Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 98 Phantom Assassin

 The last day of Yanyue.

Ji Xinghuo came back from outside the city early in the morning. When he arrived at the bounty hall, he found that the place was much busier than usual. There were hundreds of bounty hunters who stayed to watch the excitement after receiving their bonuses.

 “Ji Xinghuo is here!”

Before he stepped into the hall, Ji Xinghuo heard someone calling his name inside.

The bounty hunters who were queuing up saw him and made way for him so that he could go directly to the counter to collect the bounty.

“Bounty 3.04 million, points 127.”

 The staff quickly counted the loot Ji Xinghuo handed over and handed the cash to him.

Even though the bounty hunters were already aware of Ji Xinghuo’s strength, they still sighed when they saw that he had earned so much money and points.

The staff at the reward office immediately refreshed the scoreboard, and Ji Xinghuo still ranked first, with a total of 1,618 points this month!

 “That’s outrageous…”

 The bounty hunters shook their heads.

 The second-place Jingji and the third-place Red Devil Alex both have just exceeded one thousand points. Although they have not come to hand in the spoils today, there is almost no suspense.

“What was the previous highest score in a single month?” a bounty hunter asked.

 “It seems to be more than four thousand points!”

 A senior bounty hunter answered with an uncertain tone, "I remember the record was set more than 20 years ago, and it has not been broken until now."

“It was 21 years ago, 4150 points.”

Another person said: "The record set by 'Thousand Fantasy Swordsman' Li Xuan. At that time, he was a super alien and had just advanced to the 'Invisible Swordsman'. He came to the center point fortress to hunt enemies and practice actual combat. In a whole hot season, nine stars Jieyue has accumulated more than 18,000 points."

“I also remembered that 4150 points is not only the record for the Midpoint Fortress, but also the highest single-month score record for all the fortresses on the Star Boundary Defense Line.” Someone immediately agreed.

  Ji Xinghuo knew this record for the first time.

However, his reputation as the Qianhuan Swordsman is like thunder.

Three years ago, Li Xuan was promoted to Heavenly King and became famous all over the world, becoming the thirteenth Heavenly King of the Asia-Pacific Community.

This Thousand Fantasy Swordsman also has a record, that is, he is the youngest among the 49 kings in the world. He is less than fifty years old and ranks 45th on the list of kings.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t want to break any records.

The other bounty hunters were very enthusiastic. Someone said to him: "Brother Ji, you are not bad either. And you have only been in Zhongdian Fortress for half a month. If you work hard, you might be able to break the record of Qian Huan Swordsman, so you can Totally famous.”

"yes!"

“More than 1,600 points in half a month, 3,200 points in one month, not far from the record.”

 Everyone was talking in a hurry.

"Li Xuan is the King of Heaven, how can the record be so easy to break?" Suddenly someone said, "If this record can be broken, doesn't it mean that Ji Xinghuo can also be promoted to the King of Heaven in the future? Do you believe it?"

 The bounty hall suddenly became quiet, and the bounty hunters looked at each other.

 They didn’t think about it at first.

If Ji Xinghuo really breaks the record, doesn't it mean that Ji Xinghuo is stronger than Li Xuan back then, and he is so young, he can be promoted to the King of Heaven in the future?

That is the King of Heaven!

 Human beings have entered the star realm for nearly two centuries. Including those who have died, the total number of heavenly kings born is less than seventy.

If Ji Xinghuo is promoted to legend, it is very possible.

But the King of Heaven…

The bounty hunters present found it difficult.

Li Xuan was able to be promoted to the King of Heaven not only because of the hunting records he set on the astral defense line, but also because of his series of achievements and achievements, showing his unique talent. The so-called points record in a single month is just a not-so-important deed in Li Xuan's legendary life.

"The King of Heaven is out of reach and is not something I can consider right now." Ji Xinghuo looked relaxed and said with a smile, "As for records, it is not my pursuit."

 The atmosphere in the hall returned to cheerfulness.

 “You are still young, you can try it.”

"that is."

 Ji Xinghuo shook his head repeatedly.

At this time, a bounty hunter walked in at the door of the bounty hall. Someone immediately recognized him and shouted: "The thorn halberd is coming."

Ji Xinghuo also turned around to look. He had heard about the Thorn Halberd coming to Zhongdian Fortress for a long time, but he had never seen it.

 Hand Halberd has a typical shadow blade appearance.

He is about thirty years old, with an ordinary face, black hair cut into a neat hairstyle, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a well-fitting dark leather armor, and two weapons, long and short, on his waist, one is a dagger and the other It was a sheathed scimitar, and there was a repeating crossbow on the back. His steps were light and swift, and he made no sound as he moved.

Ji Xinghuo had long heard from others that Jingji was a super alien.

Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.

Furthermore, Jing Ji is not an ordinary shadow blade. He has integrated far more abilities than ordinary aliens. He has advanced to the professional template in advance and has mastered some of the abilities of the Phantom Sound Master.

 Shadow Blade plus Phantom Sound Master are the very famous "Phantom Assassin" among the advanced professions.

 Come without a trace, go without a trace.

 The Phantom Assassin is the most feared assassin.

Ji Xinghuo judged through the ether energy fluctuations that the equipment of the Thorn Halberd was extraordinary, and each piece was a super weapon.

Even the leather armor on his body is super equipment.

In addition to weapons and armor, Jing Ji wore two rings on his hands, and the boots on his feet also emitted ether fluctuations that were invisible to the naked eye.

 “Rich man!”

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this luxurious equipment alone might be worth hundreds of millions.

However, Thorn Halberd has been hunting enemies in the Midpoint Fortress for several years, and most of the time it ranks first in points. The bounty income alone may be 200-300 million. It is not surprising that he can afford this equipment.

Jingji had a smile on his face and greeted the familiar bounty hunter as he walked.

 It can be seen that his interpersonal relationships are good.

Jing Ji came to the counter and handed over today's loot. He quickly completed the settlement. The bounty and points were much higher than his usual, similar to Ji Xinghuo's today. The staff updated the score board information. Jingji’s points exceeded 1,200 points and she was still ranked second.

 He looked at the rankings and shook his head.

At this time, someone next to him whispered a reminder, and Jingji turned to look at Ji Xinghuo, took a quick look, and said in surprise: "Are you Ji Xinghuo? You have been famous for a long time."

 He approached with a smile on his face and reached out his hand.

"It's me." Ji Xinghuo shook his hand and let go, nodding: "I heard about Jingji's name when I first came to Zhongdian Fortress. I have admired it for a long time."

"Hahaha, they are all false names." Jing Ji said with a cheerful face, not caring at all: "You are the one who has the most limelight in Zhongpoint Fortress now. Alex and I were overpowered by you. It's like the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. , I am already a front-runner.”

“Brother Jing is too humble, I just took advantage of my career.”

Ji Xinghuo did not dare to underestimate this phantom assassin at all. The fact that Thorn Halberd was able to hunt for several years at Zhongpoint Fortress without any harm showed his strength.

 The reason why the trophies of the Thorn Halberd are not as good as mine is because of the differences in professions.

Phantom Assassin is good at assassinations, rather than front-on combat. He can only kill two or three enemies at a time before getting away; but he is a shooter, relying on his absolute range advantage to wipe out an entire patrol in one go.

 Different fighting methods determine the efficiency of hunting.

 When two people fight, it’s hard to say who wins and who loses.

Jing Ji glanced at the dragon falcon and eagle bow behind Ji Xinghuo, shook his head and said, "Being able to hunt down so many enemies is your ability. You don't have to be too modest."

 Ji Xinghuo did not apologize any more.

“Alex will be here in a moment. After settling the points for the last month and getting the rewards, I’ll buy you a drink.” Jing Ji sent out an invitation.

Ji Xinghuo readily agreed, "Okay."

Not long after, the Red Devil Alex also arrived. Just as agreed in advance, he was only a few minutes away from the Thorns.

Alex still had an indifferent expression as he handed in the loot and received the reward.

 Then his eyes swept over Jing Ji.

 He noticed Ji Xinghuo next to the thorn halberd, his eyes stayed for a few seconds, and asked in fluent Asian Communist dialect: "Ji Xinghuo?"

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

 After Alex was confirmed, he said nothing.

The staff of the bounty hall updated the scoreboard again, and after counting Alex’s points, he surpassed Jingji by three points and rose to second place this month.

However, it is still more than 400 points behind Ji Xinghuo.

Jing Ji raised his eyebrows, not satisfied with the result.

The bet between the two is to compare the points accumulated throughout the whole hot season. There is only one month left. Currently, he is only ahead by more than 200 points, which is a bit dangerous.

If you lose to Alex, you must not only admit defeat publicly, but also withdraw from the midpoint fortress.

 As long as Alex is here, he cannot come back.

It's okay to leave the Midpoint Fortress. There are dozens of fortresses on the Star Boundary Defense Line, and the Fomalhaut clan can be hunted anywhere.

 But it would be too embarrassing to lose the bet.

 One of them is from the Asian Communist Party and the other is from the American League. The outside world has raised the significance of this bet to the national level, which has exceeded personal glory.

“You three, please follow me.”

 Staff from the reward office came over and asked Ji Xinghuo and the others to enter a reception room.

A man in military uniform was already waiting. He introduced himself as the director of the Bounty Office of Midpoint Fortress. Both Thorns and Alex were familiar with him and had met him many times.

“This is this month’s reward list, please take a look at it.”

Jing Ji took the list and asked, "Director Li, won't General Wang see us?"

 The top three in hero points each month will receive additional rewards and have the opportunity to be interviewed by the fortress commander, but this interview is not fixed. Generally, meeting the fortress commander means that you can get better discounts on weapons and equipment.

“General Wang has been busy with official duties recently and can’t get away.”

Director Li said seriously: "The general asked me to tell the three of you that we will invite you when the points are settled next month, and a few precious pieces of equipment will be added to the list."

Jing Ji’s eyes lit up, he nodded and said, “Okay.”

Ji Xinghuo listened to the conversation between the two and browsed the list in his hand, which listed the additional rewards for the first place this month.

 The first is five million in cash;

 Then a third-class Hero Medal. With this medal, you can get preferential treatment in most countries on the earth. If you are a citizen of the Asia-Pacific Community, you can receive a monthly subsidy of 15,000 Asian dollars, which will be directly credited to the card and will be paid until your death.

 Citizen assistance funds have been increased five times!

Ji Xinghuo saw this treatment, and if he didn't pursue it, he could just live and die and lie down for the rest of his life with this subsidy.

 It's a pity that he doesn't like the money now.

When hunting enemies, a silent arrow costs 15,000 Asian dollars. Sometimes five or six silent arrows are shot in a battle.

 Each person can only obtain the Level 3 Hero Medal once, the support will not increase cumulatively, and there is no limit to the number of cash rewards.

 At the end of the list is a list of weapons and equipment, with dozens of items in total.

These weapons and equipment are produced by the military's armament research units and rarely leak to the outside world. Their quality is higher than that of many companies' products.

Ji Xinghuo is the first in points this month and can purchase a piece of equipment from the list at a 20% discount.

Swords, spears, daggers, armor and protective gear, bows, arrows and javelins are all available.

 There are also jewelry rings and necklaces.

Most of these weapons and equipment are super one-star, with prices ranging from 3 million to 10 million. There are also two or three super two-star ones, but they are not suitable for me.

Ji Xinghuo read the information carefully, raised his head and said to Director Li, "I want to buy this."
