Chapter 508: Chapter 184: Priceless

The man in the black suit was a retail player from Australia.

LV4 [Mad Kangaroo].

Although he had a decent education, due to his immigrant status, he could only find a job as a nursing assistant in a retirement home in Australia.

Because of his low salary, he was living a very tight life and took out his frustration on the elderly in the nursing home. This was not uncommon in Australia.

Until one day, he became a player.

He thought he had finally seen the secret of the world.

As his ambitions grew, he felt that it was unsuitable to impose his authority in a nursing home.

So he left the nursing home and went to other cities, eager to prove his difference.

Then... Then reality slapped him hard in the face and rubbed him down on the ground.

He originally thought that after gaining player abilities, he could quickly look down upon everyone.

But having encountered various [Players] and terrifying abnormalities in tasks, he became fearful. Although [Player] brought him strength and skill, danger also came with it.

He only wanted power, not danger.

So his impulse to participate in tasks became smaller and smaller. This was the reason he only reached LV4 after becoming a player for several months. But there is one danger [Player] cannot avoid, and that is the [Periodic Task]. Even though his leveling up was slow, the periodic tasks would still find him.

In order to survive, he came to a city where players gathered, a certain ’point’ in Australia, for self-preservation.

Therefore, he also came here, to the Dream Ark.

At first, there were quite a few [Players] entering here.

A total of six [Players] stayed here for two days and, after learning some information, believed they could not complete the task, so they used the [Escape Coin].

But he and three other [Players] were not so lucky, and their [Escape Coins] failed. At that time, he didn’t want to leave but simply couldn’t.

However, after the initial terror and despair, he suddenly found that this wasn’t so bad.

As long as he continued to stay on the Dream Cruise, he could avoid [Periodic Tasks] forever since he was always in the middle of a task.

And it was no more dangerous here than other tasks, even though there were many dangerous abnormalities.

But after that period of exploration, he had already understood quite a bit about the behaviors of the abnormalities.

As long as he avoids triggering their traits, he could coexist peacefully.

Moreover... there were so many people here. It was simply the perfect environment for him.

This was not only a safe haven for the abnormalities but also for him.

For this reason, he used investigating the abnormalities and finding a way to break the situation as an excuse, employing hypnosis, manipulation, or threats with his player abilities to make the public interact with those dangerous abnormalities.

Thus obtaining more detailed information.

At that time, his ambition began to grow again. His level was indeed not high, and his combat power was only slightly higher than that of ordinary people.

But he was a [Player] after all, able to obtain what he could not get in ordinary life in such a chaotic environment.

Power, women, and reverence. Wasn’t that what he had been expecting?

But he had one concern, which was that he was not the only player here.

If this environment were likened to a small empire, those players with higher levels and stronger combat power would be the existence above his power.

This was something he could not tolerate. He had already considered everything here as his property. How could he allow those who threatened him to exist?

So, during one of the [Player] gatherings to discuss how to break the situation,

He took advantage of the characteristics of the abnormalities and brutally killed those two guys who had never taken him seriously.

They were so young, so powerful. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them the Sons of Heaven.

But in the end, they died at the hands of their teammate, at the hands of the Mad Kangaroo.

Those two [Players], in order to resist the abnormalities, played all their cards. In the end, their equipment became the spoils of war for Mad Kangaroo. Even their corpses were taken away to feed the mouse army.

The Mad Kangaroo couldn’t help but smile when he remembered their unrelenting faces in death.

"This time, it will be the same, let’s see how long you guys can hide."

At the same time, he quietly came to the fourth floor, to room 409.

Here was the best place to utilize the abnormalities he had found.

As long as he gave a photo or portrait of the target to one of the abnormalities in there and paid a certain amount of blood as a price,

He could then order her to attack the target. Both humans and abnormalities could become targets.

He would pay half first, and the rest after the task is completed.

This was Little Red Riding Hood, the mercenary.

Of course, the price was different. Little Red Riding Hood Mercenary would set the price according to the target’s strength.

Choosing a player as a target required quite a large price to be paid. It needed 7-9 liters of blood, while an adult only has around 5 liters of blood in their body.

So, unless there are special circumstances, ordinary people would not be able to hire her.

When the client cannot pay the final payment, she would kill the client and dye her cloak with their blood.

To kill those two [Players] at that time, Mad Kangaroo had specifically prepared 20 liters of blood, which he had secretly gathered over a long time. Of course, it was not his own blood, but that of the guys hiding in his room. He had seven room cards then. That was the source of his power.

Even to save time, he would directly drain a person’s blood.

Now, there are 70 liters of blood in his [Backpack]. This is enough to hire her 10 times.

That’s enough! Her combat power is no less than a LV10 [Player]. As long as the opponents dare to expose themselves, he can hire Little Red Riding Hood again.

"This is my domain, and you’re not going to touch it!" He whispered. In his hand, space flickered, and he took out a sketchbook and a pencil. Recalling Li Changhe’s appearance, he quickly sketched his face on the sketchbook.

By coincidence, the skill he upgraded out of boredom was [Skill: Sketching B]. It has now become a means for him to control the life and death of others.

It is like a death god’s sketchbook, and anyone drawn on it is doomed.

"He’s really a handsome guy." Having finished the sketch, Mad Kangaroo looked at his own work: "I suppose he must be popular in the outside world too? Now that he’s been tasked with maintaining order, perhaps he also attracts attention on the outside. Hahaha... Pity, I hate people like you the most."

He stood in front of Room 409, took out a basin of blood, and then lightly knocked on the iron door.

The iron door opened slowly, and a red silhouette appeared behind the door. A strong smell of blood also wafted out from the room.

Feeling the astonishingly dangerous feeling, Mad Kangaroo smiled slightly, and then whispered: "It’s him, the usual deal. Let me enjoy his desperate face."

He handed over the sketchbook and said, "If there is no one to stop you, please bring him here and kill him at your leisure. I am willing to pay a certain price."

This was his little trick, as there was nothing else to take pleasure in this environment.

Perhaps it was a habit he developed while staying at the nursing home, but he particularly liked seeing the painful expressions of others.

Especially when those handsome or beautiful faces were in pain and despair. It would give him physiological and psychological pleasure.

"Beautifully drawn..." Little Red Riding Hood took the sketchbook and unusually replied: "Very nice."

Her voice was gentle, with a hint of laughter. Were it not for the fact he sensed that she was an Abnormality, Mad Kangaroo might have thought she was a young girl standing in front of him.

However, even knowing that she was a beautiful young woman, Mad Kangaroo dared not reveal any thoughts.

After all, she was the one who killed two [Players] head-on. Even if she was beautiful enough to be on the heavens, she was not someone he could covet.

"But I feel like she’s... a little different now." Mad Kangaroo thought, looking at the Abnormality in front of him.

Her tall figure and slender limbs were hidden under her drenched blood-red cloak. Amidst the strong smell of blood, there was a hint of an alluring fragrance. Yet, from his senses, she was clearly an Abnormality.

"But..." At that moment, Little Red Riding Hood looked at the sketchbook and said, "It’s not enough."

Mad Kangaroo was startled. Could the Abnormality increase the price? He hadn’t expected that.

He immediately took out another basin of blood.

"Still not enough." Little Red Riding Hood shook her head gently.

"You..." Mad Kangaroo frowned heavily. The Abnormality had been to Hua Country, but how could she become so bold as to ask for more payment?

Could it be because he had hired her multiple times, so she wanted more "commission"?

"Could it be that this boy is very special? Surely I won’t directly choose a [Player], right?" Mad Kangaroo thought, "Even better, kill this [Player] now!"

Then, he took out another basin of blood, saying, "This should be enough. The rest can be considered extra commission."

He had taken out 10 liters of blood, which already exceeded the bounty for [Players]. Even if Little Red Riding Hood raised the price, it should be enough.

If it’s still not enough, it means that this boy is a very powerful [Player]!

Mad Kangaroo would have learnt some information then.

"However, I have prepared 70 liters of blood. Even if he is strong, I can afford it! How strong can a LV10 or lower person be?" He seemed to have forgotten that he was only LV4.

However, Little Red Riding Hood did not move. She just looked at the sketchbook.

"Still not enough? So strong?" Mad Kangaroo was shocked.

So, he took out another two basins of blood. That was a total of 15 liters.

Little Red Riding Hood put away the sketchbook but did not respond to Mad Kangaroo.

It’s still not enough? Mad Kangaroo’s heart was filled with shock.

To know that it only required 15 liters of blood to kill the previous two players from Australia.

"How much more commission does he want?" Mad Kangaroo’s face showed fear.

Little Red Riding Hood stepped out of the room and walked slowly towards Mad Kangaroo.

He felt the temperature around him drop sharply.

At the same time, his hands and feet withered in an instant, and the moisture seemed to be drained rapidly.

Mad Kangaroo fell to the ground, feeling his life fading away.

He managed to say in a hoarse voice, "Wait... I have more... commission here. I... can afford."

"No, you can’t afford it, nobody can, not even a god." Xiao Nan looked down at the man on the ground, struggling in pain and seeking life: "He... is priceless."
