Skip this! Just tell me who to kill!

"Brother Qin—"

"No need to say more."

Qin Muyuan raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Chang again as he spoke anxiously.

He glanced at the changed mission:

Xiao Chang, filled with remorse, assigns you the task, but you decide to change the task details after addressing Xiao Chang's concerns.

[The overall mission has been changed to: The whole nation is an enemy]

[Lin Jiuye wants to kill you, the Commandant of Hongyan County wants to kill you, and the high-ranking officials of Qinghua County want to kill you! But are you willing to surrender?! As the saying goes—"Laughing loudly, I stride out the door; how can I, a man of such stature, be a mere commoner!" You, Qin Muyuan, have decided to kill—to kill all those who want to kill you, to kill all those who stand in your way, to kill all those who dare to look up at you!]

[Phase One Mission: Kill everyone in Qinghua County who tries to kill you!]

[Task Rewards: Experience +1000, Shop Points +4000, Fire Cloud Kingdom Regional Reputation +400, White Martial Art - Berserker Sword Technique *1]

[Note: This task is divided into multiple stages. Upon completion of each stage, you can claim the reward for that stage and unlock the next stage.]

"The whole country is our enemy? What a great mission name!"

Upon seeing the changed mission, Qin Muyuan felt a surge of relief; this was the mission he wanted!

In such an open and realistic open world, how could running away be the only way to solve problems?

All you need to do is kill all the enemies, all you need to do is slay all the monsters blocking your way, and cut Lin Jiuye, whose name sounds quite like a BOSS's name, into eighteen pieces!

Then there will be no one who wants to kill you, and the mission will be complete!

Why worry?

The only solution is to kill!

Qin Muyuan raised his eyes and said to Xiao Chang:

"Later, you will make a commotion in the Xiao residence, making it seem as if I have broken with your Xiao family and am about to fight my way out of the Xiao residence with my sword."

As a player, Qin Muyuan possessed an immortal body and was indeed not afraid of Lin Jiuye and the others.

However, if Xiao Chang and his family were killed, they would truly be doomed.

At least, Qin Muyuan had not seen any items in the shop panel that could revive NPCs.

Of course, it's also possible that your current level is not high enough and many items in the shop haven't been unlocked yet.

However, no matter what, it's best not to involve the Xiao family.

This way, he can protect the Xiao family and also prevent them from becoming a hindrance, forcing him to come back and rescue them later.

Even if the latter might involve an extra task, Qin Muyuan accepts tasks to level up and become stronger, not simply to take on tasks.

Moreover, I just said I would protect Xiao Chang, but then I sacrificed Xiao Chang to get a small mission... which will lower my mood.

"Brother Qin..."

Upon hearing Qin Muyuan's words, Xiao Feng was about to speak when he was interrupted by Xiao Chang, who had been silent for a moment: "Father, there's no need to say anything!"

Xiao Chang raised his head and looked at Qin Muyuan, his face showing an unprecedented seriousness:

"Brother Qin, I believe in you!"

"I suddenly understand, Brother Qin, you are a true peerless genius."

"Your talent in martial arts is not only the strongest I've ever seen, but also the strongest I've ever heard of!"

"Since you've made this decision, it means you must have a lot of confidence in your heart."

"In that case, Xiao Chang... wishes Brother Qin all the best!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Muyuan grinned:

"Even though you're just a string of code, you suit my taste! After I've slaughtered my way through the entire Fire Cloud Kingdom, I'll make that Fire Cloud Emperor step down and let you be the emperor for a bit!"

These outrageous words brought a wry smile to Xiao Chang's face, but he had long known that Qin Muyuan was fearless, so he wasn't surprised.

He simply patted Qin Muyuan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Qin, you're alive!"

"Haven't you seen it before? I can't die, can I?"

Qin Muyuan smiled and patted Wangcai's head. Under the gaze of the Xiao family, he walked out of the room with a carefree air.

"No one is to reveal a single word of what happened today to the outside world! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As Xiao Feng gazed at Qin Muyuan's retreating figure, he solemnly addressed all the members of the Xiao family.

"We understand!"

The rest of the Xiao family members nodded solemnly.

If even a single word of today's conversation with Qin Muyuan is leaked, the Xiao family will face annihilation, and the entire clan will be beheaded!

Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng nodded and then quickly instructed his relatives to create a commotion, making it seem as if they had disagreed and broken ties with Qin Muyuan.

……

Outside the Xiao residence.

Shi Gandang paced anxiously back and forth at the foot of the steps in front of the mansion.

He had recently received a secret report from the clandestine organization, informing him that someone was plotting against his savior, Qin Muyuan.

Upon hearing the news, he immediately set off from home and rushed to the Xiao residence to deliver the message.

However, the guards at the gate of the Xiao residence stopped him, saying that he needed to go inside first to ask the person in charge of the Xiao family for permission before he could be allowed to pass.

But... a long time has passed since the guard went in to report, and no one has come out yet.

This made Shi Gandang extremely anxious, because the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Qin Muyuan!

When Shi Gandang could no longer bear it and decided to force his way into the Xiao residence...

Suddenly, a commotion and extremely noisy noise arose within the Xiao residence.

Shi Gandang's expression changed:

"Could it be that the assassins have already targeted Master Qin?"

Thinking this, he was about to rush into the Xiao residence.

At that very moment, a blood-stained figure slowly walked out of the Xiao residence.

It is Qin Muyuan.

"Master Qin! You..."

Shi Gandang immediately stepped forward, but before he could speak, he suddenly noticed the bloodstains on Qin Muyuan's body and the commotion and shouts coming from the Xiao residence.

"Oh? It's Shi Gandang. What brings you here?" Qin Muyuan asked calmly when he saw Shi Gandang coming to greet him.

"Master Qin! Someone is plotting to assassinate you. Please proceed immediately to the entrance of Qinghua County! My organization has sent people to meet you. There is no time to lose, please set off at once!"

Upon hearing the sound, Shi Gandang snapped out of his daze. He didn't bother to inquire about the bloodstains on Qin Muyuan's robes, nor did he pay attention to the commotion and noise coming from inside the Xiao residence. He just anxiously urged them loudly.

Why do they all seem to think they're about to suffer a terrible fate?

Qin Muyuan was puzzled when he heard Shi Gandang's words. Why did everyone feel that he would definitely die if he didn't run away? Was there no one willing to believe him?

"It seems my reputation is still too low; there isn't even a single person willing to believe me."

Qin Muyuan thought to himself, as he walked out of the Xiao residence, he waved his hand, refusing Shi Gandang's urging:

"Stop talking! My mind is made up."

"Let me escape? These NPCs aren't capable of that!"

Shi Gandang wanted to speak again, but Qin Muyuan had already set off, opened the mission guide, and slowly walked in the direction indicated by the arrow in his field of vision.

They gave Shi Gandang no chance to persuade him again.

On the street outside the Xiao residence.

The neighbors quickly recognized Qin Muyuan, who was covered in blood and holding a bone nail.

After news spread that Qin Muyuan had stormed into Baiyun Martial Arts School yesterday and rescued the martial artists, many neighbors were somewhat intimidated when they saw him covered in blood and holding a bone nail.

However, some of the bolder neighbors mustered their courage and asked:

"Master Qin, you're covered in blood and look menacing. Where are you headed?"

"Murder," Qin Muyuan replied calmly.

"Murder?!" The neighbors were stunned, their hearts filled with horror.

Is it acceptable to say the word "murder" in public?

After a moment of stunned silence, another neighbor mustered his courage and asked, "Master Qin, who do you intend to kill?"

Qin Muyuan didn't turn his head, continuing to walk in one direction, his voice drifting out:

"Kill everyone who wants to kill me."
