Chapter 9 Assassination

After leaving Chu Sheng and the others, Shen Yi walked towards the city alone.

Walking on the streets of Central City, you can see people in strange armor walking around everywhere.

They look like ancient people living in modern society, but they don't attract anyone's attention.

The Arend Empire is said to be a continent of technology, but in fact it is also a parallel of magic and martial arts. Although the power of light and dark elements has decayed, it has not yet reached the point where it is completely impossible to cultivate. It is precisely because of this that there are very special occupations such as gunners and mechanics. . On the one hand, they have strong physical abilities, and on the other hand, they have powerful technological weapons. Only by combining the two can they rule the roost alongside the other two continents.

The power of science and technology and the power of magic have reached a harmonious unity at this moment. Because the Arendre Empire advocates gold, most of the buildings in the whole country are resplendent and magnificent. The gorgeous appearance and the colorful energy armor make this society It looks glorious, at least visually it feels like being in heaven.

According to Shen Yi and his team's design, the Arendre Empire itself is a society with abnormal development of science and technology. On the one hand, this country has developed high-tech products such as lightsabers, mechas, flying cars, and eternal hearts, and is also extremely developed in terms of material life. But on the other hand, their aerospace capabilities are extremely poor, and they only have the most common level of civil aviation and fighter jets.

For Shen Yi and the others, this continent provided Shen Yi and the others with powerful ground armed forces from the very beginning, but Shen Yi didn't need it in terms of space military.

Because of this, even in this modern metropolis with advanced technology, high-rise buildings, and steel and concrete, warriors in armor and holding ancient knives and guns can be found everywhere.

Most of these warriors are mercenaries of the bounty guild, mainly engaged in some hunting work.

That's right, just like the content in games and novels, there are various guild organizations in this world, and players obtain tasks through these guild organizations.

Although the Arendt Empire is a continent of science and technology, there are still many mysterious monuments left over from ancient times in various parts of this continent, where various magical and extraordinary lives live, and some places are even restricted to life.

Of course, in the game, these places are usually called dungeons and fields.

Whether it is the Continent of Science and Technology, the Continent of Xianxia, ​​or the Continent of Gods and Demons, there are similar places. Although humans claim to dominate the world, if the area of ​​​​cities and reclaimed territories is used as the calculation, the actual territory occupied is less than ten percent of the entire world. one.

This land is still a world where human beings coexist with other powerful beings, and mercenaries are the profession for survival, and it is also the way for players to obtain quests, and it is also the main channel for adventurers to obtain quests.

However, it is very difficult to complete the task requirements only by the bounty guild - the tasks issued by the bounty guild are settled in cash, and the exchange ratio of 100 to 1 makes each adventurer have to earn 5.4 million. In order to meet the mission requirements of 54,000 points.

You can fully imagine the expression on the employer's face when the mercenaries of the Blackwater Company said, "Each person's employment price is 5.4 million, and the working hours are up to one month."

What Chu Sheng said is correct, Shen Yi's design can be said to be all kinds of cheating.

Adventurers are used to daily income, and few people will associate blood points with daily income.

When the two are really put together, they will feel more intuitively that although the job of an adventurer is dangerous, the reward is really not low.

This will help them change their impression of the city, so Shen Yi is determined that the Supreme Council will keep this part unchanged.

In addition to bounty tasks, there are two ways to get points, that is, working part-time and killing monsters to get materials for sale, but these two methods are also obtained in cash and exchanged to get points.

The only way to directly get points is from various hidden missions, but it is not easy to find the person who issued the mission.

Finally, there are team missions.

The so-called faction missions are all kinds of espionage intelligence and assassination missions for the other two factions issued by the imperial government.

This task can also give a small cash reward, but the more important thing is the contribution points required by the main task 2.

Contribution points are reflected in the form of merit in each continent. In addition to system requirements, they also have a very unique role. They can be used to exchange for various equipment, skills, promotion positions, and privileges.

What Shen Yi is now going to is the city hall of the central city where the faction missions are issued - for him, the faction missions are what he cares about, as for the bloody point... that thing was not considered from the very beginning.

The task release point of the city hall camp is open. Due to the relationship between modernization, the spacious and bright hall, the clean and clean floor tiles, and the courteous service personnel are somewhat similar to a modern large-scale service structure. The only disharmony is probably Those warriors wearing mechs and holding various guns and swords came and went in the hall.

In the very center of the hall is a huge electronic screen, on which are the country's faction missions for the day.

However, these faction missions cannot be accepted as soon as they come up, and the faction must reach 100 points of prestige.

When an adventurer enters, the faction prestige is zero, so to reach 100 prestige, one must first go to the small hall next to him to accept some prestige tasks. Quite troublesome, usually at least three days to do.

The higher the faction's reputation, the more advanced faction missions you can access, and the more contribution points you can get.

For adventurers, the battle time required to obtain 10 contribution points and 1 contribution point may be about the same, but the time spent running back and forth is completely different, so unless the task is out of reach, the more advanced the task, the better. .

After arriving at the city hall, Shen Yi didn't go to the small hall, but took a free newspaper, sat near the gate, and read the newspaper on a seat under a marble pillar.

Time passed quietly by minute by minute, and 20 minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

Finally, Shen Yi raised his head and looked outside the door.

Three flying cars were parked outside the gate of the city hall, and a man in a red cloak and a golden mecha was getting out of the car.

"It's finally here..." Shen Yi whispered, and put down the newspaper.

This man is Atkins, a major general of the Arendre Empire. He is an out-and-out hawk, and strongly advocates using more powerful means of force to deal with the other two camps. Therefore, although his status is not at the top, his popularity among the people is not small-radical speech is always easier to win popular support.

Because of this, whenever he comes to the city hall, it means that there will be some relatively radical missions released, such as hunting down a big man in the land of gods and demons, and getting a lot of rewards.

Shen Yi came here today for him, but not to take the task from him, but to save people. Soon there will be an assassination incident against Atkins here-this major general who often issues assassination orders is also a frequent visitor on the other two continental reward orders.

Rescuing a major general is the fastest way to gain reputation. Not only can he skip the previous tedious tasks to gain a lot of reputation, but he can even directly gain contribution points and the friendship of the major general—no matter what age, saving him is a must. It is the task with the lowest cost and the highest return.

The rewards for assassinating ten generals may not be as good as the rewards for saving one general.

If it wasn't for the title restriction, the emperor wouldn't be able to appear here, and Shen Yi wanted to save Emperor Aaron's life.

Atkins had already entered the hall, and he only brought four gold-armored guards behind him. Perhaps in his opinion, there was no need to bring more bodyguards in this place where the central city masters gathered.

However, just as he stepped into the hall, the two men in the hall suddenly turned around.

After all, Atkins was also a seasoned general. He sensed the danger the moment the two men turned around, and stopped suddenly.

The two men raised their hands and hit two small golden hammers. The small hammers pulled out a howling light and shadow in the air, and smashed Atkins hard.

"Hammer of Blessing?" Atkins called out instinctively. Before he could dodge in time, he lifted his hands up suddenly. A large amount of energy light flashed from the mecha on his body, and the energy shield completely covered him.

Two small golden hammers whizzed forward and hit Atkins' mecha one after another. The first blow completely shattered the energy shield, and the second hit hit Atkins' mecha. Also cracked in pieces.

The four gold-armored guards behind Atkins rushed forward at the same time. At this moment, a light curtain suddenly lit up in the crowd. Atkins was shocked when he saw this, and shouted: "Quick back!"

boom!

A huge shock wave rose from the ground, and the four guards were thrown into the air at the same time.

Atkins retreated a step too early, and finally he was not hit head-on by the shock wave, but the aftermath still caused him to retreat again and again. Pao pointed to a corner in the distance: "Come out!"

boom!

The concentrated cannon had fired a beam of light, and a priest who was hidden in the crowd was directly blasted out by his cannonball.

However, at the same time that Atkins hit the target, a figure suddenly appeared behind Atkins. It was an assassin covered in black cloth, holding a sharp blade and slashing at Atkins' back, which was no longer protected by the mecha.

Atkins also reacted quickly, with the laser sword in his left hand impressively, he was blocking the assassin's sneak attack, and at the same time, his body turned around suddenly, and he elbowed the assassin, roaring: "Progress strike!"

Hitting the assassin's throat with an elbow, actually shattered the assassin's Adam's apple with one blow, but this blow also made his body completely lose balance. At this moment, another phantom suddenly appeared, descending from the sky, facing Ah Another blow from Tekins.

This stabbing sword is so powerful, its radiance is overwhelming, its momentum is strong, its power is strong, even more powerful than the previous hammer of blessing.

Atkins immediately knew something was wrong, the assassin had obviously prepared everything, and the blow at this moment was the real fatal blow. He could no longer dodge this shocking stab, and despair appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared, pushed Atkins away, and the blood-colored long sword turned back, colliding with the shocking sword, causing a commotion on the flat ground with a bang.

Shen Yi let out a muffled snort, but he spit out blood and flew out.

The assassin's sword light soared, and he wanted to chase Atkins again, but he missed the best time, and there was no chance to kill again. Atkins' lightsaber swung back suddenly, blocking the sword, and at the same time, the concentrated energy cannon in his right hand fired again. Aim at the assassin.

The assassin obviously knew how powerful the gun was, so he turned around abruptly, avoiding the muzzle of the gun, and at the same time shot a black light at Atkins.

The four gold-armored guards who were blown away happened to rush forward at this moment, and one of them flew forward to block the blow. Atkins' concentrated energy cannon had been launched with a bang, and the assassin returned his sword to block, and the thick beam of light Hit on the long sword, it was shocking that the assassin flew back.

At this time, the mercenaries in the hall and the guards of the city hall rushed out one after another, and a sharp alarm sounded in the hall. The two assassins who threw the hammer were immediately surrounded, and it seemed that they would not last long.

Knowing that he had lost the chance to assassinate Atkins, the last assassin angrily glanced at Shen Yi who was lying on the ground, thinking that if this bastard hadn't intervened, the mission would have been completed, and he snorted angrily. : "You're lucky!" The figure has disappeared.

"Master Atkins, are you alright?" Seeing the assassin fleeing, a group of mercenaries surrounded him one after another, flattering Atkins.

A trace of blood gushed out from the corner of Atkins' mouth. Although he was powerful, he was still not as powerful as a cultivator from the Gods and Demons Continent. The two blessed hammers just now broke his energy shield and mecha. , also caused some hidden injuries to him.

"Master Atkins, you are injured, come quickly!"

"I'm fine, let's look at that person first." Atkins pointed to Shen Yi who was still lying unconscious on the ground and said impatiently: "If it wasn't for him just now, I would have died."

A gold-armored guard rushed over to pick up Shen Yi. As the major general's guards, if Atkins was assassinated, they would not have any good results, so the guards were also extremely grateful to Shen Yi.

After checking Shen Yi's injuries, the guard heaved a sigh of relief and turned around: "There is no direct injury, maybe he was stunned, and his life should not be in danger!"

"Hmph, Carmela's Holy Sword and Phantom Strike are terrifying. Even I can't stop it. This person was just stunned, and his strength should be pretty good. It is also loyal and brave to save me regardless of his own safety. Zhishi...send him to the hospital, pass my order, must give him the highest treatment, treat him well with the best medicine, and let me know when he recovers, and I will thank him very much!"

"Yes, General!" The guard replied respectfully.

A group of adventurers all showed envy on their faces, wondering why this kind of credit didn't fall to me. This kid is bound to die in a catastrophe, so he must have a blessing in the future.
