Chapter 103: Killing Tower

Chen Hao arrived at Lu Fengfeng's office.

He opened the door and found Lu Fengfeng eating spicy skewers.

"Do you want some?"

Lu Fengfeng's mouth was covered in red chili oil.

"Forget it, I'm not into that."

"The things I asked you to help look into, any leads?"

"No."

Lu Fengfeng shook her head.

"Mental-type ability users are too rare."

"As soon as one appears, they get snatched up by major organizations."

"Their information gets hidden away, too."

"It's just too hard to find them."

Hearing this, Chen Hao felt a bit disappointed.

He had hoped for some results, but he had come back empty-handed.

"Looks like I'll just have to cultivate hard."

After an ability user's strength increases, their physical fitness improves, and their mental energy increases accordingly.

Chen Hao left Lu Fengfeng's office, intending to pick up a mission to do.

"Ding-dong!"

Just then, his phone rang.

He pulled it out and saw it was a notification from a certain app.

"This is... the Assassin Alliance App?"

Chen Hao suddenly remembered that ever since Bai Jie helped him download it, he hadn't opened it once.

Chen Hao clicked on the Assassin Alliance App icon and entered the interface.

He started trying to tinker with it.

Before long,

Chen Hao discovered the power of this app.

"You can not only place bounties on targets here, but also on items."

"As long as you can afford the Dark Coins, you can get whatever you want."

"But I don't have any Dark Coins."

Chen Hao checked his account and found that his Dark Coin balance was zero.

"I should go find Sister Bai Jie first and see if she has a way to get Dark Coins."

Chen Hao arrived at Bai Jie's medical room.

As soon as he walked in, he suddenly felt his eyes covered by something.

He immediately backed out.

At this moment, ten thousand "grass mud horses" were galloping through Chen Hao's heart.

"Could it be that I've been possessed by Nobita?"

That guy always managed to see Shizuka bathing, which eventually led to Shizuka having to marry him.

And Chen Hao... "Creak!"

Bai Jie opened the door.

"Sister Bai Jie, I..."

Bai Jie didn't speak; she wore a smile and pulled Chen Hao into the room.

Before long, a series of thumping sounds rang out in the room.

A few minutes later.

Chen Hao, sporting a black eye, looked at Bai Jie with a grievance-filled face.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "A woman's heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea."

"It's not like I haven't seen it before; everything was fine last time, why is she like this this time?"

"Isn't it supposed to be: the first time is strange, the second time is familiar, and the third time you're in bed together?"

"Speak, what do you want with me?"

Bai Jie crossed her arms over her chest.

"Bai Jie, I want to know where to get Dark Coins."

"Dark Coins? Why are you asking about that?"

"I want to look up some information, but I can't find it through normal means."

"I was thinking of using the Assassin Alliance's channels to see if I could get my hands on it."

Hearing this, Bai Jie nodded.

"Getting Dark Coins is actually simple: either top up or do missions."

"If you want to top up, you must first go and apply for a World Bank card."

"The exchange rate between Dark Coins and Dragon Coins is one to one million, I believe."

"What! One to one million!"

Hearing this, Chen Hao subconsciously searched for his own bounty mission.

"Good grief, the other party really thinks highly of me!"

"They actually spent thirty million to put a bounty on my life."

Chen Hao discovered that the bounty on him was as high as thirty Dark Coins.

"Sister Bai Jie, if I accept a mission,"

"how do I submit it after completing it?"

"It's very simple, I'll demonstrate once, and you'll know."

With that, Bai Jie transferred ten Dark Coins to Chen Hao's account.

After some searching,

Bai Jie selected a mission for Chen Hao.

"There, see? There's a yellow button here that says 'Submit Mission'."

"As long as you submit the mission, the people from the Assassin Alliance will review your progress."

"If you've completed it, the bounty will be deposited into your account."

Chen Hao: ... Chen Hao hadn't expected Bai Jie to just go ahead and accept a mission for him.

"Then what if I don't complete the mission?"

"The missions here basically all have time limits."

"When you accept a mission, you need to pay a certain penalty fee."

"If you can't complete the mission on time, then it's considered a failure."

"They will withhold your penalty fee."

"Why do I feel like this Assassin Alliance is actually quite humane?"

"Hmm???"

Hearing this, Bai Jie frowned.

Chen Hao smiled and said: "I thought that if an assassin accepted a mission and couldn't complete it,"

"then the Assassin Alliance would send out a new assassin and take out the previous one at the same time."

Hearing this, Bai Jie couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chen Hao.

"You think the Assassin Alliance is the Killing Tower!"

"What is the Killing Tower?"

Chen Hao discovered that he really didn't understand this world.

"The Killing Tower is an assassin organization; they have a total of one hundred people, with codenames from 001 to 100."

"The stronger the strength, the higher the ranking."

"The Assassin Alliance is considered a civilian organization; it's a mixed bag with all sorts of people."

"The Killing Tower is different; they are all assassins."

"Each one is like a heartless machine."

"Once a mission is assigned to them, they have only one goal, and that is to kill the target."

"The kind that spares no cost."

"Once, someone placed a hit in the Killing Tower on a high-level official within our Ability Bureau headquarters."

"The other side sent three experts and, at the cost of two deaths and one disability, killed our high-level official."

"Do you know what level of strength that official had?"

"What level? You wouldn't tell me it was the Venerable Realm, would you?"

Hearing this, Bai Jie gave Chen Hao a strange look.

If she hadn't read Chen Hao's file before, she might have really thought Chen Hao was playing dumb.

"You're right, it was the Venerable Realm."

"To be precise, it was the fifth stage of the Venerable Realm."

"At this level, they are basically rare existences."

"They are pivotal figures; every one of them is a master."

Listening to Bai Jie's words, Chen Hao frowned slightly.

"Rare? Pivotal?"

He couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

He seemed to have already envisioned the scene where, once he reached the Venerable Realm, he would find that Venerable Realm experts were as common as dogs and Monarch Realm experts were everywhere.

People exist in tiers.

When you are poor, you find that everyone around you is poor.

Once you become slightly successful, you will be surprised to find that the poor have disappeared.

The rich, on the other hand, have become more numerous.

"Alright, you should go do your mission."

"I have important matters to attend to, I'm leaving first."

With that, Bai Jie left.

Chen Hao took out his phone to check his mission.
