Chapter 423: Chapter 100: Task Reward

A few streets away from the sanatorium, inside an engineering truck.

A group of men and women dressed as maintenance workers are closing their eyes and resting.

The next second, they open their eyes and look at Yang Dong in the last row.

Yang Dong also opens his eyes, sighing in his heart: What a pity, what a pity.

So close, just a little bit closer, and he could have caught that guy and given him a beating!

Although he had said, ’If you have any problems, just mention my name,’ that was just a polite gesture.

Damn it!

I, a grown man, can only drink water through a straw. Damn!

But now is not the time to talk about this. Yang Dong still has official business to attend to.

"Immediately track the puppet master! Now that his combat power has been greatly reduced, he can’t even move. Catch him, this train is about to arrive at the station. Don’t let him escape!"

"Position locked, the nearest group will head there immediately!" The companion in the driver’s seat responds while stomping on the gas pedal. The roar of the engine echoes through the streets: "Of course, we’ll be there soon too. Get ready for battle, everyone!"

"Old Yang’s right hand is seriously injured, so he doesn’t need to participate in the battle." A companion glances at Yang Dong’s arm and shakes his head. Suddenly, as if receiving some information, he exclaims in surprise, "You’re incredible! You were able to kill one of the two passengers!"

As the liaison, he had heard the report from the masked woman who had just left the instance.

’Twenty-four minutes after entering the instance, Yang Dong of the Great Wall Yanyun Branch successfully killed a passenger.’

’Twenty-five minutes after entering the instance, Yang Dong heavily injured the puppet master and forced him to retreat!’

"Damn, Old Yang is awesome!"

Seeing the information, the [Great Wall Players] couldn’t help but exclaim, "One against two? Yang Dong from the Great Wall, that’s terrifying!"

It’s not that the masked woman was mistaken. That person really claimed to be Yang Dong of the Great Wall Yanyun Branch...

"Don’t mention that." Yang Dong’s mouth twitches.

Under certain special circumstances, there really were two Yang Dongs in the Yanyun Branch.

[Player Nickname: Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers · Uncle Eight-direction]

[Level: 8][Experience: 420/1200]

[Game coins: 1631]

Although this task didn’t bring any improvement to Li Changhe’s attributes, the rewards were still quite good.

Not to mention that the experience bar had risen to one-third, the guaranteed lottery draw for a Psychic Ability/Curse-Type Skill alone was a considerable improvement.

Among the [Players] Li Changhe knew, only the homeless man he had just killed in his hands had displayed curse-type abilities. It was a fairly rare ability.

But Li Changhe’s face was full of grief, after all, he had just narrowly avoided being beaten up.

He couldn’t even fight back.

It’s not just about whether he could win or lose; mainly, he felt guilty...

"It’s a good thing it was an instance task, or I would have been caught!" Li Changhe’s first action after returning to the real world was to tactically lean back.

At the same time, he felt relieved that the abnormal investigation on the first floor had been inadvertently completed due to the battle, otherwise, this poison would have been unavoidable.

After stabilizing his emotions a bit, Li Changhe got up and left the inn, heading straight for the train station.

He had booked a ticket before the instance began.

Since the task was completed, there was no need to stay in Qiaodu City any longer.

After Yang Dong and his people had cleaned up the puppet master, who knows if they would come after him?

So, half an hour later.

Exhausted, Li Changhe finally arrived at Qiaodu’s Passenger Center just before the train departed. As long as he boarded the train, he would be back in Nanzhe by tomorrow afternoon.

"So there’s an experience penalty for killing teammates, I didn’t expect that." Li Changhe calculates the gains and losses of this task, starting with the penalty for killing the homeless man, his teammate.

The experience penalty was one thing. The other was being forced to have a negative status.

[Negative Status: ’Continuous Misfortune’ During this period, unfortunate things will happen to you constantly.][Time remaining: One hour 5 minute 36 seconds]

This was the random penalty curse he received for killing his teammate.

On the way to the train station, Li Changhe had already fully experienced the effects of the curse.

First, when he took a taxi, the road suddenly went under construction. Many roads were closed to traffic.

The old driver drove around the western suburbs for a few laps, his face flushed with anger. When they finally found a way out, they encountered a traffic jam.

At that time, Li Changhe thought that these [Great Wall] measures were in place to stop the puppet master and his people.

In order to avoid getting involved, he made the quick decision to get off the car, and took out the prepared mountain bike from his [Backpack].

He would ride the bike to the train station. Traffic jams shouldn’t stop a bicycle, right?

As a result, he failed to ride halfway, and the tire burst.

Damn, if he didn’t know it was a curse effect by now, he’d be silly.

After going through a series of ’accidents’ like loose manhole covers and falling billboards, Li Changhe finally arrived at the train station.

It took him nearly an hour to walk the twenty-minute route.

"It seems the Evolution Game doesn’t encourage infighting among teammates. However, the curse also has this effect...I suddenly feel even more guilty about Brother Dong." Li Changhe muttered to himself while lining up to check the ticket.

"So... so will you use his name again in the future?" Yun Ting asked.

"Brother Ting, guilty or not...he said it himself, to mention his name if there’s any problem."

"I think he was just being polite...you know."

"I heard his heartbeat."

Without turning his head, Li Changhe waved back, slapped down the arm reaching towards his pocket, and caught a glimpse of a young man baring his teeth before melting into the crowd.

As the holiday season approached, petty thieves became more common.

Especially in crowded places like train stations, you had to be extra vigilant.

Li Changhe wondered if this was also a curse effect?

His gaze swept across the line of people and found the young man.

"Although [Players] usually avoid getting too involved with petty thieves like this to avoid exposure, I’ll take this rare chance to test the newfound power." While no one else was looking, Li Changhe stretched out his hand and pointed at the small thief in the crowd.

"Curse, Pressure Throne!"
