Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Chapter 405: Chapter 207 Tavern Prototype_2

Yi Liangsheng was furious.

He was going to make that damned master pay!

But where was that guy?

He had no money on hand and nowhere to find people.

Suddenly, Yi Liangsheng thought of a place to get information.

It was the local player gang, Dreamshock Society.

Initially, he thought it was troublesome, but now he needed it, so he decisively joined the gang.

As long as he mentioned he was from Tianyuan Town, he smoothly got into the chat group.

Once inside the chat, Yi Liangsheng realized they were planning something big.

They seemed to want to kill the Xuan Family Master and let the player underneath take his place, simply called the Xuan Family Beheading Plan.

Now it’s in hot preparation; they urgently need manpower, so they were recruiting anyone.

The promises made were very tempting.

Any participant could directly receive a copy of the Xuan Family’s Cultivation Technique, or something of equivalent value like medicine pills, weapon materials, anything they want.

When the news was released, it felt quite extravagant.

Yi Liangsheng, who hadn’t entered Martial Arts, was very tempted.

But before that, he wanted to get his money back from the scammer.

Recently, his classmates in the game started asking for their debts back, and his family had noticed discrepancies in accounts, from suspecting theft to suspecting someone inside was embezzling.

In reality, his wife also mentioned she was going to a reunion in a few days and planned to wear some gold jewelry.

He managed to stall her by saying gold prices were rising and that he had sent it to a friend’s place for valuation.

But such excuses were not solid; his wife had become very suspicious these days.

All the pressures forced him to get that money back.

Luckily, inside the purely player-based gang Dreamshock Society, there were also quite a few who had been scammed by this bastard.

The scams were all the same, claims of being a Martial Arts master teaching swordsmanship, sword techniques, or boxing, all by the same person.

What that guy provided was a manual that you couldn’t learn anything from—obviously fake, but no one realized it at the time, as they were dazed by the ’adventure’.

Yi Liangsheng immediately joined this small group to discuss how to catch that guy and get their money back.

Amidst their shared hatred, Yi Liangsheng also established quite a bit of friendship with the group members.

And today, Yi Liangsheng got information from the group chat.

They had news about that scammer master!

Immediately, Yi Liangsheng skipped work, took leave, endured his wife’s scolding, and went online right away!

”Where! Where is that bastard!”

He gathered with the Dreamshock Society members who were scammed.

”At Little Tonic Tavern.”

The person speaking had a complex expression.

Because of his older age, Yi Liangsheng was respectfully referred to as Brother Sheng in this team.

He immediately took the lead, taking people to storm over.

At Little Tonic Tavern, a group of people gathered around the door, pointing and looking inside, finally seeing that extremely hateful master.

However, at this moment, that damn master had already become a corpse, indistinctly placed among other corpses in the tavern.

”Dead, he’s dead?”

Yi Liangsheng was dumbfounded.

The person providing the information sighed.

”Yes, dead.”

”The money??”

Seven taels of silver, it’s a matter of life and death!

”I don’t know, he probably spent it all. Heard he’s been frequenting various high-end brothels recently, spending money like water, always drinking expensive wines and consuming barrel after barrel.”

”...”

Yi Liangsheng fell silent.

Soon after, he felt a surge of anger.

These NPCs, are they playing me for a fool?

What to do.

No money.

Can’t fill the hole.

It’s still okay in the game, worst case I just die.

But in reality, those gold jewelry can’t be redeemed back now.

Just when Yi Liangsheng was at his wit’s end, his companion suddenly said.

”How about... we also join the Xuan Family Beheading Plan? I heard the Gang Leader added a new benefit, at the start of the event, you can plunder anything from the Xuan Mansion, and whatever you grab is yours.”

”The Xuan Mansion should have a lot of valuable things anyway...”

Plunder the items from Xuan Mansion, sell them for money, then convert it to cash to redeem the jewelry back.

His thoughts clarified, Yi Liangsheng hardened his heart and shouted to his companions.

”Let’s go! We’ll find the Gang Leader and join that Beheading Plan!”

These people had already suffered losses being scammed, now with someone leading, they naturally wouldn’t refuse, some even had already applied.

A group of people was about to leave.

Suddenly, they heard the urgent sound of horse hooves from afar.

In Tianyuan Town, not just anyone was allowed to ride horses.

Curious, Yi Liangsheng looked in that direction and saw a young man, dressed extravagantly and furiously riding a horse, galloping towards them.

”It’s someone from the Foolish Underworld!”

”No, that attire, it’s from Yangshen Hall!”

”Be it Foolish Underworld or Yangshen Hall, they’re both beyond our means. Scatter quickly, or his horse might trample us to death!”

The crowd quickly dispersed.

Yi Liangsheng was no exception.

The crowd parted, and the young man rode his horse through.

When he reached the entrance, the members of Foolish Underworld standing guard saluted one after another.

”Mr. Diao!”

”Mr. Diao!”

The young man dismounted and went straight into the tavern.

Yi Liangsheng noticed that the members of Foolish Underworld who were inside investigating the case had all stopped their actions and gathered around the young man.

Dressed extravagantly and holding a high position.

For a moment, Yi Liangsheng couldn’t help feeling envious.

This was the feeling he wanted when playing games.

Unfortunately, he was neither a Luck King, a hard grinder, a heavy spender, nor a native NPC. This kind of superior opportunity was hard for him to come by.

”Once I’ve copied Xuan Mansion’s techniques, repaid the debts, learned martial arts, I’ll also join Foolish Underworld to be someone important for a change!”

Yi Liangsheng thought to himself and left with his companions.

Reporting to the Gang Leader, Yi Liangsheng then learned that the Gang Leader was from the Xuan Family.

So the plan was to usurp the Xuan Family Master, ascending in rank, and seize the Xuan Family’s resources to develop the gang.

This tactic was somewhat similar to the demons and monsters in games.

What was more surprising was that the Gang Leader planned to make a move that night and even asked for mobile phone numbers for emergency offline contact.

As a bonus, each of them received five hundred yuan.

At that moment, Yi Liangsheng felt excited, thinking that following the Gang Leader might not be too bad.

Then... Tonight, the target, Xuan Mansion! Time for a big play!

...

Little Tonic Tavern.

As soon as Fang Yu stepped in, he smelled a strong stench of corpses.

”Diao Deyi!”

”Mr. Diao!”

”Mr. Diao has arrived!”

Che Linfang and her team quickly gathered around to greet him, while Fang Yu’s gaze turned to the dozen or so bodies on the ground.

Most of the bodies were relatively intact, only with fatal wounds.

But the bodies of Kun Shanhai and Hu Shusheng were particularly gruesome.

What’s going on?

Hu Shusheng had devoured Kun Shanhai, but only killed the other people in the store??

What kind of move is that?

This does not align with the demon’s core values.

The skin is torn, yet leaving meat uneaten? Something’s wrong.

”What’s the situation now? Have you found out how they died?”

Fang Yu asked Che Linfang.

The latter appeared slightly distressed.

”Except for Kun Shanhai and Hu Shusheng, the other bodies are relatively intact. It seems they were targeted at our Foolish Underworld.”

”Hu Shusheng’s body was torn as if mauled by a wild animal, terribly mangled.”

”Kun Shanhai’s body was decapitated, the organs like the internal viscera disappeared without a trace, and the blood dried up, body flattened, extremely bizarre.”

”It looks... like the work of a demon.”

Che Linfang concluded, making Fang Yu slightly startle.

Goodness, are you exposing yourself here?

”Sir, our judgments, are not far off from that of Che Shihu.”

”Maybe our recent tactics in Foolish Underworld have been too harsh, provoking retaliation from the demons, finally targeting our people!”

Everyone began to speak, largely echoing Che Linfang’s statements.

Fang Yu then realized, Che Linfang had no choice but to say this.

All evidence at the scene pointed towards demons, and had she suggested it might be human criminals, it would only raise suspicions, better to go with this mainstream narrative.

He planned to ask Che Linfang privately later about Hu Shusheng’s whereabouts.

After killing, you just ran, leaving this mess for me?

As my subordinate demon, not following orders, you’re going to face divine retribution!
