My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World-Chapter 482 - 416: Stalker Training Manual

"Edward?" Chichu Chun was stunned.

She hadn't heard the name before.

Seeing the girl couldn't remember, the blond young man slowly stepped out from behind Vlad II, his gaze unfriendly.

"Let me jog your memory. There's a guild called Necropolis, and someone named Abyssal White Flower barged into the Evil Spirit Cave, insulting and killing our people. Who doesn't know that Two Tier is our territory? She's one of yours, right?"

Chichu Chun's eyes turned cold.

These words were just a formality. How could a grand guild like Era of the Dead, ranked twenty-third on the charts, fall out with them just because of their subsidiary guild's interests being hurt? Who in Oasis hasn't heard of Dark Gold Rose?

There was only one possibility: these guys were instigated by someone, most likely backed by the Silent Sequence.

"I'll give you two choices," Vlad II's lips curled up.

"One, hand over that Abyssal White Flower to us, and this matter will be over."

"Two, you can join us. Of course, this outpost must also belong to us."

"Don't even think about it!" Chichu Chun resolutely refused.

Vlad II shrugged, "Such a waste of a pretty face."

Chichu Chun made a face, not thinking twice before turning around to run.

"Catch her for me!"

Blood splashed as those trying to stop the girl had their necks burst with bloody marks.

...

Tap, tap, tap.

Chichu Chun's footsteps echoed in the corridor, the candlelight flickering up and down.

She wandered into the shadows, hiding in the building's concealed spots, observing the players chasing her while pondering how to contact her teammates.

The entire prison was divided into three layers, from top to bottom. She was now on the second underground level. The first layer was the trap zone; to pass through that area so easily, either her Red Glow had an enemy's insider, or there were more traitors in the Light Chasing Garden.

Calculating in her heart, Chichu Chun keenly sensed a group heading in this direction, her mind raced as she stealthily made her way quickly.

She tiptoed to the path they must take, casually placing a few sensor mines packed with steel balls, then stepped back and quietly observed after applying optical camouflage spray.

"A bunch of useless freeloaders, can't find a single person in such a small place. What's the point of keeping you all around?"

Vlad II's roar echoed above, making the members' ears buzz; they couldn't help but move their communicators further away.

"This crazy woman is really troublesome; I'm contemplating jumping ship to Dark Gold Rose's guild. It's clearly more promising there, isn't it?"

"Shh, shh, shh, if that lunatic woman hears you, she'll skin you alive."

Seeing the group about to step into the trap, they suddenly stopped.

"Something's not right." The leading hunter sniffed lightly, his years of professional experience made him exceptionally sensitive to traps. He crouched down carefully, examining the surroundings.

He quickly noticed something unusual on the ground. The light in one spot was significantly different from the nearby illumination.

He chuckled, thinking a stalker's trap would blind a hunter's eyes?

Just as he focused on this discovery to report to his teammates, the dark red-haired girl suddenly dashed out from the corner, her thumb slicing across her neck in a provocative gesture before disappearing at the corner.

"She's over there!" Someone shouted excitedly.

"Don't let her escape! The guild leader said whoever catches her will be heavily rewarded!"

"Wait, you guys..." The hunter's voice was quickly drowned out in the chaotic crowd, as they charged toward the girl like sharks smelling blood.

Afraid of divine-like opponents? Dreading pig-like teammates instead—despair filled the hunter's heart.

The next second, the trap was triggered, the disk-shaped mines shooting into the air. He heard the blast pounding in his ears in the last moment.

Hundreds of flying pellets pierced through bodies, embedding densely into the walls, leaving countless little holes.

Damage notifications flooded Chichu Chun's screen, effortlessly taking down a group of members.

She knew the commotion had alerted the others, and many stalkers were looking for her location. Blending back into the darkness, she swiftly changed positions.

Fights between stalkers were always lightning-fast and deadly.

Implementing the principle of exposure equals destruction.

In this primitive forest of hunters, whoever's aura is detected first, whoever steps on a twig alerting other hunters, will die.

A competent Shadow Attacker must uphold a high professional standard of not being exposed, not hesitating, and leaving no survivors.

With this in mind, shadows rose under Chichu Chun's feet. An identical shadow clone appeared, indistinguishable even to herself.

The major difference between a Shadow Attacker and an Assassin lay in the shadow clone ability—the latter excelled more in attack, whereas the former masterfully utilized shadow abilities.

As for thieves, they're essentially a profession adept at stealing, lock-picking, treasure hunting, and specialized in stabbing kidneys.

Yes, Oasis categorizes related professions under one umbrella.

For example, Mages, Wizards, and various Scholars are referred to as Magic Professionals.

Hunters, Rangers, Card Masters, etc., fall under Hunters.

Berserkers, Barbarians, Street Fighters are classified as Combat Professionals.

Guardians, Paladins, and Heavy Knights have specialized attacks against undead, with their thick skins classified as Holy Professionals.

And Stalkers, deemed the coolest and most stylish, are the most critical in a team, offering the strongest hit feeling, the noblest stealth professions, thief excluded.

An absolute hierarchy exists within stalkers, exceptionally strict on ranks, but regardless of being assassins or Shadow Attackers—even those known for support capabilities like Life Musicians—all despise thief players from the heart.

After all the effort to obtain equipment, they barely return to the Main City when a charming thief cheerfully greets them, and in a blink, their belongings get snatched away. Who would feel fond of such a profession?

Despite their kidney strike skill dealing exceptionally high damage—even exceeding many of a Shadow Attacker's and Assassin's skill multipliers—most teams clearly state they don't welcome thieves.

Returning to the battlefield, Chichu Chun's shadow clone was at 'Mastery' level, capable of creating clones with 90% of her attributes at the cost of her own being reduced to 70%, an insignificant drawback.

Not long after, a thief player emerged, delighted at seeing the defenseless red-haired girl ahead, immediately deploying the sand throw, knee kick, and kidney strike combo.

Casually adding a 'Cloud-Exploring Hand' afterward, she was shocked by the 'Tang's Hand' icon, surprised to find the red-haired girl in front was a shadow clone, cursing the Shadow Attacker's treachery as she hastily retreated.

Countless shadowy hands extended from the side walls, slowly wrapping around her arms and thighs, tightening until her body was securely restrained.

Chichu Chun leapt down from the ceiling.

Dealing with a thief requires humiliating them back fiercely using their own tactics!

Gazing at the thief's terrified face, Chichu Chun mischievously smiled, placing her hands on the thief's thighs, slowly exploring upwards.

The thief surprisingly didn't resist, blushing for some inexplicable reason.

Chichu Chun finally only found a 'worn-out wallet', feeling sorely disappointed.

"Uh, I have some artifacts on me. Want to search some more?" the thief bashfully suggested, looking down, "right at my..."

Chichu Chun, chilled by the girl's unblinking gaze, decisively slit her throat.
