Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 326 AKA Winning Gang
The entire villa area was completely silent.

What were the words Wu Wang said when he stood up?

The bounty hunters were initially confused, but then they sensed someone approaching them.

Of course, usually when they discover it...

It's a similar situation to the one involving the muscular guy.

Gun barrels were already pressed against the backs of the heads of these bounty hunters hiding in the shadows.

It's worth noting that the entry qualification for the [Relic Battle] was a bronze token.

There is a limit to the number of slots that can be issued for this.

If you were to say that within formal organizations like the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs and the Tower of Order, there is still fair competition in the allocation of quotas...

That's for free players.

They truly fought their way out through sheer strength.

After all, the bronze token in your hand is only useful before you actually enter the dungeon.

Those might not even be considered yours.

Who knows, some free player who knows you possess a Bronze Token might secretly come and try to steal your gold.

At that time, they were basically no different from those who had bounties on their heads.

Although in the end, the members of the Tarot Club did not participate in the "Relics Battle".

This resulted in a far greater number of bronze tokens falling into the hands of free players than in previous years.

But those who can stand smiling at the end must have some real skills.

Either they have an exceptional ability to hide.

Either they are so powerful that their fame spreads far and wide.

This would deter others from trying to steal his bronze token, even if they knew he possessed it.

Only a very few bronze tokens could possibly be obtained through sheer luck.

But such a person had already met a tragic end at the hands of High Priestess Lilith of Pain long before encountering Wu Wang in the dungeon.

At least, those players who signed contracts on the Mary.

Wu Wang dares to guarantee that the quality is top-notch.

Otherwise, where would they get so many [Epic] level items to scam themselves out of?

Among these people, quite a few players were already in the bounty hunter business.

Now they're using their core strengths to deal with their competitors.

In short, you'll be facing bounty hunters of varying skill levels.

The group of people summoned by Wu Wang completely overwhelmed them in every aspect.

"Behave yourself! Put your hands up, don't let me see you putting your hands inside the [backpack]!"

"Brother, I need to scratch an itch."

"Shut up! Who knows what kind of prop you might pull out from your crotch!"

"Who the hell would hide props there?!"

"I have a self-destruct device in my crotch."

"..."

Okay, you're awesome, I admit defeat.

Amidst a chorus of sighs and lamentations.

Xie Zhi and Xiao Xiao saw various places where they could hide not far from the villa area.

One player after another began to emerge.

Without exception, they were all under strict supervision by other players.

They were afraid that these bounty hunters might react too aggressively.

Just then, Wu Wang leaned over.

She jogged over to the Xie Zhi and whispered a few words to him.

After hearing this, the Xie Zhi's expression became somewhat unnatural.

A slightly awkward expression appeared on the face of this grown man.

With a twitch at the corner of her mouth, she asked in a low voice, "Do I really have to go and tell them?"

"I feel like you're better suited for this kind of thing, aren't you?"

However, his words were met with opposition from Wu Wang.

Shaking his head, he said, "No, no, Brother Xie, you really have to do this. After all, you are Xie Zhi, the former 'Judge Bao of the Capital' of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs! How can I, an unknown player, compare to your prestigious reputation?"

This name caused Xie Zhi even more trouble.

He first looked down at his own cringe-worthy outfit.

They then glanced at the players walking towards them.

While struggling internally, he tried to salvage the situation by saying, "But I'm not here to help you in the name of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs. If I use the Bureau's name, wouldn't I be no different from those bullies who rely on their power?"

Now Wu Wang has come to a deeper understanding of why the Wine Taoist and the [Verification Department] sent the Xie Zhi to the mortal world to temper his heart.

The Xie Zhi is far too serious.

In his eyes, the world is black and white.

There is no such thing as turning a blind eye.

One is one, two is two.

Perhaps in that small place like Mingyang City, his strength is enough to make all the problems he encounters clear and distinct.

But when he enters unfamiliar territory, or when his status and position begin to rise.

The problem we encountered was not downwards, but upwards.

When facing enemies whose status and identity far surpass his own.

This seriousness, on the contrary, becomes an obstacle for him.

The Verification Department wants to teach the Xie Zhi (a mythical creature) to be more flexible.

It's not about blindly spreading "justice" everywhere.

Rather, it is about ensuring that his sense of justice is delivered in an effective and appropriate manner.

So Wu Wang sneered, "That's right, I know you're not here to help as part of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs."

"But do these people know that too?"

"Your reputation is so prestigious, but even if you said it yourself, they wouldn't believe you."

“In the eyes of these people, you, Xie Zhi, represent the Bureau of Strange Affairs.”

After saying that, Wu Wang patted Xie Zhi on the shoulder.

He then took out a thick stack of red banknotes from his backpack and handed them to him.

He said with a grin, "Go ahead, it's your turn to shine."

Feel the heavy weight in your hands.

The Xie Zhi was also filled with helplessness.

At this point, most of the bounty hunters had already been subdued and dragged out by the group of high-level free players summoned by Wu Wang.

There are quite a few of them, about ten or so in total.

You should know that advanced players are not as common as cabbages.

These dozen or so bounty hunters weren't all from Beijing.

They traveled overnight to kill him.

If this incident weren't specifically targeting Wu Wang, most players would probably feel numb and uneasy in this situation.

Just as Yunze said before.

So many high-level, independent players gathered together.

If someone were truly determined to cause trouble, it would be a devastating disaster for any city.

There must be a very small number of them who are even more powerful.

The bounty hunters who chose to sit back and watch the fight remain hidden in the shadows and have not yet revealed themselves.

These bounty hunters are the real threat.

Let's just consider it for the sake of maintaining social order in the capital.

The Xie Zhi sighed and stepped forward.

They arrived in front of the first bounty hunter, whose face clearly showed his dissatisfaction.

The other person was dressed rather flamboyantly, not at all like an assassin.

Instead, he seems more like a rich second-generation who already lives in a villa area.

He was even hiding on the balcony of the villa next door when he was captured.

The villa owner pretends to be exercising in the morning.

"What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy before?!"

"Don't think you can bully us just because you outnumber us!"

"You think we can't see the situation clearly? You don't dare to really go all out!"

"We're only cooperating with you now to avoid a complete breakdown in relations, so don't push your luck!"

After saying that, he spat at the feet of the Xie Zhi.

These words also made the bounty hunters who were caught stand up straight.

Indeed, they have now been forced into the open by the circumstances.

The assassination attempt has clearly failed.

However, this does not mean that they can let the other party manipulate them at will.

If Wu Wang's group of players really intended to kill them...

The commotion caused by so many bounty hunters making a desperate last stand is absolutely terrifying.

At that point, this matter will no longer be a simple assassination bounty.

As the hosts of the capital, the Bureau of Strange Events and the Tarot Society will likely have to come and demand an explanation.

Everyone looked at each other.

Although they all looked disdainful, they actually didn't want to offend the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

After all, it's just fulfilling the contractual agreement; there's no need to risk your life.

Just as the bounty hunter was about to spout his nonsense...

Suddenly, a stack of red banknotes was stuffed into his hand.

Before the guy could even react...

Then they saw the eye-catching figure of the Xie Zhi taking turns stuffing money into the hands of the bounty hunters.

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

What the hell does this mean?
Are you trying to humiliate us with money?
We're players, after all!

Even if they're there for the bounty, the bounty includes powerful items and skills.

Who the hell is actually short of money?!
Just as they thought this was a humiliating way of doing things and were about to continue their angry tirade,

The Xie Zhi spoke.

"Ahem, everyone, please allow me to say something."

"People here may not recognize my face, but they should have heard my name to some extent."

"My name is Xie Zhi, Xie Zhi of the Bureau of Strange Affairs."

Upon hearing this, the bounty hunters who were about to hurl insults swallowed their own words.

Yes, perhaps many people have never seen a Xie Zhi.

But to say that advanced players have never heard of the name Xie Zhi.

I doubt there are many left.

But... this guy is wearing such an eye-catching women's outfit that he looks like a female bodybuilder.

Is it really a Xie Zhi? I'm a little skeptical!

Ignore their strange looks.

The Xie Zhi continued speaking to itself, "I can understand that you've all come for the bounty."

"Please understand, I don't want to make things difficult for you, but of course I won't put you in a deadly situation."

“We don’t have any deep-seated hatred for each other, right? You don’t want to fall out with the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.”

His expression became increasingly natural.

He seemed to understand Wu Wang's reasoning in asking him to step forward.

Walk over to the first bounty hunter who accepted the money.

He patted the other person on the shoulder like a good buddy.

He said with a smile, "This money...it doesn't mean anything by it."

"You must all be tired from traveling all night to the capital. Consider this a reward for your travel expenses and hard work. Stay in the capital tonight and rest. Go get a foot massage or something to relax tonight."

After saying that, he nudged the other person's arm.

Pointing at Wu Wang, he said irritably, "My young brother here is indeed a bit arrogant, but he's young after all, so please be understanding."

"The Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs will soon have further actions regarding the [Public Beta]." "This young man is also part of the operation; if you all want to be the first to know about changes in the situation within the country..."

"Instead of going around looking for information brokers to trade with, it's better to stay and find out more up close."

"It's not easy for so many players to get together, how about we treat this as a group tour to the capital?"

"Of course, we will cover all the expenses of those who stay in the capital."

After the Xie Zhi finished speaking...

The garden outside the villa was also completely silent.

Each bounty hunter exchanged glances and signals.

They wanted to work with their companions to determine whether Xie Zhi's words were true or false.

Let alone those bounty hunters.

Even the group of high-level free players that Wu Wang summoned were somewhat confused.

What is going on?
This was the first time they had ever seen such a method of dealing with assassination.

Not only are they not seeking revenge, but they're also planning to treat everyone to a trip to Beijing?

Click——

Just then, a strange noise came from the treetops.

Looking at it at first glance is like looking through a raging fire, distorting your vision.

Or is it some kind of strange spatial fluctuation?

Everyone became alert and turned their attention to that direction.

A figure appeared out of thin air and leaped down from the top of a tree.

After landing smoothly, he sighed and said, "You make sense. I'll stay."

He then greeted Xie Zhi with a smile: "Long time no see, Xie Zhi, welcome back to the capital."

After seeing this person's appearance.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Xie Zhi.

The other party's name is 【行天下】.

He is a local bounty hunter in Beijing.

He is a star among bounty hunters.

Because he successfully hunted down a player who was ranked 11th on the bounty list.

It can be said that he became famous in one battle.

He had a record of being registered with the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

Occasionally, I also take on missions from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

They are considered to be on the lawful side among free players.

Back when Xie Zhi was still in the capital, he had cooperated with the other party several times.

That's why the other party was able to recognize the Xie Zhi despite its abstract appearance.

That's why I'm coming out now.

Besides the fact that Wu Wang was surrounded by too many high-level players, and that a successful assassination attempt would cause too much of a commotion.

It was also out of respect for the Xie Zhi that they didn't want to put the other party in a difficult position.

【行天下】's words sent shivers down the spines of the other bounty hunters.

Because before he showed up.

No one noticed that he was hiding at such close range.

in a sense.

He could have easily continued to hide.

Once everyone has discussed the matter and lowered their guard, launch a surprise attack on Wu Wang or leave quietly.

However, such people choose to show themselves.

So how can those who have already been caught still have the nerve to talk about assassination and winning the bounty?

"Fine, fine, I admit defeat. I definitely can't kill him in front of so many people."

"I'll shamelessly accept this money."

"Besides, the Xie Zhi has already made such a promise, wouldn't it be too disrespectful of us to hesitate?"

"Count me in too, I'll stay in the capital and keep you guys company."

"Let me make this clear first, I'm really going to get a foot massage tonight, and it's going to be meat-themed. Can that be reimbursed?"

The bounty hunter standing next to the Xie Zhi could only manage a helpless smile.

Put the cash in your hand into your backpack.

He shrugged to indicate that he had given up on assassinating Wu Wang.

Before the Xie Zhi could even speak...

Xiao Xiao took a step forward.

With a confident smile on his face, he nodded and said, "Reimbursement is possible, everything is reimbursable."

"Any problem that can be solved with money isn't a problem!"

At this moment, she radiated the glory of the wicked capitalist.

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about money.

All the people present combined don't even equal the number of people she alone.

All beginnings are hard.

In this already deadlocked situation, once someone sets a precedent...

Then more people will choose to follow the crowd.

As a result, one by one, the bounty hunters chose to surrender.

In addition to [Xing Tianxia], two or three other bounty hunters who had been hiding and had not been discovered also showed up.

They are all smart people.

The situation became clear very quickly.

Usually, the bounty targets only one person.

If the kill is successful, then kill him.

Even if I fail, all I need to do is save my life and run away.

As long as you don't cause any major disturbance in the city.

The authorities also turned a blind eye to this situation.

But this one called "Yan Shuangying" is clearly different.

He can gather so many high-level players together.

To be honest, even if you do nothing, you will still quickly attract the attention of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

Right under their noses, and in the sensitive geographical location of the capital.

Do you think we're the only ones who want to cause trouble?

They weren't foolish enough to think the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs would completely ignore the current situation.

Then it would be better to step forward and show that you have no malicious intent.

Just like Xie Zhi said—let's just take this as a chance to find out the next move of the Bureau of Strange Affairs.

Moreover, all expenses were covered by someone else.

why not?

In a very short time.

Everyone turned from enemies to friends.

Wu Wang also jokingly leaned closer to Xie Zhi and said, "See? I told you, your reputation is truly impressive!"

The Xie Zhi did not provide further comment on this.

He simply lowered his head, lost in thought.

He suddenly realized that his outfit wasn't so garish anymore.

So, this is another way to solve the problem?

"OK, OK, we plan to go to the city center next."

"Meeting with some prominent figures in society to discuss matters is also part of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs' operations."

"I certainly can't reveal the specifics directly; you can just follow along and make your own inferences, okay?"

After making fun of the Xie Zhi.

Wu Wang raised his head and shouted to all the players.

Everyone jokingly said they would follow the boss.

They also wanted to see how the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs would proceed.

The reason for using this method to solve the problem.

Of course, it wasn't just Wu Wang who wanted to deal with the assassination attempts of bounty hunters.

To be honest, he didn't really care about assassination at all.

After all, he is immortal.

Wu Wang now wants to take advantage of this opportunity for a large number of high-level players to gather offline.

They used their "popularity" to set a trap for Ethan.

This time, it's my turn to be the spider that lays the web!

Of course, there's the funding for entertaining these free-to-play players.

It's definitely Xiaoxiao who will pay.

With this heiress from the China Overseas Group in charge, things are looking up.

Arranging various occasions in the capital was naturally a breeze.

So, an hour later...

One of the most bustling areas in the city center.

Thirty or forty free-roaming players, rarely seen on ordinary days, chatted as they walked forward, resembling a gangster parade through the streets.

Wu Wang walked at the front of them, giving off a sense of déjà vu as the gang leader in the movie "Young and Dangerous".

At that moment, it was as if Jordan Chan's rendition of "A Hero in Troubled Times" was playing in my ears.

"Dominating the world, I roam freely, admired by all!"

"Dominating the world, I have absolutely no need to look back!"

"A complete upheaval~ I~ will~ write~ my own law~"

"That fierce wolf with its gleaming eyes!"

Just when Wu Wang was feeling good about himself.

【Travel the World】Take a step forward.

He patted him on the shoulder awkwardly and said, "Dude, could you turn off your phone's music? We're not really gangsters."

No, it's not as if!

"A Hero in Troubled Times" is truly playing in my ears!

Although the group knew that getting together would definitely attract the attention of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

But this isn't the way you're trying to get attention!

Now, passersby look at us with disdain!
【Travel the World】I feel like I've never been so embarrassed in my entire life.

But having already made those remarks, he was curious about how things would unfold.

It's now difficult to extricate oneself from this situation.

There was nothing I could do but let this guy play music the whole way.

I couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward to stop them.

Compared to the awkward situation faced by [Travel the World]...

The Xie Zhi side was truly overwhelmed with work.

His friend list and phone were being bombarded with calls.

Apart from the wine connoisseur, who was his direct superior.

Among them were special operations team leaders, heads of the abnormal situation handling department at the Beijing headquarters, and even deputy directors of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

These high-ranking officials in Beijing were desperate to contact him.

You left a note at home saying you were going out for a while.

I thought you were going to defuse a bomb.

Unexpectedly, they brought us back a nuclear bomb in the blink of an eye?
And they're even parading around the streets with nuclear weapons?
Holy crap! Xie Zhi, are you crazy?!
This is just great.

The capital city probably needs to enter a state of war preparedness ahead of schedule.

The culprit behind all this was Wu Wang.

He's now grinning as he takes out his phone to turn off the music for "A Hero in Troubled Times"...
