Lin Hui followed Liu Xi's gaze.

One is Anthony, a top player in the Freedom League who is critically injured and on the verge of death.

The other was the traitor, Lin Zhiyuan, who was so frightened that he was paralyzed and pale.

Anthony struggled to lift his head, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and stared intently at Lin Hui.

Although he was already a prisoner, his pride as a high-ranking member of the Freedom Alliance prevented him from adopting a subservient attitude.

"Ahem... I knew you wouldn't let me off the hook today!"

Anthony gritted his bloodied teeth and threatened coldly, "But let me tell you! Our leader's strength is beyond your imagination!"

"When we reach the final stage of the third phase, he will definitely avenge me! This broken mech you're relying on will be utterly useless against our guild leader!!!"

"Is that so?" Lin Hui chuckled. "Then I'll wait and see."

After saying that, Lin Hui didn't even bother to look at him again, and waved his hand casually.

Liu Xi, standing to the side, turned cold.

"Bang!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Xi pressed the revolver in her hand directly against Anthony's forehead and decisively pulled the trigger.

The bullet pierced Anthony's skull instantly.

This top powerhouse of the Free Alliance, who once ranked sixth on the leaderboard, died and perished here.

Warm blood splattered on Lin Zhiyuan's face, who was standing to the side.

"Ah!! No...don't kill me..."

Seeing Anthony get mercilessly shot in the head, Lin Zhiyuan's last line of defense completely collapsed. A foul-smelling yellow liquid flowed from his crotch, and he wet himself in fear.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically, smashing his forehead until it was bloody and mangled.

"Miss Xia! I was wrong! I was forced... I really didn't want to betray you! It was that bastard Anthony who threatened me with death. I'm just an ordinary player, I had no choice!"

"Can you give me a chance? I, Lin Zhiyuan, swear to God that I will serve you like a slave from now on, never wavering in my loyalty!"

"hehe?"

Xia Yun'er kicked Lin Zhiyuan to the ground.

Her eyes were filled with contempt and murderous intent, but she did not make a move immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Lin Hui and quietly waited for the order from the person in charge.

Lin Hui looked at Lin Zhiyuan, who was lying on the ground like a lump of mud, with a cold gaze. "It's up to you to deal with."

After receiving Lin Hui's nod, Xia Yun'er's lips curled into a cold smile.

"You're overacting."

"Whoosh!"

An extremely dazzling silver blade flashed before Lin Zhiyuan's eyes.

"Well……"

Lin Zhiyuan's pleading stopped abruptly.

His pupils dilated instantly, and he covered his neck in terror.

A thin red line appeared in his throat, and then it rapidly expanded. Hot blood gushed out from between his fingers like a fountain, and he couldn't stop it.

Lin Zhiyuan convulsed painfully on the ground a few times, hissing through his throat, before finally collapsing into a pool of blood with a desperate, unfocused look in his eyes.

Facing a traitor!

Execution is the only way!

All the miscellaneous tasks were completed.

A faint smell of blood filled the air, but Xia Yun'er, Li Hanyue, and the others felt incredibly happy.

Lin Hui clapped his hands, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Zhao Xin, who was deep in thought while holding his laptop.

"Zhao Xin," Lin Hui called out.

"Yes, Master!" Zhao Xin jumped up and immediately came closer, still clutching his pen and paper tightly. "What are your thoughts? I'm listening!"

Lin Hui looked at his studious expression and waved his hand speechlessly: "Put your notebook away. I'm asking you, where did you get that exoskeleton armor you're wearing?"

This was the first time Lin Hui had ever seen an exoskeleton armor.

Although it's not even in the same league as the mech shared by their level 8 Starry Sky RV, it's still considered extremely rare and cutting-edge technology among these players who are still focused on specialization and melee/firearms.

"Oh? Master, you're interested in this?"

Zhao Xin immediately pointed to the high-tech metal belt around his waist, patted his chest proudly, and said, "This is my treasure! Breda forged it for me herself!"

"Breda?" Lin Hui raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in return.

"Yes!" Zhao Xin raised his chin. "She's a peerless genius of the dwarf race that I summoned from the [Spirit Realm] using my specialized skill!"

"The Spirit Realm?" Upon hearing these two words, Li Hanyue, Xia Yun'er, and the others nearby were also intrigued and turned to look at them.

Zhao Xin is clearly someone who extremely enjoys being the center of attention.

He explained, "That's a space parallel to our physical universe."

Lin Hui nodded thoughtfully and said, "Could you demonstrate your expertise?"

"No problem!!" Zhao Xin waved his hand and immediately activated his spiritual power, "Gate to the Spirit Realm, open!"

next second.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the space in front of Zhao Xin.

Immediately afterwards, with a "bang," a figure only about 1.3 meters tall stepped out of the illusion and appeared abruptly in front of everyone.

He was a dwarf with a stocky and extremely robust build.

Although short in stature, his shoulders and back were as broad as a door panel, and the muscles on his two exposed arms were bulging and as firm as rocks. He was clearly a top-notch craftsman who spent his days swinging a hammer, forging iron, and chiseling stone by the furnace.

"Zhao Xin!! Why did you call me out again?"

The moment the figure appeared, she swung her iron hammer, glaring angrily at Zhao Xin and roaring, "Don't you know I'm rushing to meet the forging deadline? I'm busy, you know that?!"

Hearing this rough yet slightly sharp voice, Lin Hui was slightly taken aback.

A female dwarf? And with a thick beard?!

Isn't this art style a bit too wild?

After being publicly berated, Zhao Xin felt his prestige had dropped even further.

He quickly moved closer to Brida and whispered, "Oh, my dear Brida, please do me a favor! These are my friends, and they'd like to introduce you!"

Breda rolled her eyes, looked speechlessly at her contractor, and snorted, "Fine, this won't happen again!"

Just then.

Su Qingqian, who had been standing behind Lin Hui, walked over quickly with excitement in her eyes.

"Hello, Ms. Breda. I'm a player who recently advanced to Tier 3 [Mechanical Specialization], and I'm very interested in the energy loop of the exoskeleton armor you created. I wonder... if we could find a place to talk?"

"Specialization in medical instruments?"

Upon hearing this, Brida looked Su Qingqian up and down with her large, round eyes.

As a dwarven forging genius, she had heard of the seven major specializations of human players and knew that players who could reach the third tier of the mechanical specialization had extraordinary expertise in mechanical engineering and blueprint analysis.

Brida, who had initially looked impatient, suddenly became interested.

"Interesting. Little girl, can you understand my polymorphic psionic conversion gear?" Brida asked tentatively.

"Not only do I understand it, but I also think there's a bit of redundancy in your condenser exhaust port design. If you replaced it with a high-pressure liquid nitrogen reflux tank, the power output might increase by 15%." Su Qingqian was not intimidated at all and immediately gave her professional insights.

"Wow...that's a pretty wild idea of ​​yours!"

Breda's eyes lit up as if she had found a kindred spirit, and she immediately pulled Su Qingqian aside.

Two tech enthusiasts, one big and one small, squatted down on the ground and began drawing blueprints on the bluestone slabs, oblivious to everyone around them, and started exchanging ideas intensely.

Lin Hui stood aside and listened for a while.

What "superconducting drainage," "psychic rotor," "high-dimensional parameters"...

He recognized each character individually, but when put together, it was like a book written in a foreign language.

After listening for less than a minute, Lin Hui felt a headache coming on and turned away, losing interest.

Let the professionals handle the professional matters. Anyway, Su Qingqian is one of us, and the skills she learns will eventually be used in her RV.
