Chapter 50 Surrounded Twice in One Day at the Resurrection Altar
Alan stared at Lysandra, gritting his teeth. "No, you still have a conscience. If you had truly become a demon, you wouldn't be talking to me; you'd have killed me outright."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Lysandra's eyes.
"The only reason I didn't kill you immediately is that I haven't spoken to anyone in a long time."
With that, Lysandra struck Alan's chest with her palm.
Alan's health bar instantly emptied.
Then, he automatically respawned in Stellaria Lindataria.
After death, there was a resurrection time.
Alan was now waiting, waiting to be resurrected.
[Citywide announcement: A heinous criminal has entered Lindataria. The Lord of Lindataria has issued an urgent mission: Hunt down the criminal.]
[Citywide announcement: A heinous criminal has entered Lindataria. The Lord of Lindataria has issued an urgent mission: Hunt down the criminal.]
All players in Lindataria received a new mission at this moment.
[Mission: Hunt down the criminal.]
[Requirement: Kill the criminal who entered Lindataria (an adventurer with an Infamy Value greater than ten thousand) one hundred times.
[Current progress: 0/100.]
[Penalty: None.]
[Reward: Each kill will grant a piece of bronze equipment and ten free attribute points.]
'Holy crap!'
When the players in Lindataria received this mission, they all showed expressions of disbelief.
"Holy crap, what did I just see? A welfare mission?"
"Come on! Find out who the player with an Infamy Value over ten thousand is! Come out and let me kill him a hundred times!"
"Ten free attribute points per kill, a thousand free attribute points for a hundred kills, plus a hundred pieces of bronze equipment. If I kill him a hundred times by myself, I'll be rich."
"Calm down. We don't even know what this person did to get an Infamy Value over ten thousand."
Lindataria was abuzz with discussion.
Alan, however, was very frustrated.
He had actually been put on a bounty like this.
Watching the resurrection countdown, Alan was already thinking about how to escape.
Fight his way out?
There probably wasn't a better option.
After all, Infamy Value couldn't be hidden; it hovered above his head in large, bright red numbers.
In this situation, trying to sneak out was unrealistic.
So, the only option was to fight his way out.
Equipping the Ninefold Longbow and the Bloodthirsty Necklace, and preparing speed and shield potions, Alan was ready to make a run for it.
Here, he couldn't help but thank the kind people from the newbie village who dropped a lot of items upon death.
But just as Alan was about to resurrect, another national announcement came.
[National announcement: A heinous criminal has entered Stellaria. The King of Stellaria has issued an urgent mission: Hunt down the criminal.]
[National announcement: A heinous criminal has entered Stellaria. The King of Stellaria has issued an urgent mission: Hunt down the criminal.]
Alan was dumbfounded.
What had he done to deserve this?
He was being targeted by the game system.
Now, not only were the players in Lindataria excited, but players across Stellaria were also thrilled.
In other words, all players in the Jinse Empire region were excited.
Because all Jinse Empire players, before their second job change, could only be in Stellaria.
"The King of Stellaria's reward is so generous; it's double the reward from Lindataria. I love it."
"Infamy Value adventurer, come out and accept your fate. You can't hide. Becoming our equipment and free attribute points is your honor."
"Before, groups of people would hunt wild bosses. Now, we're hunting Infamy Value players. But I really want to know how this Infamy Value player got his Infamy Value so high."
All the players in the Jinse Empire region were ecstatic.
At this moment, Alan finally resurrected.
Level one!
Oh, no!
He was now level one.
With such a high Infamy Value, dying once wiped out all his levels and experience points.
The moment Alan emerged from the resurrection altar in Lindataria, he sprinted at full speed towards the city gates.
But the one million Infamy Value above his head was so conspicuous.
"There he is!"
"Is that the Infamy Value player?"
"His Infamy Value is one million!"
"Kill him!"
Infamy Value players were not protected in Central City, so these players could attack him there.
Alan couldn't afford to think about anything else now.
He couldn't fight back either.
If he did, it wouldn't just be players chasing him; the city guards of Lindataria would come after him too.
Killing players in Central City would get him arrested and imprisoned by the city guards, with the sentence depending on his Infamy Value. The higher the Infamy Value, the longer the sentence.
With his Infamy Value, if he got caught, he might as well quit the game.
As for fighting the city guards head-on, that was impossible. With his lack of resistance, he wouldn't last a second against them.
Therefore, before leaving Lindataria, Alan could only run.
Now at level one, his options for equipping weapons were very limited.
Among the few he could use were the Purification Necklace, the Ninefold Longbow, and the Bloodthirsty Necklace, none of which had level requirements.
But neither of these pieces of equipment added resistance.
These pieces of equipment had one thing in common—they didn't add resistance.
So the attacks from these players were almost like true damage to Alan.
[-512.]
[-198.]
[-299.]
A series of damage numbers floated above Alan's head.
Behind Alan, tens of thousands of players were chasing him.
Although Alan's movement speed was fast, he was quickly cornered in Lindataria due to the sheer number of people.
"This really gives me no chance at all!"
Alan leaped up, running on their shoulders.
But wherever he went, countless skills rained down on him.
Even if the damage from a single skill wasn't high, only dealing a few hundred or even just over a hundred damage.
But there were too many people.
Tens of thousands!
If all of them hit him at once, he wouldn't stand a chance and would be instantly killed.
Even in the current situation, he was losing over a hundred thousand health per second.
'For the first time, I feel like the resurrection altar in Lindataria is so far from the city gates.'
Alan's face was extremely grim.
In the moment he was killed, he stored all his equipment in the guild warehouse.
He was dead despite his best efforts.
His forty-four thousand plus health lasted a full nine seconds.
Lasting nine seconds was only because he appeared so suddenly that many players didn't react in time.
Looking at the resurrection countdown and the large group of players standing outside the resurrection altar, Alan was dumbfounded.
No chance at all.
Really, not a single chance.
'Holy crap!'
'I'm a dignified reborn, and in one day, I've been surrounded twice at the resurrection altar. This game system has gone too far!'
Alan grumbled in his heart.
But seeing the tens of thousands of players blocking the resurrection altar, and more players arriving from outside Lindataria, he gave up struggling.
His forty thousand plus health, honestly, was just a matter of one round of attacks.
Sure enough.
Alan had just resurrected when a round of attacks fell on him, and he died again.
Alan was very frustrated.
'This is pointless.'
'Really pointless!'
Alan chose to log off on the spot. 'Go ahead and bully me; as long as I'm not online, killing me a thousand times won't affect my mood.'
