Two people stood in front of the checkout counter, far from each other.
Zhao Xiaohe stood closer to where Zhang Dong usually appeared. Her arms were folded across her chest as she stared at Lin Yan warily. Currently, she actually felt that it was safer next to the boss than to Lin Yan.
The boss at least had reasons to kill people, whereas there was no logic to Lin Yan’s actions; he was a dangerous person who would harm his teammates.
Lin Yan looked at the empty-handed Zhao Xiaohe and snorted in disdain.
Pitiful little rabbit. If they had met outside the game, he might have had some interest in this sort of young schoolgirl, but in the game, apologies — those who blocked his path all had to die!!
If Xiao Lan and Zhao Xiaohe knew what he was thinking, they would simultaneously: blergh —
Zhao Xiaohe couldn’t help looking at the other end of the supermarket, but Xiao Lan still hadn’t appeared.
Lin Yan said derisively, “Why, waiting for your big brother to come save you? What use is he? I told you to follow me earlier, but you didn’t.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help scanning Zhao Xiaohe’s face and body. This person was now no longer pretending; the facade of a cultured senior was torn off to blatantly reveal the meanness and vulgarity underneath.
In the real world, Lin Yan was just an unremarkable salesman, and could even only be considered to be an utterly lousy beginner player in the Advent World.
His skills were ordinary, and he had no ability or amazing items. He looked at the awe-inspiring appearances of those big shots, while he himself could only struggle to survive in each game. There were also some gifted newbies who were clearly inferior to him at first, yet ultimately soared up. The dissatisfaction in his heart grew and grew.
Up until the first time he made use of the game’s rules to kill a newbie — that moment of happiness made him feel incredibly wonderful. He suddenly realised that before these ignorant newbies, he was also very formidable as a veteran!
Until now, Lin Yan constantly searched for newbies in every round, then thought of ways to make them violate the preconditions for death. Their desperate screams before death were the most beautiful symphony in his life.
Until one day, he suddenly triggered a hidden task.
【It’s obvious that you’re a bad fellow who likes to backstab others. Since you want to pursue stimulation, why not just go all the way】
【Triggered hidden task: The star of mass extinction】
【Task explanation: Kill all players aside from yourself in three games (0/3)】
【Task reward: Rare item *1】
【Tip: The above-mentioned task is not compulsory, and can be abandoned at any time. There is no punishment for giving up】
At that moment, his heart was filled with ecstasy!
Rare item! As a veteran player, Lin Yan knew its value very well. As for giving up? This sort of task where he had a legitimate reason to kill his teammates, why would he want to abandon it?!
After that, Lin Yan began trying to complete the mission in the game. Completing【The star of mass extinction】 wasn’t easy at all. Most veteran players knew that there were traps in games, and wouldn’t trust other people easily. When there were veteran players, his mission would fail more often than not.
It was only in rounds where it was all newbies that he had a chance of success.

This place was precisely where he had obtained the task. Moreover, of the two mass extinction tasks which he had already completed so far, one had been here. This was simply the Advent World helping him.
Everything had been going very smoothly at first. These ignorant newbies were very easy to deceive, and soon died one after another according to his plan. However, there was just one brat in the way! And this disobedient girl — couldn’t she just obediently die?
In the face of Lin Yan’s mocking, Zhao Xiaohe was a little angry and glared at him. “Pei, Xiao ge is definitely fine. Don’t talk nonsense!”
Lin Yan’s smile twisted. “Oh, you even call him ge now. It’s still a little sister’s sweet mouth ah~”
As he spoke, he was going to step forward and teach her a little lesson. She was just a little girl, and simply wasn’t worth mentioning in his eyes.
At that moment, Xiao Lan’s voice came from afar. “Uncle Lin, it’s still better not to go over ba. You’re scaring the kid.”
Lin Yan frowned and turned his head, only to see Xiao Lan walking towards the checkout counter step by step.
Xiao Lan smiled at him and said, “Uncle Lin, this hair of yours is fake, right? Those who are balding shouldn’t think about someone else’s daughter anymore; how about just maintaining the reserve of a senior?”
Lin Yan angrily reached up to touch the top of his head. How was that possible?! This was his greatest secret — this was a handmade wig made with real hair; how did this guy find out?!
Of course it wasn’t Xiao Lan who found out. This was something Luo had told Xiao Lan when he saw Lin Yan for the first time. At that moment, tossing it out to pull aggro was quite useful.
Seeing Lin Yan’s angry appearance, Xiao Lan felt extremely pleased in his heart. His gaze swept over everyone present. “Where’s that tattooed guy? You got rid of him already?”
Lin Yan spoke disdainfully. “Hmph, he himself is stupid. Who else can he blame?”
Xiao Lan’s smile was relaxed. “Then I won’t have to worry about fighting you anymore.”
Lin Yan: “…”
Motherfucker, he suddenly recalled the previous kick. Was this newbie related to King Kong? Lin Yan’s insides were still aching right now.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiaohe thought in her heart, Xiao ge deserves to be my Xiao ge. The atmosphere changed as soon as he appeared. Now, she didn’t feel panicked at all, and Lin Yan didn’t look scary either.
“It looks like you guys are playing happily even without me ah.” Zhang Dong and the female shop assistant appeared out of thin air again.
Having experienced this scene three times, the three present had unperturbed expressions. It no longer scared them, or perhaps those who would be scared were already all gone.
Seeing their reactions, Zhang Dong curled his lip. He felt as if he wasn’t regarded as important anymore.
Zhang Dong’s cloudy eyes swept over the players as he slowly said, “Who’s the first one up?”
Zhang Dong had barely finished speaking when Lin Yan immediately stepped forward, as if afraid that the other two would join hands to beat him up if he was a single step late.
Surprisingly, what Lin Yan took out from his pocket was — Shandi brand cigarettes.
Xiao Lan just knew that this fellow’s words to the tattooed gangster, punctuation marks and all, had been fake.
Lin Yan’s original target was the item in Xiao Lan’s hand. He joined hands with the tattooed gangster to forcibly take Xiao Lan’s item, then seized an opportunity to deal with the tattooed gangster as well. It could be said to be a plan of killing two birds with one stone.
The tattooed gangster’s peanut-sized brain probably never thought that he would be sold off and that he would even help his seller count the money.
Lin Yan placed the cigarettes on the checkout counter, and even turned his head to give Xiao Lan a provoking gaze.
Xiao Lan really wanted to smack him hard to the floor ah. Xiao Lan’s fingers twitched, and all he felt right now was a slight itch in his fist.
【Sir, please calm down】
Xiao Lan was startled. He almost thought that he had accidentally spoken the words in his heart out loud.
【You didn’t speak out loud, please don’t worry】
Xiao Lan: “…”
You really are a little mind reader.
For one moment, Zhang Dong’s gaze paused on Lin Yan with an unclear meaning, before he revealed a strange smile and accepted the cigarettes. The way Zhang Dong looked at him made Lin Yan feel scared in his heart, but he didn’t know why.
Could there be a problem with the cigarettes?
That shouldn’t be ah, Lin Yan reassured himself. That youngster always confirmed the clues first before moving to select items, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
Even if there was, the free coupon effect, which he hadn’t encountered in the previous game, just meant that he had to do another selection round.
He still had a few clues on hand. Even if he couldn’t complete the hidden task, it wouldn’t be a problem to clear the instance.
He couldn’t possibly fail; it was impossible.
Lin Yan suppressed the feeling in his heart, and returned to stand in his original spot.
Zhang Dong turned to the remaining two. “Next.”
Zhao Xiaohe immediately became nervous again. Her folded arms tightened, and her fingers whitened. She glanced at Xiao Lan, and he gave her a look of encouragement.
Zhao Xiaohe nodded, took a deep breath, and walked forward.
She reached into the loose sleeve of her school uniform and took out a packet of spicy sticks. In the end, she hadn’t found any clues; this was what she had chosen after guessing what Zhong Dong’s taste might be like, based on Xiao Lan’s method and on the clues they already had.
Right now, she would just take a gamble and see whether Zhang Dong thought the spicy sticks were a waste of money.
She didn’t expect Zhang Dong to directly snatch the spicy sticks away when he saw them. He then shoved them, packaging and all, right into his wide open mouth, and chewing in satisfaction, he swallowed directly — clearly, he liked them a lot.
Zhang Dong wiped off the spicy grease that dribbled out of his mouth. “Pass, burp —”
A putrid smell mixed with the scent of spicy sticks slammed into Zhao Xiaohe’s face. The smell seemed to attack the soul, and Zhao Xiaohe’s face turned pale. She immediately took several steps back before she dared to take a deep breath.
Finally, it was Xiao Lan’s turn.
He was about to step forward, when there was the sound of quick footsteps behind them.
Xiao Lan turned to look, and realised that surprisingly, it was the tattooed gangster!
At that moment, he cut an extremely sorry figure. His entire figure looked like he had been dredged up from some dirty pool. Not only was he dripping wet, there was also a lot of green algae and brown stains on him; he looked like he had been pitted very miserably.
As he ran, he did his best to take off the rope tied around his body. Because he was in too much of a rush, he slipped quite a few times.
The tattooed gangster rushed ahead, and completely ignoring the boss and the two other people, he threw a punch at Lin Yan with bloodshot eyes. “Motherfucker! You dare plot against laozi!”
When Lin Yan saw that this idiot had managed to free himself, his expression immediately sank.
He raised a hand to block the oncoming punch, moving sideways to dispel the force. Seeing that the tattooed gangster was bent on attacking again, Lin Yan hastily said, “It’s useless to look for me, I’ve already handed the item over.”
After that, he even raised his hands to indicate that he had no intention of continuing to fight.
The tattooed gangster panted heavily as he glared at Lin Yan. He clenched his fist, but ultimately still lowered it in dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, a calculating glint flashed in Lin Yan’s eyes behind his glasses. He pointed at Xiao Lan and redirected the calamity. “Currently, of everyone present, he’s the only one left.”
Xiao Lan just knew it; as long as this fellow could still jump around, nothing good would happen!
Perhaps the tattooed gangster was afraid after already being pitted. He looked at Xiao Lan, then looked at Zhao Xiaohe, then looked at Xiao Lan, then looked at Zhao Xiaohe… This was repeated several times, and he didn’t seem very smart.
Unexpectedly, the one who saved the show was Zhang Dong. He let out a hoarse laugh. “Hahaha, he isn’t lying.”
At the same time, he looked at Xiao Lan with the expression of one who was watching a good show.
Xiao Lan only raised his gaze indifferently.
In any case, they had already reached the final juncture, and he no longer had to worry about the skill’s cooldown time. He sized up Lin Yan, who had a calculating look in his eyes, and the tattooed gangster nearby. He might as well go all out; how about a double kill?
Five minutes was enough for these ignorant people to experience the strength of the poor.
The author has something to say:
Xiao Lan: Both customers, there’s a promotion in the shop today. You will understand what buy one, free one is.
