Chapter 328

In the following days, Li Ang explored his "自带bgm" (zì dài bgm, comes with background music) skill, finding many powerful musical combinations.

To complement the skill, he also bought different sizes of outdoor speakers online, ranging from small to large.

The product descriptions were increasingly exaggerated, boasting things like 600W super power, heart-pounding speakers, square dance killer with super bass, and twelve-color light crowd-pleaser.

Considering that he might have to carry the speakers into battle later, Li Ang specially modified the shells of these speakers to prevent people from recognizing the speaker brands and discovering his identity by following the clues.

After buying the speakers, Li Ang also hired the information broker Mule for 10 game coins to help him look for skill scrolls related to "alchemy."

If Mule could directly contact the Mai family who intended to sell it, Li Ang could add 30 more game coins as a commission.

However, there were as many types of skills in the Killing Game as there were stars in the sky. Even if a player did find an alchemy skill scroll, they might not be willing to sell it.

This was a shot in the dark. It would be great if he could find it, but it wouldn't be a big loss if he couldn't.

In addition, Li Ang restarted the forging furnace and used ordinary quality weapon steel and a white bone spine to forge a new rare quality attack-type equipment to make up for his weakness in single attack methods.

After the mission, the Twilight Knight took the initiative to add Li Ang as a friend and briefly expressed his admiration and gratitude in the communication link in a very formulaic manner.

Wanli Fengdao also contacted Li Ang. Both parties tacitly avoided mentioning the biological prototype and mainly discussed the three enemy players encountered in this mission.

According to Wanli Fengdao, he had reported some information about the three people—Black Saint, Zhuang Pengpai, and Shi Jiang—to the Special Affairs Bureau.

He asked the Special Affairs Bureau's intelligence department to collect relevant information and be wary of their retaliation.

If their traces were found in the real world, Wanli Fengdao also guaranteed that he would relay the news to Li Ang in time so that he could prepare in advance.

After everything settled down, Li Ang returned to his usual daily life of going to school and browsing luntan (forums) at home.

One Saturday morning, Li Ang, who was lying on the sofa drinking ice-cold cola and playing a game console, received a WeChat message from Wang Congshan.

"What's my little handsome doing?"

Yo, she's calling me handsome right off the bat. This is definitely up to no good.

Li Ang typed, "I'm bored at home during the holidays. Why not do some part-time work? Copy and paste this sentence to make a duplicate post. You can earn 0 yuan per day. All my friends are doing it."

"Hehe."

Wang Congshan sent an emoji of rubbing a dog's head hard. "Are you busy? I need your help with something."

Li Ang sent a picture of a country dog picking its nose. "What is it?"

Wang Congshan immediately explained the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that she had an older cousin who graduated from a famous university and had been working hard in Yin City for many years. Now she was a well-known independent painter.

But because she was beautiful, earned a lot of money, came from a good family, and had an elegant demeanor, she had high standards.

This made many high-quality men shy away, and she inadvertently became an older single woman.

Her parents were relatively traditional and kept urging her to get married. At the same time, they also vaguely suspected that she had a tendency to be a lesbian.

Under the pressure of her parents, this older single woman was in great pain. Coincidentally, she had recently encountered some annoying things, so she simply fabricated a lie that she had found a boyfriend to prevaricate her parents.

Unexpectedly, her mother booked a plane ticket that night and planned to go to Yin City the next day to investigate her prospective son-in-law.

When this cousin was in Yin City University, she often went to Wang Fengnian and Jiang Xinwan's house to freeload meals and drinks. She was very close to the Wang family and grew up with Wang Congshan.

Seeing that the lie was about to be exposed, Wang Congshan volunteered and recommended to her cousin an elite talent who claimed to have perfect acting skills, was good at bluffing, and was all-powerful.

He would be one hundred percent able to help her get through the current disaster.

This elite talent was naturally Li Ang.

After listening to the ins and outs of the matter, as Wang Congshan's childhood sweetheart and long-time friend, her cousin's trouble was his trouble.

He immediately typed righteously and generously, "How much?"

"2000, meals included, and I'll customize a suit for you."

Wang Congshan typed, "Will you take it?"

If it were before, Li Ang would probably have started preparing to go out now.

But now that he was a player, he could sell one or two thousand for a little game coin. A mere two thousand was really not worth his attention.

After thinking for a while, Li Ang still agreed to take on the job.

It was both to maintain his image as a poor guy in Wang Congshan's eyes, and to find an opportunity to go out and maybe trigger some missions.

"Awesome, bro." Wang Congshan gave a thumbs up and sent Li Ang a photo and WeChat ID of her cousin so that the two of them could talk in detail.

Li Ang took a sip of ice-cold cola and nonchalantly clicked on the large image.

The next second, he suddenly jumped up from the sofa, expressionless, squinting his eyes, and exuding a terrifyingly pure killing intent.

The woman in the photo was a temperamentally attractive young woman wearing a white dress and sunglasses with a beauty level far above average.

Li Ang had seen this woman before, in Dusheng Village.

Wei Linglan...

This woman was a level 4 player at the time. Li Ang had tricked her at the end of the Dusheng Village incident, and she had probably succumbed to pressure and fully defected to the Special Affairs Bureau.

She turned out to be Wang Congshan's relative... Or was it that the Special Affairs Bureau had noticed something and fabricated a fake identity to get close to him?

Li Ang sat on the sofa in silence. Chai Cuiqiao, who was lying on the ceiling, felt a faint palpitation.

It was the first time she had seen Li Ang in this state of alert, devoid of good and evil, with only killing intent.

"The probability of the Special Affairs Bureau discovering me is quite small. Even if they did notice something, they wouldn't use Wang Congshan as a bridge to approach me—this would not only be inefficient, but it would also likely provoke my strong reaction."

Li Ang thought silently, "So, is this just a pure coincidence... that a player I've encountered before would be a close relative of my childhood sweetheart?"

In this world, there was only one living person Li Ang could absolutely trust—Wang Congshan—plus half of the orphanage director.

Out of this trust, Li Ang was the only two people he hadn't conducted a background check on or assigned an assassination strategy to.

Except for them,

Li Ang could eliminate all threatening enemies if necessary and take all aggressive measures

to maintain his own life safety and protect his peaceful daily life.

"So we're meeting so soon."

Li Ang stared at Wei Linglan's photo on his phone screen with an expressionless face and said silently, "I hope you'll have better luck this time."
