Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Guarding Yao, Waiting for the Wolf_1

Lu Yao thought she must have heard wrong and reacted after a moment of stunned silence: "You...You’re not joking, are you?"

"Would I joke at a time like this?" Mu You asked.

"Emmm..."

Lu Yao couldn’t respond for a moment and weirdly muttered: "At a time like this, isn’t it usually themselves who suggest acting as bait..."

Setting aside gender, wasn’t she the one with the higher level between them? That meant in combat she would be the main force against the werewolf.

Normally, shouldn’t the auxiliary act as bait to cover the main force? But now, she, the main force, would be bait, while the auxiliary would lie in wait...

Did this team logic make sense?

"What use would I be as bait? The werewolf’s primary target is you," Mu You confidently asserted.

The werewolf did resent him, but that was nothing compared to the animosity it had towards Lu Yao.

Because even if the werewolf couldn’t kill him instantly, it wouldn’t be in any danger and could slowly take revenge later.

But it was different with Lu Yao. According to her, if the werewolf couldn’t kill her quickly, she would definitely be taken down by his organization.

And capturing Lu Yao, with her stealth ability, how difficult would that be? If the werewolf wasn’t in a desperate situation, it wouldn’t resort to attacking ordinary players, the most foolish method.

Therefore, as long as Lu Yao shows herself, the werewolf would also appear! Even if it guessed that it was a trap, it would have to spring it because this was almost its only chance to kill Lu Yao!

"Don’t worry, when you act as bait, I will be invisible at your side. As soon as the werewolf appears, I will immediately help block its attack. I promise you won’t be in any danger!" Mu You assured her.

His confidence stemmed from being able to see the werewolf’s attributes through the Omniscient Crystal when they crossed paths: Level 9 Werewolf (Deer Eater), Strength 18, Agility 25, Intelligence 9, Constitution 24, HP 2400, Magic Power 900.

It was clear that the werewolf were mainly investing points in agility and constitution, considering strength, while intelligence hadn’t been considered. It was obviously following the melee brawler path.

However, even with these brawling attributes, it would be totally crushed by Mu You’s attributes, especially when he put on his vampire skin and gained the amplification from the Night King’s talent.

So, as long as they were fighting at night, the present Mu You could easily beat up this werewolf, even without using magic.

"Well..." Lu Yao was still a little hesitant. After all, this kind of plan was as good as putting her life in someone else’s hands.

"Should we sign a contract again?"

Mu You also felt a bit helpless. He didn’t want to lay out all of his abilities, and even if he did, she would probably not believe him. After all, it sounded too unbelievable: a newcomer to the game had combat power exceeding players who had been at it for more than six months? Too far-fetched!

When Mu You started discussing the contract, Lu Yao grew somewhat trusting. She agonized for a moment, then gave in finally: "Sigh, forget it, I’ll trust you just this once... But let it be clear, if you cross me, I will turn against you!!"

"Alright."

Mu You immediately confirmed: "Where shall we meet?"

"In the park behind the southeastern gate of the Xinshui neighborhood. According to my current investigation, the werewolf’s residence should be nearby. The place is open enough for it to see. We’ll meet under the misshapen tree in the southeast corner of the park. And the time... three hours from now, I need some time to prepare."

"Fine."

Mu You had no objections. The Xinshui neighborhood that Lu Yao was talking about was on another street over ten kilometers from here. They would need time to get there. And he would also need to wait a little longer for the darkness to grow deeper...

...

Three hours later, at eleven o’clock in the night.

Mu You switched to his Watchman avatar and appeared on time at Xinshui Park, beneath the appointed misshapen tree. Vivian perched on his shoulder, although she remained in stealth mode.

He didn’t wait long under the tree when he saw a small shadow sneakily appear at the distant intersection, but it didn’t approach immediately. It stayed in the distance observing for a while, rang his phone to confirm it was him, and only then dared to approach.

Mu You didn’t find Lu Yao’s cautiousness amusing. Unlike him, she had long been pursued by a top organization, which had forged a personality careful and cautious above all. This was something worth more respect than mockery. It was something he could learn from.

The revealed Lu Yao still wore her usual appearance of a little girl.

However, this time Mu You could directly see her attributes and ID.

"Level 9 Wizard’s Apprentice (Little Demon), Strength 9, Agility 29, Intelligence 29, Constitution 9, HP 900, Magic Power 2900, current avatar: Little witch..."

In comparison to the werewolf, her attribute points were similarly extreme, paying no attention to strength and constitution, all points were assigned to agility and intelligence. In the MMO context, this was a ’mage-assassin’ type of build.

"Are you sure you can handle this?"

Now that they’d met face to face, Lu Yao couldn’t help but ask again.

"I can."

Mu You responded casually, but the more he did so, the more it emphasized his confidence.

After examining his eyes, and convinced that he was not bluffing, Lu Yao nodded, "Alright, I’ve disabled all the nearby surveillance. We can start now!"

She wasn’t an indecisive person. So what if they took some risks? She had been living in constant fear for the past six months. If they could defeat the great enemy—the werewolf—tonight, it would all be worth it.

"No rush, let’s wait a bit more." But at this moment, it was Mu You who called for a pause.

"Hm? What are we waiting for?" Lu Yao asked with confusion.

"I checked the calendar earlier, our luck is terrible today. It advises against going out. Tomorrow is an auspicious day. Let’s wait till after midnight to take action, for better luck." Mu You replied.

Lu Yao was perplexed: "???"

Mu You had, of course, made it all up on the spot. In reality, he was simply waiting for the night to get darker.

He had already activated his vampire skin when they arrived. Now, all of his attributes were boosted by 80%, but it was not yet at their maximum. Based on his observations over the last few days, the power boost from ’Night King’ could only reach its maximum of 100% between midnight and 2 am. So, it would be best for them to make their move after midnight.

One hour wasn’t a long time and quickly passed.

"Alright, let’s get started."

As soon as it turned midnight, Mu You immediately spoke up.

Now, the boosting effect of the ’Night King’ had reached 100%. His current attributes were: Strength 22, Agility 44, Intelligence 66, Constitution 22.

These attributes were equivalent to that of a Level 18 or 19 player, which made him no weaker than the werewolf Sanctuary Guard. In addition, he had the true damage of the Vampire Claws as well as a fourfold special attack against summoned creatures. Even if the werewolf did summon the Sanctuary Guard, he was not the least bit intimidated.

"I didn’t expect, you really believe in this..."

Lu Yao gave Mu You a strange glance. She originally thought that Mu You was just joking around, but he really did wait until midnight to begin their operation.

"Let’s start."

Mu You didn’t say much else. By this point, he had already put on his Invisibility Cloak and activated his vampire skin.

Lu Yao only nodded her approval. She then walked to the edge of the park, near the road for the nearby residential blocks, and took out a pink potion.

Upon opening the bottle, the potion automatically evaporated into the air and quickly began to diffuse throughout the area, covering a few kilometers around them in just a moment.

Mu You took a sniff. The potion had a faint fragrance that was barely noticeable unless one paid specific attention, but it seemed to have no effect on him.

"What is this?"

"It’s a potion exclusively used within the Ten Commandments. It’s called ’Love Potion’. It puts people without magical powers in the surrounding area to sleep. Ordinary people won’t understand, but when the werewolf smells it, he will definitely suspect that I’ve arrived." Lu Yao explained.

"I see..."

They didn’t talk any further after that.

Lu Yao kept walking back and forth by the side of the road, with her magic wand hidden in her sleeve, all the while pretending to be on a leisurely stroll. From her steps, it looked like she was calm, but she was very nervous inside.

"Hey, you’re still there, right?"

"I’m here." Mu You’s voice sounded next to her.

"Oh."

A moment later...

"Why aren’t you talking?"

"...."

Mu You was speechless. Did she really need to be so insecure?

They waited awkwardly like this for almost an hour.

Suddenly, trouble started!

"Swoosh!"

A sound of breaking air abruptly came from the direction of Lu Yao as an underhanded hook was hidden by the grass and flew towards her.

This attack was both fast and sudden! By the time Lu Yao responded and turned her head, there was no space left for her to dodge.

Mu You, standing on the side, watched as Lu Yao was caught by the Chain Claws and pulled away. However, he didn’t rush to reveal himself. He observed the direction from where the hook had come, then activated his pocket watch.
