The Little Bird Inn was considered a rather luxurious building in Little Bird Town.

At the entrance of the inn, a copper bird with outstretched wings was hanging, emitting a faint glow under the lights.

"Please come in~"

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

The receptionist at the Little Bird Inn was a middle-aged woman, slightly plump, with a sallow complexion and a hint of melancholy between her brows.

Although she hid it well, Zhou Heng still keenly noticed it.

In the Infinite Expanse World, players always referred to the original inhabitants as NPCs, simply because everyone was used to playing games, and with the weight of millennia, people were too lazy to change it.

If you really treated these original inhabitants like NPCs in online games, you'd never know how you died.

"Ma'am, I'd like to book a room. How much would it cost?"

Zhou Heng said with a smile, pulling out 1,000 copper coins from his backpack and pushing them towards her.

"Ma'am, could you tell me if there's a female player from the Longevity Family staying here?"

The woman instinctively wanted to refuse Zhou Heng, as this involved the Longevity Family, but seeing the pile of copper coins pushed towards her, she hesitated for a moment, looked around to ensure no one else was around, and whispered.

"Young man, why are you asking about this?"

"Ma'am, you see, I'm quite handsome, over 180 cm tall, and I want to see if I can connect with her. After all, you know, for us common players, it's really hard to progress."

Hearing this, the woman felt Zhou Heng made sense.

Nowadays, the Sakasi Empire had severe class solidification, with all kinds of resources controlled by the Sakasi Empire and those terrifying players from the Longevity Family. It was indeed difficult for common people and players to have a breakthrough.

"Alright, you seem like a decent person, so I'll tell you."

"There is indeed a girl from the Longevity Family here, and she's extremely beautiful. She's staying in room 606 on the top floor."

A gleam flashed in Zhou Heng's eyes, and with a smile, he took out another 1,000 copper coins and pushed them over.

"Thank you, ma'am."

With that, Zhou Heng didn't even book a room and headed straight for room 606.

...

The girl sat at the head of the light blue inn bed, holding a scroll in her hands, her eyes emitting a faint blue glow.

It was a skill book of "Complex" quality, named "Myriad-Bolt Thunder." Once cast, it could summon a myriad of thunderbolts, delivering a saturated thunder strike within a 3-meter radius. Additionally, this skill had a passive effect: if ambushed or attacked, it would automatically trigger, striking the enemy with a lightning attack and briefly delaying their assault.

Once learned, this skill would provide her with a fundamental means of survival in the early stages, eliminating the fear of being ambushed.

Through the family's conversion and modification, the skill no longer required the "Complex" learning prerequisites, only time.

Myriad-Bolt Thunder only required six hours of intensive reading to learn.

However, just as she was fully engrossed in reading "Myriad-Bolt Thunder," her skill "Vigilance" activated, abruptly interrupting her reading state.

Her eyes shot out a fierce light as she stood up and scanned her surroundings.

At that moment, there was a dull thud at the door, followed by the sound of the door breaking, and Zhou Heng strode in.

"It's you!"

The girl's pupils widened in rare surprise. She had considered many possibilities but never expected this outcome.

She, a player from the prestigious Longevity Family, was actually found by a common player, and judging by the aggressive manner of the intruder, it seemed he was here to kill her.

But how did he find her so quickly and accurately?

A traitor?

Her mind raced with thoughts.

But she knew now wasn't the time to ponder these things; she had to escape.

She wasn't foolish. For someone to find her so quickly and precisely, interrupting her learning of Myriad-Bolt Thunder, she couldn't believe he didn't have the confidence to kill her instantly.

The opponent must have learned the "Ultra-Long-Range Archer" profession scroll she dropped and completed the job change.

Facing Zhou Heng, who possessed "Burning Fury," she had little chance of winning, let alone against the powerful "Ultra-Long-Range Archer" profession.

Without hesitation, the girl turned and leaped out of the window by the bed.

With a crash, the glass shattered, and she rolled onto the street outside the Little Bird Inn.

Surrounding players:???

What's going on!

Why is someone jumping out of a window?

The players were shocked, and upon closer inspection, they turned pale.

The one who jumped was a player from the Longevity Family?

What on earth happened for a Longevity Family player to jump out of a window, and in such a dramatic fashion?

Zhou Heng's face was grim. The more decisive the opponent, the more determined he was to kill her.

Such a person, once grown, would undoubtedly be a major threat to his development.

Besides, if he couldn't even handle a seemingly common player from the Longevity Family, how could he ever face the Longevity Family head-on? He might as well find a wall to crash into.

Following the girl down from the building, Zhou Heng drew his bow and aimed an arrow at her.

Ultra-Long-Range Tracking, activate!

Whoosh!

With a sound of air being cut, the arrow shot through the sky towards the girl.

She grunted, pulling out a blood-like item from her backpack and swallowing it.

In the next second, her speed skyrocketed, dashing away like lightning.

Zhou Heng's expression hardened, and without hesitation, he activated "Burning Fury," pursuing her relentlessly.

A second later, a new arrow formed, and Zhou Heng drew his bow again, shooting another arrow.

Seeing this, the girl cursed under her breath, "Damn it," and fled through Little Bird Town with all her might.

The two raced through Little Bird Town, one chasing, the other fleeing.

"My god, am I seeing things? A common player chasing a Longevity Family player to kill?"

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

"This... can't be real, right?"

"I must be crazy, definitely crazy! This kind of maneuver, unheard of, unseen!"

...

The onlookers were utterly shocked.

They had heard of ambushes and assassinations against Longevity Family players, but never of a public chase and kill in town.

This wasn't just disrespecting a single Longevity Family player; it was completely disregarding the fearsome reputation of the entire Longevity Family.

Whoosh~

Zhou Heng fired another arrow, and within a mere seven seconds, there were already seven arrows tracking the girl in the air.

Seeing the arrows closing in, a hint of anger appeared on the girl's cold face.

She never imagined that her time in the Infinite Expanse World would be so humiliating.

She had clearly obtained the family's resources, and in just five more hours, she could have easily dealt with him.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The girl couldn't escape in time and was caught by Zhou Heng's arrows. Three arrows pierced her head, skull, and chest, dealing 100, 80, and 60 damage, successfully killing her.

"You're good!!"

"I'll remember you!"

"Don't let me find out who's behind you, or... I'll make them wish for life and death!"

The girl, now a phantom, glared fiercely at the approaching Zhou Heng and shouted.

In her view, it was impossible for a common player like Zhou Heng to know her whereabouts.

Thus, there was only one truth: someone had betrayed the Longevity Family, or it was those Longevity players who were against her.

This matter wouldn't end like this.

Zhou Heng didn't respond to the girl. He crouched down and pulled the skill "Myriad-Bolt Thunder" from beneath her body.

Seeing this, the girl's expression changed. "Myriad-Bolt Thunder" had been dropped...
