《World of Experts 》Chapter 16: Unlucky People
Advertisement
At this time, a gentle breeze blew in the distance and Shi Hao said: “Okay! Let’s do it.”
Having heard what was said, Feng Tianhao who was playing dead suddenly attacked with great force, and his sword stabbed unguarded Li Yidao. Naturally, Feng Tianhao had not died. Feng Tianhao had just 1 HP left. But Li Yidao really died. He didn’t even have 1 HP left.
“How is this possible!” Li Yidao didn’t panic before his death, and he had a look of curiosity as he said: “I want to know the reason, why didn’t you die? My calculation had never been wrong!”
As a professional assassin in games, death was not terrifying for Li Yidao. The terrifying thing was not knowing the person who killed him and also how he died.
But how could they easily talk about Shi Hao’s secret? Especially since Shi Hao knew that Li Yidao was definitely the assassin invited by Heroic Overlord Under Heaven. Other than Heroic Overlord Under Heaven, which fool would do his utmost to get rid of Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao like this? Shi Hao rolled his eyes and said: “You are already dead but why are you asking me a question? Moreover, what benefit do I have if I answer you?”
Li Yidao had been playing games for many years. He naturally knew these rules. Li Yidao replied: “Tell me the answer! Hereafter, I will never accept the task to assassinate you two. You two have defeated me this time, but this doesn’t mean that you two can still win next time! You two should be clear about my strength.”
Shi Hao was a bit complacent. He knew that the proud super experts like Li Yidao would never go back on their words. Li Yidao would definitely keep his words. But Shi Hao also wouldn’t foolishly expose his SS grade skill, Soul of the Warrior.
Shi Hao said: “Deal! My secret is this sword! This is a level 7 Water Cloud Sword…”
Shi Hao quickly explained the effect of Water Cloud Sword. Naturally, Shi Hao intentionally emphasized that it was a level 7 Water Cloud Sword in order to exaggerate Water Cloud Sword’s effect. In fact, Water Cloud Sword in Shi Hao’s hand was just a level 1 sword. But how could a level 1 Water Cloud Sword be able to resuscitate dying Feng Tianhao? As a matter of fact, Water Cloud Sword just saved Feng Tianhao’s last HP. The most decisive thing was still the defense bluff of Soul of the Warrior!
But Shi Hao had to say so. Only the mixture of truth and lie could make very experienced Li Yidao unable to distinguish the fact.
“Okay! I got it. Since you were able to obtain Water Cloud Sword, it means that fate is truly on your side. This time, I lost.” Li Yidao temporarily left the game.
He then sent two messages to Wu Batian’s subordinate in succession. The first read: “Twin Dragons Village, West Flower’s new village. Go forward along the mountain path and you will see it. It has 25 soldiers including a historical NPC. Blowing Wind Left A Scar’s talent is outstanding, and Shake the Heaven possess Water Cloud Sword…”
The second read: “This assassin task has failed. But I will not return the deposit money. The previous information is compensation for the failure of the task.”

After he sent the messages, he quietly laid on the bed. The room looked empty. In these last few years, he had been living like this. Li Yidao had neither a father nor a mother since childhood. An old beggar had adopted him, and he always lacked money. In order to survive, he had done many labors. Even like that, he was a warm-hearted and helpful person. But the cruelty of reality made him, who was at the bottom of society, feel helpless. Especially when his foster father died of illness, the feeling of powerlessness due to the lack of money etched into his memory. He would never forget it all his life. Slowly, he also became indifferent. But the indifferent Li Yidao succeeded. He accidentally came into contact with a game. His talent in this area was extremely high. Along the way, he advanced triumphantly to where he was today.
Li Yidao was a little tired and fell asleep. But the game of > still continued.
In the game, the sky was still dark. Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao had also fallen asleep. Sleeping in the game could restore the character’s HP and MP, and it could also recuperate the real body in an even better fashion. However, Wu Batian didn’t sleep this game-night. Wu Batian’s lackeys also didn’t sleep.
“Boss, I have received the news from A Blade Hundred Thousand!” Wu Batian’s lackey excitedly entered the game and said: “Those two guys built Twin Dragons Village. Its rough location is clear. Even Twin Dragons Village’s military strength and the strength level of Shake the Heaven and Blowing Winf Left A Scar are also clear!”
Wu Batian who was sitting on a rocking chair of a teahouse of West Flower’s Novice Village looked over and said: “Very good! My judgment of A Blade Hundred Thousand was not wrong. Since A Blade Hundred Thousand is so clear about the Twin Dragons Village’s situation, I estimate that the task is also almost taken care of. Let’s go, we should go and take over Twin Dragons Village.”
The thoughts of Wu Batain seemed very thorough. According to his calculations, Li Yidao had resolved Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao, so, Twin Dragons Village was a host of dragons without a head now. It should be very chaotic. At this time, Wu Batian could ‘step up’, take advantage of the chaos and stealthily destroy or burn Twin Dragons Village’s Council Hall. Like that, Twin Dragons Village would change back to the original Village Building Order, but the existing special attributes attached to the order would have no change. In this way, Wu Batian could establish his own village. Moreover, this matter shouldn’t be delayed! It could be estimated that the other players would be able to kill the Novice Villages’ Bosses soon. At that time, all kinds of villages would appear. In order to have better initial advantages, Wu Batian set out on his journey of Tyrant King. Merely, Wu Batian’s journey of Tyrant King was destined to be a failure this time. Who asked the subordinate of Wu Batian to not notice the second message in time? This couldn’t be blamed on other people. At least Shi Hao couldn’t be blamed.
Early morning, when the sky started to brighten, Twin Dragons Village’s people began working as usual.

Wang Fu came to report quite early: “Reporting to Village Chiefs! When Lord Li Yi took people to patrol the mountain early in the morning, they caught 4 people who were acting strangely.”
Wang Fu then turned around and instructed: “Bring in those 4 people!”
Shi Hao didn’t care too much about it. In the mountain forest, it was not surprising if someone was misjudged as a thief and get caught. But caught Wu Batian cared about it very much. He originally came to snatch the village. But unexpectedly, he was immediately caught by Twin Dragons Village’s patrol team. This truly confused him. What exactly did A Blade Hundred Thousand do here? There was obviously nothing wrong with the village. But Wu Batian also had no time to think about other matters. If Shi Hao recognized him this time, then he wouldn’t necessarily be able to leave the village alive.
However, he was also lucky. This time, he intended to stealthily destroy the Twin Dragons Hall’s Council Hall. This was a significant secret operation. For this purpose, Wu Batian had long changed into a set of cloth that could cover his face, moreover, he had especially turned off the character name display option, which he liked to show off. His three lackeys were also the same. It was very normal for ordinary villager-grade NPCs to not display their names. Generally speaking, as long as Shi Hao didn’t intentionally open their clothes, Wu Batian was sure that he wouldn’t be exposed.
Shi Hao asked while eating breakfast: “Who are you? You all look somewhat familiar. Why did you all come to Twin Dragons Village?”
Wu Batian lowered his head, knelt on the ground and intentionally showed a fearful appearance as he changed his voice and replied cautiously: “This little one is a resident of a nearby village. I heard that there is Twin Dragons Village here, and the two Village Chiefs of Twin Dragons Village are very friendly to the villagers. Therefore, this little one especially came here to seek refuge with my three close friends.”
Shi Hao continued to eat breakfast, so did Feng Tianhao. They had no intention to look at their faces. Shi Hao took a sip of rice gruel and said: “Very good! Then, you all can just stay in the village. By the way, where is the other village? Take me to see it.”
Shi Hao thought. Now, the only player village was Twin Dragons Village. So, the other village must be a village established by NPC. Moreover, there was a high probability that it was the village of Divine and Mighty Alliance. Right now, Divine and Mighty Alliance was a monster that they couldn’t afford to provoke. Whoever made things difficult for Divine and Mighty Alliance, he, himself would be in a difficult situation. On the contrary, if one could be on good terms with Divine and Mighty Alliance so early, then one would be able to grasp many benefits. At least, as long as the relationship was good, Divine and Mighty Alliance could leak out the information of many dungeon missions in advance. When all had the same condition, if you were able to make preparations one step earlier, then you would have a higher chance of success, wasn’t that so? And this time, it seemed that there was a village of Divine and Mighty Alliance nearby, how could Shi Hao not go over and greet the good neighbor? Moreover, Shi Hao planned to directly purchase a lot of goods and materials from the neighboring village.
“This…” Wu Batian’s gaze swayed and cold sweat flowed down his spine. Wu Batian panicked! Sh*t, what village. If he had to speak about the village, then he had come from West Flower’s Novice Village. But it was impossible for him to lead Shi Hao to the Novice Village. If he were to do that, he guessed that Shi Hao would notice it on the way.
“My memory is relatively poor. I forgot the way back…” Wu Batian’s eyes shifted and said cleverly: “I think, there must be someone among them who knows the path.”
At this moment, Wu Batian thought of a good idea. As long as Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao left the village, he could run away. As for his three lackeys, if they died, then died. In any case, they were the ones who found the useless A Blade Hundred Thousand. Not only he failed the task, but he also caused them to fall into Shi Hao’s hands.
“Boss…, we don’t know the way either.” Wu Batian’s three lackeys also lowered their heads. It was obvious that they didn’t tacitly understand Wu Batian’s thoughts. Otherwise, how could they dare to say such words?
“Could it be that you all also forgot? Whichever way we came, return that way. Remember, you all just need to go in the opposite direction! My memory is not good, so you all should personally lead Lord Village Chiefs the way. If you all lead the way, then you all will naturally be rewarded heavily.” Wu Batian was dying to kick these three subordinates to death. They didn’t seem to understand him at all. Sacrifice one to save three! Someone just needed to lead Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao in the opposite direction of Novice Village.
“Well, who will lead the way?” Shi Hao asked. At this moment, Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao had already finished eating breakfast. They were impatient to bring the village troops out to see the world. Most importantly, Shi Hao wanted to purchase a lot of goods and materials from the other villages.
“I… I will…” One of Wu Batian’s lackeys courageously stood out. This person knew that he wouldn’t be punished by Wu Batian if he stood up. Wu Batian had just said that there would be heavy rewards. This implied that Wu Batian would exempt the one who stood up from the punishment. As for the other two, they would be definitely interrogated by Wu Batian for finding that useless A Blade Hundred Thousand after returning.
Shi Hao, Feng Tianhao and Li Yi followed Wu Batian’s lackey and left the village along with several subordinates. They had also left enough troops to guard the village.
Upon seeing this, Wu Batian wisely seized this chance to quickly ran back to the Novice Village along with his two lackeys.
