Chapter 11: Killing Intent Perception, A-Order Quest

The old wizard crouched down and examined the lizardman's eyes. Seeing the blue eyes, he flushed with excitement.

"Haha, great! This damn lizard is finally dead!" The old wizard raised his head, gratitude evident in his voice. "Adventurer, thank you for avenging my loyal Patch. What kind of reward do you want? As long as it's within my ability, I'll gladly give it."

[Hint: The old wizard favors you +40, current: 75 points.]

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the B-rank hidden mission: Revenge Xue Hate. Obtained: 200 experience points, B-rank medal +1, Silvermoon City faction points +10.]

[You reach level 6 and gain 1 free attribute point.]

[Please select the reward type: ① Equipment ② Props ③ Skill book.]

"Give me a skill book," Lin Kong said without hesitation. He had no interest in equipment or props.

"I remember getting an archer's skill book once." The old wizard frowned, deep in thought, then turned and entered the house.

The professionals around them were speechless.

"This seems to have triggered a special event. Isn't it a reward for nothing?"

The crowd looked envious, discussing among themselves. The street was buzzing with noise. Someone used a detection skill on the blue-eyed lizard corpse and got some information.

"This... this is the leader's strange corpse!" they exclaimed.

"Wait, is 'Y035622' the number of the boss who killed the boss monster?" someone asked uncertainly.

Various voices converged into one answer: Lin Kong was the professional who killed the boss monster. The noisy street suddenly fell silent as everyone turned to Lin Kong with awe and envy.

The novice area had only been open for three days, and Lin Kong was the first to kill a boss, proving his strength.

Lin Kong stood quietly, ignoring the discussion around him. Soon, an old voice came from the house.

"Adventurer, come in quickly. I have found the skill book you want," the old wizard called excitedly.

Hearing this, Lin Kong didn't hesitate and stepped into the wooden house. With the memory of his dreams, he knew everything about the old wizard.

Inside the room, the old wizard held a dusty skill book, his hands trembling with excitement. "Adventurer, did you get Patch's relic? Can you return it to me?"

Patch was an ice wolf, his pet, who had accompanied the old wizard for over ten years.

"No problem," Lin Kong said, taking out the Frost Fang and handing it over.

"Thank you." The old wizard held the Frost Fang with trembling fingers, tears in his eyes. "I shouldn't have let you go to the burrow alone to collect materials. Evil orcs, I will make you pay with blood!" he gritted his teeth, then put away the ice fang and handed Lin Kong the skill book.

[Hint: You get the skill book "Killing Intent Perception · Rank B"]

"Has this book been damaged?" Lin Kong frowned. The skill book was only half, the second half torn off.

"It is said that the complete skill book has mysterious power," the old wizard sighed. "Unfortunately, I'm too old and weak to find the other part."

Lin Kong nodded. This skill book was special. Although it was B-level, it could be learned at level 1. He clapped his hands.

[Ding, you learned the skill: Killing Intent Perception Passive.]

[Killing Intent Perception · B Rank]

Type: Passive · Incapacitated

Effect: In an area with a radius of [Spirit*50%] meters, you can detect whether any unit has killing intent towards you.

A very useful passive skill, especially against stealthy assassins.

"Incomplete skills can be supplemented with deduction stones, but I don't know what the original quality of this skill is. When I leave the dungeon world, I'll go directly to the temple of skills," Lin Kong planned. He then looked at the old wizard and asked, "Do you have anything else that needs doing? Do you need my help?"

"There is indeed a task that needs help," the old wizard said solemnly. "But it is very difficult and life-threatening. Do you still want to accept it?"

"Of course," Lin Kong answered quietly, his face calm.

"Okay, then listen carefully." The old wizard began explaining. In the west of Kaijiao Forest, 30 kilometers away, was a burrow where many Lizardmen defectors were entrenched. His pet Patch had gone to collect materials near the crypt and never returned. The last image seen was of a blue-eyed lizardman.

"My mission is for you to eradicate the lizard orcs in the burrow! Avenge Patch!" the old wizard said seriously.

"Patch is your pet. Why don't you take revenge yourself?" Lin Kong asked.

"This..." The old wizard blushed. "I'm not in good health and can't endure high-intensity battles."

Lin Kong nodded. He knew the truth: the evil orcs in the burrow were monsters unintentionally created by the old wizard.

[Hint: You get a hidden quest of Tier A: Evil Catacombs. Description: Eliminate all lizardmen in the evil burrows.]

The follow-up A-rank mission was here! The evil crypt contained a lord monster and many mobs. Completing the quest would also fulfill the main quest's requirement for 100 Lizardmen.

After accepting the task, Lin Kong left the house. Players on the street watched him with envy.

Lin Kong shook his head helplessly. It was late, and the village was patrolled by many level 10 militia, so he didn't worry about enemy attacks. However, he hadn't triggered [Death Gift] yet today, and he didn't want to waste the opportunity.

But who could kill him nearby?

Lin Kong turned his eyes to the old wizard at the door, a level 10 wizard of B-rank, very powerful.

"It's up to you!" Lin Kong smiled.

The old wizard, seeing the smile on Lin Kong's face, felt a shiver run down his spine. He didn't realize he was about to be used as a tool.
