Chapter 214 Capturing Haki's Leg

A weak response came from the other end of the phone:

"What's wrong, Brother Ji?"

Ji Yi: "You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong? You fucking update? It's been so many days, and you've only written this much?"

The chicken leg seemed to know it was in the wrong: "Hey, I was just meeting someone I met online."

"Pah! I can't even be bothered to talk about your thoughts. Just wait, I'll grab you right now!"

With a beep, the call ended, and Ji Yi immediately contacted the driver.

I originally planned to contact Gu Hong first, but he left me a message beforehand saying that he had a trial dungeon to fight and might disappear for a long time, so I should go to the driver if I needed anything.

The term "trial dungeon" was unfamiliar to Ji Yi, but she didn't have time to delve into its principles right now; she was in a hurry to find chicken legs.

What angered Ji Yi was not just the fact that Chicken Leg was neglecting to update his book. Of course, that was a large part of it.

On the other hand, there is also the risk that his identity will be exposed and he will be targeted by the headhunting alliance.

Unlike Ji Yi, Chicken Leg's information is not exposed as directly, but it is still not safe. The pen name is the same as the game nickname, so there is too much room for investigation.

That's why Ji Yi took him to the villa so he could write his book in peace.

Although there was a selfish motive involved, namely to replicate the chicken leg's summoning skills, overall, it was ultimately for the safety of the other party.

Chicken Leg has been gone for so many days without reporting it, I almost thought he'd been kidnapped.

Half an hour later, the driver replied:
"We found Chicken Leg's travel records. He bought a ticket to Chiayi City four days ago, along with his hotel booking records, the identity information of his roommate, and his chat history with the woman. We've extracted the key information; take a look."

Holy crap, box.

Ji Yi couldn't help but marvel at the power of the official authorities, especially their ridiculously high efficiency; this was definitely not the first time they had done this.

Looking at the pictures and messages sent, Ji Yi roughly figured out what was going on. In short, it was an online romance meeting in real life.

Ji Yi stroked her chin thoughtfully: "Is online dating reliable?"

After glancing at the information, Ji Yi learned quite a bit, especially that the woman was also a player with the ID "Coconut Jelly".

Judging from the time they added each other as friends, the two seemed to have met in the game, and their acquaintance was very short, almost as soon as they met in real life.

Is this reliable?

No, considering the story of Tang Hulu and Wang Meng, we should leave that question open for now.

These days, the authorities can even access game players' information, which means there are government officials within the cyber police. Is this a recent development?
Perhaps because Chicken Leg is a player, they specifically hired staff, but let's not talk about that for now.

In short, after reviewing the information, Ji Yi roughly understood what was going on.

Then I looked at the woman's photo.

No wonder Haki took so many days off.

Damn, this kid is really enjoying himself.

Damn it, arrest Chicken Leg!

"I have an ominous feeling."

After the call was disconnected, Chicken Leg murmured to himself, gazing at the building outside the hotel window.

"No need for premonitions, I heard it clearly, your Brother Chicken is here to arrest you. Hey, is he your relative? You both have the surname Chicken."

Chicken Leg glanced speechlessly at the woman beside him:
"First of all, my surname is not Ji, and secondly, his surname is Ji. We are completely unrelated."

"Okay, okay, just kidding."

Coconut Jelly rubbed her fluffy hair and picked up her phone to check her QQ book club: "They're all criticizing your short and weak updates. Why haven't you written anything today?"

"No rush, I'm thinking about what's making me feel uneasy."

Chicken Leg put on a serious face and said.

Coconut Jelly pouted. Did Chicken Leg forget about that guy right after he made the call? That tall guy named Ji Yi, who's 1.8 meters tall, kept saying he wanted to come down and be real with him.

The chicken leg's troubles are definitely not about this.

If Brother Ji catches me, the worst that can happen is I'll be locked in a dark room and forced to write for 24 hours straight, and won't get any food until I finish. It's not a big deal.

What bothered him was something else entirely.

But he couldn't remember what it was that made him feel so uncomfortable, even though he had a lot of fun on his dates these past few days.
He scratched his head, unable to think of anything.
"forget about it."

Chicken Leg drew the curtains inside the room.

Upon seeing this, Coconut Jelly's tone became sarcastic: "Why are you drawing the curtains in broad daylight?"

"Nothing, I just want to hug you."

"You better be."

Hagi doesn't have many hobbies, except for reading novels.

Sometimes when people are idle, they can do all sorts of things. Once, he had a sudden inspiration and went to the Hyperdimensional Games to search for the pen names of some famous novel authors.

Of course, most of them can't be found, and even if you happen to find one or two, they are probably just some fans pretending to be fans.

"But no one would imitate a failed author, right?"

Haji looked at the details page of a book on his phone, where the author's name was listed in large characters: "Chicken Leg Immortal Venerable".

Is it a coincidence or luck?

Haji had no idea that there was an author named "Chicken Leg Immortal Venerable".

But that day, while eating at the mall, I overheard a couple at the next table chatting, with the man boasting that he was a well-known author on a certain online platform.

The woman also stated that she was a female streamer and asked to spend 80,000 gold coins to test her skills.

The two chatted and joked with each other, creating a pleasant atmosphere. However, what bothered Hagi was the man's status as a Qidian author.

As if possessed, he made a bold decision on the spot. After quickly finishing his meal, he timed his entry into the game within a hundred meters.

Then he saw that the couple both looked surprised.

Then, I entered the game.

The situation had become quite clear by this point, but he still searched for the ID "Chicken Leg Immortal Venerable".

So, Haji found the game account as well.

The coincidence was so striking, it seemed more like a story from a novel than something that actually happened.

But the truth is right before his eyes: as an unknown member of the Headhunter Alliance, Hagi coincidentally discovered a player's real identity.

In that case, there are many things that can be done. For example, reporting to the organization to receive commendation, etc.
After much deliberation, Haki made an even bolder decision: to conceal the truth and not report it, while privately threatening the other party.

This might be Haki's only chance to turn things around.

As a low-level employee who was not favored by the organization, Haji was completely exploited.

During his early days as a newbie, he was nearly eliminated because he was unfamiliar with the game. After being rescued by members of the Headhunter Alliance, he was deceived and had a tracking chip implanted in his body. His phone was also tapped, which was equivalent to signing a contract of servitude. Now he has become a low-level person who can never turn his life around.

His rank was forever suppressed to a point where he couldn't die, and he could only work like a beast of burden, doing backbreaking labor.

But who would want to live like this forever?

Unlike others, Haki was confident in his own abilities.

Other people at the bottom can't do without the help of the organization, but he is different. If given the opportunity to show his abilities, he is confident that he can reach the level of a high-level player in the game.

For a long time, he kept a low profile, having already planned to remove the chip and escape, becoming an unregistered resident.

The organization's prolonged suppression resulted in his game character developing very poorly, and the risk of death when he went into a dungeon alone was not small.

Now, God has finally given him a chance.

A chance to pull off one job, then quit and regain your freedom.

Just then, something went wrong at the organization's higher levels, and no tasks were assigned for several days.

Let's take a gamble, this is the time!

Isn't wandering the world more romantic than being a beast of burden for a lifetime?

Anyway, I have no ties and I'm capable enough.

At that time, Haji will emerge as a rising star, competing on the same stage with players like Zuiwan Guhong, Yongjiao Wan Erduo Ying, and Schrödinger's Cat.

He even had this crazy idea: to simply stay in the permanent game space and participate in an endless dungeon loop.

All that's needed to support these ideas is a lack of initial funding.

Thinking of this, Hajiji sneered as he began to examine the novel "Chicken Leg Immortal Venerable".

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Understanding the author's character through his books may be more beneficial for your subsequent actions.

then
A few days later, Haki woke up from his bed rubbing his aching head. When he looked at the time, it was already evening.

"Damn, he writes so well, he'll become a master sooner or later. But I guess that's impossible now. After losing all his equipment, he'll probably die in the dungeon."

After staying up for two nights straight to finish reading the book about chicken legs, Haji was finally ready to start his work.

"I had been tracking them for a while and found out their hotel and room number."

As he spoke, Haki picked up his binoculars and looked at the hotel building across the street.

"But these two never go out. What are they doing in their room all day with the curtains drawn?"

Forget it, forget it.

Haki hadn't been waiting idly these past few days; he had come prepared.

He opened the package in the room and took out a heavy handgun and a pack of bullets from the box.

This gun is, of course, a specially made replica of a game product, which ordinary people cannot find. The low-level laborers of the Headhunter Alliance do rough work, so it is not difficult for them to obtain this thing.

"Judging from his personality as portrayed in the novel, women should be his weakness. Using her as a threat makes everything else easier to handle."

"Chicken Leg usually orders takeout at fixed times, so all I need to do is pretend to be a delivery driver."

The plan, which seems simple and straightforward, is actually effective enough.

Figure out their weaknesses, preferences, and patterns of behavior.

Then you can just barge in. The fight between players won't be noticed by ordinary people, and even if there are gunshots, it won't attract the police.

Thinking of this, Haji glanced at the time; it was about time to act.

He put on a delivery uniform and swiped a pistol conspicuously at his waist.

Haki went downstairs, then went to the hotel across the street, strolled into the elevator, and pressed the floor button.

As he drew closer to his target, a cruel smile crept across his face.

That's how it should be, that's how it should be.

His talent shouldn't be buried at the bottom of the Headhunter Alliance; he should have become a top-tier player.

He possesses excellent mental and execution abilities, as well as strong investigative and counter-investigative skills—that's his true strength!

Haki seems to see a bright future!
As we approached the door of the chicken leg shop, a high-pitched and melodious sound came from inside.

Haji couldn't help but laugh. "Born in hardship, die in comfort," he said. "Chicken Leg, as a player of a hyperdimensional game, you still don't understand this principle."

"Dong dong dong."

Haki knocked on the door.

A female voice came from inside: "Your Viagra should have arrived. Go and get it."

Hagi: "?"

Then came the man's shout: "Wait a moment!"

Then the man's voice lowered a few decibels, as if he were speaking to someone inside the room: "I'm actually quite capable normally."

Hagi: "."

A flurry of activity erupted inside, followed by the thud of bare feet on the floor.

Then, the room door began to open, and Haki had already picked up his pistol and aimed it at the other person's feet.

"boom!"

With a loud gunshot, Haki's head exploded.

Chicken Leg, having been splattered with blood and brain matter by opening the door, stared dumbfounded at the corpse lying on the ground.

"Whoo~"

Ji Yi blew on the muzzle of the gun and walked from the door of the next room to the chicken leg.

"I've been listening next door for ages, no, I've been waiting for ages."

He put away the gun and looked at the chicken leg covered in blood:
"You're such a worry."
