Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

Lingye's weapon is a plain horizontal sword called "Great Wilderness Flying Snow," with the additional skill "Stormy Slash."

Just as Shen Yubai and Tang Yunxi witnessed in the bonus match, when he was on the verge of death, he used his skill to consecrate his sword with blood and gained berserk power for a period of time.

During this period, Lingye will fall into a state of irrationality, unable to distinguish friend from foe, but at the same time, almost no ghosts or monsters can get close to him.

That's why he was able to fight his way from one end of the street to the other, slaying hundreds of high-level zombies until the rescue arrived.

Such an overpowered skill naturally comes with a corresponding price. According to Du Songzi, whenever Ling Ye uses Storm Slash in a game, the skill will be sealed in the next game, and his mental and physical condition will decline until the next game.

Du Songzi knew this weakness, and so did He Rui, the captain of the Hunter Time and Space team.

"He Rui put in a lot of effort to invite Brother Ling into the team. Brother Ling trained many newcomers for him. It's fair to say that without Brother Ling, the team wouldn't have reached its current level and fame," Du Songzi said in a low voice. "But he's very jealous. In the past two years, Brother Ling's prestige within the team has gradually surpassed his, so he started forming cliques to ostracize Brother Ling. Zhang Xin and Qi Chuan were both in his faction. Later, after this bonus tournament, the two sides completely parted ways. He hated Brother Ling to the point of madness and wanted to eliminate any future trouble, so he issued a kill order."

Yi Zanglan rested her chin on her hand, and upon hearing this, glanced at Yan Zhao expressionlessly.

"A kill order? Was what the Winter Squad did to you back then a kill order?"

"Tch, what kind of kill order is that? It's just showing off on the forum, making a splash, trying to get some popularity for your team, without spending a penny." Yan Zhao scoffed. "Issuing a kill order in the system lobby is a privilege for Grandmasters and above. The system will set the price based on the overall strength of the target. I guess someone like Wild King would cost at least five or six million."

"He's quite valuable."

"...Is that the point?" Yan Zhao nudged Yi Zanglan and continued to explain, "After the formalities are completed, the system will randomly select a group of players of the same rank to issue kill orders, just like a lottery. Players who receive the message can choose whether to accept it. When the jungler's next game comes, the system will randomly match players based on the number of players."

"If any of them kills the jungler in the game, they will receive the six million bounty, as well as all the current puzzle pieces of the jungler—you should know that killing players in a normal game doesn't bring any extra benefits; this is a special rule of the kill order."

Six million, plus a large number of rare puzzle pieces—how attractive is this reward?

In other words, He Rui was putting Ling Ye in a very difficult position, forcing him to face a pack of wolves-like master players in the game when he was at his weakest.

A desperate struggle, the most hopeless and humiliating way for Ling Ye to die.

Yi Zanglan remained silent for a long time before asking Du Songzi, "Was the kill order issued secretly? Did you also receive the kill order notification?"

"The system didn't detect me because a former team member told me. She overheard He Rui's conversation with someone else," Du Songzi sighed helplessly. "Actually, many members of the team didn't want Ling Ge to leave, but it's too late now, and there's nothing they can do about it."

"Can't you go with Lingye?"

"He definitely can't go with him," Yan Zhao answered for him. "The system will automatically detect players who frequently team up with or have close relationships with the jungler and disable their team-up permissions. Otherwise, if all his close friends join in to help him, the matchmaking pool will be full, and what kind of kill order would that be?"

Tang Yunxi finally understood: "So, Brother Du, you want Lanlan to go into the game to save the jungler?"

Du Songzi nodded: "After thinking it over, the only player who can rival those Grandmaster players and has no apparent connection with Brother Ling is Sister Yi."

After all, Yi Zanglan has only met Ling Ye once so far, at the No. 8 venue. Ling Ye has not yet joined her team, so the system will not specifically shut down her permissions. She can easily sign him into the next game.

"When will that jungler join the game?"

"tomorrow."

"...Wow, that's fast. If someone wants to sign into the other team's matchmaking, their priority should be higher than a kill order, right?"

"It's likely no problem for one person, but if too many people want to sign up, the system will definitely impose restrictions."

Yi Zanglan hadn't finished her half-cup of coffee, and it had already gone cold on the table. Her eyes gradually turned cold, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Hearing Yan Zhao suddenly sigh, "Logically speaking, you and Ye Wang are old acquaintances, so you should definitely go, but that's a high-level dungeon after all, and you'll have to fight against a group of master players with a strong desire to kill—how about I try to sign in too?"

"No need. If you don't have any other plans, go and accompany Lao Shen through the qualifying rounds, and also get used to your new weapon."

"and you……"

"I'm going to the system lobby."

Just before leaving, Yi Zanglan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Du Songzi.

"Does Ling Ye know that he has been put on a kill order?"

"I know, I told Brother Ling." Du Songzi wasn't good at lying, so she could only tell the truth. "He was worried about causing you trouble, and he originally planned to handle it himself before coming back to see you, but I was really worried, so he took it upon himself to do it."

Yi Zanglan snorted coldly, said nothing more, and walked out of the perfume shop without looking back.

The door slammed shut with a loud bang, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

Du Songzi looked slightly uneasy: "Did I say something wrong and make Sister Yi angry?"

"...It's not your fault." Yan Zhao casually patted his shoulder. "You did a great job. You're the Wild King. This should have been communicated to Lanlan in the first place."

"Brother Ling also has his own concerns."

"Whatever his concerns, he should discuss it with Lanlan first. What if he dies inside such a dangerous situation?"

"..."

Shen Yubai gave Yan Zhao a look, signaling her to be a little more tactful in her wording, and then he explained to Du Songzi in a softer tone.

"You'll understand later. This is our team culture. To become a close comrade-in-arms of Lanlan, it's one thing to demonstrate your value, but another is to absolutely trust her and respect her decisions. If you choose her as your captain but still get hurt within her protection, and this situation is entirely avoidable, then you'll anger her."

Juniper seemed to understand, but also seemed not quite, looking a little confused.

"It's okay, you haven't interacted with Lanlan much yet, it's normal that you don't understand," Tang Yunxi said. "But hasn't Ye Wang known Lanlan for a long time? How come he still doesn't understand this?"

Yan Zhao and Shen Yubai exchanged a glance, and without any apparent understanding, they spoke in unison.

He will understand.

Judging from Yi Zanglan's demeanor just now, this time he signed into the team to give a surprise to a certain jungler surnamed Ling.

If the other party still cannot understand this principle, verbal communication is useless, although the chieftain does have some martial arts skills.
