LWGP - Chapter 61
Chapter 61: Bow and Arrow
With the ringing of the cell phone, even a fool could understand what was happening.
This guy named Yang was really something else, contacting someone to snipe from the outside. It had to be to kill the owner of the boss. Once the owner died, the ownership rights would naturally transfer.
But the other seven people looked completely bewildered.
Seeing he was exposed, Yang Cheng, who was clever and cunning, immediately cried out to Qing Yu and the other soldiers for help. Before Qing Yu and the others could say anything, Wang Jiu frowned. "What's the meaning of this? I never said I was going to kill you."
Yang Cheng was stunned. Before he could react, Wang Jiu grabbed his hand, like a girlfriend holding her boyfriend's little hand.
It was calm, natural, and even a bit intimate.
Yang Cheng was dazed, but he felt Wang Jiu's finger hook the long-handled axe from his hand, and then she shoved him to the ground.
"Wait!" Xie Lu hurriedly called out, but Wang Jiu had already raised and swung the axe. In a flash, with two sickening crunches, she chopped off both his legs.
Aside from Xie Jiang, who raised an eyebrow and smiled, everyone else was silent as a cicada in winter.
Surgery, the director of surgery.
Her skill at removing arms and legs was no joke.
After the flesh and blood flew, as Xie Lu's expression turned stern, she lifted her face, casually tossed the axe to the side, and glanced at him.
Xie Lu frowned. From their brief contact, he knew this woman had no interest in debating right and wrong with people.
Her principles were simple—outside of what the Old Lady forbade her from doing, she did whatever she pleased.
Xie Lu was someone who had lived by the rules his entire life and was very uncomfortable with her style. "Ms. Wang, I think…"
"He's from the Yang family."
Xie Lu raised an eyebrow. "He is not."
They had investigated Yang Dong's family many times, and this Yang Cheng was not part of it.
Wang Jiu: "I think he is."
At the side, Qi Dong coughed and tactfully reminded her, "Ms. Wang, he really isn't."
Wang Jiu smiled. "As long as I strike fast enough, he is. Besides, he's not dead yet, is he?"
Yang Cheng's body convulsed, and he suddenly foamed at the mouth and died.
"The axe was poisoned."
The axe belonged to Yang Cheng, so of course, the scoundrel had applied the poison himself.
This couldn't be blamed on Wang Jiu, although she had observed it beforehand and known about it.
Everyone thought to themselves: We knew you were really trying to kill him. But it was close enough. If the game was going to fully load at midnight, one could imagine the fate of Yang Cheng, who, even if he didn't die, would have had both his legs cut off.
What's more, he would have had to face a military investigation.
The person with the sniper rifle now was no ordinary individual.
Qing Yu had already sent people to take the sniper away.
As for Yang Cheng's death, no one really cared, since he was the one with the dark heart first.
More importantly—with him dead, the participation he had earned with the mud golem would be transferred to Wang Jiu.
This was likely Wang Jiu's true objective, but since the other party had attempted murder first, Xie Lu couldn't say anything.
What everyone else cared about were the dungeon rewards and unlocking the corpse.
But before that…
"Does 'serving the people' include washing shit off the people?" Wang Jiu asked languidly.
Who needed her kind reminder?
Xiao Jue and the others, who had been trying hard to ignore this fact, were extremely depressed, but they all looked towards the military personnel.
"Bring the water truck over." Qing Yu was from a military background and could endure almost anything, but he wasn't the only one here.
There were also the people mired in suffering.
He had to serve the people.
He made a call to arrange it, but Wang Jiu noticed Xie Jiang looking at her. She didn't want to fall out and fight with the two from the Xie family, mainly because she couldn't beat them, but she was unwilling to back down in the fight for the boss's ownership rights.
She was also betting that this Xie Jiang probably still cared about his reputation. Even if he didn't, Xie Lu did.
As long as both were present, she was, conversely, safe.
So she didn't mind him looking at her and was just waiting to receive the rewards for this dungeon.
Suddenly, she faintly felt that something wasn't right, a sense of anxiety and unease, as if… she was being targeted by something dangerous.
Wang Jiu keenly sensed that something was wrong and was about to move, but someone was faster.
Xie Jiang shot out a hand, his broad palm gripping her shoulder, pulling and yanking her.
Whoosh. Just as Wang Jiu was pulled in front of Xie Jiang, an arrow with red tail feathers was already embedded in the spot where she had just been standing.
The penetrating power was incredible; the arrowhead was buried deep into the ground.
It was a terrifying arrow. She, who could sense a sniper's bullet, had been completely unaware of it, feeling only a mysterious sense of unease.
Wang Jiu abruptly looked in the direction the arrow had come from but saw no one.
She couldn't even tell where it had been shot from.
But Xie Jiang definitely knew.
"Already gone. Speaking of which, I thought they were here to kill me. I didn't expect you to be the target."
"Little widow, was that a spurned lover you played with until love turned to hate?"
Xie Jiang teased with ill intent.
Wang Jiu turned her face to meet his, their bodies pressed very close.
"No."
She couldn't figure out who the other person was. The attack from this bow and arrow was very strange; it should be a game weapon, and the most powerful one she had seen so far. Although Xie Jiang and Xie Lu's swords definitely had incredible attributes, the opponent's weapon was a long-range bow and arrow. That alone was formidable enough. However, that person was probably still no match for Xie Jiang, which was why they resorted to assassination and decisively retreated after failing.
She definitely couldn't catch up to them now.
Was that person from the Yang family?
But the Yang family didn't have such a foundation. Could it be the people behind Miao Mountain?
"Thank you for saving me. You can let go of your hand now, Sir Xie."
Xie Jiang's hand was still on her waist.
But as soon as she said that, Xie Jiang's hand tightened, pulling her body closer until it was pressed against his chest.
Everything that could be smeared was smeared.
Wang Jiu narrowed her eyes and looked up at Xie Jiang.
Xiao Jue frowned sharply, but he held back and said nothing.
"You started this, so who are you to laugh? Now we're the same." Xie Jiang was not a good-tempered person. He had realized that Wang Jiu had schemed against him, but it was just a tactic, so he didn't hold a grudge. But after scheming, she had the gall to mock him.
If he didn't get his revenge, could he still call himself the famous Boss Xie of Cai Market?
After successfully retaliating, he looked down at Wang Jiu with a half-smile, wanting to see the little widow get angry and blow her top.
But instead…
She chuckled lightly.
"That's truly terrible. Will Sir Xie become the first, and only, man I think of who is completely covered in shit?"
Her words were gentle and composed, and she made no move to break away from the ambiguous posture, as if she didn't care about the foul stench and filth she was now covered in.
Lust and filth—she saw them both as mere tools.
And victory was determined by who was more displeased.
Evidently, Xie Jiang was not pleased with her statement, but he didn't show it and was about to let go.
Boom!! A wide spray of water rained down.
The two of them were drenched, like drowned rats.
Retribution may be late, but it is never absent.
Xie Jiang and Wang Jiu: "…"
As everyone rinsed off under the water truck, they received notifications from the System, each settling their kill counts.
System: "Congratulations, you have successfully killed the boss of this wilderness invasion dungeon, the Blade Minion BOSS. As the owner of the kill and the MVP of this dungeon, it is currently calculated that you have killed a total of 74 Blade Minions and 14 Blade Shieldbearers. Your dungeon participation is 85%, your personal rating is 10 stars, and the overall dungeon rating is 9 stars."
The overall dungeon rating was only 9 stars? While not low, not many people had died.
It was probably because of the environment; everyone's performance wasn't good enough, and it took a bit too long.
Wang Jiu had no temper left for this.
System: "According to the reward rules, as the owner of the kill, you have full authority to select and distribute the boss loot. For your rating rewards, the 10-star personal rating grants 4 attribute points, and the 9-star overall dungeon rating grants 4 attribute points. Furthermore, for both personal and overall ratings that reach the 10-12 star super-grade stage, you are rewarded with one spin on the Lucky Wheel. You have currently obtained 1 spin on the Lucky Wheel. Do you wish to use it now?"
But achieving a personal super-grade rating was a pleasant surprise.
What was a Lucky Wheel?
Wang Jiu chose not to use it for now, first claiming the 8 attribute points, and then she would unlock the boss loot.
Mainly because the others were waiting with bated breath.
The benefit of a wilderness invasion dungeon was that as long as a participant reached a certain level of participation, they would receive a reward.
This wasn't necessarily the case for an Unknown Dungeon, where at the final settlement, all the benefits would belong to the owner's team.
Wang Jiu looked at the crowd and praised, "Your combined participation is so low, yet you're all so enthusiastic and passionate. Your mindsets are truly optimistic."
Everyone: "!"
Be a human, will you!
Wang Peng said sheepishly, "Sis, we're just trying to get a feel for things. Players develop slowly. We'll definitely be stronger in the future."
Wang Jiu: "In my experience, those who can't develop early on will just wither away later."
Wang Peng: "…"
Please just loot the corpse and stop talking, thank you.
"Loot it quickly. I'm waiting to go home and do laundry. Let me see what good stuff you guys got from this dungeon."
Xie Jiang's personality was erratic, but he seemed quite tolerant towards Wang Jiu. However, Wang Jiu felt this was only because Xie Lu and the others were present. If it were just the two of them, she wouldn't believe she could survive.
Glancing at Xie Jiang, Wang Jiu suddenly called out.
"Ah Shu."
At this call, everyone present couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.
Xiao Qing looked at the chubby Wang Shu running over, then at Wang Jiu, whose eyes were as gentle as water in autumn.
Then she remembered how the latter had previously encouraged her to go skiing.
She was truly… a realistic romantic (commonly known as a scumbag).
It was Wang Shu's first time looting a boss, and he was very nervous.
But Wang Jiu just patted the back of his head and said gently and delicately, "Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter if you pull out a bunch of bad stuff. As long as there are a few good things, that's fine. Anyway, I'll only pick the best. The rest of the bad stuff has nothing to do with us."
Wang Shu immediately relaxed. As he looted, a pile of items quickly appeared.
Fortunately, the ground had been cleaned by the water truck, and the pile of items lay on the wet ground.
There was a skill book, a card, three treasure chests, five pieces of bronze equipment, a good amount of grey equipment, and various material rewards. Forget the condoms and toilets—they'd seen those before—but now there was even an iron wok and a lighter.
Was it really covering all types of items?
But the rewards dropped were really… quite a lot!
Huh?!
This was even more than in a mystic realm mode.
Wang Jiu was surprised. The hand patting Wang Shu's head quickly changed to pinching his cheek, her eyes filled with a tender affection, much like a spider demon staring at Tang Sanzang.
Wang Shu: "!"
Master, don't be like this, I'm scared!
However, it was the System that couldn't stand the severe imbalance in their bodies' pH levels and reminded them that this was because the Blade Minion clan was considered quite good among grey-grade dungeons. This time, an especially large number of monsters had spawned, so the rewards were higher than the basic standard.
But this time, the luck was indeed red-hot.
As a program, it couldn't deny that.
Even Xie Jiang stared at Wang Shu for a long while.
This damn fatty actually has the constitution of an RNG God?
No wonder this woman looked at him like she wanted to eat him.
