Chapter 48: 048 Gluttony’s Death_1

Gluttony?

Feng Jiu suddenly turned into a monster, which gave Duge quite a scare. What the hell?

Advanced skills can actually bring out a mythical beast?

Almost all the people fighting in the courtyard stopped in their tracks. Whether affected by the Fear of the Delicate or not, everyone showed a horrified expression upon the appearance of Gluttony.

Now, no further proof was needed; everyone believed that Feng Qi and the others were indeed Heavenly Demons. Since when could humans turn into monsters?

The moment he saw Gluttony, Wang San turned tail and ran, moving through the crowd like a gust of wind.

Gluttony immediately followed.

Second in rank in the simulation field, Wang San’s attributes were not low, and he ran like the wind.

But having transformed into Gluttony, Feng Jiu was only faster, not slower than Wang San. Unlike Wang San, who circumvented the crowd, he plowed straight through it. Anyone he collided with got their bones broken and tendons snapped, as if he were the very fiendish beast Gluttony itself.

In the blink of an eye, he pounced behind Wang San, opened his huge mouth, and bit towards his head.

Seeing that Wang San was in trouble, Duge reacted, thrusting his longsword at Gluttony’s rear in a Backstab.

Pfft!

In an instant,

Duge stuck close behind Gluttony, his meter-long Longsword completely piercing Gluttony’s belly.

All who saw this scene shivered involuntarily.

Duge had no choice. He didn’t want to stab anywhere else, but Gluttony was different from a human. Its back was all scales except for this one weak point. His battle instinct guided him naturally towards this vulnerability.

Ying!

Gluttony raised its head, letting out a cry like that of a baby, abandoning the easy prey of Wang San. It turned swiftly and lashed its claws towards Duge.

Duge retreated rapidly, pulling the Longsword out of its belly.

Ying!

Another mournful scream.

Gluttony, completely forgetting its previous prey, eyes ablaze, lunged at Duge, clawing and biting. Trailing behind him were strings of dripping blood.

Duge dodged several times and seized the opportunity to sweep his sword at its neck.

Clang!

Sparks flew, and the Longsword nicked a notch, but Gluttony remained unharmed.

Struck by the Longsword, Gluttony first panicked, then its eyes lit up with joy. It let out a roar and swiped a claw down at Duge.

Duge dodged swiftly, aiming to circle around to its back to continue attacking its weak spot. The Gluttony, having learned from the earlier setback, didn’t allow it. It spun at the fastest speed, making sure its head was always facing Duge.

After transforming into Gluttony, Feng Jiu could almost match Duge’s speed. Human and beast created two circles of afterimages in the courtyard.

Seeing that he couldn’t break Gluttony’s defenses, Duge couldn’t help shouting, “Wang San.”

Wang San, coming back to his senses and still in shock, touched his head and quickly said, “My most beloved Gluttony, didn’t you want to gobble me up? Come on, I’ll let you eat me. You were chasing after me just now, why are you now going around in circles with someone else…”

Fear of the Delicate can affect any creature.

The moment Wang San spoke, Gluttony shuddered violently, abandoning Duge and dashing toward the exterior of the courtyard.

A ferocious beast’s instinct made him only want to flee from that frightening creature.

Backstab!

Once it turned around, it never stood a chance again before Duge.

Pfft!

The Longsword struck the heart once more.

This time, despite the pain from Fear of the Delicate, Gluttony did not dare to turn back and fight Duge, but screamed miserably as it bolted forward.

Duge followed closely, stabbing again and again.

Seeing Gluttony escape, Wang San quickly chased after, having to make sure he remained on the scene.

Otherwise, Fear of the Delicate would lose its effect.

Seeing both of them go after it, Feng Zhong, left on his own, did not hesitate to follow with his Longsword raised.

Though his attributes had increased, he had managed too few big maneuvers. Even ranked ninth in the simulation field, he was no match for these jianghu people, let alone because he didn’t possess any attacking skills.

If those coerced by Feng Qi were to turn traitor, he would be the first to get slaughtered.

No wise man stands under a wall that is about to collapse. Since unveiling his identity and keywords, sticking close to Duge was his only option left.

…

In the blink of an eye.

The three men and one beast charged out of the courtyard and onto the main street.

The rest, without Wang San’s restraint, regained their senses.

The appearance of a fierce beast had overturned everyone’s understanding of the world.

Han Zuo looked at Gao Yong, hesitated, and said, “Daoist Gao, shall we call it truce?”

“Stop running. You might as well surrender to Feng Qi!” Gao Yong glanced at Han Zuo and the others, suddenly weary, sheathed his Longsword, and persuaded, “You’re no match for him. Opposing him is a dead end. Surrender, and you may still have a chance at life. With the emergence of Gluttony, the world has truly changed.”

Having spoken,

Gao Yong no longer paid attention to Han Zuo and the others, leaped onto the courtyard wall, and looked outside. Compared to the Iron Palm Gang, he was more concerned about the fate of the ferocious beast Gluttony at the moment.

Ding Wanjie, Nie Nong, and Xia Mingliang followed and jumped onto the wall.

Han Zuo and the rest exchanged glances, astonished that they truly didn’t seize the opportunity to flee.

…

Gluttony charged wildly, the common folk on the streets dodged shrieking and shouting.

Duge was behind it, stabbing it rapidly with flickering motions.

For such a thick-skinned brute, letting it get away would leave him restless even in sleep.

Gluttony howled in agony, leaving a trail of blood as it fled.

From a distance, Wang San followed behind them, raising his voice to suppress Gluttony, “…you disgusting beast, are you enjoying being stabbed by his sword? Screaming so lasciviously in front of so many people…”

MMMP!

Chasing Gluttony, Duge’s face was covered in dark lines, thinking death pervading, do you ever have anything nice to say?

…

Witnessing the odd combination racing past, the onlookers were struck with awe, leaving the street hushed for a time.

Welcome Spring Building.

A petite maid stood on the second floor, looking through the window at the pitiful Gluttony fleeing in the street and the vicious Feng Qi clutching her buttocks instinctively. She swallowed her saliva and suddenly decided not to fight for a rank in the simulation anymore.

Honestly, it’s not bad just to stay in the simulation field until it’s over.

No, she should move to a city where Feng Qi isn’t present.

It was impossible for the simulation to maintain such vicious attacking skills; Feng Qi’s keywords must be something like sleazy and brutal. Even with such keywords, to derive such sinister skills, she reckoned he must have committed similar deeds.

There’s no way she could stay in the same city as that dead pervert.

…

The commotion persisted for merely two minutes.

With its vitals heavily damaged, the frenzied Gluttony suddenly shrank in size, gradually returning to Feng Jiu’s form.

Feng Jiu’s clothes had burst when he transformed into Gluttony, and as he reverted to human appearance, his clean body was covered with the dark Gluttonous Pattern, blood oozing continually from his back, and his steps became staggered.

Duge halted his pursuit; it felt somewhat inhumane to stab a man’s backside with a longsword in the middle of the street.

Out of habit, he had forgotten that Backstab could target other places too.

As the Gluttonous Pattern faded and disappeared from Feng Jiu’s body, he finally couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

With sword in hand, Duge watched warily as Feng Jiu’s breaths became faint, not daring to approach for fear he might pull some other trick.

But he was overthinking it. Feng Jiu just struggled to place a hand on his back, feeling the blood there. First, his eyes widened in shock, then quickly filled with shame and fury. He struggled to raise his head, crying hysterically, “Feng Qi, you and I are irreconcilable. Just don’t let me find out who you are in real life…”

“So what if you know? Would you dare tell others in real life how you died?” Duge taunted out of habit.

Feng Jiu’s voice stopped abruptly, pointing at Duge, “You… you…”

Spurt!

A stream of blood sprayed from Feng Jiu’s mouth. He convulsed a few times, then lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, not moving an inch, his face frozen with a mixture of shame, anger, resentment, hatred, a sense of relief, and more.

Duge was stunned, looking at Feng Jiu’s fan-shaped face, unsure if he died from rage or embarrassment.

However,

The moment Feng Jiu died, Duge distinctly felt his attributes surge significantly.

He didn’t understand the rules of the simulation and was unclear whether it was due to his repeated Backstabs on Gluttony, protecting the citizens of Luyang City, which increased his attributes, or if it was the simulation rewarding him for killing a player…

But Duge guessed it was mostly the latter.

Eat-chicken type games, after killing an enemy, you often get to loot; it’s normal in the simulation to get some rewards instead of looting, otherwise, there’d be no incentive for competition!

Looking at Feng Jiu, who lay dead in front of him and knowing that he was just eliminated, Duge couldn’t help feeling a tinge of regret, as if he had indeed taken a life, a sensation entirely different from killing NPCs in the simulation.

He curled his lips and thought, why make a simulation so realistic? Is this not a recipe for psychological issues among players?

What on earth is the outside world really like?

Amidst Duge’s rumination, Wang San caught up. Seeing Feng Jiu’s dead body, he cautiously asked, “Brother Qi, is he dead?”

“Yeah,” Duge nodded.

Wang San had no such sentiment, relievedly exhaled, his face showing relief, “Damn, that was close. How could there be such an outrageous advancement skill like transforming into Gluttony? How did he trigger it? Nearly got killed by him.”

Indeed.

Advancement skills are random.

Skills like the Gluttonous Pattern must be rare.

Duge glanced at Wang San without saying anything.

Feng Zhong also stood beside them, looking at the dead Feng Jiu and shaking his head, analyzing, “It must be a one-time thing. The duration he transformed into Gluttony must be related to his attributes. The higher the attributes, the more formidable Gluttony he would become. Otherwise, Gluttony wouldn’t be only two meters tall. It was bad luck for this guy. Otherwise, if he had hung on until the end and his attributes had grown, turning into an invincible giant Gluttony at the last moment could probably wipe out everyone.”

“Right, bad luck! Once out of here, I bet he wouldn’t dare tell anyone how he died in the simulation…” Wang San glanced at Duge’s bloodstained longsword and discreetly moved aside.
