Chapter 350: Chapter 331 Encountering an Ambush
Time: 8:12:06
Location: Goryeo War Zone, Xinquan City
In a dark and crowded alley, a group of players on high alert was gathered.
Outside the crowd, the leader of the Blood Red Battle Banner, the top guild in Goryeo, Cui Dongxu, looked somewhat impatiently at the only empty spot:
"Are you sure he logged off here?"
A player nearby quickly responded:
"President, I’m sure he logged off here, and I’m also sure he hasn’t logged back on since, sumida."
With the time for points redemption approaching, if he really is Feng Hua, then he would definitely log on before the redemption begins.
Hearing this, Cui Dongxu had no choice but to calm down and said:
"You better be sure it’s him, or you’re dead."
Standing around Cui Dongxu were the leaders of the top guilds in the Goryeo War Zone.
The high-level players ambushed around the alley all belonged to major guilds, and they were here specifically to hunt down Lin Yi!
Even at the risk of being wanted by the City Lord’s Mansion and going to jail.
In fact, if Lin Yi had been a bit more cautious, he should have logged off in a private room at a tavern.
Although it would cost quite a bit of gold coins, it would at least guarantee absolute safety.
Lin Yi probably never expected that even after hiding so well, he would still be discovered and tracked.
"Everyone, be careful. This guy can teleport and resurrect. Don’t give him a chance to strike, sumida."
Suddenly, a circle of white light appeared at that spot, and Cui Dongxu’s face darkened:
"Prepare."
"Attack!"
In an instant, dozens of high-level players lurking around simultaneously attacked, with magic and attacks showering down on the player who just appeared.
System: Triggered [Diona’s Legendary Chain] passive, restore 1% health, stealth for 10 seconds.
Lin Yi looked at the people around him bewildered...
As Lin Yi fell, someone immediately asked:
"Who got the kill notification?"
Almost simultaneously, replies echoed in the alley:
"No one."
"Then keep attacking. He must still be there."
"Damn it!"
Seeing another wave of attacks descending, Lin Yi had no time to think about what was happening and quickly used:
"Instant Teleportation"
The next moment, Lin Yi appeared around Cui Dongxu.
Cui Dongxu seemed to sense something and looked at where Lin Yi appeared, frowning:
"Someone, use the Holy Word Technique here."
Holy Word Technique: Can detect hidden targets within a certain range, a nemesis for thieves.
Lin Yi cursed inwardly:
Switch weapon
Activate skills:
"Arcane Mysterious Step"
Lin Yi dashed into a nearby shop at the fastest speed, and just as he moved, a light aura fell behind him and spread out.
Cui Dongxu looked at the empty area and thought: Is it an illusion?
Then Cui Dongxu stopped paying attention and angrily shouted at the people in the alley:
"Damn it, did you kill him or not?"
After continuously bombarding that area, the group exchanged looks, unsure if the person was dead or what had happened.
Cui Dongxu, seeing this, cursed angrily:
"Bunch of idiots!"
At this moment, no one dared to speak up, as this Feng Hua was indeed too elusive.
So many people failed to confirm his death, it would be laughable if word got out.
Suddenly, Yuna appeared outside the crowd in a rage:
"What are you guys doing?!"
Upon seeing Yuna, Cui Dongxu, for reasons unknown, said:
"Since he’s already dead, let’s withdraw."
As high-level players, no one was foolish.
Several people in the alley instantly pretended to be triumphant, spitting contemptuously at the area, saying:
"Hua Country’s number one, is nothing special."
"Damn it, he died before I even got serious, really weak."
"Exactly, boring, let’s go."
Subsequently, they shuffled out of the alley and left.
"You guys!"
Having just received the news and rushed over, Yuna fumed at this scene.
Cui Dongxu’s voice suddenly came from behind:
"Yuna, are you going to oppose us for an outsider?"
Seeing the irreversible situation, Yuna had to suppress her anger and left.
Watching Yuna leave, Cui Dongxu’s face turned grim as he ordered:
"Keep searching for him."
Even Park Renyong, the president of the Wind Ranger Guild, dared not breathe loudly before an infuriated Cui Dongxu and had to stand silently by.
This scene unfolded before the surrounding players, including Lin Yi, who had changed into different equipment and was hiding in the crowd.
Lin Yi looked grimly at the departing figures, never expecting to be ambushed here.
At this time, Lin Yi had no desire to pursue who exposed his location, realizing that his situation would be very dangerous from now on.
Now Lin Yi only wanted to complete his task quickly and head back, as turmoil had erupted in Hua Country due to the disbandment of the Luoshen.
Feeling guilty for not keeping the promise to provide support, Lin Yi regretted his absence at the time, thinking the situation might have been better with his presence.
But alas, there are no regret pills in this world, and all Lin Yi could do was hurry back to investigate the matter.
Lost in thought, Lin Yi had to disguise himself as an ordinary player, slowly making his way to the activity plaza of Xinquan City.
Points redemption was about to start, and Lin Yi had to exchange the points he earned yesterday.
Currently, Lin Yi had a staggering 36,000 points (with all three pet kills credited to him). In his previous life, Lin Yi participated in this event for the first time at over level 40.
Even after fighting tooth and nail, he only managed to earn a little over 4,000 points, which was less than a fraction of what he had now.
With these over 30,000 points, Lin Yi estimated he might be able to snag two to three pieces of legendary equipment or rare pet eggs.
At this moment, if there was anywhere bustling with excitement, it had to be this activity plaza.
The points redemption was set to start at 9 o’clock. Although it was still not 8:30 yet, the place was already teeming with people.
Due to the excessive crowd, the system had already implemented a frequency-splitting process, and Lin Yi was assigned to channel 8.
The rewards for points redemption were divided into two tiers: ordinary rewards and rare rewards.
Ordinary rewards came in a wide variety, and players could redeem them directly with the activity ambassador.
Rare rewards were divided into three categories: legendary equipment, rare pets, and rare mounts, with 20 of each.
Among them, rare pets had the highest value, legendary equipment was defined based on attributes, and rare mounts were next.
This meant that among the millions of players, only sixty people could own one of these rewards.
After all, redemption was done via points auction, and under normal circumstances, no one could have enough points to redeem more than two items.
Lin Yi might become an exception here.
In the center of the activity plaza was a gigantic display screen, where detailed information of equipment/mounts/pets would be shown one by one for players to bid on.
The three items would be displayed and auctioned in three rounds, each with a 10-minute bidding time.
Once the time is up, the highest bidder wins.
Under the auction rules, players could choose to bid anonymously or not.
Unless something unexpected happened, with Lin Yi’s current points, he should be able to get three or four items.
