Chapter 169: 7.7

They reached Faran City at noon. The city gate was guarded by NPCs. They would ask for Ids before they entered inside. 

Yunyu and XuanLake showed their game id and passed the NPC easily. XuanLake added this to his clues, 'Cutiepie69 is able to pass the NPC guards. That means he is a real player. But all his spells are unique, and even his passive skill is unique.'

'This person is not a regular player. He must have a deep secret.'

Yunyu looked around Faran City excitedly. When they arrived at the city market, Yunyu looked around. He wanted to buy some cute magical trinkets. XuanLake watched Yunyu's movement, and he started brewing possibilities again.

'He must be thinking about buying some dangerous magical tool to strengthen himself…' XuanLake peered suspiciously at Yunyu. 

Unable to contain his curiosity, XuanLake planned to see what would Yunyu do next. He said, "I need to find my friend in this city, you should wait here, or we will just meet at the city fountain an hour from now." 

Yunyu agreed, and he watched XuanLake disappeared in front of him. 

[Man, this virtual reality is very detailed in everything. It's so immersive!] 

Yunyu walked around the market until he stumbled upon a woman with auburn hair used a hooded cape went inside a dark alleyway. Behind her, four men that looked a lot stronger than her were following from behind. 

They had a lecherous grin on their faces, obviously wanting to vent a bit with this poor, unguarded woman. 

[That girl is in danger! I will save him!]

Yunyu followed these people to the dark alleyway. The girl on the lead kept on walking until she stumbled upon a dead end. Her gaze stilled when she found there were four men following her since the very beginning. 

"Hey, beautiful miss, I wonder if you are free right now? We want to play a bit."

"Just a bit… we will take turns, don't worry."

The woman grinned at the sight of these four disgusting players. Her vigilante work was to catch sexual predators in this game and gave them the worst pain possible. But before she could unsheathe her sword, a loud voice was heard behind those men. 

"Get your hands off her, you scumbags!" Yunyu yelled loudly. 

"Wha—" they turned their heads towards Yunyu immediately. They saw a scrawny kid yelled at them with his high-pitched voice.

"Pfftt--- AHAHAHAA!"

[Pupa: Pfftt, ahahaha!]

[Wait, why are you also laughing?!]

"You scrawny kid, what are you going to do? Kill us with your cute power?" one crook said.

"Get lost! I don't want to waste my energy to kill a weak player here!" 

The girl watched this scrawny kid standing proudly against four level 50 players. It was a commendable act to protect the weak. But she was not a vulnerable girl. It was all just a deliberate trap to kill these four crooks and stripped them of their valuable gears. 

"Kid, no offense, but… I think you should leave now. It is not a good place to mess around," she suggested. 

"PUAHAHAHA! Even that girl wants you to leave!"

[Pupa: PUAHAHAHA!]

[Oh, shut up already!]

Yunyu gritted his teeth. He was just trying to be a hero and save this girl. But because of his appearance, they actually laughed at him. He took out a gold-colored tiara he bought from the Faran Market after a long bargain. 

"Then it is your fault for underestimating me!" Yunyu held the discount tiara, and it magically hovered over his palm. Slowly, it started collecting light particles in the air. Yunyu stretched out his palm and chanted, "I shall punish you with the power of moon! Begone evil spirits!"

"Moon tiara… action!" 

Yunyu threw the discount tiara towards the crooks. The crooks were laughing even harder because it looked ridiculous.

"Alright, alright. Since I'm the tank here, then I should stop his weak attack with my body," one crook said as he continued giggling. The tiara continued gaining velocity, and the man stood there, waiting for the attack. 

SLASH!

"… huh?" The tank that was supposed to have the highest health points among them suddenly got sliced in half. Everyone watched in shock as his HP dropped into 0 instantly and died, dropping all his gears on the ground. 

Everyone, including the girl, was shocked by this. The tank was incredibly resilient. It was impossible to one-shot with one attack except if it was an instant kill effect. 

"I—Impossible! Cheng has Anti one-shot passive! He cannot be killed with one attack!" one crook said. 

[Eh, really?]

[Pupa: Your cute power passive basically nullifies all low-level passive. There is no way they could live with your Sailor Moon attack.]

The crooks gulped. They became guarded immediately as they took out their weapons, "T—That must be his ultimate skill! He must have exhausted all his energy! Don't be afraid, guys, let's kill him!" 

They charged together at Yunyu to avenge their dead ally. 

Yunyu hurriedly took three more discount tiaras from his bag, "Don't underestimate my haggling skill! I bought these tiaras in bulk!" 

Yunyu stretched out his hands again, and three tiaras floated on his palm, collecting energy particles, "Never underestimate the power of shoujo's pure heart! Moon tiara… triple actions!" 

Yunyu threw the tiaras at the crooks.

SLASH! SLASH!

"Arrggh!"

"Warrghh!" 

Two crooks got sliced and died instantly, but one crook was in ninja class. He dodged it skilfully and lunged at Yunyu with his poisonous dagger. 

Yunyu watched as the poisonous dagger almost reached his face before the hooded girl suddenly teleported behind the ninja and killed him. 

"Alright, that's enough," the girl said as she smiled at Yunyu. She sheathed her sword and took off her hood. The girl was actually a mature beauty with auburn hair and seemed to be a mix of Asian and European.

"You surprised me with your capability. Though, honestly, I lured them here to kill them all. They had harassed many female players in Faran City according to the report," the girl said. 

"But you are indeed a brave young man. Though… your power is a bit… unique," the girl said. She stretched out her hand and introduced herself, "My name is Lily, but you can call me with my game id, PoisonLily."

[Ah, who would have expect the female lead to be a bloody but beautiful vigilante.]

[Pupa: Not you, for sure. You are too busy thinking about buying so many useless stuff in the market.]

[Hey, they were on 75% discount! Of course, I have to buy it!] 

***

XuanLake watched everything from afar. He intentionally left Yunyu alone and used 'Eagle Eye' skill to spy on him. He wanted to see what would Yunyu do when he was alone. 

He thought that this person must have a scheming mind and cold heart. But he willingly jumped in to save an unknown girl, although it was obviously dangerous. 

Yet, a player as scheming as Cutiepie69, XuanLake thought that he would kill those crooks stealthily and escaped. Who would have expected that he would yell loudly and did exaggerated poses and attacks? 

The mystery behind Cutiepie69 was intriguing for XuanLake as he kept pondering.

'What is truly inside this guy's perplexing mind?'
