NOVEL WEB Chapter 226: The Pain Men Can't Understand
"Putting a bounty on me? Heh, do you even know who that guy really is?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"That guy is the third heir to the Morgan Consortium, after his old man and his twin brother, just a rich and powerful scion who's a mess," Cheng Youlin explained.
"The Morgan Consortium, sounds familiar, seems like a big consortium."
"Wayde teamed up with over seven hundred Contractors to ambush me..."
"Fortunately, my equipment was powerful, and in the end, I killed them all."
"As for that guy, I just let him experience a type of pain men can't understand," Mu Rufeng said slowly.
"A pain men can't understand?" Cheng Youlin immediately looked puzzled.
"What kind of pain? Men can't understand it? Period pains? Pregnancy? Or maybe..."
"You guess," Mu Rufeng said with a smile, remaining silent.
"I'll keep watching, I'll go get some work done," Mu Rufeng patted Cheng Youlin on the shoulder and then left the office.
"What exactly is the pain?" Cheng Youlin's face was full of confusion.
Giving up on figuring it out, Cheng Youlin opened XunTeng Video again and continued watching the TV series, his face breaking into a silly, gratified smile once more.
...
Mu Rufeng went downstairs and drove away from the Wan City District branch.
On the road, Mu Rufeng was contemplating something.
Previously, when he was settling rewards, there seemed to be no notification about any leftover cheats.
It definitely couldn't be absent, so, there was only one possibility, it was overlooked, or it had already been notified while he was asleep so he didn't notice.
"Can the cheat leftover notify me again?" Mu Rufeng didn't feel any change, so he could only try calling out.
[Host has cleared the instance, uninstallation of the cheat is complete, congratulations to the host on acquiring cheat leftover attribute: Hundred Times Drop Rate]
[Hundred Times Drop Rate]: Coupled with [Chosen One], the items dropped when killing an enemy will have a hundredfold increase in drop rate.
[Detected that the host has killed several monsters within the instance, a total of 598 qualifying monsters, gained strength+19.5, Spirit+23.3, stamina+17, Ghost Power+59.8%]
"Eh? Hm?" Mu Rufeng didn't expect it but it indeed appeared.
What surprised Mu Rufeng the most was that the [get stronger by killing monsters] was also triggered.
He thought it wouldn't trigger inside the instance.
Now it seems, maybe the [Wilderness Pioneer] Rule Rank was too high, it could only secretly operate and became evident again after leaving the instance.
"However, it's a pity that only King-level Bosses count, it would have been nice if the Commander level Bosses were also included," Mu Rufeng said with slight regret.
...
Half an hour later, Mu Rufeng drove a van to an old resettlement neighborhood.
This area was still part of Wan City District.
Following Cheng Youlin's directions, Mu Rufeng found Building 3, Unit 1, and then slowly walked upstairs.
Before long, Mu Rufeng stood in front of Room 602 on the sixth floor.
Mu Rufeng sniffed, his brows slightly furrowed.
He smelled a faint stench, and also sensed a weak trace of ghost qi.
But the ghost qi quickly disappeared.
Mu Rufeng immediately moved forward, used Ghost Power, easily picked the lock, and pushed the door to enter.
The room wasn't large; entering it, there was a small living room of around ten square meters, furnished with an old sofa, a TV stand without a TV, and a dining table covered with grease.
Mu Rufeng crossed the living room, came to the main bedroom to check it, but found nothing unusual inside.
He then took a few more steps to the door of the second bedroom, took a look, then pushed open the door of the bathroom directly opposite.
The faint stench suddenly became much more intense.
The bathroom was also quite small, fully visible at a glance, yet in the corner of the bathroom, a human head was sitting there.
The top of the head was cleaved open, appearing as though the brains inside had been consumed.
Mu Rufeng glanced at the skull and slowly spoke: "No need to hide anymore. Are you coming out on your own, or should I do it myself?"
Silence, there was complete silence in the bathroom.
"Three!"
Before Mu Rufeng could count to two, a shadow suddenly burst out of the bathroom window and headed to the kitchen.
Well, this resettlement house had an odd layout, the bathroom door on one side, and the window on the right side which led to the kitchen.
The shadow moved swiftly towards the kitchen window.
However, Mu Rufeng wasn't about to let him escape.
Somehow, a banana peel appeared on the stovetop.
The shadow directly fell from above, stepping on the banana peel.
"Ah~!" A scream rang out.
The shadow landed on its back, making a dull thud.
Due to this fall, the dark aura around the shadow dispersed, revealing a greasy middle-aged man with a full face of stubble.
The man was wearing a white tank top featuring anime girls, flowered boxer shorts on his lower half, and a pair of worn flip-flops on his feet.
After the man fell to the ground, he slapped the floor with both hands, quickly sprang up, and made for the window again, while flinging a handful of black powder.
The black powder reacted rapidly upon meeting the air, releasing a large amount of black smoke.
In the blink of an eye, the entire kitchen was enveloped in black smoke.
"Such frivolity."
Mu Rufeng flicked his finger and an old sandbag accurately hit the man who was leaping towards the window.
"Ah!" The man's body was immediately immobilized, and then he heavily fell onto the stove top.
