Chapter 617: Don’t Assassinate; Use Musou

Translator: Noodletown Translations  Editor: Noodletown Translations

[Sir!😚] At this moment, a loli’s profile photo lit up on Mr. Fang’s communication jade. He turned it on and read her message, [How come Assassin’s Creed is so difficult to play? (Husky’s fierce face)]

Despite the great power of the monsters, the players in Resident Evil had guns and RPGs and thus didn’t find it too hard to handle those monsters who had no brains. The players could clear the stage as long as they didn’t venture into the highest difficult level.

However, in Assassin’s Creed, there were people and soldiers everywhere. With one misstep, they would be surrounded without any guns or cannons at their disposal.

While monsters who were infected by T-virus were without brains, the real soldiers were intelligent, which made the game quite difficult to play.

Su Tianji said, [Hurry! Play it on the livestream, or I’ll quit the game!]

Soon, he received another message.

Nalan Mingxue said, [(Husky’s disdainful face) Did you add special effects in your trailer?]

With poor experiences in her own livestream, Su Tianji forced Mr. Fang to put on a livestream with the threat of quitting the game.

Damn it! She just couldn’t continue her livestream anymore!

…

“Show us if you can do it!” Elina was furious.

In the new shop, many people stood around the counter.

As the owner of the shop, Mr. Fang didn’t want people to say that he had added many special effects in the trailer of the game.

So, Fang Qi sat down before a computer and turned on the game and the big-screen livestream, which was Mr. Fang’s privilege.

“Hey! The shop owner turned on the livestream!”

In the old shops, Su Tianji, Jiang Xiaoyue, Song Qingfeng, and the others all sat on the couches in the lounge area. After all, Mr. Fang hadn’t done a livestream for a long time.

A real assassin, Elina bought a box of spicy sticks. Regardless if the games in the shop were good or not, she found that the spicy sticks were quite delicious. She watched the livestream while eating.

Of course, she was just here to watch how the shop owner would fail since she didn’t believe that anyone would have better assassination skills than her.

Standing behind her, the Elf Girl Sala watched the show with a cup of milk tea in her hand.

All the members of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion walked over with sulky expressions. Obviously, they had been tortured by Assassin’s Creed so much that they couldn’t even perform as knights, let alone assassins.

They wished that they had gone to try Dulan Workshop’s new cultivation mystic realm instead.

At this moment, Mr. Fang entered the game and got ready.

Altair stood on a tall tower, looking down on the whole city like an eagle.

“Ugh?! Where’s this place?!” Obviously, Mr. Fang’s map was different. Most players had just come to the first assassination mission in which there were mostly low residential houses and no guards on the roofs.

However, in Mr. Fang’s map, they could see a huge harbor zone with Byzantine-style buildings. Also, many archers hid in concealed places on the roofs.

On the main roads and ships stood many templar knights. In previous missions, there were more ordinary people and fewer templar knights. This mission was clearly different.

Looking forward into the distance, people could see about ten templar knights surrounding several white-robed scholars and yelling at them.

“…!? How come there are so many of them?!” Sala was astonished.

“Where’s this place?!” Elina exclaimed too while her hand was feeding spicy sticks into her mouth, and her eyes stared at the screen intently.

When they played the game, they had seen bustling crowds and could hide themselves among the ordinary people. Besides, there were no secret guards on the roofs or so many templar knights.

Of course, Mr. Fang’s game progress was much faster than others. By now, due to the repeated assassinations, the templar knights began to suspect that the scholars were accomplices of assassins since they all wore white robes.

From the distance, they could see a scholar being knocked down.

“Ugh?! How did the shop owner go there?!” Soon, they saw Mr. Fang coming to the pier.

“What assassin is he?!” Elina was enraged. The tutorial had told them how to get into their opponents’ blind spots of vision. Even if they couldn’t sneak up this way, they must keep themselves in concealment. But now, she saw Mr. Fang just walking up directly?!

Loud whistling sounds came.

Obviously, the archers on the roof had shot out more than one hidden arrow at him.

Meanwhile, a nearby templar knight was charging at Mr. Fang with a saber.

“Do you know how to play an assassin?!” Elina demanded.

She thought that he was a big moron.

Mr. Fang looked impatient. On the screen, Altair turned his body and whipped out his hidden blade with the momentum of turning. Then, the templar knight clutched his own neck while blood gushed out from his fingers.

Two more templar knights dashed up. On the screen, Fang Qi controlled Altair to move to the side, blocking them with his left hand while whipping out his right hand. The two soldiers fell to the ground almost simultaneously.

Altair continued to walk toward his target without stopping.

A templar knight sneaked up to him silently and raised his sword with both hands.

Altair turned and parried the attack. Following the momentum of the counterattack, he sent the sword into the knight’s chest!

“!!??” Not only Sala and the members of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion, but the assassins were frozen by the scene as well.

The smooth killing skills and the elegant moves looked as easy as if he were strolling around.

Is he moving exactly the same as the character in the trailer?!

While killing the knights, Mr. Fang said, “Don’t assassinate, use musou. There’s not much time in life for you to achieve total synchronization. If you hate him, then kill him. Killing all the witnesses is the perfect assassination. Sneaking up is no use because you’ll be discovered sooner or later. If someone sees you, just kill him, either with your sword or throwing knife if they are far away. The worst that will happen is losing synchronization, but losing synchronization is the norm while you play the game…”

[TL Note: This is a dig at Assassin’s Creed since players feel like the game’s stealth feature is lacking. Instead, it is a great fighting game like Dynasty Warrior. That is where the reference ‘musou’ comes from.]

Before he finished his monologue, the ground was covered by bodies. Meanwhile, more templar knights swarmed towards him.

Mr. Fang continued to hack and slash.

Everyone was at a loss for words.

How can you play an assassin this way?! Elina almost went crazy.

“The second tenet of the creed for assassins is hiding yourself; you are breaking the creed and will certainly lose synchronization!” Elina said loudly.

After all, assassins would lose synchronization not only in death but also when they deviated from the character’s code of conduct.

But a moment later, when all the templar knights were killed, she saw a prompt appearing on Mr. Fang’s screen, [Mission accomplished.]

“!!??” Elina gaped at the screen.

The mission is completed?! Can we do it this way?!

The assassins felt like crying.

Elina had the feeling that Mr. Fang had played the real Assassin’s Creed while she…

While biting into a spicy stick, she thought that maybe she had been playing Assassin’s Spicy Sticks.

Some players hadn’t gotten the chance to watch Mr. Fang’s livestream. For example, Ning Bi had just finished her gameplay and sent a message in the group chat for Assassin’s Creed in QQ. [How come Assassin’s Creed is so difficult to play? How did you guys do the assassinations?]

Song Qingfeng posted a screenshot of Mr. Fang’s livestream, showing Altair standing over dead bodies all over the ground. [Perfect Assassination.]

“Pu-!”
