Chapter 187: Player Death... A Hacker? (1/2)

Three Hours later, Neerak Axutar and the three village soldiers had fallen into deep sleep—behind Pedro. Neerak Axutar was even drooling like a child, probably due to extreme exhaustion earlier. On the other hand, Pedro sat casually with his legs crossed while his pen-knife roamed around the cave, killing every Baby Ira Spider that had newly hatched.

His Faithpursuer Katana laid on top of his legs, while his hands continued to navigate through his player interface. Of course, he would often glance to the cave in order to ensure that no spider would be able to sneak away from his sight and attack them by surprise.

”My Kill Count is already around Two Hundred Sixty-Four Thousand…” He chuckled to himself. ”And so does my Base Attack Damage! If this continued for several hours, I wonder if my damage would become as strong as Senior Alivia's bare handed punch?”

He can't help but shook his head, remembering his first encounter with Alivia and how he almost died in her fists. He forced out a smile and said, ”Those three NPCs are terrifying… They must be ranked amongst the top officers in BHO. They must have been level 90 or above to have such damage.”

He took a deep breath and shifted his interface from the Continental Quest tab to his Player Information tab, and said to himself, ”My attack damage had even gone past through the attack damage of the strongest player in my past life. If I am right… The American Player from the Joe Corporation named Persistence had an attack damage of a hundred and eighty thousand. That's considering that she was about to reach level 80 and that she had equipped an evolve weapon and artifact which was as strong as level 90 weapons.”

He stole a glance to the newly hatched spider eggs, before he glanced to his Faithpursuer Katana and said, ”I can raise the level of this Katana to a hundred if continue farming these spiders. But… I need to go to the Tarala Kingdom as soon as possible.”

Then, he stole a glance towards the four sleeping NPCs and thought, 'I already used rest as a reason for us to camp in this hole. These NPCs would eventually become suspicious if we wouldn't leave by the time they wake up. At the same time… I can't use my demonic eyes to forcefully keep them asleep! There's a chance that the transporter spiders and the spider queen, herself, would also fall asleep.'

'The best thing to do is leave this dungeon and finish the matters regarding the Tarala Kingdom as fast as we can.' He thought, 'The Axutar Village and the Baliu Village were almost an hour of travel away from here. I doubt that these monsters would be able to spread that far in just a matter of days. In fact, they would probably focus in hunting monsters and adventurers around this area to increase their population before heading towards the further areas.'

”Then, it's settled!” Pedro chuckled, ”We'll stay here for six to eight more hours. After that, we'll rush to the Baliu Village and use the teleportation platform to go to the Tarala Kingdom. It might cost me a few silver coins but… It's better than walking our way to the said Kingdom.”

Since Pedro and the four NPCs would spend a little bit more time inside the dungeon, Pedro gave Mathew and Sabrina an instruction to meet ahead, somewhere near Baliu Village. This way, Sabrina would have the opportunity to rest, even log off the game and stretch a bit or eat something, while Mathew is guarding her character and, at the same time, the werewolf.

On the other hand, All the players around the world erupted as the ranked one player in the Continental Quest was hundreds of thousands away from the second ranked player. Contrary to the relaxed state of Pedro, Sabrina, and the four other NPCs, the forum and world chat erupted as Pedro's kill count continues to rise.

M3ch4n1cSh00terXX01X:Wtf! Wtf! Wtf! 200,000 Kills! 200,000! If this player—Death, is not hacking! Then, he might be in some kind of helicopter—killing monsters non-stop with a machine gun!

B0zz Mo Mangga:Machine gun my ass! This player might have a necromancer skill of some sort and is controlling thousands of undead!

WuuJin01:Necromancer? I doubt that there's someone who's able to obtain such skill yet! I think that Death is someone who summons something—like a shadow, and commands them to attack the monsters on his stead!

Anonymous:Non-sense! Non-sense! This player is definitely using hack! Based on his name, it is possible that every monster's death in the game would be included in his/her kill count! Cheater!
