Chapter 166 The Falcon

Following the coordinates provided, Zhang Pingfan arrived at a swamp.

Indeed, there were no other players present.

Zhang Pingfan's appearance caused surprise among the passing players.

"What's going on? The village chief is here?"

"I don't know. Isn't that the pervert's leveling area up ahead? Isn't that the direction the village chief is heading?"

"Could it be that the village chief wants to recruit him?"

"I heard no one can get close to him, and everyone who did was killed by him. Isn't the village chief in danger?"

"Are you out of your mind? Who is the village chief? How dare a mere assassin like him kill the village chief?"

"Should we go take a look?"

"Look at what? What if the village chief isn't going to him, and we get killed by that pervert and lose experience? Do you think it's worth it?"

"Uh, then let's forget it!"

As he walked, Zhang Pingfan truly felt the fear the surrounding players had for Falcon.

He hadn't expected this guy to be so violent, not even allowing others in his leveling area.

However, Zhang Pingfan's appearance did shock Falcon.

The area was quite empty, and since there was only one player, finding him was easy.

The moment Falcon saw Zhang Pingfan, he was ready for a fight.

He instantly entered stealth mode. Unfortunately, Zhang Pingfan was an NPC with an omniscient perspective.

Your stealth skill is useless against Zhang Pingfan.

Zhang Pingfan stared directly at Falcon, who had entered stealth mode.

Falcon was also shocked at this moment. Why could Zhang Pingfan keep staring at his location even after he went into stealth?

"Come out, I can see you."

Falcon did not appear. Instead, he launched a fierce attack on Zhang Pingfan.

Zhang Pingfan's lips curled upwards. No one had ever dared to attack him before; he was the first.

His great sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed it directly at Falcon.

Falcon originally thought he could dodge this attack, but he found himself completely unable to evade it.

Zhang Pingfan changed his move from a slash to a pat, sending Falcon, who was in stealth, flying.

"I told you to come out, why didn't you listen? Do you really need me to beat you up?"

Falcon was inwardly amazed. He could ignore everyone else's lock-on, but he couldn't dodge the village chief's attack.

"As an NPC, isn't it unethical for you to attack players?"

Falcon realized he couldn't defeat the village chief in front of him. No wonder this guy was called the ceiling of the current Mythology game.

"Oh, I thought you couldn't speak. If you didn't speak up, I wouldn't mind killing you!"

"Village chief, what do you mean?"

"The literal meaning!"

"Hmph, if the village chief is so domineering, won't it incite resistance from many players!"

"No matter how domineering I am, I'm not as domineering as you. You killed the people from the major guilds who came to negotiate with you. You also killed people from my disciple's guild. As a master, I've come to chat with you. If Dou Youyou had come, you might have been burned to ashes!"

"Hmph, Dou Youyou, who has no combat skills, is useless in front of me no matter how high her combat power is. She can only be my target practice!"

Zhang Pingfan smiled. Do you really think so? Dou Youyou possesses a Heavenly-grade skill, an area-of-effect skill with screen-wide damage.

You can't escape even if you hide in the sky.

"Alright, I know you're powerful, but first, I need to confirm something. Your sudden appearance makes me extremely suspicious!"

"System, scan him!"

[Ding! Scanning in progress...]

[Ding! Scan complete. Target abnormal... Target normal... Target abnormal...]

Zhang Pingfan frowned. The system glitched? Impossible.

"What's going on?"

[Ding! Hard to say. This situation is highly likely that he has been parasitized but retained his original intentions. This is the first time I've encountered this situation!]

As expected, the sudden appearance of this person was indeed problematic.

But the person in front of him was clearly human, yet according to the scan, he was no longer entirely human and contained something else.

"What will happen if I kill him?"

[Ding! He will revive. I will try to expel it!]

[Ding! Strange, unable to expel. It seems he has completely merged with this human!]

Zhang Pingfan's expression became even more grave.

He had already merged with the person in front of him. What if he had chosen Dou Youyou at that time?

"What now? You look very dangerous. Do you want to pause the game and clear him out completely?"

[Ding! It's too late. They were bound to come, but I didn't expect them to arrive sooner than I anticipated!]

"They? Who are they?"

[Ding! Extraterrestrial beings, a very powerful race. They are plundering resources across the universe, and Blue Star is their next target. My appearance is to guide you to fight them. Now it seems we need to accelerate the process!]

No wonder such a game appeared, no wonder he obtained the system. It wasn't destiny, but survival.

"What do we do now? Kill him?"

[Ding! You try!]

Zhang Pingfan held his great sword. This time, he had no hesitation. This player named Falcon, more accurately, no longer belonged to Earth.

"Swish!"

With another slash, the Falcon in front of him was cut in half before he could even resist.

"He's dead?"

[Ding! Detecting his data..., reviving, possessing all player attributes, cannot be completely killed!]

"Then can't you erase his game helmet data? Like banning his account?"

[Ding! Tried that, but it's impossible. This means he has broken free from my control. Letting him develop in the game could cause great trouble later. From now on, it's up to you!]

"Me? Chase him down in the game every day?"

[Ding! Yes, you can let your disciple Dou Youyou's Eternal Mythology guild, and other guilds' players hunt him down!]

"But that won't work! He can dodge any player's attack. It's impossible to chase him, but there's a high possibility of being counter-killed by him!"

[Ding! Then I don't know. This problem is yours to solve!]

[Ding! System prompt: New mission released: Kill Falcon!]

"Damn it, are you here to help or to slack off? Isn't your indifferent attitude as a killer unethical?"

[Ding! If I hadn't come, your Earth would be a wasteland by now. The defenses outside can still hold them off for a while. When their main force arrives, that's when it gets truly terrifying!]

"Uh, alright!"
