Chapter 6 – Murderous Intent

"Equipment!?" Chen Mo looked at the dagger in his hand with a strange expression on his face.

The introduction of the game Divine Path mentioned that real-world items could be used, but they wouldn't provide any attributes.

For example, you could pick up a stone from the ground and use it to hit someone, but it wouldn't offer any attribute bonuses.

Only equipment that drops in the game would provide attribute bonuses.

He never expected that the dagger he always carried with him would actually have attributes.

It added a full 10 points to attack power and 1% to attack speed.

Although the 1% attack speed didn't make much difference at the moment, the 10 points in attack power were enough to give him a significant lead over most people.

The game introduction mentioned that growing in Divine Path was extremely difficult, so the drop rate for equipment was definitely not high.

Starting with an extra piece of equipment gave him a huge advantage in early development.

Zhao Kai's Purple Talent increased all attributes by 25%, which was strong, but because his base stats were low in the early stages, his attack power only increased by one or two points.

Meanwhile, his dagger directly boosted his attack power by 10 points, completely overshadowing the opponent's talent in the early game.

"This is truly a pleasant surprise!" Chen Mo's face rarely showed a hint of a smile.

At this moment, Zhao Kai no longer had his earlier arrogant demeanor. Clutching his neck, he looked at Chen Mo with a face full of terror.

After absorbing the light points, their bodies had changed; injuries wouldn't bleed, but the pain was very real.

He never expected Chen Mo to be so ruthless, aiming to kill with such ferocity.

Although he had said he wanted to kill the other party, it was just talk; his real intention was merely to teach a lesson.

After all, they were just ordinary college students. Even though the world had changed, people couldn't change so easily. Killing someone wasn't something you could just decide to do.

But he felt that Chen Mo really intended to kill him.

Just a moment ago, he felt like he saw his great-grandmother waving at him.

The fear of death made Zhao Kai forget his previous arrogance, and he didn't even have the courage to fight back. He just wanted to get away from this madman as quickly as possible.

Chen Mo watched Zhao Kai scrambling away and curled his lips into a cold smile.

In this situation, the police probably wouldn't be able to do anything about killing someone.

He was thoroughly fed up with Zhao Kai.

Since this guy was so eager to die, he might as well fulfill his wish.

With that, Chen Mo quickly caught up and stabbed Zhao Kai again with his dagger.

-17

This time, he didn't hit the neck, so the damage was halved, but it still took a significant chunk of Zhao Kai's health.

"Ah..." Zhao Kai screamed miserably.

"Chen Mo, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I won't dare again, please, don't kill me! Just treat me like a fart and let me go, please!"

At this moment, Zhao Kai was completely terrified.

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the people around, who gathered to watch.

Chen Mo ignored Zhao Kai's pleas, tightened his grip on the dagger, and stabbed Zhao Kai's neck again.

Since he had already made his move, there was no need to hold back.

"Stop!" a teacher shouted urgently upon seeing this scene.

However, Chen Mo's hand didn't pause at all, and the dagger accurately struck Zhao Kai's neck.

-34 (Weak Point Attack)

Another massive damage number appeared, and Zhao Kai's health bar instantly emptied, his body collapsing straight to the ground.

His eyes were still wide open, his face full of disbelief.

Even in death, he couldn't believe that Chen Mo actually dared to kill him, and in front of so many people.

How could he dare!

He had just come to show off, how did it end up costing him his life...

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have dared to provoke Chen Mo even with a thousand guts.

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as foresight in this world...

The people around were also wide-eyed, looking at Chen Mo in disbelief.

The game had just descended, and most people's mindsets were still stuck in the old world.

Killing was something that was hard for ordinary people to accept.

Zhao Kai's body quickly dissipated, turning into a black light invisible to others and merging into Chen Mo's body.

A prompt sounded in Chen Mo's mind.

"Talent Plunder triggered, successfully plundered 1 point of energy from player Brother Kai."

Hearing this prompt, Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.

"So this is my talent?"

"Killing can plunder energy!?"

"That's not bad."

Although Chen Mo had a slight aversion to killing just now, it was only a slight one, and he quickly overcame it.

After the game descended, killing wasn't as bloody; the body would just dissipate after being killed, making it less difficult to accept.

The only hurdle was overcoming the psychological barrier.

Fortunately, Chen Mo had always had a strong mind.

As time passed, he figured others would soon adapt as well, and killing might become a commonplace occurrence.

At this moment, a teacher finally snapped out of his shock and sternly addressed Chen Mo:

"Which class are you from, student!? Why did you kill someone!?"

"Now that the world has changed, we should be helping each other, not killing!"

"Exactly, don't think you can do whatever you want just because the world is in chaos. The authorities will come soon, and you'll go to jail for murder!"

A group of people began to condemn Chen Mo...

Chen Mo's expression remained calm, and he didn't bother to explain. He was never good with words; he only knew how to take action.

Looking at these self-righteous people, Chen Mo couldn't be bothered to argue with them.

He cast a cold glance at them and then turned to leave.

These people wanted to stop him, but no one dared to step forward.

That glance from Chen Mo just now sent chills down their spines.

Talking was easy, but taking action was another matter.

In the crowd not far away, a strikingly beautiful woman was staring intently at Chen Mo's departing figure...

She was one of Jiangcheng's campus beauties, and the woman everyone said Chen Mo had abandoned, Wang Yuqing!

She happened to witness Chen Mo killing Zhao Kai, and it left her deeply shocked.

She was very familiar with Chen Mo, and she had even come to Jiangcheng University largely because of him.

Her father wanted her to win over Chen Mo so that their family's debt to his family could be wiped clean.

Wang Yuqing originally thought that with her looks and figure, coupled with her rich romantic experience, winning over a little virgin would be a piece of cake.

But she never expected that he wouldn't even give her a second glance, which was a huge blow to her pride.

Later, when Chen Mo's parents had an accident, her father told her not to associate with him anymore, so she hadn't sought him out since.

She never imagined that after not seeing him for a while, he would become so ruthless!

Was this still the same innocent boy from before!?
