The butcher's knife was quick.
In one swift motion, he sliced through the upper half of Xiang Weishan's body, causing blood to gush out violently. Even with such a fatal wound, Xiang Weishan still didn't die. He made strange noises and clawed at the air with seaweed-like hands, his face twisting into an eerie smile that was identical to the boneless corpse they had seen at the guild headquarters.
Finally, the butcher tossed the iron chain he was holding and hung Xiang Weishan upside down from the ceiling of the meat shop. The corpse swayed gently.
Xiang Weishan's subordinates watched from afar, their faces drained of color.
"What happened?"
"I thought Xiang Weishan already completed the game? Why did he die?"
They were too far away to see what had happened, but they saw the butcher attack Xiang Weishan after he had just finished speaking, and then...he died.
The three people in the meat shop also looked terrible.
The butcher...had started killing!
Who would be next? Would it be Zhao Yi, who was standing next to him?
They held their breath, their minds blank with fear.
But soon they realized that the butcher didn't seem to have any intention of continuing his killing spree. He turned around and went back into the kitchen, bringing out a bowl of soup for Zhao Yi.
"You completed my task. This is your reward."
Zhao Yi took the soup from the butcher, and information about the soup flashed in his eyes.
[Item: Butcher's carefully prepared soup]
[Quality: Consumable]
[Introduction: Although he is a butcher, his culinary skills are impeccable. However, for some reason, the food he makes always contains resentment and indignation!]
[Effect: Overdraw part of your life force, gain tremendous strength, and fall into a state of uncontrollable rage for five minutes. After the frenzy ends, you will lose all combat capabilities for the next twelve hours!]
[Note: Do you want to be a coward for the rest of your life, or a hero for a moment?]
"Thank you."
Although the side effects of this item were huge, its effects were significant. In certain special circumstances, it could be a lifesaver!
He took the soup from the butcher, and the system began to broadcast news about Zhao Yi.
[Congratulations to player Zhao Yi for unlocking the new guild scene - the meat shop. This scene is still a neutral scene, and players can purchase meat products from here. However, there will be no protection around this scene. Also, please do not try to anger the owner of the meat shop, the butcher.]
[The world task has been completed, and according to participation, player Zhao Yi obtained three talent points, while players Fang Bai, Bai Shuiji, and Liu Han each received one talent point.]
[The world task has been updated to "Unlocking the Resentment on the Train". Please check the system for further details.]
[Guild Chat]
"Has the meat shop been unlocked?"
"Oh my god, this guidance task that hasn't been completed in three years has finally been completed! Amazing!"
"This new guy really has some skills!"
"During the last dungeon run, Qinglang even told me that he wanted to bring this guy, Zhao Yi, into our guild!"
Unfortunately, the Great World Quest has already been marked by Zhao Yi, and now no one higher level than him can do this quest. Unless he dies.
Upstairs: Your idea is dangerous!
Not killing him means we have to wait for him to open the next big map, and only then will the Great World Quest be completely open for us to do.
Just wait... Although the higher-ups don't really care, I don't think they would just sit back if someone like Zhao Yi were to be killed. After all, his value to the guild is immeasurable!
...
Various chaotic discussions filled the chat room.
Everyone was envious of the rewards, but due to certain rules, they couldn't take on the recent quests.
So, some people had twisted thoughts.
They wanted Zhao Yi dead.
Unlike other guilds, the Chaos Guild didn't have clear rules against players killing each other, so they had many ways to kill each other.
The brutal competition made many newcomers in the guild want to switch guilds.
But switching guilds was troublesome.
It required a deadly assessment.
The terrifying death rate of that thing made many players who wanted to switch guilds hesitate.
After receiving the system announcement, Zhao Yi didn't leave right away to go back to the guild headquarters to heal. Instead, he asked the Butcher about his daughter.
"Do you have any information about your daughter?"
The Butcher stopped his work and thought for a few seconds before turning around and going into a resting room. He took out an old recorder and a damaged ID card from inside and handed them to Zhao Yi.
"I don't remember much about her life anymore."
That's what the Butcher said.
The recorder was stained with fresh crimson blood, not yet dried, and it would never dry up.
The love the Butcher had for his daughter during his lifetime turned into endless hatred and murderous intent after his death, attached to the recorder!
It could be imagined that something must have happened back then.
Zhao Yi took the ID card from the Butcher's hand and took a look at it.
The Butcher's daughter's name was Sun Baibai.
She was a very beautiful and slender girl.
He put these two things back into his storage space and said, "I'll do it as soon as possible."
"Also... I want to take a few people with me."
The Butcher said coldly, "You can take all of them away."
The guiding quest has been completed, and now it is a neutral unit with no obvious hostility towards players.
Moreover, Zhao Yi still had to help it find its daughter.
So the Butcher had no reason to refuse Zhao Yi.
When the people inside heard this, their faces immediately lit up, trembling with excitement!
The Butcher's meaning was obvious. He wouldn't kill them! Not only did they survive, but they also gained two talent points for free!
A big profit!
Baisuiji, who was weak and unable to walk without Fang Bai's support, could now walk on his own with a little more strength!
Zhao Yi glanced at the people inside and showed his signature smile.
"No... In fact, I didn't plan to take all of them with me."
"There are some things I can't do, but you can help me with them."
"After all, you've done this many times before."
The people understood all of a sudden, Zhao Yi wanted to use their help to kill someone!
The Butcher straightforwardly asked, "Who do you want to kill?"
Zhao Yi's gaze fell on Liu Han, and his face turned pale!
"No... Zhao Yi... You have no reason to kill me!"
"I haven't done anything to harm you... I'm just like them!"
Liu Han was sweating profusely, explaining in a panic.
Using the middle finger of his remaining left hand, Zhao Yi lightly flicked his hair and smiled back, "I don't mind having others eat meat with me."
"But there are two things I cannot tolerate..."
"The first is someone eating my food."
"The second is someone who relies on me for food... wanting to eat the flesh off my body!"
"I may not have an interest in killing, but that doesn't mean I won't kill."
"You should have understood this long ago... But it doesn't matter..."
"In the next life, be careful."
