Chapter 35

"This way!" I say as I guide the party to the cave I found.
Once inside, I activate the hidden C4 I placed on top of the entrance yesterday with Fanz.
It exploded and all the rubble came crashing into the entrance, blocking our way out.
"Tch. Looks like we have to go forward now." Says Golden.
I made up a random story about the monsters in this cave bothering the villagers at night so I wanted their help to get rid of it.
What they didn't know is that since I come to this cave to "grind" every day... The respawned monsters in here are pretty fearful of me BUT they also have a huge grudge against humans because of me so...good luck to Golden's team.
I also informed Fanz that ahead of time.
And this cave is a dungeon with a boss at the end. Although I already killed it countless times so the respawned boss always liked to hide behind the pillars when I'm nearby, I am going to seal my presence this time.
Go wild, monsters. Make sure to enjoy venting your anger on them.
In this situation, I predicted that at least one member will die but Golden will definitely not die. She is already lvl 81 and that is very impressive for someone without a cheat skill and profound knowledge of the game.
Maybe only the "cheat skill" part applies to her.
----------
*huff* *huff*
"I think...we are in the clear...*huff*," says Golden.
Impressive. None of them died, their coordination is amazing but they still suffered some lash back.
The monsters were wild today heh...must have held quite a large grudge against me.
I'm not even going to lie. They stop resisting when I try to take their life now. It's as if they know they are guaranteed to die so what's the point of fighting back.
Fanz throws me a glance when he takes out bottles of water for his party to drink.
Before he hands them out. He tries to look for something around the bottle and finally sees something and passes that bottle to me.
There's a mark carved at the side of this bottle...
The others quickly gulp the water in the entire bottle.
Soon, I can see some of them showing signs of headache and drowsiness. I drank my bottle but felt no such thing...
!!!
This guy mixed the water with the drug I gave him yesterday!!! Amazing! I didn't think till this far.
When someone is tired and you hand them a bottle of water, they won't really question what's in that water and just gulp it down. Especially when that bottle is from a companion.
Does he attend psychology lessons?
Fanz just becomes more interesting as time passes...
"You guys!! What's wrong?"
Wow, Golden isn't affected.
"Fanz!! You bastard!!" She draws her sword out and thrust towards Fanz.
I grab her blade and snap it with my bare hands.
!!!
"You are a player-"
Sliding a dagger out of my pocket, I quickly finish Golden and slits her throat.
The blood sprays and splattered all over the place as she grasps her neck and falls onto the ground.
?!
She is not dead yet? How high is her defence?? She only fainted from the pain.
After decapitating her, she finally became a corpse.
Phew...

What the heck!!!!
My defence!!!
I see...she was using a defence, sub-attack build...not that rare...in fact, players do the opposite, an attack, sub-defence build.
(Defence, sub-attack build is prioritising the defence stats while also focusing a bit on attack)
Fanz walks over to the corpses and he throws a glance at me.
...
"Don't worry, I'm not going to take any, as part of the deal, you can take all of it."
!!!
"I...thanks. I owe one. Not only did you help me identify the fact that they are using me, but you are also even letting me take the loot... I will repay this debt one day!"
"Yeah yeah. I'm leaving."
I bash the stone rubbles blocking the exit and leave.
Well, I was just taking advantage of the situation. Fanz will still be able to find a way and gain fame because he did pass the third stage.
Now here's the fun part...now that the hero is dead. The main capital kingdom will surely investigate and will push the blame on my village. That's when my chance to be famous comes in...
My village is currently in the western continent, each continent has the main capital and the capital here is called Jewel.
So I manage to devise a method to farm for fame using the least amount of time...
And that is going against the capital...
Rumours will first spread about my foolishness, giving me negative fame. But after I did manage to conquer the capital, the negative fame will instantly be turned into positive fame...i don't know if it will be good fame or bad but it doesn't matter.
Hmmm...i don't mean killing everyone in the capital though...violence is not always the answer to everything. So I've decided...
to be the lord of my village.
I will completely turn this poor and nameless village into a prosperous capital. This is the fastest and most efficient way to gain fame; through rumours and influence, I will dominate this stage!!
The next day, my father wakes me up earlier than usual as he says that the capital royal knights are coming to our village for an inspection.
Capital royal knights? The trump card straight from the start huh...alright then.
The knights gather us around in the small circular plaza between the brick houses and started rummaging through the houses...
They aren't even searching or investigating...just having fun destroying the properties of "peasants" like us.
Tch.
One of the knights grabs a teddy bear from Mino's home.
!!!
"Wait no!! Not that-"
Mino tried stopping that knight but he kicked her away and smirked at her.
"Shut up you brat. Is there something inside here? Someone give me a blade, I will cut this stuffed toy open. And take this girl with us to the capital, she is now a suspect." Says the knight.
They started staring at Mino in a lecherous way as some of them smile and one even licks his lips.
Disgusting...
The knight grabs Mino's hand as her mother tried to pry the hand away.
"Let go of her!!"
He slaps Mino's mother away and draws his sword.
"W-Wait!! No!"
He raises his blade into the sky with a huge smirk. Mino desperately tries to stop that knight. The mother is just frozen on the floor with fear and anger in her eyes.
Heh...
I directly grab the knight's hand to stop him.
!!!
"Tch. Another brat?" He spits at my face and attempts to kick me away.
But...
*BOOOM!!!*
"ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
His hand explodes as I squeezed it.
Oops...i guess I released my limiter and all of my stats are now my normal usual one's. Well, not that it matters. I have appraised every knight here...they are all so damn weak! All of their stats are around 60000.
Hahahahaha!!! Yet they dare to boss us around. Let this boy with over 800k stats in total teach all of you a lesson.
