"You don't know me, but I know you. I've watched your videos and always wanted to be friends with you and take a photo together!"
One Arrow, One Heart said joyfully, completely unaware of Jiang Chen's cautious demeanor.
"Brothers from all over the world, there's no need for a photo."
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and politely declined.
"Heh!"
At this moment, Master of Life and Death sneered from the side and said slowly, "As expected of a great master, but isn't it unnecessary to put on such airs?"
"This..."
Jiang Chen hadn't finished speaking.
Qian Xingtianxia immediately became displeased and said, "Who's putting on airs? How are you speaking?"
"So it's Qian Xingtianxia, Young Master Qian. Many people say you're a tycoon, but here, money alone won't cut it. If your skills are lacking, money can't save you."
Master of Life and Death glanced at Qian Xingtianxia with disdain in his voice.
"And who do you think you are to judge my skills? If it weren't for the Safe Zone, I'd kill you every time I see you!"
Qian Xingtianxia wasn't known for his good temper.
It was only because Jiang Chen was so formidable that he acted politely; he never tolerated others.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression turned a bit strange.
Kill every time you see him?
Young Master Qian, that's not something you should say!
This guy isn't easy to deal with.
Jiang Chen knew how fierce Master of Life and Death was, and his strength wasn't lacking either.
However, he wasn't sure what level he was at now.
"Very well, then kill every time you see me!"
Master of Life and Death's gaze was cold, like a venomous snake, staring intently at Qian Xingtianxia.
"This grudge is set."
Jiang Chen looked at the two of them and thought to himself, "Hmm, this has nothing to do with me, right?"
"Young Master Qian, let's get down to business."
With that, he walked straight to the front desk.
There was a girl in a maid's dress here, the receptionist of the Adventurers' Guild.
"Hello, how can I assist you? I can help you check tasks, accept tasks, and publish tasks," the maid receptionist said with a sweet smile.
"I am..."
Jiang Chen was about to inquire about the badge.
Qian Xingtianxia, with a displeased expression, walked over and said to the maid receptionist, "I want to publish a task."
It was clear he was a bit agitated.
"Hello, Adventurer. What task would you like to publish?"
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
The maid receptionist asked with a beaming smile.
"A kill task!"
Qian Xingtianxia said in a deep voice.
"Please provide the name of the person to be assassinated. We will determine the task difficulty level for you. You will need to pay the task reward and the publication fee."
The maid receptionist explained in detail, adding, "Do you wish to publish anonymously?"
"No need for anonymity."
Qian Xingtianxia shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I want to publish two assassination tasks!"
The maid receptionist smiled, "Please go ahead."
"The first target is Zainxia Faye!"
Qian Xingtianxia said word by word, a cold smile on his face.
"Is this the name?"
The maid receptionist took out a crystal ball, from which a light screen emerged.
The screen clearly displayed the words "Zainxia Faye."
"That's right."
Qian Xingtianxia nodded.
"Please wait."
The maid receptionist held the crystal ball, seemingly communicating with someone.
After a few seconds, she smiled and said, "The target's assassination difficulty is D-level. The minimum reward is 100 gold coins, and the publication fee is 10 gold coins. The publication fee is non-refundable, regardless of whether the task is completed."
"I'll offer 1000 gold coins for the reward, kill four times!" Qian Xingtianxia said directly.
"For four times, we will break it down into four tasks, requiring a 40 gold coin publication fee and a 1000 gold coin reward. The reward will be divided into four parts, each 250 gold."
"The task duration is three days. If exceeded, the task difficulty will need to be reassessed, and the publication fee will need to be paid again."
"If the task is not completed by others, the reward will be refunded, but the publication fee is non-refundable."
The maid receptionist explained slowly.
"Alright!"
Qian Xingtianxia didn't hesitate, directly paying 1040 gold coins, and then said, "I want to kill another person."
Maid receptionist: "Please go ahead."
"Master of Life and Death!"
As soon as he said this.
Even Jiang Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
This was an assassination right in front of him!
Quite a bold move!
"Heh heh!"
Master of Life and Death also sneered.
"Is this the name?"
The maid receptionist's crystal ball displayed the words "Master of Life and Death."
"That's right!"
"Please wait."
The maid receptionist said, waiting several more seconds before smiling, "The target's assassination difficulty is B+ level. The minimum reward is 1500 gold coins, and the publication fee is 150 gold coins!"
"I must remind you that there are currently very few B+ level adventurers, and not many are qualified to take on this task."
"B+ level? 1500 gold coins? It's significantly higher than Zainxia Faye!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Xingtianxia's expression became more serious.
He knew Zainxia Faye's level and considered it strong, but he didn't expect it to be so much lower compared to Master of Life and Death!
Is this guy really that strong?
Qian Xingtianxia couldn't help but frown.
"What, scared?"
Master of Life and Death's voice came from behind.
"Scared?"
Qian Xingtianxia smirked and immediately said to the maid receptionist, "I'll offer 10,000 gold coins for the reward, also kill four times!"
"No problem, you need to pay a total of 600 gold coins for the publication fee and the reward."
The maid receptionist maintained her smile, very professional.
"Killing once for 2500 gold coins, money really isn't an issue!"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself, "Should I take the task?"
To be honest, he was tempted!
"You know, money works everywhere!"
Qian Xingtianxia looked at Master of Life and Death and said coldly, "I don't believe no one will come to kill you!"
"2500 gold coins for my life? I want to see who dares to come!"
Master of Life and Death was dismissive, his expression full of arrogance.
Jiang Chen knew this person had reason to be proud, as he was destined to become the top warrior in the national server!
However, now that there's a bounty on his head, even dying once, let alone four times, would have a significant impact.
The top spot in the national server might change hands.
Jiang Chen was really tempted; he wanted to take this task.
"Who dares to come? Heh, just wait, you'll see what it means for people to die for money!"
Qian Xingtianxia was confident that many would want to take this task, and once B+ level adventurers increased, it might turn into a siege!
That's why he offered such a high price.
"You wait too, I'll kill you 40 times!"
Master of Life and Death stared at Qian Xingtianxia for a good four or five seconds, then turned to Jiang Chen and said, "And you, with your airs, I'll make you put them down."
Why drag me into this?
Jiang Chen pursed his lips, too lazy to respond.
"Cousin, it's all a misunderstanding. I really like Mortal World, can't we..."
One Arrow, One Heart suddenly spoke, but before she could finish.
Master of Life and Death, who had been suppressing his anger, finally changed his expression and shouted angrily, "I'm doing this for you. He looks down on you, am I wrong to make him put down his airs?"
"Cousin?"
One Arrow, One Heart was stunned; it was the first time she had seen him so angry at her.
"Don't call me cousin, I hate that title! I've given you everything you wanted since childhood, not because I'm your cousin. Do you understand?"
Master of Life and Death erupted, his face twisted with rage.
"Cousin, what are you talking about? Why are you like this?"
One Arrow, One Heart was completely stunned; she didn't expect such a strong reaction and such words from him.
"I said I don't want to hear that word, get out!"
Master of Life and Death roared.
"You..."
One Arrow, One Heart looked at Master of Life and Death in disbelief, then turned and ran towards the door, eyes red.
The Assassin "One Slash, One Kill" immediately chased after her, trying to comfort her.
One Arrow, One Heart said nothing, just stood at the door, quietly wiping her tears.
At the door, there was comfort.
At the front desk, Master of Life and Death looked at Jiang Chen with a fierce gaze and said slowly, "I know you're strong, but I will kill you and then tell my cousin I'm stronger!"
"No need for so many reasons, just say you want to kill me!"
Jiang Chen smiled and walked up to the maid receptionist, saying, "I'll take the task."
"What task would you like to take?" the maid asked with a smile.
"The assassination task for 'Master of Life and Death' just now," Jiang Chen said.
"This task is B+ level, please show your adventurer badge," the maid receptionist smiled.
"Oh, I haven't registered for a badge yet, help me get one," Jiang Chen said immediately.
"Sorry, if you're registering for an adventurer badge for the first time, you won't be able to take this task."
The maid receptionist explained, "Because new adventurers start at E level."
"Want to kill me? Heh, your adventurer level isn't even enough!"
Master of Life and Death sneered from the side.
Jiang Chen ignored him and looked at the maid receptionist, saying, "Why don't you check my adventurer level?"
"Check? No problem."
The maid receptionist was momentarily stunned, then nodded.
She held the crystal, seemingly communicating with someone again.
After more than ten seconds.
She looked at Jiang Chen in shock, hardly believing it, and said, "Sir, you, you're an S-level adventurer?"
