The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

The mode Wu Zhiheng chose was entertainment mode. He was going to use his strongest hero, which was on level 76 right now. Even though Fu Zhi humiliated him, he was not going to use another account with a lower level.

After the game had finished loading, Wu Zhiheng entered the game and the first thing he did was to farm wild monsters in the swampy area to earn gold and buy equipment.

Farming wild monsters was the main way of making an assassin stronger in Glory. In the process of killing wild monsters, players could also enter the room where the monsters were and open the treasure chests they guarded to get equipment, and different levels of wild monsters would give different kinds of equipment.

Generally speaking, in entertainment mode, if the hero did not have enough gold to buy equipment, its initial attack power would be very low. Therefore, players would choose to farm monsters with low defense to obtain gold and small treasure chests. Then, after the players had garnered enough gold and equipment, they would go challenge stronger wild monsters to get more gold and treasure chest equipment.

In the end, after the players had almost completed gathering all the equipment they needed, when they came across the opponent’s heroes, they would engage in a battle immediately. The players who appeared victorious would get more gold to buy equipment by, while the players who lost would not not get anything. Instead, they would be sent back to their base 20 seconds after their death, and their growth would be retarded.

As Wu Zhiheng was farming the wild monsters, he clicked on the mini map in the upper left corner. There was still some distance between Fu Zhi and him, and if his memory served him right, Fu Zhi was currently at the spawning location with the weakest wild monsters.

Wu Zhiheng’s teammates could not help themselves and laughed, Hah, her hero is just level 56. She doesn’t have enough gold to buy equipment, and since her initial attack power is low, she could only start with the weakest wild monster.”

“It seems to me that there’s still a long way for her to go before she could come face to face with Zhiheng.”

“There’s no need to wait for her to come look for Zhiheng. After Zhiheng has killed the high-leveled monster “Tyrant”, he will be able to open the largest treasure chest in the whole map and get high-grade equipment. At that time, he can go straight up to Fu Zhi and show her who’s the boss here!”

Everyone in Hang Yuan was excited, and they felt extremely content when they saw Fu Zhi was just killing weak wild monsters.

After about a minute, the heroes of Wu Zhiheng and Fu Zhi were getting closer.

A smile appeared on Wu Zhiheng’s face, and just when he thought the victory of the game was in the bag, a mechanical female voice erupted, [“Tyrant”, the swamp master has been slain. The golden treasure chest has been claimed and the enemy hero receives a 20% attack power boost.]

After the announcement, the sky in the swamp area turned dark and rain began to fall.

Wu Zhiheng was stunned.

‘Huh? What happened? Tyrant has been slain? The chest has been claimed? Who the hell did it? This is impossible!’

The gold that he had gotten from farming intermediate wild monsters was only enough for him to purchase a piece of equipment from the shop. His hero did not have the attack power to kill “Tyrant” yet, so how was there any possibility that Fu Zhi’s hero, whose initial attack was lower than him, would be able to defeat Tyrant?

Wu Zhiheng’s face darkened, and he felt something must be wrong with the game.

On Fu Zhi’s side, although she had been wandering around the spawning spot of low-level monsters, if one observed carefully, one would be able to notice that the spot next to the spawning spot of low-level monsters was actually the spawning spot of high-level monsters.

The assassin that she controlled was one of the few heroes that could phase through the wall. As long as she timed her skill well, and if she bought a piece of equipment that accelerated the cooldown skill in advance, Fu Zhi would be able to go through the wall again and again. She would phase through the wall to return to the low-level monster’s side when the high-level monster attacked her, take the damage from the low-level monster, and let the high-level monster’s attack hit on the wall. Then, she would wait until her skill cooldown was over, and go through the wall again to attack the high-level monster.

This was considered one of the “bugs” in Glory, but this kind of bug was only usable for a hero like the red-clad swordswoman that had fast cooldown and could go through the wall.

Besides, due to the fact that it required the players to have some techniques to control the red-clad swordswoman, more than 90% of the players would not pick this hero as their main hero. As such, it was considered a rare hero amongst the players, and no one would study how to play the red-clad swordswoman.

Fu Zhi opened up the treasure chest.

After a flash of golden light, a load of equipment dropped on the ground. Perhaps Fu Zhi was one of the few players who could defeat a boss-level monster in roughly 1 minute, there were a lot of rewards inside the treasure chest.

Even Lu Yubai, who was standing not far away, could not help himself and cursed aloud.

“The reason assassins have to farm wild monsters is that they need to collect six pieces of gear, yet you have already gotten 4 of it in less than 2 minutes!”

“Wu Zhiheng has only gotten 1, right?”

“Sister Zhi, you’re so awesome!”

“You should go and kill him now since his attack power must be lower than you right now!”

The boys from the basketball team were helping Fu Zhi with their ideas. After all, now was her best chance to defeat Wu Zhiheng. If she was skillful enough, defeating Wu Zhiheng was not a problem at all.

After Fu Zhi had picked up all the equipment, she lifted her head and the first thing that appeared in her vision was Wu Zhiheng’s reddened face.

It seemed to her that he was going to pass out sooner or later.

There was still some distance between Fu Zhi and Wu Zhiheng’s heroes. She did not go up to Wu Zhiheng. Instead, she turned around and resumed farming the wild monsters again.

Everyone was stunned.

‘What the hell does that mean? Is she looking down on me?’

Wu Zhiheng was so angry that his face had turned red like a tomato.

Seeing his reddened face, his friend hastily said, “Calm down, Zhiheng. I’m sure she won’t come to you because she knows she can’t defeat you.”

“Yeah, he’s right, Zhiheng. You should seize this chance and farm more wild monsters to gather more coins to buy better equipment. Besides, Tyrant will appear on the map every 5 minutes after it has been slain. You just need to wait until the next Tyrant appears!”

“You have 3 pieces of equipment now, and after you kill Tyrant 5 minutes later, you will get another 2 pieces of equipment. At that time, you will be able to defeat her easily!”

Wu Zhiheng’s face lightened. He rubbed his face and resumed farming more monsters like Fu Zhi.

Five minutes later.

Fu Zhi had gathered 5 pieces of equipment, while Wu Zhiheng had 4 on his hands right now. The attack power of their heroes was about the same.

“Wu Zhiheng is going for Tyrant!”

“You have to stop him! It’d be best if you could defeat him before he slain Tyrant!”

“No, no, no, that won’t work. Wu Zhiheng is not weak at all. Both of your attack powers are about the same, so here’s my suggestion. You should hide beside the bushes when he’s fighting Tyrant. Then, when his health is low and all his skills are cooling down, it’s time for you to strike. At that time, you will be able to defeat him!”

“Yes, yes, yes! You should hide beside the bushes!”

However, Fu Zhi paid them no mind and continued farming the wild monsters.

Wu Zhiheng had arrived in front of Tyrant. After he ascertained that Fu Zhi was not around, only then he started to challenge the monster.

One second, 2 seconds…

Time was slipping little by little, and Fu Zhi was still farming the wild monsters.

Then, the same mechanical female voice rang out from Fu Zhi’s phone, [Tyrant, the swamp master has been slain. The golden treasure chest has been claimed and the enemy hero receives a 20% attack power boost.]

“Nice!”

“Your attack power is now double of Fu Zhi’s attack power! Let’s go get her, Zhiheng!”

Wu Zhiheng straightened his body and dashed straight to Fu Zhi.

Fu Zhi had only obtained 5 pieces of equipment now.

Song Fang shouted and closed his eyes. “This is over! I shouldn’t let you accept the challenge! Argh, you’re going to lose!”

“Wu Zhiheng is such a b*stard. Sister Zhi spared her after she had slain Tyrant, but he came straight at her after he had slain Tyrant!”

Just when the basketball team from No.1 High School thought Fu Zhi was going to lose, Fu Zhi’s hero suddenly vanished into thin air when Wu Zhiheng launched his first attack on her.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Just as nobody knew what had happened, the red-clad swordswoman suddenly appeared behind Wu Zhiheng’s hero. The twin blades in her hands gave out a cold sheen, and while Wu Zhiheng was trying to do something, the red-clad swordswoman unleashed her skill.

“Holy!” Song Fang pounced at Fu Zhi.

The red-clad swordswoman sprang into the air, and a few small blades shot out from her sleeves.

The red-clad swordswoman was the hardest hero to control in Glory. This hero would be very powerful if the player was good, but most of the time, other heroes would be able to make quick work of her.

Right now, Song Fang could only see Fu Zhi’s fingers were dancing nimbly on the keyboard, and they could barely follow her movement. They could not tell if Fu Zhi was messing around or she actually knew how to use the hero.

Wu Zhiheng was trapped by Fu Zhi.

Every small blade that shot out of the red-clad swordswoman would land on Wu Zhiheng’s hero in a precise and error-free manner.

Wu Zhiheng’s health bar was dropping fast, and Fu Zhi’s hero health bar had dropped more than half as well.

“In this situation, they could only unleash their ultimate skill if they want to win.”

The students behind Fu Zhi were looking at her with bated breath. They did not know if she could execute her ultimate skill or not.

As for Wu Zhiheng, although he had not played the red-clad swordswoman, he was familiar with her ultimate skill.

Wu Zhiheng controlled his hero to unleash his ultimate skill to intercept the skill thrown by Fu Zhi’s red-clad swordswoman. The sword energies in the shape of a phoenix from both sides clashed in the air, and a loud bang sounded out.

“What happened? Who won?”

“I don’t know. I only saw two phoenixes clashing in the air!”

“I’m sure it must be Wu Zhiheng. His hero has a higher level, and not only that, but he also has a 20% boost on his attack and 6 pieces of godly level equipment.”

Then, the word “First Blood” sounded out.

Wu Zhiheng let out a sigh.

Song Fang patted Fu Zhi’s shoulder, “It’s okay. Don’t be sad.”

Fu Zhi lifted her eyebrows and pointed at her phone.

“I know, I know. He only won by a whisker. If it were not for…” Song Fang’s eyes bulged and he shouted, “Hold on a second!”

His eyes were filled with disbelief as he moved closer to the phone.

The red-clad swordswoman was still standing, while Wu Zhiheng’s assassin had dropped t the ground.

So…

Fu Zhi won?

Song Fang turned around and gave a slap at Wang Yu’s face, “Does it hurt?”

Wang Yu was speechless.

Covering his cheek with his hand, he looked at Song Fang and said plainly, “What do you think?”

Song Fang then shouted, “So I’m not dreaming!”

Wang Yu, “Hah!”

‘Screw you, Song Fang! Screw you! How dare you slap me in my face?!’

Just as Wang Yu grabbed Song Fang’s hair, Wu Zhiheng yelled, his voice laced with disbelief, “This is impossible! Your hero’s attack power is low, so how is there any possibility you can cancel my skill? You must be cheating! I want to check the recording and I want to check your phone too!”
