Seeing that a batch of top professionals from the seven great nations were counter-killed by Zhang Yue during their ambush attempt, instantly, Ikawa Riyu's eyes widened to their limits.
She had expected: no matter what, these people were high-level professionals downgraded from levels 300–400 to level 175. Even if their levels were reset, their talent, experience, and awareness remained at the level of veterans who had survived in another world for decades.
They could be considered the ceiling-level existence among level 175 professionals.
Unexpectedly, such a group of top-tier professionals working together couldn't even harm Zhang Yue in the slightest.
At this moment, in the livestream rooms of those ambushers, viewers from their respective seven nations saw their professionals trying to steal the chicken but losing the rice, instantly slain by Zhang Yue, and they all fell into silence.
On the battlefield, Ikawa Riyu looked at Zhang Yue with a face full of terror.
This was the first time in history she had faced Zero head-on.
And only at this moment did she realize, how terrifying the true strength of her opponent was.
No wonder, even beings like Ghost Swordsman Elfa and Ice Mage King Kwon Ji-Hyun couldn't manage to kill Zhang Yue despite their countless efforts.
Even knowing she was doomed, Ikawa Riyu still voiced her unwillingness, "Fighting women, what kind of man are you?"
"To kill you, do I need to do it myself?", Zhang Yue looked at Ikawa Riyu with indifferent eyes and said, "You don't even deserve it."
As he finished speaking, Cherry appeared at Zhang Yue's side.
Wings flapping, holding a magic wand in her hand, her skin fair, and her legs long, like a little elf.
"Cherry is willing to relieve Master's burden."
After saying that, Cherry raised her staff and began casting spells at Ikawa Riyu.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The magic wand swung rapidly, and powerful magic skills bombarded toward Ikawa Riyu.
As a legendary-class Witch, Ikawa Riyu relied on her exquisite awareness and agile positioning to perfectly dodge Cherry's attacks.
In a flash, she rushed directly in front of Cherry.
Her eyes curved, "As expected, a pet is still a pet, compared to a man, you're easier to deal with."
Just as she finished speaking—
BOOM!
At close range, she fired a beam of magical radiance and hit Cherry.
But Cherry suddenly disappeared.
"Idiot, I'm over here!"
Ikawa Riyu's heart suddenly sank.
Just as she turned her head, she was struck by a magic orb fired from Cherry's magic wand.
-2.98 billion!
Even at full HP, this amount of damage would be instantly fatal.
Let alone the fact that Ikawa Riyu had only 1 HP left at this moment.
As her final bit of HP was depleted, Ikawa Riyu also turned into white light and disappeared on the spot.
In the livestream room, the audience was immediately ecstatic.
["Even though we knew that with God Zero's strength, killing them would be a piece of cake, watching him wipe them all out in real time is still so satisfying!"]
["Especially that Ikawa Riyu, did you all see her expression changes? From initial smugness, to terror, then sneaky joy, and finally despair! Her expressions were more exciting than the entire battle! With that speed of changing faces, what a pity she's not a circus performer!"
On the field, after killing Ikawa Riyu, a series of system prompts sounded in Zhang Yue's ears—
["Ding~ You have killed the Sun Nation participant [Mason], please choose whether to plunder their mission!"]
["Ding~ You have killed the Eastern Nation participant [Cross], please choose whether to plunder their mission!"]
["Ding~..."]
["Ding~ You have killed the Eastern Nation participant [Ikawa Riyu], please choose whether to plunder their mission!"]
More than a dozen consecutive kill-and-loot prompts appeared on Zhang Yue's interface in panel form.
Zhang Yue casually glanced over and, comparing them to the skills currently on him, chose to plunder the highest-level missions among them.
Missions found through personal exploration were mostly low-level ones, it was hard to find high-level missions.
Just like the five missions Zhang Yue currently held, four were D~B-class, with only one A-class.
Because obtaining missions had nothing to do with strength, it depended mainly on luck.
No matter how strong you were, you couldn't obtain a high-level mission by force.
But, if it was plundering missions from others, that was a different story.
Everyone had one or two higher-level missions on them, more or less.
Excluding the lower-level ones, from the mission lists of those dozen professionals he just killed, Zhang Yue chose four A-class missions to overwrite his current B, C, and D-class missions.
According to the rules of the gladiator arena, when players choose to overwrite a mission, the system retains the progress of the mission with the higher completion rate among the two (the original and the new one).
In other words: Zhang Yue's D-class mission [Kill the Firebird] (progress 15/20), when overwritten by the plundered A-class mission [Exploding Bugs] (progress 3/20), would retain the A-class mission [Exploding Bugs] (progress 15/20).
The mission progress wouldn't be affected.
Adding in the A-class mission he originally held, just by killing a group of people, he instantly gained five A-class missions.
Furthermore, during the plundering process, Zhang Yue even triggered a Lucky Plunder event.
["Ding~ Congratulations! You have plundered the A-class mission [Thunder and Lightning War God] from participant Ikawa Riyu. During the plunder, you received the blessing of the Goddess of Luck, your mission rank has been upgraded to S-class!"]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Thunder and Lightning War God] (S-Class Mission)
[Description: Please kill 20 Thunder Warriors within the Advanced Gladiator Arena (Progress: 19/20)]
[Mission Reward: Points +8]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"No wonder it's an S-class mission, 8 points."
The other four A-class missions only rewarded 5 points each.
If he completed all five missions, he could easily earn 28 points.
Zhang Yue was very satisfied with this haul.
———
Meanwhile, on the other side—
["Ding~ Because you were killed by Dragon Nation participant [Zero], you have died. Points -2. You will now be randomly resurrected at a location within the Advanced Gladiator Arena, Battlefield 96!"]
Whoosh!
White light descended, and Ikawa Riyu appeared in a forest.
["Ding~ Unfortunately, your A-class mission [Thunder and Lightning War God] has been plundered by participant Zero!"]
Hearing this prompt, Ikawa Riyu couldn't help but grow angry and collapse emotionally.
"Bastard! He actually stole my Thunder and Lightning War God mission, it was just one kill away from completion!"
Just as she finished speaking, an even more maddening voice came from her livestream room, ["I just checked Zero's stream, after stealing your mission, he even triggered a lucky event and upgraded your A-class mission to S-class."]
Ikawa Riyu's eyes welled up with tears in a rage.
In Eastern, she was at least the daughter of a prestigious family, raised in the care and affection of her family since childhood, never once having suffered such humiliation.
Being defeated and humiliated by Zhang Yue, of course, it was hard for her to accept.
"Damn it, I better not run into you again, or I'll…"
Before she could finish, a sudden message popped up in the livestream chat:
["Zero is right in front of you!"]
Startled, Ikawa Riyu instinctively turned and blinked up a tree.
Peeking out, she discovered it was just a prank from a viewer from the Thracian Nation.
As a result, Ikawa Riyu, in a fit of rage… got mad again…
