Online game: Mistakenly became a female character, started by slaughtering millions of chickens.

Soon, Su Yu arrived at the slums in the south of Dawn City.

Unlike the clean, bright, and magically neon-lit cityscape of the city center, this place seems to be the dark side of this glamorous city.

The streets were filled with sewage, the wooden sheds were dilapidated, and the air was thick with the mixed smell of rotting food and cheap alcohol.

"The environment in this game is way too realistic..."

Su Yu covered her nose, carefully avoiding the unknown filth on the ground.

His bright red cloth clothes stood out starkly in the gloomy slums, drawing wary and greedy glances from the ragged NPCs around him.

According to the clues in the "bloodstained secret letter," the old hunter named Hamu lives here.

Su Yu wandered around the maze-like alleys for a long time before finally finding his target next to a pile of garbage filled with discarded wine bottles.

An old man with gray hair and a scraggly beard was slumped in a pile of junk, clutching a cheap rum bottle tightly in his arms, muttering something indistinctly.

NPC: [The Down-on-his-luck Old Hunter, Hamu]

grade:???

"It's him."

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward, trying her best to appear as a respectful and caring young person.

"Grandpa, wake up."

Su Yu crouched down, took the letter out of his backpack, and handed it to the old man: "This is a letter I found in Sunset Canyon, it seems to be for you..."

The old man, who had been living a life of debauchery, opened his cloudy eyes slightly when he heard the words "Sunset Canyon".

However, the moment he saw Su Yu clearly, his previously drunken eyes suddenly became incredibly clear, even filled with fear and disgust.

He recoiled abruptly, as if fleeing from some plague, and slapped Su Yu's hand away.

Snapped!

The letter fell into the muddy water.

"Get out of here!!"

Hamu let out a hoarse roar, so loud that it startled Su Yu.

The old man stared intently at Su Yu, his nostrils flaring violently, as if he had smelled something extremely terrifying:

"Blood...the smell of blood is so strong!"

"The blood of innocents flows in your veins! Your soul has been stained crimson with sin!"

"Get away from me! I will never speak to a butcher who indiscriminately kills innocent people! You monster!"

Su Yu: "???"

He stared blankly at the old man who had suddenly gone berserk.

Butcher? Demon?

I?

Just then, a cold system notification sounded in his ear.

Ding!

[System notification: Due to your excessively high sin value (current sin value: 600 points), you have been classified as a red-named individual.]

[The favorability rating of NPCs in the righteous faction has dropped significantly. You are unable to interact with these NPCs or accept their quests.]

[WARNING: Please reduce your sin count as soon as possible, otherwise you will be unable to accept any quests and may be attacked by guards.]

"Red name?"

Su Yu subconsciously looked up and glanced at the ID above his head.

The ID, which was originally white, was now a deep red, then a deep purple, almost black, as if the words "I am a serial killer" were written all over its forehead.

Su Yu was stunned for a few seconds, then realized that he had almost forgotten about the red name mechanism.

When I first arrived in Dawn City last time, I killed a few people on the way named "Dragon Soaring Across the Seas," which caused me to become a red-named player and unable to accept quests. Now it's happening again...

He was speechless. The other party had clearly attacked first, and he was acting in self-defense! He was even doing his duty to rid the people of a menace, yet he still ended up with a red name (indicating his criminal record).

The five elites of the Dynasty each contributed 100 sin points, and Qin Tian, ​​that unlucky guy, contributed another 100 points, making it exactly 600 points.

However, when they wiped out the Dragon Soaring Across the Seas team, their sin value didn't seem to be that high, and Su Yu couldn't figure out why.

However, only 60 points of sin value...

Su Yu felt a toothache; if he were to leave the game running, he would have to stay in the wilderness for three days and three nights.

This was absolutely unacceptable to Su Yu, who valued time as money.

If you don't do the hidden quests for three days, it'll be too late.

There are two other methods: using potions to remove red names and killing mutated monsters.

Although the former wasn't expensive for him now, he had at least gained a considerable amount of money thanks to Lin Qingyue, but...

It increases experience and removes the red name (indicating a negative reputation), so why not?

Su Yu decisively chose the latter, then picked up the letter from the ground. Although it was dirty, the quest item was still there, and threw it into his backpack.

Next, I opened the large map and started searching.

Soon, he discovered an area shrouded in black mist to the west of Dawn City.

【Enchanted Forest (Lv.5 - Lv.10)】

[Description: A forest corrupted by dark forces, its creatures have lost their minds and are extremely ferocious. Defeating them will grant you additional rewards for reducing your sin value.]

"These are monsters of the right level, so I can level up while I'm at it."

After all, he only needs 7% more experience points to level up.

He glanced at the old hunter Hamu, who was still cursing at him, and sighed helplessly: "Alright, old man, you wait."

"So you just think I smell too much blood? I'll go take a shower and come back later."

Su Yu stood up and dusted off the hem of his clothes.

Although Qin Tian sold his purple greatsword for money, the level 5 purple katana in his hand was still sharp.

"Perfect, I'll practice on those mutated monsters."

"I've gone to great lengths to prepare for this hidden quest."

Su Yu shook his head, ignoring the terrified looks of the NPCs around him. Carrying his knife, he strode out of the filthy slum and headed towards the demonized forest outside the city.
