Chapter 130: The Hard Road
Inside the conference room.
Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong met with the First Floor Captain. He was a long-faced man around thirty years old. Skipping the pleasantries, he addressed the two directly. "As far as I know, the Deceiver Alliance has raised the Bounty on Qiu Yinong to 1,000 points."
"This figure will attract many of the elite Three-Star Trickster-Speakers, who will use Tracking Talismans to hunt you down."
"My advice is for you to register and sign up. I will request a Lie-Slayer who has been stuck at the three-star rank to assist you."
The weight behind the phrase 'stuck at the three-star rank' was self-evident.
It meant this Player had the ability to advance to four stars at any time. The Captain's intention was glaringly obvious: he wanted to use Qiu Yinong as bait to devour seventeen Ghost Whisperers.
Logically speaking, this should have been a windfall for Chen Ran and his companion. However, if even a single one of their Skills was exposed, it would essentially guarantee their deaths...
Take the Wheel of Time, for instance. If a victim managed to walk out of the Instance alive and publicize the trigger phrase, Qiu Yinong's Skill would be rendered useless.
She would never dare to use it again. After all, she couldn't be certain if her opponent's drawing speed would be faster than hers the moment she uttered the phrase 'I lied.'
