I Became the King of Villains In the Game

Boom!

The trumpet musket sprayed out flames, and countless small steel balls spit out from the barrel of the gun.

A plague lunatic was blown away, bleeding profusely after falling to the ground.

"It's your turn, brother, go get the kill reward."

Rotten Persimmon reloaded the ammunition by himself, raised his eyelids and said to a teammate whom he loves next to him.

"Thank you, Brother Rotten Persimmon."

The latter smiled, and under the envious eyes of others, he rushed forward excitedly, raised the hatchet in his hand, and killed the plague lunatic.

Others also got a small amount of experience points because of the team formation.

"Brother Rotten Persimmon, we have been brushing here for several days, do we want to continue?"

Someone spoke.

"It feels like the number of 'Plague Crazies' nearby has decreased, and it seems that they won't be refreshed... There are more and more newcomers in the town. If this continues, the area will soon be free of blame."

Rotten Persimmon did not answer immediately, but opened his own panel.

He looked at the "LV9" behind the sub-profession [Church Guard], and then chose to upgrade. After a moment of blurring, the number immediately became "LV10".

Rotten Persimmon closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

Back, finally back, his level is finally back to level 10!

At this time, Rotten Persimmon wanted to shout loudly, but because of the ups and downs these days, his temper of jumping out was slightly precipitated. Coupled with the fact that there were seven or eight god-loving "brothers" watching, he felt that he should not lose too much, so he suppressed his excitement.

Rotten Persimmon told himself to keep a low profile and stop being reckless.

"Stop swiping, we're leaving Emerald Town today."

He put away the trumpet gun in his hand, and answered the teammate's question just now.

"Where is that going?"

a companion asked.

Rotten Persimmon turned to look at him, then glanced at the others.

"Amber City."

*

*

The most convenient and cost-effective way to travel from Emerald Town to Amber City is naturally by train.

However, the nearest train station to Emerald Town is not a short distance away. If you walk, it will take about half a day.

In order to get to the train station before dark, Lanshi led the team early, left Emerald Town and started on their way.

Slap!

The rotten persimmon crushed the dead branch with one foot, making a crisp sound.

He raised his hand to block the sun and squinted to look around. The scorching high temperature distorted the air, and the dazzling brilliance shone on the sand and gravel road, and the heat wave hit our faces.

"Find a cool place to rest first, it's too hot, my health is slowly being deducted..."

Rotten persimmon said to his companion.

The others couldn't bear the heat for a long time, and when they heard the voice of the leading brother, they immediately stepped forward and ran towards a big tree beside the road.

A group of seven or eight people just squeezed together under the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool.

Rotten Persimmon opened the panel map and checked the information on it. The area that was originally covered by fog dissipated after he bought the map of Emerald Town, and now he could clearly find the location of "Emerald Town Railway Station".

"Keep going, we only have an hour or two to go..."

Rotten Persimmon took out the water bottle, took a sip, and encouraged him.

When the others heard it, they were not very interested. This ghostly weather is really tormenting.

"It's just a pity that I didn't meet the bandit team, otherwise I could get some experience by the way... Didn't you say that the road leading to the train station is full of bandits?"

Seeing this, Rotten Persimmon changed the subject and asked.

A teammate wiped his sweat, shook his head and said:

"The plague broke out, and the robbers in the wilderness are probably dead... And even if there are survivors, they won't be so 'dedicated' in this hot weather, right?"

"It makes sense..."

Rotten Persimmon replied.

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a scream and indistinct curses from a distance.

"...Stop chasing me! Damn it! I know I'm handsome, but you don't need to pester me like this!"

Rotten Persimmon and the other teammates looked at each other.

"Go! Go and have a look! Maybe there are robbers around here!"

Immediately, a group of people ran towards the source of the sound.

It didn't take long for them to see a blond young man running wildly on the grass on the side of the main road, and behind him was chasing a disease lunatic in ragged clothes.

The blond young man wore a hat with feathers and a dirty cloak. He looked very down and out, but it couldn't conceal his noble temperament and handsome appearance.

The plague maniac who was chasing behind him was a middle-aged man with the appearance of a robber, holding a hatchet in his hand, and chased after the blond young man with a strange smile.

"what!"

The blond youth accidentally tripped over a stone.

He turned and stared wide-eyed as the blight maniac charged forward, hatchet raised.

Boom! !

There was a shot.

The madman who was about to commit an attack suddenly flew sideways, and the hatchet in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Rotten Persimmon led the team over.

He asked someone to make up the knife to kill the plague lunatic who was shot and fell to the ground, and then he looked at the blond youth.

"Alex...?"

He lost a probe and found that this was an ordinary person, and was immediately disappointed.

Originally, I thought that if I saved him, some mission would be triggered, but now nothing happened.

"Thank you for your helping hand."

Alex got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and saluted very gracefully.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Alex, a great bard."

He wiped the dirt off his face and smiled broadly.

"But in fact, I don't need your help... Even if you don't come, I will be fine. I'm just playing around with this patient."

Ignoring the slumped expressions of Rotten Persimmon and the others, Alexis glanced at the corpse at his feet.

He remembered something, bent down and picked up the hatchet, and fastened it to his waist.

"Actually, I am embarking on a world adventure that belongs to me. These dangers are just my seasoning, not worth mentioning... You even interrupted my interest, which is very rude."

Alexis talked eloquently.

Rotten Persimmon had already looked impatient, and a team member behind him also couldn't understand this ordinary NPC talking big, so he interrupted Alex's words:

"Okay, you bragging idiot, our elder brother saved your life, so you should get out of here quickly... I hope that next time you are in danger, no one will help you."

"I'm not bragging!"

Alex frowned, looking a little displeased.

"Okay, let's go."

Rotten Persimmon was too lazy to waste words with a foolish NPC, greeted his teammates, and planned to leave.

But Alex suddenly stopped them, took out the hatchet hanging from his waist, and stared at them angrily.

"You questioned me! You laughed at me and humiliated me! I, Alex, the great bard, don't allow you to trample on my dignity like this!"

He raised the hatchet in his hand and pointed at Lan Shi and his group.

"I want to challenge you to a duel! If you are a gentleman, accept the challenge bravely, otherwise you are a bunch of cowards!"

Everyone couldn't help being taken aback.

Lan Shi frowned, he didn't expect things to turn out like this. The brain of the NPC in front of him is probably broken to a certain extent, he is even crazier than a disease lunatic.

"Huh? I'm really not afraid of death!"

A team member behind Rotten Persimmon spoke.

He walked to Rotten Persimmon and whispered a few words. It means that this blond idiot looks good and has an extraordinary temperament. Maybe he has a hidden identity. Just kill him, and maybe he can reveal something.

Lan Shi frowned, thinking it made sense, so he nodded slightly at him.

"Come on, I accept your challenge, let's fight!"

After greeting Lan Shi, this beloved guild member walked straight forward and stood facing Alexis.

"Have the courage! Then don't talk nonsense, just start!"

Alex akimbo scolded.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his hatchet and rushed towards his opponent with great momentum.

"Dragon Slayer Ax!"

With a ferocious face, he yelled and slammed down the hatchet!

The others were taken aback by his shout.

Dragon Slaying Axe? !

Snapped!

The player who was dueling with Alex held a rusty sickle and raised his weapon to hook the handle of the axe.

He was originally a little nervous, but suddenly turned into disdain, and then with a little force, he overturned Alex's hand.

The hatchet fell to the ground with a snap.

"this one?"

The player sneered, raised his hand, and the sickle passed across Alex's neck.

Puff--!

Alex's eyes were rounded, and his expression was startled.

"My... world adventure is coming to this... is it over?"

His throat was cut and blood spurted out. In the next second, his body softened and he fell to the ground.

A harmonica also fell out of his arms.

[You killed the bard Alex, you got 10 experience points! 】

The players participating in the duel curled their lips, wiped the blood on the sickle, and then bent down to pick up the harmonica on the ground.

【Sundries-Harmonica】

Item description: An ordinary wooden harmonica, a small wind instrument. Its original owner seems to be a wandering bard, unfortunately, he was brutally murdered in a duel.

"Bah, what rubbish."

The player spit and threw the harmonica away.

"It's just an ordinary NPC with only 10 experience points, and it didn't trigger any other prompt boxes..."

"It goes without saying, because each of us is only allocated 1 experience point."

Someone responded with a smile.

Rotten Persimmon exhaled, shook his head and said:

"Let's go, don't waste time."

"Okay, Brother Rotten Persimmon."

The group ignored the corpses on the ground and left here straight away.

A certain player walking behind the team even picked up the hatchet. There is no way, they are really poor, and they don't even have a decent piece of equipment. This hatchet is much easier to use than a rusty kitchen knife.

After continuing to walk like this for about ten minutes, everyone suddenly heard a burst of screams and curses again.

"...Damn bastard! I slipped! Oh, my handsome face is covered in disgusting dirt like this! Go away! Don't chase me!"

Lan Shi and his teammates looked at each other, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.

"Go and see..."

Lan Persimmon gave an order, and then led the team to run to the source of the sound.

After a few breaths, they left the main road, and at the foot of a hillside covered with weeds, they saw a blond young man being chased by a mad dog infected with the disease.

The blond young man wore a hat with feathers on his head and a dirty cloak, his handsome appearance, and his tall stature...

"!!"

Including Rotten Persimmon, seven or eight players were dumbfounded.

Isn't the guy being chased by the dog in front of him the wandering bard from before? ! But he was killed just now, why did he appear here again in the blink of an eye? !

Back from the dead?

Or another twin brother?

"what!"

The blond youth was thrown to the ground.

The mad dog opened its mouth full of saliva and bit down on his neck.

"Brother Rotten Persimmon..."

The companions of God's Love Guild looked at Lan Persimmon.

But this time, Rotten Persimmon just frowned and stood quietly on the spot, watching with nothing. There was no rescue like before.

"Ah!!"

With a scream, the blond youth was bitten through the throat by the mad dog, blood spattered everywhere, his hands and feet twitched and struggled for a while, then became silent.

Rotten Persimmon led his teammates closer, and with a bang shot, he killed the mad dog that was eating the corpse.

Then the group of them gathered around the body of the blond youth and looked at it for a while.

"This... is the bard from before, who seems to be the guy named 'Alex', why did he appear again?"

"Is it possible that they look alike but are not the same person?"

"No, he is indeed right. I checked it with 'Explorer' just now...it's called 'Alexis'."

Rotten Persimmon frowned and said.

When the others heard it, they immediately felt creepy.

They clearly saw with their own eyes that this guy was killed by his teammates, and even received a kill prompt, and the experience points were all distributed. Why did he appear again? !

This is completely unreasonable!

Rotten Persimmon took a step forward, picked up the harmonica that fell by Alex's hand, and wiped the blood stained on it.

【Sundries-Harmonica】

Item description: An ordinary wooden harmonica, a small wind instrument. Its original owner appears to have been a wandering bard. Unfortunately, while traveling, he was killed by a mad dog infected with the disease.

Lan Shi thought for a while, put the harmonica in his hand into his pocket, then turned around, and took the lead.

"Go! Get out of here quickly!"

he whispered.

"Let's hurry to the train station, this thing is so queer!"

The others looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of panic in each other's eyes.

"It's really weird, let's go!"

"Walk!"

Lanshi took the lead and started running forward, and the members of the same team also followed, gritted their teeth and ran.

They have just logged into this game not long ago, and their first impression of this world is gloomy and depressing.

For the past two days, they have been brushing monsters on the "Plague Block" map, and their nerves are a little weak. Not long after he left, he encountered such an even more eerie and frightening incident.

It's really frightening.

The afternoon sun is getting hotter and the temperature is getting hotter.

After running for a few minutes, they all stopped.

Following Rotten Persimmon's gaze, the team members looked towards the hillside ahead to the right, and saw a blond young man hanging upside down from a tree.

They looked at the man quietly, and the man was also upside down, looking at them, looking at each other.

On this scorching summer day, Rotten Shi and his party broke out in a cold sweat!

"Then... is that guy a ghost?!"

Someone spoke tremblingly.

"I don't play anymore! I feel like my sleeping cabin is moving!"

The two sides are tens of meters apart.

Alex seemed to be hanging on the tree because he stepped on some kind of trap and seemed to be caught by someone.

He showed no fear, staggered in mid-air, and waved to Lan Shi and his group.

"Hey! Travelers passing by, hello!"

Alexis was very happy to see the players, and twisted in mid-air.

"Are you trying to save me? Ha! Thanks a lot! But you don't have to!

I, Alex, am a great bard, an adventurer who wants to travel around the world, and this little danger does not bother me! "

He groped around for a while, then took out a harmonica, and hung upside down like this, playing a beautiful melody.

Rotten Persimmon stared at it with wide eyes, stretched out his hand into his pocket, but trembled suddenly.

He found that the harmonica he had picked up before was gone!

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Rotten Persimmon didn't care that much, amidst the brisk sound of the harmonica, he turned around and ran crazily.

Seeing this, the other teammates also buried their heads and ran wildly.

After half an hour.

Lan Shi and his party finally arrived at the train station, they collapsed at the door almost collapsed, soaked and in a panic.

The weird things they encountered on the way before are still lingering in their minds, and it feels intrusive to think about it.

I rested for a long time.

With trembling legs, Rotten Persimmon took the lead and stood up.

"Brothers, we've arrived at the train station! Don't waste time, let's go now!"

Amidst howling, everyone reluctantly dragged their tired bodies, bought train tickets with Rotten Persimmon, and then boarded the train to Amber City.

As soon as they found their seats and sat down, everyone leaned on the chairs in a daze and fell into a deep sleep.

There is also sleep in the game. This kind of doll-style deep sleep can be understood as a negative state after physical exhaustion, and can also be regarded as a "cheap means" to restore physical strength and life.

At some point, it can also be used by players as a way to skip the boring time.

The specific experience is... It is similar to normal sleep when offline, but there is an additional option that can be scheduled.

I don't know how long it has passed.

Rotten Persimmon woke up suddenly.

He glanced around. In the moving train carriage, his companions from God Love Guild were still sleeping on their chairs, while the other passengers were silently doing their own things.

clang clang clang clang...

The shaking is accompanied by the rhythmic sound of wheel and rail.

The scenery outside the window flashed by.

A strange uneasiness filled Lanshi's heart, he opened the panel and looked at it, and his expression of indifference suddenly froze.

"The level has dropped to level 9...?!"

He stared blankly at the panel with an expression of disbelief.

"The number of resurrections has also decreased by one?! When is it...?"

Rotten Persimmon was completely in a state of bewilderment, because he didn't even remember when he died once.

He woke up the others in a panic, and then hurriedly asked in their confused eyes:

"Take a look at your panel, has the level dropped? Has the number of resurrections decreased?"

"Level drop? The number of resurrections... decreased?"

The expressions of the other team members became puzzled, and at the urging of their eldest brother, Lanshi, they opened the panels one after another to check.

"!!"

Soon, their expressions were exactly the same, and they became extremely surprised.

"Really...really downgraded! The number of resurrections has also been reduced by one!"

"what happened?!"

"Why did we all die once? When did it happen? I have no memory at all!"

They were all slightly flustered.

Rotten Persimmon took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He remembered something, opened the panel again, and carefully looked through the past reminder records.

Soon, his pupils shrank.

The latest prompt box shows——

【You were killed by bard Alexis in your sleep! 】
