11 Chapter 11 – Fight Club

"What's Fight Club?" It was the first time Su Mo had heard of this, and it sounded like some boxing place.

"I say, brother, is it that you haven't played this game for long or that you don't pay attention to these things?"

"A bit of both. New World is the first game I've played. I normally only focus on my clients' requests, so I don't have time to investigate other things."

"Of the current gaming circles, [Celebrity Hall] is one of the most famous, and it has some of the most top-tier existences. Fight Club is a bit inferior, but it is still a high-end circle."

From his explanation, Su Mo was able to gradually understand what kind of organization Fight Club was. At first, it was just a bunch of solo players who did not want to remain mediocre. In order to resist guilds and pay-to-win players, they decided to gather together.

The original members became stronger and gradually established their own factions, and many of them became bosses. However, they did not disband this organization, and Fight Club became a communication platform for high-end players.

Fight Club's members often sparred together and would often organize PVP competitions. There was some information that only those who joined could view, and those who leaked information would immediately be kicked out, hunted down, and killed for a while.

Joining Fight Club required the recommendation of two veteran members, as well as at least one ability that would be useful to others in the game.

Of course, they would invite some up-and-coming experts every year.

"I can recommend you, and Smoke Wine And Flirtation shouldn't be a problem either; that'll be two people. As for your ability, you can just say you're good at helping people solve their problems; I can vouch for you. You've helped me with a big problem," Omnipresent Brightness said passionately.

"It's alright. I'll wait for them to invite me after I've become famous," he immediately shook his head and refused hearing Omnipresent Brightness say this.

Smoke Wine And Flirtation evidently looked down on him and would most likely would not recommend him.

Su Mo did not have a single skin!

Smoke Wine And Flirtation looked down on the fact that Su Mo didn't have a single skin because he felt that skins were a form of prestige.

This was like comparing a bare-footed killer and a killer who wore shoes. Perhaps the bare-footed one had the same strength and not having shoes might not affect him from being able to kill people, but he just didn't feel as capable and trustworthy as a killer with shoes.

"Alright, brother, you seem quite ambitious. I think you'll definitely be able to make it, haha." Omnipresent Brightness did not insist.

He had the ability to convince Smoke Wine And Flirtation, and even if he refused, he could still find someone else to recommend Su Mo. However, it seemed that Su Mo did not want to owe favors, and he felt even more appreciative of Su Mo.

The two of them parted just like close friends.

Omnipresent Brightness felt that of the friends he had made, Su Mo was the most special one.

After finishing this request, Su Mo transferred I Love Luo $600. This request was worth 50 gold coins, which was $3,000. The broker took a 20% cut, which was $600.

Even though I Love Luo repeatedly declined, Su Mo still sent the money over.

He could not go for the Pale White Bone right now because the Boss only appeared when night came. Because of how rich and powerful Omnipresent Brightness was, they had finished quite early, so Su Mo became quite free.

He repaired his tattered equipment and decided to go kill someone.

The Milky Way Empire's boss, Fatal Octopus. $1,000 per kill, three times in total.

In actuality, killing someone was very simple; what was not simple was the price that one had to pay for killing someone. If it was in real life, Su Mo would not be a contract killer for even $5 million.

Fortunately, this was just a game, so almost everyone was a killer.

Human nature was evil and after repressing evil thoughts for a long time, they would either be extinguished or become even stronger until they exploded out one day.

As such, the game did not prohibit people from killing each other; it was better than them starting a slaughter in real life.

Fatal Octopus was Level 26 in the game, one level higher than Su Mo. He was a Magician and was not a PVP expert, but he very much liked to PVP. He often brought around two followers with him: one Sacrificer and one Berserker who were slightly better than him.

He had recently been focused on power-leveling and farmed the spider monsters in Shattered Canyons.

Of course, when he felt bored of grinding, he would go and kill other players in Shattered Canyon.

This was not a good person.

He deserved to die!

Looking at the information that Old Luo had given him, Su Mo felt that he had a good reason to kill this fellow.

It definitely wasn't for $3,000.

Su Mo came to Shattered Canyon and found a place to grind like an ordinary player. It was quite normal for a Level 25 player to grind here, as the monsters ranged from Level 23 to Level 30. This made it one of the best places for a solo player to grind.

He did not know why Fatal Octopus would choose a place like this to grind.

Could it be because there were many solo players so he did not have to worry when he started to bully them?

Su Mo was not in a rush to kill his target. It would be one against three, and it was evident that their equipment was better than his. It would be suicide to just run in at them.

New World had many powerful battle professions. Even the Sacrificer profession, which could only be called a half-battle type profession, could win against an opponent of any other profession one-on-one if skilled enough. People liked to say that there was no strongest profession, only strong players.

Of course, different professions would be given slight updates whenever new patches came out.

After grinding for a bit more than one hour, Su Mo was able to get his Level 25 EXP bar half full, but he would not be able to level up any time soon. Leveling up was quite easy early on, but after getting past Level 10, one would only be able to level up every few days.

Hunters was the fastest profession at leveling up, as they did not need to stop to heal or wait for their mana to replenish. As long as they had a full bag of arrows, that was enough.

They could also use skills to replenish their pets' HP.

According to Su Mo's plan, he would patiently wait. When Fatal Octopus went to bully others, he would take advantage of that.

He had never thought that he would be the first to catch Fatal Octopus' attention. After all, he was also someone who bullied others. Fatal Octopus brought his two followers, came before Su Mo, and said one word: "Scram!"

Fatal Octopus had thought that Su Mo would say some savage words before attacking. That way, he could be in the right in slaughtering Su Mo. Who didn't have a bit of a temper in the game? After all, if one died, one would just lose some EXP. Worst came to worst, one would just drop a piece of equipment.

"Okay!" 

He had never expected Su Mo to be so timid and agreeable and directly leave.

He left very decisively and ran off as he left. Fatal Octopus and his followers could not even react in time.

"Fudge, what a scared little brat!"

"Maybe big bro was too intimidating and he was scared witless."

"I hate pretty boys like that; they look good but they're useless. Are looks something you can eat?"

"Let's go and find someone else."

"Big bro, there are two girls over there; their figures are quite good."

"Two Assassins eh? They won't be easy to catch."

"Heheh, we can also just flirt with them."

"You've got quite the dirty mind. Follow me well; in the future I'll take you to play with pretty models."
