ARBW Chapter 06

Pei Yuhuai had no intention of listening to the middle-aged man’s nonsense. He directly reached out and tapped him, once again “controlling” the middle-aged Noble.

It was at this moment that the middle-aged Noble seemed to realize something, and in sheer terror, he wet himself on the spot.

He was so frightened that he frantically gestured towards a camera above, signaling the Nobles watching the live stream to hurry and find a way to save him.

Those who had the time to watch such a live stream were mostly figures like Brother Wu. They were a group of lecherous fiends, all of the same ilk.

To prevent them from encountering the same situation as Brother Wu when they visited the town in the future, they were particularly indignant about what happened today.

A crowd in the live stream was screaming in panic, with some frantically providing feedback to the organizers, and others even contacting other Guardians.

However, Pei Yuhuai was unaware of all this; he was still immersed in the interaction.

This time, he clicked on the lecherous middle-aged man again. Having already tried two negative interactions before, he decided to test the option of hitting and scolding this time.

To be honest, personally hitting and scolding someone felt quite beneath his dignity. He hesitated, wondering if this would make Lin Mian think he was uncultured.

But he was also particularly curious about what hitting and scolding in the game would be like.

After a brief moment of hesitation, he chose the option to hit and scold.

Once he selected the option, two smaller choices appeared: hitting and scolding.

Scolding should be similar to taunting, which he had already tried. He couldn’t come up with particularly harsh insults, so it would be better to just hit him directly.

With that thought, he chose to hit. Hitting was divided into two types: direct physical contact or using a tool.

Seeing this, Pei Yuhuai opted to use a tool.

He had a bit of a cleanliness obsession; even in the game, he didn’t want to touch a LYP who was scared to the point of wetting himself.

After choosing to use a tool, his backpack popped up. All the items in his backpack could be used as tools for hitting.

For example, the gun he had used earlier, as well as the electric baton, dagger, and submachine gun in his backpack, could all serve as tools.

Pei Yuhuai glanced at them and ultimately chose the electric baton.

In this hitting and scolding interaction, he couldn’t kill the opponent. If he used the gun, it would be easy to kill the middle-aged man.

For such a disgusting villain, killing him outright would be too merciful.

The best approach was to torment him bit by bit, just as he had bullied others earlier, allowing him to experience what it felt like to be bullied.

So he took out the electric baton and swung it towards the middle-aged man’s face. As the baton struck him, the man immediately howled in agony.

Fortunately, no matter how terrible his screams were, Pei Yuhuai, engrossed in the game, couldn’t hear them.

Any insults or unpleasant sounds would be automatically muted by the game system.

Thus, Pei Yuhuai felt no sense of bullying; it was entirely like playing a game, with the whole process lacking any significant discomfort.

He unleashed a flurry of actions on the middle-aged man—poking his head, poking his face, poking his belly… The Nobles watching the live stream were filled with terror.

“This person is simply too much!”

“Exactly, how can he humiliate a Noble like this?”

“He’s utterly disregarding the law!”

“Well, in the apocalypse, it seems there really is no law.”

Otherwise, such an evil town wouldn’t exist.

They, as the ones trampling on others’ dignity in this apocalypse, had never thought about the concept of law before.

The weak who died at their hands numbered in the thousands, including pregnant women and innocent children who knew nothing.

At that time, no one spoke of law or morality, nor did anyone think their actions were excessive.

Now, with someone who disregarded their Noble status and feared no Guardians, they suddenly became aware of the law.

Unfortunately, no matter how indignant they were, Pei Yuhuai remained undeterred.

He quickly zapped the middle-aged man until he could no longer scream, then ended the interaction.

Just then, two Guardians rushed in.

Because Pei Yuhuai had killed one of their companions, as soon as they entered the room, they aimed their guns at him.

From Pei Yuhuai’s perspective, it looked like two Red-named NPCs had suddenly burst into the room.

Red names were simple; they could be killed.

Those who frequently played monster-hunting games knew that encountering Red names required no hesitation.

Thus, Pei Yuhuai immediately drew his silenced pistol and fired two shots at the two Red-named Monsters. At the same time, the two Guardians fired several shots at him.

In a one-against-two situation, logically speaking, even if his weapons were superior, two fists could hardly match four hands.

But the next second, something astonishing happened that left everyone present in shock. They saw a flash on the young Noble’s body, and the bullets aimed at him were deflected.

This scene was simply too miraculous. Everyone looked at Pei Yuhuai with astonishment, and while they were still in disbelief, a shiny page for extracting abilities appeared on Pei Yuhuai’s screen.

The appearance of this page was due to the game system detecting that he was now facing two strong enemies.

The previous Guardian had died so easily mainly because he hadn’t anticipated that this young Noble would kill without hesitation.

He was unprepared and hadn’t expected it, combined with Pei Yuhuai’s superior weaponry, which led to his accidental death.

However, the two Guardians who had come this time had seen the previous live stream. As soon as they arrived, they opened fire on Pei Yuhuai, and both were Mutants with special abilities. This time, Pei Yuhuai couldn’t deal with them using just his little pistol.

Fortunately, Pei Yuhuai was wealthy, right?

The cunning game system presented him with the ability extraction interface at that moment.

This ability extraction interface was similar to the card-drawing events in some card games.

The difference was that other games drew clothing cards and such, while this one drew abilities.

For example, some common abilities included wind, water, lightning, and plant abilities, among others.

There were also some more special abilities, such as light, healing, and dark abilities.

Each ability extraction cost 999, meaning it took a thousand dollars to draw once.

Such a game would be considered exorbitantly priced in reality; no game would dare charge a thousand for a single draw.

Moreover, this ability extraction card game didn’t guarantee that one would obtain an ability.

The rarer the ability, the harder it was to draw. Even common abilities weren’t guaranteed.

Every ten draws had a guaranteed ordinary ability, which meant it was equivalent to ten thousand dollars for one ability.

Such card draws would be considered sky-high prices in real-world games.

But for Lin Mian and the others in this world, spending ten thousand dollars for an ability draw was practically a steal.

Pei Yuhuai hadn’t played games in a long time. Although he thought the price seemed a bit steep, he merely thought about it for a moment before unhesitatingly opting for ten draws.

Previously, Pei Yuhuai had charged ten times 688, already reaching VIP level eight.

Now, with a single breath, he went for ten ability draws, totaling 9999, or ten thousand dollars.

His VIP level rose to VIP nine, just under two thousand dollars away from VIP ten.

Pei Yuhuai didn’t pay attention to his VIP level; he was focused on the abilities he had drawn.

With ten draws, there was one ordinary ability guaranteed, and he was quite lucky.

In his ten draws, he obtained one ordinary ability, plus the guaranteed one, giving him a total of two abilities.

The guaranteed ability was a fire ability, while he drew a water ability.

Water and fire are incompatible, and since both were ordinary abilities, Pei Yuhuai felt a bit unimpressed.

Yes, as a wealthy person with no time, he had always liked to max out his equipment when playing games.

This way, he could save a lot of time and avoid the frustration of being suppressed by others.

He wasn’t particularly interested in this game; however, he found the ability extraction card draws quite enjoyable.

He wanted to see what other abilities were available, so he went for two more rounds of ten draws.

In those two rounds, he got two guaranteed ordinary abilities: one wind ability and one earth ability.

Besides these two guarantees, the two rounds of ten draws yielded two rare abilities: one ice ability and one speed ability.

Drawing cards can be quite addictive, especially when money isn’t an issue, and with the added guarantee of rare abilities.

Pei Yuhuai glanced at the guarantees below, pursed his thin lips, and went for two more rounds of ten draws.

Meanwhile, the situation on Lin Mian’s side was quite awkward.

As previously mentioned, the flow of time was the same on both sides. In other words, while Pei Yuhuai was spending money to draw abilities, everyone else was “waiting” for him.

Actually, saying they were waiting wasn’t entirely accurate; they weren’t willing to wait for Pei Yuhuai, but they had no way to deal with him.

Currently, Pei Yuhuai was completely still, with a buff similar to “invincibility” on him.

No matter how the two Guardians used their guns, hands, or abilities, they couldn’t inflict any damage on Pei Yuhuai.

While they were trying various methods, the Nobles who witnessed everything began to indulge in conspiracy theories.

“This person… could he be a super being developed by another country?”

“Yeah, it’s too strange; he looks odd all over.”

“Not to mention he’s super handsome, but he also has a strange ability.”

“Is it really the time to discuss how handsome he is? The issue is that he suddenly appeared here, looking like he’s coming for us.”

“Exactly, what good is being handsome? Once he puts a gun to our heads, we’ll be left with no way out.”

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Contact the organizers! Why would they let such a dangerous person in? Are they trying to get us Nobles killed?”

“Right, with such a problem, I don’t believe the organizers are unaware.”

“We must contact the International Noble Association; this matter absolutely cannot be left unresolved.”
