Crossover: Is this how it's sewn?

Chapter 44, Section 042: The Lost Zhao Yingkong

Zhao Yingkong didn't know whether to contact the Zhao family first or hide herself.

If I return to the Zhao family, I can gain their support, grow stronger quickly, and have a group of family members with whom I have a rather distant relationship. However, I might also become a weapon of the family.

She checked her pockets and found no money. That wasn't a big deal; even a hero can be brought down by a penny. But she was a woman, and more importantly, an assassin. She had many ways to make money.

I've found a job with a foreign woman named Ada Wong: assassinate the 77th strongest person on the global rankings. The reward is generous; all you have to do is test the opponent's strength. You'll get ten million US dollars for each successful attack, up to a maximum of one hundred attacks. I'll support the assassination.

Upon seeing her teammates, Zhao Yingkong spoke first: "This Xu Zhenqing is very strong, and since we're in China, it's impossible to deploy heavy firepower. Our goal is to engage him directly. Do you have any objections?"

"Wow, little beauty, you're really big." Ada Wong looked at the other woman's chest, shocked by its size, and then teased her.

Zhao Yingkong's pretty face flushed slightly because the other party had actually made a move on her, and she couldn't help but curse the other party as a female hooligan in her heart.

Swatting away the other person's restless hand, Zhao Yingkong said seriously, "I'm going to test whether you're qualified to be my teammate."

Upon hearing this, Ada Wong clenched her fists and launched a sneak attack. Due to her slight dragon bloodline and her mastery of some special martial arts, her methods were exceptionally ruthless.

"I was prepared for this." Zhao Yingkong's expression remained unchanged. Her special fingernails were like blades. After making a fist, she cut through the opponent's flesh, seemingly exposing the bone.

Their breathing quickened as more oxygen replenished their muscles. Ada Wong stomped her foot, and the heel of her high heel broke off, revealing a sharp dagger. A scorpion tail stabbed towards Zhao Yingkong's face.

Zhao Yingkong dodged the sword from the sole of the opponent's shoe, and seeing that Ada Wong had rolled away to avoid her leg strike, she decided to stop while she was ahead and did not pursue.

"The Eastern assassin family lives up to its reputation. Let's test our marksmanship." Ada Wong used her strength to seal the veins on her wrist. She hadn't expected this little girl to be so skilled in close combat, so she tossed her a pistol.

"Your wrist is injured, there's no point in comparing like this." Zhao Yingkong took the pistol and answered calmly after hearing Ada Wong's suggestion.

"Fine, you've seen my strength. This mission isn't just for our team, so we'll leave it to you to decide what to do," Ada Wong said helplessly while bandaging her wounds.

"Clap clap clap!"

Tang Zichen, dressed in training clothes, clapped as she walked over, which made Zhao Yingkong's eyes change. Because of the assassin family's information network, she knew that Tang Zichen had a mentor-student relationship with Xu Zhenqing.

But Zhao Yingkong remained calm, subconsciously believing it was a coincidence.

In fact, the moment Zhao Yingkong went online, the Red Queen had already locked onto her information and then planned this scheme.

There was more than one group that tried to assassinate Xu Zhenqing. Many people killed each other before they even saw Xu Zhenqing in person, due to the machinations of the Red Queen. The few who did see Xu Zhenqing were either clones or doubles.

The main goal is to prevent any trouble from coming to the homeowner.

Therefore, Zhao Yingkong subconsciously thought that Xu Zhenqing was just setting a trap, and silently mourned for Ada Wong, believing that she was being manipulated, but she didn't know that she herself was also one of the prey.

Tang Zichen carefully taught them Xu Zhenqing's daily routine and let them do as they pleased. Seeing how this girl and woman had been subtly divided, she couldn't help but sigh at how deep Xu Zhenqing's schemes were. No wonder she was able to rise to power by living off a woman.

……

When Xu Zhenqing woke up, he looked at the new maid beside him and casually asked, "Is dinner ready?"

Zhao Yingkong, dressed as a maid, pushed a small food cart over and said in a crisp voice, "Young Master, your breakfast."

Without provoking the other party, Xu Zhenqing ate his meal in silence. He recognized Zhao Yingkong and immediately realized that this was the Red Queen's arrangement. Although he had planned to contact Zhao Yingkong, he did not expect this scene.

Xu Zhenqing's daily life and meals were arranged by the Red Queen. Butler Wolf had returned to the United States to continue managing the Marcus family's assets and to assist Alicia.

Our defenses are still too weak. If someone breaks through the Red Queen, won't we be cut in half?

Although Xu Zhenqing possessed the Way of Sincerity, he could foresee danger and sense its approach.

However, there are countless unpredictable methods in the universe, so we must be wary.

It should be noted that the final boss in Qin Emperor died because of love and romance. It would be too ridiculous for him to be defeated so unexpectedly.

Having made up his mind, Xu Zhenqing walked to the computer and said to Zhao Yingkong, "Since you're here, you should know my requirements. Let's play a couple of games to see how you are."

Zhao Yingkong obediently walked to the computer, skillfully opened Sword Art Online, and began sparring with Xu Zhenqing.

The two then engaged in friendly competition regarding a series of games, including Honor of Kings and StarCraft.

Even major titles like Black Myth: Wukong, Black Myth: Pigsy, and Black Myth: Tang Sanzang have all been made available online. These games started as single-player games and have since evolved into multiplayer versions, with Journey to the West being one of them.

"You're having a good time." Xu Zhenqing was pleasantly surprised. This assassin girl with a baby face and big breasts had this skill. Still not satisfied, he took out the virtual pod.

The Virtual Vault is a gift from the United Nations General Assembly to the most powerful beings in each tier, and it is available in limited quantities worldwide.

Xu Zhenqing's device is specially modified; it can easily be used by two or three people. I wonder what the United Nations General Assembly would think if they knew that Xu Zhenqing used the virtual pod given to him to hone his skills to play games.

The latest novel is first published here!

Lying in the same virtual pod, Zhao Yingkong was a little curious. They were logged into none other than the latest blockbuster, the Three-Body Problem game.

"We'll start in an ancient world. I won't say more, you'll find out soon enough. Spoilers would ruin the fun," Xu Zhenqing said excitedly. The virtual pod arrived yesterday, and the modifications were done by Red Queen this morning.

Zhao Yingkong looked at the changing world before her, somewhat shocked; everything she could perceive, and everything else, felt incredibly real.

"Stop looking, this place is really like this. Anything you can do in the real world, you can do here too. Don't worry about me, you can do whatever you want."

Welcome to the Three-Body Problem game.

[Generating a body based on real-world data... Generation complete.]

Please begin your game.

These words reminded Zhao Ying of the Main God Space. If she hadn't known that she was conscious at the time, she would have thought that she had been knocked unconscious and thrown into a virtual pod.

"This world isn't just about us players; there are also some veteran players disguised as NPCs who will be lurking among us. You'll see when the time comes."

"That's incredible."

"That would be really interesting if we could bring those fantasy games into the virtual world."

"OK."

As Xu Zhenqing spoke with Zhao Yingkong, he mentally proclaimed, "Destroy human tyranny! The world belongs to the Trisolarans!"

I solemnly declare that if it conflicts with the previous plot, there is really no way to fix it unless we start over.
