I'm a God in an Online Game

Chapter 16



Assassin from Godslayer Hall

The moment they met, Meng Jingtian sent over a request to form a group, but when Cai Minghou saw Meng Jingtian, he jumped off the bench and almost lunged at him. His eyes were shining as he shouted, “Holy shit! Your weapon—am I seeing things? A divine weapon? Hurry up! Let me see!”

Thump!

Meng Jingtian’s mouth twitched as he pushed him back onto the bench. “Get back! This old man isn’t gay! If you keep making trouble, you can just wait here until your account gets deleted and you have to start a new character!”

“Ouch! Ow! Ow! You can’t even adjust the pain level in this game! Brother Tian, I was wrong! Release me!” Cai Minghou yowled in pain.

“It’s good for you to taste a little pain! Why the hell did you take such a scam of a mission?” Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes and sat next to him on the bench.

“Heheh, don’t I have you, Brother Tian? Besides, the rewards for the mission are rather decent. One hundred thousand gold coins, a purple skill book, and two silver-grade adult NPC attendants. These are human-shaped treasures! And this early in the game, who else has them?” Cai Minghou chuckled.

“No matter how good the rewards are, you need the skills to get them!” Meng Jingtian glared. “Talk! What progress have you made with the mission? Do you have any clues?”

“The mission had me go and ask several NPCs for information, but even though I went to find them and did a whole bunch of missions, they still weren’t willing to tell me any clues,” Cai Minghou helplessly sighed.

“Ask NPCs for information? Take me to them!” Meng Jingtian said to Cai Minghou, immediately standing up.

“No, Brother, even if you go, what use will it be? I see that your equipment isn’t bad and your level is high, so why don’t we go find my in-game big brother and beat him up? We’ll directly ask him what’s going on!” Cai Minghou proposed. His brain was running rather quickly now.

“Fine! Take me to him!” Meng Jingtian also found the idea pretty good. After all, virtual online games weren’t like traditional ones, where the mission markers had to be followed step by step.

In current virtual online games, everything was possible. All events in the game could be influenced and altered by players.

As long as one could reach the ultimate goal of the mission, it didn’t matter if one followed the mission markers. One could complete the mission all the same.

“Uh… it’s no good. I was locked up for the entire night, so I don’t know where that scoundrel went.” Cai Minghou immediately dumped cold water on the idea and shook his head.

“Then why don’t you just take me to see those NPCs?” Meng Jingtian said, somewhat at a loss.

“It’s no good, Brother Tian, unless you plan to beat up those NPCs? I really asked them already. Why don’t we try to think of another solution?” Cai Minghou reluctantly took Meng Jingtian to find those NPCs, though he still couldn’t help but try to persuade him otherwise.

Meng Jingtian didn’t reply. He couldn’t beat up the NPCs, but he also didn’t need to.

The closest mission NPC was the waiter of Fragrant Pavilion.

“Excuse me. Have you heard about the matter concerning the Second Young Master of the Golden Goose Mercenary Company?” Meng Jingtian asked, not directly mentioning the mission.

“I have, I have!” The waiter nodded, and then he whispered, “I’ve even heard that the Second Young Master stole the item King Pingwu entrusted to the Golden Goose Company. I heard with my own ears the First Young Master of the Golden Goose Mercenary Company talking with some bandit boss. They were discussing the item in question in the private room of our restaurant!”

“No way! Holy shit…” Cai Minghou’s eyes flew open in disbelief.

But why? He had run around completing missions for this waiter and had only received a few ambiguous answers.

But Meng Jingtian had just asked a casual question and the waiter had immediately told him everything!

“The third mission clue has been collected,” Cai Minghou said to Meng Jingtian, a strange look on his face.

“Isn’t this very easy? Come on! Next one!” Meng Jingtian nodded and walked out of the restaurant.

“Wait, Brother Tian! What sort of item did you use? Why is it that the NPC refused to tell me anything but was so open with you? You must have a secret item!” Cai Minghou ran after him, extremely confused.

“Right! This item is called good looks! Didn’t you know that handsome people get a buff to their Charm stat when they enter the game?” Meng Jingtian sternly said, placing a hand under his chin.

“Screw you! If that’s true, then that NPC shouldn’t have even let you in the restaurant!” Cai Minghou joked, the corner of his mouth twitching.

The mission went very smoothly. Meng Jingtian simply stood there and the NPCs told him everything.

Meng Jingtian even managed to receive and complete two minor hidden missions.

“Brother Tian! Just tell me! Are you actually the son of the United Nations President? Is this game really your second home?” After this experience, Cai Minghou couldn’t help himself, holding Meng Jingtian by the neck as he interrogated him.

The difference in treatment was just too vast!

Cai Minghou recalled how he had been ordered around by these NPCs, and tears welled up in his eyes!

Meng Jingtian was the only one playing the game! He, on the other hand, had been played by the game!

The two quarreled and teased each other as they headed toward the residence of the NPC with the last clue.

At this moment, an unremarkable player who had just been brushing shoulders with them suddenly attacked Meng Jingtian.

“-999” “-999” “-999” A series of red numbers rose, frightening Meng Jingtian out of his wits.

It was clearly three attacks, but this player had moved so quickly that it seemed like they had all been made at once, and each attack had dealt significant damage.

As the fourth strike was about to land, Meng Jingtian saw that he had only one-third of his HP left. At this precarious moment, Meng Jingtian hurriedly used Divine Recovery.

At almost the same time, the player’s dagger stabbed Meng Jingtian, and a “-1433” popped up.

Fortunately, Meng Jingtian’s Divine Recovery had healed him fully, saving him from death.

“-999”

“-6999”

Two numbers popped up from the two of them, and that player who had ambushed Meng Jingtian was instantly sent back to the spawn point. Meanwhile, Meng Jingtian used Divine Recovery to heal himself back to full health.

Fortunately, this was the early stage of the game, so the player didn’t have a high critical chance. Otherwise, Meng Jingtian could have instantly died.

“An assassin from Godslayer Hall!” Cai Minghou cried out in alarm, finally realizing what was going on.

There had been zero time for him to react.

Had that battle been two seconds? Not even that!

Meng Jingtian gravely said, “That’s right!”

The other player had been very strong, and there had been barely any pause between his skills. If not for his overwhelming advantage in stats, Meng Jingtian would have been instantly killed.

As expected, Godslayer Hall was just as powerful as usual. It seemed that he needed to be careful!

Godslayer Hall wouldn’t rest until it had reached its goal. This was only the first assassin. There was a high chance that he would run into even more assassins, and they could appear at any time from any place.

At this time, the Godslayer Hall assassin that Meng Jingtian had sent back to the spawn point was also rather dumbstruck.

One skill to instantly kill? Jesus! Who the hell is the assassin here?

...

And that God Forsaken debuff left him even more conflicted.

“An Earth Level player at the minimum!” A few moments later, the assassin sent a message to another player.

Within Godslayer Hall, targeted players were classified into different levels.

Heaven Level: Master players with top-class equipment and the best skills.

Earth Level: Players with top-class equipment and superb skills.

Black Level: Players with superb equipment and superb skills.

Yellow Level: Players with superb equipment and ordinary skills.

No level: Ordinary players.
