It was clear that after using Ye Ling'er to get rid of Lu Ming, the mastermind behind it had given the Ye family too many benefits.

Ye Chen, who used to rely on Lu Ming to pay for his high school tuition, had now entered Sky Abyss and was surrounded by dozens of bodyguards for protection.

And overnight, his fame had skyrocketed!

However, when Lu Ming took a closer look, he found that the bodyguards around Ye Chen were only level 10.

With the strength of Lu Ming's Undead Warriors, once Ye Chen stepped out of Moonfall Town, they could easily be cut down without any effort!

At this moment, Ye Chen was greeting his fans while having two female assistants distribute gifts.

Lu Ming wasn't interested, but because he was in the front row, he was forcefully handed a delicate red envelope pouch!

Opening the red envelope, he found three silver coins inside!

In the trading market, the value of one silver coin was two hundred yuan.

That's six hundred yuan, and it was just for Lu Ming alone!

"What a generous move," Lu Ming thought, looking at Ye Chen, who used to need Lu Ming to transfer money via WeChat just to go out for hot pot with classmates, and his hatred grew even stronger.

Ye Chen's goal was to win people over.

He wanted all the players in Moonfall Town to become his fans.

Because he had been an unnoticed streamer for two years.

He longed for attention and to become a prominent figure.

Additionally, he wanted to ensure that in the novice village area, he could call for help anytime, anywhere if needed.

After distributing the gifts, Ye Chen accepted a task in the town.

Then, he headed north out of Moonfall Town.

Seeing this, Lu Ming immediately followed.

Watching as Ye Chen finally stepped out of the safe zone.

Lu Ming was planning to follow him to a secluded place and then eliminate them all without anyone knowing.

But at that moment, dozens of fully armed high-level players appeared outside the town!

They seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and as soon as Ye Chen went out, they immediately surrounded him!

Lu Ming used his tenfold-enhanced F-level Reconnaissance to take a casual look and was shocked to find that those players were all level 30!

And they had all completed their fourth class advancement!

"This level clearly isn't for novice area players."

"They must have come down from the second layer, the main city area," Lu Ming thought, frowning slightly.

He hadn't expected Ye Chen to have such comprehensive protective measures.

Lu Ming then realized: the dozens of level 10 players initially following him weren't bodyguards but were there to help him level up!

According to Sky Abyss's team mechanism: players with a level difference of no more than 10 levels can team up.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

Higher-level players can weaken the monsters, but even if Ye Chen lands the final blow, he won't gain any benefits.

So these level 30 fourth-class players were Ye Chen's real bodyguards!

This was going to be tricky.

Because under Lu Ming's comprehensive amplification and formation enhancement, his Undead Warriors, even at level 8, could match players up to around level 15.

But they definitely couldn't handle level 30 players!

Of course, Lu Ming could wait until he reached level 20 to kill him.

By then, the Undead Warriors would certainly have the strength to crush level 30 players.

But as soon as players reach level 10, they can leave the novice area and enter the second layer through Sky Abyss.

Even if Lu Ming leveled up quickly, with so many level 10 players power-leveling Ye Chen, his leveling speed wouldn't be slow.

By the time Lu Ming reached level 20, Ye Chen would likely have already reached level 10 and entered the second layer.

By then, high-level players in the second layer, level 40 or 50, would be as common as dirt, and Ye Chen could arrange even more high-level bodyguards, making it even harder for Lu Ming to kill him!

So, Lu Ming had to deal with Ye Chen in the novice area!

"The strength of level 30 fourth-class players is too strong. My Undead Warriors are all melee, and they might not even get a chance to get close to Ye Chen before being killed instantly."

"And if I act rashly, unless I can kill him in one blow, it would only alert him; I need to find a way to lure those level 30s away!"

Once Ye Chen was alone, he would be easy to kill.

But how could he make that happen?

As he hesitated, a figure suddenly flashed in Lu Ming's mind!

Lin Youwei!

Lu Ming knew that Ye Chen truly liked Lin Youwei and was willing to stay in the third-tier Linhai City for her, giving up the opportunity to go to the big city of Beijing with his sister Ye Ling'er.

In fact, a major reason Ye Chen wanted to become famous was for Lin Youwei!

He remembered Ye Ling'er once telling Lu Ming, "Why don't you support Chen Chen's live stream? Give him some gifts."

"Chen Chen said that once he becomes a big internet celebrity, he can pursue Lin Youwei. My brother only likes this one girl, and I want to help him!"

At the time, Lu Ming was saving money to buy a house and marry Ye Ling'er.

Ye Ling'er said, "The house can wait, but my brother's matter can't. If Lin Youwei is snatched by someone else, my brother will regret it for the rest of his life!"

"After all, he's my brother and your brother too, and my mom said we won't need a dowry when we get married!"

Back then, Lu Ming foolishly believed Ye Ling'er and spent tens of thousands of yuan in seven days on gifts for Ye Chen's live stream!

Even though it was all for nothing.

After all, Lin Youwei rejected Ye Chen simply because she didn't like him, not because she looked down on his lack of fame.

Recalling last night, when the three assassins sent by Ye Chen killed Lin Youwei's brother and attempted to assault Lin Youwei.

It was clear that Ye Chen's wolfish ambition was still focused on Lin Youwei!

"Using Lin Youwei to get close to Ye Chen could make him lower his guard, and finding an opportunity to isolate Ye Chen would be much easier!"

But then another problem arose.

There was once a sincere opportunity in front of Lu Ming, and he didn't cherish it. It was only after losing it that he regretted it.

If heaven could give him another chance...

"I should have agreed to help Lin Youwei get revenge last night!"

But where could he find Lin Youwei now?

Just as Lu Ming was thinking this, a voice suddenly came to his ear: "Want to kill him? I'll help you!"

Lu Ming's heart trembled.

He turned to see five players approaching!

The leader was a young archer dressed in silver chainmail.

Though he looked young, around eighteen, the sharpness in his eyes was like that of a seasoned veteran.

His white ID, not hidden, was clearly visible: Lv9 First-Class Archer—Tianxuan·Eternal!

As Lu Ming pondered where he had seen a similar ID before.

He noticed a familiar face standing next to Tianxuan·Eternal.

It was a knight in fiery armor, about thirty years old, whom Lu Ming immediately recognized as Tianxuan·Zongheng, the man who had accompanied him in the Moon Demon Sanctuary dungeon last night!

Besides him, the other three also had IDs with the "Tianxuan" prefix.

Since Sky Abyss descended and gradually dominated the human world.

Major player guilds, teams, and families had risen to prominence.

This Tianxuan was clearly a team organization.

Feigning ignorance, Lu Ming asked Tianxuan·Eternal, "Are you talking to me?"

Tianxuan·Eternal stopped in front of Lu Ming and said, "Join my team, and I'll help you kill that Chen Emperor, how about it?"

Lu Ming's heart trembled again, surprised at how the other knew what he was thinking.

But he feigned ignorance: "What are you talking about?"

Tianxuan·Eternal smiled faintly, "Don't pretend. The look of someone wanting to kill is unmistakable. I've been watching you for a while."

Before Lu Ming could speak, Tianxuan·Eternal continued, "He has so many level 30 bodyguards around him, killing him is like climbing to the sky."

"Our Tianxuan Team has countless strong players over level 100. Killing them is as easy as stepping on ants."

"The premise is that you join us. Of course, I won't shortchange you. Besides helping you kill that person, I'll also offer you a starting monthly salary of 100,000 yuan. How about it?"

A hundred thousand a month!

To be honest, Lu Ming's first reaction was indeed tempting.

But, having lived a life of dependence and humiliation in his past life, he didn't want to be under anyone's control again.

And he had to kill Ye Chen himself to feel the thrill of revenge!

Moreover, the origins of these people were unknown, and their true intentions were unclear.

To be cautious, Lu Ming politely declined, "Thanks, but no thanks."

"Besides, I just don't like him, it's not to the point of wanting to kill him, don't misunderstand."

With that, Lu Ming turned and left.

Watching Lu Ming's figure gradually recede.

At this moment, an 8th-level Assassin named Tianxuan·Shadow rolled up his sleeves and said fiercely, "This kid doesn't know what's good for him. Captain, let me teach him a lesson!"

Tianxuan·Eternal reached out to stop him, "We're civilized people, let's not be so reckless."

"Besides, you're not his match."

Hearing this, Tianxuan·Shadow scoffed, "Tch, that kid may be the same level as me, but he's just a Trickster, a class with no damage and no tankiness. I could take him out in one combo without giving him a chance to react!"

Before he finished speaking.

The knight Tianxuan·Zongheng glanced at the spirited Tianxuan·Shadow and said, "He could kill you as easily as squashing a chick."

Tianxuan·Shadow was obviously unconvinced, "I don't believe it!"

As he spoke, Tianxuan·Shadow rolled up his sleeves, "Unless you let me go teach him a lesson!"

Tianxuan·Eternal looked at Tianxuan·Shadow, "I told you, we're civilized people, let's not be so reckless."

"This person, Tianxuan has set his sights on!"

"Go keep an eye on him, and if anyone dares to compete with us for him..."

Before he finished speaking, Tianxuan·Shadow rolled up his sleeves, "Then we'll teach them a lesson!"

Tianxuan·Eternal looked at Tianxuan·Shadow with disdain and said, "Why are you so reckless?"

"I'll say it again, we're civilized people!"

After a pause, Tianxuan·Eternal said calmly, "If anyone dares to compete with us for him, we'll take them down!"

"Understood!!!"
