The One Meeting King Yama Is You

"Is there any difference?"

Yes, that was the most crucial question.

For players who did not join a faction, what difference did it make compared to before?

The system answered this question with rare enthusiasm:

"Specifically, from now on, all dungeons will be team dungeons! The importance of synergy between team members goes without saying! Of course, the rewards will be much richer than before. Moreover, if faction players group up together to enter, they will receive unexpected bonuses!"

If it was just those rewards from the last team dungeon...

Could that even be considered an increase?

Cheng Shuili really didn't care for those scraps, but the scope of the rewards had indeed expanded.

And it didn't stop there:

"Future highway merges will also become more frequent. Once players who join a faction work together to raise the faction level, members can enjoy more features! For instance, free highway merges between faction members, or the ability for a faction leader to summon all members to 'rescue the emperor' when in danger! That is a term from you humans; you should understand what it means."

Can they even rescue the emperor?

Cheng Shuili’s expression turned solemn, and she no longer intended to listen to what the system was saying. She pulled out a Designated Player Duel Card and typed in the name Soft Little Puff.

No matter what, she had to teach Broken Iron a lesson first!

The card was used successfully!

Cheng Shuili specifically dug a dagger out from the Abyss Ring, intending to make the opponent lower their guard.

This time, Su Rui had no objections. In fact, the moment the scenery shifted before her eyes, she ran out of the driver's cab carrying the Youlan: "Are we killing the one from last night?"

She was truly even more excited than Cheng Shuili.

Cheng Shuili nodded. After the scenery outside the window stabilized, both of them were startled. There were actually two vehicles parked on the highway!

One was a truck, while the other had obviously been upgraded many times to the point where its original appearance was no longer recognizable.

Cheng Shuili had a flash of inspiration, and a bold idea instantly formed in her mind: could this Soft Little Puff be the one who helped Broken Iron camp the position with a Designated Player Duel Card?

Did she stumble upon the truth by accident?

Cheng Shuili sneered and turned the Ring of the Hidden on her finger, activating the thirty-minute 【Deep Dive】 status.

She would finish off Soft Little Puff first, then see who the other person was before deciding whether to kill them!

Su Rui stepped out of the car in a carefree manner. Her mission was simple: help Cheng Shuili draw fire.

The car door was left open, and she stood behind it so that she would have cover in case the opponent actually opened fire.

Su Rui watched as Cheng Shuili’s figure vanished, then took a deep breath: "Soft Little Puff! Get out here!"

The two people inside the luxury vehicle were both startled, exchanged glances, and remained silent.

Calls came from outside again: "Soft Little Puff, you dare to do it but don't dare to admit it, right? I don't want to hurt innocent bystanders, so if you're smart, get out here immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me!"

It sounded like a vendetta, and one specifically naming Soft Little Puff at that.

Broken Iron had originally wondered if the Crow had come knocking, but if the opponent was coming, it would surely be for him, not for Soft Little Puff. It was likely a real vendetta.

Thinking of this, he relaxed quite a bit and looked at Soft Little Puff with a hint of amusement, "You kid, still have love debts to women out there?"

Soft Little Puff’s face went pale, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Tie, don't joke around... How would I dare! I don't recognize this voice!"

Su Rui outside was growing impatient and shouted again, her tone becoming even more irritable: "Coward! If you don't come out, don't blame me when your car is gone!"

Broken Iron frowned.

He was lying low to avoid trouble, but while he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, that woman outside was too arrogant. Besides, Soft Little Puff was working under him now, and it would be a loss of face if he were too cowardly.

He patted Soft Little Puff on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go out and see. What are you afraid of? I'm here."

The two stepped out of the car one after the other.

Broken Iron had a sturdy build and stood there with quite an imposing air. Combined with Soft Little Puff, who was also a fit man, the two standing together were quite intimidating.

Broken Iron carefully looked at the vehicle next to Su Rui. Seeing it was an off-road vehicle that still showed its original shape and clearly hadn't been upgraded many times, he looked down on them even more. He shouted in a rough voice: "Where did this crazy woman come from, and what are you screeching about? What business do you have with my brother?"

Su Rui remained unmoved and continued to play the part of the furious avenger, aiming her spearhead directly at Soft Little Puff: "Who are you? I'm looking for Soft Little Puff! What business is it of yours? Tell him to get out here and talk for himself! What, did you find a backer and now you're acting like a turtle in its shell?"

Soft Little Puff was scolded until his face turned blue and white, and he couldn't help but get annoyed. Just as he was about to say something, he was pushed back by Broken Iron.

Broken Iron was also getting irritated by being called a "softie" and a "turtle in its shell" by Su Rui repeatedly. He was, after all, in the top five of the leaderboard; when had he ever suffered such treatment?

Whether or not he helped his brother was secondary; he mainly felt his own face had been slighted.

Broken Iron stepped forward, his tone filled with threats: "I don't care what grudges you have, he is my man now. If you're smart, get lost immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite."

At this point, he started acting domineering again: "I don't blame you for not knowing who I am, so I'll tell you now. Have you heard of Broken Iron? I am the third-ranked player on the leaderboard! If you're smart, get lost right now, and I'll pretend today's incident never happened. If I actually start moving, you..."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Su Rui.

Before he could say anything more disgusting, a dagger appeared out of thin air, precisely and ruthlessly slashing across Soft Little Puff’s throat!

Broken Iron’s harsh words hadn't even finished; the arrogance and threat on his face instantly solidified, turning into extreme horror.

He was less than half a step away from Soft Little Puff and could even feel the sensation of the warm liquid splashing onto his face.

He whipped his head around, trying to see clearly what had happened, but it was already too late.

In the next second, a long blade pierced through his heart from behind.

Cheng Shuili stood behind Broken Iron and raised her hand to pull out the Night Hunt. She felt pained using the Night Hunt to kill someone like this.

She pulled a few tissues from the Abyss Ring to wipe the blood off the Night Hunt.

It shouldn't have ended so quickly, but given such a good opportunity...

Besides, Broken Iron was a player with a territory. If he abandoned his vehicle and just wanted to flee for his life, Cheng Shuili would have to declare war and lead the Black Feather members to attack his territory.

The situation would become complicated then; it was better to settle it directly now.

Broken Iron’s lips trembled as he turned his head, struggling to see the person behind him clearly, "Cr... ow...?"

Cheng Shuili didn't act coy, drawing out her voice: "It’s me. Remember to report my name when you meet King Yama, though I doubt it will be of any use. After all, the one meeting King Yama right now is you."
