Volume 2, Chapter 34 – Here, Put This On to Protect Yourself

Zhou Jieyu looked at the expressionless Anran, completely gobsmacked.

Hey, hey, hey, this isn’t right, is it?

This isn’t how it goes in normal movies either, right?

Shouldn’t the first one to speak be you?

Shouldn’t you be pulling out a sniper rifle and sniping the other side?

Or maybe you should go out and draw their fire while I pick off the enemies?

“Go on, hurry up!” Anran urged again.

Zhou Jieyu looked troubled.

Anran said in “surprise,” “Aren’t you my guard?”

Ummm…

That was true, but Zhou Jieyu still found it hard to accept.

“If that’s the case, then I won’t make things difficult for you. Let’s cancel the arrangement.” Anran “let out a sigh.”

“Do you want to abandon the mission?”

“Ugh…”

No way. How could she let a mission that had already fallen into her hands just fly away like that?

Zhou Jieyu secretly encouraged herself. It’s just being bait, right? I’m not scared!

“No!”

“I’ll go!”

Gripping the gun in her hand tightly, Zhou Jieyu put on a determined expression and said to Anran.

“Mm, don’t be afraid. My aim is very good. If they really are enemies, you only need to hold on for three or four seconds,” Anran said.

Three or four seconds? By then the daylilies will already be cold.

Zhou Jieyu could not help complaining inwardly. This NPC was not as cute as she looked. She seemed very capable, but her personality really was nasty.

But for the sake of EXP and rewards, Zhou Jieyu endured it.

How did the saying go again? Wealth is found in danger. Screw it, I’m going all in!

Hunched over and trembling, Zhou Jieyu walked out.

Anran watched Zhou Jieyu leave. When dealing with players, it really did seem that when it was time to threaten them, you had to threaten them.

Otherwise they would definitely get so cheeky that you couldn’t stand it.

If she really became a Boss someday, then she would have to be even more careful in how she dealt with players.

As Zhou Jieyu stepped out, Anran aimed her gun outside the alley. The flash she had seen earlier had come from a building across the street, probably three or four stories high. The street itself was not wide, so a pistol was perfectly capable of picking off targets.

Whoosh…

Bang bang bang…

The wind blew through the street.

Gunfire sounded in the distance.

The moment Zhou Jieyu ran out, she immediately ducked low and hid behind a roadside tree. Her 9 points of Agility were pushed to the limit, and even she herself was shocked by her own speed.

So my talent is actually this high. What an unexpected surprise.

She panted hard. It had only been a short five-meter dash, but Zhou Jieyu felt as though she had gone through a long journey. Half the strength in her body had been drained away, and beads of sweat began to roll down.

Isn’t this way too exaggerated?!

Seeing Zhou Jieyu’s performance, Anran was dumbstruck.

That survival instinct was terrifyingly strong.

“How is it?” Zhou Jieyu asked between breaths.

Anran shook her head. She had not spotted anyone just now. “Not for the moment…”

Before she could finish speaking, a red dot suddenly appeared in Anran’s field of vision.

She raised her pistol. [Precision Shooting] took effect, and with a bang, the bullet flew out first.

-121.

A red damage number immediately floated past the window of a building across the street.

Anran threw herself backward, pressing her back tightly against the wall. At that same moment, a deep groove suddenly appeared on the wall in front of her, and fragments of stone sprayed onto her arm.

That was close. There was more than one person over there.

The one she hit had most likely already lost the ability to move, and his companion was standing right beside him.

Twinmoon City was truly dangerous.

Anran gestured toward Zhou Jieyu.

“Their fire is on me now. It’s your time to perform.”

Zhou Jieyu took a deep breath. At this point, she had accepted her fate. Since she had taken the mission, she might as well do it properly.

The moment she thought of the reward, Zhou Jieyu felt she could temporarily overcome her fear.

Bang bang bang…

Under the baptism of bullets, several fresh holes were blasted into the wall in an instant.

Zhou Jieyu suddenly spun around and stepped out, raised her pistol, gave only the roughest of aims, and started pulling the trigger over and over again.

The enemy who had been suppressing Anran with gunfire was startled at once. Just as he swung his gun around and prepared to attack Zhou Jieyu, Anran moved again.

Aim and fire flowed in one motion. The fast aiming speed provided by Precision Shooting left the enemy upstairs with only enough time to think, So fast, before he was shot in the head.

GG.

Bang!

Anran fired another shot and sent the other wounded man leaning by the window to the sky as well.

If they were “family,” then they ought to stay neat and tidy together. How could only one of them die?

“You killed a Morningstar Resistance soldier and obtained 400 Free EXP.”

“You killed a Morningstar Resistance soldier and obtained 400 Free EXP.”

Beautiful.

So awesome.

Zhou Jieyu swallowed.

Only after she finished shooting did she realize that her shots had gone everywhere. She had not even hit inside the window frame. Who would have thought that NPC Anran would take out both enemies with just two shots?

What a massive thigh to cling to. If only her attitude were not quite so nasty.

“There shouldn’t be any problem now,” Anran said.

Zhou Jieyu had been standing outside in a daze for half a minute already. If there were still Morningstar people around, she probably would have been shot in the head long ago.

That was how Anran judged that this place was safe.

Unfortunately, Zhou Jieyu was still being kept in the dark. She simply assumed Anran had reached that conclusion because she had cleared out those two people.

“But what if someone’s lying in ambush…”

“There won’t be.” Anran did not care in the least. Her confident manner made Zhou Jieyu believe her too.

So the two of them walked side by side down the street, Anran on the inner side and Zhou Jieyu on the outer side.

Ummm…

Reаd οn ΚatRеadіոɡСafе

After walking for a while, Zhou Jieyu suddenly noticed something rather interesting.

Anran’s footsteps were completely synchronized with hers.

How interesting.

Anran kept a calm expression and turned her head to glance at Zhou Jieyu.

Mm. She’s a bit taller than me, and a bit bigger too. Even if the enemy fires from above, Leading the Escape would make a good shield.

The only drawback was probably that once players were killed, their corpses would not remain for long and would disappear very quickly.

The natives in the game, the NPCs, all knew about this characteristic, so players were collectively called Outlanders.

Anyway, this world was already strange enough. The appearance of a group of Outlanders was not especially strange.

(After all, it’s an online game. Just understand it as the First Law of Night of the Stars.)

This issue did not trouble Anran for long. As they passed the entrance to an underground garage, Anran spotted a motorcycle, and there was also a helmet on it.

“Wait here!”

After saying that, Anran ran over and brought the helmet back.

“Here, put this on.”

She set the helmet on Zhou Jieyu’s head.

“Hm? What’s this for?” Zhou Jieyu looked at Anran in confusion. The helmet was a little too big.

Anran explained, “Wear a helmet. Protect your head.”

“…”

Zhou Jieyu felt like she was about to be moved to tears. The first helmet had actually been given to her.

This NPC wasn’t that nasty after all.
