after themselves while others were stupid and did not do so. However, without exception, they did not seem to be at war. They probably wanted to stay in the rankings and become the last ten people alive. However, Han Gui could not keep watching. This time, he did not intend to kill anyone. He wanted to live in peace for a while. He snuck up to one of the houses and leaned against the wall. Then he went to the door and quietly opened it. The moment he sneaked in, Han Gui saw traces of collected resources on the ground. Someone had been here before! Their search had not been clean. There were still throwing objects and some scattered accessories on the ground. It was probably because he was reserving whatever remaining space he had in his backpack, so he did not take all of them. It could also be that he might have been collecting them in panic. Han Gui took out the shrapnel grenade. He was not sure if there was anyone on the first floor. He would just throw in a grenade first! At the very least, he would have a safe place to hide. Clang! The shrapnel grenade rolled in and exploded a few seconds later. The shockwave from the force of the explosion shook the entire building. Taking advantage of this moment, Han Gui bent down and ran in. Perhaps it was an illusion, but when the grenade exploded, Han Gui heard a slight scream. ¡­ Everyone had a hero in their hearts. Even in this impetuous 21st century, such people still existed, such as Yang Xinyue. She would never forget the person who protected her when she was five years old. When a wolfdog confronted her, a small boy stood between them despite his small figure. However, reality was always cruel. As they grew up, their families came between the relationship of the poor boy and the beautiful rich girl. But Yang Xinyue¡¯s resolve was not as weak as she looked. She had been determined from early on. When the boy left, she refused to give up. Sooner or later, he would come back to her She was willing to endure it all. After all, she was not a materialistic person that desired a luxurious life. All she wanted was to be with the boy in a safe haven together. Unfortunately, the heavens seemed to deliberately make things difficult for her. When she excitedly went to look for the boy so that they could enter a survival game together, he had not been home. In the end, she disappeared from her world and entered Infinite Game all by herself. The next thing she knew, she had arrived at the Island of Ruins. Infinite Game? Ten remaining survivors? Kill each other? She had come from a relatively peaceful society and such game rules made her afraid. She had parachuted and barely managed to run into a building with her weak legs upon landing. With great fear, she brought herself to pick up self-defense weapons and stumbled her way up the stairs to hide. She was afraid. She was so afraid. Every information she read about on the tactical panel made her tremble. People would really die here! She could still return to the real world but with only one year to live! She would also forget all the things that happened here. But what scared her the most was that she would not be able to be with the person she wanted the most. Yang Xinyue had been in hiding with fear for an hour. But every passing minute felt like hell. Due to her nervousness, her senses were sharpened. Every movement and sound, like the chirping of insects outside, was extremely clear to her. Suddenly, she heard the door open followed by some footsteps. Before she knew it, there was an explosion, as if a bomb had gone off. The violence of the explosion that shook the house made Yang Xinyue tense up even more. She instinctively let out a soft scream. She immediately covered her little mouth.Hher oval face turned pale and her big black eyes filled with fear. She was terrified. There was someone downstairs and she did not want to die. She hoped that at this helpless moment, the man in her heart would come to rescue her as he did in the past. She curled up on the bathroom floor with a gun in her hands pointed at the door. ¡°Brother Han Gui, Xinyue is so scared.¡± She whimpered softly, not daring to make too much noise. But she was prepared. The moment the person opened the door, she would pull the trigger. Downstairs, Han Gui did not know that there was a girl upstairs who had mentioned his name. After collecting the supplies downstairs, Han Gui walked upstairs vigilantly. He did remember hearing someone¡¯s voice upstairs. The sound was very short, but it was there. It sounded like a girl¡¯s. Was he going to kill the girl? He had never done this before, but in order to survive, he had to do it. There was no one here who could make him feel at ease. His footsteps were especially heavy. Han Gui did not want to face it. He wanted to turn around and leave, but he could not! Being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to himself. He did not want to have any regrets. What if she was left alive here but then shoot him in the finals? With the stun grenade in his hand, Han Gui was already prepared. The moment he threw it in, he covered his ears. The flash of the stun grenade did not reach him, but the ear-piercing sound still made him feel uncomfortable. He heard a soft sound and ran to the second floor with the AKM in his arms. He glanced around, but none of the rooms were open. This meant that he had to open the doors one by one. He was mentally prepared for this kind of door-breaking battle as he had done it a lot in P City. With one foot at the door, he instantly leaned against the wall. If someone was there, they would definitely shoot the moment the door was broken. On the quiet second floor, Han Gui quickly peeked inside the room. But there was no one there. Now there were only two rooms left on the second floor. One was a bedroom, the other, a bathroom. He kicked open the other bedroom door, but there was no one there either. Now Han Gui was standing at the bathroom door. Han Gui twisted the doorknob and pulled his hand back the moment he pushed the door open. Da! Da! Da! ¡°Ah!!! Go to hell!¡± The moment the door opened, ear-piercing gunshots and screams of fear echoed throughout the building! Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Da! Da! Da! ¡°Ah!! Go to hell! Go to hell! GO TO HELL!¡± The ear-piercing sound of gunfire, the whistling of bullets cutting through the air, and the girl¡¯s shriek echoed throughout the second floor. Ka! Ka! Ka! Her gun was now empty, but Han Gui did not move. He continued to lean against the wall. There was doubt in his eyes, and his face was filled with uncertainty. Han Gui felt that this voice¡­was so familiar. He turned around with the AKM still in his arms and pointed the muzzle at the girl who was curled up in the bathroom. She had two black ponytails, and her petite figure made Han Gui feel a little shocked. Other than the M416 in the girl¡¯s arms, she really looked like the little girl who had once given him quite a headache in the past. Perhaps the girl was too scared as she did not even refill the M416 when it was out of bullets. Her finger on the trigger was still tense. But Han Gui was not in a hurry to shoot. If it was really the little girl he knew, Han Gui would strangle himself if he shot her. ¡°Xinyue?¡± With a one-in-a-million hope, Han Gui called out. Xinyue? The girl¡¯s heart trembled in fear. Why was this voice so familiar? It sounded similar to that boy she had been thinking about. Her delicate oval-shaped face looked up and her beautiful and bright black eyes looked at the divine figure in a helmet standing in front of her. For a moment, she was stunned. The person in front of her looked like Han Gui. Even his clothes, minus the equipment, were the ones that she had bought him. Han Gui was dumbfounded. He recognized Yang Xinyue the moment she raised her head. She was still as sweet as ever at the age of 18 or 19. Yang Xinyue was the only girl that gave him a headache. What did she eat to have grown 1.65 meters tall? But the real question was, how did Yang Xinyue end up in Infinite Space? ¡°Brother Han Gui?¡± Yang Xinyue called out. When the man nodded his head, she was stunned again. She had been thinking about Han Gui just now, and now it was right in front of her. The fear in her heart surged out at this moment and the gun in her hand fell to the ground. She instantly threw herself into Han Gui¡¯s arms. ¡°Brother Han Gui, Xinyue is so scared!¡± Her delicate body was trembling. The young girl¡¯s cries made Han Gui¡¯s cold heart start to ache and soften. Han Gui put the gun back into his backpack and wrapped his arms around the little girl as he gently patted her back, comforting her. ¡°Don¡¯t cry anymore. I¡¯m here now, aren¡¯t I? Don¡¯t be afraid anymore. Tell me, why are you so unlucky to be here?¡± Xinyue refused to let go. It was as if Han Gui would disappear if she did. ¡°Brother Han Gui, your head looks so ugly! Take off your helmet. Xinyue wants to look at you.¡± The helmet may be ugly but it kept him alive! ¡°Let me go first. Let¡¯s go to the bedroom. The bathroom is too narrow. If someone attacks, there¡¯s no place to run.¡± There wasn¡¯t even a window. She couldn¡¯t even jump out of the window to escape. But let go? No way! She absolutely couldn¡¯t let go! ¡°I don¡¯t want to let go. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t affect your walking!¡± The little girl walked behind him with an extremely determined tone as she held his waist. He was dumbfounded. Han Gui had shamelessly raised his gun at her! And now her chest was pressed against his back. Soon, his other ¡®gun¡¯ also became raised. Well, if it didn¡¯t, Han Gui would have to see a doctor! Big! They were too big! This was what Han Gui was thinking. Only God knew how he would manage himself. Eventually, he managed to bring the girl to the bedroom. Han Gui leaned against the corner of the wall and took off his helmet. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m taking it off.¡± He scratched his head again and looked at Yang Xinyue. Yang Xinyue finally felt at ease. After going through so much within such a short period, she became resolute. If she liked someone, she had to say it! She had to confess! It would be best if he agreed, but if he didn¡¯t, she will just force it! All of a sudden, Yang Xinyue directly sealed Han Gui¡¯s lips! ¡®Am I being pushed against the wall?¡¯ But Han Gui felt very good about his first kiss. When she had wanted to kiss him in the past, Han Gui had always avoided it. It was reality after all: feelings were not everything. A rich and beautiful girl could not end up with a poor boy. However, he did not need to care so much now. Infinite World was one of survival, so he no longer had so many worries. The tongue was indeed the most powerful and tenacious part of the human body. Han Gui had not noticed it before, but now he did. It turned out that the two of them could still use their tongues to ¡®fight¡¯. In the ¡®Battle of Tongues¡¯, the inexperienced Yang Xinyue had attacked aggressively at the beginning, but she was defeated by Han Gui¡¯s every move. Her entire body went limp in Han Gui¡¯s embrace and an alluring scent assaulted his nostrils. Han Gui was intoxicated as his heart and certain body parts began to feel hot and unbearable. Yang Xinyue¡¯s head was feeling really hot now. She thought that she would scare Han Gui away. After all, he had been running away from her. The strong hand on her back almost crushed her. Han Gui¡¯s response made Yang Xinyue unable to react in time. This man was finally accepting her? Her small mouth was overpowered by the kiss. Every corner was explored and the tip of her toes could not stand it anymore. If she knew Han Gui would accept her in Infinite Space, she would have arrived earlier. She was already nineteen years old and yet she had never been in a relationship before. And she was the prettiest girl in school! She had a breathtakingly beautiful oval face, a petite figure, and a chest that surpassed a mature woman. The line of people chasing after her in school could go around the school a few times. She had even doubted whether Han Gui was a blockhead or if he was just a eunuch! It was said that all men were perverts! How could Han Gui not be attracted to her?! When she felt something pressing against her body, she knew for sure that Han Gui was still a healthy man! ¡°Girl, you¡¯re playing with fire!¡± Han Gui¡¯s eyes were filled with bewilderment. He only wanted to kiss her, but seeing that she was struggling, Han Gui held her up. What was going on now? ¡°Why are your legs coiled up? Why are you twisting your little butt? What are you doing? Are you trying to grind soy milk? Do you believe that ¡®soy milk¡¯ will really come out later?¡± Xinyue puffed her cheeks and wanted to pry open Han Gui¡¯s head to see what he was thinking. What was he talking about in such an obvious situation? If this dragged on, she would become an old virgin! Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Han Gui knocked on Xinyue¡¯s bright forehead and pointed out the window. ¡°Have you forgotten where this is? If I let you ¡®eat¡¯ me now, are you going to limp into the safety zone? Will you be able to walk?¡± She instantly calmed down, but the she was still a little unconvinced. ¡°Who knows if you¡¯ll still bring me along after this? And¡­ I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll be able to live till the end. My skills¡­ are very poor, or maybe¡­¡± She quickly continued. ¡°You can just take me in. When the time comes, I¡¯ll just take a bullet for you. That way, Brother Han Gui, your chances of survival will be higher.¡± Dong! ¡°Ouch! It hurts! Why did you hit me?¡± Han Gui thought that she had come up with a good idea after thinking for a long time, but it turned out to be that idea? Take a bullet for him? Let him live longer? Did he need it? Han Gui was very touched by her intentions. But he would not let Xinyue do that. Han Gui was confident that he could keep Xinyue alive. ¡°I¡¯m beating you to teach you a lesson. If it doesn¡¯t hurt, will you ever learn? I¡¯ll keep you alive. Both of us will definitely be among the remaining ten. When the time comes, we¡¯ll ¡®eat¡¯ every day until you beg for mercy. You¡¯d better behave now, understand? Don¡¯t do anything stupid. ¡°As long as you listen to me, I promise that I won¡¯t hide or run away from you. How about it?¡± Xinyue nodded as she held her head. As long as Han Gui did not hide from her, she would do anything. She had said that she was willing to take a bullet for him, so what else was she not willing to do? Han Gui took out the level 3 helmet and level 3 armor from his backpack and handed them to Xinyue before saying, ¡°You¡¯ll be much safer with these two on.¡± Xinyue obediently took them and put them on. ¡°What¡¯s your number? Let¡¯s form a team now. That way, even if you get knocked down, I can still save you. By the way, do you have a first-aid kit or something like that? How about an energy drink?¡± When talking about forming a team, Han Gui grimaced a little on the inside. He vaguely remembered himself saying he would never form a team, not even if he was beaten to death. He only wanted to kill people. It had only been less than an hour since he said that before he went back on his own word. It was too soon. Once he had formed a team with Xinyue, Han Gui realized that she was really poor. When he remembered how she didn¡¯t even pick up many supplies downstairs, Han Gui finally understood. ¡°Brother Han Gui, this helmet is so stuffy. It¡¯s also a little heavy. I can¡¯t even kiss you anymore.¡± ¡®Where are your priorities? Shouldn¡¯t safety be the first priority?¡¯ He looked at Yang Xinyue with a bitter smile. It was clearly a survival game, so why did it seem like a joke to her? ¡°Stop fooling around. With this helmet, you¡¯ll be fine even if your head gets shot. Now, I have something to ask you. ¡°Is there anyone else in this housing area? Have you seen how many people have come here or left?¡± Yang Xinyue looked at him blankly. She thought for a long time and pointed at the building next door. ¡°There¡¯s one over there. I don¡¯t know about the rest, but I heard gunshots in the other building. I think someone was killed.¡± Four buildings of goods. And at least one had fallen? Han Gui walked to the window and carefully looked outside before turning to Yang Xinyue and said, ¡°Xinyue, stay by the window. If someone is aiming at me from the other side, tell me quickly. I¡¯m going to clear the area!¡± She was shocked by Han Gui¡¯s murderous words. Go out? He would be beaten up! ¡°Brother Han Gui, you-¡± ¡°Listen to me. If we don¡¯t kill them, we will die. Do you understand?¡± Yang Xinyue held onto her M416 and bit her red lips as she watched Han Gui go downstairs. She didn¡¯t want Han Gui to take the risk, but she knew that she couldn¡¯t stop him. The only thing she could do was to keep an eye on the surrounding buildings and warn Han Gui in advance. She gripped the handle of her gun tightly. She wanted to help Han Gui, but she could not help but panic. She had to keep an eye on a few buildings at all times to ensure Han Gui¡¯s safety. On the first floor, Han Gui installed the red-dot scope on the AKM. He took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and walked out. This time, he was going to the building next door. Xinyue would help him monitor the other two buildings on the opposite side from the second floor. He had to eliminate the danger in the building next door before he could deal with the two buildings on the opposite side safely. He threw the grenade into the kitchen through the window while watching the two buildings opposite him vigilantly. They were only twenty meters away. If someone showed up by the window, he would be able to kill them with his Advanced Gun Mastery. It would be an instant kill. Boom! The muffled sound of thunder rumbled. Without hesitation, Han Gui ran in quickly. The first floor was empty and the rooms were all open. Was the person on the second floor? He quickly walked to the stairs and looked at the room next to him. There was no one there. It was safe. Standing on the first step of the stairs, Han Gui unpinned a shard grenade and threw it up. Boom! The grenade exploded. A large amount of dust fell from the roof. He quickly walked up the stairs and threw over a stun grenade at the same time. Han Gui did not proceed upstairs. This was a psychological battle. When the grenade exploded, there were finally sounds of footsteps coming from upstairs. If there were people there, they would definitely aim at the stairs. If they had been looking towards the stairs when he threw the stun grenade earlier, they would have been blinded by it. Even if they were not blinded, the explosion of the grenade was sudden and the ear-piercing sound would be enough to make people dizzy. It was a double strike. The explosion of the stun grenade reverberated throughout the building. Even if Han Gui covered his ears, he still felt a little uncomfortable, so how badly affected would his intended victims feel? He ran upstairs quickly without even needing to look. The sound of pain was Han Gui¡¯s best indicator. He ran towards the sound and looked at the man lying on the ground, screaming while covering his eyes. Han Gui pulled the trigger without hesitation. [Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with the AKM to kill Player 056. You have received 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Honorable Player 088, you have killed 11 people.] After killing another person, Han Gui heaved a sigh of relief. Now, for the two buildings across the street. Han Gui stood by the window and aimed at the opposite side. He wanted to see if the people there would reveal themselves. After all, there had been such a big commotion here. Under normal circumstances, even Han Gui would have taken a look. He had switched to his M24 in advance. He felt that it would have been better to use the AKM for the grand finale. Just as Han Gui aimed at the opposite side, he saw a brown-haired, blue-eyed man cautiously leaning against the wall with a dead body at the stairway.. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Brick usually liked to play with guns, but being selected to join Infinite Game had been a coincidence. The unexpectedness and reality of the situation terrified him. The worse was when someone had jumped with him during the parachuting phase. Upon landing, the other party managed to pick up a gun first, so Brick could only turn around and run upstairs in one of the buildings. Fortunately, there was a gun there too and he remembered he had experience with guns. He quickly changed out the bullets before engaging in a fierce battle with the man he had landed with. Fortunately, he managed to take out the man, though he had been shot twice and almost died during the battle. After that, he finally thought that he was safe. He was also in the safe zone, so he wanted to wait until things were over. However, he heard the sound of an explosion and gunshots from the opposite side not long after. His heart instantly jumped. This was not the end. After a short pause, he heard the sound of an explosion again. It was clear to him that those were grenade explosions. The sound of gunfire followed and soon a notification appeared on his panel. He felt a squeeze in his heart The person on the other side was dead? He did not know the exact situation. But he quietly stuck out half of his head as his blue eyes tried to gather as much visual information as possible. His gaze swept across the second floor but the sight of a black muzzle instantly made his heart turn cold. Puchi! A flash of fire appeared as his vision turned blood red. His entire head exploded instantly and his body was sent flying. [Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot using the M24 to kill Player 028. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Honorable Player 088, you have killed 12 people.] [Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 1/5 of Player 028¡¯s points. You have obtained 20 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 200 points.] When the sound of the notification ended, Han Gui wondered to himself. Was the person opposite him the final winner of the gunfight Xinyue had mentioned earlier? He turned around and went downstairs. There was only one building left to be searched. He could not believe everything Xinyue said. She had been so flustered at that time. How could she have heard or remembered anything clearly? After circling around and not finding any enemies, Han Gui heaved a sigh of relief. He searched all the buildings and returned to Xinyue. Xinyue lowered her head as Han Gui made his way to her. Her cute twin ponytails swung down dejectedly. ¡°Xinyue is useless.¡± Xinyue was in tears. Han Gui had asked her to watch the opposite side, but she had not done it properly. The people on the opposite side were all dead, and she could not even figure out what had happened. She felt so useless. But what could Han Gui say as he touched her head? Xinyue was not to be blamed at all. The person in the opposite building had been very cautious. In fact, Han Gui was only able to discover his presence only after he made a commotion in the building next door. She was probably just unlucky to have such opponents around her. ¡°Don¡¯t be dejected. You were of great use. If I am defeated by someone else, I will be waiting for you to revive me. You are my hidden weapon. With you around, I have the courage to fight with others. ¡°Look, it was a one-on-one. But the other side is dead, and I still have you! You can save me. Do you still think yourself as useless?¡± ¡°Really? You really think so?¡± Xinyue was confused as she tilted her head. She did not know the ins and outs of PUBG. ¡°Of course. Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. Let¡¯s start moving. After such a long delay, I¡¯m afraid the safe zone will be moving soon. There are no cars in this game so we can only continue on foot. Drink your energy drink first, and eat the painkillers.¡± ¡­ Han Gui took a look at his attributes as he was replenishing himself. Character: Han Gui Serial number: 088 Strength: 0.7 (human average value is 1) Agility: 0.9 (human average value is 1) Spirit: 1.4 (human average value is 1) Constitution: 1 (human average value is 1) Special bloodline: None Skills: Advanced Gun Master (rifle, light machine gun, sniper rifle, mini submachine gun, shotgun, pistol¡­) Talent: 10x Multiplier Items: M24 sniper rifle, AWM sniper rifle, AKM assault rifle, 20 magnum bullets, 7.62 bullets x1800, first-aid kit¡­ Current location: Island of Ruins Number of kills: 12 Character points: 11,400 Current teammate: Yang Xinyue He had killed a total of 12 people. Two of them had given him a bonus of 400 points so that he now had a total of more than 10,000 points. Wasn¡¯t this a huge sum of points? He looked at the tactical panel. There had originally been 100 people, but now there were only 53 people left. And it was only the third cycle. However, thinking about it, it only took him half an hour to complete one cycle. It seemed that the speed at which he moved and killed was quite slow. The game had been going on for nearly an hour and a half. The power grid had already spread to the front of R City and was moving towards P City. Han Gui felt that he had underestimated this power grid. It and the safe zone were accelerating with time. It was not moving at a constant speed at all. The higher the number of cycles, the higher the speed. The fourth safe zone¡¯s refresh time was actually only 20 minutes! The pattern of the safe zone was just as he had expected. It was heading towards the airport. Without hesitation, Han Gui pulled Xinyue, who had just finished taking her medicine, and started heading down the stairs. Just as he walked out of the door, a series of rumbles came about. Han Gui turned and saw a plane flying over from afar. Another air drop? He ran to the back of a hill and hid. Eventually, he saw the plane drop two small dots just a few hundred meters in front of him. Han Gui was instantly stunned. Damn! A double air drop? Han Gui pulled Xinyue along as he made a dash for the air drop location ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go grab the air drop boxes. This air drop is ours! Though it might be a little dangerous!¡± An opportunity could also be dangerous. The place of the air drop was a very vulnerable location. After all, it was at the junction of the beach bungalow and the fishing village. Basically, the perfect spot for a blood bath between the players of both sites. Furthermore, there were two air drops! Han Gui did not dare to imagine how the battle would turn out. But this air drop might disrupt his plans. He had originally planned to collect tolls at the beach bungalow from those trying to get into the safe zone. But at the current rate the safe zone and power grids were moving, he wasn¡¯t sure if he¡¯d be able to catch those people in time. If these air drops caused a three-way scuffle, then it would really be¡­. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xinyue was a little confused now. She was capable of running, but not with such large strides. Usually, she could only run 100 meters at most. But now she had run 300 to 400 meters without panting at all? ¡°This is the effect of the energy drink. You will not only be able to run fast, but you won¡¯t even have to worry about getting tired.¡± It was as if Han Gui could read her mind. But how was all this possible? ¡°Xinyue, get down!¡± In less than two to three minutes, Han Gui brought Xinyue to a slight slope. The terrain here was very good. The two slopes concealed him and Xinyue in the middle, preventing the possibility of a sneak attack. The air drops landed unsteadily. At the same time, a notification appeared on every players¡¯ tactical panels, and it was marked with an eye-catching red dot. [Ding! Attention, the air drop box has landed. The location is 113 meters in front of you. There are top-tier weapons and defensive equipment inside which can greatly increase your survival rate.] [Ding! Attention, the air drop box has landed. The location is 108 meters in front of you. There are top-tier weapons and defensive equipment inside, which can greatly increase your survival rate.] Two consecutive prompts announced the landing of the two air drops. Han Gui could already imagine how fierce the competition would be later. The two air drops had attracted the attention of a large number of people. Regardless of who wanted to be the first to make a move, all eyes were on the air drop boxes. After looking around, Han Gui took out an energy drink and said to Xinyue, ¡°Xinyue, keep drinking the energy drink. Once we¡¯re done, we¡¯ll be running! Do you see that side of the bungalow? Don¡¯t stop running towards it. Just follow me, got it?¡± Nodding, Xinyue drank a bottle of energy drink and waited for Han Gui to rush out of the hill. Xinyue quickly followed after him. The hill was still not safe and they were a little far from the bungalow. But it was a relatively safer option. They could attack or retreat easily and no one was paying attention to them. If they didn¡¯t run now, they probably wouldn¡¯t have time to run later. With the boost from the energy drink, even Xinyue could run a distance of more than 100 meters in 20 seconds. The energy drink was extremely useful. Just as Han Gui thought, no one had noticed him and Xinyue until they rushed into the two-story building. There were not many rooms in the building. There were only seven or eight and none made good scouting positions. Han Gui leaned against a window and looked out at the fishing village through the 15x scope he had picked up earlier. At this moment, both the square and the fishing village were very quiet, as if there was no one there. However, Han Gui refused to believe that. Everyone was waiting, waiting for the first person to make a move. ¡°Xinyue, look in the direction of the fishing village. Be careful. If anyone comes out, tell me immediately. I will observe the area in P City.¡± ¡°Got it. Xinyue will definitely put in all her effort!¡± Xinyue was determined to let Han Gui see how useful she could be this time! After switching to the 15x scope, the air drops now looked as if they were right in front of them. Even the distant hills, woods, and boulders could be seen clearly. As time passed, the power grid had already moved to P City. And there were still no movements around the air drops. However, Han Gui was not worried. In fact, he even smiled. Through the 15x scope, Han Gui could already see other players running madly on the road. They must have been forced out of S City and R City¡¯s school. He did not think that there would be people fighting for air drops here so soon. How could they still be calm? 800 meters¡­600 meters¡­100 meters¡­ There were seven people in total, and they seemed to be moving as an organized group. The seven people ran together in three groups of two, two, and three. It was the last 100 meters and the three groups of people were moving more than 50 meters away from each other. They covered each other from the front, back, left, and right. But they only had Beginner Gun Mastery, so it would be difficult for them to hit people from 50 meters away. When the seven people suddenly appeared, those in the housing area and the fishing village could not hold it in anymore, especially those in the housing area. The people closest to them had already fired. Bang! The sound of shots carried a strong deterrent force. Han Gui instantly recognized that it was the sound of a 98K. Only the sound of a sniper rifle could be so unique, especially with a single shot. Unfortunately, the accuracy was off. The 98K was considered the most difficult sniper rifle to use. The bullets fell very heavily and it was difficult for a non-expert to control this sniper rifle. As if it had triggered a fuse, the first shot had triggered the entire housing area into chaos. Gunshots came from every corner. And the shots kept coming, regardless of whether any hit the targets or not. The shooters just wanted to stop the group of seven from reaching the air drops. Han Gui watched pieces of soil flying wildly under the feet of the seven players in the distance through his 15x scope. That was how many bullets flew at them. Seeing that the players were getting closer, but none had been killed, the players in the housing area became anxious. ¡°Are we just going to shoot blindly and watch as someone else gets to the air drops? How about we come to an agreement? Whoever decides to take the initiative to aim and shoot at one of them, we join in and take them out one by one. Once we have dealt with them, then we¡¯ll split the air drop spoils among us based on our strengths. How about that?¡± The voice roared above the sound of gunshots and very quickly the place fell silent. Not too long after, other voices responded. ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°I agree!¡± ¡­ Eventually, everyone agreed. However, it would be very difficult to abide by such a verbal agreement. People turned into beasts in the face of temptation. Han Gui would never agree to it if he was present. Whoever did would be an idiot. When the time came, it was very likely that both sides would shoot at each other. Even the underworld in the real world was corrupted. Why would Infinite Space be any different? While Han Gui was still analyzing the situation, Xinyue¡¯s voice suddenly rang out: ¡°Brother Han Gui, Brother Han Gui! Quick! Quick! It¡¯s coming! It¡¯s coming out!¡± Han Gui almost dropped his gun. ¡®Woman, how can you have such thoughts now? I didn¡¯t even do anything!¡¯ When Xinyue turned to look at Han Gui¡¯s reaction, she froze. She suddenly realized what she had just said and her face instantly turned as red as a big apple. ¡°I meant that the people from the fishing village are coming out! I didn¡¯t mean anything else!¡± Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Still, it would have been better if she hadn¡¯t said that. Now, Han Gui¡¯s thoughts were even more skewed! Han Gui walked over and pinched Xinyue¡¯s perky butt. Then, he forced himself to look in the direction of the fishing village. The worst that he was expecting had happened. A three-way hustle. He reckoned that many heads would be lost this time. ¡°Xinyue, you can¡¯t hit a moving target, but a stationary target should be fine, right? If I don¡¯t kill a person in one shot but only make them immobile, you shoot them and finish up after me, got it?¡± Anyone who had played PUBG should know that in a team, the strategy was always to have at least one person lead the attack while at least one other cleaning up any misses after. Otherwise, someone else would steal the kill. Of course, this wasn¡¯t to prevent Xinyue from killing people per se. After all, Xinyue¡¯s skills were not at a level where she could hit a moving target, especially not at such a distance. Moreover, he had more experience in killing people. And the added bonus was that he had 10x Multiplier. To kill multiple birds with one stone, he would also be helping Xinyue raise her experience level. Xinyue did not have any objections to Han Gui¡¯s suggestion. She really did not care about the points. To Xinyue, as long as she could help Han Gui, she would be happy. But¡­ ¡®What just happened?¡¯ ¡®Brother Han Gui pinched my butt?¡¯ ¡®Ah! He really did it?¡¯ ¡®Then after this round, will he¡­?¡¯ Xinyue¡¯s imagination ran wild. In just ten seconds, she had already figured out the name of her future child and where the child would go to school in the future. Meanwhile, Han Gui set up the M24 and took out the 15x scope. At such a short distance from the fishing village, the 15x scope would probably send the second shot flying into the sky. Thus, the 4x scope was the most suitable one to use at this distance. Han Gui saw quite a number of people coming out from the fishing village as he spied through the 4x scope. There were four of them and they seemed to have a tacit understanding of each other. It was most likely that they had formed a team. They were running towards the air drop boxes with guns in their hands, shooting as they ran. The people from P City did not show any signs of weakness either. If they ran with only such a short distance between them and their enemies without thinking, they were courting death. They had to fight back. There were also five people running out from the housing area. They seemed to be moving in two teams. Now, there were sixteen people in the three-way hustle. Han Gui¡¯s pupils had constricted into points! Sixteen people! If he killed all of them, he could get 160,000 points! Han Gui aimed at the fishing village. There were too many people in P City, so it was not suitable for him to attack them now. If he exposed himself now, wouldn¡¯t he be in deep trouble? It was best to attack the fishing village first. Even if he knocked them down, others would just think that it was a person from the housing area. After all, it was a bullet from this side. Han Gui aimed at a player with a level 2 helmet and decisively pulled the trigger. The M24 had a silencer installed, thus concealing his shooting location in this ear-piercing battle. A bloody mist rose from the head of the running man. He had been shot in the head by the M24. Unless he had a level 3 helmet on, he should be dead cold by now. [Ding! You have achieved a headshot with the M24 to knock down Player 019. The player has a teammate. You must kill all the teammates or kill the fallen player again to gain points.] Han Gui had expected this, so he did not care. He pulled the gun bolt and aimed at another player. Xinyue¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw someone lying on the ground. It was her chance to show off! With a 4x scope on the M416, a single-shot fixed target could even be hit by someone who had just learned how to shoot! Bang! Bang! Bang! Despite the silencer, the sound of the M416 was still a little loud. But there was nothing to worry about since they had a distance of 100 meters between them. [Ding! You have finally killed Player 019. You have received 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 13 people.] PFFT! Another shot was fired and another player¡¯s head was shot while moving. Han Gui took the time to look at Xinyue and praised her. ¡°Well done, Xinyue!¡± Xin Yue was so excited that her face turned red. She held the M416 and fired a few more shots. [Ding! You have finally killed Player 027. You have received 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations, you have received 1,000 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 14 people.] The fishing village team was stunned. In less than a second, two of their teammates were killed. Fear made people go crazy, and the remaining two team members were really feeling it. They did not want the air drops anymore. The two players roared and shot at the players in P City and the housing area with their AKM without thinking. Their strong physiques completely complemented their use of the AKM guns. It seemed that they were well-trained. The people in P City and the housing area were eventually pushed back and hardly anyone dared to peek out at this point. Two people with an AKM each were able to fight off twelve people. This was not a joke. Who would dare to risk their lives? Unfortunately, the suppression was short-lived. Forty bullets poured out and the two sides quickly fought back. Han Gui quickly received a notification. [Ding! You have finally killed Player 078. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 15 people.] Just as Han Gui was about to fire, the last player had already fallen. It was unclear who had killed him. The fishing village had been completely wiped out. Now that it was a battle between the two sides again, Han Gui quietly put away his gun. ¡°Brother Han Gui, are we not going to fight?¡± ¡°We will, just not now. You will know when soon..¡± Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He had killed three players using three bullets before needing to change the magazine. Even with the expanded magazine, there were only four bullets left. There might not be time to change the bullets in the following battle, and Han Gui did not want to miss out on a kill while having to reload. ¡°We should act now. We¡¯ll let them fight first. That way, they won¡¯t be able to get airdrops if they don¡¯t finish fighting. Meanwhile, we¡¯ll take advantage of their fight and secretly steal their kills. Do you understand?¡± Han Gui explained to Xinyue who immediately understood. ¡°By the way, if there¡¯s anything that I can¡¯t deal with in time, you can go ahead and act too. Don¡¯t let others get away with it.¡± ¡°Okay! Xinyue understands.¡± They moved to another window which enabled them to view the entire battlefield ¨C the players in the housing area lying on the low slope and the three teams of players who ran over from P City. With the fishing village team completely wiped out, the atmosphere became even tenser. No one wanted to drag out the situation any longer. The power grid was approaching and the safe zone was about to relocate again. If they dragged it out for another half an hour, they would be electrocuted. The power grid¡¯s movement was accelerating. Behind the hill, Liu Hao turned to look at the few temporary subordinates around him while Xing instructed the others. ¡°We can¡¯t wait any longer. Let¡¯s start the fight. If we wait, no one will be able to escape.¡± After saying that, Liu Hao looked at another hill dozens of meters away and shouted. ¡°Opponents, let¡¯s shoot together. The power grid will be here in half an hour. If we don¡¯t act now, no one will be able to get to the air drops!¡± ¡°Okay! Let¡¯s do it together!¡± Once he heard the response from the other side, Liu Hao raised the Kar98k in his hand and started to aim through the 8x mirror. Liu Hao was quite skilled. In the real world, he was a mafia boss with more than a hundred people under his wing. So, forming a gang was not foreign to him. After a round of bluffing with a few mentions of benefits, two insecure players were fooled by him. Liu Hao did not have many hobbies. He did not take drugs ¨C he knew the harm they¡¯d do to his body. He also did not like to gamble. At most, he would fool around with women and drink. Other than that, he also liked to read novels. He had read novels that were similar to games like PUBG. When he had suddenly arrived in Infinite Space, he quickly got used to it. While he was alone in the flight cabin, he quickly looked around and started to list out the benefits and dangers of his situation. And two other players decided to join him. After landing, the three of them killed a few people. When they tasted the sweetness of the rewards, the two players became more obedient and started to see the fall of other teams as the latter¡¯s own bad luck. With the ferocity of Liu Hao and his group, the others decided to group up too. Unfortunately, it was a little too late. In the end, there were only two people left, and the two teams took over the bungalow by the sea. There were three people on one side and two people on the other side. Their fighting strength was about the same and no one wanted to die. Liu Hao did not want his team to act recklessly. Otherwise, they would just fall apart. After all, they had formed a bond. Who would dare break it when they¡¯ve gone through so much together? Liu Hao aimed at one of his opponents¡¯ heads through the 4x scope and pulled the trigger. However, Kar98K bullets were not made to travel such a distance, especially not 70-80 meters. The level 2 helmet on the opposing player split open like a book and he instantly fell backward. Liu Hao¡¯s face instantly lit up before it darkened again as he quickly realized what he had done. The opposing player had been hiding behind the hills too. If he fell backward, how else was Liu Hao supposed to take his finishing shot? ¡°F*ck! What luck!¡± Liu Hao cursed in his heart. He held the Kar98k like it was his precious treasure. This was a godly gun. The thrill of killing a level 2 player in one shot was something he really enjoyed. On the second floor, Han Gui chuckled. He had been waiting for this. Liu Hao might not have been able to take the shot, but Han Gui could! He had the benefit of having a high vantage point that allowed him to see the entire hill. Liu Hao felt bitter in his heart. It had not been easy for him to perform so well. But before he could be happy, his opponent had been killed by someone else! His heart dropped. The team from P City was also very confused, especially Fangyun, who was helping Player 090. When he saw his teammate suddenly die in front of him, he almost wet his pants in fear. There were only him and Player 090 on the team. Now that his remaining teammate was dead, he was the only one left. If Player 090 was shot again, wouldn¡¯t he die? Realizing that there are now two teams around him, Zhao Fangyun was afraid that they would kill him too. He didn¡¯t have any teammates, so he was very anxious. He didn¡¯t want to get to the air drops anymore. He just wanted to get away from this place. On the second floor of the housing area, Yang Xinyue looked at the player who had just been killed by Han Gui. She was very happy. Not because of the points and kills, but because whatever made Han Gui happy, made her happy too. Han Gui had killed Player 090 in a two-man team. Thus, if one died, there would only be one left. In order to prevent his kills from being stolen, Han Gui had to make a move quickly and finish off what he had started. The 4x scope was now aiming at the head of the remaining team member who was now running away in fear and panic. Han Gui¡¯s lips curled into a disdainful sneer. Since he had decided to run, he had to be prepared to die. Han Gui pulled the trigger and the head in the level 2 helmet was immediately sent flying by the force of the 7.62 bullets. It was an instant kill! [Ding! You have achieved a headshot with the M24 to kill Player 058. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 17 people.] His number of kills had increased again, reaching a terrifying number of 17 people. There were only 100 people in the entire game and Han Gui had already eliminated nearly a fifth of the players! This was only the third round! One of the teams from P City was suddenly eliminated, leaving only five players. Instantly, both sides were evenly matched. Other than Han Gui in the dark, there were only five players on both sides. The remaining two teams were cursing internally. Who was their third opponent? They wiped out a team right from the start. What on earth was this opponent doing? Wasn¡¯t this a little too terrifying? The team from P City was cursing while the team from the housing area felt a little fortunate. The P City team had lost members. This was their chance! ¡°Big Brother, what should we do? The power grid is getting closer!¡± Li Meng from P City looked at his big brother and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little anxious.. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Qiang also started to grow a little anxious when he heard his younger brother. The three of them had been fighting in the underground before they were suddenly transported to Infinite Game. With quick and simple observations of their situation, they had quickly understood what was going on. Infinite Space must have been one of the high and mighty black technologies out there. The three brothers put their heads together and decided to parachute into the school dormitory from the plane. They were not afraid to put up a fight. After landing, they relied on their Beginner Gun Mastery to take down everyone at the dormitory. The three brothers worked exceptionally well with each other. They came from the same mother after all. In addition to their many years of fighting in the underground, they were brothers who had always worked with each other towards victory. At the school dormitory, the three of them had killed more than ten people, with each of them taking at least three kills. As a result, their marksmanship had also improved. ¡°Third Brother, your helmet is a level three, the best among us. How about you stick your head out to attract attention?¡± The third brother¡¯s name was Li Yang. He listened to Li Qiang and picked up his gun before darting out of the low slope. Da! Da! Da! Da! Li Yang had pretty high arm strength as he had practiced underground boxing all year round. Even if his AKM shook violently, it was still well controlled compared to others¡¯. It seemed that those from P City were still quite strong. Despite knowing that, the opposing team would not simply receive P City¡¯s counterattack while laying down. However, did Liu Hao¡¯s teammates really think they could easily hit the target across 70 to 80 meters? Dream on! Only the sniper rifle in his hands could kill whoever it hit at that range! He raised his Kar98k and took aim. He wasn¡¯t worried about getting hit. Then, he pulled the trigger without hesitation. Bang! ¡­ Unfortunately, the power of the Kar98k was still not good enough for a distance of 70 to 80 meters. Li Yang had only felt as if he had been hit on the head by a hammer. However, he was still physically stunned and his HP dropped as well. Just as Liu Hao got up, Li Qiang, who had long been prepared, aimed at Liu Hao¡¯s head. A cloud of blood mist exploded above his head, and Liu Hao instantly fell to the ground, his HP turning red. ¡°F*ck! Why did that guy have a level 3 helmet? What a joke! Hurry up and help me! I¡¯ll definitely f*cking hit him next time¡­¡± Xiu! Pu! [Ding! You have achieved a headshot with the Kar98k and hit Player 044. Please keep up the good work.] Li Qiang put his gun away and squatted back down. The notification on the tactical panel made him very happy, but he was not too excited. This was only a knockdown, not a kill. He turned to look at his younger brother who was holding his head and asked with concern, ¡°Third Brother, how are you feeling?¡± Li Yang shook his head and looked at his nearly lost HP before inspecting the durability of his level 3 helmet. He said, ¡°I¡¯m okay. My level 3 helmet can still take a shot, but it almost knocked me out. I¡¯m still feeling a little nauseous. I¡¯m taking medicine now.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve also taken down the sniper on the other side. It¡¯s just a pity that I can¡¯t see him now. I can¡¯t¡­ F*ck! My kill!¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Li Qiang cursed. Li Yang, who was taking medicine, was instantly stunned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Big Brother?¡± With a constipated expression on his face, Li Qiang suppressed his anger and said, ¡°Look at the tactical panel. F*ck, my kill has been stolen by that 088 again!¡± Li Yang and Li Meng immediately opened their tactical panel. The kill had really been snatched. Li Yang felt as if blood was rising in his throat as he spat to the side. He took a shot for them to be able to make a kill in the other team. But it seemed that the three of them were only preparing the kills for someone else. What the f*ck! ¡°Big Brother, what do we do now?¡± With a gloomy face, Li Qiang turned his head and looked into the distance. ¡°Are you guys dead as well?! If you don¡¯t get over here soon, we¡¯d all just be sitting ducks!¡± The other two-man team from P City was shocked by Li Qiang¡¯s roar. When they realized that the power grid was about to move again, they also started to make a move. They could not bear to wait around any longer. If they weren¡¯t killed by their opponents, they¡¯d be taken out by the power grid. ¡°Do you have any smoke bombs? Throw them out if you do so we can rush over and join you. The opponent is now one man down, so we have the advantage in numbers!¡± Li Qiang responded through gritted teeth. ¡°Throw smoke! Let¡¯s regroup and get¡¯em!¡± On the second floor, Han Gui had stolen another kill. He was elated. The feeling of passively stealing a kill was very satisfying, especially when he had just killed Player 044. The person next to him was almost scared to death by the exploding head. Character: Han Gui Serial number: 088 Strength: 0.7 (human average is 1) Agility: 0.9 (human average is 1) Spirit: 1.4 (human average is 1) Constitution: 1 (human average is 1) Special bloodline: None Skills: Advanced Gun Mastery Talent: 10x Mastery Items: M24 Sniper Rifle, AWM sniper rifle, AKM assault rifle¡­ Current location: Island of Ruins Number of kills: 17 Character points: 17,600 Current teammate: Yang Xinyue ¡°I have killed 18 people now and gained another 1,200 points. Awesome!¡± ¡°Brother Han Gui, look over there!¡± Just as Han Gui was checking his panel, Yang Xinyue¡¯s voice suddenly reached his ears. Han Gui hurriedly turned his head to look out the window. He saw a large path made up of white smoke suddenly appearing and barely saw five players rushing out from the low slope. Looking at the tactical panel, the power grid had almost covered P City. Han Gui immediately understood what was happening. These people were desperate! Han Gui was not the only one who had noticed the smoke bombs. The team from the housing area had also noticed it. No matter how stupid they were, they knew an attack was incoming. Thud, thud, thud! They did not waste any time hesitating. No one wanted to die. If they were attacked by the enemy, they would lose the advantage of the terrain. They had fewer people, so they would definitely be destroyed by the enemy if they just sat and did nothing. The four of them pointed their guns at the smoke. Regardless of whether they could hit the enemy or not, they would just attack! New smoke bombs kept being thrown out from within the clouds of smoke. It seemed like they were planning to use the smoke bombs to conceal themselves the entire way until they reached their opponent. There was no other way, not on such a terrain. It would have been fine if they were in another place. At most, they would have taken a detour. However, they were at the end of the bridge. How could they jump into the sea? How sure were they that there were no sharks? Could they swim? There weren¡¯t even any cars. How would there be any boats? The four guns kept firing. It was unknown whether it was luck or something else, but someone really fell in the smoke. Unfortunately, the smoke was too thick and Han Gui could not tell who. He could only helplessly hold the M24 in a daze. However, the smoke quickly dispersed. Fortunately, no one helped him up. It seemed that they were planning to rush over first and save him after killing the opponents. However¡­ With Han Gui around, there was no way anyone could be saved on the battlefield. They would just end up his stolen kills.. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Yang felt a little bitter as he lay on the ground. His level 2 armor had been directly destroyed. He could not move back into the smoke himself even when he was lying on the ground. He could only hope that his two brothers would end the battle soon. However, this wish would never come true. As the 7.62 bullets exploded from Han Gui¡¯s gun, Li Yang¡¯s body was instantly penetrated and his corpse rolled a few meters away. The news of their brother¡¯s death caused the Li brothers to stop in their tracks in the smoke. Soon after, blood vessels covered their eyes. ¡°No, Third Brother! Curse you all! I¡¯m going to kill each and every one of you today!¡± [Ding! You have finally killed Player 081. Obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations, you have obtained 1000 points.] [Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained 1/5 of Player 081¡¯s points. Obtained 60 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations, you have obtained 600 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 19 people.] Han Gui was a little surprised when he received the kill count. He had not expected to kill one of the three brothers. The rage and wails in the distance did not reach Han Gui¡¯s ears. Not even a megaphone could transmit sound over more than 100 meters. But even if he heard it, Han Gui would not feel guilty. Killing people was not his intention. However, in Infinite World, if you did not kill others, they would kill you. Han Gui¡¯s current creed was that humanity, compassion, and kindness should all be put aside. He knew that if he let any of those moralities get to him, it would just be an invitation for others to kill him. Thud, thud, thud! ¡°Die! All of you die! Player 088, where are you? I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± With an angry roar, Li Qiang rushed out with SCAR-L in his arms. A SCAR-L was different from the AKM. Its recoil was relatively weaker, and the muzzle of the gun was not too shaky. It was a relatively easy gun to use. With a monstrous fury, Li Qiang rushed out from the smoke. His blood-red eyes and large size indeed gave a strong visual impact to the people in the housing area ¨C they were completely stunned. Da! Da! Da! Li Qiang pulled the trigger on SCAR-L and fired continuous and relentless shots everywhere. If it were not for the obstructions around them and the instability of the gun¡¯s muzzle, the two players in front of Li Qiang would have probably been wiped out. Li Qiang¡¯s murderous aura was not a joke since he had been practicing underground boxing all year round. He had bled out his fair share of victims. When they got hit, the two players in the opposing team immediately came back to their senses and immediately fired back. Li Qiang was not able to defend himself against the attack from two players. He lost his footing and instantly fell. However, before he fell, he still managed to knock one of the two opposing players to the ground. Li Meng did not run as fast as Li Qiang. By the time he rushed out, Li Qiang had already fallen. With the S686 in his hand, he immediately shot at everyone. The shotgun¡¯s wide-range attack instantly sent the two opposing players flying. The two Li brothers had each taken a kill. But they had no time to celebrate. Li Meng threw a smoke bomb, intending to help Li Qiang up first. But before he could do or say anything else, blood splattered onto his face as he bent over to help his brother up. Li Meng was dumbfounded as he looked at the headless body of his brother. Then, almost immediately, his vision turned red too. Han Gui pulled the bolt of the gun from the second floor as his face remained expressionless despite having just witnessed two heads flying off. ¡°Ding! You have finally killed Player 082. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.¡± [Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 1/5 of Player 082¡¯s points. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Honorable Player 088, you have killed 20 people.] [Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with M24 to kill Player 083. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points!] [Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 1/5 of Player 083¡¯s points. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 21 players!] He had instantly killed another two players but Han Gui had no time to be happy. He immediately turned his gun around and looked back at the battlefield. He found two more corpses on the ground while a player pulled his teammate further away behind a low slope. It seemed that the team from the housing area had won the battle. Poof! Han Gui pulled the trigger. Before the player on the ground could be helped up, he had already turned into a corpse. The player who was helping him up became so scared that he just sat on the ground. The bullets were loaded and Han Gui pulled the trigger on the final player. It was the perfect ending to this three-way chaotic battle. [Ding! You have finally killed Player 055. You have received 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations, you have received 1,000 points.] [Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 1/5 of Player 055¡¯s points. You have obtained 20 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 200 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 22 people.] [Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with M24 to kill Player 048. Obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points!] [Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 1/5 of Player 048¡¯s points. You have obtained 40 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 400 points.] [Ding! Honorable Player 088, you have killed 23 people!] Han Gui let out a breath of air as he looked at the corpses in the hills. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go fill our bags with their leftovers and then head to the air drops.¡± There were more than ten corpses lying haphazardly. From afar, it did not seem like much. But when they got closer, even Han Gui felt a little nauseous. He had originally wanted Xinyue to go to the side to wait for him, but she was very stubborn. Just like him, she bent over and began to collect her goods. But Han Gui was very pleased that Xinyue was like this. Infinite Space might probably become even crueler. If she didn¡¯t get used to it now, it would be even more difficult for her to adapt in the future. They were able to collect a lot from the corpses, adding another large sum to Han Gui¡¯s backpack. Han Gui had given up on the backpacks further away. The fourth cycle had been completed and now the main focus was on the airport of the island. There was not much time left for them. On the tactical panel, there were only 24 people left including him and Xinyue. He had to find a better place to enter the safe zone. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how many people he killed. No matter how many points he had, he had to be alive to spend them. ¡°Let¡¯s go and get the air drops!¡± He took Xinyue¡¯s soft little hand in his and made a run for it.. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When they arrived at the first air drop, they saw the M249 light machine gun, 200 rounds of 5.56 bullets, adrenaline shots, level 3 helmets, level 3 armor, and two medical boxes. This air drop box wasn¡¯t great but it wasn¡¯t bad either. The M249 gun was still quite a good gun. Han Gui put everything into his backpack and headed toward the second air drop site. Level 3 helmets, level 3 armor, an AWM sniper rifle, 20 magnum bullets, 8x scope, and a Ghillie suit. This air drop was not bad. Now, he and Xinyue both had Ghillie suits. They could camouflage in the grass once they arrive at the airport. It would be so much safer. Speaking of which, Han Gui had tried the legendary level 4 helmet, which was a frying pan. But¡­ It was a fluke. If an AKM was used on him, the bullets would directly pierce through the helmet, turning it into a sieve. Xinyue was shocked to see Han Gui stuff everything into his backpack. She was not saying that Han Gui was greedy, but how many items had he picked up this entire time? The ten backpacks that she had picked up were already full. How could Han Gui still be able to fit them after stuffing so much in? Han Gui noticed Xinyue¡¯s expression and smiled. ¡°My backpack is a little bigger than yours.¡± She immediately understood. As for why it was bigger, she couldn¡¯t be bothered to figure it out. Han Gui was the one who would benefit anyway. If he was happy, she was happy too. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s cross the bridge. Be careful. Follow behind me.¡± The power grid was on its way. Han Gui did not dare to delay any longer. After gathering his energy, he pulled Xinyue along and started running. The reason he had planned things this way was that he was afraid there would be people on the bridge. His eyes and alertness were higher than Xinyue¡¯s. If any danger approached, his reaction would be faster than Xinyue¡¯s. The bridge that spread across the ocean was about 200 meters long. It was filled with unending bars. Han Gui felt relieved that there was no one on the bridge to collect tolls. It was a blessing in disguise. They reached the fishing village at the end of the bridge. But Han Gui was still on high alert. He and Xin Yue stood separated by five meters and slowly pushed open a door. The one walking in front this time was Xinyue. She insisted. With her leading the way, even if she was hit, Han Gui would definitely be able to wipe out the team. Originally, Han Gui did not want this to happen but she was very stubborn. He had no choice but to give her the S686. The S686 was a close-range divine weapon and had two bullets. If it did not miss its target, even someone with level 3 equipment would have to kneel when shot. Han Gui had already briefed her: push the door open and enter. If she saw anyone, don¡¯t think too much about it, just shoot and it would all be over. Han Gui would break into the rooms after Xinyue. As they opened doors, they still saw no one. Had he picked up so many things for nothing? It wasn¡¯t until Xinyue opened the door of the fourth house that the sudden gunshots made Han Gui tense up. Thud! Thud! Thud! Bang! Bang! The shots came from a close distance, right behind the door. The level 3 armor on her body was instantly shot twice. Xinyue remembered Han Gui¡¯s words. She held the S686 and pulled the trigger. After two consecutive shots, the players in the room flew out as if they had been hit by a truck. [Ding! Congratulations on using the S686 to kill Player 007. You have obtained 100 points. Currently, you have killed 1 person.] [Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 1/5 of Player 007¡¯s points. You have obtained 80 points.] Xinyue was stunned when she heard the notification. Did she just kill someone? Just like that? Han Gui, who was already ready to rush in through the window, was also stunned. Xinyue had just killed someone? ¡°Brother Han Gui. I killed¡­ someone?¡± Xinyue was still a little stunned. She only pulled the trigger and the person opposite her had died. But why did it feel so unrealistic? ¡°Well, you did kill someone, and it was a ruthless character who had killed four people.¡± Han Gui could also see the notification on the interface. He and Xinyue had removed almost everyone on the other side of the bridge. This person was probably the one who jumped off the bridge and killed four people by himself. He had been punished by S686. Even if he had fired first, he would not have been able to withstand the damage from the shotgun. This was a kind of damage that even a level 3 armor could not withstand. She¡¯s the two-shot goddess! ¡°A ruthless character who killed four people? Is he that powerful? Why do I feel that it¡¯s so simple¡­ so killing people is that simple?¡± Xinyue was confused. She had originally thought that killing people would be very difficult. Heh¡­simple? Han Gui was speechless. With an S686, it was indeed very simple to hit someone within 10 meters. And as long as it was hit, a kill was a piece of cake. It was indeed quite easy¡­ ¡°Xinyue, let me tell you. The S686 is invincible within ten meters. Whoever is shot will die, but it can¡¯t be used for long-range attacks. Remember, there are only two bullets, but the damage is very high. ¡°Don¡¯t be careless.¡± He had to encourage her, but he also had to give her the necessary reminders. He did not want Xinyue to be overconfident. If she were to shoot at an automatic rifle or a sniper rifle, it would be suicide. ¡°Brother Han Gui, Xinyue knows. It¡¯s written on the tactical panel of the S686 gun. Xinyue will not be careless. Xinyue will always be with you.¡± Han Gui was relieved by how obedient this girl was. Han Gui and Xinyue sat in a room to administer medicine to each other. At the same time, Han Gui looked at the tactical panel. In these ten minutes, the number of survivors had reduced again, from 24 to 20. Four of them had died at once. As the safety zone became smaller, the situation naturally became less and less optimistic. Character: Han Gui Serial number: 088 Strength: 0.7 (human average value is 1) Agility: 0.9 (human average value is 1) Spirit: 1.4 (human average value: 1) Constitution: 1 (human average value: 1) Special bloodline: None Skills: Advanced Gun Mastery Talent: 10x Multiplier Items: M24 Sniper Rifle, AWM sniper rifle, AKM assault rifle, M249 light machine gun¡­ Current location: Island of Ruins Number of kills: 22 Character points: 25,800 Current teammate: Yang Xinyue He had killed 22 people and obtained 25,800 points. Though he didn¡¯t think he had killed the most, he knew that he was at least in second place in terms of points.. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He threw the energy drink bottle to the side and took out the Ghillie suits from before. Han Gui and Xinyue looked at each other and put them on. The fifth cycle had been completed. 80% of the entire map of the Island of Ruins was now covered by the power grid, leaving only the airport as the remaining safe zone. He was now going to enter the safe zone with Xinyue. The Ghillie clothes could effectively camouflage them. As long as they walked while squatting and did not need to climb. Han Gui tried it on and Xinyue could not tell that he was human even if he was dozens of meters away. The two of them pushed the door open and ran out with their backs bent. Although they did not move fast, they were safe. Han Gui¡¯s idea was to walk while squatting when they were closer to the airport and move into the safe zone bit by bit. In such a situation, one could never be too cautious. History was always written by the victors, and only the victors were praised. Running with a bent back reduced their speed. They had run about six hundred meters within ten minutes. By the time Han Gui and the others moved into the airport, it was already the sixth cycle. The later they got to the safe zone, the faster it refreshed. It did not change much, but it did shrink a little. Xinyue sat next to Han Gui as they looked at the map and asked in a low voice, ¡°Brother Han Gui, what should we do? Should we stay here?¡± Han Gui felt a little troubled as he looked at the map. They were now outside the airport and the military base was ahead of them. There were asphalt roads but there was no grassland to cover them. The land in front of them was too barren. In front of them was a tarp shelter while the police station was on the right and C Building was on their left. If they moved rashly, they might become targets. They couldn¡¯t pick the tarp shelter. It was too open. Making base there would be making themselves open targets. There was no cover. Their only options were the police station and C Building. After thinking for a while, Han Gui gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go this way!¡± Xinyue saw moving dots on the tactical panel map and her eyes widened as she exclaimed, ¡°Are we really going to go there? I¡¯m afraid there are already people inside!¡± Han Gui¡¯s goal was C building. In PUBG, this was a place where all players fought for. Eight out of ten people would usually choose to run towards it. However, this was not a game. Han Gui did not know exactly how many people there were. Han Gui had thought carefully about choosing C Building. The tarp shelter was too dangerous. If the tarp shelter was not in the safe zone, he would not be able to run away. The police station was even more dangerous. If he crossed a few hundred meters without any cover, he would definitely die. However, C Building was different. There were two big trees behind C Building that could completely act as a cover. Moreover, the back of Building 1 was covered with grass. With their Ghillie suits, they wouldn¡¯t have anything to worry about if they could settle themselves there. If he and Xinyue were able to sneak into C Building, their suite of equipment would be able to fend off any enemies they encounter. Even a four-man team would not be able to hold their ground in the face of an S686, level 3 helmets, level 3 armors, and his Advanced Gun Mastery. Xinyue immediately understood Han Gui¡¯s plan and reassured him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Brother Han Gui. Xinyue is your best human shield! As long as Xinyue remains standing, Brother Han Gui will definitely be fine!¡± Han Gui¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he immediately felt dizzy. He needed to get himself together. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. Let¡¯s go over first. You don¡¯t have to be my human shield. I¡¯ll probably be able to finish off those people before you fall.¡± Han Gui was very glad. He had quite a lot of level 3 armor and level 3 helmets in his bag. In fact, he had at least three of each. Han Gui was confident in their defense level against their enemies. After fully recharging, the two of them began to crawl in parallel. The distance to their target location was quite big so they might as well crawl side by side. The chances of them being discovered were relatively small. Two people stood in the police station, facing each other. ¡°Douglas, I didn¡¯t expect us to meet under such circumstances. We should form a team. Have you thought about what happens after the game ends?¡± On the right side of the window was an ordinary-looking young man with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary body besides a scar on his arm. He was the embodiment of the phrase, ¡®blend in with the crowd¡¯. The man who stood on the opposite side looked completely different from him. The other man wore a black leather jacket, had a stern face, and sported an especially ferocious scar on his face. He fell silent for a moment when he heard the ordinary man¡¯s question. ¡°What are you saying?¡± Douglas¡¯ words were very short and cold. But the young man did not mind as he continued to speak, completely relaxed. ¡°This is not such a simple place and there¡¯s no returning home. The points awarded seemed to be quite useful though. Based on the announcement at the beginning of the game, we can probably exchange them for some pretty useful things. ¡°Plus, this space is very dangerous. You and I both know our strengths. Do you want to become a team like this in the future? It can be a win-win situation.¡± ¡°Sure.¡±. Almost without thinking, the moment the young man finished speaking, Douglas agreed. ¡°Let¡¯s get to know each other. My name is Jericho. The Wasp is my code name.¡± Jericho extended his hand as he introduced himself. He was not surprised by Douglas¡¯ response, almost as if the former had already expected it. Looking at Jericho¡¯s hand, Doug put down the gun that he had been cleaning and returned the handshake. ¡°Pleasure working with you!¡± A happy smile appeared on Jericho¡¯s face but it was just a flash in the pan. Han Gui did not know about the alliance between the two assassins in the police station. If he saw them, he would definitely recognize them. They were the two people he had once paid attention to in the flight cabin. Han Gui had paid attention to them because their behaviors were too different. When everyone was panicking, only these two people remained very calm. And that ordinary-looking young man was the only one who had spoken to Han Gui at the respawn location. ¡­ When they had arrived under the trees by C Building, Han Gui finally heaved a sigh of relief. Xinyue leaned against the tree and asked, ¡°Brother Han Gui, what should we do now?¡± Chapter 20 - Entering C Building Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Han Gui was not afraid of being seen with his Ghillie suit on. He pointed at the window facing the two of them in Building 1 and said, ¡°Do you see those windows? Let¡¯s run over there quietly, break the glass with the handle of the gun, and then climb in. You knock on the one at the end, and I¡¯ll knock on the one in the distance. After I break the glass, I¡¯ll look for you. Do you understand what I mean?¡± Xinyue nodded. Such a simple tactic. She did not need to think too much to understand that if two windows at a distance broke at the same time, those in the building would be distracted and confused. This would create a buffer time for her and Han Gui. Han Gui raised his head and looked at the various large windows on the back of Building 1. When he did not see anyone, Han Gui shouted in a low voice. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Han Gui bent over with his gun in his arms and ran quickly to the window at the back of Building 1. As Xinyue was relatively close, she was the first to reach the window. She gestured to Han Gui, raised her gun, and knocked on the glass. Crack! The glass shattered. On the other side, Han Gui also shattered the glass and turned around to run towards Xinyue. Both of them climbed into C Building and Han Gui heaved a sigh of relief. As long as they could enter safely, their chances of surviving to the end would be increased by half. Without any delay, Han Gui quietly pushed the door open and quickly peeked into the corridor inside. When he did not see anyone, he walked in with his back bent. ¡°Brother Han Gui, let me go in front!¡± Xinyue did not dare to speak loudly but she still insisted. ¡°Stop fooling around. There¡¯s a change in tactics. You¡¯re in charge of opening the doors. If you see anyone shooting, I¡¯ll cover you. Corridor fights mean long-distance shooting. Rifles, especially powerful rifles like the AKM are more suitable.¡± She did not dare to refute. After Han Gui quickly ran past a door, Xinyue pushed it open while leaning against the wall. She immediately turned around and pointed the muzzle of her gun into the room. When she did not find anyone, she quickly opened the door on the opposite side. Despite advancing at such a speed, they still did not find anyone. This was also within Han Gui¡¯s expectations. Under normal circumstances, there would not be anyone on the first floor. If anything, the people would be on the second floor. They did not let down their guard as they stood at the bottom of the stairs. ¡°Xinyue, you walk in front. It¡¯s the same as before. If there¡¯s anyone, just shoot. I¡¯ll cover for you from behind!¡± She nodded and walked past Han Gui. Xinyue held the S686 in her hand and walked up the stairs nervously. She went up to the second floor and stood at the end of the stairs. Han Gui tilted his head to look at the corridor. Some of the rooms were open and some were closed. Han Gui gave Xinyue a look that said, ¡®Xinyue, turn around and walk out.¡¯ He and Xinyue moved in unison. They walked to the door quietly and pushed it open carefully. Creak¡­ Unfortunately, the door was quite old and made a sound as they pushed it. Xinyue looked inside and her heart skipped a beat. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that one person would guard the room? Which one of you ran over here?¡± The players in the room did not realize the danger. As they spoke, they slowly turned around. Bang! Bang! Without hesitation, Xinyue shot the players and the latter instantly fell to the ground. The damage of two S686 shots was not to be underestimated. Behind Xinyue, Han Gui¡¯s heart trembled. He did not expect that there would be people in the first room. He went past Xinyue, grabbed her, and hid inside a cabinet behind the door. ¡°F*ck! The game is not over yet and you guys are already killing our people?¡± An angry roar came from the front of the corridor. The room opened and a bearded man ran out with a gun in his hands. Following closely behind him were five or six players who came out of the room. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Where did the gunshots come from?¡± There were actually two teams in Building 1. Han Gui really did not expect that. However, since they had already come out, they would just have to deal with it then. He stretched out half of his body and switched the AKM in his hand to an M249. At a time like this, there was no need to use an AKM! The group of people was all in the corridor. It would be over in a flash! Big Beardy was confused. If there were six people on his side and two that had died, who killed the latter? After all, there should only be eight people in total. Just as he was trying to figure out what was going on, the sound of gunshots came from behind him. The bullets that came from all directions instantly stunned them. Da! Da! Da! The M249 was a light machine gun that was dropped from the air. The magazine of 100 bullets could be said to be superior among others in PUBG, compensating for their low damage. Bang! Xinyue was not willing to be outdone. The S686 in her hand also spewed out fireworks to cover for Han Gui and also to cause damage. Being drowned by the rain of bullets, the opponents were instantly caught unprepared. A large amount of blood splattered from their bodies. ¡°Go back! All of you, go back! We¡¯ve been ambushed! Hurry up and retreat!¡± Fortunately, they had level three armor on. The opponents turned around and went back into the room as Big Beardy shouted repeatedly. The rest of the players were not stupid. With such fierce firepower, why wouldn¡¯t they run? However, not everyone managed to escape. Han Gui managed to get three players. ¡°Xinyue, come with me. Throw all of your grenades!¡± He still needed time to reload 100 rounds of 5.56 bullets. Apart from the three people who had fallen, there were still four of them. Han Gui was not at ease. He had to suppress them with firepower. Xinyue did not care too much as she pulled out the pins and threw them forward. The three players on the ground had despair in their eyes. ¡°No! No!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t kill me! Don¡¯t throw the grenades!¡± Boom! Boom! Boom! The continuous explosions shook Building 1, causing a large amount of wall dust to fall. By the end of it, Building 1 looked like it was about to collapse. [Ding! You have used M249 to kill Player 004. Obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 24 people.] [Ding! You have used M249 to kill Player 011.

You have used M249 to kill Player 014. Obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 26 people.] The players who fell to the ground had been blasted to death and their kills went to Han Gui. As Han Gui walked, he fired the M249 at the doors. No matter how many bullets there were, there would be a time when they would run out. But Han Gui did not hesitate. He threw the M249 on the ground, changed into his AKM, and continued. After throwing the nine grenades, Xin Yue quickly changed to the S686 and followed Han Gui. ¡°Xinyue, be alert at all times. If anyone comes out, shoot him to death! I¡¯ll break the door.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Chapter 21 - Three Men and One Woman - Theres Not Enough Meat to Go Around Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Han Gui ran to a door and kicked it open before throwing the shrapnel grenade in ¡°No! No! No!¡± Big Beardy had just heard the gunshots stop. Before he could counterattack, he saw the door kicked open and a green shrapnel grenade thrown in. He immediately let out a cry of despair. Boom! [Ding! You have used a shrapnel grenade to kill Player 045. Obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 27 people.] Had he wiped out the whole team? But Han Gui did not even look at Big Beardy¡¯s corpse. He kicked open another door and threw another grenade in. Boom! With a muffled sound, a knock-down notification was sent. Two people in another room started to panic after hearing the brutality of Han Gui¡¯s team¡¯s methods. They immediately shouted through the door of the room. ¡°Brother, let¡¯s talk it out. There aren¡¯t many people left now. How about we team up and kill the others? When there are only ten people left, the game will be over!¡± ¡°Brother, there are two of you and two of us. Here, you can kill the players you knocked down. After that, let¡¯s form a team. How does that sound?¡± The face of the player that had been knocked down suddenly turned pale. He shouted at his teammates in shock. ¡°How can you do this to me?! You will die a horrible death!¡± He and his mates had just been abandoned by these two! Han Gui was not in a hurry to make a move. He quietly took out a grenade and pulled off the ring before asking, ¡°Are you serious? Are you sure you want to form a team?¡± The two players inside the room were instantly delighted by Han Gui¡¯s question. They did not dare to hesitate and quickly said, ¡°We are serious. We are definitely not lying!¡± ¡°Well, I believe you, but¡­¡± The door opened and a shrapnel grenade rolled in. Boom! [Ding! You have used a shrapnel grenade to kill Player 020. You have received 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 28 people.] [Ding! You have used a shrapnel grenade to kill Player 099. You have received 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 30 people.] Han Gui let out a sigh of relief as he leaned against the wall and listened to the notification. ¡°But I don¡¯t trust you. If you can abandon your teammates now, what prevents you from doing the same to me tomorrow?¡± In the second building of the airport, three men and a woman were gathered together. The equipment they had was not bad ¨C level three helmets and level three armors. The woman was the best equipped among them She had a full set of armor and was holding an M24 sniper rifle in her hand. ¡°Aria, the game will end soon. Let¡¯s stay as a team even after we leave this place. I¡¯ll protect you when the time comes. How about we explore Infinite Space together?¡± A man with a level 2 helmet and a level 3 armor looked at the woman admiringly. He originally had a level 3 helmet, but he gave it to the only woman in the team, Aria to curry favor. Jin Haoen had never seen such a beautiful woman in his entire life. Those entertainment celebrities from his previous life were nothing compared to her. Her long golden wavy hair looked sexy and elegant. She had an exquisite doll-like mixed-race face and a tall hourglass figure. Her chest was so large that it almost couldn¡¯t even fit into the level 3 armor! She had the beauty and sexy allure of a phoenix. If she walked outside, she would outshine even a flashbang! He admitted that he was lustful. Back when he was in the flight cabin, he had heard Aria¡¯s request to form a team. He was the first to say yes without a second thought. ¡°Yellow-skinned monkey, who do you think you are? Who the f*ck would stay as a team with you? Get lost, Aria is ours!¡± Two brawny men to Aria¡¯s right were looking at Jin Haoen with anger. Their burly figures and fierce looks intimidated Jin Haoen. Jin Haoen was so angry that his face turned red. He wanted to shoot these two with guns. In the past, he might have been afraid of such men. But now that everyone had guns in their hands, why should he fear others? Just because they were strong, did that mean they were powerful? ¡°Alright, alright, stop arguing. There are only twenty people left. The game is about to end. Why are you fighting among yourselves at this time? Can¡¯t four people form a team? All you do is argue all day long!¡± The only woman in the team spoke, and the three men immediately became obedient. Aria sneered internally as she looked at the three men through her level 3 goggles. She would have long abandoned them if she didn¡¯t need them to achieve victory. She never had the intention to treat them as teammates. To her, they were just temporary teammates ¨C either to become points or a means to an end. The only men who dared to take advantage of her were either dead or not even born yet. Did they really think that it would be so easy to take advantage of the famous queen of the assassin world, Aria? ¡°Speaking of which, Douglas, the masked man, and Jericho, the wasp seemed to be in the police station. But I don¡¯t know if they¡¯ve been beaten¡­¡± ¡°Aria, what are you talking about?¡± Aria rolled her eyes at the man¡¯s question. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I was just saying that my stomach isn¡¯t feeling well and I need to go to the toilet. You guys wait here. I¡¯ll be right back.¡± ¡°Do you need us to accompany you?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll be fine by myself.¡± Just as Aria stood up, a large number of gunshots suddenly came from Building 1. It was as if a fierce battle was unfolding. The gunshots were then followed by a grenade explosion. These sounds definitely attracted the attention of the four people. ¡°Is there an internal conflict on the other side? I didn¡¯t expect there to be one even before we started fighting. It¡¯s best if all of them die¡­¡± Just as Jin Haoen finished speaking, the sound of gunshots became even more intense. A series of notifications popped up on the tactical panel of the four people. They stared at the panel with their mouths agape. The series of notifications stunned them. ¡°Holy crap, Player 088 is a monster. His kills are flooding the screen!¡± Before Jin Haoen could continue, the tactical panel was flooded with crazy notifications again. More people had been killed by the explosion. ¡°Damn! This is too much! Is he Thor? He killed eight people by himself?¡± The exclamations continued. Aria frowned as she looked at the tactical panel. She was a little shocked too. To be able to kill eight people by himself was no easy feat. Who was this Han Gui? But she didn¡¯t have much time to think about that right now. Her attention was focused on the upper right corner of the tactical panel. No.. of surviving players: 12 Chapter 22 - The Battle Is Over, the Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Reward Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation There were still 12 players left. As long as she killed two more, the game would be over¡­ Aria suddenly beamed under her helmet as she looked at her teammates. She had also been killing people at the airport before this. And these three men were so easily fooled too. A small green ball appeared in her hand. She gently pulled the ring and put down the shrapnel grenade. Then, she quietly retreated and closed the door behind her carefully. Three¡­ two¡­ one¡­ As she was counting down, the moment zero left her mouth, an earth-shaking explosion was heard. The huge destructive force instantly blew the door away. [You used the shrapnel grenade to take out your teammates.] Aria smiled maliciously under her helmet when she heard the notification. ¡°F*ck! Where did the grenade come from?! Jin Haoen, did you accidentally release a grenade?!¡± ¡°F*ck, man! How could it be me?! Aria, where are you? Come help us!¡± With graceful steps, Aria walked into the room and looked at her three teammates who were lying on the ground. She took off her helmet and her face was immediately revealed. Her mixed-race face was a combination of everyone¡¯s ideal standards. Her face was exquisite, her skin was fair and smooth, and her blue eyes were deep and beautiful. As she bent over, the curves of her devilish figure could not be concealed by her armor. The three people kneeling on the ground were envious. ¡°Aria, quickly help us up. Otherwise, we will be wiped out if someone comes.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. The enemy threw a grenade at us to blow us up. They¡¯ll definitely come soon. Aria, there¡¯s no time to waste!¡± But Aria¡¯s smile only grew wider. ¡°Haven¡¯t you three idiots realized that I was the one who threw the grenade? Team up with you? I don¡¯t want three pigs who only know how to compete with each other as my teammates. Take a look at the tactical panel. As long as I kill the three of you, the game will be over. The best part? I can get an easy 300 points.¡± Aria¡¯s words made the three of them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. They crawled towards Aria and begged, ¡°No, no! Aria, for the sake of how good I have been and will be to you, please save my life. Killing these two will be enough to make up the numbers. Please, Aria, I have even given you the level 3 helmet!¡± Aria took two steps back to avoid Jin Haoen¡¯s grasp. She felt as if she would be defiled if she was touched by him. She did not bother to waste any more time or effort. She took out another grenade, pulled the ring, and threw it to the ground. Then, she casually turned around and walked away. Boom! [Ding! You have used a shrapnel grenade to kill Player 074. Obtained 100 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 009, you have killed six people.] [Ding! You have used a shrapnel grenade to kill Player 030. Obtained 100 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 009, you have killed 7 people.] [Ding! You have killed Player 100 with a shrapnel grenade. Obtained 100 points.] [Ding! Respected Player 009, you have killed 8 people.] Once Aria had killed her teammates, the number of survivors automatically became 9. A notification immediately rang in the minds of all the surviving players. [Ding! The number of survivors has been detected to be less than ten. Infinite Game has officially ended.] In Building 1, Han Gui was collecting the resources from the other two teams when the notification suddenly came. He was dumbfounded. When Han Gui saw the three kill notifications, he narrowed his eyes. These were teammate kills. As expected, he had made the right choice to not form a team with strangers. Otherwise, he might have been one of the unlucky ones. Xinyue was also confused. Was it over just like that? She had thought that there would be a fierce battle. [Ding! Dear Player 088, winner winner chicken dinner! Congratulations on achieving the highest kill count in the game, 30. You have been given the special privilege to bring all the items you obtained in this world, including your skills and backpack when you leave.] Han Gui was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt lucky that he was the first in the game. Otherwise, his backpack would be gone, and the equipment that he had spent a long time collecting would also be gone. [Ding! You have killed 10 people. You are rewarded with 10,000 points.] [Ding! 10x Multiplier has been activated. You have been rewarded with 100,000 points.] [Ding! Detected that you have killed 20 people. You have been rewarded with a discount card. You can buy items from Infinite Store with it at 10% of the original price. You can only use it once.] [Ding! 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations, you have obtained 10 discount cards.] [Ding! Unbelievable! You have killed 30 people, which is close to 1/3 of the total number of players. You have been rewarded with 10 Charm points. Hint: Charm will make it easier for you to subdue the characters in the storyline world as your subordinates.] [Ding! 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on increasing your charm by 100 points.] The series of notifications confused Han Gui. This talent was really f*cking generous! Even without the 10x Multiplier, the rewards he had received were already generous enough, especially for a newbie. If he still could not establish himself here, he should just hang himself. [Ding! All rewards have been distributed. All surviving players will be teleported to Infinite Space in one minute. Please be prepared.] Han Gui¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he heard the notification and quickly said to Xinyue, ¡°Xinyue, quick! Throw out all the items in your bag.¡± ¡°What? Oh!¡± Xinyue also received a notification. All the items on the players¡¯ bodies would disappear after they left the Island of Ruins. When she heard Han Gui¡¯s request, she immediately transferred all the items out. ¡°Brother Han Gui, what are you doing? Didn¡¯t they say that you can¡¯t take them away? You¡¯re wasting your time.¡± Seeing Han Gui keep taking away all the items, Xinyue could not help but find it a little strange. ¡°I¡¯m different from you guys. I¡¯m the winner of the game so I can take them back. Oh right, take off your level 3 helmet and level 3 armor as well.¡± ¡®You can do that?¡¯ She threw all the defensive equipment on the ground and watched Han Gui take the items away. He even took her level 3 helmet. Xinyue took off her level 3 armor as well. She asked in confusion, ¡°Brother Han Gui, why did you take off your own armor as well?¡± ¡°We will be teleported back to Infinite Space later. Who knows if we will meet again? If I wear a helmet and armor, it will be obvious that I am special.¡± After collecting all the items, Han Gui heaved a sigh of relief. [Ding! One minute of preparation time has ended. We will start the teleportation now.] His vision blurred. Han Gui subconsciously grabbed Xinyue¡¯s small hand. He was not sure if she was nervous or scared, but Xinyue was also holding him tightly. Then, his vision became clear again. He looked at the white space in front of him and squeezed the hand that was supposed to be holding Xinyue¡¯s. When he felt the familiar softness, Han Gui heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xinyue was still there.. Chapter 23 - The Vixen and Xinyue, the Protector Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He turned to look around and saw a few familiar figures: a mixed-race beauty, Aria, a cold-blooded man with a scar, and an ordinary-looking young man with long brown hair. As for the other people, they looked timid. Han Gui did not even have the interest to look at them. He gave Aria a serious look, but not because she was beautiful. She couldn¡¯t compare to Xinyue anyway. Han Gui remembered this woman from the plane. She was the first to look for and find a teammate. But how did she survive while several tougher men had died? Who was she kidding? Han Gui had a feeling that she was the one who blew up her teammates towards the end of the game. ¡°Hey, Handsome. What are you looking at? Do you want to form a team? It might be harder to go solo in future Infinite Spaces. How about it? Shall we form a team?¡± Her flirtatious voice coupled with her curvy figure made her appear too seductive. The other male survivors were immediately smitten. A petite figure with balls for a fist stood in front of Han Gui. Though Xinyue¡¯s small face was emanating an angry tiger, she looked more like a little hen protecting its young as she stared fiercely at Aria. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that! Big Brother already has a team member and she¡¯s right here! We don¡¯t need a vixen like you in our team!¡± Aria looked at Xinyue seriously. She couldn¡¯t tell how strong the little girl was but Aria could tell that Han Gui was wary of her. Surviving the game had not been a simple task. Aria was convinced that Han Gui was Player 088. After all, being the queen of the underworld meant that she had pretty strong intuition. She had analyzed every notification that popped up on the tactical panel. Based on her memory, Player 088 had killed at least 20 people. These were 20 people with guns, not 20 pigs! Player 088 should not be underestimated, not after surviving the game with such achievements. Seeing how wary Han Gui was of her, Aria knew that he was Player 088. After all, she was the queen of the assassin world and there were also Douglas and Jericho who ranked seventh and fifth respectively in the underworld. And yet, despite their reputation and abilities, someone else had come up top. [Ding! Your status has been refreshed and you are now considered new players. This is the resolution space and you are allowed to form teams here. After that, you will officially enter the Infinite Space F Class area. Your attribute panel has also been refreshed. Please take note.] [Ding! The resolution space is available for 5 minutes. When the countdown ends, all players will be moved to the F Class area.] Han Gui held onto Xinyue¡¯s hand and ignored Aria as he turned around and walked away. He didn¡¯t want to be involved with her anymore. Aria was disappointed when Han Gui left her. He was a catch and would make all the difference in a team. Moreover, there was a charm about Han Gui that attracted her. Xinyue was very happy to walk away with Han Gui. For him to be able to do so without a second look at the vixen showed that Han Gui still valued her very much. Now that they were out of danger, Xinyue hugged Han Gui tightly with no intention of letting go. Her small face rubbed against his as if she was squeezing a piece of dough. Han Gui had suffered a lot. ¡®Don¡¯t you know that you have developed very well?¡¯ ¡®Is this a test of my willpower? Don¡¯t test me anymore. I¡¯ll raise the flag to surrender! Her little face turned red when she realized that Han Gui was ¡®poking¡¯ her. But Xinyue still did not want to let go. She looked up at him and continued to press herself against him. Han Gui could feel that Xinyue was a little nervous. Her little mouth was slightly cold, but the softness and fragrance were intoxicating. [Ding! The countdown has ended. Teleportation will now commence.] The notification called Xinyue back to reality and she blushed. She did not realize how bold she had been. But Han Gui was extremely happy with the short moment he had with Xinyue. His mouth was still savoring the taste of the little girl. [Ding! Respected Player, you have now entered the F Class area. Infinite Game will assign you a personal space. In your personal space, you will not be harmed and outsiders are not allowed to enter either.] Han Gui came back to his senses. He was still holding Xinyue in his arms but their surroundings had changed. He looked around in disbelief. Their personal space was like an apartment unit ¨C there were three bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. For a moment, he had even thought they had returned to the real world. However, the only thing that indicated that they were still in Infinite Space was the white ball of light on the living room coffee table. Han Gui walked over to it with Xinyue still in his arms. [Ding! Respected Player, since this is your first time in Infinite Space, would you like to open Infinite Store? Or would you like to strengthen your attributes?¡± Strengthen his attributes? Han Gui could not help but take a look. Character: Han Gui Strength: 0.7 + (F-) Agility: 0.9 + (F-) Spirit: 1.4 + (F-) Constitution: 1 + (F-) Hidden attributes Charm: 100 (SSS) Intelligence: 14 (F) Luck: 15 (F) Overall strength: F- Special bloodline: None Skills: Advanced Gun Mastery Talent: 10x Multiplier Items: Discount card x10, M24 sniper rifle, AWM sniper rifle, AKM assault rifle, M249 light machine gun, level 3 helmet x5, level 3 armor x12, shrapnel grenade x257, smoke bomb x189, stun bomb x195, medical kit x13, first-aid kit x157, 7.62 bullets x17841, 5.56 bullets x14510, magnum bullets x20¡­ Character points: 132,800 points Current teammates: Yang Xinyue When Han Gui saw the ¡®+¡¯ symbols next to his attributes, he clicked on one of them. [Ding! Do you wish to use 100 points to increase Strength by 0.1 points?] 100 points to increase Strength by 0.1 points? This was a bit of a scam. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to increase strength by a significant amount. Han Gui did not want to recklessly spend his points. He didn¡¯t bother with his hidden attributes either. There was an 80% chance that his hidden attributes could not be increased with his points. ¡°Open Infinite Store.¡± [Ding! The system has detected that you are a novice winner. The system has given you a 90% discount on Infinite Store items. You can only use it once. After using it, all the items will return to their original prices.] Another discount card. Han Gui was delighted. He wondered if he could stack it with the discount cards in his backpack. If he could. he would be able to buy a super item worth 10,000,000 points with only 130,000 points! [Ding! A subselection of items is currently being selected for you at random.] A random subselection? Han Gui was stunned. Couldn¡¯t he choose what he wanted from the entire Infinite Store? What if he got trash? Then wouldn¡¯t his discount be wasted? [Ding! The subselection is complete. Would you like to take a look?] Since he couldn¡¯t afford to offend Infinite Space, Han Gui could only accept it. After all, it was a 90% discount, so he didn¡¯t want to waste it. ¡°Open it.¡± A scene suddenly appeared in front of him, presenting him with a dazzling display of items from Inifinite Store. This was different from what he had expected! There was no trash, all the items were good! Things were just¡­ very expensive. With or without the discount, a novice winner like him would never be able to afford anything in the store. At least not yet. Demon King Bloodline: Potential SSS Class Price: 8,000,000 points ¡­.. Chapter 24 - Infinite Space, Infinite Store! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Death God Bloodline: Potential SSS Class Price: 7,000,000 points Angel Bloodline: Potential SSS Class Price: 8,000,000 points Dragon Bloodline: Potential SSS Class (Remarks: You will obtain a random dragon bloodline after use) Price: 6,000,000 points Resurrection Coin: Can be used to revive a teammate or yourself ¨C limited to B Class players and below) Price: 100,000 points Nine Transformation Golden Core: SS Class ¨C after use, attributes below SSS Class will increase by 100 free points (Remark: You will always recover no matter the injury as long as you are still breathing) Price: 3,000,000 points Substitute Puppet: Uses blood to recognize its owner. Can block fatal injuries and teleport owner to a safe area within 10 kilometers Price: 100,000 points Everything was at least a million points. Even the cheapest was still 100,000 points. Using the 90% discount would mean that he still needed to spend 800,000 points on an item. Who could afford this? If he didn¡¯t have the multiplier talent, he could probably only window shop. At most, he could buy some resurrection coins or substitute puppets. To be honest, Han Gui was very envious of those players with millions of points! He wished he had one more! It was not that he despised the human bloodline, but the human bloodline was not even considered a bloodline! Look at his bloodline attribute! It was empty! ¡°Big Light Ball, may I ask, what is the use of bloodlines in Infinite World?¡± [Infinite Space is all about strength. High-level bloodlines can increase your four-dimensional attributes by a significant amount. Excellent bloodlines can also provide exclusive skills, allowing you to improve faster and make it easier to survive in Infinite World.] Han Gui had a sudden realization. No amount of points could increase his strength as efficiently as upgrading his bloodline. It was the same with skills and equipment as well. Infinite Store may sell them but they require points. Thus, the most efficient way to obtain them would be to upgrade his bloodline. In this way, the bloodline could not only increase attributes but also provide additional skills. This was the importance of bloodline in Infinite Space. ¡°Big Light Ball, what are the score ranges for each class? How can I level up from F Class?¡± [Class evaluation is based on the four-dimensional attributes. If any two attributes fulfill the requirements, then the player can level up to the next class. The requirement for F Class is for any two attributes to reach 10 points each. Every 100 points spent will increase 0.1 attribute points¡­] Any two attributes that are 10 points each would put someone in F Class? These two added up to 20 attribute points. 100 points would only increase 0.1 attribute points. If he used all his points to level up, that would require 20,000 points. He sucked in a breath of cold air. 20,000 points was a huge sum of money. If he didn¡¯t have his multiplier, he would only have a little more than 10,000 points. Others probably wouldn¡¯t even dare to spend points to increase their attributes. But wouldn¡¯t they need something to prepare themselves for the next game? After finishing a game, players would leave with nothing. So if they needed to re-equip themselves, would they even have 20,000 points to upgrade their own class? It would probably take a normal Infinite Player five to six games to save up enough. A Desert Eagle sold for 200 points in Infinite Store, while a bullet sold for 1 point. Level 1 armor cost 50 points, level 2 armor cost 100 points, and level 3 armor cost 200 points! The price of the helmets worked the same way as well. The cheapest equipment set was still 400 points (a gun, 100 bullets, and a level 1 armor), the most expensive equipment set cost 2500 points, and the most expensive piece of equipment cost 700 points. How many novice players had 700 points? How would they ever survive in this world? There were ten classes between F and SSS Class. He wondered, had anyone reached SSS Class before? If there were, they would probably be at a god-like level. ¡°Big Light Ball, what about after F Class?¡± [For E Class, two attributes must reach 20 points and the other two attributes must not be lower than 10 points. 200 points can be used to increase attributes by 0.1.] [For D Class, two attributes must reach 30 points. The other two attributes must not be lower than 15 points. 300 points can be used to increase attributes by 0.1.] [For C Class, two attributes must reach 60 points. The other two attributes must not be lower than 30 points. 600 points can be used to increase attributes by 0.1.] [B Class requires two attributes to reach 100 points. The other two attributes can not be lower than 50 points. 700 points can be used to increase attributes by 0.1 points.] [A Class-] ¡°Stop talking!¡± Before the big ball of light could continue, Han Gui immediately stopped it. This was too f*cking terrifying. One had to almost double their points to reach the next class. Forget SSS Class. How many players had achieved A Class? If there were any, they must have at least experienced and survived more than 500 games, right? Han Gui did not think that Infinite Space was a nursery. Just look at the island map. With a 10% survival rate, it had been a f*cking narrow escape! With points so scarce, could anyone really save up money to buy a bloodline? Han Gui was very doubtful. ¡°Big Light Ball, let me ask you one more thing. Bloodlines are so expensive. The lowest is a C Class bloodline priced at 50,000 points. If it¡¯s so expensive, will anyone buy it?¡± [Bloodlines do not need to be bought in Infinite Shop. Bloodlines can be obtained in Infinite World and some quests can reward lower class bloodlines. But the risks are unknown and accidents may happen.] Han Gui nodded. This made sense. There was still hope. But still, obtaining bloodlines from Infinite World would still be difficult. He looked at his 130,000 points. It didn¡¯t seem like he could buy many things. He really wanted those SSS bloodlines. Their class evaluations were proof of their potential. Among these bloodlines, Han Gui had his eyes on the demon king bloodline. He was a murderer to begin with, so he didn¡¯t even think of wanting the angel bloodline. But the demon king bloodline was too expensive. 8,000,000 points. Who could afford that? Even if he used his discount cards, it would still cost 800,000 points! Han Gui suddenly had a thought as he looked at his discount cards. ¡°Big Light Ball, can these discount cards be stacked?¡± Chapter 25 - Succubus Bloodline Inheritance! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [Ding! Detected that Player has a discount card. This card does not conflict with the novice winner¡¯s 90% discount reward and can be used.] How exciting! The novice winner¡¯s discount reward would make the bloodline only cost 800,000 points. When stacked with his discount cards, the demon king bloodline would then only cost 80,000 points! If not for the novice winner¡¯s 90% discount card, he wouldn¡¯t be able to buy an SSS Class bloodline! He crushed the discount card and heard a pleasant notification. [Ding! You have used a discount card. Note, you can only buy one item.] He intended to buy only one item anyway so he didn¡¯t need to worry about needing a discount for the entire store. Han Gui started to get excited. The demon king bloodline would soon be his! Just as Han Gui was about to buy the demon king bloodline, he suddenly saw something from the corner of his eye and could not help but stop. [Dark Bloodline Gift Pack: SSS Class, 10,000,000 points. It contains all the bloodlines of the dark forces. What are you waiting for? Buy it now for yourself and your teammates. This is a unique opportunity!] Dark bloodline gift pack? Teammates? Han Gui closed the store and looked at the girl he was with. She seemed to also be communicating with the big ball of light. Han Gui thought for a moment and opened Infinite Store again. Han Gui was a realistic person. He treated others how they treat him. He and Xinyue already knew how they felt about each other. If he wasn¡¯t interested in her, he would be a eunuch! She was obedient too, and he didn¡¯t want to go solo. He had enough points to buy the dark bloodline gift pack. He just didn¡¯t know what it would turn out to be. But it had been rated an SSS Class so it shouldn¡¯t be a bad bargain. Han Gui paused for a brief moment before deciding to purchase it. [Ding! The Dark Bloodline Gift Pack costs 10,000,000 points. With the novice winner¡¯s 90% discount reward, you will need to spend 1,000,000 points. The discount card you used has been detected. You will now need to spend 100,000 points. Would you like to buy it?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! 100,000 points have been deducted from Player 088. Congratulations on obtaining Dark Bloodline Gift Pack. Your remaining points are 32,800 points.] Han Gui felt a little sorry for losing 100,000 points in an instant. But he still browsed through the store and bought three of the substitute puppets. Though the puppets would have cost him 300,000 points, he only had to spend 30,000 points by using his discount card. The purpose of buying the substitute puppets was to defend himself against fatal attacks. Han Gui did not underestimate Infinite Space just because he possessed the multiplier. It was always good to have contingencies. Han Gui looked at his remaining 2,800 points and instantly felt poor. If he bought anymore, he would be broke. After exiting Infinite Store, Han Gui turned around and met Xinyue¡¯s sad gaze. He was almost amused. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I only have 280 points and can¡¯t afford anything. Xinyue could only buy a 100-point triangular military knife.¡± Xinyue had suffered a heavy blow ¨C she felt wronged. In the real world, she was a fair, rich, and beautiful woman who had never lacked money. But in Infinite Space, she was even poorer than a beggar. How could she only be able to afford a triangular military knife? Han Gui comforted her as he touched her soft hair. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m still here. Wait for a while. I¡¯ll give you something good.¡± Han Gui opened his backpack and looked at the dark bloodline gift pack. [Ding! You have used the Dark Bloodline Gift Pack. Two players have been detected in your team. Now, you will have a dark bloodline randomly selected for you.] [Ding! The Dark Bloodline Gift Pack only contains 10 dark bloodlines. If the number of times you use the gift pack exceeds the number of bloodlines, the Dark Bloodline Gift Pack will disappear.] Originally, Han Gui had wanted to see if he could sell the bloodlines to become rich. But now that he thought about it, 10,000,000 points for ten bloodlines was truly not a small amount. Now, Han Gui only hoped that his given bloodline was not too bad. At the very least, it should be an SS Class bloodline, right? Otherwise, S Class would have been fine too. It would be too bad if his bloodline was below S Class. Just as Han Gui was praying, a notification came. [Ding! Congratulations on obtaining an SSS Class dark bloodline, succubus bloodline.] What?? Did he buy a dark bloodline gift pack just to get a succubus bloodline? However, an SSS Class bloodline was definitely a good catch. Plus, it was sold in the shop for 6,000,000 points! When the second notification came, Han Gui¡¯s heart instantly jumped. He didn¡¯t like the succubus bloodline. If the next bloodline was any worse, he would be absolutely disappointed. [Ding! Congratulations on obtaining an SSS Class dark bloodline, demon king bloodline.¡± What the f*ck! Despite his university degree, he couldn¡¯t find the words to describe his excitement. An SSS Class demon king bloodline?! Infinite Store was selling it for 8,000,000 points and he had almost bought it. But now¡­ Was Lady Luck smiling down on him? Even if the remainder of the dark bloodline gift pack was filled with trash, it had definitely been worth it! The succubus bloodline and demon king bloodline added up to a worth of 14 million points. The value far exceeded the price of the dark bloodline gift pack! Moreover, he had only spent 100,000 points, which made it an amazing buy! Xinyue was confused by Han Gui¡¯s sudden flushed face. ¡°Brother Han Gui, are you alright? You know what? It¡¯s fine even if you don¡¯t have anything for Xinyue. Don¡¯t be so agitated, Xinyue doesn¡¯t want anything.¡± Xinyue was starting to panic. Han Gui was her only family member now, he was her man. She didn¡¯t want anything to happen to Han Gui. Han Gui quickly comforted Xinyue when he came back to his senses: ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay. I have something really good for you. Hold on.¡± ¡°Confirm Yang Xinyue as the receiver of the succubus bloodline.¡± [Ding! The user of the succubus bloodline has been confirmed to be teammate Yang Xinyue. The inheritance process will now begin.] When the notification came, a purple pillar of light descended, instantly enveloping the dazed Xinyue. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s this? Big Brother Han Gui, I¡­.¡± Chapter 26 - The Demon King and Succubus Bloodlines Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Before she could finish her sentence, Han Gui saw Xinyue start to float upwards. He knew that she was accepting the inheritance of the bloodline, so he didn¡¯t find the need to observe the whole process. Instead, he quickly confirmed the ownership of the demon king bloodline. ¡°Use the demon king bloodline.¡± [Ding! The demon king bloodline inheritance begins now. The user is Han Gui.] The same purple light column fell on him. As the demon king¡¯s blood began to boil in Han Gui¡¯s body, a huge amount of inherited knowledge was stuffed into his mind. With the infusion of the bloodline into his, Han Gui¡¯s body started to change at a rate invisible to the naked eye. His attributes were also increasing rapidly. Strength: 0.70¡­1¡­1.5¡­2¡­3¡­5¡­ Agility: 0.9¡­1¡­1.5¡­2.1¡­3.3¡­5.3¡­ Spirit: 1.4¡­2¡­3¡­4¡­6¡­ Constitution: 1¡­2¡­3¡­4¡­5¡­7¡­ The four-dimensional attributes refreshed crazily. In just a few short minutes, they had collectively increased by more than 5 points, and still, they did not stop. Xinyue was also changing. Her long black hair gradually turned pink and two cute demon horns started to appear on her head. Her body also started to become even more attractive. Her chest grew one size bigger, her waist became slimmer, and her delicate legs appeared more jade-like. With her pink demon wings flapping elegantly behind her, Xinyue gave off an irresistible charm. [Ding! The demon king bloodline inheritance has been completed. Your bloodline awakening level is 1/100. Please work harder to increase the awakening level of your bloodline. The more you awaken your bloodline, the more considerable your attribute increase will be!] The purple pillar of light disappeared and Han Gui opened his eyes. He definitely felt different from before. He clenched his fists and knew that if this punch landed, even an elephant would be smashed to death. Suddenly, his body felt a slight weakness. It was as if he was hungry, very hungry. He lost balance and fell toward the ground. As if by instinct, Han Gui instantly adjusted his body position and landed standing steadily on the ground. ¡°Ah! I¡¯m going to fall!¡± Before Han Gui could understand what was going on, a scream suddenly came from above him. Han Gui hurriedly looked up and saw that Xinyue seemed to have grown a pair of small pink wings. Despite her exclamation, she managed to land on her feet steadily and her pair of pink wings gradually disappeared. Xinyue looked at her legs curiously. Clearly, she was a little puzzled as to why they were fine after falling down. The sudden inheritance of their bloodline¡¯s intelligence allowed Han Gui and Xinyue to react to situations instinctively. But to be able to utilize their potential skillfully, they still needed a lot of experience in the field. ¡°Xinyue, are you okay?¡± When Han Gui walked over to Xinyue, his heart suddenly felt a little hot for some reason. But as soon as he realized it, he felt a sudden chill and instantly came back to his senses. [Ding! You have received a slight charm from your teammate, Yang Xinyue. As the king of all demons, you are immune to this attack.] What?? Xinyue was still confused but Han Gui immediately understood. It was most likely that she was still not familiar with her own powers and unconsciously emitted a charming aura. This succubus bloodline was really something. Xinyue had gone from attractively cute to indescribably seductive, especially when paired with her pure and innocent little face. Her bloodline was simply the combination of an angel and a devil. Every move of hers exuded a charm that made his blood boil. Who could possibly resist her?! Even if he couldn¡¯t resist, he had to. A strange but alluring fragrance entered his nose and he knew he was about to lose it. ¡°Xinyue, how are your attributes now? Let me have a look.¡± ¡°What? Oh!¡± Xinyue was still confused by Han Gui¡¯s behavior and reaction. He had sounded a little hoarse and emitted quite some heat. Character: Yang Xinyue Strength: 5 Agility: 5.5 Spirit: 6.4 Constitution: 5.2 Overall strength: F- Special bloodline: Succubus (SSS) Bloodline awakening level: 1% Skills: Succubus Transformation, Eye of Enchantment, Basic Recovery Talent: Sense of Enchantment (SS) Possessed item: None Character points: 280 Team leader: Gui Succubus Transformation: Able to transform into a succubus. Four-dimensional attributes will be enhanced. Overall strength will be enhanced. The duration will be determined by the bloodline awakening level. Currently, it is 5 seconds. Eye of Enchantment: Able to create illusions on enemies without direct eye contact. Duration depends on the difference in overall strength between the two parties. Basic Recovery: Despite having low bloodline awakening, the recovery ability is one possessed by all succubi as high-level demons. Raising the bloodline awakening level can increase recovery ability. Attaining such a bloodline felt like cheating. The four-dimensional attributes had increased by a large margin ¨C by at least seventeen to eighteen points. That would have cost close to 20,000 points. There was also an additional talent and three skills! This bloodline was really awesome. As expected, the money had not been wasted! And this was only with a bloodline awakening of 1%. If it was 100%, wouldn¡¯t it be even more amazing? After reading Xinyue¡¯s attributes, Han Gui quickly opened his own attributes. Character: Han Gui Strength: 6.8 Agility: 6 Spirit: 6.6 Constitution: 6.7 Hidden attributes Charm: 100 (SSS) Intelligence: 4 Luck: 21 Overall Strength: F- Special bloodline: Demon king (SSS) Bloodline awakening level: 1% Skills: Demon King Transformation, Hellfire, Dark Demon Ball, Basic Recovery Talent: 10x Multiplier Items: Dark bloodline gift pack (8/10), substitute puppet x3, discount card x9¡­ Character points: 2,800 points Current teammate: Yang Xinyue Demon King Transformation: As the noble demon king of hell, you can transform into the demon king¡¯s true form. Your four-dimensional attributes will be enhanced. The duration will be determined by the level of bloodline awakening. Currently, it lasts for 5 seconds. Hellfire: As the supreme monarch of hell, you can summon hellfire and burn the soul of your enemy. The hellfire will not cease to burn until the soul has been destroyed. Note: If the difference in strength is too great between the two parties, the hellfire will not take effect. Dark Demon Ball: Condenses the power of the demon king in the body, forming an energy sphere that can cause tremendous destruction. Basic Recovery: Despite having low bloodline awakening, the recovery ability is one possessed by all noble demon kings as high-level demons. Raising the bloodline awakening level can increase the recovery ability. He was almost stunned by his luxurious attribute page. The four-dimensional attributes had all been raised to above 6 points, which meant he had a total of at least 20 points. He had saved 20,000 points so easily! And these skills! As expected of the SSS Class bloodline of the noble demon king. He had even received an extra skill. ¡°Brother Han Gui, show me yours. I don¡¯t know yours yet. Show me yours quickly.¡± Han Gui started to daydream: he had become so powerful that the galaxy shattered when he raised his hand. The beauties around him would massage his shoulders and back, making him feel all sorts of pleasure. ¡°Brother Han Gui, stop moving¡­ ¡°Wake up! My bloodline awakening level has increased!¡± The gentle shaking and seductive voice woke Han Gui up. When he saw where his hands were connected to her body, Han Gui suddenly understood what had happened in the dream.. Chapter 27 - Lets Do It Again Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation But Han Gui was unwilling to let go. He looked at Xinyue¡¯s flushed face that became increasingly attractive. Han Gui ignored her, pulled himself together, and approached her again. ¡°No, no, no¡­ Brother Han Gui¡­ ¡°Uh¡­Ah¡­¡± Xinyue let out a slight moan. Han Gui rubbed the chest that he had been dreaming about for a long time with one hand and reached out to Xinyue¡¯s secret garden with his other. Finally, after searching for a long time, Han Gui arrived at the warm and tight space. When the two woke up, they started to entangle themselves with each other again. Their cries were filled with joy and it took them a long time to end. With Xinyue in his arms, Han Gui finally remembered what he had heard her say. ¡°Did you say that your bloodline has increased? What¡¯s going on?¡± Xinyue looked a little out of breath as she lay on Han Gui¡¯s chest. Her seductive little face was flushed after being overly satisfied. ¡°It¡¯s just that the awakening level of my bloodline has increased to 2%. My transformation duration has also increased to 10 seconds.¡± Han Gui was instantly stunned. What was going on? He looked at his own bloodline and saw that it was still 1%. Why didn¡¯t it increase? ¡°Xinyue, what happened with your bloodline? Let me have a look again.¡± Han Gui opened up Xinyue¡¯s attributes and saw that all her stats had remained the same, except for her bloodline awakening level, which had increased to 2% just as she had said. Han Gui clicked on it and some additional information appeared immediately. After reading them, Han Gui was stunned. True succubi relied on a man¡¯s essence for a living. Those who had their bloodline, such as Xinyue, would need to extract a man¡¯s essence an exponential amount of times to move from one bloodline awakening level to the next. For example, in order for Xinyue to increase her bloodline awakening level from 1% to 2%, she would need to extract a man¡¯s essence twice, in total. To increase the level to 3%, she would need a total of four extractions, which meant that she would need to extract a man¡¯s essence two more times if she was at 2%. If she wanted to advance to 4%, she would need to have done a total of eight extractions, which meant that she would need to extract a man¡¯s essence four more times if she was at 3%, and so on and so forth. Han Gui patted Xinyue¡¯s buttocks and said, ¡°Do you understand how your bloodline works now?¡± Xinyue nodded, but she was still a little dumbfounded. The way her bloodline awakening worked was too¡­ Xinyue twisted her body around and blinked her large eyes seductively at Han Gui as she spoke with her delicate voice. ¡°Brother Han Gui, Xinyue will be counting on you in the future to help me with my bloodline awakening¡­¡± Only God knew the reasons behind the mechanism of the succubus bloodline awakening. Now that Xinyue had it and knew how it worked, Han Gui would have to learn how to handle himself wisely. Xinyue continued to turn over and make a move. ¡°Xinyue, didn¡¯t you mean in the future? I¡¯m a little tired now, so¡­¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t want it?¡± ¡°Ugh, you¡¯re such a bully. Fine then, let¡¯s do it one last time.¡± After more than an hour, Han Gui finally got dressed and walked out of his residence. As for Xinyue, she was so sleepy that she had fallen asleep after the two practice sessions. Regardless of her bloodline, she still had to submit to him, the demon king. Han Gui realized that his new residence was also a part of Infinite Space, and the next Infinite Game would only start a week later. During this week, he would be able to move freely. Was the F Class area considered a novice village? Every player¡¯s residence was a safe area. Without permission, players could not enter. Before entering the game, players could move freely in the F Class area and interact with each other. As he walked on the streets, Han Gui felt as if he was in a different world. The F Class area was like a normal city. But if one looked further out into the distance, the area was surrounded by endless darkness. .. ¡°Hey, Friend. You seem to be a newbie. Did you just play the game for the first time?¡± Han Gui heard a friendly voice. He turned to look in the direction of the voice and found a fat man sitting on a chair, looking at him. The sparkle in his eyes reminded Han Gui of a ¡®shark¡¯. He had been wondering a lot about Infinite Space. Since someone was greeting him, he might as well entertain him and get some information. He walked over to the man, pulled out a chair, and sat down before curiously asking, ¡°It seems that you are an experienced person. May I know what advice you have?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare to give you any advice. But let me introduce myself. I am Shangguan Qian, from Planet Ancient Sun. As for my profession, I can be considered to be an information broker. Little Brother, this must be your first time here. You should have a lot of things you want to know, right? Information isn¡¯t expensive. How about 10 points for one question?¡± Planet Ancient Sun? Han Gui was stunned. Wasn¡¯t he from Earth? ¡°My good friend, what do you think? Why aren¡¯t you saying anything? 10 points isn¡¯t that expensive. Information can be very useful.¡± Han Gui quickly recovered from his shock and had a sudden suspicion. Could this man be a type of alien? He had no green skin or a big head but Shangguan Qian was acting a little weirdly. Could he just be teasing Han Gui? ¡°Alright, then let me ask, what kind of planet are people from in this F Class area? It doesn¡¯t seem like you¡¯re from the same planet as me.¡± It was as if Shangguan Qian had expected Han Gui to ask this question, as the former shook his head and said, ¡°Every newcomer seems to always ask the same question. I won¡¯t take your points for this question. I¡¯ll just answer you. ¡°How did this Infinite Game come about? I¡¯m not sure. After all, we¡¯re just a bunch of random soldiers. But as far as I know, all the players in the F Class area come from major life planets like mine, Planet Ancient Sun or Planet Heaven¡¯s Swing, Planet Blazing Sun, and many others. ¡°By the way, Friend, which planet are you from?¡± Looking at Shangguan Qian¡¯s curious face, Han Gui had nothing to hide. ¡°I¡¯m from Earth.¡± Earth? Shangguan Qian was dumbfounded. He had never heard of it before.. Was it another new planet? Chapter 28 - The World of Darkness Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When Han Gui saw Shangguan Qian¡¯s stunned expression, he understood. This fat man had probably never heard of his planet before. Could he be one of the first players from Earth? ¡°My friend, this is the first time I¡¯ve heard of your planet. It should be a newly found life planet in Infinite Game. Do you have any other questions? I can answer them for you here.¡± Han Gui had many questions. He was new here, so information was very important. He pointed at the dark sky in the distance and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on over there? Why is the sky outside the city all dark? It feels very ominous.¡± When Shangguan Qian turned to look in the same direction, a hint of fear flashed in his small eyes before he said, ¡°That is an ominous land, the abyss of death. But it is also a promising land. You¡¯ve seen your attribute panel, right? Increasing attributes requires points, but if you kill monsters in the ominous land, you may be able to obtain valuable items that can increase your attributes. ¡°So even if the outside world is very dangerous, there are still many people who dare to go there.¡± Han Gui started to grow an interest in the outer region. After all, he had just learned that killing monsters there could give him an item to increase attributes. ¡°Have you seen any of the items that can increase attributes? What does it look like? Will all monsters drop it?¡± Han Gui knew he had the multiplier, but what was wrong with wanting more points? With a substitute that could increase attributes, he could save a lot of points. Shangguan Qian chuckled as he rubbed his fingers together, making the gesture for money. ¡°Friend, you need to exchange money for information. I¡¯ve already told you a lot before. Including the previous one, it¡¯s basically three questions. 30 points. It¡¯s not expensive, right?¡± 30 points compared to the information he had received was indeed not expensive. Han Gui was not stingy and directly traded over 30 points. After receiving the points, Shangguan Qian beamed and continued, ¡°As for the items that can increase attributes, it¡¯s very simple. When you kill the monsters there, you will find a crystal core in their heads. A crystal core can increase attributes by 0.1, but not all monsters have it. It depends on luck and strength.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± The fat man rubbed his fingers together again and Han Gui traded over another 10 points. ¡°Some of the monsters in the dark are weak and have crystal cores in their heads, but most of them don¡¯t. The strong ones, on the other hand, have a higher chance of having a crystal core in their head. If you¡¯re weak, you will have to depend on luck. But if you¡¯re strong, then one can advance with more certainty.¡± Shangguan Qian noticed that Han Gui was deep in thought and asked, ¡°My dear friend, is there anything else you would like to ask?¡± Han Gui nodded and asked, ¡°Brother, how many times have you experienced the various worlds? Are those worlds difficult? Also, is the mortality rate among those in F Class area high?¡± After saying that, Han Gui traded another 30 points. Shangguan Qian looked at Han Gui as if he was looking at a rich man¡¯s father. In just a few minutes, he had already earned 70 points. ¡°I¡¯ve experienced four worlds. Some of them are difficult, and some are simple. I¡¯ve asked other people before and they said that the worlds for F Class players aren¡¯t too difficult, but the mortality rate is still very high. ¡°For example, Wasteland World, Walking Dead World, and Alien World. These places are difficult to survive and the mortality rate is extremely high as well. ¡°It¡¯s either a zombie attack, an alien monster, or a siege. In short, the danger and mortality levels are both quite high. ¡°Hey, Friend? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Han Gui was stunned. Wasteland? Alien monsters?? Walking dead? Why did they sound so similar to the games and movies he¡¯d played or watched back in the real world?¡± Han Gui had become very excited. He felt that his points had not been wasted. If it was really as he thought, then Infinite Games were just Earth¡¯s games and movies. And if that were true, he would have a big advantage. After spending 30 points to ask a few more questions, Han Gui had already confirmed his thoughts. The 30 points were not wasted either. He asked Shangguan Qian in detail about the worlds that the players from the F Class area had experienced. Without a doubt, they all sounded similar to the movies, anime, and games on Earth, but they were all relatively low-level ones. Still, these were scenarios with high mortality rates. For example, Walking Dead was a survival game. If one survived for a certain period of time without dying, they would receive points. The game would also issue missions and completion of any would reap some pretty good rewards. But would it really be that easy to survive zombie attacks and such? Han Gui had posted and commented on a lot of movies and games within a similar genre. Thus, he had a lot of experience and knowledge in this field of expertise. The horror of zombies and the despair of an apocalypse were not things that ordinary people without superpowers could deal with. As for aliens, their levels were indeed a little high. After all, they were usually conceptualized as creatures born to slaughter. Their terrifying reproduction speed, super-fast growth rate, silent kills, powerful adaptability, and highly corrosive blood made aliens pretty terrifying enemies. The death rate would definitely be high in the alien world. Han Gui would know. The increase in his Spirit attribute had allowed him to not only be able to recall lost memories, but also experience the ones he had yet to encounter. He looked at the dark sky in the distance and decided that he would use this one week to go over with Xinyue and explore their chances. ¡°Friend, do you plan to go hunting outside? Seeing that you are so forthright, I will give you a piece of information for free. ¡°When the lights of the city are about to dim, don¡¯t hesitate and come back as soon as possible. The night is dark and full of terrors.¡± When he saw the solemn expression on Shangguan Qian¡¯s face, Han Gui nodded. Then he stood up and walked back in the direction he had come from. His gaze swept across the sparsely populated streets. Many must have left to go hunting in the darkness. It was hard to imagine that this area had people from different planets. In Infinite Space, the weak were basically walking towards their deaths. If they wanted to live, they would have to constantly struggle to survive. It seemed that with his multiplier, even if they did not work hard, they would easily surpass others. He was on his way back to see if Xinyue had rested well and was ready to go out for a walk. He walked quickly, in a hurry to return. Just then, he heard laughter on his right. ¡°Hey, Handsome. What are you in such a hurry for?¡± Han Gui stopped and looked in the direction of the voice with a frown. The person had a devilish figure yet angelic face. Her entire body exuded an aura that made people¡¯s mouths dry. How could Han Gui not recognize this woman who had survived on Earth? Chapter 29 - Monster Crystal Cores! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation If it weren¡¯t for the fact that this was a neutral space, he would have killed the woman in that very instant. This woman was like a ticking time bomb. He couldn¡¯t figure out who she was, despite the fact that both of them were from the same planet. If she was from Earth, it meant that she would know how those movie, game, and anime genres work. But Han Gui didn¡¯t want anyone else to have such an advantage. It was the survival of the fittest, after all. On the other hand, Aria was also a little surprised. When she saw Han Gui before this, she thought he was just an ordinary person. Now, she could feel a murderous aura emanating from his body. And it was quite a suffocating aura. It was as if she could be killed in the next second. Immediately, Aria became vigilant. She had already known that Han Gui was the novice winner. Although she did not know what his reward was, she knew it was one that would make him stronger just by judging from his current aura. She had killed eight people in the game and obtained a total of 800 points. When the game ended, she arrived in this place empty-handed. 800 points were all she had, which put her in a predicament when she used the ball of light to activate Infinite Store. Even if she used up all her points to increase her attributes, she didn¡¯t have enough to increase any of them by 1. In the end, she bought a set of level 3 defensive equipment, a Desert Eagle, 100 bullets, and a triangular military knife. Now, she was left with 0 points. But the man she was facing must have been able to increase his attributes many more times. How else could he emanate such an aura? They were both new players, so how could there be such a big difference already? ¡°Why are you looking at me as if you¡¯re going to eat me up, Handsome?¡± No matter what, she was still the queen of assassins. Aria reacted to his oppressive aura with a seemingly innocent giggle. ¡°I do want to eat you up without even spitting out your bones.¡± Han Gui stared at Aria and slowly relaxed his clenched fists. Han Gui knew that he couldn¡¯t kill Aria here and now, but he remembered the darker world out there and said, ¡°Let me give you a piece of advice. In the world outside the city, monsters have crystal cores in their heads. Each crystal core can increase any of our attributes by 0.1. Whether you go or not is up to you.¡± After saying that, Han Gui left without looking back. He knew Alicia would doubt him, but it did not matter. He just wanted to play a dirty trick. ¡®The outside world is a place for the strong. Would you go? If you don¡¯t, you will probably end up a sitting duck. But if you do, you will have to struggle to survive.¡¯ The night is dark and full of terrors. Han Gui remembered this sentence very clearly, but had Aria even heard of it? He didn¡¯t know. Han Gui might not know how terrifying the outside world was, but if it could kill Aria, that was all he needed for now. He was planning to go over with Xinyue at some point anyway. If they met Aria there, he¡¯d just finish her off. This woman was very dangerous, and keeping her alive would be a disaster. Aria started to lower her guard when Han Gui left. Although she knew that Han Gui could not kill her at that very moment, she was still a little afraid. His aura was too strong and suffocating. She did not dare to imagine how strong Han Gui was now. As for the advice he gave before he left¡­ Aria looked at the players who were in a hurry in the distance and frowned. Then, she turned around and walked towards the edge of the city. She wanted to see if any players had left to verify with her own eyes whether Han Gui was telling the truth. Monsters? Crystal cores? Increasing attributes? These were indeed very tempting to her. Aria¡¯s attribute levels for Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Spirit were extraordinary. Her four-dimensional attributes were all above 1. Even her weakest attribute was as high as 1.3 points. Infinite Space calculated an average value for each attribute and weighed the value of each attribute point based on the average. The strike force of 1 strength point was 50 kg. For a woman to receive an evaluation of 1.3 strength points ¨C 65 kg of Strength ¨C was already very terrifying. Externally, Aria was well-proportioned with no obvious bulks of muscles. No one could ever guess that she¡¯d have Strength equivalent to 65 kg. If caught off guard, even players with 2 or 3 strength points could be taken out by her. She was an assassin after all. Stalking from the shadows before striking at the opportune moment was a basic skill for an assassin. She followed a few players out of the city. The moment she did, she immediately felt uncomfortable, as if she had been cursed. She lowered her head and chased after the players as they started to move further away. She wanted to see what these people were up to. Not long after, she saw the so-called monsters. They were like the monsters in the zombie game. As the monsters wandered in the darkness, the players would hunt and kill them. And each time the players succeeded, they would knock on the monster¡¯s head as if they were looking for something. A crystal core? Aria remembered Han Gui saying that a crystal core could increase attributes by 0.1, which was equivalent to obtaining 100 points. In this way, she could save some points. As she followed them, Aria realized that these players did not dare to go too far. The darkness was like an abyss, where new monsters could always appear and kill endlessly. But not every monster had a crystal core. As far as Aria could see, many players had already killed forty to fifty monsters, but none had obtained a crystal core. Despite their efforts, the players did not show any signs of frustration, as if they were already used to such chances. Obtaining a crystal core did not seem to be easy. Moreover, these monsters were not weak. Their skin was rough and their flesh was thick. Their attack power was also very strong. Suddenly, Aria saw a monster slap a player. That player, whose strength was even higher than hers, coughed up blood and retreated. It was likely that he had suffered some serious injuries. However, there would always be a reward for one¡¯s efforts. After killing that monster, another player searched the corpse and took out a crystal core that flickered with a faint red light. The player looked at it with a slightly pleasant expression. ¡°It¡¯s a crystal core that can increase attributes!¡± Everyone¡¯s attention was focused on the monster, even the injured ones and those who had ventured several meters further away.. Chapter 30 - The Might of the Demon King Bloodline! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration and fervor. Meanwhile, the player who had taken out the crystal core hurriedly ran over to the injured player and fed it to him. His face flushed slightly and his aura clearly grew stronger. Only when the crystal core disappeared did the fervent gazes around him gradually fade away, leaving behind a faint killing intent. Killing and stealing from each other seemed to be a common occurrence in this outer area. Aria even believed that if no one had consumed the crystal core earlier, a battle might have broken out by now. Her figure disappeared into the darkness. Since Han Gui¡¯s story had been confirmed, Aria naturally had no more doubts. She found a place with fewer people. Her figure flashed quickly as she moved. Eventually, she crushed a monster¡¯s skull. Unfortunately, there was no crystal core, which disappointed her a little. However, when she remembered the number of kills the others had to obtain just to get one crystal core, she put away her disappointment, stepped back, and retrieved her triangle military knife from the monster. ¡­ While Aria was busy killing the monsters, Han Gui had already returned to his residence. As he pushed the bedroom door open, Xinyue was hugging and snuggling a pillow. Her slender yet curvaceous figure, fair skin, and half-exposed chest exuded a fatal temptation. He had already ¡®eaten¡¯ twice before he went out, and now he wanted to eat again. However, when he remembered the reason he had returned, Han Gui shook his head. He walked over and patted Xinyue¡¯s delicate buttocks. ¡°Babe, wake up. If you sleep any longer, you¡¯ll turn into a little pig.¡± Xinyue opened her eyes drowsily and looked at Han Gui. She crawled into his arms and snuggled him. Then, she closed her big eyes again, as if she wanted to go back to sleep. Han Gui lowered his head and bit her delicate earlobe a few times. With a breath of warm air, he spoke into her ear. ¡°If you don¡¯t wake up, I¡¯ll ¡®feed¡¯ you some more.¡± She was immediately startled awake. Even her succubus physique could not keep up with Han Gui. If he did it again, Xinyue would feel like she was going to die of exhaustion. ¡°You¡¯re such a bully. Fine, I¡¯ll get up.¡± When Xinyue¡¯s jade-like figure disappeared under her clothes as she got up and got dressed, Han Gui still could not calm himself down. She was just too tempting. After she was fully dressed, Xinyue leaned close to Han Gui to ask, ¡°Brother Han Gui, is there anything important?¡± Han Gui bought two triangle military heads from Infinite Store and passed them to Xinyue along with the level 3 defensive equipment. ¡°We¡¯re going to kill monsters outside the city. There are crystal cores in the heads of those monsters which can increase our attributes. Do you understand?¡± Her eyes lit up. Xinyue was not stupid. She naturally understood what Han Gui meant. She knew how difficult it was to increase attributes. 100 points would only give her a 0.1 point increase. She had suffered enough from being poor. Although her attributes were not bad, Han Gui did not want to be careless. People in Infinite Space were unpredictable. The monsters may be powerful, but they also needed to watch their backs. Fortunately, the helmet and armor could effectively deal with sneak attacks. Han Gui put away the triangular military knife and left the residence with Xinyue who had the other two knives. The neatly dressed couple quickly approached the outskirts of the city. After leaving the city, darkness quickly enveloped their surroundings. It felt a little heavy on the body, but it did not affect them much. The monsters were constantly appearing like a siege. Some players had formed teams to kill the monsters, Han Gui pulled Xinyue along and ran to a remote area. He wanted to test the strength of these monsters first, then see how lucky they were. After that, he would try to go deeper into the darkness. With Han Gui¡¯s current average strength of more than 6 points, killing these monsters with only more than 1 point in attribute was simply too easy. He could kill them with a single kick. Xinyue was also able to use the powerful Eye of Enchantment. Eventually, the monsters lost their minds and started to kill each other. Soon, the entire area was cleared out. They all had their heads cut open with a triangular military knife. But disappointingly, Han Gui did not find a single crystal core. How many did they have to kill to find one? More than a hundred? The drop rate was so low that it made one¡¯s hair stand on end! Crystal cores that could increase 0.1 attribute points were simply too rare. But there was no other way. Han Gui did not want to waste any more time. He called Xinyue over and headed deeper into the darkness. In the other direction, Aria was already half-kneeling on the ground. She had been exhausted for more than an hour. There were dead bodies everywhere. After counting carefully, there were almost two hundred of them. Although she was exhausted, Aria was still very excited. She opened her palm and a red crystal core emitted a faint light in her hand. After going through the hardships of killing 195 monsters, she had finally obtained her first crystal core that would increase her attributes. However¡­ ¡°Hey, Beautiful, do you want to form a team? If you do, how about you hand over that crystal core as a token of submission?¡± .. With Xinyue in tow, Han Gui headed deeper into the abyss. Han Gui remembered that Shangguan Qian had said that the stronger the monster, the higher the drop rate. Moreover, Han Gui realized that these monsters seemed to be divided into different regions. Monsters with 1-3 attribute points were restricted to one region, while monsters with 4-6 attribute points were contained in others. And these were monsters that came up from the ground. Before going too deep, Han Gui stopped in the central region. Any further and things might get too dangerous. If he was surrounded by monsters and was unable to transform, he would be in deep trouble. The region he was in should be just right ¨C not too difficult and not too easy. He kicked away a zombie and climbed on top of it. The triangular military knife in his hand pierced through the zombie¡¯s head at an angle. He frowned. The zombie¡¯s head in this area seemed to have become much harder this time. He needed to use additional strength to pierce through its head. Suddenly, he heard a slight whistle in the wind. Just as he turned around to look, another triangular military knife flew past him and sliced the head open. The zombie¡¯s skull was shattered and its fiery soul dissipated. He turned to look at Xinyue. Although he had been mentally prepared, it was still a little surprising to see a group of monsters having their heads stabbed by Xinyue. Han Gui felt that perhaps choosing the succubus bloodline for her had been a mistake. He shook his head and put this dangerous thought aside. His demon king bloodline was still the most powerful. Speaking of the demon king bloodline¡­ Han Gui focused on the approaching monsters and ran up to them. He managed to lure them into chasing after him as they roared, releasing a large cloud of fishy breath. The group of monsters caused quite a commotion. Han Gui kept turning his head around to look. After he felt that it was about time, he activated the demon king¡¯s power in his body, and a black magic ball gradually condensed in his hand. The ball contained violent dark energy that set off a faint ripple in the air. In an instant, the magnificent power of the ball spread out. Even the monsters that had been fervently chasing after Han Gui stopped in their tracks for a while. He raised his hand and threw the Dark Demon Ball at them with a deathly silent magical power before it exploded with a terrifying shockwave. The ground shook as dust, soil, and rocks flew everywhere. Smoke from the explosion rose several feet in the air as the shockwave spread out like an ever-expanding ring. Xinyue had been so shocked by the explosion that she almost allowed herself to be overcome by the monsters. She put her hand to her chest and said to Han Gui, ¡°This¡­ is too powerful.¡± At the place where the Dark Demon Ball had exploded, a three-meter-wide crater was all that¡¯s left. The Earth and rocks had cracked as dozens of corpses fell to the ground in tatters. Han Gui was also shocked by his power. It was comparable to the power of several high-grade explosive grenades. He didn¡¯t expect such a seemingly casual attack to be so terrifying. Using one-third of his magic power had already produced such terrifying results. Han Gui walked over to the corpses with the triangular military knife in hand and began to check their heads one by one to see if there were any crystal cores. In the end, Han Gui was left disappointed. But soon after, Xinyue¡¯s excited voice suddenly came from behind him. ¡°Woah, Brother Han Gui! I found one! I found one!¡± Chapter 31 - Slave Contract? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Brother Han Gui, this is awesome!¡± Xinyue had dug out the crystal core from her kills and Han Gui felt a little bitter. He had not been slacking off, so why wasn¡¯t he getting any crystal cores? Just as Han Gui was feeling frustrated, the triangular military knife he had been stabbing with suddenly hit something hard. Han Gui was startled. Could it be? He used the knife to dig into the head and finally managed to pull out a crystal core that emitted a faint red light. Han Gui felt mixed emotions. He had finally found a crystal core! It had not been easy! ¡°Wow! Brother Han Gui, I got another one! I got another one!¡± Xinyue¡¯s excitement was apparent through her chest as well. Any man who saw her at this moment would go weak in their knees. Her breathtakingly beautiful figure made Han Gui¡¯s lower half restless. Han Gui looked at Xinyue hatefully and said, ¡°I will deal with you when I get back!¡± She immediately shrunk back with a bitter face, as if she had gone too far while looking at the two crystal cores in her hands. After checking all the corpses, Han Gui was feeling very gratified. Out of the 68 corpses, he had managed to obtain two crystal cores. It was not bad. He had saved at least 200 points. If he simply stayed at home, no points would have come to him. Han Gui turned and look further into the darkness. More monsters started to appear and approach them. Just as Han Gui was about to continue moving forward with Xinyue, he suddenly heard footsteps and curses behind him. ¡°B*tch, stop right there! Are you trying to run after killing our people? That¡¯s an intermediate zone you¡¯re heading to. Let¡¯s see where you can run to!¡± The person the group of people was chasing after was running from them in a sorry state. She did not expect the other party to be so strong and relentless. Aria had been exhausted after killing nearly 200 monsters. How could she give away the crystal core that she had obtained with great difficulty? She initially pretended to want to give the crystal core away. But as she did, the triangular military knife in her hand immediately pierced through a player¡¯s neck in an instant. She tried to kill the second player before the others could react, but she failed. She was immediately sent flying with a kick. Her stomach felt like it had been tied into a knot, but the kick she received was also a blessing in disguise ¨C it gave her a headstart in her escape. Using her movement technique to avoid the monsters that surrounded her, Aria ran among them in a sorry state. However, the more she walked, the colder her body felt. The deeper into the darkness she went, the stronger the monsters. Eventually, she started to find it difficult to dodge them. If it were not for her killer instinct, she might have been knocked to the ground halfway through. Her body started to feel heavier. But the relentless curses from behind her made her mood even heavier. An intermediate zone? An even more powerful monster zone? Aria eventually looked up and was surprised. Her eyes met those of the novice winner from her game, the one who wanted to kill her when they met on the streets earlier today. As an assassin, Aria¡¯s perception of murderous intent was exceptionally sharp. When she saw the corpses lying on the ground by Han Gui¡¯s feet, Aria felt despair. Wolves were coming from behind but a tiger stood before her. She feared that she would not have a chance to survive today. As for Han Gui, he was very surprised. He did not expect to meet this woman here. Speaking of which, their meeting had been effortless. When he saw the players chasing after her from afar, he smiled. It seemed that he was not the only one who wanted to kill her. As for the reason, it must have been nothing more than lust or to rob her. Would there be a reward for killing someone in this area? If there was¡­ The next Infinite Game was six days away. There was no other way to earn points until then. If the rules of Infinite Game applied here, this could also be considered a way to earn extra points. The triangular military knife in Han Gui¡¯s hand glimmered with a cold light as he slowly walked towards Aria. The players who had been chasing after Aria saw Han Gui and the scattering of corpses behind him. Their eyes started to fill with fear. They stopped chasing and immediately retreated. Han Gui was somewhat disappointed. He had been looking forward to killing those players to see if he could get points too. Unfortunately, they were pretty fast runners and it would not have been worth the chase. ¡°We meet again. Speaking of which, we seem to be fated. It has only been two days but we¡¯ve met four times, right?¡± Aria knelt on the ground as she did not have the strength to run anymore. Her attractive face looked up, revealing a masterpiece as if she was carved out by God. She was not that much more inferior to Xinyue. ¡°I want to know why you are so determined to kill me. Ever since we met in the resolution area, I could already feel your hostility towards me. You even deliberately lured me out here today, and your killing intent is still so strong.¡± Aria was panting as she spoke. She was exhausted from all the killing and running that every breath she took felt like a steel knife scraping against her chest. ¡°Reason? There really isn¡¯t one. In Infinite Space, a person is a walking point. So anyone I meet is my enemy. If I don¡¯t keep my defenses up, who knows when I¡¯ll be the one to be stabbed instead? Moreover, you, woman, also give me a sense of hostility so I know I should not take you lightly.¡± Aria was an assassin after all. So she knew what Han Gui meant instantly. Anyone alive was a potential enemy. She also wanted to kill everyone at all times, but it was a pity that she didn¡¯t have the strength to do so. ¡°I don¡¯t want to die. I don¡¯t want to give up. I want to know, how can I survive? What do I need to do? I am willing to swear an oath to be loyal to you. ¡°I have many skills ¨C I am one of the top three assassins on Earth. I am proficient in all kinds of fighting techniques and firearms. I can help you. Give me time and I will be your most capable helper.¡± Her offer was very tempting. But¡­ Han Gui¡¯s hand was already on Aria¡¯s neck. Her skin was very smooth and delicate. Under normal circumstances, she did not look like a cold-blooded killer at all. It was a pity that such a beautiful woman had to be killed by Han Gui. It was just too unsafe to keep a threat so close to them. ¡°Your offer is very tempting, but I¡¯m sorry. You still have to die. The more skillful you are, the more dangerous you are to us. You may swear your loyalty and allegiance to me today because you are afraid of death. But one day, you may just backstab us and join someone else.¡± With 6 Strength points, he was able to lift Aria up as easily as lifting a piece of straw. Her resistance and struggles did not make it any more difficult for him to hold on to her. All he needed to do was to exert a little more strength and he could have easily broken her neck ¡°Wait¡­ wait a minute¡­ I have something else to say.¡± Aria struggled to grab onto Han Gui¡¯s arm before saying, ¡°There is a slave contract in Infinite Store.. I can sign it! I don¡¯t want to die!¡± Chapter 32 - The Most Beautiful Slave? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A slave contract? If there really was such a contract, she would be able to stay alive. But Han Gui didn¡¯t dare to be careless. This was Infinite Space after all. Anything was possible. ¡°Xinyue, come here. You can use your skill to seduce her, right?¡± Xinyue walked forward as her eyes started to shine with a faint purple light. Aria struggled in Han Gui¡¯s grasp for a moment before her eyes gradually became empty. Han Gui then let Aria go and searched through Infinite Store for the slave contract. Slave Contract: 10,000 points ¨C you can forcefully turn a player into your own slave. The only conditions are that the slave must be at least one class or attribute point lower than the master, and it is not applicable to storyline characters. 10,000 points to gain a weaker slave? Moreover, it is not effective against storyline characters. This thing is useless. 10,000 points could be used to increase attribute points by 10. As long as the player was not brainless, they would not waste their points on a player of this level, Unless there is a reason that they can not give it up¡­ Han Gui knew that Aria was plotting against him. After all, how could an ordinary player have 10,000 points? As long as she played her cards right, she would have a chance to escape. Unfortunately for her, the contract might not be affordable to other players, but it was to him. He still had the discount cards after all. Using a discount card for this might sound like a waste, but when he reconsidered all the potential benefits of having Aria as a slave, he was willing to take the risk. It was like making an investment ¨C one needed to fork out money in order to gain more in return. Enslaving Aria would be worth the 1,000 points and discount card. Most importantly, contracted slaves could not kill their masters. If their masters died, the slaves would also die. With this restriction, he was not afraid of Aria plotting against him. ¡°Use a discount card to purchase a slave contract.¡± [Ding! A discount card and 1,000 points have been deducted from you. Currently, your remaining points are 1,500 points.] Han Gui looked at the slave contract that suddenly appeared in his hands and nodded at Xinyue, signaling her to remove her enchantment on Aria. Xinyue¡¯s Spirit attribute of 6.4 was completely superior to Aria¡¯s. If Xinyue did not remove her enchantment, it was likely that Aria would not have woken up. It was not that Han Gui had not thought of using such a method to control Aria, but this method was too inefficient. Aria would just become a puppet without any consciousness. This was not what Han Gui wanted. Her figure swayed a few times before she finally woke up. She immediately looked at Xinyue vigilantly. She had just been unable to control her body as if it no longer belonged to her. As an assassin, she had received special mental training in anti-hypnosis and anti-hallucinogenic drug resistance. So her mental strength contributed to her Spirit rating of one as high as 1.7, but she still could not resist the enchantment from Xinyue at all. Who was this girl? ¡°Here¡¯s the slave contract. Sign it.¡± Aria was shocked to see the slave contract in his hands. Wasn¡¯t the slave contract worth 10,000 points? This man had the points to purchase it? This man was a demon! Just how many points did he have? Based on her reaction, it was just as Han Gui speculated. The slave contract was just a ruse. Who would want to be a slave? She hadn¡¯t expected Han Gui to have the points to purchase it. When the time came, she had planned to just slowly gain his trust and integrate into the team. Never would she have expected him to not only possess sufficient points to purchase the contract but to also be willing to spend it on the contract instead of increasing his attributes. ¡°Are you going back on your word?¡± Han Gui felt a small sense of triumph as he watched Aria squirm. Gaining happiness from the pain of others was such a gratifying feeling! Could it be that the demon king bloodline was affecting his character? Perhaps. He was not such a person before. Han Gui could not help but start to come up with excuses for himself. The joy Han Gui felt internally was written on his face. She had no other choice. If she did not sign it, she would die. She did not doubt that refusing would result in Han Gui killing her. This man was really capable of such a cruel act. She dripped her own blood on the contract. The slave contract turned into dots of starlight that formed two hexagrams. One was branded on her forehead, and the other was branded on the back of Han Gui¡¯s hand. After that, it gradually disappeared. After the slave contract had taken effect, Han Gui suddenly had a feeling that he could easily control Aria¡¯s fate. Everything was within his control. Aria sighed. She was now someone¡¯s slave. It was quite an indescribable feeling. When she was on Earth, her reputation in the dark world was terrifying. But in Infinite Space, she had become a slave before she had the chance to make a name for herself. Things changed too quickly. ¡°Tell me, why were those people chasing you? Was it because of lust? Or you unexpectedly killed one of them? And what is your identity? Your four-dimensional attributes are not ordinary.¡± With the slave contract, Han Gui could check Aria¡¯s attributes at any time. Her outstanding four-dimensional attributes almost made Han Gui think that she had spent points to strengthen them. However, with her level 3 armor, triangular military knife, and large-caliber Desert Eagle, Han Gui did not believe that she could have gained many points. Moreover, her set of skills were quite impressive. Character: Aria Master: Han Gui Strength: 1.3 Agility: 1.6 Spirit: 1.7 Constitution: 1.4 Overall strength: F1 Special bloodline: None Skills: Master Military Combat, Master Assassination, Advanced Gun Mastery, Advanced Movement Technique Talent: None Items: Level 3 helmet, level 3 armor, triangular military knife, Desert Eagle, 0.5 caliber bullet x93, crystal core x1 Character points: 100 points Only a fool would think she was an ordinary person with skills like that. ¡°I was an assassin on Earth. My attributes aren¡¯t bad, right? As for those people, they wanted to steal my crystal core. I killed one of them with a backhand and got one-fifth of his points.¡± After telling her story, she thought for a while and then raised her hand. She opened her bloody palm, revealing a crystal core that had been preserved for a long time. ¡°Here, I have another 100 points.¡± She did not want to hand these things over, but now that she had become Han Gui¡¯s slave, it seemed that even slaves did not have self-determination. Rather than being forced to hand them over, it was better to be straightforward. Aria felt that she could no longer see a way out. Perhaps death would have been a better option.. Chapter 33 - This Man is an Animal! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Han Gui picked up the crystal core from Aria¡¯s palm and asked, ¡°How many monsters have you killed?¡± Aria felt a little depressed and disappointed when Han Gui took the crystal from her. She said, ¡°Nearly 200. 195 or 196¡­ I forgot.¡± The crystal core that was emitting a faint red light was like a beautiful spotless gem. It was the result of the crystallization of power. He raised his hand and pinched Aria¡¯s chin. As Aria looked at him vigilantly, Han Gui threw the crystal core into her mouth. ¡°I don¡¯t want what you worked hard to get. I will only consider what you truly want to offer me.¡± Before she could say anything, the crystal core turned into energy and surged into her body. At the same time, a notification popped up in her mind. [Please choose the attribute that you want to strengthen.] ¡°Agility.¡± [Ding! Your Agility has increased by 0.1. Currently, it¡¯s 1.7.] Her body felt lighter. Aria was a little happy. Her hard work had not been in vain. When she came back to her senses and looked at Han Gui, Aria found that this man was not as annoying as she had imagined. Han Gui did not know what Aria was thinking. As he looked back towards the city, he noticed that the light there seemed to have dimmed a little. As far as his eyes could see, there were even some people who were starting to retreat from the deeper areas. ¡°We should go back.¡± Having just tasted the benefits of increasing her strength, Aria frowned and said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about my injuries. I can still fight.¡± Aria thought that he was concerned about her condition. Her heart, which had been trained to be as hard as steel, seemed to be touched. She was gradually getting convinced that Han Gui was not as bad as he seemed. ¡°What does it have to do with your injury? What are you daydreaming about? If you don¡¯t want to leave now, then be prepared to die here. ¡°Oh right, I forgot to tell you. I left out some things when I told you about this area on the streets earlier. When the light in the city is dim, it¡¯s the time when the darkness of the outside world comes and there may be a great terror.¡± Aria was stunned as Han Gui walked past her. ¡®Ugh! He wasn¡¯t concerned about me! He wasn¡¯t concerned at all! This man is an absolute beast!¡¯ She was a fool to have thought that he had cared the slightest bit about her. Seeing that Han Gui and Xinyue had already walked away at a speed that she could not understand, Aria¡¯s eyelids twitched. What kind of freaking speed did these two have? She already had 1.7 points for Agility, which was considered so high that she could eat dust. How many points did these two have then? The darkness came like the mouth of an abyss swallowing up the Earth. The ominous aura grew thicker and her body felt heavier. It was not easy for her to finally step into the city. Aria looked back and felt a sense of terror. The world outside had completely turned into darkness. The screams and wails made people shudder. There were also the sounds of chewing, bones breaking, and a loud roar that sounded as if some evil creature was wandering around. Aria did not dare to imagine what would have happened to her in the darkness if she had been one step later. ¡°Don¡¯t look back. We¡¯re going home together. Aria, come with us.¡± Now that Aria had become his slave, it was more convenient for the three of them to live together. Their apartment had three bedrooms after all. Aria was already expecting this, so she didn¡¯t say anything. When she returned to Han Gui and Xinyue¡¯s place, she suddenly felt sour. ¡°This is where you live? Three bedrooms and one living room? With a kitchen and a bathroom?¡± The place she was assigned was just a small studio apartment with a tiny bathroom and kitchen squeezed into each other. Their bathroom was even bigger than her entire place! ¡°Your place is different from ours? Well, I guess it¡¯s because there are two of us, so it¡¯s normal for it to be bigger, right?¡± Han Gui had never seen her place before, so he didn¡¯t dare to comment casually. She gestured with her hands and pointed at the bathroom. With a dark face, she said, ¡°My place is only this big.¡± Only then did Han Gui realize how big the difference was. Han Gui¡¯s gaze landed upon the kitchen and he just realized that he hadn¡¯t eaten the entire day. However, he didn¡¯t feel hungry. Could it be that his attributes had increased and his hunger had been alleviated? ¡°Do you know how to cook? If you do, please go cook. Xinyue and I have to digest our crystal cores.¡± Aria knew how to cook. She didn¡¯t say anything else and just walked into the kitchen. Han Gui pulled Xinyue to the sofa and they took two crystal cores each. A notification came and Han Gui added the attributes of the two crystal cores to his strength. [Ding! You have increased Strength by 0.2 points. Your current Strength is 7 points.] His strength continued to surge in his body until it finally calmed down. Only then did Han Gui let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, Xinyue also opened her eyes which flashed purple. ¡°Xinyue, what did you add to?¡± ¡°I¡­ added to Spirit. Now it¡¯s 6.6 points. It seems that the succubus mainly focuses on Spirit.¡± He nodded. Succubus used Spirit to control others or create illusions to make enemies kill each other. The other attributes such as Strength, Constitution, and Agility did not seem to be her strong points. After dinner, Han Gui sat on the sofa with Xinyue and Aria on either side of him. ¡°Let me share the information I heard today. First of all, there are five days until the next Infinite Game starts. Compared to other players, we have a great advantage ¡°I learned today that not everyone in the F Class area is human. Although they are all human-sized, they are not from Earth. ¡°Also, Infinite Games are selected and designed based on genres of movies, games, and anime from Earth. ¡°Do you get me?¡± Even if he didn¡¯t tell them now, Xinyue and Aria would find out soon enough. But there was nothing wrong in telling them in advance. Xinyue and Aria were surprised. If Han Gui¡¯s information was correct, then they had a huge advantage over others. Han Gui knocked on the coffee table to bring them back to reality before continuing. ¡°Tomorrow, we will continue to go to the outer area to kill monsters and increase our strength. I¡¯ve thought about it before. The reason the neutral area is so peaceful must be because of the allowances in the outer world. ¡°What we need to do is to farm in peace. If we meet someone who goes against us, we will kill them. We won¡¯t take the initiative to cause trouble, but we will oblige those who want to seek death.. Do you get me?¡± Chapter 34 - Listening to Love Through a Wall Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation They nodded. Xinyue and Aria were not stupid. There had been so many people fighting the monsters in the outer area harmoniously without many fights breaking out. There must be rules. Otherwise, it would just be a bloodbath. After the discussion, Han Gui left with Xinyue. Seeing Han Gui and Xinyue leave together, Aria could not help but blush. They were adults. One did not need to think too hard to know what a couple would do in private since there were no other entertainment options in Infinite Space. Not long after, Aria heard sounds that made her blush. Her legs were squeezed close together as she squirmed as if she couldn¡¯t control herself. The voices from the room were as soft as a mosquito¡¯s but they were crystal clear to her. Her toes started to curl. She turned around and saw that Han Gui had not closed the door properly. Through the crack in the door, she vaguely saw a strong man carrying an ivory-like beauty on his shoulders. She did not dare to look at them anymore and quickly ran back to her room. She tossed and turned but the voices did not stop for a while. Aria did not know when she fell asleep. ¡­ The next day, Han Gui and Xinyue walked out of the bedroom refreshed. When he saw the resentful eyes of Aria with dark circles underneath, Han Gui wondered if something had happened yesterday Xinyue¡¯s pretty face flushed red. It was obvious that Aria had been kept awake by their bedroom matters. After breakfast, Han Gui brought Xinyue and Aria to the dark region again. He did not plan to go deep this time. Instead, Han Gui hunted in the central region. Aria stayed at the border between the outer and central region, working hard on her kills. Gaining three attribute points was very difficult for Aria. But she wanted to increase her attributes. Fortunately, attribute points did not have to be increased by character points and crystal cores. High-intensity training and life-and-death trials could also increase attributes, albeit slowly. Plus, Han Gui did not appreciate idleness in the people he had chosen to keep by his side. The 1,000 points and discount card he had used on her did not simply fall from the sky. If it weren¡¯t for Aria¡¯s potential, Han Gui wouldn¡¯t have bothered spending them any time soon. Aria continued to fight off monsters, aiming at their heads from various angles with her triangular military knife. However, she was still not strong enough. She couldn¡¯t even get her knife through a zombie with 3 attribute points for Constitution and Strength. Fortunately, the zombie had pretty low Agility which meant it moved slower and more rigidly. Otherwise, Aria would have been killed long ago. Even so, if she got hit by the zombie, she could still vomit blood. Having 3 Strength points was equivalent to having a hitting force of 150kg in a fist. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that she knew how to deflect attacks, she would have been killed by a single punch. The punch she just dodged even made a hole in the ground. Han Gui was observing Aria from afar and started to fear a little for her. However, Han Gui could tell that Aria was improving. If she was not able to improve under such training, she might as well die. Monsters would not reason or agree to fight one-on-one. All they knew was that the moment they are conscious and able to move, they would just go for the kill. Unfortunately, with two zombies and a skeleton soldier attacking her, Aria was starting to falter. The triangular military knife had stabbed into the head of one zombie many times but she still couldn¡¯t get through. Her initially strong defense had finally been broken. With a muffled groan, Aria quickly withdrew and retreated momentarily. But a big stinky hand swung over and slapped her in the back. She was almost knocked over but managed to regain her footing. In an instant, she spun around and knocked out the zombie to the ground. After killing one zombie, dealing with the remaining two became much easier. By using her Advanced Movement Technique, she only took a little more than ten minutes to kill the other two monsters. Aria finally had a moment to take a breather and relax a little. She took in a deep breath of cold air and lifted her clothes to inspect the bruised palm print on her back. Her eyelids twitched. She silently admitted that this hit almost knocked her out cold. A monster with 3 Strength points was just too terrifying. She put her shirt back down and started to search through the corpses to look for crystal cores. In the end, she was able to leave happily with one core in hand. Han Gui was still watching from afar and observed that Aria had escaped death many times and also reaped many rich rewards. When he calculated properly, he realized that Aria had killed forty-three monsters and obtained seven mana cores. Her drop rate seemed different from his and Xinyue¡¯s. Between the couple, they only had five crystal cores from the day. Were his and Xinyue¡¯s luck that bad? Han Gui had a feeling that there might be something else going on. Aria consumed all seven crystal cores directly. As such, her Strength and Agility had increased by 0.2 points respectively. She used her remaining 3 points on her Constitution. Strength equated to attack power, Agility was equal to speed, and Constitution represented the body¡¯s strength and speed of recovery. Though the increase was small, they should not be underestimated. With an additional 0.7 points in her attributes, Aria was finally able to fight the monsters around her with a little more ease. Han Gui regrouped with the girls and returned early to the city. He wanted to pay another visit to Shangguan Qian. There was a missing piece of information that had been nagging at him. When Shangguan Qian saw Han Gui pull up a chair by his stall with Aria and Xinyue in tow, he rolled his little eyes and smiled wretchedly. ¡°My dear friend, I didn¡¯t expect you to be back so soon! And you¡¯re looking like you¡¯ve been doing quite well too. How can I help you today?¡± It had only been two days since they last saw each other, and Han Gui already had two girls following behind him. Obviously, he was doing well. Where else could he find such obedient and beautiful girls in Infinite Space? Han Gui ignored Shangguan Qian¡¯s comment and directly asked, ¡°Fatty, does the drop rate of the crystal cores follow a certain pattern?¡± Chapter 35 - The New Game Is About to Begin! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A pattern? Shangguan Qian narrowed his small eyes, looked at Han Gui, and asked, ¡°You sensed it too?¡± There was such a thing! ¡°You knew? Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier? I wasted two days¡­¡± Han Gui¡¯s face turned black. ¡°If I had known the pattern earlier, would I only have gained this much?¡± Shangguan Qian rubbed his fingers again as he looked at Han Gui. ¡°You know the rules, but I didn¡¯t tell you before because this piece of information was more expensive. And since you¡¯re a new player, I didn¡¯t bother to mention it¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t think the 100 points you¡¯re offering is sufficient.¡± Shangguan Qian turned serious. ¡°This piece of information is more expensive than that?¡± asked Han Gui with a frown. ¡°How many points is it worth? And are you sure the information is true?¡± Han Gui still had 1500 points and Xinyue still had 280 points. 1780 points should be enough. Shangguan Qian put out one finger and said, ¡°1000 points. Take it or leave it. But I can guarantee it¡¯s valid and authentic. Otherwise, my stall would have been destroyed.¡± 1,000 points? Han Gui was shocked. Each piece of ordinary information was only worth 10 points. Was this fatty trying to scam people? Shangguan Qian wasn¡¯t surprised Han Gui had fallen silent. It was 1,000 points after all. Only the large factions in the F Class area could give out 1,000 points without blinking. Some people couldn¡¯t even get 1,000 points in a game. ¡°Let¡¯s make a deal. You had better not lie to me.¡± Shangguan Qian looked at Han Gui, confused. What was that? A deal? Did he hear wrong? His eyes widened as Shangguan Qian looked at Han Gui in shock. Then he looked at the equipment on Han Gui¡¯s body ¨C a level 3 armor on his body with a Desert Eagle and a grenade on his waist. This outfit alone was worth 500 to 600 points. Han Gui must have some of his attributes already enhanced too. And now he was willing to spend 1,000 points on this piece of information. How rich could this guy be? It was not until Shangguan Qian saw the 1,000 points transferred to him that he woke up from his daze. Han Gui had just traded 1,000 points without batting an eye. That was no small amount of points he had just spent! ¡°Alright, so tell me. And if you lie to me, I will use your fats to light up a sky lantern!¡± Shangguan Qian shivered and chuckled at Han Gui¡¯s sudden viciousness, then he returned to his usual wretched appearance. ¡°Come on, do I look like a liar? Come closer, I¡¯ll tell you.¡± Han Gui frowned and moved his ears closer. ¡°This information is only known to the larger factions and teams in the F Class area. All monsters indeed have the same drop rate of crystal cores. ¡°But you¡¯ve played similar games before, right? The higher your level, the lower your rewards from monster kills. But, if you kill monsters above your level, you reap more benefits. It¡¯s the same in the outer area. ¡°Although there are so many people in the outer area, how many powerful players have you seen? The truly powerful players are all further in. The drop rate of crystal cores for all monsters is the same when you are around the same level as, or higher than them. But if you fight across levels, the drop rate will increase correspondingly.¡± When Shangguan Qian was done talking, he retreated and Han Gui also sat back up straight. Now he understood. It all made sense now. ¡°Oh right, I¡¯ll give you another piece of news for free. There are rules in the outside world too. All you have to do is focus on killing monsters and leveling up. This is the tacit understanding everyone has. Don¡¯t worry about those who offend you.¡± He nodded silently. It was exactly as he had thought. After bringing Xinyue and the others back to the residence, Han Gui was not in a hurry to refine the crystal cores. Instead, he stored them. These crystal cores might be of great use at a later time. When night descended, Han Gui remembered to close the door this time. The next day, Han Gui brought Xinyue deeper into the darkness while Aria continued to stay at the outermost area. The results of the experiment were not bad. In a few days, Han Gui and Xinyue had obtained a total of 48 crystal cores. It seemed like a lot, but when spread out among them and the total number of monsters they had killed, it wasn¡¯t a lot. Aria, on the other hand, did not disappoint Han Gui. In four days, she had obtained 22 crystal cores. Her fighting environment that was like life-and-death had increased her Strength and Agility by 0.1 points each. After consuming the 22 crystal cores with an 8:8:2:4 distribution, Aria¡¯s four-dimensional attributes were instantly upgraded. Character: Alicia Master: Han Gui Strength: 2.4 Agility: 2.8 Spirit: 1.9 Constitution: 2.1 Her rate of improvement was pretty high. Han Gui did not bring Xinyue and Aria out today because a week had already passed. The new Infinite Game was about to begin. [Ding! Respected Player Han Gui, Infinite Game is about to begin. Please be ready.] The notification came while he was waiting patiently. He turned to look at Xinyue and Aria and realized that they were also looking at him. Han Gui nodded silently at them. A white light spread out from the big ball of light and the trio instantly disappeared from the sofa. Their vision blurred for a moment. After waking up again, they looked around. The dark environment made Han Gui frown slightly. The dark forest and dark sky indicated that it was probably nighttime where they were. Xinyue and Aria had also regained consciousness. It was not just the three of them. There were more than ten other people in the forest, most were looking around nervously. They were not the only ones in the crowd. There was another group of people seven or eight meters away. They had excellent equipment, wearing armor and holding standard guns in their hands. It seemed that they were an excellent battle team. While Han Gui was looking around, the players a few meters away were also looking at Han Gui. It was unavoidable. Han Gui and his team were too eye-catching. After all, he had Xinyue, the succubus, and Aria, the attractive assassin queen, standing on either side of him. ¡°Which game world is this? Do you guys have any ideas?¡± ¡°This dark environment looks like it might be alien, but the aliens would usually be in outer space. This might also be the Holy Land, but something is still not quite right.¡± ¡°Why do I get the feeling that this is like the Walking Dead?¡± They did not seem to be in the same team but they were already discussing among themselves. And they kept looking at Han Gui the entire time. ¡°Hey, Friend. Do you want to form a team? Do you have any information about this world?¡± Han Gui didn¡¯t pay attention to these people. He looked around and felt that he was familiar with this place. It seemed that this was¡­ [Ding! Infinite Game has officially started. This world is the Ruins of Death. We will now start distributing missions..] Chapter 36 - Heading to the Basement Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [Mission 1: Follow the task force and survive until you manage to escape from the ruins. Reward: 1,000 points. There will be no punishment if the mission fails.] [Mission 2: Ensure that the core members of the research team survive until they leave the ruins. Reward: 500 points. 1,000 points will be deducted if you fail this mission. If you have insufficient points, you will be terminated!] [Mission 3: Kill no less than 10 zombies. No reward for completing the task. 500 points will be deducted if you fail this mission. If you have insufficient points, you will be terminated!] [Ding! 5 points will be awarded for every zombie killed.] [Ding! Delivery of missions has been completed. Standard equipment will now be distributed. MP5 submachine guns, 60 rounds of ammunition. Special Task Force combat uniform. Serial number: ASS. Not under the jurisdiction of the Special Task Force. Free to live.] As soon as the system notification came, black combat uniforms, guns, and magazines suddenly appeared on the ground. Han Gui signaled to Aria and Xinyue with his eyes as they picked up their equipment. The three of them immediately put on their combat uniforms and grabbed their guns and ammunition. [Ding! The game space will connect to the Ruins of Death world in 3 seconds.] ¡­ [Ding! Infinite Game has officially connected to the Ruins of Death world.] There was a slight change in their surroundings after a few seconds. The special task force in the distance seemed to have noticed Han Gui and his team as they looked over. Han Gui ignored them and focused on the missions from Infinite Game. The first mission seemed simple, but it was the most ridiculous one. One had to read between the lines to know that ¡®no punishment¡¯ meant ¡®either you succeed or you die¡¯. If he couldn¡¯t escape and faced a bunch of predators, it would be a miracle if he survived. The second and third missions, on the other hand, were quite deadly. Who would have 1,000 points on them? If one couldn¡¯t complete either of the missions, they¡¯re basically done for. The cruelty of Infinite Game had been made apparent through these missions. Death was around every corner. Zombie movies usually portrayed one of the highest mortality rates after all. ¡°It¡¯s almost time. Although we are all under the orders of Leila Company, we have our roles in the team. You guys are responsible for cleaning up and we are responsible for the technical and security tasks. It¡¯s time to move out.¡± Han Gui looked at the members of the special task force who had walked over without him realizing it. Han Gui remained silent. ¡°Don¡¯t run around later. Mission two is not that simple. It¡¯s definitely a trap,¡± said Han Gui to his team. Han Gui then looked at the two researchers who looked like they could obviously escape by themselves. They needed protection? But Han Gui didn¡¯t think Infinite Game would give away 500 points for free. Since the plot required it, he thought it would be fun to watch how it would all play out. ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s most likely time to attack the villa now.¡± The special task force captain told Han Gui in a low voice before commanding the rest of his team to charge forward. Han Gui and the other two followed behind them, not bothering about the other players. When they arrived at the villa¡¯s basement door, they realized that the game had begun! The special task force team led the way while the players followed closely behind. After putting some distance between them and the other player teams, Han Gui turned to Aria and Xinyue and said, ¡°I¡¯ve studied the Resident Evil series before. If this place was really based on one of them, then there used to be about 500 underground researchers and some technicians, which means that we will have to face a siege of at least 500 zombies. ¡°However, there are still two uncertainties. One is the zombie dogs and the other is the Lickers. I don¡¯t know how many Lickers there will be but it is the biggest threat. Remember to be careful around them.¡± Xinyue nodded cautiously and said, ¡°Xinyue understands.¡± ¡°Master, Aria understands as well.¡± As the slave with the lowest status, Aria naturally didn¡¯t dare to make Han Gui unhappy, so she hurriedly responded. During these few days, she had witnessed Han Gui¡¯s strength, especially his use of the Dark Demon Ball. Its destructive power was simply terrifying, which hammered down her stubbornness and ego, making her more obedient. Assassins may be deadly, but they still fear the strong. Once he saw that they had understood, Han Gui said, ¡°There¡¯s still the most important thing to pay attention to. Be careful of the artificial intelligence, the Red Queen.¡± ¡°The Red Queen? She¡¯s artificial intelligence?¡± Xinyue was puzzled as she tried to imagine the Red Queen. Her expression turned solemn. She hadn¡¯t felt fearful of the character when she watched the movies before, but she knew that she needed to be seriously careful in her current situation. ¡°Don¡¯t ask so many questions. In short, don¡¯t treat this world as a movie. The plot might be useful, but if we follow it entirely, we will most definitely die. Just follow me closely, especially you, Aria. ¡°Don¡¯t let my cultivation and points go to waste.¡± ¡°Yes, I understand.¡± Aria nodded. Aria was not stupid. After spending the past few days together, she had not only witnessed Han Gui¡¯s strength but also somewhat understood Han Gui¡¯s character. It was not because she was obsessed with him. Although he was with Xinyue every night, her conscience remained calm and clear. She would not be tempted. After all, if it were not for the slave contract, she would have been killed a few days ago. Although she was usually allowed to hunt freely, her sharp assassin instincts told her that she was constantly being watched, as if to determine whether she had been a worthy investment. No one wanted to be a slave. Aria also had ambitions of her own. But she could tell that Han Gui was an extraordinary person and Xinyue was an exceptionally lucky woman. Han Gui had been pulling off some incredible feats lately and she didn¡¯t know what else he had up his sleeve. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Follow him..¡± Chapter 37 - Being Watched! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Han Gui and the rest of the players boarded the train underground after descending past the villa basement door. He gave his team a look, and the two girls nodded slightly. There was an H-Virus vial on the train, so Han Gui and the other two girls naturally knew what was going on. Suddenly, a muffled sound came from one of the carriages. They turned around and saw another storyline character, the culprit that caused the biochemical virus to leak, Dr. Smith, holding the H-Virus vial at the end of the train. Han Gui started for the back of the train, passing by a few storyline characters. Seeing that Han Gui had suddenly made a move, more than ten players immediately surrounded him. ¡°Do you know something? We are all players. If you know something, why don¡¯t you share it with us? Nobody wants to die. The zombie world is the most dangerous place. Don¡¯t make us force you.¡± Han Gui looked coldly at the players. ¡°I don¡¯t know anything, but I¡¯m a cautious person. My advice is to check the front of the train. ¡°Oh, and one more thing. I have a few high-explosive grenades. I wonder how many of you will die here if I set three of them off?¡± The group of players was so scared when they heard him that they took a step back. They looked at Han Gui coldly and Han Gui looked back fearlessly. ¡°Hmph! Let¡¯s check if there are any other dangers on the train. To the front and roof of the train!¡± Han Gui sneered as he watched the players move away. He glanced at Xinyue and said, ¡°The points for killing zombies are too little. And I don¡¯t think the points for Lickers are easy to earn.¡± Xinyue and Aria nodded with sparkling eyes. They didn¡¯t say anything, but they understood what Han Gui meant. With Han Gui blocking the way and threatening them, the group of players naturally did not dare to come over and provoke them. The special task force, on the other hand, looked at Han Gui with some interest. ¡°Captain, I have a feeling that there¡¯s something wrong with these people.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry so much. Our mission is to find out what exactly happened in the basement and to shut down the Red Queen.¡± The captain warned his team as his gaze swept over their surroundings. At the back of the train, Han Gui was standing by the railing. After looking around, he finally found the H-Virus vial that Dr. Smith had hidden in the corner. The moment his palm touched it, a notification popped up in Han Gui¡¯s mind. [Ding! Congratulations on completing the hidden mission. You have obtained an H-Virus vial box. The reward is 1,000 points.] [Ding! 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 10,000 points.] Han Gui was excited. He only wanted to obtain the H-Virus vial, not for himself but to be sold for points. Little did he expect to have completed a hidden quest and obtained ten times the reward. In an instant, he had received 10,000 points. Xinyue noticed an oddity in Han Gui¡¯s expression. ¡°Brother Han Gui, are you okay?¡± He turned to look at Xinyue. The sight of her beautiful face only made him happier. ¡°I feel great. I just want to ¡®eat¡¯ you up right now.¡± ¡°Ugh, pervert!¡± After glaring at Han Gui, Xinyue knew without a doubt that Han Gui must have received some benefits. Aria saw Han Gui and Xinyue flirting with each other. She looked at the black backpack in his hands. Based on his earlier expression, he must have received something from the system. She could not help but admire him. Han Gui placed the black backpack into his bag, turned around, and walked back into the carriage without looking at the number of vials in it. The fast-moving train finally arrived at a platform. Seeing that everyone had gotten off the train, Han Gui glanced at the time and said, ¡°We only have two and a half hours, so be careful. Also, not only do we have to be careful of zombies, but we also have to be careful of those players. If there¡¯s a chance, we should attack them directly. Otherwise, we might die and never have another chance. ¡°Xinyue, Aria, use your abilities well. Here¡¯s a silencer as well, Put it to good use.¡± Han Gui handed the silencer that he had prepared to Xinyue and Alicia and led them off the train. There were many boxes of goods on the platform. They went around the boxes and followed the special task force to the entrance of the basement. One of the members cut the door open as the captain announced to the players. ¡°Members of the ASS special task force, it¡¯s your turn.¡± The group of players looked at each other. They knew that they couldn¡¯t just be sitting ducks, so they held onto their submachine guns and walked toward the door. At the same time, they made sure to not let Han Gui and his gang get away. ¡°You guys come too.¡± Han Gui put on his gas mask and walked over. There was no danger yet, not at this point, at least based on the plot he knew. The real danger lay in shutting down the Red Queen and the subsequent zombie crisis. The moment they stepped through the door, the lights turned on and they happened upon a strange scene in the dimly lit underground. They found themselves facing many tall buildings with people looking out the window curiously at them. They could even hear police sirens. Weren¡¯t they a few hundred meters underground? But Han Gui had long known about and expected this, so he was not in the mood to listen to others¡¯ speculations and confusion. He quietly waited to make his next move. Just like the plot, the elevator had long been disabled. Han Gui and his group led the way. They went down several flights of stairs, bypassed the laboratory, and finally arrived at Restaurant B. More than a dozen members of the special task force looked at the huge containers in front of them in confusion. They had no idea what was going on, and the players were even more confused. Only Han Gui and Aria looked at each other, immediately knowing what was going on. This was indeed Restaurant B but in a different sense. These containers were filled with the most terrifying creatures, Lickers. Han Gui¡¯s expression had turned a little solemn. These monsters had very high Strength levels ¨C at least 5 points ¨C and agility. The worst part was that the more living things they ate, the stronger they became. With the Lickers¡¯ level of strength, the steel plates could be easily blown open. While Han Gui was observing the containers, the captain said, ¡°Members of the ASS special task force. We will be doing a sweep to search and inspect. Keep an eye on the researchers. The rest of you, follow me. We have to shut down the Red Queen.¡± The division of troops, the turning point at Restaurant B, the zombie crisis, and the root of all dangers. ¡­. Chapter 38 - Noisy Dogs Should Be Beaten! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation With a glint in his eyes, Han Gui pulled Xinyue and the other around a steel container and walked towards a three-sided corridor. When the other players saw Han Gui¡¯s actions, they immediately followed suit. Han Gui noticed the other players¡¯ behavior and immediately pulled Xinyue and Aria close to the wall. The players were shocked. Liu Mang didn¡¯t look too good as he watched Han Gui and his team. Han Gui had not been very cooperative, and he even threatened them. This made Liu Mang very unhappy. Among games for the F Class area, zombie games had the highest mortality rate. No matter how many bullets there were, they couldn¡¯t stop the zombie tide. No matter how strong the players were, they would be exhausted to death. He was sure that the three of them knew something about this game! ¡°Keep an eye on these three. If anything goes wrong, report it to us immediately. If they play any tricks, take them down. Be careful not to get hit by the grenades.¡± Liu Mang¡¯s teammates nodded at his command. Then, they turned to look at Han Gui and the other two with unfriendly eyes. To them, not sharing any information meant that they were deliberately trying to kill them. If it weren¡¯t for the grenades and the mission to guard the storyline characters, they would have taken out Han Gui and his team immediately. After instructing a few of his teammates, Liu Mang walked around to the other players and said something. A group of players kept looking at Han Gui with killing intent in their eyes. On the wall, Aria glanced at Han Gui and said in a low voice, ¡°Those people are targeting us. I think they¡¯re going to attack us. Should we attack them first?¡± Han Gui had also observed the changing situation. He shook his head, pointed at the rest of their surroundings, and said, ¡°Now is not the time. Wait for the zombies to come out, and then we¡¯ll take advantage of the chaos to attack them. This is not PUBG anymore. There won¡¯t be any notifications if we kill them. As long as one of them is alone, don¡¯t hesitate.¡± Hearing Han Gui¡¯s instructions, Xinyue and Aria nodded subtly. They looked at the players with eyes filled with killing intent as well. This was how Infinite World worked, after all. One had to kill another in order to survive. In the game, there would always be more than one enemy. After waiting for a long time, the light above his head suddenly flashed a few times before things instantly became dark. It was at this moment that a black weapon appeared in Han Gui¡¯s hand out of nowhere. The long body of a gun with a long black slip and infrared scope ¨C he was holding an M24 rifle from the previous PUBG world. There was no need for instructions. When Han Gui lightly jumped onto the steel container, Xinyue and Aria simultaneously dodged to both sides. Puchi! There was a sudden flash of fireworks in the darkness, then a figure groaned and fell to the ground. The other players instantly became alert. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did the lights suddenly go dark?¡± ¡°Be careful!¡± In the darkness, Rennes looked disdainfully at the panicking players and said, ¡°This is the power outage caused by the Red Queen. It will be over in a minute at most.¡± Just as Rennes finished speaking, they heard a thud. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°F*ck! Qian Ding, what happened to you?¡± More than ten pairs of eyes looked at the players who had fallen to the ground. Rennes, who had a disdainful look on her face, turned serious. ¡°F*ck! Where are the three of them?¡± A group of players looked in the direction of the corner of the wall with angry curses, but they did not find any traces of Han Gui and the other two. Restaurant B had turned dark, but they could still see clearly at least six or seven meters away. ¡°What do we do? Wait, I don¡¯t report to you, do I?¡± Han Gui managed to escape on the other side with Xinyue and Aria. He looked indifferent on the outside but he was happy on the inside. At this moment, the system notification echoed. [Ding! You have killed Infinite Player Qian Ding. You will obtain 1/5 of his points. Congratulations, you have obtained 100 points.] [Ding! 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations, you have received 1,000 points.] He had received 1,000 points after killing a player? Han Gui almost laughed out loud. Even if he didn¡¯t have the multiplier, Qian Ding was quite a rich player for one-fifth of his points to be 100 points. This person managed to gain 500 points before this? He must have been trying to avoid the point deduction punishment. Unlike Han Gui¡¯s happiness, Wu Yong was not that happy. In two seconds, his teammate suddenly died for no reason. How could he not be angry? Wu Yong was even more suspicious of Han Gui. Had Qian Ding been secretly killed by Han Gui? However, he had no evidence. An M24 with a silencer was too soft. He looked at Han Gui coldly. When he passed by him, Wu Yong gritted his teeth and warned him. ¡°Don¡¯t be too proud! I will deal with you sooner or later!¡± Wu Yong¡¯s aura was not weak. But Han Gui decided to kick him and ended up sending Wu Yong flying. Boom! Wu Yong did not expect Han Gui to suddenly make a move but by the time he noticed, his strong body had instantly dented a metal container. The impact of the kick from the front and clash with the container from the back gave Wu Yong heavy injuries. A mouthful of blood instantly splattered on the ground. ¡°What are you doing!¡± ¡°You f*cking dare to make a move!¡± ¡°Brother Yong! Are you alright?¡± The scene instantly became chaotic. More than ten players instantly raised their guns and glared at Han Gui. Rennes and the others from the special task force were dumbfounded. It was normal to kick someone to the ground, but wasn¡¯t that a steel container? It was so big and yet it had caved in? Was such strength still human? Han Gui swept his cold eyes over the players and finally stopped at the few who were helping Wu Yong down. He snorted coldly and said, ¡°You should all know the rules clearly by now. I don¡¯t want to kill anyone, but I won¡¯t let barking wild dogs be!¡± Their expressions changed drastically. The dozen or so players weren¡¯t fools. They knew Wu Yong¡¯s situation was a warning. In Infinite World, strength was everything. Rashly provoking an expert wasn¡¯t a wise choice. They didn¡¯t even get a clear look at the kick just now. In an instant, Wu Yong was sent flying and heavily injured. One had to know that Wu Yong was the leader of a small party. Someone whose strength attribute had reached 5 points was considered a third-rate expert in the F Class area. If even such a powerful Wu Yong was unable to defend himself against Han Gui, the latter must have at least 6 points in Agility and Strength attributes, right? Chapter 39 - The Strong Must Have the Temper of the Strong! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 6 points of Agility was enough to crush everyone¡¯s nerves. One may have a gun, but one must also have the ability to use and maneuver with it skillfully. 6 points of Agility did not mean that they could dodge bullets. But it would mean that they could at least dodge them to the point where the bullets hit a non-vital part. 6 points of Agility would be enough to dodge the speed of a moving hand. But Wu Yong was not even able to dodge Han Gui¡¯s kick. All the players looked at each other, and the muzzle of their guns hung down. They were lucky they were not dead yet. Wu Yong looked at Han Gui fearfully as he was supported by his teammates. That kick just now really made him feel as if he had walked through the gates of hell. Even remembering the feeling made him tremble. Wu Yong took out a bottle of medicine and drank it. The zombie world was too dangerous. If he was seriously injured, he would definitely die. He had spent 500 points to buy this bottle of medicine to heal 30% of his injuries. Wu Yong apologized to Han Gui, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. It seems that I have been too arrogant. Please forgive me, sir.¡± ¡°That kick just now could have killed you!¡± Han Gui snorted coldly. He didn¡¯t give Wu Yong any face at all. A strong person should have the temper of a strong person. This group of people was despicable. They had just been so rude to Han Gui¡¯s team. But with a simple show of strength, the former was now submissive. After being scolded by Han Gui, the group of players quickly bowed and smiled apologetically. But in their hearts, they were cursing Han Gui. The lights flickered once more and the area was lit up again. The lights gave people a sense of security. Everyone subconsciously let out a sigh of relief. Clang! Clang! A surprise? A bright light flashed in Aria¡¯s eyes as she realized what was happening. From the corner of her eye, she already saw Xinyue controlling zombies to make them kill each other. With a deep breath, she braced herself to go full-on with the zombies. She was looking forward to gaining character points in this game. Her only concern was the fact that she had too few bullets, so she had to use them sparingly. Her Desert Eagle had 93 bullets and the MP5 had 60 bullets in two magazines. She was definitely short of bullets. But on the bright side, surviving this world would mean she would leave in a much better state. She raised her MP5, aimed at the incoming zombies, and pulled the trigger. Aria was able to control the recoil of MP5 perfectly. She needed to save bullets. Her shots had high accuracy as each one successfully blew off a zombie¡¯s head. ¡°What¡¯s going on? What happened?¡± ¡°F*ck! There are zombies here!¡± ¡°Fire! Open fire! The zombies are all around us!¡± The players kept shouting. Rennes was momentarily confused. She and Jin Dong looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. Zombies? What the hell was that? Just when the two of them felt that something was wrong, Rennes suddenly saw a figure pouncing toward Jin Dong from behind. She quickly shouted. ¡°Be careful!¡± After pushing Jin Dong away, the figure suddenly pounced on Rennes and instantly bit her arm. On the other side of the field, Han Gui shot away at the zombies with his MP5 as he leaned against the container. Though the entire field was connected, he was nowhere close to Aria. But Han Gui didn¡¯t like his MP5. It could only release 60 bullets in total and he had to reload twice. Boom! Boom! Boom! Flames and hot bullets shot out. There were so many zombies that Han Gui did not even need to aim at them. The zombies started to fall to the ground one after another. [Ding! Congratulations on killing a zombie. You have gained 5 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. You have gained 50 points. Currently, you have killed 1 zombie.] [Ding! Congratulations on killing a zombie. You have gained 5 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. You have gained 50 points. Currently, you have killed 10 zombies.] ¡­ [Ding! Congratulations on completing Mission 3. Mission completed without a reward.] [Ding! Congratulations on killing a zombie. You have gained 5 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. You have gained 50 points. Currently, you have killed 47 zombies.] An invalid notification popped up midway. Han Gui rolled his eyes. Why would he get a notification if he didn¡¯t get a reward! The MP5 continued to fire away. Eventually, he had completely used up two magazines and the MP5 was now completely useless. Han Gui threw it out and continued by only relying on his raw strength. He instantly smashed down a few zombies. 60 bullets killed 47 zombies, which were worth 50 points each. This equated to 2,350 points. Of course, it was all thanks to his multiplier. ¡°Retreat! Retreat! Soldiers of the ASS unit, let¡¯s go! The Red Queen has released all the monsters!¡± Just as the players were happily collecting their points, Rennes ran over from the main control room with the daughter of the company¡¯s boss, who had disappeared for a long time. There were more than ten of them when they went over, but when they came back, there were only three of them. Han Gui knew that the rest had been killed by the Red Queen¡¯s traps. However, it was time to retreat. The containers holding Lickers were starting to become unstable. Han Gui remembered that one of the Lickers was the first to wake up. It seemed that the flying bullets had damaged one of the containers, which was why the Lickers could come out in the first place. Now that so many players were shooting without thinking, they might have damaged a few of the containers. It was better for them to retreat with the main character¡¯s team. The water and electricity pipes would be sufficient to kill the zombies. ¡°Xinyue, Aria, let¡¯s go!¡± Han Gui¡¯s voice brought them back to their senses as they quickly followed him out. Aria finally emptied her MP5, which was now basically scrapped metal. She felt slightly disappointed and satisfied at the same time. Like Han Gui, she had used up 60 bullets, and with her high accuracy shots, killed 60 zombies. That would have given her 300 points. She now held the Desert Eagle. But she didn¡¯t dare use it recklessly. It only had 93 bullets and she wanted to make sure every shot counted.. Chapter 40 - Is Aria Interested in Han Gui? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Aria looked at Xinyue enviously. The latter was holding an S686. It was a godly gun that had shot a few zombies into sieves. She remembered that the S686 had been given to Xinyue by Han Gui. Even a Licker wouldn¡¯t be able to land an attack with such firepower, right? A Licker was worth at least 50 points. The more she looked at Xinyue, the more her eyes filled with envy! Xinyue¡¯s marksmanship was not good so M416 and AKM guns were not suitable for her, and it would be a waste of bullets for her to use them. However, the S686 was different. As long as she did not shoot into the sky, she could have a sure shot within 10 meters, especially zombies that did not move fast. Rennes had caught Han Gui¡¯s attention. During the zombie attack, Rennes had been bitten by a zombie. Now, she had a bite mark on her hand. A zombie¡¯s bite could turn one into a zombie. At least that was what happened in the plot he knew. He wasn¡¯t sure if it would be the same here. Thud! Thud! Thud! Bang! Bang! The gunfire continued and the zombies started to slow in their advancement toward them. Behind Han Gui, the employees of the company were trying their best to key in the elevator password. Maybe it was because he wasn¡¯t mentally prepared, but the hands of the computer worker were shaking a little. He kept pressing the wrong password, and Jin Dong, who was in the same team as him, emptied his bullets and pushed him to the side. ¡°Tell me the password!¡± At this point, Han Gui already knew what would happen. With so many people here, there was no need to take the elevator because the elevator couldn¡¯t hold nearly twenty people. The elevator door finally opened but Jin Dong was instantly swallowed by the zombies. Without any way to retreat, the computer guy took the lead and ran toward the main control room. As they fought and retreated at the same time, the slow zombies were soon completely shaken off. The people finally entered the main control room. After killing the last zombie in front of them, Han Gui quickly changed his magazine, and the notification by his ear finally stopped. [Ding! Congratulations! You have killed one zombie. You have gained 5 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. You have gained 50 points. You have killed 81 zombies.] Speaking of which, the harvest this time was not as good as when he used the MP5. And he had consumed even more bullets. It was all because everyone was gathered together that aiming precisely became harder. However, Han Gui didn¡¯t feel that it was a pity. He had enough bullets. He had 11,000 of 5.56 bullets, but what about this group of players? Han Gui didn¡¯t believe that they had enough. Bullets were very valuable in Infinite Space. For example, the Desert Eagle bullet cost one point each. Although it was a specially-made bullet, it was enough to prove that bullets were expensive. The doors to the main control room had been closed so zombies couldn¡¯t get in. Han Gui and the others sat, resting. A group of players looked worried. ¡°Brother Yong, do you have more bullets?¡± ¡°Old Mao, do you have more bullets?¡± ¡°I have another magazine but I¡¯m almost out of bullets. There are a lot of zombies here.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have many bullets either. If I run into such a horde again, I¡¯ll be in trouble. I didn¡¯t expect that it would be zombies this time. I¡¯m not prepared enough.¡± Not only were the players running out of bullets, but Rennes and the computer worker were also checking their ammo. Rennes even threw her empty gun on the ground. A gun without bullets was better than a fire stick, except that it added weight. Aria was also carefully checking her ammo. She had just fired four magazines and 28 bullets. Now, she only had 65 bullets left, but she didn¡¯t kill much either. She had only killed 73 zombies in total. When Aria had almost resorted to splitting a bullet in half to save resources, Han Gui sighed and gave her an M416 from his backpack. Aria was surprised. He had given her a gun already loaded with a 40-bullet magazine, plus an extra of two more magazines. She now had 120 bullets. Wasn¡¯t she just Han Gui¡¯s slave? And there she was being envious of Xinyue before this. ¡°Take it. Don¡¯t say that I mistreated you and didn¡¯t let you grow. I know that you are a female assassin. You don¡¯t need to open your heart. Just don¡¯t drag me down.¡± After nodding silently, Aria placed the Desert Eagle into the gun bag and took the M416 and two magazines that Han Gui had handed her. ¡°Thank you.¡± Without saying anything, Han Gui leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. He didn¡¯t need to do anything now. He just needed to follow the plot, which would involve the boss¡¯s daughter, Leila at some point. The other players¡¯ eyes had almost turned green in envy. Everyone was almost out of bullets but Han Gui not only gave Aria an M416, but he also gave her a total of 120 bullets! In Infinite Store, one would have to spend a total of 260 points just to obtain that amount of ammo. ¡°What the f*ck? That¡¯s 120 bullets! And he gave it away just like that. If she kills 60 zombies, she will have gotten another 300 points. Isn¡¯t that an equivalent to giving away 500 points?!¡± ¡°Is that how you pick up girls?¡± ¡°I¡¯m f*cking jealous. Can I be a girl? I want someone to give me an M416 and bullets for free. I don¡¯t have high standards. Just give me 120 bullets!¡± ¡°This kid is f*cking rich. How many bullets did he shoot out earlier? He must be the son of a rich man in the real world and a rich tycoon in Infinite Space!¡± The group of players discussed animatedly. They looked at Han Gui with envy, jealousy, and hatred. They had almost wanted to steal from him but when they remembered how Han Gui had sent Wu Yong flying with a single kick, they retreated immediately. Aria sat next to Han Gui, her hand on the M416 as she wore a conflicted expression. She was originally a female assassin, so her heart was naturally cold. Thus, she should hate Han Gui. After all, she was even forced to become his slave. However, over the past few days, Han Gui had been taking care of her. And now, he had just given her these weapons and bullets. She was now at a loss. She did not know if she should continue to hate Han Gui, hoping that one day she could turn the tables and escape from his control or even kill him. She no longer had an idea of what was going on in her head. She was one of the top three female assassins in the assassin world, even given the honor of being queen. How could she be soft-hearted and hesitant? Shouldn¡¯t her heart be completely cold? What was going on? She looked at Han Gui. The man had his eyes closed but his side profile still had an indescribable charm. It was as if the longer she looked at him, the more attracted she was to him. Aria quickly shook her head and averted her gaze. She was a little afraid. Was she interested in this man? Was this a joke? Aria doubted it. They had only known each other for a few days. How could such a small favor wipe away her hatred? Tempted? Impossible..
