Chapter 9 - First PK.

"Await, I'm not a villain who wants you harm." Gray was plated against the tree while the scarlet sword was one inch from his throat; a small movement on his part, and he was going to do his death experiment in [Progress Online].

"Ho~? Harm me? Can you only to do that?" A Machiavellian smile stood on Kasel's lips while he was playing with Gray.

[[FuckAll: this NPC is scary! OMG!]]

[[LiliadPlayade: Too charming! Why did he have to be an NPC?!]]

[[...

Gray, who was going through the most traumatic period of his life, had never hated his subscribers until now. These bastards were in fact happy with his situation. What bled his heart was that he had not only reached 1 million subscribers and 800 thousand followers on his stream, but above all, he received more than $1000 in donations since he set foot in the forest!! How cruel are humans?!

"Answer my question... - Kasel suddenly had an ingenious idea.

"Yes, ask me anything you want, sir!"

"Hmm, very well. So explain to me, one thing.

"Yes?"

"Is it you who control this strange machine that has been following us since just now?" Kasel asked, pointing his finger at the camera floating above them.

"What?! Don't you know what it is?"

[[TheStronggestt: Well of course he doesn't know, it's an NPC, idiot. Tell him it's a nuclear bomb, I'm sure he'll run away with his tail between his legs.]]

[[FuckAll: bouhahah, you're the idiot. Since he doesn't know a cam, no chance he can know what a nucellar bomb is!]]

[[TheStronggestt: Tehee !!]]

Seeing Kasel silent, Gray hastily gave his answer. "It's a device that allows you to be known around the world!"

Hearing his explanations, Kasel, who was 100% in his role as NPC, moved away from Gray.

"Is this strange sphere capable of doing such things just by floating around us?"

"Y-Yes, that's its function. - Gray replied by checking his neck after Kasel put away his sword.

Nodd

"Well, then come with me." As soon as Kasel spoke these words, he disappeared in front of Gray sprinting to Avery's location.

You will be a good little slot machine that will make advertising work easier for me. - he says in his thoughts with a stingy smile.

Seeing him disappear in front of him, Gray sighed in relief. "Obviously I'm not going to follow a psychopath like you!" He screamed these words, turning around to get away as quickly as possible to Kasel.

But unfortunately for him, his system interface was as bugged with the waves of endless messages from his followers who did everything to dissuade him from leaving. Some threatened him while others lured him with three-digit donations.

...

Meanwhile, Avery was still engaged in a duel of wear and tear with Tiger's group.

"Wind arrows." She shouted these words out of breath as she get tired.

"Keep attacking, we're almost there. She will soon be in [Oom]!" The group's tank encouraged his subordinates to coordinate their attacks as if they were fighting against a dungeon boss.

[TigerHalberd: Lvl 11.]

[HP: 34/110]

--

[TigerSpear: Lvl 10]

[HP: 15/100]

--

[TigerSword: Lvl 10]

[HP: 11/100]

--

The reason for their anger was because of this! How could they accept such results?!

-Crack, crack, Crackk!!

Avery had wide eyes as she breathed and greedily exhaled the air as if she was going to choke from one moment to the next; to make the situation worse, her shield was beginning to crack, and her magic orb had exhausted her time of use, it was in [Cooldown] right now! All these signs showed that she was running out of mana.

"Kahaha!! Keep attacking her, she won't be able to do anything once her shield has given in."

'Tsk, I have no choice but to break the shield and bomb them with offensive magic! - she grimaced when she saw that her orb was now unusable for the next 12 hours. Therefore, not only will she no longer be able to launch two successive attacks, but she would soon run out of mana if she continues to keep the shield around her. And if unfortunately, this happens, she will be at the mercy of these pigs with a human appearance.

"Sigh, let's hope I could disconnect." She said by clicking on the menu of her interface and entering the disconnection tab and pressing it with a heavy heart.

She preferred to log out by abandoning her quest to obtain class rather than leave her character at the mercy of these players.

But soon, her face lost all its color when she saw the new notification in front of her.

You cannot log out until the quest is completed. |

'Oh, goddess!! - She wanted to shout these words out loud while cursing the games master. But knowing that her fit of anger will be useless, she bit her lips and canceled her shield with desperate eyes.

"Kaka! What did I say? She's out of [HYD], capture her!" TigerHalberd laughed at sarcasm and ordered TigerSword who was closer to Avery!

But as soon as Tigersword was about to catch Avery's hand...

-Puff!

Wind spear. |

A wind spear crossed his throat!

[TigerSword: Lvl 10]

[HP: 0/100]

[You killed the TigerSword player(Lvl10)]

[+50XP]

[HYD: 0/90]

She used her last mana reserves to finish the player with the weakest [HP]!

-F*ck!! - TigerSpear growled with irritation but did not advance towards Avery; out of mistrust!

-Fall...

Indescribable dizziness staggered Avery who collapsed directly to the ground.

"What are you waiting for? Go tie her up before she gets up!" The tank ordered his DPS with these words. Even if it was a little strange, TigerSpear was still the DPS of the group despite the presence of TigerSword in the group.

"It may be another cunning on her part, boss! - TigerSpear replied.

"But no, idiot! Even if she is a famous actress, she will not be able to simulate such an expression. She is definitely short of mana! - The boss of the group persecuted the ground with his halberd in an irritated tone.

But despite everything, he himself stood firmly in his place.

Just at that moment, a frightening notification appeared in front of them via their game interfaces.

Your [Mate], TigerGun is dead. |

"What?! TigerGun is dead?! So does that mean that...

"No, it's impossible that he suffered a [OneShot]. But his [HP] were intact at most there is a second..."

While the two did not want to think of a frightening hypothesis, the sounds of the steps resounded behind them.

"My faith, I don't know if I'm a failed trader who lets his first customer be intimidated by brutes, or if I'm an idiot who trusted the power of his customer." White mask, scarlet sword... Kasel made his appearance accompanied by Gray who followed him from behind with caution.

"H-How is that possible?! He defeated TigerGun so easily who is at the same level as the boss while he himself is only at level five?! It's...!

-Eeeek!

Even before TigerSpear could finish his sentence, he saw a scarlet blade embedded in his abdomen!

"Chuut, garbage like you has no place in our world. I would like to kill you slowly but, I lack time; so consider yourself lucky to have a sweet death, little b*stard! - Kasel calmly murmured these words in TigerSpear's ear in a monotonous voice.

You have carried a critical attack on your target. |

You killed the TigerSpear player. |

+50XP|

"Damn, son of a b*tch, I'm going to kill you! - TigerHalberd rushed towards Kasel with a heavy step and jumped into the air by making a vertical slash down to slice Kasel into two separate pieces.

Kasel only leaned his body slightly aside with nonchalance. - You don't intend to kill me with such mediocre skills, do you?

"Beware, assh*le." Bubbling with rage, TigerHalberd shook his halberd in all directions in the hope of reaching his target.

After a fierce battle with Avery, TigerHalberd had used most of his offensive skills that are in Cooldown at the moment; coupled with the fact that he is a Tank that has put most of the Stats in strength and endurance,

Therefore, at the moment, he had no chance against Kasel!

-Sigh, you players believe that combat is only a matter of skill and Stats, doesn't it? Maybe it's true in other games but in these games, they're just one of the factors to become strong!' He murmured these words to himself and made a sweeping down with his right foot by falling down TigerHalberd on his back.

-Plouf!

His sword crossed TigerHalberd's swollen belly to the ground.

-Urgh... u, son of...

You have carried a critical attack on your target. |

You killed the TigerHalberd player (Lvl 11). |

+55XP|

[XP: 15/500] ->[XP: 175/500]

Items drops Halberd - sword - arc (common)|

"Tsk, they are not even worthy of being PKs." He slammed his tongue when he saw the mediocre rewards of their shares.

Then, he sprinted towards Avery who was lying on the ground ten meters from him. - Hey, you there.

"Yes, yes! What do you want me?!" Gray responds with hastily

[[Eryface: hehe, u are his pet now?]]

[[Endelesswave: THIS NPC is too cheated!]]

[[10〒 from [Eryface].]]

"Bring me the red flower that is under your feet, quickly!" He said, addressing Gray.'s

"O-okay!" He bowed his knees and tore the red flower from three clovers and brought it urgently to Kasel.

"Idiot, I'm talking about the other red flower that has four clovers. Above all, don't tear it directly from the ground, just pick two of its four clovers with your other hand that has not yet touched the three-way flower."

Kasel's words gave explanations that were both simple but complicated for Gray, who had pressure made him dizzy.

But in the end, he was still able to follow Kasel's orders to the letter by taking two leaves of flowers with four clovers with his left hand that had not touched the first flower and giving it to Kasel.

Kasel took the flower while supporting Avery and place her head on his knees. Afterward, he crushed the two clovers in his hand and then let the greenish liquid flow into Avery's mouth after slightly pressing on her chin to open her mouth.

Throughout the process, Avery was conscious but she could not make any movement; her body was as if frozen.

"Do not resist, it is a basic potion drink that will help you restore your [HYD (MP)] a little. - Kasel reassured her by seeing her teeth tight and preventing the slightly salty liquid from flowing into her throat.

But in the end, she stopped struggling when she heard Kasel's explanations. But what reassured her the most was the notification that had appeared on her system.

[+1HYD]

[+2HYD]

[+1HYD]

[+... HYD]

[...]

Your points of [HYD] are restored. |

[HYD: 90/90]

-Instantly...

She stood on Kasel's lap with grateful eyes.

Thank you, I thought I was really going to die! - She said with a grateful expression.

Kasel reached his hand to her.

"??"

"It wasn't free, it's 10〒." He said with a smile that went from one ear to the other.

"Tsk, I had forgotten your scam nature." She says by placing her palm on Kasel's palm and transferring to him 10〒.

You received 10〒 from player Avery. |

Thanks to your actions and your insight to have managed to use the environment to create Hydrar (common) restoration potion, you have obtained the title of [beginner Alchemist]. |

20% chance to create single-level potions. - you now can create common (Restoration of [HYD, STA]) potions. |

Smirk...

He acted as if nothing had happened and headed to Gray, making the same sign he had made to Avery.

"Hm? But it wasn't me who consumed the potion, why should I pay?" He took a step back.

"It's simple, the information you have just learned will not only be known to you, but also to the people who look at us through this little black sphere. Therefore, not only will you pay for yourself, but also for the people who watch us!" Kasel gave this explanation without blinking.

[[You received 50〒 from [AmOff].]]

[[AmOff: He's right, it's information that will be very useful to us in the future.]]

Even if he saw the gift of his surplus donor, he was still not ready to give up a penny for Kasel.

"I don't even remember the flower I uprooted. So I don't owe you anything!"

"Sigh, very well. So let me give you free information instead. Your right hand is starting to peck, isn't it? If I'm not mistaken, it must now turn a little red." Kasel had a dirty smile by saying these words.

"!!! Huh?! What happened to my hand?'s Why is it suddenly like that?" He was horrified to see his palm redder as if he had just put it in a bucket filled with blood.

"Well, it's because of the first flower you brought me. But as I don't remember what flower it is, then I can't treat the fish that will soon paralyze you for twenty-four hours! Imagine lying alone here, in this forest, in the middle of monsters for 24 hours in a row... I'm sure the monsters will take their time to eat you slowly until you die."

Hearing Kasel's words, his face turned pale while Avery looked at him with an interrogative air. She didn't know when and how Kasel met another player, what's more, a streamer!

"You can cure me, can't you? Come on, tell me that you are capable of it!" He grabbed Kasel by the shoulders and shook him with a panicked air.

"I don't know, but what I'm sure of is that you only have five minutes before the poison paralyzes you. Sigh, if only I knew the flower you brought me, maybe I could find a solution to help you."

"It is the three-fleet flower that I brought first and then the other four-clover flower that is a mana restoration potion. Now that you have what you want, take care of me." Gray had sparkling sweat beads on his forehead.

'Is he really stupid or does he pretends?' Kasel wondered under his tongue with a mocking smile.

"Very well, now that you remember the two flowers and their effects, you must not only pay 20 coins for the information but also 30 coins as a healing fee and finally, 100 coins to pay the cost of your spectators' information. Which makes in total, 150 coins of progress on your slate; payables in advance!" Kasel listed these figures with his fingers without brooding or feeling guilty.

[[AmOff: It will teach you to be less greedy, Fufu~.]]

Gray almost died of a heart attack even if he was in the game. - But, it's less the fivefold what this girl paid! Why so much injustice between us?!" He asked with a depressed air.

"It's simple. First, she is my first client, and second, you tried to scam me. You only have less than four minutes left. The choice is yours." Subsequently, he turned to Avery with a professional smile.

"Miss Avery, if you feel good now, can we go back on the road? We have about two days of travel in front of us!" He helped Avery get up by offering her a palm of his hand like an accomplished gentleman.

"Wait, take the money and take care of me!" Gray bit his lips and ran after Kasel to catch him!
