This assassin is upright

Chapter 174: Brand new [Open and aboveboard] (12 monthly tickets added in December)

Under the reflection of the colorful light, Yu Zhun's expression was tense and he seemed extremely nervous.

Zhu Xiuming, who was standing next to him, seemed calm and composed, but his hands behind his back had already been clenched quietly.

It was after the second transformation that Zhu Xiuming first came into contact with a precious item like [Myth Fragment].

After the second transformation, [Myth Fragments] can certainly improve talents to a certain extent, but they no longer have an impact on the second transformation.

So Zhu Xiuming weighed the pros and cons again and again and finally did not use it until this moment when he gave this extremely precious [Myth Fragment] to Yu Zhun.

To Zhu Xiuming, it is also unknown how much improvement this [Myth Fragment] can bring to Yu Zhun.

In the tense atmosphere, the colorful light slowly dissipated.

Lines of text popped up in front of Yu Zhun's eyes.

[Congratulations on completing the increase in your professional talent! ]

[Open and aboveboard (SSS level): Open and aboveboard assassination will cause 100% one-hit kill effect on the target (HP is forced to 0), only applicable to targets in hostile state]

↓

[Open and aboveboard (Level 1): Complete the assassination openly and aboveboard, causing a 100% one-hit kill effect on the target (HP is forced to return to 0), only applicable to targets in a hostile state]

"How is it? Has there been any change in talent?" Zhu Xiuming asked impatiently.

As Yu Zhun looked at his new talent, his expression gradually became strange.

If you say there is no change, there is change.

only…

The changes are less obvious.

First of all, the talent level has changed from SSS to X1, which should be a talent level above SSS and can only be achieved by using [Myth Fragments].

Secondly, there are changes in talent descriptions.

The original "carry out the assassination openly" became "complete the assassination openly".

As for the most critical one-hit-kill effect, there is no change at all.

After much thought, the biggest possibility Yu Zhun thought of was that the triggering conditions for this talent had changed.

Previously, Yu Zhun summarized the four conditions that need to be met to trigger [Open and aboveboard]:

First, give your name and announce the assassination.

Second, you can only use profession-specific weapons for assassination.

Third, the entire assassination process must not be out of the opponent's perception.

Fourth, during the assassination, you must not lie or fail to answer any questions asked by the target.

These four conditions are actually restrictions on talent.

I wonder how many conditions are left for [Openness and Honesty], which has been enhanced once?
"Senior, my talent description hasn't changed much, but the level has become X1." Yu Zhun briefly described his situation. "I think it's probably because the triggering conditions of the talent have changed."

"That's right, your talent is one-hit-kill, which is a little different from the normal talent." Zhu Xiuming touched his chin, "X1 level..."

"Alright, I'll leave then." Zhu Xiuming waved his hand at Yu Zhun, "I don't know much about the talent enhancement of [Myth Fragments]. It's up to you to research what to do next."

"Or, you can pay a certain price and get the answer through the [God and Demon Shop]."

"【God and Demon Shop】..."

Yu Zhun thought for a moment, "Thank you, senior!"

"Oh, right." Zhu Xiuming paused for a moment, "Your sister has already passed the 30th level of the Netherworld."

Just like when Yu Zhun entered the [Netherworld Abyss] and obtained the World God and Demon Medal, Zhu Xiuming was notified. At this moment, Yu Zhu entered the [Netherworld Abyss] and was also under his watch.

"Is it already the thirtieth floor?" Yu Zhun was shocked, and a hint of nervousness and anticipation appeared in his eyes.

This little girl is trying to tie my own record.

Looking at Zhu Xiuming's departing back, Yu Zhun smiled expectantly.

Next, let’s try to see what changes there are in the conditions for triggering his talent.

After trying it, I just happened to meet Yu Zhuzhu who was leaving the copy.
-
The Netherworld, the 31st floor.

As the third to last layer of the [Netherworld Abyss], there are only two magnificent golden light pillars, located on both sides of the abyss.

"Om-"

Accompanied by a low tremor, one of the golden light beams quickly faded from gold to white.

This means that the boss guarding the teleportation array under the light column has been killed.

Under the white beam of light, Yu Zhu and Lai'er cheered and high-fived.

"Great! We finally surpassed the other team!"

"Hmm!" Lair looked out the window and saw a golden beam of light on the other side.

Although both of them act later, one has nuclear explosion [healing] and the other has light speed percentage damage.

With their amazing efficiency, the two women finally caught up.

There were many crises in this process, but they were all resolved with their increasingly tacit cooperation.

"Come on, let's go to the next floor first!"

Yu Zhu hugged Lai'er's arm and rushed to the teleportation array excitedly, "Let's see if we can steal the Boss on the 32nd floor!"

On the 32nd floor, there is only one teleportation array and a boss.

Logically speaking, the two of them and the other party they have been secretly competing with will meet on the next level and engage in a bloody fight.

But Yu Zhu and Lai'er were very efficient in clearing the area.

So, they can try stealing chickens.

If the boss hasn't arrived by the time you get there...

Then don’t blame them for not having martial ethics!

The two figures quickly disappeared into the teleportation array on the 31st floor.

About a minute later, another golden beam of light on the 31st floor turned white.

In front of the teleportation array corresponding to the light column, a gloomy-faced young man looked at the light column on the other side that had turned white and couldn't help muttering.

"Who is that guy on the other side?"

He was clearly the first to reach the 31st floor, but the opponent managed to kill him much earlier than him.

This gave the boy a sense of urgency.

"I have to be faster." The young man couldn't help but tighten his grip on the staff in his hand, "I must become the eighth son of God!"

The First Hundred Gods Zone has a unified standard for God-level players.

Only players who have cleared the [Netherworld Abyss] can be called God-level players.

"Only by becoming the Son of God can I kill the Son of God, and only then can I avenge my parents." A crazy and terrifying figure emerged in his mind, and the boy's eyes became extremely sharp.

"Early, I will never let you go!"

The young man stepped firmly onto the teleportation array. Above his head, there were two lines of blood-red text.

【Server No. 24】

[Alvin, Lv30]
-
"treat!"

【Life-12035520】

With Yu Zhu's casual pointing, the Boss on the 32nd floor, whose health was reduced by Lai'er's light-speed combo, fell to the ground with a bang.

Lail could not help being amazed.

Before today, she always felt that the limitation of her talent, "cannot be healed by others", was too much.

Now she suddenly felt that it was great to have this restriction.

As for Yu Zhu's [Treatment], who at the same level can withstand it!

Twelve million lives, anyone would die on the spot!
"Let's go, Lai'er!" Yu Zhu waved at Lai'er who was in a daze, "Let's go to the last floor."

"Oh!" Lail quickly came to his senses, and then became a little worried, "Will the last level be difficult?"

"Should we get some more shields?"

"No need." Yu Zhu sighed, "The last layer has nothing to do with the shield."

"Let's just go directly."

"Really?" Lail scratched his head.

She knew nothing about the [Netherworld Abyss], but Yu Zhu did.

So, it’s right to listen to Yu Zhu.

"Okay, then let's..." Lai'er was about to follow Yu Zhu onto the teleportation array, but his expression suddenly changed and he looked solemnly towards the direction of the palace gate.

"You guys..." Looking at the fallen Boss, Alvin tightened his grip on the sword, "Stop right there!"

"The final boss can only be killed by me!"

Alvin's face was gloomy and his eyes were red.

He must defeat the Boss on the 33rd floor and clear the level. He must become the Son of God!
No one can stop him!
Without any hesitation, Alvin shouted angrily and rushed towards the two women.

"Group healing!"

Yu Zhu activated the skill that he had not used just now without hesitation.

【Life-10453】

【Life-10453】

Two red words appeared above Alvin's head.

"Huh?" Yu Zhu was stunned for a moment.

【Group Healing】is effective.

Not only that, the helmet equipment effect [Echo] also takes effect, and [Group Healing] has two skill effects on the target.

However, the health points reduced by the skill are far lower than expected.

It’s the life value deduction limit!
Judging from the ratio, the single deduction should not exceed 10% of the maximum health value.

Such restrictions are very disadvantageous to Yu Zhu!
Yu Zhu's expression tensed and he couldn't help but look at Lai'er.

Lai'er's talent just happened to restrain the opponent.

Looking at the charging opponent, Lair tightened the dagger in his hand.

The other party’s server serial number is so eye-catching.

Server No. 24, a double-digit server, corresponds to a world whose strength is far beyond the reach of her world.

The voice of her sister Udyr once again echoed in her mind.

“When we are out there, our words, actions, and deeds can have a huge impact on our world.”

"Laiel, we must focus on self-protection and keep a low profile."

Self-protection... low profile...

"I'm sorry, sister." Lail murmured in a low voice, "I am willing to take responsibility for my choice."

"Yu Zhu, you can deal with the next level's Boss by yourself, right?" Lair said softly.

"Of course you can, but..." Yu Zhu hesitated to speak.

"Go to the next floor quickly!" The dagger spun in Lail's hand, and she pounced on Alvin like a cheetah.

"Here, leave it to me!"

"Inspire!"

"Warming up!"

Yu Zhu used two skills on Alvin fiercely, and the light of his boots flashed slightly.

Boots equipment effect [Reset], activate!

Immediately refresh all skill cooldowns, effective only once per battle!
"treat!"

【Life-10453】

Helmet equipment effect [Refreshing], activated!

Using any skill has a 20% chance to immediately refresh the skill's cooldown!
"Warming up!"

"treat!"

【Life-10453】

【Life-10453】

Helmet equipment effect [Echo], activated!

Using any skill has a 30% chance of causing the skill effect to the target twice!
Looking at the two people fighting in close combat, Yu Zhu continued to attack.

"Inspire!"

"Group healing!"

【Life-10453】

【Life-10453】

Helmet equipment effect [Echo], activated again!

Using any skill has a 30% chance of causing the skill effect to the target twice!
In that brief moment, Yu Zhu used seven spells in succession, taking away 70% of Alvin's health and reducing his attack speed by 600%.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

Lair emptied the opponent's health bar at the speed of light, watched him fall to the ground in despair, and turned into a point of light and dissipated. He looked back at Yu Zhu in a daze.

No, sister, is this a skill or a normal attack? !
Why do I feel that your attack speed is not slower than mine?

"But there's no need." Yu Zhu slowly continued the second half of the sentence he had not finished before.

“It can be done in seconds.”

Lail: “…”

So what on earth was she feeling so moved about just now?

This is a pervert!

"Let's go, we'll go to the 33rd floor together." Yu Zhu smiled and accepted the spoils that Alvin had obtained along the way, and took Lai'er's hand.

"Take a look at the boss on the thirty-third floor, so that when someone comes to your world in the future, you can be more prepared."

“…Yeah.” Lai’er looked at Yu Zhu with a complicated expression, “Yu Zhu, you’re so nice.”

"Of course, I'm great!"
-
"Are you ready?"

In the main hall of the [Killing God] Guild, Yu Zhun looked at Su Hong who was standing not far away and took a deep breath.

Su Hong carefully checked the equipment he was wearing and confirmed that three or more of the five pieces of equipment had life-saving effects. He then asked Su Yue to add a layer of [Resurrection Blessing] to him and nodded heavily.

"Ready!"

"Let's begin." Yu Zhun walked towards Su Hong step by step, holding a dagger.

Su Hong coughed lightly and took a piece of paper prepared in advance by the guild members who were grinning evilly.

"Yu Zhun, do you like men or women?"

The guild members couldn't help laughing, and Sarath puffed out his chest proudly, indicating that this question was his own work.

But the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Yu Zhun, do you think Sarath is a sissy?"

The members laughed even louder, and Sarath, who had been holding his head high, glared around, trying to find the hateful guy who had slandered him.

What's the matter with effeminate or not? This is intolerable!
Su Yue covered her mouth and smiled secretly, looking around with a wandering gaze, trying hard to pretend that this question was not asked by her.

But the next moment...

"Yu Zhun, who do you think asked this question to Su Yue's wife...wait?!" Brother-in-law Su Hong was furious, "No smuggling!"

Su Yue's pretty face flushed red as she glared at the people who were snickering, "Tomorrow's cake is gone!"

"Yu Zhun, do you think the little dinosaur is cute?"

Everyone looked at Sheila.

The owner of the problem is too obvious!
"Yu Zhun, you like Ji..."

"The test is over!"

Yu Zhun walked up to Su Hong and touched Su Hong's chest with his dagger in annoyance.

We shouldn't have asked these guys from the guild for help.

What kind of questions are these?

Fortunately, he didn't need to answer.

Su Hong's health bar was instantly emptied, and his life-saving equipment locked his health. He smiled as if nothing had happened, "It's a pity that I didn't finish my question."

"President, do you want to do another test?"

"Definitely in the next life." Yu Zhun rolled his eyes.

As the last test was completed, he confirmed the changes that had taken place in his own enhanced talents.

Of the four conditions that originally existed, only two remain:
First, give your name and announce the assassination.

Second, you can only use profession-specific weapons for assassination.

Putting away the dagger, Yu Zhun pointed at Su Hong and said, "Su Yue, don't stand there. Hurry up and give your brother a sip of milk."

"Coming, coming~"

Su Yue responded and withdrew her teasing look from the rich woman.

"Why is it so lively?"

Yu Zhu, who had just come out of the copy, poked his head out, rushed to Yu Zhun and pointed at the title of [Lord of the Netherworld] above his head.

"Yu Zhun, tell me I'm awesome!"
