The male supporting character was actually myself.

……

It's unclear what the situation is like on the ground, but the news that Tiannanxing is publicly recruiting members has once again stirred up a buzz on the world channel.

Mu Heng, an introverted and shy man with a very low profile, asked timidly, "You also give out gold coins when recruiting members?"

With 55 people, that's a guaranteed minimum of 550,000 gold coins per month.

That adds up to over 50,000 yuan!

Jiang Chen, carrying the knife, tilted his head and gestured for him to teleport, saying, "This is an online game; individual heroism is definitely not an option."

Once we've built up our team, we'll have even more ways to make money!

"We'll officially start in ten minutes. Let's go check things out."

Kunlun Terrace is a PK arena located deep in the mountains in the northwest corner of the main human city—the capital. It is a favorite place for belligerent individuals.

The characters in the game are divided into humans, elves, demons, and monsters, each with their own unique classes and skills.

Currently, the equipment and weapons in the game are all general-purpose, meaning one piece of equipment can be used by multiple races. As levels and various dungeons gradually unlock, equipment and weapon updates will become more refined.

There aren't many outfits available in the store, so apart from differences in appearance and race, most players look pretty much the same.

The Azure Dragons worn by Jiang Chen and Mu Heng were particularly eye-catching.

Wherever he went, players would stop and watch, and every now and then a leveling fanatic who was oblivious to everything else would ask him a few questions.

"Hey, it's the great Tian Nanxing!"

The journey from the capital to Kunlun Terrace is not short, and most of it is in the wilderness.

On a winding path in a mountain shrouded in mist, we encountered six players with dark blue IDs.

The leading berserker greedily examined his equipment and chuckled, "We only kill red-named players. Stay away from that white-named kid. Don't blame me if you get caught in the crossfire and die."

Little White immediately bristled, looking even rounder and fatter, and jumped from the dragon's head onto its host's shoulder.

One small paw was on its hip; the other small paw pointed at the group that was obviously a team, and shouted: "Host, they're trying to rob us! Crack them down!"

As he was being stopped, Jiang Chen was staring at the other person with shining eyes.

The Berserker and Fighting-type units with high HP and close range should be positioned at the front.

In the middle are a magic user, a gunslinger, and a dark-type demon, most likely an assassin or a shadow.

Finally, the most vulnerable support for the entire team is the medic.

It's clear this is a team that specializes in killing players with red names (indicating high rank or negative status); they have excellent equipment and great teamwork.

Worth it!

"Robbery?" Jiang Chen chuckled. "Of course, let's have each person pay a deposit of five hundred first."

Chapter Fourteen: What were they trying to do by blocking the road?

The six members of the Blue Name gang looked at each other, and the last one, a medical student, even slowly typed out a question mark.

"Hahaha!" The berserker drew his sword and laughed loudly, "Young brother, you need to understand the situation. We're the ones who want to kill you and make us pay? Who gave you that audacity?"

Xiaobai: ━━∑(￣R￣*|||━━

Host, what kind of trick is this?

Mu Heng was also stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lu Jiangchen meant.

"My strength doesn't allow me to be low-key." Jiang Chen explained seriously, "The deposit of 500 gold coins per person is to be returned to you if you are killed and lose your equipment later."

Your equipment looks pretty good; you could probably sell it for tens of thousands of gold coins.

A 500 deposit can get you tens of thousands of gold coins—that's a great deal!

The Blue Name team exchanged glances and burst into laughter, looking at Tian Nanxing as if she were an idiot.

The user with the ID "Slap in the Face" gave a cold and indifferent message: "Don't waste your breath on him, just beat him up and call it a day."

Before he could finish speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared, only to reappear next to Jiang Chen the next second, hurling the dagger in his hand!

"Damn it! They actually attacked from behind!" The little white cat was startled and jumped onto its host's other shoulder, sticking out its little head and spitting.

Jiang Chen, riding on the Azure Dragon, leaned back to dodge the dagger attack. The next second, he put away his mount and jumped down from mid-air, unleashing a critical strike with his magnificent greatsword!

Assassins are highly agile and rely on surprise attacks; their health bars are not very thick.

The attack power of the legendary weapon is already high, and when it hits a critical hit, the opposing team's healers have no time to react and heal.

The two exchanged only one move before the assassin fell to the ground, dead.

The six-person team worked together seamlessly, with the medical staff using their skills to save lives;

The ranged attacks from magic users and gunners were already coming towards him; the berserkers and melee fighters attacked from the left and right.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Holy crap..." The assassin, who had just been knocked down, was waiting for his teammate's resurrection skill to cast when he suddenly found himself airborne!

He screamed in terror, but only managed to utter half a sentence before crashing head-on into two sturdy bodies.

"Gudong!"

After blocking a wave of magic attacks and hitting his teammate, the assassin's resurrection cast finally finished. He climbed off the berserker and cursed, "Is this how you fight?"

Can't you at least show some respect for the corpse?

"I'm already dead, and you still throw me up to take bullets for me? Don't I have any dignity?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a dazzling light before his eyes, and the next second he was lying on the ground again.

assassin:……

Gan!

After being resurrected, both his red and blue bars were at their lowest levels, and he didn't even have time to use a red potion.

He was caught in the blast of Tiannanxing's ultimate move and was knocked down again.

The nearest Berserker and Fighting-type weren't much better off. They had just rushed into their attack range and hadn't even used their skills when they were knocked down by the "corpses" thrown at them by their teammates. Tian Nanxing immediately unleashed a group attack skill centered on the Fighting-type with the most HP.

He'd finish the job and then immediately deliver the final blow.

The melee class was instantly killed by a powerful attack; the Berserker was also stabbed to death by a follow-up attack before he could even get up.

The battle happened so fast that Mu Heng, who was hiding in the back, was completely bewildered.

All that could be seen was a flurry of flashing swords and shadows, and three enemies on the other side were already dead. The healers were busy saving lives, while the gunners and mages rushed to the rescue.

"Wow!" Little White's eyes lit up with pink hearts, and she covered her mouth with her little paws, exclaiming in surprise, "Host, you're amazing! I love you so much! I must learn from you, please, Host, teach me how to play games!"

Dodging the magic-based attack, Jiang Chen activated his mount, flipped onto the Azure Dragon, and charged towards the enemy's three remaining ranged attackers.

In a few breaths, he flew up and put away his mount. He then jumped down from mid-air with his greatsword and slashed at the most vulnerable healer who was busy saving lives!

Ranged classes, once they are caught in close combat and unable to create distance, will only be easily defeated.

Even the healer's group invincibility skill couldn't be cast properly, and the captain, the Berserker, couldn't revive him; he himself also collapsed.

Amidst a chorus of curses and swears, Jiang Chen finished the fight, slung his broadsword over his shoulder, and began leisurely picking up the items that had fallen to the ground.

In the game, the drop rate after being killed is linked to the player's evil or righteous values.

Red-named characters have a higher drop rate; blue-named characters have a much lower drop rate in comparison.

Teams like theirs, which specialize in killing red-named players, have IDs that have turned dark blue. Even if they are killed, they rarely lose equipment; usually, items in their inventory are randomly dropped.

After collecting several hundred gold coins and a pile of useless herbs and stones, Jiang Chen pulled out a glittering talisman from under the "corpse" and laughed, "Look, you wouldn't pay up, now you've lost money, haven't you?"

"Damn it!" The assassin, who had been killed twice, was heartbroken.

That was a guaranteed success item for upgrading equipment that I finally managed to get from a lottery ticket!

Listing it on the Treasure Pavilion trading website can fetch at least 20,000 gold coins. After all, upgrading equipment is a money-burning and luck-dependent activity. Players will prepare a success charm if they want to upgrade any decent equipment.

He spent all his time hunting birds, only to have one bird peck his eye!

This interception was a huge loss!

I originally thought that Tian Nanxing was only good at fighting bosses, since the boss modes in wild maps are basically fixed and repetitive. Once you get used to it, you might be able to solo it.

Who would have thought he was so good in real combat!

One against six, quick, accurate, and ruthless, and the fight was over.

When they first saw the video of Tian Nanxing taking on an entire gang single-handedly, they laughed at the gang members who were poorly equipped, lacked combat awareness, and had poor teamwork, which allowed the gang to take advantage of them.

result……

"Let me do the math for you." Jiang Chen, carrying his knife, smiled gently and counted on his fingers: "The losses are one Sure-Win Talisman; one set of High-Grade Healing Pills; one Perfect Anti-Stun Stone; and the rest are just basic materials that aren't worth much."

If you all click to revive and return to town now, each of you will lose another 15% of your experience points.

This wave of losses has cost us over 200,000 gold coins.

See? If only they had listened to my advice earlier, they would have just paid 500 gold coins each.

However, it's not a loss to be able to figure things out and recover the losses now.

Can you see our gang leader?

Falling leaves rustle – Medical School!

You can revive on the spot, minimizing your experience loss, and it only costs 500 gold coins per person.

Five hundred gold coins, a full resurrection with all health and status restored on the spot—that's a fair price, isn't it?

puff!

The six people, unsure of what to say, instinctively typed a "vomiting blood" emoji.

“Actually, there’s another option.” Jiang Chen carefully examined their IDs, which had no prefix, indicating that none of them had joined any gangs. He then smiled and said, “We offer free resurrection services—as long as you join our gang.”

The Crimson Slayer Society offers a base salary of at least 10,000 gold coins per month upon joining, with higher commissions for greater contributions.

Most games require spending money; if you want to make money, you have to give up the fun of the game and work hard to earn money.

But now, joining our Crimson Slayer Society allows you to enjoy the game and earn money at the same time—a win-win situation!

Xiao Bai was stunned.

Mu Heng scratched his head, feeling a bit confused.
