The package also included five photos, a short video, and a large parcel. The five photos captured the death scene of the player "Dark River God" from various angles.
The deceased was a thin, dark-skinned old man whose body had been severed into two halves, lying not far apart on the ground.
The short video, only 30 seconds long, showed the final moments of the giant black snake killing Dark River God. Qi Xu clicked to watch it and narrowed his eyes after just a few seconds.
He must be an ability user!
Although Qi Xu had only met one ability user—Blessing—before, the difference between such individuals and ordinary people was unmistakable.
No matter how high or powerful one's three-dimensional stats were, it was impossible to achieve such incredible speed!
Moreover, his eyes emitted a strange light. The moment that light touched the giant black snake, even with its formidable defenses, a small patch of its flesh began to smoke.
If it had been an ordinary person, that chunk of flesh would probably have been vaporized.
Right now, Qi Xu felt immensely grateful for his own caution. If he had faced such an enemy head-on, he would’ve suffered dearly. Good riddance!
As for the last item in the parcel—it was Dark River God's corpse and his vehicle. The Assassin's Guild really went above and beyond with their service!
The corpse was one thing, but they even packaged and delivered the vehicle! What a thoughtful snake! A thrifty, resourceful serpent indeed!
The vehicle was a Level 6 modified machine, upgraded to the point where its original model was unrecognizable. It now resembled an armored car, clearly worth a fortune.
As for the corpse, Qi Xu meticulously inspected it several times and even found two master-servant contracts among the belongings...
The two enslaved players were unfamiliar to him, except for one—Wolf Warrior 008!
Lately, it seemed like he’d stumbled into a nest of Wolf Warriors. First, he encountered Wolf Warrior 006 in the cross-region arena challenge, then Ember Kiss Star Moon delivered Wolf Warrior 004, and now here was Wolf Warrior 008!
Wolf Warrior 008 and Dark River God were from the same sub-region—both belonged to Major Region 08, Sub-Region 438.
Since Dark River God was dead, both master-servant contracts were nullified. While Qi Xu couldn’t recruit Wolf Warrior 008 right away, at least their life should improve somewhat.
Finding nothing else of value, Qi Xu casually tossed Dark River God’s corpse into the black mist.
It was just a routine action, but to his surprise, the black mist reacted again.
It condensed into four words: "Yummy, yummy!" Then, it spat out a diamond-tier supply crate.
Qi Xu was stunned. So the black mist could distinguish flavors too? What, were ability users just tastier than ordinary people?
He immediately opened the diamond crate, only to find a single map fragment inside. If it had been any other color, Qi Xu would’ve felt cheated—but this one was pink! Just one more piece left!
Overjoyed, Qi Xu showered the black mist with a 1000-word-long, effusive praise session.
The black mist paused for a moment, then formed a heart shape before dissipating...
Communication was still a bit rough, but it did nothing to dampen Qi Xu’s soaring mood.
Next, he thoroughly searched the vehicle. Aside from basic living supplies, there was nothing valuable inside, so he sent everything salvageable to "Wealth from All Directions."
Wealth from All Directions replied: "Wow, these are all great finds! A massage chair that reduces fatigue, a mattress that enhances sleep quality, a self-refilling water cup, a spill-proof table mat, perfectly fitted underwear...
Boss, you really don’t want any of this?"
"Nope. Keep it if you want, otherwise sell it for me."
Wealth from All Directions: "Got it, haha!"
Qi Xu noticed that Wealth from All Directions didn’t list the items in the public chat or trading hall—likely because they had their own exclusive clientele.
Once the small items were sold, only the big-ticket vehicle remained.
A Level 6 armored car equipped with a laser gun had to be worth a hefty sum of Survival Coins.
Qi Xu pulled out his work ID and asked, "Qiuqiu, what’s the verdict?"
"Scanning the Level 6 Multi-Purpose Combat Armored Vehicle for sale... Wear and tear at 1%, no damaged parts, no dents or scratches, equipped with multiple functional appliances. Final appraisal: Excellent condition. Estimated price: 3,889 Survival Coins. Confirm sale?"
Qi Xu sucked in a sharp breath. This "Kill Order" had been an absolute steal! Not only did it come with a "100 Billion Subsidy," but there was also a "Cashback on Confirmed Delivery" promotion.
All things considered... he’d barely spent anything, leaving him with the exhilarating feeling of getting something for nothing! If only there were more enemies, he’d happily place a few more orders!
"Round it up, Qiuqiu."
"Respected Scrap Collector, this price is already very fair. But since you asked, I can’t just refuse—4,000 it is!"
"Deal."
Qiuqiu’s sudden professionalism was oddly amusing. As soon as the deal closed, Qi Xu assigned another task: "Compile a list of all Level 6 vehicle owners in Major Region 88, Sub-Region 666. Check if they’re all in the Gold Group Chat. You can deduct 20 Survival Coins as your fee."
This wasn’t a bribe or tax evasion—just a fair payment for a fair service.
Qiuqiu was so excited it nearly inflated, scurrying off to get the job done.
Right then, the Assassin's Guild’s "Order Review" popped up, rating service attitude, efficiency, and quality.
Without hesitation, Qi Xu maxed out all the stars and left a glowing 2,000-word review.
He praised the guild leader’s diligence, commended the lightning-fast order completion, and emphatically promised to return as a repeat customer!
The review also allowed tipping—Qi Xu generously added 200 Survival Coins. As long as the job was done well, money was no object! He’d already scored a massive bargain since the materials for crafting an S-rank assassin weren’t even available yet.
Seeing the review and tip, the giant black snake felt all its efforts had been worth it. Black Whirlwind was such a great guy!
While the payment had to go toward the guild’s development, the tip went straight into its pocket!
Originally, the snake had planned to rest for a couple of days before hunting the next target.
Now? It set off immediately!
After a brief search, just one minute shy of 9 PM, the black snake landed and lunged with jaws wide open. But its target reacted swiftly—only half an arm was torn off before the person vanished from sight...
The snake sniffed in confusion. It could still smell the human nearby but couldn’t pinpoint their exact location.
Then, it felt an odd sensation at its tail. Turning around, it saw a massive cleaver... gently scratching its tail?
