Chris Brooks watched helplessly as he was bound in place by the Immortal-Binding Rope and took Energetic Little Mosquito's ultimate move head-on, losing 20% of his HP.

[Current]Little Sweet Chris: ?

[Current]Little Sweet Chris: Bro?

Hopeful Heart turned around, his longsword swaying lightly in his hand, looking extremely cold.

[Current]Hopeful Heart: Don’t be a liar in your next life.

After saying this, the man cast a spell on the spot for three seconds and left the wild map.

?

?!

Chris Brooks was stunned for a few seconds before belatedly feeling angry—

Damn?!

You, a scumbag, have the right to judge me?!!

Author’s note:

Red envelopes as usual, thank you all for the nutrient solution and thunder.

Chapter 5

Neither of them expected Hopeful Heart to make a move, so they were both momentarily stunned.

Chris Brooks mentally cursed out Hopeful Heart's entire family, gritting his teeth and silently swearing in eight different languages.

The Immortal-Binding Rope is an item dropped from high-level wild maps, able to immobilize the target for six seconds.

Six seconds—enough time for him to take a full combo from Little Mosquito.

But unexpectedly, after Energetic Little Mosquito threw out his ultimate, he also stopped moving.

[Current]Energetic Little Mosquito: ...Why are you Fox Immortal Cave? Did you switch factions?

The Heavenly Net that Chris Brooks just used is a skill exclusive to Fox Immortal Cave. Little Mosquito opened her profile to check, and sure enough, her faction clearly said “Fox Immortal Cave.”

Fox Immortal Cave is different from Putuo Mountain. Although both are healers, Fox Immortal Cave focuses more on sealing and support, with very little healing. The faction’s skills are complex and have a very small casting range, so players of this faction are at two extremes—either they’re super skilled and can dominate server-wide PK, or they’re so bad they can’t even seal quest monsters, total Five.

Energetic Little Mosquito hesitated for a moment, just about to keep typing.

Suddenly, the yellow rope on Little Sweet Chris disappeared, and the female character sprang up from the ground, launching a pink fireball skill straight at him!

Energetic Little Mosquito was startled and immediately jumped to dodge, only to realize after landing—he had landed right in the path of the fireball.

No, to be precise... Little Sweet Chris had predicted his movement in advance.

[Current]Energetic Little Mosquito: ???

[Current]Energetic Little Mosquito: Wait...

But Little Sweet Chris ignored him, summoning a pet with a flick of her hand. Fox Immortal Cave’s attack skills are only good for clearing mobs; real PK relies on summoned beasts.

She summoned... a little white fox with a plum blossom mark on its forehead and nine tails trailing behind.

Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, a tier-nine divine beast, even the cheapest one in the marketplace costs over ten thousand yuan.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox shook its tails and threw a few fireballs at Energetic Little Mosquito, instantly cutting his HP in half.

[Current]Energetic Little Mosquito: Wait!!

[Current]Energetic Little Mosquito: Wait... Sis! I was wrong, sis!

Little Sweet Chris said nothing, tossing another sealing skill at him. He couldn’t move at all, forced to stand there and take the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox’s damage.

In front of the computer, Chris Brooks was seriously studying the Fox Immortal Cave’s skills.

The Fox Immortal Cave faction is niche; he’d never played it before. There are about twenty skills in total, and just reading the skill descriptions was complicated enough.

[Current]Energetic Little Mosquito: Sis!! I just sold a summoned beast, I’ve got over two thousand gold on me... I’m begging you, let me go!!

[Current]Little Sweet Chris: Who’s your sis?

[Current]Energetic Little Mosquito: ...

Is this the same person who was just acting cute and begging for mercy??

[Current]Energetic Little Mosquito: Then little sister, little sister, don’t kill me, I’ll give you five hundred gold, okay?

[Current]Little Sweet Chris: Who needs your five hundred gold?

[Current]Energetic Little Mosquito: Yes, yes, I can tell you’re not short on money.

[Current]Little Sweet Chris: I want fifteen hundred.

[Current]Energetic Little Mosquito: ...

[Current]Energetic Little Mosquito: That’s too much, little sister!

[Current]Little Sweet Chris: Didn’t you just try to get two hundred gold from me? [cute]

[Current]Energetic Little Mosquito: I was just joking, how could I really ask you for money. [kneeling and begging]

[Current]Little Sweet Chris: Cut the crap, just say if you’re giving it or not.

Energetic Little Mosquito gritted his teeth.

This game has an annoying setting: if you initiate a forced PK against someone and get killed in return, not only do you lose more money and experience, but there’s also a small chance you’ll drop the equipment you’re wearing.

He opened his inventory, looking at his glowing gear, feeling a pang of heartache—who would dare gamble on that?!

[Energetic Little Mosquito gave you 1500 gold.]

With the money received, Chris Brooks moved his fingers and recalled the fox.

These people are always trying to kill others—if you don’t teach them a lesson, it won’t do.

After taking the money, he didn’t say another word, flew straight back to the main city, leaving Energetic Little Mosquito there alone.

But before he’d gone far, the friend icon in the lower right corner suddenly flashed.
