Chapter 133: Accepting the Task Again

  "How could...!" The drunkard fell softly to the ground, his small eyes rolling round and round, after which he completely lost all sound.

  "It's impossible!" The assassin muttered under his breath, then confirmed that the opponent was dead and searched for all the spoils on his body. He stretched out his index finger, a sharp ice knife formed, and with one stroke, he took off the opponent's head from the drunkard's neck. With a casual gesture, he absorbed the corpse below him into the system, and then disappeared in a flash of light on the spot.

  This assassin was naturally Wu Ye Yu, and his current identity was that of a killer in the outer sect of Tian Jue. However, unlike most people who became killers for money or to satisfy some kind of perverted hobby, Wu Ye Yu's purpose was simple: to increase his combat experience.

  A month ago, Wu Ye Yu found a local Tiān Jiǎo outer branch in Qing Shui Town with the help of Wu Zong Yue and successfully joined it to become a lowest-level Iron Plaque Killer. Afterwards, relying on the human skin mask left by his mother for disguise, he started taking tasks from there, completing tasks, which not only increased his combat experience but also allowed him to often obtain some good things from the targets.

  This was already Wu Yeru's sixth move, and unexpectedly almost fell at the last moment. All of Wu Yeru's subsequent tasks have a characteristic, or say, the bottom line for being an assassin. As long as the target has no major mistakes in life, he will not accept it. If the merit is greater than the fault, he will not accept it either. Only those who are evil and do bad things all their lives will be selected by him, and then become Wu Yeru's object of practice to hone his combat skills.

  "The drunkard in May, with a history of evil deeds, liked to abduct and force good women into prostitution. Every woman he got his hands on would be sold to a brothel within five months of entering his home, many of whom died by suicide with grievances. His most heinous crime was using poison to kill over 100 villagers just to get a beautiful woman, after which he fled to Linbo City to continue his evil ways. Alas! He indeed deserved death, and killing him would be doing justice for heaven."

  Wu Ye Yu was currently sitting in a dry area of the underground river channel in Lin Bo City, which was temporarily excavated by him using the system. It was very hidden and had various simple stone furniture inside, not exquisite but already enough to use.

  "Since the task is already completed, let's go back and hand it over!" Wu Yeyu put the target's head into a black box, threw it into the storage space, then covered up this temporary base before jumping into the water, disappearing in an instant.

  Since Wu Ye Yu upgraded the power of water to advanced level with the system's reward, the application of water has reached a very high degree, and its effective range has also expanded to a radius of one thousand meters.

  From the previous battle, it can be seen that the power of water has a certain effect. The blood arrow that was sprayed out of his mouth at the end is clearly a technique aimed at the strong energy, and its power must not be underestimated. Otherwise, it would not have penetrated the golden lightning energy shield. However, when it encountered the ice shield condensed by the power of water, the blood arrow was immediately blocked and instantly froze into ice, without even leaving any marks on the ice shield. It's worth noting that Wu Yeru's ability is not just for defense.

  "This is all for practical experience, I don't want to be just an ice elementalist or a spellcaster, I need to have both close combat and elemental output capabilities, and both hands must be strong!"

  In less than five minutes, Wu Yeyu took the underground river as a passage and quickly arrived outside Linbo City. The speed was several times faster than before. After leaving the city, he didn't stay and continued to dash towards Qing Shui Town at the bottom of the water.

  ……

  "Get to work!"

  At dawn, the sky was still a bit gloomy. Wu Ye Yu had already returned to Qing Shui Town, still with a hoarse and dry voice, wearing a human skin mask on his face, wrapped in a layer of black gauze, being extremely cautious.

  However, due to Wu Yeru's age, he was barely ten years old and not very tall, making it unlikely for him to disguise himself. There were secret methods in the system that could change one's body shape, but they were too expensive, and Wu Yeru couldn't bear to spend the money.

  Secondly, Wu Yeru is still too young, and even the cheaper secret methods have some side effects. If used, it would not be good for Wu Yeru's future development, so now he can only complete tasks with his original height.

  "Hey! It's you again, this is already the sixth mission, and it's only been a month since you registered as an assassin. You're really good at taking risks!" The mission handler was a dry old man with a very ordinary appearance, hunched back, and looked like he could be blown down by a gentle breeze. However, according to Wu Zongyue, the other party had been quietly hiding in this small town of Qing Shui for over 20 years and was the person in charge here.

  The old man checked the black box on the table that Wu Yeru had placed, and after confirming that everything was correct, he took out a blood-red jade panel and drew a stroke on it, apparently making a record. Then, from a tattered drawer, he took out two 100,000-tael silver notes and handed them to Wu Yeru.

  Wu Yeyu only accepted the silver ticket but did not accept the words, and this was indeed because of his guilty conscience.

  In his opinion, this kind of old man may not have anything else, but the experience of life and insight into people are definitely rich. As a child himself, he is easily seen through, and if he talks more, it's easy to reveal some clues, which would be bad for both parties when recognized. So he remained silent from start to finish, speaking less means making fewer mistakes.

  "Hmph! You're still a boring, uninteresting person. The old man saw Wu Ye Yu not speaking and said with some dissatisfaction, "Do you want to take on another task? In the next few days, I'll be out of town and won't be home, so if you don't accept it today, I'm afraid you won't have a chance for a while."

  Wu Ye pouted for a moment, then nodded at the old man. The old man casually tossed a small booklet to Wu Ye and said, "Hmm! Choose one yourself, these are all the tasks you can take on at this stage. The longest deadline is still a month. Hmm... there are also some tasks without level restrictions, but I don't recommend taking them, it's just sending yourself to death."

  The old man instructed tediously, the same words that Wu Yeru had heard several times before. As for whether he listened with his heart, only he himself knew.

  Wu Ye Yu roughly browsed through the tasks on the booklet, with difficulties ranging from Black Iron to White Silver Initial, and some of them had an urgent mark behind.

  These are tasks that belong to the emergency orders issued by the higher-level organization, which is what the old man said, so-called non-graded tasks. Generally, these tasks have a relatively tight deadline and high difficulty, but the reward after completing the task will also be much higher. These are prepared for those strong players who don't care about upgrading their card colors or levels.

  Wu Ye Yu naturally wouldn't choose this type of task, he had just entered the profession for a month, and this task almost ended in failure, if not for Wu Ye Yu's possession of water power, it would have really ended in disaster. He didn't think his current strength was enough to challenge the unranked difficulty.

  After carefully browsing the biographies of various task targets, Wu Yeyu measured them and chose a horse bandit leader with intermediate strength among the sword generals as his target for this task.

  This is a low-level mission for the Silver Hand, and the target is also evil. They often bring their subordinates to rob nearby villages, although they usually leave some survivors after each incident so that they can come again next time. However, every time they act, they take away many children and women to sell to slave traders in neighboring countries. Moreover, after each robbery, they cut off the legs of the young men in the village, making it impossible for them to escape. Their methods are extremely cruel.

  This time, the Silver Mission not only requires killing the leader of the horse bandits, but also has another requirement. If you can bring down all the horse bandits at the same time, the other party will give a treasured map as a reward.

  Wu Yeyu wasn't particularly interested in the treasure map, but he was very interested in wiping out that group of horse bandits, so he chose this task.
