Translator: 549690339

Zhao Sihai knew he had lost the gamble, and the bet he placed was his own life. Seeing Song Jian rushing towards him, he accepted his fate with calmness in his eyes.

“The winner is king, and the loser is the enemy. Huh, this time, I’m just unlucky…” Zhao Sihai muttered softly, his gaze falling on the M24 sniper rifle in his arms.

He knew why Song Jian was rushing at him so quickly. His goal was definitely the sniper rifle in his hands.

A self-mocking smile appeared on Zhao Sihai’s face, realizing that he was not even worth a sniper rifle.

“What 1 can’t have, 1 won’t let you have either.” Hatred appeared on Zhao Sihai’s face. After staring at the sniper rifle for a moment, he chose to destroy it.

Click-

A crisp cracking sound came from inside the sniper rifle. The entire gun started to disintegrate, turning into crystal-clear light points and slowly disappearing.

Song Jian rushed into the pavilion, only to see the sniper rifle already halfway disintegrated and quickly vanishing. His face turned grim.

“Haha, there’s no way 1 would let you have this sniper rifle.” Zhao Sihai laughed heartily, spitting out blood as he spoke to Song Jian. Seeing Song Jian’s flushed face made Zhao Sihai feel very satisfied.

This sniper rifle had immense power. For any player, it was a deadly weapon capable of killing most players instantly from a kilometer away.

After disintegrating the sniper rifle, Zhao Sihai closed his eyes, looking ready to die. For a moment, Song Jian couldn’t bring himself to attack.

“Killing him now, isn’t it the same as murdering someone in reality?” Doubts began to seep into Song Jian’s heart. His past twenty-year life experience in reality made it hard for him to accept becoming a murderer.

While hesitating, Song Jian suddenly noticed the ring on Zhao Sihai’s right index finger starting to disintegrate into tiny pieces of light. He immediately realized that Zhao Sihai was taking the opportunity to destroy all the items in his inventory and on his body.

“You… deserve to die!” Song Jian’s eyes turned red with anger as he felt a surge of fury rush to his head. His own mercy had become a tool for the other party to mock him with.

Song Jian quickly drew his pistol, aimed it at Zhao Sihai’s forehead, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A hole as thick as a finger appeared on Zhao Sihai’s forehead.

System: You have killed player “Zhao Sihai”. The system determines this as self-defense; this kill does not increase your Kill Value.

Zhao Sihai’s mouth curled up slightly, as if mocking Song Jian’s tenderness, giving him the opportunity to destroy all the items and equipment in his inventory.

Song Jian realized that Zhao Sihai was destroying all the items he had, which filled him with rage and led him to kill Zhao Sihai. But after calming down and looking at Zhao Sihai’s body, a complex feeling emerged in his heart.

With a soft sigh, Song Jian felt as if he had stepped onto a completely different path.

After Zhao Sihai’s death, a package emitting a faint glow appeared next to his body. It contained all the supplies he had left behind. When a character dies in the game, all the items in their inventory and on their body will drop.

Song Jian shook his head and touched the package. Immediately, a supply interface appeared before his eyes.

Just as expected, Zhao Sihai had almost destroyed all his items. In the supply interface, only three items were left: a bullet for a 7.72 mm M24 sniper rifle, three Doomsday Coins, and a Skill Scroll.

Doomsday Coins cannot be destroyed. The sniper rifle bullet was obviously left behind by Zhao Sihai to mock Song Jian, but the appearance of the Skill Scroll surprised Song Jian.

“Why would he leave me a Skill Scroll?” Song Jian raised his eyebrows somewhat disbelievingly. The value of a Skill Scroll was huge. Even basic passive skills were sold for more than five hundred Doomsday Coins in the Doomsday Supermarket.

Song Jian focused on the Skill Scroll, and soon, the properties of the Skill Scroll slowly emerged.

“Skill Scroll: Eye of the Mind; Effect, use to acquire ‘Eye of the Mind’ skill. Eye of the Mind (Active), first level, skill effect, using mental lock on target has a 15% chance to find the target’s weak spot without alerting the target. Can be used in conjunction with other skills; Skill cost: 10 Spirit Points.”

Beneath the properties of the Skill Scroll was a line of yellow text explaining.

“If the items dropped from the target upon death is less than three kinds, a random skill from the target’s skill bar will be dropped!”

“This system is quite ruthless. Although it says it’s random, I bet it’s taken the most valuable skill from Zhao Sihai’s skill bar.” Song Jian took a deep breath, realizing that if it wasn’t for Zhao Sihai destroying all his items and equipment, this skill wouldn’t have appeared in the supply interface.

“This is clearly a support skill, and what’s more, it consumes Spirit Points. 1 finally have a mainstream skill.” Song Jian always believed that skills should consume Spirit Points, not Vitality Points. The active skills he had before all consumed Vitality Points, which made Song Jian feel that those skills consuming Vitality Points were all non-mainstream.

Emptied the supply interface, Song Jian decided to use the Skill Scroll.

“Little Cheap Brother, let’s quickly pick up the items dropped by the boss.” Li Ke’er shouted from the dried-up lakeside.

“Right, there are still the items dropped by the boss!” Song Jian slapped his forehead, almost forgetting about it.

He threw a glance back at Zhao Sihai’s body, let out a sigh, and rushed to the stone forest.

The two quickly returned to the stone forest. In the middle of the toppled stone tablets lay the body of the undead zombie beast, with several items dropped next to it.

“Why is this item emitting black light?” Li Ke’er curiously picked up the only item emitting black light.

Items in the game were categorized based on their quality, ranging from damaged, ordinary, excellent, to outstanding, assigned the colors grey, white, green, and blue respectively. Beyond these were the rare silver and gold items. But black items were unheard of.

“This looks like the stone tablet carried on the back of the boss… it’s an accessory, but the attributes are trash, only increases one Vitality Point!” Li Ke’er read the black item’s attributes and immediately scrunched her face, tossing it to Song Jian.

“Little Cheap Brother, this item can be brought back to the real world. You should keep it.” Li Ke’er smiled cutely as she spoke.

“Unknown Tablet (Black), Accessory, Equip Effect: Increase one Vitality Point; Use Requirement: none; Can be brought out of the game: yes.”

Song Jian shook his head and placed the stone tablet into the inventory column. Li Ke’er then picked up two blue-quality items, one in each hand, scrutinizing them with furrowed brows, seemingly finding it difficult to make a decision.

After a long while, Li Ke’er handed the item in her right hand to Song Jian and said, “Little Cheap Brother, we each get a blue-quality item. This one is for you!”
