Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1514: Chapter 819: Lure and Kill

“Have you guys heard? The Phoenix Guild is chasing down the White Light Person, they’ve already chased him for two kilometers,” someone whispered in the city of the main world.

“Isn’t that something happening in the 8th Multiverse World? How did it get out?”

“Oh, when the White Light Person was fleeing, he casually used a hand crossbow to kill two bystanders, and those two dead players made a post, cursing the White Light Person.”

The others felt puzzled: “… Isn’t he being chased? How does he have time to kill bystanders?”

“Who knows…”

Now, the 8th Multiverse World has unprecedentedly opened a new game mechanic, becoming the focal point of heated discussions across the net.

This is a major event that occurs only once every few decades, like a feast in the Superconductor World.

Although nearly 300 people have already had their accounts deleted and restarted, the thought of participating in such a massive battle royale is thrilling, and what does it matter to have your account deleted? In a place like the Superconductor World, having your account deleted and starting over is common.

At this moment, someone has compiled a list of the 10,000 players participating, and is updating the progress in real-time on the forum, along with the kill counts of the top one hundred players.

At present, the Underworld King ranks first and is wreaking havoc in the center of Red River Valley. This undead mage has already summoned over three hundred skeleton warriors.

Based on the shrinking of the poison circle, the location of the Underworld King seems to be the final battleground. Players aiming to pass must survive his attack.

The Underworld King is an online celebrity live streamer, and many people can see his first-person perspective.

There are rumors that vice presidents of the four major guilds are already negotiating with the Underworld King’s assistant, trying to get him to help their guild members clear the level and see what profession the clearance reward for this 8th Multiverse World is.

The second-ranked player, Viper, is a girl and an assassin, currently prowling the second outer circle, leveling up crazily.

The third on the list is the White Light Person.

The top player, Underworld King, has 311 kills, the second, Viper, has 112 kills, and the third, White Light Person, has 27 kills.

There’s a stark drop in kill counts among the top three.

Actually, this is normal. After all, the Underworld King is an S-Class Battle Master, and no matter how strong the others are, there’s still a significant gap compared to him.

“Viper and the White Light Person will eventually meet the Underworld King in the center of the Red River Valley, right? There’s no way they can be a match for him.”

“Isn’t that obvious? The White Light Person was only F-Class when he went in. The fact that he’s managed to kill this many is already impressive. Never mind facing the Underworld King, he can’t even get past the Phoenix Guild. However, he was the one who created this instance. His ability to discover game mechanics like this is already remarkable, but it’s a pity that he’s clearing the way for others.”

The casual players all acknowledge Qing Chen’s prowess, but they believe it’s impossible for Qing Chen to clear the 8th Multiverse World.

Someone probed the Phoenix Guild Leader: “Why are you chasing the White Light Person? Do you have a grudge against each other?”

The Phoenix Guild Leader had just logged in and was caught off guard by the question: “We’re chasing the White Light Person?”

He was in charge of gathering intelligence. It’s said that a demigod-level Awakener suddenly appeared in Black Water City, attacked a level 2 church, and killed everyone there.

The Duke of Blackwater is enraged and is investigating who did this.

Even King Roosevelt was awakened in the middle of the night and ordered a thorough investigation.

The other three parties are busy proving: It wasn’t us.

In such a tense moment, if it weren’t for the Phoenix Guild Leader thinking about recruiting the White Light Person, he wouldn’t even have time to log in.

As soon as he logged in, he heard that he was sending people to chase him down…

Nima…

He turned to his subordinate and asked, “Who gave you the order? Didn’t I say to recruit him?”

The subordinate felt wronged: “We wouldn’t dare to order a chase on our own; it must be an undercover from our guild trying to frame us.”

The Guild Leader quickly realized: “Damn it… Activate the undercovers we have in other guilds. If we can’t have him, then no one else can either. All of you, go chase the White Light Person!”

Right at that moment, Zhong Yu, bleeding all over, also followed a bunch of people heading toward the entrance of the 8th Multiverse World. Although he couldn’t enter the instance, he wanted to join in the excitement.

…

…

On the plain, Qing Chen kept running, dodging the skills coming from behind.

He was covered in wounds: three on his leg, seven on his arm, two on his back, all from being chased.

The medicine from the supply drop was finished, the crossbow arrows were used up, the hand crossbow discarded, but there were still dozens of pursuers behind him that he couldn’t kill off.

Moreover, the number of people chasing him seemed to be slowly increasing.

“Why are you guys chasing me?” Qing Chen was puzzled: “Wasn’t it just a bit of harvesting you in the 136th Multiverse World? Is it really necessary to chase me like this?”

He ran alone in front, looking ragged, while dozens of Phoenix Guild Members chased behind, hell-bent on killing him today.

The key was that this group of guild members was different from ordinary players.

Because the instances were mostly dominated by the four major guilds, ordinary players found it difficult to acquire professions, usually opting for a few doses of genetic potion, and that was it.

But those guild players all had professions!

Looking at them surrounded by icy rings or engulfed in flames, ice and fire mages seemed to have been assembled by Qing Chen.

This time, Qing Chen didn’t look back, fearing he’d be instantly taken out by a single skill.

But what were these people after? He hadn’t done anything outrageous, so why was he being targeted?!

Did they discover my Knight identity?

It shouldn’t be!

Qing Chen has already advanced to D-Class and gained a new Thunder skill: Lightning Strike.

This skill involves channeling the internal thunder energy in a specific pattern, ultimately releasing a lightning attack about five meters away from the palm.

Qing Chen judged that this could work in the real world, at least students practicing the God of Thunder could use it.

Gradually, the pursuers closed in from both wings, a group of spirited elite players faced the disheveled Qing Chen, like a relaxed wolf pack chasing a lone buffalo.

Someone blocked the path with an ice wall, each time Qing Chen barely avoided it.

Sometimes when he lost balance, he even had to crawl using both hands and feet, covered in mud and dirt.

The players mocked him, is this the White Light Person?

However, before they could be pleased for long, just as they neared the forest edge, Qing Chen suddenly accelerated and dashed into the dense woods.

Dozens of Phoenix Guild Members stood at the forest edge: “Should we continue the chase? The visibility in the woods is too poor; what if he’s running here with a trap in mind.”

“Chase,” a crocodile-like person said coldly: “He’s at most D-Class now, can’t make much of a wave.”

“Chase! He’s already spent, let’s kill indiscriminately!”

Dozens of players pursued into the woods, and due to the large area of the forest, their formation gradually dispersed.

A player walked cautiously in the woods, but as he passed a large tree, a piece of ‘sod’ behind him came to life and slowly stood up.

Just as he heard a noise and was about to turn around, a dagger extended from behind and deftly slashed his throat.

When the player fell to see his killer, all he could see was the enemy crouching and sneaking in another direction.

Did he look disheveled at all?

The opponent’s body was covered with grass, and at some point, the White Light Person had woven a ghillie suit using vines from the dungeon!

Based on their pursuit time, it definitely wasn’t woven on the spot, the opponent had prepared the ghillie suit here long ago, ready to lure people in for the kill.

Just then, someone nearby suddenly yelped as they fell into a pit full of wooden spikes, getting impaled and chilled to the core.

The wooden spikes in the pit were about half a meter long, piercing through the player’s body, pinning them grotesquely to the ground.

This player wasn’t dead yet, and another next to him got ensnared by vines and hung in mid-air.

The player arched and used a laser sword to cut the vines, but as soon as he hit the ground, a thick tree branch, tied to the other end of the uncontrolled vine, fell and crushed him to death.

The Phoenix Guild players were startled, they had been to this No. 8 Multidimensional World before and never heard of Hunter traps here.

That’s when they remembered the White Light Person entered the Multidimensional World earlier than them, staying more than a day here, without any change in his condition.

In other words, the opponent used this head start to prepare all these in advance, just waiting for someone to take the bait.

Too cunning.

Who goes into a dungeon and first sets traps?!

Most players in the Superconductor World game look to utilize professions, levels, skills, and equipment, but the White Light Person treated the place like reality, chopping vines to make ropes, digging pits to set traps.

Just like a real Hunter in the real world.

So, it wasn’t that they chased the White Light Person into this, but that he lured them there, selecting the battlefield himself!

Even without them, other organizations or guilds would have been lured into the trap by the White Light Person.

These traps clearly targeted large-scale enemies; the opponent wasn’t as pitiable as he looked.

“White Light Person wants to level up quickly!” The pursuing players were shocked: “Is he trying to jump directly from F-Class to S-Class, to compete with the Underworld King for the final victory?”

As they spoke, they saw him pass a large tree; from above the canopy, Qing Chen, hanging upside down with his legs wrapped around a branch, slashed the player’s throat with a hand before disappearing back into the foliage.

The surrounding players unleashed their skills at the canopy frantically, but when they calmed down, they found that the opponent had moved from treetop to treetop, monkey-like, far away.

Someone observed closely and found the opponent unusually agile, as if he had planned every branch to step on in advance.

Everyone was playing a two-dimensional plane map, fighting on the ground, but White Light Person played it like a three-dimensional game, opening a new path through the dense treetops.

Are you part monkey?!

…

…

Outside of the No. 8 Multidimensional World, a player suddenly noticed that the White Light Person’s kill count had increased by 6 again, jumping from 27 to 33.

The increase in kill count wasn’t strange, but the key point was, wasn’t this White Light Person being pursued by Phoenix Guild? Other eyewitness players all said, it was dozens versus one, right, and the opponent was still a plain whiteboard small account when he entered.

Dozens of people ganged up on one, yet six were counter-killed; you all really know how to play!

Outside the treehole, the players quietly looked towards the Phoenix Guild Leader, their expressions seemed to convey their doubts: Are you really this incompetent?
