Chapter 59: Another Roulette Draw

Her talent is quite good, and she happens to be an assassin too.

If he taught her well, perhaps she could become the God of Assassins of this generation.

The God of Assassins is a legendary-tier profession, only one rank below the God of Swords.

One must reach the Eighth Rank to be promoted to God of Assassins.

This kind of unique profession can only have one holder in the world.

In other words, if his apprentice became the God of Assassins, there would never be a second one in the world.

This would be equivalent to taking one of the most powerful professional combat forces in the world and securing it under his command as a precaution.

Su Ming hadn't thought about building a faction for the time being.

But what if he needed one in the future?

Su Ming fell into deep thought.

If Lia hadn't force-fed him that bottle of antidote, he might have truly slept forever.

She is a good child.

Both her talent and her character make her worth it.

But Su Ming pondered for a long time.

In the end... he gave up.

Su Ming felt he didn't have much time to teach.

He didn't even have time to level up himself!

So, he decided to forget it.

"How long was I unconscious?"

Su Ming asked instead.

"A few hours, I think."

She pinched her fingers, calculating.

At this moment, Su Ming noticed there were still many bloodstains on her fingers.

As well as wounds deep enough to see the bone.

It was clear that she was still enduring pain at every moment.

They were cuts made by the Long Xiang blade.

"You were very brave at that time."

Su Ming praised.

"You helped me a lot."

He said with a serious expression.

She nodded, her eyes suddenly becoming firm.

"When a person truly becomes brave, that is when they grow up."

"That's what the village chief said when I was little." ===== CHAPTER 147 =====

"I know... it's time for me to grow up too!"

In her eyes, a radiance of longing for strength flickered.

She had killed the corpse inside the giant snake's shed skin; although she received no rewards or experience, she had been brave for once.

For her, this was the most precious trophy.

If there is a first time, there will be a second!

Su Ming bought two bottles of healing potion and poured them over her hands.

Soon, the wounds began to heal.

Then Su Ming began to organize his loot.

Su Ming put all of that man's equipment on the auction house.

After all, it was a blade, and he wasn't used to using one.

Everything added up to about several hundred thousand Arrival Coins.

"How could this person have so many good things?"

"Wealthy... too wealthy..."

"It's truly bizarre."

Su Ming's expression was grave.

What Su Ming found most strange was that this black-robed man actually had 100,000 Myriad Race Coins.

This number was even higher than his own.

Myriad Race Coins are the only currency that can be used to purchase items in the Myriad Worlds Shop.

Their priority is higher than the Arrival Coins used within the human race.

Moreover, it is the only currency common to all the myriad races.

In other words, demi-humans, orcs, elves, and other races also use Myriad Race Coins as currency!

This person actually had 100,000!

It was truly a bit terrifying...

"How could a level 20 person have so much wealth?"

Su Ming found it strange.

Subsequently, Su Ming tapped on the man's Heavenly Tower Society token.

A virtual screen list unfolded.

It didn't matter if Su Ming didn't look, but one look gave him a shock.

This man's Heavenly Tower Society token had dozens of completed historical missions!

The list was dense and packed.

They were basically low-rank F, E, and D-level missions.

A person in their twenties able to complete dozens of missions?

This was simply inconceivable.

Afterward, Su Ming found a notebook among his personal items.

This man had a habit of keeping a diary?

Su Ming immediately judged that this person was not a decent individual.

Decent people don't keep diaries!

Opening the diary, Su Ming understood.

It turned out this wasn't a diary at all.

It was a criminal record book.

Every page clearly recorded his targets.

[January, some year: Target 19-year-old student, profession Heavy Sword Fighter, the Heavenly Tower Society mission he accepted was to kill a poisoned newborn-level vampire, in the wilderness, extremely suitable for an attack.]

[Afterword: Success]

[December, some year: Target 21-year-old job-changer, his mission was to kill a mutated giant mosquito in the wilderness, mission reward 4,000 Myriad Race Coins.]

[Afterword: Success]

[June this year: Target 18-year-old student, Su Ming, key observation target, ten-star talent Sword Controller, acting as a lone wolf accepting a D-level mission, the location happens to be in the wilderness, extremely suitable for an attack!]

[...]

Su Ming's expression was grave.

It turned out this black-robed man, Ding Pan, was a criminal who went around killing people to hijack their rewards.

He would observe those low-level Heavenly Tower Society members and follow them as they completed their missions.

Then, at the final moment when they were fighting the monsters, he would emerge to kill both the person and the monster.

He would seize the supplies and complete the mission at the same time.

A typical act of reaping where one did not sow.

In a sense, this guy was a criminal genius.

With this kind of thinking, no wonder he had so many supplies and assets.

Su Ming had originally thought he was the fourth assassin sent by Zhang Tang.

Now it seemed he wasn't.

This guy had nothing to do with the Zhang family.

He was just a murderer who went around killing people to intercept mission rewards.

He himself had just been unlucky to be targeted by him.

"He has killed so many people; the Heavenly Tower Society and the state must have already noticed him."

"This guy might already be wanted."

Su Ming carefully put away his token.

If this person was truly a wanted criminal, then by using his token, he could claim the bounty reward.

The reward for killing this person might be even more generous than the mission reward for killing the giant snake.

It could be considered an extra harvest.

Su Ming took the opportunity to equip one of the man's items, the Keen Ring.

It could enhance one's five senses and strengthen combat perception.

Humans have ten fingers, so theoretically, one could wear ten rings at once.

But doing so would severely affect the feel of gripping a sword.

So Su Ming wouldn't wear too many.

He took off the ring that added 5 points of strength and put it on the auction house.

This bit of attribute was better than nothing for him, and this ring could sell for some money.

Subsequently, Su Ming opened the lottery roulette.

Now his Origin Sword Body's power had reached 20 times.

His strength had undergone a qualitative change.

After another round of drawing, his strength would climb to a new level once again.

[Drawing...]

The golden pointer spun continuously.

Finally, it stopped on an epic-tier slot.

[Millennium Purple Vein Lingzhi (Epic High-Grade)]

[After consumption, randomly increases all-body attributes]

Su Ming's eyes were shocked.

Millennium Purple Vein Lingzhi!

It could increase all-body attributes, and the value wouldn't be small.

The increased attributes would be permanent!

It could be called a top-tier version of the Marrow-Strengthening Pill.

The Marrow-Strengthening Pill could also enhance attributes, but it was only a gold-quality pill.

Why?

The weak effect was one aspect. ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
