Viper was quite torn in his mind at the moment. In the last mission, he stood out alone among the five Underworld Walkers and successfully completed the commission, while the other four had folded in front of the last door. Whenever he thought of that cleverly designed trap, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased with himself, and a smug smile would always hang at the corner of his mouth.
This commission was indeed quite challenging, but Viper was still attracted by the tantalizingly high reward. The reward was so generous, and the Yang family, with whom he had had several pleasant collaborations, had an outstanding reputation, and more importantly, this task seemed to be exactly what he was good at.
The Yang Family was inquiring about a person with such a high bid, and at first, Viper guessed that this person might be a pivotal figure, or perhaps a high-level Master Scholar that the Yang Family wanted to draw in. All sorts of possibilities flashed through his mind, yet the result was greatly unexpected.
In the information box, he unexpectedly couldn't find any trace of this person named MX. If he hadn't copied some of the other people's information in passing, I'm afraid that the Yang Clan's people would have suspected that he hadn't entered the information vault at all.
Faced with this result, Viper inevitably felt some apprehension in his heart. He couldn't help but begin to wonder if this MX was also an Underworld Walker. Ever since he couldn't find any information on MX, this thought lingered in his mind.
Underworld Walkers were no different from normal people in reality, but once they entered the virtual network, they were like fish out of water and could do almost anything they wanted. However, in this seemingly omnipotent world, they were also bound by many unspoken rules. For an Underworld Walker like Viper, who advocated freedom and was not attached to any power, these bonds were especially heavy.
He knew that it was difficult to simply classify the strength of Underworld practitioners, and it was even impossible to talk about comparisons between different domains. Sometimes, a fledgling newcomer could deal a fatal blow to a senior Underworld Walker with an original idea. This kind of thing, creativity, was just too subtle.
Battles between Underworld Walkers were an area that Viper was unwilling to venture into easily. Nowadays, entering the virtual net all required brain nerve stimulation through electromagnetic waves to synchronize the brain waves with the fluctuations of the virtual net. Although the linking device was extremely secure, it was not flawless. He had once witnessed a battle between two powerful Underworld Domain Walkers that ended with one of them suffering from complete necrosis of the brain nerves. That scene had made him deeply realize how powerful and cruel Underworld Walkers were in the virtual network.
It was fortunate that the Underworld Walkers who were able to break through the final line of defense were, after all, a rare species, and most of them valued their identities, acted with scruples, and had constraints on each other. It is these factors together to maintain the order of the virtual world. Viper always reminded himself not to easily provoke any of the Underworld Walkers, even if the other party seemed weak. After all, someone who could move freely in the training base and use the various facilities could never be an idle person. If the other party was truly an Underworld Realm Walker, then one's behavior was undoubtedly dancing on the tip of a knife.
However things didn't seem to end there. The Yang family had once again approached him, entrusting him with the task of finding MX's true information - whether it was his address, name, or any other information. The reward for this commission was also ridiculously high, completely in line with the Yang family's usual generous style. Given Viper's outstanding performance in the past, the Yang family had high hopes for him and hoped that he would come to their aid again.
Viper was now faced with a difficult decision. The Yang family, as his important client, had once again offered a tantalizing commission. Not only was this task highly compatible with his professional skills, but the reward was lucrative enough to make his heart skip a beat.
However, Viper was in deep hesitation. He was worried that the target this time might be a powerful Underworld Walker. He knew his niche well and was good at tracking and laying traps, but head-on combat was not his strong suit. If the opponent was truly an Underworld Walker, the possibility of retaliation would be too much for him to feel at ease.
The greatest fear of Underworld Walkers was having their true identity revealed. In the real world, they were no different from ordinary people and lacked the ability to protect themselves. Once their identities were exposed, their freedom and lives would be at serious risk. Therefore, revealing the identity of an Underworld Walker was considered the biggest taboo in this business.
Viper was not overwhelmed by the high reward. He understood that accepting this commission meant that he might be involved in a life-and-death battle with a Super Underworld Walker, and might even trigger a siege from other Underworld Walkers. Such a risk forced him to consider it carefully.
Nonetheless, the astronomical reward on the commission was still like a strong temptation, constantly tugging at his heartstrings. As long as he completed this single task, he would be able to ensure that he would be able to feed and clothe himself for the next ten years. And he was 80% sure that he would be able to complete the mission without being noticed, after all, his "bone maggots" had never let him down.
The commission gave Viper a headache. He rubbed his temples in agony, his heart full of knots. If he refused, he couldn't afford to pay the astronomical price; if he accepted, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to spend the money.
Viper had a bright idea and decided to personally observe the target named MX first. He arrived at the Master Sense Training Base based on the information provided by the Yang family and blended in as a tourist. Soon, he found MX in the crowd.
MX didn't look inconspicuous, but Viper was keenly aware of the Underworld Walker's aura emanating from the few people around him. With a twitch in his heart, he realized that this group of people had most likely received the same commission to test MX's strength.
They must want to tamper here?
Viper intended to wait and see, and just in time, let them test out what this MX was really like!
Viper concentrated his mind, and without a sound, the "Surge" quietly rippled out, and every detail of everything around him was reflected in his mind with unparalleled clarity.
Good! It is really a master, the timing of the action is excellent, the action is also extremely hidden! Viper couldn't help but mentally marvel! These several Underworld Walkers were indeed experts, and their coordination with each other was seamless and heavenly, breathtaking!
However, the next scene almost made the blood in Viper's entire body stop flowing in an instant, and that moment also became a nightmare that he would never be able to get rid of in his future life!
