The Little Bird Inn was considered a relatively luxurious building in Little Bird Town.
At the main entrance of the inn, a bronze bird with spread wings soaring was hung, emitting a faint Radiance under the Light.
"Please come in~"
"Hello, how can I help you?"
The front desk attendant at the Little Bird Inn was a middle-aged woman, slightly overweight, with a sallow complexion, and a hint of faint sorrow between her brows.
Although the other party concealed it well, Zhou Heng still keenly noticed it.
In the Boundless and Endless World, players have always referred to the native inhabitants as NPCs, but this is merely because everyone is used to playing games, and coupled with the passage of ten thousand years, people are too lazy to change.
If you truly regard these native inhabitants as those NPCs in online games, you won't even know how you died.
"Big sister, I'd like to book a room. How much does it cost?"
Zhou Heng said with a smile, taking out 1000 copper coins from his backpack and pushing them towards the other party.
"Big sister, could you please tell me if there is a female Longevity Family Player staying here?"
The big sister instinctively wanted to refuse Zhou Heng, as it involved the Chang Sheng Family, but upon seeing the small mountain of copper coins pushed towards her, she hesitated for a moment, looked around to confirm there were no outsiders, and whispered.
"Young man, why are you asking this?"
"Big sister, you see I'm handsome, over 180 cm tall. I want to see if I can strike up a relationship with her, after all, you know how difficult it is for us ordinary players to develop."
Hearing this, the big sister felt that Zhou Heng made sense.
In the current Sakas Empire, class solidification is severe, and various resources are controlled by the fearsome players of the Sakas Empire and the Chang Sheng Family. It is indeed difficult for ordinary people and ordinary players to rise.
"Alright, big sister sees you're a decent person, so I'll tell you."
"Indeed, a girl from the Chang Sheng Family came, she's exceptionally beautiful. She's staying in room 606 on the top floor."
A sharp Light flashed deep in Zhou Heng's eyes, and he smiled, took out another 1000 copper coins, and pushed them over.
"Big sister, thank you for your trouble."
Saying this, Zhou Heng didn't book a room and walked directly towards 606.
...
The young girl sat upright on the pale blue inn bed, holding a scroll in her hand, her eyes emitting a faint blue Radiance.
This was a skill book of "Complex" quality, named "Myriad Thunderbolts". Once cast, it could summon myriad thunderbolts to perform a saturated lightning strike on an area of 3 meters around the target. At the same time, this skill also had a passive effect: when encountering sneak attacks or other assaults, the skill would be passively triggered, launching a lightning strike at the enemy and briefly delaying their attack.
It could be said that once this skill was learned, she would have a fundamental means of survival in the early stages, no longer needing to fear sneak attacks from others.
Under the family's conversion and modification, this skill no longer required fulfilling the "Complex" learning requirements; it only needed time to be mastered.
Myriad Thunderbolts could be learned by simply holding and studying it for 6 hours.
However, just as she was concentrating on studying "Myriad Thunderbolts", suddenly, the "Alert" skill activated, and her study state was abruptly interrupted.
Her eyes shot out fierce, sharp Light as she stood up and looked around.
Just then, a muffled sound came from the doorway, followed by the door panel cracking, and Zhou Heng strode in.
"It's you!"
The girl's pupils uncharacteristically widened. She had considered many possibilities, but never this outcome.
She, a dignified Longevity Family Player, was actually sought out by an ordinary player, and judging by the other party's aggressive demeanor, it was likely to kill her.
But why did the other party find her after such a short interval, and locate her so precisely?
Traitor?
The girl's thoughts raced, considering many things.
But she knew that now was not the time to think about these things; she had to escape.
She wasn't stupid. The fact that the other party could find her in such a short time and specifically when she was learning Myriad Thunderbolts meant they must have some confidence in killing her; she wouldn't believe otherwise.
The other party must have learned the "Super Long-Distance Shooter" class scroll she dropped and completed the class change.
Facing Zhou Heng, who possessed "Burning Rage", she already had little chance of winning, let alone against someone who had also changed to the powerful "Super Long-Distance Shooter" class.
Without hesitation, the girl turned around and leaped out of the window by the bed.
With a crash, the glass shattered, and the girl tumbled, landing on the street outside the Little Bird Inn.
Surrounding players: ???
What's happening!
Why would someone suddenly jump from upstairs?
As the players watched in astonishment, they took a closer look and turned pale with fright.
The person who jumped downstairs was actually a Longevity Family Player?
What on earth is going on? Why would a Longevity Family Player jump from upstairs, and even break a window to do it?
Zhou Heng's expression was grim. The more decisive the other party was, the stronger his resolve to kill her became.
Someone like this, once they grew, would definitely be a major threat to his development.
Furthermore, if he couldn't even deal with this seemingly ordinary Longevity Family Player, what was the point of talking about confronting the Chang Sheng Family? He might as well find a wall and bash his head in.
Following the girl's jump from the high building, Zhou Heng drew his bow, aimed at the girl, and shot an arrow.
Super Long-Distance Tracking, activated!
Whoosh!
With a sound of slicing through the air, the arrow streaked across the sky and shot towards the girl.
The girl let out a muffled groan, took out an item that looked like blood from her backpack, and swallowed it whole.
The next second, her speed soared, and she rushed into the distance like lightning.
Zhou Heng's expression tightened, and he activated "Burning Rage" without hesitation, chasing closely.
A second later, a new arrow condensed, and Zhou Heng drew his bow again, shooting another arrow.
Seeing this, the girl cursed softly, "Damn it," and fled with all her might through Little Bird Town.
The two, one in front and one behind, rapidly chased and fled through Little Bird Town.
"My god, am I... seeing things? An ordinary player chasing and killing a Longevity Family Player?"
"This... it can't be real, right?"
"I must be crazy, definitely crazy! This kind of action, I've never heard of or seen before!"
...
The passersby who reacted were all utterly shocked.
Regarding killing Longevity Family Players, they had heard of ambushes, assassinations, but they had never heard of chasing them down on the street in a town.
This was no longer just looking down on a certain player from the Chang Sheng Family; this was completely disregarding the notorious reputation of the Chang Sheng Family.
Whoosh~
Zhou Heng shot another arrow. In just 7 seconds, there were already as many as seven arrows tracking the girl in the air.
Seeing the arrows getting closer and closer, a hint of anger appeared on the girl's indifferent face.
She had never thought that she would have such a difficult day after logging into the Boundless and Endless World.
She had clearly already obtained the family's resources, and in just five more hours, she could have easily dealt with the other party.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
The girl couldn't escape in time and was caught by Zhou Heng's arrows. Three arrows pierced her head, skull, and chest respectively, dealing 100, 80, and 60 damage, successfully instantly killing the other party.
"You're very good!!"
"I'll remember you!"
"Don't let me find out who is behind you, otherwise... I will make him wish he were dead!"
The girl turned ethereal, staring fixedly at Zhou Heng who was striding towards her, and said sternly.
In her opinion, it was impossible for an ordinary player like Zhou Heng to know her movements.
So, there was only one truth: someone had betrayed the Chang Sheng Family, or it was sent by those Chang Sheng players who were at odds with her.
This matter could not just be let go.
Zhou Heng did not answer the girl, squatted down, and pulled out the skill "Myriad Thunderbolts" from under the girl's body.
Seeing this, the girl's expression couldn't help but change. "Myriad Thunderbolts" was dropped...
