The World of Darkness and Shadows.
A figure wandered around the community in a daze.
"Zhong Chu, why are you here?"
A student asked, "Didn't you go to sell the light balls? Did you sell them? "
"I don't know."
Zhong Chu hesitated.
“???”
The student was dumbstruck. "How can you not know if they sold them?"
There was a professional recycling shop in the World of Darkness and Shadows. The recycling process was automatic. Why would they not pay?
"Theoretically, they should have sold them."
Zhong Chu was puzzled. "But they didn't pay me!"
This was what happened.
He followed the guidelines and went to the recycling shop to sell the light balls. The shop took them away and a dialog box popped up for him —
"The data is being processed. Please wait. The Shadow Coin will be sent to you within 24 hours."
"And then?"
The student was surprised.
"That's all."
Zhong Chu was honest.
"You left just like that?"
The student was shocked.
"All banks are like this."
Zhong Chu was teary-eyed.
Every time he transferred money, the bank would prompt him like this. Although it usually took a few seconds to complete the transfer, the prompt was always the same. Therefore, he believed it.
Afterward …
There was no afterward.
It had been a whole day!
He had waited until now but he did not see the so-called Shadow Coin.
"Could it be that it's a holiday …"
Zhong Chu made a guess.
"…"
His classmate looked at him as if he was an idiot. Damn it. Did he think that everyone was a civil servant?! Holidays? The World of Darkness and Shadows was full of shadows? Nonsense!
This was the World of Darkness and Shadows!
Fully automatic!
Everything was handled according to the rules!
Did he think that some departments were so lazy?
"If I didn't guess wrongly, you must have been cheated."
The student sighed.
"It can't be?"
Zhong Chu was dumbstruck.
He felt that he was not as talented as Zhang Xukun, Gao Tianlang and the rest. Therefore, he chose to sell the light balls to improve his combat ability. He had been cheated?!
"Sigh.
"How many times have I told you? You are too naive."
The student sighed. "You spend 90% of your time in school cultivating. It's useless. You should go out to do missions, meet friends, stay in hotels and enrich your experience.
"But now …
"There is no other way."
"I still need the light balls to kill the monsters and I don't have Shadow Coins. The students are all competitors. It's impossible for me to give them to you.
"How could this be …"
Zhong Chu was in a daze.
If he was cheated, how could he participate in the ranking?!
What were points?
To be more precise, points were the amplification of the shadow's combat power!
To the students of the First College, the vast World of Darkness and Shadows was like a small society where they could improve their combat ability through various methods!
Furthermore …
Sell the orb!
The purpose of the Shadow Light Sphere's existence was to absorb the monsters' power and convert it into points! But what about the students who had no intention of fighting monsters?
Selling it was the best deal!
Hence …
Among the students, there was an additional group of students who had sold the light orbs.
They sold the light orbs and exchanged them for Shadow Coins. Then, they used the Shadow Coins to purchase the purest Shadow Power that had been tempered to increase the combat power of their shadows!
This was the most stable and most Buddha-like cultivation method.
Theoretically …
They could absorb all the energy in the next few days during the assessment …
Perfect!
However …
He had never expected that the NPCs like shadows could actually deceive people! If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have been fooled!
"The teachers said that this place is full of sin and deception."
The student sighed and was filled with emotions. "I didn't believe it in the past, but now I do."
"My condolences."
He sighed.
Inexplicably, he felt a tinge of relief.
Zhong Chu was very powerful. If he passed the assessment, he might be his opponent during the on-campus job fair. In that case, there would be one less slot.
However …
At this moment.
A screen suddenly popped up on Zhong Chu's Shadow Combat Suit — Congratulations, your current assessment results are in first place.
The students were speechless.
Zhong Chu was speechless.
Why was he in first place?!
…
Tian Du City.
The First College.
In the square, the students were shocked to discover that a student named Zhong Chu had started from the middle of the ranking. He had been charging to the front, surpassing countless geniuses and reaching the top!
"Who is this?!"
"Zhong Chu, I seem to have heard of this name …"
"I remember that his results are average?"
"Perhaps he has hidden his abilities?"
Everyone was amazed.
This was unbelievable! Who would have thought that after Ye Liangfei and Zhang Xukun's demise, the first to reach the top would be the mediocre Zhong Chu!
At this moment …
Even the teachers in the school were shocked.
In just one day, several students had been eliminated. However, they did not attract much attention as their elimination timing was in line with their expectations.
On the other hand, Zhong Chu …
"Old Zhang, I remember that he is from your class?"
"Yes. However, although this child is talented, he is obviously not top-notch …"
"It seems that he is quite lucky to have collected a large amount of shadow power."
"Isn't luck a part of one's ability?"
"That's true."
The teacher's face turned into a chrysanthemum flower.
Not bad!
Zhong Chu, who had average results, was in first place! It seemed that although this kid was not the most talented, his luck was indeed top-notch!
One had to know …
The World of Darkness and Shadows was full of mysteries. It all depended on them!
"Zhong Chu …"
Many people in the association had taken note of this name.
Perhaps …
They could consider getting in touch with him.
…
The World of Darkness and Shadows.
Somewhere.
Countless shadows flashed before Lu Ming's eyes.
After getting the light ball, Lu Ming studied the conversion rate of the light ball and felt that it was not ideal. Therefore, he decided to do something big to improve his ability!
"This doesn't seem right?"
Xiao-Xiaojian sighed.
"I think it's quite good."
Lu Ming sounded very sincere.
Right now, he was placing a bet in a casino. The content was: Would Jiang Feng succeed in his 95th assassination attempt tonight …
Xiao-Xiaojian felt that this was not right.
Jiang Feng was so pitiful. He was in dire straits every day and you actually relied on this to make a profit?
Where was your empathy?
"This is called trusting Old Jiang."
Lu Ming's expression was solemn. "This is because I believe that Old Jiang will not fail! I believe in his ability! This is trust! On the contrary, you … How dare you look down on him?! "
“???”
Xiao-Xiaojian had a look of shock. Was this how he understood it?
On the other side …
Lu Ming had already placed the light ball that he had just obtained.
"Shadow light ball, worth 100 Shadow Coins. Which side do you want to bet on?"
"The assassination failed."
"Okay."
…
Moments later …
The assassination had officially begun.
Of course.
There was a grand introduction of the opponents who would assassinate Old Jiang — Seven Fiends.
This was an assassin organization!
They had been famous for a long time.
The most amazing thing about them was that every time they made a move, they would have a well-planned opportunity. Once someone failed, they would immediately send a stronger person to kill him a second time!
The third time!
The fourth time!
All the way until the seventh assassination attempt was completed!
So far, there were very few failures.
There was no one who could withstand seven increasingly powerful assassinations!
And now …
After the price was raised, they finally accepted the order. Furthermore, the first assassination was a Six Stars! As such, the odds of Jiang Feng winning this time were very high!
"This is a Six Stars … Moreover, he is a Six Stars with a certain level of assassination experience!"
"I don't think Jiang Feng will win."
"That's right. In the past, he had Four Stars and Five Stars. But now, Six Stars … Tsk tsk."
"So what if he escapes? Seven Kills … "
"That's true."
"I reckon this guy is going to die."
There was a lot of discussion.
"Are you sure you don't want to contact Jiang Feng?"
Xiao-Xiaojian lamented helplessly.
"I trust him."
Lu Ming's expression was indifferent.
Of course.
More importantly, he remembered that a certain big shot had once said that Jiang Feng had killed a six-star cultivator a long, long time ago …
Hehe.
What about now?
Old Jiang probably had more secrets than he had imagined, right?
…
After a long time …
There were fewer shadows in the World of Darkness and Shadows. Only the casino was very lively. The shadows were waiting excitedly for the results of the Seven Kills assassination!
Moments later.
The list of assassination missions was updated.
— —
Jiang Feng, 500 Shadow Coins (Warning: This mission has failed 95 times. The 96th attempt is in progress …)
— —
Bang!
The entire place was in an uproar.
People couldn't help but sigh with the essence of language and words.
"He actually failed?!"
"How is that possible?!"
"This guy can't even withstand a Six Stars?"
Everyone was shocked.
Six Stars!
This was already a new milestone in combat ability. They did not expect that the assassination would actually fail! Who the hell was this Jiang Feng guy?
No one knew!
"Hehe."
Lu Ming smiled as he looked at the wails in the casino.
Well …
He had earned a lot of money.
He went next door to purchase a large amount of the purest and refined Shadow Power. He gave it to Xiao-Xiaojian and told it to start cultivating 24 hours a day.
Afterward …
He bet a large amount of money on the second round of Seven Kills.
This time, the Assassin was an Intermediate Six Stars!
According to Seven Kills' assessment of Jiang Feng's ability, the Beginner Six Stars only lost by a small margin. Therefore, they only sent an Intermediate Six Stars!
Six Stars. In this realm, every small increase in level was a huge boost!
Intermediate Six Stars was enough.
However …
Fifteen minutes later, there were wails in the casino again.
— —
Jiang Feng, 500 Shadow Coins (Warning: This mission has failed 96 times. The 97th attempt is in progress …)
— —
He lost again!
"What the hell is wrong with Jiang Feng?!"
"He has fought twice in a row and still has energy left?"
"I'm not sure …"
Everyone was surprised.
They took a closer look at the information. Jiang Feng was only a Four Stars?
To hell with it!
A Four Stars could defeat a Six Stars?!
After a long while …
It was the third wave of the Seven Kills. This time, it was an intermediate six-star who was very experienced!
"Damn!"
Some people decided to continue betting on Jiang Feng's death.
Some people decided to wait and see. However, no one dared to bet on Jiang Feng's victory. This was because the difference in ability was too huge. Could he really win?
Especially —
A Jiang Feng who had fought twice?!
Hence …
Another large number of people bet on his defeat.
Moments later.
There were wails in the casino again.
The fourth round, Advanced Six Stars!
Defeat!
The fifth round, Advanced Six Stars Five-Star Assassin!
Defeat!
The sixth round, Six Stars Peak!
Yes.
Seven Kills finally decided to send a Six Stars Peak, a very experienced Assassin. However, to everyone's horror, the assassination still failed …
???
Everyone was dumbstruck.
To hell with it.
What was going on with Jiang Feng?
Every time Seven Kills sent an Assassin, the Assassin would be greatly improved. Yet, the assassination still failed? Even if it was a peak Six Stars Peak?!
"There is something wrong with this person!"
"Is there a seven-star big shot helping him secretly?"
"That is possible."
People finally realized some problems.
This Jiang Feng …
He was very strange!
Hence …
In the seventh round, the final battle of Seven Kills, they decided to send their strongest person, a seven-star super big shot!
He was also a peak Six Stars Peak!
His combat ability far surpassed the previous one!
However …
This time, everyone learned their lesson.
Previously, he could not defeat Jiang Feng when he was a beginner Six Stars Peak Six Stars Peak. On what basis could he defeat him when he was also a Six Stars Peak?
Hence …
Everyone bet on Jiang Feng's victory.
This time …
Jiang Feng's success rate was very low.
"It seems that there is no more money to be made."
Lu Ming felt a little regretful.
Previously, these people believed in the so-called Seven Kills Organization. That was why they kept betting on Jiang Feng's defeat. This was the seventh time for Seven Kills and there was no seven-star …
Well …
It seemed that there was really no other way.
As for the so-called seven-star … Wasn't that still a peak Six Stars Peak?
However …
It did not matter.
He would earn as much as he could.
Hence …
Lu Ming was prepared to bet all the money he had earned in the previous rounds. However, just as he was about to place his bet, a black figure swept past him and threw a large number of Shadow Coins without any hesitation.
He was betting on Jiang Feng's death!
???
Lu Ming widened his eyes.
"There are still fools who bet on Jiang Feng's death at this time?"
Xiao-Xiaojian gloated.
These people were really stubborn.
"Something is not right."
Lu Ming's expression was grave.
He might not know the others, but this person …
He had been staring at him!
Why?
This guy had bet on Jiang Feng's victory for the previous six rounds!
It could be said that there were less than five people who bet on Jiang Feng's victory. Like Lu Ming, there were only two of them who had bet on Jiang Feng's victory for a total of six times!
Therefore …
Lu Ming had been staring at that guy!
Moreover, the strangest thing was that this guy would leave after placing his bet and would only return after a while. Therefore, he did not notice Lu Ming who had been following him!
This guy …
Lu Ming furrowed his brows tightly. Could he be a big shot who had the ability to make deductions?
Or perhaps …
Lu Ming widened his eyes and looked at the figure that drifted away. He was silent for a long time. In the end, he placed all his bets when the time was up.
He bet on Jiang Feng's death.
???
Xiao-Xiaojian was shocked.
"Are you crazy?!"
Xiao-Xiaojian was dumbstruck.
What was going on?
If you thought that Jiang Feng could survive, wouldn't all the bets that you placed in be gone? If you thought that Jiang Feng could not win … Shouldn't you tell Jiang Feng now?
He was Xiao Bai's father!
"Lu Ming …"
Xiao-Xiaojian was startled.
Could it be that Lu Ming was possessed by a demon …
"Shut up!"
Lu Ming only looked at the screen of the Assassination menu.
One hour.
Two hours.
…
Shush!
The contents on the screen suddenly changed.
— —
Jiang Feng, 1000 Shadow Coins (The 101st execution was completed and he was killed.)
— —
Jiang Feng, dead!
Wow — —
There was a sudden uproar in the gambling den.
Dead?!
Jiang Feng was actually dead?!
How could that be possible?!
Although they did not know Jiang Feng, he had won six times in a row. He even defeated peak Six Stars. How could he suddenly lose?!
And right then …
Seven Kills announced the results!
First, he introduced how powerful their seven-star quasi was. He was far more powerful than ordinary peak Six Stars. He also said that when that person arrived, Jiang Feng, who had fought six times in a row, was already an arrow at the end of its flight …
Therefore …
He would die.
"Crap! I can't believe this! "
"Previously, I thought that Jiang Feng would not make it. He kept winning six times in a row! Finally, when I decided to believe that he was amazing, he actually died! "
"What a waste of emotions!"
"My Shadow Coins …"
People wailed incessantly.
Dialog boxes flashed all over the casino.
"This is crazy!"
"Everyone is crazy!"
Xiao-Xiaojian's heart jumped wildly.
Jiang Feng was dead!
This was a huge matter!
Xiao Bai …
Damn it!
What about my Xiao Bai?
Ahhhh …
When he saw Xiao Bai later, he had to ask Xiao Bai who it was going to follow if Xiao Bai and Lu Ming were to part ways.
W-what if Xiao Bai and Lu Ming were to be together?
Right?
Look, this was what Xiao-Xiaolan was thinking!
"Lu Ming …
"How am I going to explain this to Xiao Bai?"
Xiao-Xiaojian was vexed.
However …
Lu Ming ignored it. He did not even take the large sum of Shadow Coins that he had just won. Instead, he watched as the figure entered the casino until the figure who bet on Jiang Feng stepped into the casino and collected his reward.
"Do you see that figure?"
Lu Ming suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
Xiao-Xiaojian swept its gaze across the figure who collected a large sum of Shadow Coins.
What was the matter?
Could it be that this guy was a big shot who could deduce the future? Lu Ming recognized him. That was why he bet with him? But wasn't it better to save Jiang Feng?
"Take a closer look."
Lu Ming sighed. "Use your intuition to your advantage."
"Oh."
Xiao-Xiaojian looked confused.
Its keen consciousness swept across the figure that was leaving …
Swept across …
Eh?
Why did he look familiar?
Wait a minute …
Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly came to its senses.
Crap!
Isn't that Jiang Feng?!
