Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 98 Phantom Assassin

The last day of the hot month.

Ji Xinghuo came back from outside the city early in the morning. When he arrived at the bounty hall, he found that it was much busier than usual. There were hundreds of bounty hunters who stayed to watch the excitement after receiving their bonuses.

"Ji Xinghuo is here!"

Before he stepped into the hall, Ji Xinghuo heard someone calling his name inside.

The bounty hunters who were queuing saw him and made way for him so that he could go directly to the counter to collect the bounty.

"Bounty 304 million, points 127."

The staff quickly counted the loot Ji Xinghuo handed over and handed the cash to him.

Although the bounty hunters were already aware of Ji Xinghuo's strength, they still sighed when they saw that he had earned so much money and points.

The staff at the reward office immediately refreshed the scoreboard, and Ji Xinghuo still ranked first, with a total of 1618 points this month!

"Outrageous..."

The bounty hunters shook their heads.

The second place Jingji and the third place Red Devil Alex both have just exceeded 1,000 points. Although they have not come to hand in the spoils today, there is almost no suspense.

"What was the previous highest score in a single month?" a bounty hunter asked.

"It seems to be more than four thousand points!"

A senior bounty hunter answered with an uncertain tone, "I think the record was set more than 20 years ago, and it hasn't been broken yet."

"It was 21 years ago, 4150 points."

Another person said: "The record set by 'Thousand Fantasy Swordsman' Li Xuan. At that time, he was a super alien and had just advanced to the 'Invisible Swordsman'. He came to the center point fortress to hunt enemies and practice actual combat. In a whole hot season, nine stars Jieyue has accumulated more than 18000 points."

"I also remembered that 4150 points is not only the record for the Midpoint Fortress, but also the highest single-month points record for all the fortresses on the Star Boundary Defense Line." Someone immediately agreed.

This is the first time Ji Xinghuo knows about this record.

However, the title of Thousand Fantasy Swordsman was well known to him.

Three years ago, Li Xuan was promoted to Heavenly King and became famous all over the world, becoming the thirteenth Heavenly King of the Asia-Pacific Community.

This Thousand Fantasy Swordsman also has a record, that is, he is the youngest among the 49 kings in the world. He is not yet fifty years old and ranks 45th on the list of kings.

Ji Xinghuo didn't want to break any records.

The other bounty hunters were very enthusiastic. Someone said to him: "Brother Ji, you are not bad either. And you have only been in Zhongdian Fortress for half a month. If you work hard, you might be able to break the record of Qian Huan Swordsman, so you can Totally famous.”

"Yup!"

"More than 1600 points in half a month, 3200 points in one month, not far from the record."

Everyone was talking nonsense.

"Li Xuan is the King of Heaven. How can the record be so easy to break?" Suddenly someone said, "If this record can be broken, doesn't it mean that Ji Xinghuo can also be promoted to the King of Heaven in the future? Do you believe it?"

The bounty hall suddenly became quiet, and the bounty hunters looked at each other.

They didn't think about it at first.

If Ji Xinghuo really breaks the record, doesn't it mean that Ji Xinghuo is stronger than Li Xuan back then, and he is so young that he can be promoted to the King of Heaven in the future?

That's the king!

Human beings have entered the star realm for nearly two centuries. Including those who have died, the total number of heavenly kings born is less than seventy.

If Ji Xinghuo is promoted to legend, it is very possible.

But the king...

The bounty hunters present found it difficult.

Li Xuan was able to be promoted to the King of Heaven not only because of the hunting records he set on the Star Boundary Defense Line, but also because of his series of records and achievements, showing his unique talent. The so-called points record in a single month is just a not-so-important deed in Li Xuan's legendary life.

"The King of Heaven is out of reach and is not something I can consider right now." Ji Xinghuo looked relaxed and said with a smile, "As for records, it is not my pursuit."

The atmosphere in the hall returned to cheerfulness.

"You are still young, you can give it a try."

"Yes."

Ji Xinghuo shook his head repeatedly.

At this time, a bounty hunter walked in at the door of the bounty hall. Someone immediately recognized him and shouted: "The thorn halberd is coming."

Ji Xinghuo also turned his head to look. He had heard about Jingji coming to Zhongdian Fortress for a long time, but he had never seen it.

The Thorn Halberd has a typical Shadow Blade appearance.

He is about thirty years old, with an ordinary face, black hair cut into a neat hairstyle, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a well-fitting dark leather armor, and two weapons, long and short, on his waist, one is a dagger and the other It was a sheathed scimitar, and there was a repeating crossbow on the back. His steps were light and swift, and he made no sound as he moved.

Ji Xinghuo had long heard from others that Jing Ji was a super alien.

Looking at it now, it really is.

Moreover, Jing Ji is not an ordinary shadow blade. He has integrated far more powers than ordinary aliens. He has already advanced to the professional template in advance and has mastered some of the Phantom Sound Master's powers.

Shadow Blade plus Phantom Sound Master are the very famous "Phantom Assassins" among advanced professions.

Come without a trace, go without a trace.

The Phantom Assassin is the most feared assassin.

Through the fluctuations of ether energy, Ji Xinghuo judged that Jing Ji's equipment was extraordinary and each piece was a super weapon.

Even the leather armor on his body is super equipment.

In addition to weapons and armor, Jing Ji wore two rings on his hands, and the boots on his feet also emitted ether fluctuations that were invisible to the naked eye.

"Rich man!"

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this luxurious equipment alone might be worth hundreds of millions.

However, Jingji has been hunting enemies at the Midpoint Fortress for several years, and most of the time he ranks first in points. The bounty income alone may be two or three billion, so it is not surprising that he can afford this equipment.

With a smile on his face, Jing Ji greeted the familiar bounty hunter as he walked.

It can be seen that he has good interpersonal relationships.

Jingji came to the counter, handed over today's loot, and quickly completed the settlement. The bounty and points were a lot more than he usually did, similar to Ji Xinghuo's today.

The staff updated the score board information. Jingji's points exceeded 1200 points and she was still ranked second.

He looked at the rankings and shook his head.

At this time, someone next to him whispered a reminder, and Jing Ji turned to look at Ji Xinghuo, took a quick look, and said in surprise: "Are you Ji Xinghuo? I have admired your name for a long time."

He came closer with a smile on his face and reached out his hand.

"It's me." Ji Xinghuo shook hands with him and let go, nodding: "I heard about Jingji's name when I first came to Zhongdian Fortress. I have admired him for a long time."

"Hahaha, they are all false names." Jing Ji said with a cheerful face, not caring at all: "You are the one who has the most limelight in Zhongpoint Fortress now. Alex and I were overpowered by you. It's like the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. , I am already a front-runner.”

"Brother Jing is too humble. I just took advantage of my career."

Ji Xinghuo did not dare to underestimate this phantom assassin at all. The fact that Jing Ji was able to hunt for several years at Zhongpoint Fortress without any harm showed his strength.

The reason why Jing Ji's trophies are not as good as his own is because of the difference in profession.

The Phantom Assassin is good at assassinations, not head-on combat. He can only kill two or three enemies at a time before getting away; but he is a marksman, relying on his absolute range advantage to eliminate an entire patrol in one go.

Different fighting methods determine the efficiency of hunting.

When the two of them fight, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose.

Jing Ji glanced at the dragon falcon and eagle bow behind Ji Xinghuo, shook his head and said: "Being able to hunt so many enemies is your ability. You don't have to be too modest."

Ji Xinghuo did not apologize any more.

"Alex will be here in a moment. After settling the points for the last month and getting the rewards, I'll treat you to a drink." Jingji extended the invitation.

Ji Xinghuo readily agreed, "Okay."

Not long after, the Red Devil Alex also arrived. Just as agreed in advance, he was only a few minutes away from Jingji.

Alex still had an indifferent expression as he handed in the loot and received the bounty.

Then his eyes swept over Jingji.

He noticed Ji Xinghuo next to Jingji, his eyes stayed for a few seconds, and asked in fluent Asian Communist dialect: "Ji Xinghuo?"

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

After Alex received the confirmation, he said nothing.

The staff of the bounty hall updated the score board again, and after counting Alex's points, he surpassed Jingji by three points and rose to second place this month.

However, it was still more than 400 points behind Ji Xinghuo.

Jing Ji raised his eyebrows, not satisfied with the result.

The bet between the two is to compare the points accumulated throughout the hot season. There is only the last month left. Currently, he is only ahead by more than 200 points, which is a bit dangerous.

If you lose to Alex, you will not only have to admit your defeat publicly, but you will also have to withdraw from the midpoint fortress.

As long as Alex is around, he can't come back.

It's okay to leave the Midpoint Fortress. There are dozens of fortresses along the astral defense line, and the Fomalhaut clan can be hunted anywhere.

But losing the bet would be too embarrassing.

One of them is from the Asian Communist Party and the other is from the American League. The outside world has raised the significance of this bet to the national level, which has exceeded personal glory.

"Three, please come with me."

Staff from the bounty office came over and invited Ji Xinghuo and the others into a reception room.

A man in military uniform was already waiting. He introduced himself as the director of the Bounty Office of Midpoint Fortress. Both Jingji and Alex were familiar with him and had met him many times.

"This is the list of rewards for this month. Please take a look at it."

Jing Ji took the list and asked, "Director Li, won't General Wang see us?"

The top three hero points every month will receive additional rewards and have the opportunity to be interviewed by the fortress commander, but this interview is not fixed. Generally, meeting the fortress commander means that you can get better discounts on weapons and equipment.

"General Wang has been busy with official duties recently and can't get away from it."

Director Li said seriously: "The general asked me to tell the three of you that we will invite you when the points are settled next month, and a few precious pieces of equipment will be added to the list."

Jing Ji's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Ji Xinghuo listened to the conversation between the two and browsed the list in his hand, which listed the additional rewards for the first place this month.

First, five million in cash;

Then there is a third-class hero medal. With this medal, you can get preferential treatment in most countries on the earth. If you are a citizen of the Asia-Pacific Community, you can receive a monthly subsidy of 15000 Asian dollars, which will be directly credited to the card and will be paid until your death.

Citizens’ aid has been increased five times!

Seeing this treatment, Ji Xinghuo thought that if he didn't pursue it anymore, just with this subsidy, he could just live and die and lie there for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that now he doesn't like this little money.

When hunting enemies, a silent arrow costs 15000 Asian dollars, and sometimes five or six silent arrows are shot in one battle.

Each person can only obtain the Level 3 Hero Medal once, the subsidy will not increase cumulatively, and there is no limit to the number of cash rewards.

At the end of the list is a list of weapons and equipment, with dozens of items in total.

These weapons and equipment are produced by the military's armament research units and are rarely released to the outside world. Their quality is higher than that of many companies' products.

Ji Xinghuo ranked first in points for the month and could purchase a piece of equipment from the list at a 20% discount.

There are swords, spears, daggers, armor and protective gear, bows, arrows and javelins.

There are also jewelry rings and necklaces.

Most of these weapons and equipment are super one-star, with prices ranging from 300 million to 1000 million. There are also two or three super two-star ones, but they are not suitable for me.

Ji Xinghuo read the information carefully, raised his head and said to Director Li, "I want to buy this."
