Wei Ning maintained stealth movement, creating distance between himself and the two.
When the distance increased to more than 500 meters, Wei Ning began to use the experience bar to raise his level to Lv.25.
This time he allocated more points to the Intelligence attribute to increase skill damage.
At the same time, Wei Ning, at level 25, also learned the first set of control skills for the Curse Warlock.
[Terrifying Curse]
Use curses to create fear and destroy people's will.
The target panicked and was unable to move.
Lasts for 2 seconds, with a 15-second cooldown.
[Slow Curse]
Use curses to slow down the target, hindering all their actions.
The speed decreased by 10%.
Lasts 30 seconds.
Having prepared, Wei Ning focused on the target [Lv.19 Cheng Fang] and used [Mirror-Breaking Arrow].
At level 25, the initial damage of the Mirror-Breaking Arrow has reached 100 points.
With a distance of 500 meters, the damage is over 5000.
Wei Ning also changed to a full set of Lv.25 high-quality equipment, deliberately stacking spell penetration effects, making his spells easier to hit and harder to dodge against targets with magic resistance or high levels.
Wei Ning put down the White Bone Staff, and a white light appeared, from which the Mirror-Breaking Arrow was shot out.
Immediately afterwards, he made a grasping motion in the air with his right hand, and purple light rolled around him.
Panel display:
Release [Mirror-Breaking Arrow] to deal 5780 magic damage to [Lv.24 Cheng Fang].
Release [Cursed Touch] to deal 2910 curse damage to [Lv.24 Cheng Fang].
……
Cheng Fang had a total of 16500 health points, and he was wearing extra stamina and resistance gear. But facing Wei Ning, who was of a higher level, he didn't even have a chance to catch his breath.
The first skill stunned him.
In that one second of stun, before Cheng Fang's screams had even finished, the subsequent damage directly took away 50% of his health.
Then, three more malicious touches triggered Cheng Fang's "Feign Death" skill, blocking a fatal attack.
But it only bought him a second or two. Cheng Fang wanted to seize the last chance to activate [Dodge] and live for another 8 seconds.
However, Wei Ning didn't give him that chance. He seamlessly followed up the stunned state with [Curse of Horror], dealing more than 2 seconds of hard control, followed by two [Curse Touch] attacks, finishing off the last bit of health.
From the moment he discovered he was bleeding until his death, Cheng Fang didn't even utter a complete "ah".
Panel display:
Defeating [Lv.24 Cheng Fang] grants 15600 experience points.
Obtained [Lv.24 Loot Pack - Excellent]
Obtain the [Eavesdropping - Skill Book - Player]
Obtain the [Storage Box - Cheng Fang]
Obtain [Black Heart - Material - Rare]
……
Wei Ning continued to attack, this time focusing on another target [Lv.27 Yu Youli - Knight]. The cooldown of Mirror Arrow had not yet expired, so Wei Ning started with [Curse Touch].
Then Wei Ning's shot missed.
On the map, Yu Youli's plate armor outline was surrounded by a golden halo, resembling an eggshell.
Panel display:
The [Curse Touch] is immune to [Lv.27 Yu Youli].
This is invincible.
The next moment, Yu Youli raised his right hand high, holding a scroll in his palm, and began to chant.
One second, two seconds later, Yu Youli transformed into a white light and shot into the sky in a flash.
That was too decisive.
From noticing their teammate's health was dropping, to becoming invincible, and then using the escape scroll, the opponent's entire sequence of actions was fluid and seamless, without a single pause.
Wei Ning was deeply moved by this chivalrous spirit.
He quickly realized what was happening, switched the view on the large map, and went to the fog gate entrance at number 12.
Sure enough, at the fog gate, a beam of white light fell, piecing together the outline of Yu Youli.
The other party hurriedly fled towards the fog gate.
Wei Ning can continue attacking; at this distance, he might even be able to kill his opponent instantly.
But Wei Ning stopped.
He was approached by assassins time and again.
The last time I was at Qingyuan Company's industrial park was because of a conflict with Wang Haoren, so I can understand it.
But why are there assassins following us on Li Group's territory this time?
Moreover, the team they sent was at level 29.
Is it really targeting him, a newcomer who just graduated two days ago and is now an awakened individual?
Perhaps he should observe more closely.
Let's see where Yu Youli is going.
If an accident happens, shouldn't you report it to your superiors?
Perhaps there's no superior, but rather a client. There should be clues in their actions.
Wei Ning then watched Yu Youli from above the large map, paying attention to his next move.
Yu Youli reported his arrival at the dilapidated temple camp before leaving the foggy area.
Wei Ning noticed that the other party was using an employee badge, and that the badge was different from the QR code badges used by dispatched workers; Yu Youli's badge was a contactless verification type.
This suggests that Yu Youli is likely a full-time employee of Dream Group.
Continuing the investigation, Yu Youli took the park's shuttle bus all the way down the mountain.
After descending the mountain, the other party started taking the bus again.
Wei Ning got a little bored, so he started flipping through the spoils he had just collected.
[Eavesdropping - Skill Book - Player]
This is a skill obtained by killing Cheng Fang.
Wei Ning ate the book and gained the [Lv.25 Eavesdropping] skill.
The skill has a range of 30 meters. Wei Ning tried it on the world map and found that it can be used at an unlimited distance.
He only needs to stare at the outline of [Lv.27 Yu Youli] to cast the [Eavesdropping] effect.
He could hear the sound of the bus's air valve, the sound of people scanning QR codes to board, and two students talking about their homeroom teacher.
These match the outlines of the bus shown on the map, which is the effect of eavesdropping—obtaining the sounds around the target.
As Wei Ning listened to the sounds, he continued to sort through his spoils, piling up all the newly acquired [Black Hearts].
At this moment, his panel information suddenly refreshed:
[Yu Youli: Cheng Fang is dead, and Tao Youguang is dead too!!!]
[Yu Youli: What kind of mission is this? Wasn't it supposed to be just tracking?!]
[Liu Qiong: Dead? How did he die? Give me a detailed account.]
[Yu Youli: The process? Pay up! Pay up! Pay up!]
[Yu Youli: I almost died! I'm going to double it, double it for all three of them!]
……
Wei Ning was surprised to see Yu Youli's chat history with someone else.
Is this also the effect of [eavesdropping]? Wei Ning had never heard of assassin skills having such an ability.
But he did see all the chat content.
In subsequent chats, Liu Qiong agreed to Yu Youli's request for more money.
Yu Youli embellished the details of Tao Youguang and Cheng Fang's deaths, making it sound like a blockbuster movie.
They outwitted and outmaneuvered the Li sisters, fought a life-or-death battle with a mysterious deliveryman, and were ultimately assassinated by a mysterious force.
The killer must be the Li sisters. Yu Youli was quite certain of this during the conversation.
Wei Ning understood the sequence of events from these conversations.
This [Liu Qiong] hired a group of people to steal an important item from Li Binbin and Li Qiuqiu, the [Demon King's Token].
Yu Youli and a few others were only responsible for monitoring Li Binbin's movements.
Later, due to Wei Ning's appearance, they assumed that Wei Ning was related to the Li sisters, so they sent someone to follow Wei Ning in order to obtain more clues about the [Demon King's Token].
Then, Wei Ning accidentally killed Tao Youguang, then accidentally killed Cheng Fang, and also overheard a conspiracy.
Looking at it this way, Wei Ning felt that he had been really careless.
No, it should be that she felt she was being used by Li Binbin.
If Li Binbin hadn't given him a ride with the Flying Dragon, Yu Youli and the others wouldn't have paid any attention to him, the one who ran away without paying.
Li Binbin is really bad.
What is the "Demon King's Decree"?
Who is Liu Qiong?
Wei Ning has many problems.
At that moment, [Thousands of Miles Away] seemed to sense his thoughts.
The large map flickered and a small red dot lit up. A red thread flew up from the red dot and connected to the bus where Yu Youli was.
Wei Ning immediately shifted his view, following the silk thread to above the red dot, and quickly made out the outline of a figure:
[Lv.29 Liu Qiong - Mage]
The other party was in the underground parking garage of Qingyuan Company's western suburban park, inside a black minivan.
There was another silhouette on the same vehicle:
【Lv.39 Dan Hongwei - Demon Warlock】
Therefore, his skills include not only eavesdropping on sounds and chat messages, but also being able to locate objects.
Wei Ning immediately used [Eavesdrop] on Liu Qiong and heard voices nearby, seemingly reporting a situation:
"Sister Wei, we got the Demon King's Token. It's level 29. It just means two of the intermediaries died."
This is Liu Qiong's voice.
"It's alright. We'll bring the Demon King's Token back to the park today, and pack it up nicely."
"I will personally deliver it to the Second Young Master once he is resurrected."
……
Upon hearing this, Wei Ning was stunned.
Has the Second Young Master been resurrected?
The two people in the car are most likely employees of Qingyuan Company, and the second young master is Wang Haoren.
Is Wang Haoren resurrected?
Wei Ning thought of resurrection items and equipment.
He recently received a Rebirth Amulet as a limited-time reward for clearing the [Lv.19 Human Skin Painting Boat].
Wang Haoren's family is wealthy and powerful, and he is pampered at home, so it's normal for him to have resurrection equipment.
If the other party is resurrected, they will likely continue to cause trouble for him and Wu Sheng.
Wei Ning needs to keep a close eye on the time and kill Wang Haoren again.
This is such a hassle.
Rich people are really hard to kill.
Wei Ning wanted to simply wipe out the Wang family, but he wasn't high enough level; he was only Lv.25.
Even if he has enough long-range damage, it's difficult for him to hit high-level Awakened.
Level is very important.
Wei Ning was once again convinced of this principle.
To ensure peace, he needs a higher level. For example, reaching Lv.30 would be a much more realistic goal.
He needs to find a level 29 dungeon quickly.
Ideally, he could find it in Qinglian County; if not, he could look in the surrounding cities.
