The pain was bearable, but the feeling of death was truly unbearable, too real, like drowning.

After recovering from the sensation of death, Li Wu immediately covered his face, set his name to hidden, and hurried to the shop to buy a mask to wear.

Junlin Tianxia was clearly not someone to mess with. Li Wu wasn't afraid of being wanted across the server, but revealing his real face posed some risks. He didn't want the game to bring danger to reality or to Tuantuan.

After putting on the mask, Li Wu opened the chat channel.

Invincible Cute Tuan: "Fighting the boss is all about skill. Can't you handle it?"

Junlin Tianxia: "I've got money, so what if I hunt you down!"

Immortal Caressing My Butt: "Isn't 10 silver a bit low? It's not even worth the effort."

Chen Li: "Exactly, and it offends people. Someone who can solo the Electric Zombie King isn't to be trifled with. 100 bucks isn't worth it!"

Long Knight: "The price is indeed low. Killing someone results in a red name."

Long: "None of your business, watch my lips..."

Village-wide Top Message:

Junlin Tianxia: "Server-wide hunt for Invincible Cute Tuan, 1 gold per kill, no upper limit!"

Li Wu saw Junlin Tianxia's loudspeaker message and his eyes turned green. He quickly sent a message in the area chat.

Invincible Cute Tuan: "Can I take this job? I'll give you a 20% discount."

Bai Dabao: "I'm eating dirt lately, I want in too. Is there really no upper limit?"

"I'll take it!"

"Count me in!"

"Invincible Cute Tuan, report your location, I'll split the money with you!"

Junlin Tianxia looked at the enthusiastic messages in the chat channel and suddenly felt like he had done something foolish.

Sure enough, before he could reply in the chat channel, Invincible Cute Tuan nearly shattered his wallet.

Invincible Cute Tuan: "Looking for cooperative players, 60 silver per kill, pay first, kill later, sign an electronic contract. Join the party if interested, we'll start when we have 20, battle till dawn!"

Immortal Caressing My Butt: "This seems reliable, just afraid Junlin Tianxia will renege."

Bai Dabao: "Don't look for others, I'll partner with you. I just took a screenshot of his loudspeaker message. People need face, trees need bark. I'll spend 500 bucks to pin it on the forum, let's see if he values face or bark."

Junlin Tianxia's face turned truly green, suddenly realizing that Blue Star Online was different from other games.

The real pain sensation made things that were commonplace in other games complicated.

Killing someone and getting a red name wasn't a big deal in other games, but in Blue Star Online, it was a severe punishment.

Offering too little money, no one would do it; offering too much might let Invincible Cute Tuan exploit it.

Especially with Bai Dabao stirring things up!

Junlin Tianxia had money but not to the extent of throwing it away. Funding the enemy would make him a fool!

Li Wu was indeed gathering people, not just making threats like others thought.

600 bucks per death, why bother fighting for a boss?

Moreover, there was a loophole with the pain sensation; controlling the damage below 10% was still bearable.

As for the feeling of death, for Baby Tuan's medicine, what harm in dying ten thousand times?

Just like an online joke: no one might bow for 100 bucks, but if there's no upper limit, I could bow until Old Zhong goes bankrupt!

While Li Wu was enjoying the thought of a beautiful life, someone said something in the area chat.

Little Fairy: "Junlin's house lost power."

Bai Dabao: "Junlin's not to be underestimated!"

The server-wide hunt ended because Junlin Tianxia's house "lost power."

Li Wu regretfully disbanded the party, feeling a bit of admiration for Junlin Tianxia's ability to take and let go.

A true villain is the most terrifying; this mask shouldn't be taken off lightly.

Seeing the constant friend requests, Li Wu set it to auto-reject.

Many people were interested in doing business with Junlin Tianxia.

"Tuan Bro, I'm online. What are all these messages you sent me?"

Spicy Rabbit came online and found that Li Wu had sent her many messages, all strings of numbers, and quickly messaged Li Wu.

"Not important, just the coordinates from when I fought the Electric Zombie King."

"Tuan Bro, did you kill the Electric Zombie King again?"

"Yeah."

"Wow! Tuan Bro, you're amazing!"

"Stop with the flattery, let's go farm the Giant Turtle."

"Okay, got it."

Li Wu stocked up on some bread and took Spicy Rabbit to farm the Giant Turtle.

The Silver Wolf King spawned around 1 PM, so the next spawn should be after 1 AM. There was still some time.

After farming turtles for over an hour, Li Wu saw that it was almost time and prepared to take Spicy Rabbit to join the fun, but the young girl refused.

Spicy Rabbit knew she was a burden now, with forced 2 damage being useless. She had already seen the Silver Wolf King and decided to go back to farm the Giant Rabbit instead.

Li Wu didn't insist and went to the Fierce Sheep Grassland with his name hidden behind a mask.

Following the same process as at noon, after someone reported the Silver Wolf King's coordinates, players gathered from all directions.

Li Wu followed the crowd to a clearing outside the level 3 monster area, Spider Forest. He didn't see a single spider, not even a chance to use True Sight.

People were still forming gold parties and recruiting fighters, but no one dared to start the fight.

After three rounds with the Silver Wolf King, the solo players got smarter; no one wanted to be cannon fodder.

"Tuan Bro, someone asked if the Thunder Shield in the auction house is yours."

Spicy Rabbit's sudden message puzzled Li Wu. He replied, "It's mine, but why would someone ask you?"

"It was one of the guys who escorted me back at noon. We added each other as friends, and I might have mentioned you while chatting. He said your friend requests are off, and their leader wants to contact you."

Seeing Spicy Rabbit's reply, Li Wu's expression turned serious.

The term "leader" isn't used lightly. Could it be that Hao Jianjun is military?

Thinking about the disciplined style of that hundred-man team, it seemed possible.

Damn, is Blue Star Online toxic, even attracting national defense soldiers? Are the national leaders really at ease?

The hundred-man team was quite conspicuous, and Li Wu quickly spotted them by standing on tiptoe.

Seeing the auction house bid reach 102 gold with a few minutes left, Li Wu hesitated for a moment before heading towards the hundred-man team.

Li Wu had a special sentiment for soldiers defending the country.

If nothing had happened at home, he would have joined the Chinese People's Army as a college student like his roommates. Unfortunately, life doesn't always go as planned.

As Li Wu approached, the hundred-man team didn't seem to change, but Li Wu suddenly felt like prey being watched by a predator, as if a deadly strike was imminent.
