I Rely On Poverty To Sweep Through Survival GamesCh44 - Real-world Mission (2)

We're recruiting a translator for this novel.
Join us!

The Advent World was simply rich and overbearing!

Who knew what that player had done in reality to cause the Advent World to directly release such an order? Could it be that they killed someone? Given a player’s physical constitution, if they attacked an ordinary person in reality, that was simply a cheat. BKMZ4Y

When he saw the sparkling 5 million poverty value in front of his eyes, the dissatisfaction which Xiao Lan had felt towards the real-world mission was tossed out into the heavens. At this moment, what was free will, what was stubbornly refusing to submit? In his heart, everything was completely unimportant; he could endure anything for poverty value.

He didn’t know if he was the only one to receive this mission or if other people had obtained it as well. Xiao Lan hurriedly called Luo over, and the two of them headed to the location indicated by the system.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

It was at this moment that they realised that the villa’s location was truly too outstanding. Their distance from the location marked by the system was — across half the city.

By the time they hurried over, who knew which would have grown cold first: the mission objective or the target of the objective… QusY6U

Several traffic police officers suddenly appeared up ahead. Xiao Lan was instantly on guard. Luo, this guy… did he really have a driver’s license?

Seeing Xiao Lan’s expression in the rearview mirror, Luo looked at the traffic police up ahead before he smiled and took out a driver’s license from the side. “Sir, please do not worry. I have a driver’s license.

“A legitimate and standard driver’s license,” he added.

Xiao Lan looked at that extremely normal-looking driver’s license signed with ‘Fei Luo’; it even had a photo that was identical to the person in front of him, but Xiao Lan was still full of suspicion. How had Luo even sorted out a driver’s license in half a day?

By the time the traffic police arrived and Luo presented his driver’s license and passed through smoothly, Xiao Lan had already given up on contemplating the issue. Forget it… In any case, this wasn’t his first time experiencing how unscientific a non-human was.

They finally arrived at the place marked by the system.

Xiao Lan suddenly realised that the mission wasn’t so magnanimous without reason. This was the CBD, which was a veritable forest of brand-new highrises and malls. It was also a night on the weekend, so crowds of people were coming and going everywhere.

Everything was bustling and lively as far as the eye could see, and there was no danger to be seen. Looking for a person in a place like this and disposing of them without drawing attention truly wouldn’t be easy. zGCpQ2

Couldn’t the Advent World be more precise in its navigation?

Xiao Lan and Luo could only get out of the car and walk along the streets.

Shoulder to shoulder, they pretended to be taking a walk as they took in their surroundings. Their tall and straight figures, paired with their extremely attractive appearances, were very conspicuous in the crowd.

Quite a number of girls looked at them excitedly. After realising that there were two of them, they burst into discussion with their friends before turning their gazes away regretfully — oh, damn gays. 9X5fCq

Naturally, there were also valiant warriors unafraid of death who rushed over in the hope that Xiao Lan would give them his contact details.

Looking at the young ladies with their hopeful gazes in front of him, Xiao Lan sincerely said, “I’m sorry, I don’t have a phone.”

The young ladies walked off, pouting. “If you don’t want to give then just don’t… This excuse is so crap…”

Xiao Lan, who truly didn’t have a handphone: “…” prTilY

Looking at the backs of these young ladies as they left resolutely, Xiao Lan shouted soundlessly in his heart: No, ladies, look at my sincere eyes. I really wasn’t being perfunctory with you. 

Next to him, Luo silently turned his head away to conceal the smile on his lips, but his trembling shoulders betrayed him.

Xiao Lan rolled his eyes. “What are you laughing at? You don’t have a phone either, alright?”

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Luo turned back, the smile in his eyes yet to fade. NTLkqd

Suddenly, a chubby little boy carrying a flower basket popped up in front of them. The boy lifted up a beautifully wrapped flower and grabbed Luo determinedly. “Uncle, buy a flower for big brother ba.”

Kid, it seems you understand very well.

“Ljtjtjtjtjtjtj!” Wljb Ojc qgbwqais yegra bea ijeutlcu ja tlr wlrobgaecf. “Fcmif, tjtjtjtj…”

Perhaps in the eyes of a child, someone wearing a suit was an uncle, while someone wearing a T-shirt and jeans was a big brother ba. But don’t judge Luo by how mature he looked. Based on how long it had been since he left the envelope, he was, in fact, a baby who wasn’t even a month old.

Ktf ybs gfilfv bc tlr regnlnji lcralcmar ab gfqis, “Dlu… ygbatfg…” 82umig

Xiao Lan also went over to add oil to the fire. “Kid, it’s not good to lie ah.”

The boy lifted his head to look at the unc… at the big brother in the suit who was smiling, and suddenly wondered why he felt a little cold. From an intuition borne from obstructing many couples on the street, he hugged his flower basket and swiftly ran off.

Life shouldn’t treat me like this; I’m just a big-sized cutie selling flowers, he thought.

At that moment, Xiao Lan’s attention was caught by a woman next to him who was watching a live stream on an electronic tablet. oiTedS

She was eating snacks as she very inconsiderately played the stream at a loud volume, and the people around her gave her annoyed glances. The content on the screen switched from “Oh my god!” and “This colour is too beautiful ba!” to a new live stream.

Then she frowned. “What’s this ah…”

The passers-by also gave the screen strange looks.

In their eyes, the person currently doing the live stream was very strange. It was a man around thirty years old. His eyes were deranged and bloodshot, his hair was greasy and unkempt, and he was making wide movements with his four limbs. vYARyi

He was yelling excitedly at the camera, shouting as he smashed up the things around him and looking extremely violent. However, not a single person could understand the things that came out of his mouth.

“What’s he foolishly shouting about ah?”

“Why would someone watch this sort of broadcast…”

“Does this person have some sort of mental issue?” VHf9eb

“The way he’s moving his mouth is also weird. Is this a new type of performance?”

It seemed that as long as players mentioned anything related to the Advent World, there would be interference and whatever they said turned into meaningless garble; they were completely unable to convey their words.

On the side, however, Xiao Lan’s gaze changed, because in his ears, what this person was saying was completely different.

“Do you guys know? That Advent World, it kidnaps people from reality. A lot of people go missing every year because of them! cMnf4o

“Everything there is monsters! Monsters! The monsters eat people!!

“They’ll kill you! All of you won’t survive hahahahahahahhahaha!!

“I won’t survive either; in any case, I definitely won’t be able to clear the next instance… Why, why can all of you still be this happy…”

This person was in all likelihood the target of this mission. fvtHNA

At that moment, the camera for the live stream shifted, and the surrounding people immediately let out gasps.

On the floor behind the person were two children who had been tied up! They looked at the camera with frightened eyes. When one of them, a boy, saw the person’s eyes turn to them, he still tried to shield the girl who was even younger than him even though he was afraid.

From their appearance, they were probably a pair of siblings from a pretty good family. The crazy man didn’t look like he was their father.

Seeing the children’s reactions, he started laughing. “Hahaha, you’re now the same as me!!” tgdI38

After this bastard felt that he had no hope of clearing instances, he actually wanted to kill children!

“Call the cops! Hurry up and call the cops! There’s a nutjob who has kidnapped two children!” The crowd was instantly in an uproar.

Several people took out their phones to call the police.

“Hello, 110? There are two children who have been kidnapped…” B0XeHm

“The situation is very dangerous…”

“That person appears deranged…”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Not good. If the police interfered, Xiao Lan’s mission would become even more difficult. He had to make the most of the time he had and resolve this before the police appeared. He definitely didn’t want to have to break into the police station at night.

And looking at the current situation, the police might not be able to get there in time. iKJ2DH

In the live stream, that person was still emotionally cursing out the Advent World. He was holding a knife and looked like he could make a move at any time.

Xiao Lan looked at the buildings and scenery behind him and had a rough idea of the man’s location.

He called once for Luo, and while the crowd was still focusing on the live stream, both of them quickly left and headed for the target.

The range that the target was in had a few office buildings. At this time, there were still several companies, which advocated for 996 that still had their lights on, a testament to the sadness of society’s livestock. uUDjrz

It was very hard to see up from the bottom. Luo pointed at a building’s sightseeing elevator nearby. “Sir, how about we head up first and take a look at the situation?”

That building was a little taller than the ones around it, and would allow them to see the situation on the rooftops of the other highrise buildings. Xiao Lan nodded, and the two of them entered that highrise building.

Surveying the nearby buildings from above, Xiao Lan soon found his target.

The roof which the target player was on was extremely wide but bare, with nothing that one could hide behind. He and the two children were also relatively further away from the rooftop exit, so it would be very hard to approach them stealthily. WsRBfa

Moreover, there was a huge pile of junk blocking the exit, as if they were directly embedded into the floor, and would likely be difficult to clear away. If they violently broke down the wall, it would make a lot of noise and draw attention.

Currently, he was still live streaming in anger and continuously waving the knife, which sparkled with cold light in the night.

There didn’t seem to be any other players nearby that had received the real-world mission.

“This is troublesome,” Xiao Lan said quietly. He turned to ask Luo, “Can your invisibility be used in the real world?” jn3ebd

Luo shook his head. “My power is greatly weakened in reality. I can probably only use it after I find all of my main body.”

Looking down from this height allowed Xiao Lan to clearly see the flow of people. He realised that more and more people were heading in this direction; it seemed that quite a number of people had discovered the target player based on his surroundings in his broadcast.

The more people gathered, the more irritated that person would become, and the more unfavourable it would be for Xiao Lan’s mission.

“We’ll climb straight out from the window below him.” Xiao Lan quickly pressed the down button for the elevator. gFpXOZ

There were now a lot of people on the streets. Their footsteps were hasty as they watched the live stream and surveyed their surroundings at the same time with the obvious intent to find that person as soon as possible.

Some were genuinely concerned about the two children’s safety, while some were purely here to join in the fun. There was even someone who decided to freeload off the heat and open a live stream to search for the deranged kidnapper; however, the live stream was just him blowing his own horn.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

One could also faintly hear the sound of police sirens in the distance getting closer.

Topics related to this matter also climbed to the top in a short span of time on various social media platforms, giving rise to heated discussion among the netizens. aD2dM6

Taking advantage of the fact that the crowd had yet to pinpoint the target’s location, Xiao Lan and Luo entered the building that the target was on. Based on what they had seen, they headed to the room below the target’s location.

After opening the door with a censored and friendly method, Xiao Lan realised that this room was basically used to store junk. There were all sorts of various holiday or celebration products here, which were displayed haphazardly; instant noodles and Christmas trees were happily lumped together, while the statues of the god of wealth and Santa Claus stood side by side. There was even a clown standing next to a maneki-neko on the side. It was an especially chaotic scene.

Xiao Lan’s gaze fell on the clown at the side.

This was probably a model meant to be displayed at some event. It wasn’t wearing the conventional cumbersome attire of a clown; instead, it was wearing an outlandish black-and-white checkered shirt with a ruffled collar, black pants and shoes, and an elegant top hat. It even had a starry smiling mask on its face. jS56AR

The model’s height and stature matched Xiao Lan very well.

Xiao Lan thought about how the guy upstairs was still live streaming, and how the viewers were probably still increasing little by little. He then stood by the window and glanced at the growing number of people downstairs. It would be a tragedy if he was seen acting as Superman and entered the hot searches. If that happened, the next real-world mission target set by the Advent World might be him.

He decided to rob a clown.

A few minutes later, the original clown lay pitifully naked on top of the pile of instant noodles, its plastic eyes silently denouncing the vicious treatment it had received. Lf5Skn

After changing into the elegant clown suit, Xiao Lan turned his head to smile at Luo. “Come ba, it’s time for them to experience mister clown’s magic.”

There was confidence and pride in the youth’s smile, and the bright lights outside the window highlighted the matchless beauty of his silhouette.

Gold light flickered in Luo’s pitch-black eyes, and that smile continued to replay before him all the way until Xiao Lan put on the mask and flipped out of the window.
