Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 923

Chapter 923: Making Money

While Gu Qing Shan was busy registering at the 900 million World Layers Hitman Guild.

At the same time.

Lin stood on the balcony of her Seaside Suite, slowly shadowboxing.

Her movements were extremely slow and light, giving off an otherworldly sense of flexibility and beauty. It almost felt like she wasn’t shadowboxing, but rather performing an elegant dance.

After a while, Lin’s thumb twitched.

Another finger other than her middle finger had recovered 20% of its power.

——-this recovery was extremely slow.

Lin shook her head.

If I still had my Abyssal form, I wouldn’t have needed to go through so much trouble and use shadowboxing to heal the wounds on my body.

At the same time, she was feeling a bit nostalgic.

It’s been so many years since I last shadowboxed like this.

Everything feels like it was just yesterday, but also like a faraway dream. Those people in my dream are already long gone, while I’m alone by myself, struggling to prolong the inevitable in this Reality that’s heading to ruins.

Perhaps recalling something, the corner of her mouth lifted just a bit and gave off an indescribable sense of mockery.

How could anything actually be ‘Eternal’?

If the Eternal Abyss itself was destroyed, creatures like myself who were simply infected by it would also not be able to escape the fate of death.

The only way to survive, my only wish before death is just to find that person and look for an answer.

And then.

Avenge everyone.

Lin undid her stance and stood up straight on the balcony.

The warm sunlight shined down on her.

The ocean’s vast blue coastline glittered within it.

But her visage appeared so lonely.

All of a sudden, purple glowing dots suddenly appeared out of nowhere, formed into strings of light, and expanded until it manifested a pattern.

A reverse summoning circle!

A figure emerged from the summoning circle.

——pale slender arms, pitch-black hair, a pointy chin, and charming eyes.

The handsome male evil creature from a few days ago had shown up again.

He looked at Lin without hiding his greed.

「 Dear lady, I couldn’t help coming back uninvited because of how mesmerized I am by you. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me 」

Lin glanced at him and said nothing.

The evil creature threw a ball of light to her and continued: 「 Tsk tsk, your boyfriend left you here alone while he went out to enjoy himself, what a heartless man 」

Lin received the ball of light and squashed it.

Right away, a scene was projected in front of her.

The scene showed Gu Qing Shan surrounded by women in a house of pleasure.

“What are you trying to say?” Lin looked at the scene and simply asked.

The evil creature told her: “Dear lady, this man is truly nothing but a Casanova, there’s no need for you to tie yourselves to death, is there? How about… you come to my world for a bit of fun instead? I can guarantee that you will enjoy yourself like nothing else”

“I refuse” Lin replied.

The evil creature froze.

His tone slowly changed:

“Lady, don’t be such a killjoy now. A beautiful object of affection that’s in a heavily wounded state like yourself is very welcomed in our world, I’ll have you know”

“For what reason?”

“Because the taste of your despair and helplessness would be extremely thick, this is the flavor that all evil creatures enjoy more than anything else” the evil creature excitedly licked his lips.

Lin sighed and replied: “And this is the reason why everyone hates evil creatures”

She raised her hand, put her middle finger against her thumb, and lightly flicked her fingers at him from afar.

Pop!

Despite standing over 10 meters away, the evil creature’s body suddenly exploded and splattered as a layer of blood and flesh on the wall.

Lin picked up a small bell and shook it.

The hotel’s maidservant suddenly appeared.

“Esteemed guest, how may I be of service?”

She bowed deeply with a look of sincere respect as she looked at Lin.

The hotel naturally had a few protective measures in place for its guests, but if a guest was willing to deal with it themselves, the hotel would not act.

This was to prevent them from interfering with the guest’s enjoyment.

Lin nodded at the maidservant: “I’m sorry, but I seemed to have made the room a bit dirty, please go ahead and clean it up”

“Understood, we will see to it right away”

The maidservant replied.

…

The 900 million World Layers Hitman Guild.

As soon as the flying sword went away, the robust man offered Gu Qing Shan a cigar from behind his counter.

His eyes were very sharp, so he instantly noticed that the other party wasn’t quite as simple as they had thought.

“From the looks of it, you’re a Miasma Stealther aren’t you?”

The robust man asked with intrigue.

To be able to control a weapon so fluently, it could only be one of these very few Professions: Sword Cultivator, Spirit Artifact Warrior, and Miasma Stealther.

Among them, Sword Cultivator was a human Profession, and one with relatively few practitioners; Spirit Artifact Warrior was an Elven exclusive Profession; only Miasma Stealther was a Profession for evil creatures.

——–all of them were powerful combat Professions that were extremely suitable for becoming a Hitman.

“Correct, I’m a Miasma Stealther”

Gu Qing Shan didn’t deny it.

He borrowed a lighter from the robust man and lit the cigar.

The robust man’s eyebrows relaxed.

Having a powerful Hitman-type evil creature for the organization is a good thing.

Not to mention, he already passed the stone horse’s test, clearly stating that he only joined the Guild because he needed money.

It wasn’t actually because he felt it troublesome that he didn’t join the bounty hunter guild.

He simply doesn’t want to share the spoils.

—–as an evil creature that wants nothing but money, relatively speaking, this was quite a ‘clean’ fellow.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the robust man and asked: “So, do I need to bring its body back here?”

“A body part is fine” the robust man replied.

“How about an ear?”

“That will do”

One breath.

Two breaths.

Thud!

A bloody object fell straight onto the counter and landed on the wanted poster, soaking it red.

It was a severed ear!

The robust man picked the ear up and gave it to a black-shirted man behind him.

The man checked it briefly and confirmed: “It’s authentic, it’s the Man Snake’s ear”

Everyone turned their eyes to Gu Qing Shan.

Behind Gu Qing Shan, a sword had just returned, silently fading away.

It took him less than 10 breaths’ worth of time to find and kill that Man Snake.

This is an expert, most likely an Archfiend.

The robust man took out a medal and placed it on the table.

“Welcome, our new Hitman”

He smiled and said.

Gu Qing Shan received the medal and looked outside the lobby.

The sky is already turning a bit golden.

The cat’s medicine shop closes at 5 PM.

Let’s get this over with quickly.

Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a brief moment and put the medal back on the table.

“What are you trying to say?” the robust man asked.

“What kind of target can I kill at this level? Please give me a list” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“You want to…” the robust man hesitantly asked.

“Make money”

Gu Qing Shan replied without hesitation.

The robust man showed a smile.

For the Guild, money had always been a small issue.

Earning the allegiance of a powerful Archfiend in exchange for a bit of money was nothing but profitable.

He gestured with his eyes towards the blue-skinned girl at the start.

“Please wait a moment”

The girl went behind the counter and took out a thick clip of documents from a drawer.

The robust man then ordered: “Bring all the targets in this world and let our Archfiend brother here choose for himself”

The girl responded positively and took out a pile of wanted posters from the clip, placing them in front of Gu Qing Shan.

The robust man explained: “These are all the jobs issued on this world, those with the eye marker are the ones with targets that happened to also be on this world”

“Thank you”

Gu Qing Shan counted them out.

There were a total of 791 wanted posters.

He scanned through them, carefully considered each one, and picked out 85 wanted posters, placing them on one side.

“You’re going to kill that many targets at once?” the robust man was shocked.

“No, these people are related in one way or another to our tribe, so I’m not going to kill them” Gu Qing Shan replied.

In truth, the 85 targets on those posters were not unforgivable villains, and Gu Qing Shan could even see one of them currently doing something good right now.

“Then what are you—–”

“I’m going to accept the remaining 706 jobs. As you know, I’m penniless right now”

Gu Qing Shan replied.

The man froze.

The girl froze.

Right in front of them, four swords appeared from the void of space behind the Archfiend.

The four flying swords with different designs vibrated sharply and broke through the void of space, swiftly vanishing without a trace.
