Too lazy to go downstairs for a meal.

So, when Lu Ming came out of the Nether Ghost Tower, he had already ordered takeout in advance.

By the time he returned to the city and logged off, the delivery had arrived at his door.

"I'll just have a quick bite for lunch, and go out for something nice in the evening!"

Saying this, Lu Ming opened the takeout box and took out a serving of grilled fish, charcoal-grilled chicken, and spicy bullfrog; along with some snacks like burgers, meat rolls, fried chicken, fries, grilled wings, and cola...

He ate and drank to his heart's content.

At 12:55 PM, Lu Ming logged back online.

It was almost time for the scheduled meeting, but there was no sign of Lin Youwei.

After 1 PM, Lu Ming sent Lin Youwei a WeChat message: "Are you ready yet?"

However, there was no reply from her.

After waiting another ten minutes and still not seeing Lin Youwei online, Lu Ming sent her another message: "When you log on, come directly to the Nether Ghost Tower to find me."

With that, Lu Ming decided not to wait for Lin Youwei any longer and headed to the Nether Ghost Tower on his own.

After all, time is money.

Right now, Lu Ming's most pressing desire was to buy a comfortable big house in the city center and live a better life than he currently had!

The days of his past life were just too bitter!

In this life, Lu Ming didn't want to shortchange himself at all.

Little did he know, just as he left Starlight City, several pairs of eyes immediately fixed on him.

"Follow him!"

"Yes!"

...

Lu Ming was heading towards the Nether Ghost Tower.

Meanwhile, ten Undead Warriors were spread out several hundred yards ahead, sharing their vision with Lu Ming, who constantly monitored his surroundings to prevent any sudden danger.

The premise of living a good life is knowing how to protect yourself at all times!

But Lu Ming never expected that the crisis would quietly approach from behind.

He hadn't gone far from Starlight City when a group of players suddenly rushed over and surrounded him!

Lu Ming looked around and found that they were all players from the God Slayer Squad, and their levels were all between 30 and 35!

A dozen or so people eyed Lu Ming like hungry wolves.

"Is it him?"

"Can't see his face with the mask on! And the ID is hidden too."

"Judging by the level, build, and class, it should be him!"

Lu Ming had no idea what they were talking about.

At this moment, a 34-level Fourth Transition Summoner named God Slayer, Dragon pointed at Lu Ming and questioned, "Are you Dawn?"

Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

Dawn?

Isn't that his alt ID?

At this moment, Lu Ming seemed to suddenly understand the intentions of the opposing players.

If nothing unexpected, they were probably here to avenge Ye Chen!

Because Ye Chen was a member of the God Slayer Squad.

And at that time, Lu Ming had entered the Scarlet Zone dungeon with Ye Chen using the alt ID "Dawn."

As a result, Ye Chen died in the dungeon, and as a companion, Lu Ming would surely face their retaliation.

Lu Ming wasn't worried at all.

He said to the surrounding God Slayer players, "You're looking for Dawn, what does that have to do with me, Nether?"

As he spoke, Lu Ming revealed the hidden ID above his head.

When the words "Lv13 Second Transition Trickster·Nether" appeared before them, the God Slayer players were all stunned.

"Damn it, we've been watching the wrong guy!"

"What now? Do we retreat?"

"Retreat my ass! We've only got one day from the top to find Dawn. If we let him go, where are we going to find Dawn?"

"He's so similar, even if he's not Dawn, he has to be! We'll kill him, record a video, edit his ID to Dawn, destroy the evidence, and submit the video. Problem solved!"

Hearing their discussion, Lu Ming couldn't help but think, "Alright, alright, if that's how you want to play it?"

Lu Ming decided not to pretend anymore.

He immediately summoned all his Undead Warriors within a hundred yards of the hidden area.

Although he wasn't confident he could kill these God Slayer players.

After all, the level difference was too great!

Lu Ming was only a 13-level Second Transition, while their levels were all above 30 Fourth Transition!

However, Lu Ming's third talent, Rebirth from Ashes, allowed him to randomly sacrifice the weakest Undead Warrior to resurrect Lu Ming upon his death.

Lu Ming had 260 Undead Warriors, which meant he could resurrect 260 times!

Even if he couldn't win.

It wouldn't be easy for them to kill Lu Ming either.

So, the surrounding God Slayer players all picked up their weapons, looking fierce.

Just as the tension was about to erupt into a fight.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the periphery.

"Stop right there!"

Following the voice, a female Assassin walked over.

In her black tight-fitting battle suit, the girl's slender waist and graceful figure were perfectly highlighted.

Her short, neat hair and those deep, cold eyes reflected her confidence and boldness.

When Lu Ming saw the ID above her head, he was taken aback.

"God Slayer, Moon?!"

Wasn't this the confidant Qing Yan had mentioned, sent by the God Slayer Squad's boss, and the highest manager of the God Slayer branch in Starlight City, who was also Lu Ming's current prime target for revenge?

Lu Ming was slightly surprised to find that God Slayer, Moon was a girl!

Seeing God Slayer, Moon, the surrounding God Slayer players all showed her utmost respect.

"Miss Qin, we're executing the boss's order to kill Dawn!"

God Slayer, Moon crossed her arms, emphasizing the curves of her chest, and said with an imposing aura, "Since my brother wants you to kill Dawn, what do you mean by targeting this Nether?"

"This..."

God Slayer, Moon's words left them speechless.

"Miss Qin, the boss instructed that we must give an explanation for his brother-in-law Ye Chen's death today. The boss said as long as we provide a flawless kill video... Miss, please don't make it difficult for us..."

Hearing their conversation, Lu Ming suddenly received a lot of information.

Brother?!

God Slayer, Moon's identity was actually the sister of the God Slayer boss?

Brother-in-law Ye Chen... doesn't this prove that the God Slayer Squad's boss was the one behind Ye Ling'er betraying Lu Ming!?

So, this God Slayer, Moon in front of him was the sister of the person who caused Lu Ming's death?!

At this moment, a murderous intent surged in Lu Ming's heart.

But he didn't act rashly.

Because at that time in the Scarlet Zone, it was Ye Chen who was killed under the identity of "Dawn," and with the dungeon's cover, outsiders didn't know the truth, so it was still plausible and wouldn't implicate Lu Ming.

And right now, although this 19-level God Slayer, Moon was easy to kill, if Lu Ming killed her openly as his main account Nether, it would definitely trigger a full-server hunt by the entire God Slayer Squad!

By then, there would be no place for Lu Ming in the Sky Abyss world.

Just as Lu Ming was thinking this.

God Slayer, Moon suddenly said to Lu Ming, "I know you're from Tianxuan."

"But it's okay, come to my God Slayer Squad, I'll offer you ten times what Tianxuan gives you! A monthly salary of one million, how about it?"

As soon as she said this, the surrounding high-level God Slayer players were stunned.

They clearly didn't understand how a mere 13-level Trickster could be valued so highly by God Slayer, Moon.

A monthly salary of one million!

That sounded really tempting.

Unfortunately, with Lu Ming's current capabilities, he could earn more than a million a month on his own, so why be at someone else's beck and call?

Once he joined God Slayer and took their million salary, he wouldn't be as free as he was now.

Unlike now, where he was nominally part of Tianxuan but wasn't bound by them, still living freely as he pleased.

Moreover, this was God Slayer!

The squad led by the person who took Ye Ling'er from Lu Ming and instructed her to harm him!

So, Lu Ming decisively refused, "No need."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."

With that, Lu Ming turned and left.

The God Slayer Squad members who were waiting to report back prepared to intercept, but God Slayer, Moon shouted, "Anyone who dares to touch him, I'll have them permanently banned in the Sky Abyss world!"

With those words, the dozen or so 30-level God Slayer players were too frightened to make a move.

Finally, the Summoner God Slayer, Dragon couldn't help but ask, "Miss Qin, I know if you value him, he must have extraordinary qualities, but why do you still..."

Watching Lu Ming's gradually departing figure, a hint of admiration appeared in God Slayer, Moon's cold eyes, "If he had agreed to join us without any resistance just now, I would have thought I overestimated him."

"But now, it seems he's worth far more than a million."

"This Trickster, I must have him!"

God Slayer, Moon's eyes shone with confidence.

Meanwhile, in the shadows.

Seeing that the God Slayer people didn't trouble Lu Ming, Tianxuan·Shadow immediately signaled the dozen or so 40-level Tianxuan players to halt their actions.

And sent a private message to Tianxuan·Eternal: "Just now, God Slayer, Moon tried to poach Nether from us at Tianxuan, offering a million monthly salary, but was rejected by Nether."

As he spoke, Tianxuan·Shadow rolled up his sleeves, "Captain, should I go teach that God Slayer, Moon woman a lesson? Daring to poach our Tianxuan people in broad daylight!"

"Hold off for now, even if we break the jungle law, it has to be them who do it. The infamy of breaking the rules and betraying trust should be borne by them, God Slayer."

Tianxuan·Eternal replied, "Continue to protect Nether in secret, and also keep an eye on God Slayer, Moon. Her usual style is to stop at nothing to achieve her goals, she will surely make further moves against Nether later."

"Understood!"

On the other side.

For Lu Ming, although he missed this opportunity.

At least he had locked onto his target!

He already knew that the God Slayer Squad's boss was the one behind his death!

God Slayer, Moon being his sister was undoubtedly good news.

"Can't kill you for now, then killing your sister first should hurt you quite a bit, right?"

In Lu Ming's mind, he began to plan his next revenge scheme.
