Chapter 895: 895
Regardless, as a 15 point mission, it was too good of an opportunity to miss .

Lu Li accepted the quest and moved his eyes away from Mr . A . He carefully inspected the people around him to check their reactions when Mr . A entered . Clearly, he wasn't going to be satisfied with just accomplishing this quest; his targets were the players he was competing against .
A player was forcing his way towards Mr . A and Lu Li happened to be blocking his path .
Lu Li didn't look at him, but he cursed loudly when they bumped into each other .
"Watch out – you wanna die?!"
The player didn't mind too much that a local had sworn at him . All he could see right now were the fifteen points that were floating before his eyes . He even began to apologize, without pushing away the hand that touched him .
Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of pain, and when he tried to look for the local again, he couldn't find him .
With a bitter smile on the corner of his lips, another player had been disqualified .
Mr . A became Lu Li's best helper; anyone who approached or looked at him was most likely a potential target that he didn't have to worry about killing by mistake . Within the span of a few short minutes, Lu Li had killed another seven people and his score had reached a total of 32 .
The body guards protected Mr . A as he entered the area . They chose a table for him to settle and soon, some pretty girls approached to accompany him .
Lu Li remained near him within a one-hundred-yard radius, but he never actually got close, even if he had a few chances to brush past his target .

He wouldn't do something like that . Firstly, he wanted to keep hunting for points . Secondly, he knew that he would have a red name status for at least five minutes after he killed his target . He definitely wouldn't be able to make it out of this crowded place with a red name on him .
As such, he continued to kill players while he searched for other possible escapes once he completed his quest .
Finally, a player successfully approached Mr . A . He pretended as if nothing was going on and seemed as if he just needed to have a talk with him .
The bodyguards of Mr . A had begun pay attention to this player as soon as he approached .
Lu Li shook his head in the dark and his heart was filled with pity, because this player overestimated himself .
Clearly, Mr . A was someone of status . From all the tattoos on his body, he was most likely a high-ranking gang member .
How would a normal person act when they ran into a gang boss?
Humble, nervous, anxious, perhaps with a bit of anticipation – why else would a normal person approach someone like this?
Just when the player thought that he had earned himself some temporary trust, two bodyguards suddenly held him from left and right . Another stronger bodyguard walked over and punched him in the chest .
Sssss!

Even Lu Li couldn't help but take a deep breath . Although this was a game, the scene in front of him was still a little rough to take in .
This poor player had begun to vomit blood by the second punch, and had most likely lost his senses by the last few .
His corpse was tossed to the side, but all the locals gave no reaction to this scene . They continued to express their passion and kindness in this rowdy and dirty environment, as if they had seen nothing at all .
The other two players who were about to approach halted themselves and began to re-think their approach .
Lu Li didn't have this kind of issue to worry about, because these two players had become his next targets .
However, he was still cautious . Even if all the players had their attention on Mr . A, he could still expose himself if he made things too obvious .
After he took down the two players, Lu Li's total score had reached 50 .
He had earned himself almost 40 points in such a short span of time, more than double the reward for assassinating Mr . A himself .
These players were all focused on Mr . A; they had lost sight of everything else .
Lu Li continued his hunt in this night club as time slipped by . In the end, he still couldn't find a way to escape with a red name on his head .

He checked the time and wiped the bloodstains on his knife, then packed it away and found some clothes on a couch to change his bloodstained shirt . After this, he walked out of the night club .
There was no punishment for not completing the quest, so it wasn't worth it for him to take the risk .
Lu Li stood on the road to have a smoke after he left, just to confirm that Mr . A wouldn't be coming out anytime soon .
There were some slight differences between the game world and reality . Assassination attempts had been made consecutively and one of his bodyguards had even been killed, but Mr . A was still enjoying his time in the nightclub .
Lu Li complained silently while he called for a taxi .
In the next few hours, he wandered around in the city, visiting various bars and nightclubs .
He also took up multiple quests that were similar to Mr . A's quest . Lu Li managed to complete one of these because everyone around his assassination target ended up dead and there was an escape route available . None of the other quests were completed .
For Lu Li, his first priority was his safety, then the points .
From the entire night's efforts, he had amassed a total of 360 points .
If he remembered correctly, the champion of this game during the first season had won with around 200 points . It wasn't that 300+ points had never been achieved, but those who had exceeded this total couldn't resist the temptations in the end and failed in the last step .
The later the game, the more dangerous it became . It was as if the System was trying to trip up the players .
Three gangsters found Lu Li's hideout .
These were all locals, but they wouldn't go gentle on Lu Li just because he seemed like one of them . As for the reason why they were fighting, they were looking for people to rob .
Lu Li didn't bother with begging for mercy . His fist struck out even before these gangsters had finished their sentences .
He was even better at fighting than playing his Thief class .
He had only played as a Thief for 3 months, but he had fought for dozens of years against all sorts of different opponents .
Soon, these three gangsters dropped to the floor and Lu Li pulled out his knife . He cruelly broke their arms and legs, filled their mouths and tossed them into the bins nearby .
If they didn't die, Lu Li wouldn't have a red name and could continue to hide in this alleyway until the game time was up .
