Lin Wan had actually gotten used to this man's boastful behavior. However, PvE was one thing and PvP was another. Real players were not as stupid as computer - controlled characters. So, she was obviously less convinced by Lu Zhihang's words than before.
Lu Zhihang didn't mind. He took her and walked towards the city gate.
At this moment, a crowd had gathered at the city gate. Most of them were people who had seen the system announcement and come to watch the excitement. Everyone was chatting animatedly.
"I seem to have heard of this Jing Nanheng somewhere. Is he very famous?"
"Come on. This guy is the leader of the Assassin's Creed gang and the most terrifying assassin in Divine Martial Chronicles. Back then, he managed to take the head of the number - one archer, Cheng Feng, even when surrounded by a thousand people and still got away unscathed!"
"Oh, I remember. I know him too. He's also one of the top ten experts on the leaderboard!"
"What kind of person could kill a master like this? Anyway, a small player like me should just watch from the sidelines and not get involved."
"Right. Just wait. There will surely be a master coming."
"I'm so excited. I'll get to see the elegance of a top - ten expert again!"
...
While people were happily discussing, Lu Zhihang walked straight up to the guard beside him. After chatting for a few words, he turned around and was about to take down the bounty notice. Although Lin Wan was worried, she didn't stop him.
However, just then, a public - broadcast voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be so overconfident as to take on this bounty."
Lu Zhihang stopped his movement. The mouse hovered beside the "confirm" button. Then he turned his head and looked over. Lin Wan was also startled by the sudden voice and turned to look.
Not far behind them, a man in black armor with a long sword hanging from his waist was standing quietly. There were three other people standing behind him.
The man seemed to have an air of arrogance. He tilted his head slightly, and his eyes looking at Lu Zhihang were filled with a cold killing intent.
Lu Zhihang raised his eyebrows, and a meaningful look flashed in his eyes. He knew these four people, and he was sure that everyone around them did too.
The man standing in the front was named Han Jiulihé. He was the black knight who had replaced Shangshan Ruoshui as the number - one player. He was currently the knight with the highest toughness in the server. Thanks to his thick health, he had managed to outlast the next nine players and become the number - one player in the whole server.
The mage, the healer, and the swordsman standing behind him were all top - ten experts in their respective professions.
"Were you talking to me just now?" Lu Zhihang asked with a half - smile.
Han Jiulihé was taken aback. A look of confusion flashed across his face. Then he squinted his eyes and warned again, "A musician who isn't even at full level and an assassin? Do you really think you can kill the fully - leveled Jing Nanheng?"
In terms of combat power, Lu Zhihang had never been afraid of anyone. Facing Han Jiulihé's obvious mockery, he couldn't help but smile and say, "What? Is that not okay?"
"Of course not!" the healer behind Han Jiulihé sneered. "You're a healer. At most, you're half a ranged attacker and half a healer. Do you think you can kill the elusive Jing Nanheng? You might not even know how you died!"
Lin Wan moved her lips, wanting to say something. But after frowning, she found that she really had nothing to refute. The truth was that both of them were squishy classes, and Jing Nanheng was known for taking down squishy targets with combo attacks. It was very likely that they wouldn't even be able to touch the corner of his clothes even if they found him.
"If two people aren't enough, we can add a third. There's no fixed number of people for this mission," Lu Zhihang said casually.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Then Han Jiulihé said, "Fine. Since you think three people are enough, how about we have a PvP match? Anyway, if more than one team takes on this bounty, we have to have a PvP to decide who gets the mission. Since no one wants to give up, let's just have a fight."
Everyone present was stunned by this. The chat channel was silent for a rare few seconds.
Then everyone erupted.
"What the hell?! Did I hear that wrong?"
"Just now, Lord Han should have said 'Get out of here', right? My ears aren't very good."
"With my 5.1 eyesight, I can tell you that you're wrong. I heard that we're going to have a fight!"
"... What does eyesight have to do with this? But I heard the same thing."
...
After a long moment of shock, the chat channel became even more chaotic. Soon, even people who weren't in the main city heard the news.
People started flocking to the city gate like they were going to a big event.
The reason so many people came wasn't because Lin Wan and the others or Han Jiulihé were so powerful. It was mainly because the difference in strength seemed so huge.
Han Jiulihé's fixed team had been famous in Divine Martial Chronicles for a long time. In this game, they were the first to clear countless dungeons and had killed numerous players. They were basically recognized as the strongest team in the server, the kind of team that was looked up to wherever they went.
As for Longyan Jixu, this female assassin was really good. She was undoubtedly one of the top ten players on the leaderboard and ranked second among all the assassins in the server, only second to Jing Nanheng.
But the musician named Lin Shenjianlu beside her was different. Just looking at his level, which was only 83, and his 83 - level equipment all over his body, it was really pitiful!
Longyan Jixu was well - known for being cold - hearted in the server. Before, she had only been seen playing with Xiaoxiao Muyu. Now, although this Lin Shenjianlu had suddenly appeared, it was obvious that it wasn't her who had found a teammate.
Just thinking about the fact that the musician wasn't even at full level made it hard to imagine what kind of person he would bring in as a teammate.
Just thinking about it made it seem like their chances of winning were slim.
Not only did passers - by think so, but Lin Wan herself thought the same way.
She frowned. She wasn't at all interested in Han Jiulihé's proposal. Under normal circumstances, in the game, when this kind of situation happened, people would usually give in politely. At the very least, they would have a private and good negotiation. How could someone just come up and propose a fight like this?
Looking at the increasingly out - of - control situation on the computer screen, Lin Wan bit her lower lip unwillingly, let out an unhappy snort, and said reluctantly, "Maybe we should just forget it. Anyway, we don't have to take this mission."
As Lin Wan said this, she took a step back and was about to leave. But while she wanted to leave, Lu Zhihang obviously didn't want to let Han Jiulihé off so easily. His voice came as calmly as usual, "Don't be afraid, Longyan. I know a friend who's really good at fighting."
Lin Wan stopped in her tracks and turned her gaze suspiciously.
