Chapter 1221 A Thief's Great Merit
"Pooh--!"
Floyd spat out a mouthful of blood into the flower bed, took out a bottle of spray, shook it, and then sprayed it on the cut on her neck.
The fatal wound healed quickly and his originally rapid breathing became smooth again.
Her cold face was covered in blood, and a splash of blood from the corner of her eye just happened to connect the three small moles into a line, making her look even more ferocious than usual.
"Number four is truly impressive. Your potential has never been fully assessed. I can put an S in your file when I get back."
Floyd said as he looked at Fang Qing, who was standing opposite him, completely unharmed and even "spotless".
Fang Qing, who was leaning on a crutch, looked at the pile of broken parts and body parts at Floyd's feet and sighed.
"Why do we have to make things so awkward? Can't you just take a step back and give up on killing this junior high student?"
"What's her potential rating, making her worthy of being killed personally?"
Fang Qing asked back.
Floyd shook his head. "I don't know. It should be either an A or an A+, right?"
Fang Qing paused with his cane. "A-level potential, isn't that possible? And you haven't even figured out what her potential is, so why would you do it yourself?"
"You'll have other things to do here soon, won't you? You've wasted so much energy on me. How are you going to deal with the reinforcements from Order?"
"Not really," Floyd pulled a pack of wipes from his pocket and wiped the blood off his face and hands. "But... the fact that you, the Freedom Alliance, are protecting her so much definitely proves that this little girl has something special about her. So, naturally, I want to see what changes she'll experience after becoming a 'player.'"
Fang Qing listened to Floyd's words and was silent for a long time. Then he took out his mobile phone, pressed a few buttons with one hand, then raised his head and tried his best to control his tone to be calm.
"Did you know that she is a direct relative of a member of our organization?"
Floyd was stunned: "Oh, is that so? Oh, is this why you defended that girl?"
Fang Qing took a deep breath. "What else? I believe your Freedom Alliance's internal information should have been written as well, right?"
Floyd also took out her cell phone to take a look, then looked down at her toes - she was wearing Crocs under her white coat and suit pants, so her toes could be seen through the gaps.
Floyd spoke softly with his head lowered.
"I didn't look that closely."
Fang Qing had a blank expression on his face: "Aren't you a 'scholar'? With your personality, how did you awaken to this 'profession'?"
Floyd rubbed his face, then regained his composure. He raised his head and said arrogantly again, "People always make mistakes, and I'm no exception. Player...haven't you made any mistakes?"
"Besides, my fight with you is actually a good thing for both of us. After fighting you, I can feel... I'm one step closer to gaining power."
Fang Qing leaned on a crutch with one hand: "Ha...power? I hope to be as far away from that thing as possible."
Floyd shook his head. "How can you think that? As a strong man, and one with great talent, you should take responsibility."
"I think we have different definitions of 'responsibility'. I think I'm more responsible," Fang Qing said, waving his hand. "Okay, 'Floyd', our concepts are different to begin with, so let's not waste time discussing it here. I hope you'll give up the mission objective here for now. Is that okay?"
Floyd nodded. "Of course, since your Freedom Alliance is protecting her not because of her inherent specialness, but because of 'emotional factors'... I can compromise on this point."
Fang Qing said, "Very good. It seems we have reached a consensus. There are no other conflicts between you and me. Now, go ahead and execute your plan. After all, none of us knows when the 'hacker' will return."
"By the way, it's okay if you don't answer - what are you planning in Jiangcheng?"
Floyd thought about it and didn't hide it. Instead, he extended an invitation: "We plan to blow up the physical part of the 'Forum' server. Do you want to join us?"
Fang Qing was surprised: "Oh, so this is what you planned, that's really... bold."
"I'm not going to do that. I just anonymously purchased the Forum's daily newsletter annual meeting package from Phoenix. While blowing up the forum sounds fun and I won't stop you, I won't actively participate in anything that could potentially cost me my money."
"Besides, when I was fighting you just now, that demon took the opportunity to escape - I have to capture her."
Fang Qing declined politely.
Floyd didn't force it. "Okay, then, go ahead and get busy. I'm going to blow up the forum. Oh, and here's a piece of news: the hacker left Jiangcheng to rescue the Grandmaster who was trapped by the Fortune Teller. So now, not only is the hacker away, but the Grandmaster is also unable to provide support."
"Even if the Knights arrive, or the Night's Watch come to fill in the gaps, the primary target should be me."
"So, if you're on your own in Jiangcheng, you should be relatively safe—perhaps even for a week."
"Because after I leave, the 'King of Heaven' should also come in about a day—she's currently in the vicinity of Jiangcheng."
Fang Qing was surprised: "King of Heaven? How did you know she would come?"
"Because she was the one who told me that the Grandmaster was trapped, and we discussed it."
"So, she must have come here with a mission as well. I don't know what it is, but since she's here personally, it's bound to be a big deal."
Floyd said calmly.
Fang Qing thought for a moment, then took out a black and blue ball from his arms and threw it over.
"I won't hear this news for nothing. I'm giving it to you."
Floyd reached out and caught the dark blue ball, frowned and asked, "What is this?"
Fang Qing said calmly, "[Singularity Bomb], if you had continued fighting me just now, I would have used this thing to blow you up in my next move... Now that you're in poor condition after fighting me, if you encounter any backup plans left by the 'hacker', this thing can save your life."
"Thank you, but the 'hacker' himself is not here, so the traps you set up won't kill me."
Floyd continued speaking confidently.
Fang Qing stretched out his hand: "Give it back to me."
"Goodbye."
Floyd said this, turned and left, his figure disappearing in the noise.
Fang Qing sighed.
"How shameless! She should just join the Predators."
"But... fortunately, I don't want it either—Ah Nian, did you get it?"
Li Nian poked his head out from the shadow behind Fang Qing and took out a metal lighter as if he was presenting a treasure.
“I got it, boss—this is so exciting!”
"I love you, Boss. Without your help and protection, I would never be able to steal from a 'Level 4' player, and the fifth-ranked player on the leaderboard, 'Floyd'!"
"It feels so thrilling... but so addictive!"
