Chapter 1, The World After Death

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Alright, alright, I understand

A roar echoes, halting the clouds in their path.

Stubborn!

Go ahead and poke, what is there to be afraid of

A series of hurried breaths and chaotic footsteps sounded

Oh my goodness! I am wronged! I swear to heaven, I only pulled her hand a little when she was about to leave, I didn't even hold it long enough to warm it up, and then the King of Hell came.

At this moment, the sound of rustling leaves underfoot nearby caught Qin Zheng's attention, and she perked up her ears, hearing the conversation of two people.

Qin Zheng did not blink her eyes; she had gradually become accustomed to the wild beasts that roamed this place and would no longer be caught off guard. After evading the swipe of this fierce tiger, she circled to its side and began to stab and carve with her dagger.

Oh no—" a scream arose, and the man blocking the way was immediately kicked, his face turning a bright shade of red.

Stop? Only a fool would stop! Qin Zheng did not look back and ran even faster. However, she felt extremely frustrated; it was one thing to be hunted and pursued by the authorities while alive, but to be hunted and pursued even after death was unexpected. How long would this life of fleeing continue before it finally came to an end

People enjoy themselves, who are you to control that? Games, like books, have different ways to play for everyone. Last time, I even met a player who focused solely on life skills without training their overall ability.

Huff, I'm so tired! Qin Zheng was actually exhausted to the point of near collapse, but in order to save her life, she had to hold on no matter what. At this moment, having escaped from danger, she plunged into the woods, leaned against a large tree, and sat down, gasping for breath.

I knew you would act out of line again; otherwise, who would come to kill you for no reason? You have nothing of value to offer.

Hey, what does that mean? I just love PK, it's so exhilarating!" The old man waved the broad knife in his hand

Forget it, it's incomprehensible. After being dead for so many days and encountering countless things in this "underworld" that cannot be explained by common sense, Qin Zheng has learned to take everything in stride. She extinguished the fire pit, tore off a piece of roasted tiger meat, and began to eat it listlessly.

"It is surprising that someone actually roasts tiger meat," said the man who had been killed by Qin Zheng once, "I roasted it once before, and the food made by those who have not learned culinary skills here is simply extraordinarily unpalatable; I almost vomited."

The tiger was not very fierce, somewhat resembling one made of paper. Although it came on strong, it was killed by Qin Zheng in just a few moves before it could harm her. She then quickly skinned the tiger and cut off a piece of leg meat.

Come on! You can't just touch her little hand and call it a PK! Feudal thinking is harmful! I see that girl is too engrossed in the game; although it has an ancient background, we players don't need to be so conservative.

Call, call—teng teng teng—

"You seek death!" Qin Zheng lightly scolded, her figure slightly lifted as she leaped onto the tip of the man's sword. Before he could regain his senses, her right foot had already kicked towards his face.

Qin Zheng did not pause for a moment, using a slight push from the tip of her sword to propel herself into a somersault, leaping over the man's head. As she landed, she did not look back and continued to sprint forward. The pursuing officials behind her, unable to halt in time, collided with the lamenting man, causing them to tumble over, each falling to the ground and struggling to get up. They could only watch helplessly as Qin Zheng turned a corner at the end of the road and vanished from sight.

"Don't mention it. I originally wanted to change places to level up today, but just now on the way, I saw a pretty girl and a *picture* book. I approached her and said just a couple of words, and then I was stabbed to death. Damn, the attack was too quick and ruthless, straight to the heart; I didn't even have time to dodge. " One voice was filled with immense frustration, "Dying once costs 10% of my overall strength. If I don't come back to continue hunting tigers, what else can I do?" Damn, the attack was too quick and ruthless, straight to the heart; I didn't even have time to dodge. " One voice was filled with immense frustration, "Dying once costs 10% of my overall strength.

Quickly stop her, don't let her escape

Hehe, only exchanged a couple of sentences? I doubt that! It must be that you were getting a bit too familiar.

However, before she could catch her breath, she felt a cool breeze coming from behind her head. Instantly, she darted diagonally forward, drawing a rusty dagger from her waist with her right hand and thrusting it backward.

As she watched them about to leave her line of sight, Qin Zheng hesitated. She was very interested in the content of the conversation between the two, and although she couldn't understand it very well, she instinctively felt that she could glean a lot of useful information from their words

The voices of the conversation grew closer, and Qin Zheng furrowed her brows. Although there were many parts of their dialogue that she could not understand or grasp, she had already discerned that one of the voices belonged to the man she had killed earlier. She was not afraid, merely surprised. How could this be? Seeing a ghost in broad daylight? Oh, wait, she was a ghost now too, so seeing a ghost in the daytime was not so shocking. Could it be that one could be resurrected in the "Underworld"? Or had she not actually killed him at all? Oh, wait, she was a ghost now too, so seeing a ghost in the daytime was not so shocking. Could it be that one could be resurrected in the "Underworld"? Or had she not actually killed him at all? Perhaps ghosts simply cannot die again.

Old friend, you have been in the game for many days now, why are you still here to hunt the tiger

At that moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the side, standing directly in the path of Qin Zheng's advance. The leader of the exhausted officials and soldiers immediately became excited, shouting, "Quick, capture this criminal! There will be heavy rewards!"

Feeling a bit hungry, she picked up some dry twigs nearby and took out a fire starter from her waist to roast the meat. She did not dare to venture too far, as the entire forest was filled with the roars of tigers

Strange, how did the officials know that she had killed someone on the road? She had witnessed the person drop a few coins after dying, yet the body mysteriously vanished before her eyes, more thoroughly than any attempt to destroy evidence.

Under the lure of great rewards, there will surely be brave men. Moreover, this man who charged forward was originally intent on taking advantage of the situation to rob Qin Zheng. He brandished his long sword to block Qin Zheng's path.

I suggest you pay more attention next time. Your habit of wanting to approach beautiful women as soon as you see them is truly not commendable

Stop! Don't run!" A person is shouting

Ah, it seems like someone was here just now; I could smell the aroma of barbecued meat. A man with a sharp face nudged the still warm remnants of the fire pit with his toes.

I see you must have been PKed by someone. The sharp-faced man teased him, saying, "So, do you still want to try the feeling of being stabbed in the heart?"

The sound grew closer. Qin Zheng looked around and saw that there seemed to be nowhere to hide. Therefore, she pressed her body tightly against the trunk of the tree and swiftly climbed up, using the cover of the leaves to look down from a higher vantage point.

This is precisely the edge of the forest; the further one goes in, the more tigers there are. As the two chatted, they took out their respective weapons. Along the way, they encountered and dispatched one beast after another, continuing their journey deeper into the woods without pause.

The fire blazed up, and gradually the aroma of meat began to waft through the air. Qin Zheng gently sniffed a couple of times but found no strong appetite—without salt and seasoning, eating this charred and bland beast meat every day had long become tiresome. Today, passing by a city, she wanted to go in and take a look, but as soon as she approached the city gate, she was chased away in a flurry by a group of people dressed in official military uniforms.
