Chapter 57 - Pardon Card

Chapter 57 – Pardon Card

"Shua!"

A gold beam fell upon me and I once again reached Level 32 after killing a Cloud Water Snake. I was close to tears. Damn, if not for the 2 consecutive deaths this afternoon, I would already be within the Top 10 of Ba Huang City. To miss such a rare opportunity...

Suddenly, "Sha Sha", the grass by the shore moved. A few seconds later, a beautiful silhouette appeared, Level 34 Assassin beauty, Yue Qing Qian.

"Qing Qian!"

I walked forward, "You've come a long way, what is it that you want to give me?"

Yue Qing Qian smiled as she stretched her hand into her waist-pouch and pulled out a card, "Look, I somehow managed to acquire this from an auction, I'm sure it'll be useful to you..."

I reached for it and took the blood red card.

[Pardon Card]: After using this card, for 12 hours, the user will not receive any penalties for killing other players.

.......

"Oh?"

Shocked, I continued, "Qing Qian, this should be pretty expensive right? I really do need it though..."

Yue Qing Qian laughed and shook her head: "Not really, it's only 5 gold because not many people want it. Everyone is more focused on rushing to Level 40 for their second class upgrade. Nobody has the time to spend on killing people all day, Of course, Tyrant of Western Chu is an exception..."

Yue Qing Qian looked at my equipment from head to toe as she spoke.

"Eh? Brother Xiao Yao, you...why are you wearing heavy armor? Aren't you...aren't you a healer?"

I patted the Dragon City Scavenger insignia on my shoulder, "Nope, I just changed my class to Swordsman."

"Wah, no wonder you could withstand the attacks from the Generals and even kill 3 of them..."

"I still died though, my level was insufficient..."

"Hmm." Yue Qing Qian blinked and continued, "I suggest you stop training here, your current location is pretty much an open secret and is sure to attract endless players to try and kill you for the 1000 gold bounty. The temptation is simply irresistible!"

"I know, Qing Qian, you can return first, I'll change my training spot right away,"

"Okay, Brother Xiao Yao you must be careful!"

"Sure..."

......

I watched Yue Qing Qian disappear into the distance, and then opened the map of my surroundings. I did have to move from here, many players were going to come here looking to kill me soon. So it wouldn't be possible for me to level in peace. Liu Ying wanted to buy my doom, but I wouldn't surrender so easily. I had to be as tough and difficult to kill as a c**kroach, and bide my time for the perfect moment to strike back.

"Di!"

Yue Qing Qian sent yet another message: "Brother Xiao Yao, one more thing!"

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Have you heard of the [Vanguard] guild?"

"Of course, they are Rank number 3 in China, second only to [Legend] and [Hero's Mound]. How can I not have heard of them?"

"Well..." Yue Qing Qian sounded worried: "[Vanguard] guild left Jiu Li City towards Ba Huang City this morning. Their leader, Jian Feng is also on the way over, they will reach Ba Huang within a day. The whole Ba Huang City's balance of power is going to change, even [Prague] is feeling the heat. Half an hour earlier, I heard that Jian Feng saw the video of you PK-ing the Generals and is interested to exchange a few blows with you..."
