Chapter 282: The Urge to Escape

Lonemoon frowned, thinking about the various lists and the introduction beneath them.

"I took a quick look earlier. S-grade beasts would earn you anywhere from 100 to 10,000 points." He pointed at the 100 points under his own name. "This is District S. The first person on this list has 2,300,000 points. In other words, we have to kill at least 230 S-grade beasts in order to become first place on that list."

"We can do that." Shen Ying gave him a thumbs up. "Father Niu is Grade SSS!"

Lonemoon lowered his gaze and looked at her suspiciously. "Why aren't you going on your own? If I can retain my own cultivation, you - the cheat - should be able too as well!"

"It's because I have Father Niu!"

You're just freaking lazy, aren't you?

"Are you sure that the highest level beasts on this planet are all S-grade?"

"Absolutely!" Shen Ying beat her own chest.

For some reason, he felt that she was being ridiculous. Lonemoon looked all around him and stood up hesitantly. "Let's go!" Forget it, they were already here anyway. He was just going to take it as experiencing the customs of outer space. When he looked around earlier, the S-grade beasts on this planet were the equivalent of tenth-stage demonic beasts in the immortal world. Given his cultivation level, he could take on more than ten of such beasts without breaking a sweat. What's more, he had Shen Ying, the cheat.

As he spoke, he dragged Shen Ying onto his flying sword and took off toward the dangerous district marked out on his map. He started to feel some excitement in his chest. Afterall, he was one of the strongest people on this planet. He wanted to test out his skills as someone at the top of the food chain.

The moment they left the safe district, a red exclamation mark appeared in front of them. A reminder sounded by their ears.

[Warning: An S-grade beast has been detected ahead.]

This really was some advanced technology. It even had a radar for beasts! Lonemoon landed, drew his immortal sword and waited for the beast to appear. In less than three seconds, the figure of a beast appeared in front of them... two beasts... 20 beasts... a few hundred...

Lonemoon: "..."

Shen Ying: "..."

(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

Why were there so many! Sh*t!

"Why didn't you tell me that the S-grade beasts travelled in herds!"

"Eh, I thought you knew."

"Knew my foot!" Lonemoon felt like breaking the cheater's neck. "You wouldn't rest if you didn't lie to me at least once, would you!" Given the size of the herd, it was almost a stampede! It was no wonder that they had not met any other player along the way. Everybody probably did not dare to come over for fear of getting killed.

Lonemoon watched as the beasts got nearer and nearer. He gritted his teeth and immediately stood upright. Without any hesitation, he shouted, "Go!"

He mounted his flying sword and ascended into the air.

"Wait!" Shen Ying pointed to the sky. "There are more in the sky!"

The next moment, he heard a lot of noise and turned to see a dense crowd of bodies.

Lonemoon: "..." F*ck, he really wanted to escape!

The beasts were getting closer. Lonemoon had no choice but to grit his teeth and go ahead. The sky suddenly filled with many swords. Lonemoon was not sure if these so-called beasts were really just animals from outer space. Although there were so many of them, each of them was not comparable to the demonic beasts in the immortal realm. They did not seem to have any intelligence whatsoever. Dealing with herds of beasts like that was much easier for Lonemoon. For a few minutes, he listened to the ring of his points increasing by his ear.

His points increased rapidly from 100, until he made it to the top of the list in under and hour. Still, his points continued to increase.

However...

No matter how relaxing it was, he could not stop the monsters from charging at him in the thousands.

"Go for it, Father Niu!"

"Go your ass!" Lonemoon glared at her. "Wait, don't tell me you've been remaining behind me all this time."

"Er..."

"Drop it! Help me! If you don't act now, I'm going to collapse!"

"I can't help you..."

"Why?" Lonemoon paused. He stabbed a beast that was charging toward him and rushed, "I can't hold on for much longer. Hurry up!"

"Oh." Shen Ying sighed. She took over his sword and waved it around. Immediately, a white flash appeared in the sky. There was a series of noises as the dense herd of S-grade beasts fell over, dead.

They all got destroyed in an instant!

The roars that sounded from all directions suddenly stopped.

Lonemoon heaved a sigh of relief. The array around him darkened.

Shen Ying kept the sword and pointed to the air above them. "Because of this!"

What?

Lonemoon paused. Before he could reach, a loud ding sounded from the air. A voice then filled the entire planet. It was monotonous and mechanical.

[Ding! A huge anomaly has been detected. Users confirmed: Shen Ying, Father Niu. A mass killing weapon has been carried into this game planet. This is a serious offence that damages the balance of the planet. The two user will be dealt with! They are banned from District S for two months!]

The next moment, Lonemoon saw the points on the bottom right-hand side of his screen deplete from millions to thousands to hundreds and finally, 100.

Lonemoon: "..." Son of a b*tch!

Forget about his score being wiped out - why was his ID Father Niu?

To hell with this "Father Niu" business!

(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

For the umpteenth time, he wanted to dump Shen Ying and run off!

——————

"Where are we going?" Lonemoon, who had been transported to District A by force, glanced at Shen Ying, who was walking in front of him.

"To the market," Shen Ying replied as she chewed on a fruit.

"What for?" Lonemoon hesitated.

Shen Ying halted as she turned around seriously. "Father Niu, I've done my analysis. We failed because we could only fight as hard as we could earlier and we had no assistance."

Was the failure earlier on not because she got caught cheating? She even dragged him into the mess!

"So-"

"So we should form a nanny!"

"..." What the hell!

Lonemoon pursed his lips and pondered the suggestion. According to the set routes in the game, a nanny would indeed be helpful to them. Given Shen Ying's million and one ways of cheating, she would be utterly useless to the team. All she would be able to do would be to stand aside and watch.

Although he was strong in battle, energy remained a problem. He was not as perverted as Chef - he would not give his life in battle. If there was a nanny causing some damage to the herd of beasts earlier, Shen Ying would not have gotten involved and caused trouble.

"Is there really such a race as nannies in the Star Network?" Lonemoon eyed her suspiciously. The information sheet from earlier had said it all - there were no special skills in the game. Everybody who entered depended on their own skills to kill beasts. The only kinds of special skills people had were the ones belonging to their own ethnicity. For example, black people could stay camouflaged in the night.

"Relax, it's alright!"

"..." Why did he feel even more unsettled upon hearing that?
