Chapter 470 - Scrap Picking and Playing with Lives (1/2)

Deception was stunned. If he hadn’t heard the sound of an attacking coming at him, he would have probably frozen in place.

What was their current situation? There were enemies on all four sides. It might even be too late to run away and yet this guy still wanted to pick up sc.r.a.ps? The problem was that this guy said he was going sc.r.a.p picking, but his actions didn’t seem like sc.r.a.p picking at all. What was sc.r.a.p picking? Taking advantage of a chaotic situation to pick up dropped equipment. This was sc.r.a.p picking. Deception taking the initiative to attack targets was already considered beyond sc.r.a.p picking. But this Lord Grim directly grabbed a full health character to kill him and then pick up his sc.r.a.ps. Was that even called sc.r.a.p picking? It was more like stealing.

Deception cursed silently. But when he looked left and right, he discovered Lord Grim that Lord Grim kicking down the Launcher might be the only way to escape. This escape route required the Launcher to be knocked down.

Thinking of this, Deception immediately felt like his motive to pick up sc.r.a.ps was simply done in the pa.s.sing. His real intention was to kill off the Launcher to create an escape path. Deception thought about this as he rushed past this breakthrough and leaped down. When he looked down towards the streets, he immediately turned to stone.

Below, Lord Grim really was trying to kill that Launcher! The Launcher wasn’t an obstacle anymore to them. Once you hit him down, why would you waste your time killing him?

Was he really going to go sc.r.a.p picking?!

Deception felt like there had to be some sort of scheme around this. Before he landed, he checked the Launcher’s equipment.

A character from a top guild wouldn’t have bad equipment, but that was only relative to normal players. Even though Deception didn’t have such a mountain to rely on, but he was able to prosper quite well through his sc.r.a.p picking business. The equipment from these ordinary guild members weren’t good enough to make him drool.

When Deception landed on the ground, the Launcher’s equipment had already been thoroughly checked two times. However, with his two experienced eyes, he didn’t see anything very valuable on the Launcher’s body……

“Hurry up and help me! You’ll profit too!”

Right when he was puzzled about the situation, Lord Grim suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Could it be in his inventory?

Deception suddenly reacted. He could only check the equipment being worn on the Launcher, but he couldn’t see what was in his inventory. The items in his inventory also had the same chance of dropping.

Because of this, Deception didn’t hesitate and brandished his ninja blade.

Ye Xiu completely crushed this Launcher. The various skills being used made the opponent’s head dizzy. It didn’t matter that his damage output was extremely low. Lord Grim’s level was low and his equipment was low-leveled too. Against a Level 70 character, the damage done would be very low. Under this sort of scenario, Ye Xiu might have the advantage in skill, but he could only kill him in so much time.

However, Deception was different. He started with two high-leveled Ninja skills, coordinating with Ye Xiu’s combo.

“Not bad! Be careful above you.” Ye Xiu praised and reminded him.

Deception lifted his head up and saw the players, who used to just be guarding the rooftops, come jumping down. Deception was worried! He felt like still trying to kill someone in this situation was a bit crazy.

But the items dropped by this guy must be very valuable right?

Thinking of this, Deception couldn’t bear to just leave, but how was he going to deal with all of these dumplings?

“Faster!” Deception heard Lord Grim shout. Then, he saw him rush forward and send out a Falling Flower Palm towards a player on the left. This player turned into a cannonball, cras.h.i.+ng into two others.

Afterwards, he turned around and fired an Anti-Tank Missile. The players on the right side were just about to land on the ground, but instead, they landed on the missile and immediately went flying away.

Just like this, using a melee skill and a long-ranged skill, he used the descending players as toys. These players were unable to dodge in the air. Not a single one of them were able to close in on them and were all sent far away. Those who failed their Quick Recover rolled about on the ground.

“You still haven’t killed him yet?” Ye Xiu had returned and immediately criticized Deception for still fighting with the Launcher.

Deception was also somewhat sad. He had come out to pick up sc.r.a.ps, so he wasn’t wearing very good equipment. As a result, his damage output wasn’t very high either. Hearing Ye Xiu complain, he suddenly remember that he could use the equipment he had picked up.

Thinking of this, he quickly found equipment that would increase his damage output and wore them. His damage output immediately increased greatly.

“Yes, good good.” Ye Xiu watched the Launcher’s health drop and expressed that he was satisfied. Deception was already completely focused on the task though. When this Launcher died, his items would drop out in an instant. Deception was confident that with his ability as a sc.r.a.p picker, he would be the first to pick up the items. At the very least, he didn’t believe the other side, when he said “You’ll profit too.”

“Hurry hurry hurry! They’re about to surround us!” Lord Grim hurried over to help, complaining while attacking. Sending the dumplings flying away would only buy them a few seconds of time. All of them quickly got up and charged forward at them again. Ye Xiu had no way to send them all flying again. The two were truly in a difficult situation. They hastily tried to kill off the Launcher, while dodging the incoming enemies’ attacks.

A forest of spears and a rain of arrows descended onto them. The two skipped about like two little monkeys. They were about to be surrounded, but the Launcher was at critical health. Just a bit more and he would die.

The chasing guild players didn’t know the truth behind why Ye Xiu and Deception were fighting with the Launcher. They just thought he was being a brave hero and sacrificing himself in order to stall for time. Everyone felt very moved and couldn’t bear to watch the Launcher actually dying.
