Chapter 39: Chapter 42 Unexpected PK Victory_1
Chapter 39 -42 Unexpected PK Victory_1
Based on the information in the texts, it was apparent that he stood a pathetic chance of winning against this particular Apostle.
But this invasion was related to his task reward and to the substantial amount of spirituality he possessed. Even if he didn’t stand a chance, he had to fight.
His hands rapidly clicked on option two, hoping to cast his magic before the opponent could close in.
Only then would he have a ray of hope to win!
[You raise your wand-spear and silently chant the spell…]
[The powerful Apostle, flickering with white light, suddenly takes off her gloves and starts begging for mercy on her knees.]
[Will you show mercy and spare her?]
“…What’s going on? Why isn’t she fighting me?”
Lin Xun was confused, but there was no time for musings. He couldn’t afford to be soft-hearted now, so he pressed ‘No.’
[A flash of red light…]
[The invaded Apostle seems to be slightly injured, you raise your wand-spear and continue chanting…]
She was still alive after one skill, this opponent was really tough!
Lin Xun was taken aback, wondering why such a powerful opponent wouldn’t fight him back.
“This is strange…” However, his hands didn’t stop; he continued his assault.
Only a scoundrel would let such an opportunity pass.
[The powerful Apostle, flickering with white light, remains kneeling on the ground, showing no signs of resistance…]
[A flash of red light…]
[The invaded Apostle seems to have taken some damage, you raise your scepter and continue chanting…]
[A flash of red light…]
…
[A flash of red light…]
[You have defeated the Apostle ‘Little White Deer’ and gained 1035 spirituality points.]
[You are now returning to your chapter…]
Lin Xun had to use several skills to defeat the unresisting Apostle.
He was puzzled by her unusual actions, but when he saw the opponent’s soul imprint, he was dumbfounded.

The Apostle who let him attack was…Lu Caiyi!
He hurriedly dialed the girl in the white dress.
“Ding…Ding…”
“Hello~ Is it Lin Xun?”
Lu Caiyi’s voice sounded somewhat depressed.
“Were you the one who was invaded just now? Why didn’t you fight back?” Lin Xun asked hurriedly.
“I recognized you…the wand-spear is such a distinct weapon. How could you not recognize me…I didn’t retaliate, yet you kept hitting me…”
The girl’s voice sounded aggrieved, making Lin Xun feel guilty all of a sudden.
“I’m really sorry, I truly didn’t notice…”
“As soon as I finish this chapter, I’ll return your spirituality at the library!”
After all, they were teammates who had fought together. The fact that he had defeated her couldn’t be changed, but he couldn’t keep her spirituality, could he?
That would be too much. Lin Xun wasn’t that kind of person.
Upon hearing his words, Lu Caiyi on the other end of the phone shook her head: “It’s okay, just consider the spirituality as a gift to you.”
A thousand points of spirituality were not particularly precious to her.
The sincere voice came from the phone: “I wouldn’t feel right about that…how about I treat you to dinner tonight as an apology?”
“…”
Lu Caiyi’s face instantly turned beet red, and she hurriedly covered her beautiful face.
…
Now, let’s go back to this morning at the Special Affairs Office of Wencheng Public Security Bureau.
Deputy team leader’s office on the third floor.
The burly, bearded middle-aged man – Team Leader Wang, was looking at Lu Caiyi, who had just returned from a mission, and said:
“Yi Yi, how was the mission this time?”
Lu Caiyi held the hem of her dress nervously and muttered, “Boss, I’ve added the contact info of some ladies from the Intelligence Team and also made book friends in the game.”
“Well done, you got their contact info and book friends in just one day. I knew I saw potential in you!”
Lu Caiyi looked at the leader’s joyful face and swallowed the words “actually, the ladies from the Intelligence Team took the initiative to add me”.
All of a sudden, the chief changed his expression as if he remembered something. He warned, “Yi Yi, I heard the Intelligence Team recently recruited a pretty boy. He seems to have joined without going through the usual tests.”
“This pretty boy must have used his looks to get in. When I first joined, I went through so much hardship that I almost cracked my molars. I never thought something so shameful could happen.”
“Yi Yi, such a person is not within your scope of headhunting, understand?”
“Eh?” Lu Caiyi opened her mouth wide in surprise.
“Also, you need to watch out for his good looks. Don’t get yourself into trouble while trying to outwit him.”
Shouldn’t the fact that he was recruited without testing mean that the Apostle was extraordinarily talented?
How did the leader associate this with nepotism?
“What? Any problem?”
Lu Caiyi shook her head, about to stand up for Lin Xun.
But then she thought that if she spoke up for Lin Xun, the chief might think she had been seduced. So, she didn’t speak up.
She decided to quietly carry out her plan to bring Lin Xun over and then tell the truth to her boss, dazzling everyone.
“Li Xingyue said you did a great job this time. She needs you for the follow-up plans for the mission. It’s really a blessing in disguise, Yi Yi. I’m sorry but you’ll have to spend some more time in the Intelligence Team. Continue with the headhunting mission!”
…
Lu Caiyi, upon hearing Lin Xun’s invitation to dinner, thought about her headhunting mission and, fighting shyness, agreed, “Ok.”
“Then it’s settled. I know a place that serves tasty dishes…”
After ending the call, Lu Caiyi reminded herself that dinner was merely for the mission and not another blind date. She must not let personal emotions get in the way.
For a moment, Lu Caiyi’s mind buzzed with thoughts and her cheeks flushed.
…
Upon hearing Lu Caiyi’s agreement, the guilt in Lin Xun’s heart was relieved a lot.
He intentionally picked a food stall instead of a restaurant with private rooms.
If they were to dine alone in a private room, it would seem like a date and Lu Caiyi might misunderstand and refuse.
He hung up and returned to the game.
The ‘Hungry Old Man’ was shocked to see your sweeping victories and feigned ignorance of you…
Hmm? He clicked to chat again.
You stepped forward to chat, the old man slowly looked up at you as if he didn’t know you, then lowered his head and pretended to stare at the candle flame in front of him.
Lin Xun was amused by this NPC. After one trick, he was trying to deny the reward due to him.
He wouldn’t put up with this sort of person. He directly opened the skill bar and was about to use ‘Profane Sunlight’.
Accept the punishment of the laser cannon!
Seeing you glare fiercely, the ‘Hungry Old Man’ slowly raised his staff, quickly took out a roll of parchment from his ragged robe, and handed it to you. His face showed a very familiar and flattering expression.
You got the ‘Forgotten Afterglow Abyss’ (map).
Heh~what a jerk!
Lin Xun snorted and withdrew his finger from the skill icon.
He opened the item bar and clicked on the map.
‘Forgotten Afterglow Abyss’ (map), it records the ‘Forgotten Afterglow Abyss’ located below the lowermost level of the Saint Lance sewer. After using the map, you will be able to find the device to reach that place based on the guidance.
The Forgotten Afterglow Abyss, judging by the name, seemed to be a place filled with ‘ingredients’.
Lin Xun was taken aback and felt as if he had gotten something incredible.
He kept the item carefully without using it immediately. The route in the sewer hadn’t been fully explored yet.
It wouldn’t be too late to use this item after he had thoroughly searched the sewer.
After talking to the ‘Hungry Old Man’ again, it seemed as though he really had no more goods after giving the reward. Even after Lin Xun raised his weapon several times, the old man kept begging for mercy but never gave any items.
Perhaps only after going to the ‘Forgotten Afterglow Abyss’ and then coming back to find the ‘Hungry Old Man’ would the subsequent dialogue be triggered.
Lin Xun left and continued exploring the sewer.
