Chapter 27:

The second Xing Ye finished speaking, the door behind Ms. Li was kicked open.

At that moment, Ms. Li was leaning on the door and Xing Ye was standing in front of her, close to losing consciousness. The force of Cao Qian's kick was very strong, directly sending the door, Ms. Li, and Xing Ye flying out all at once before she heaved her gun, planting a bullet right in Ms. Li's forehead.

She was too fast, giving Ms. Li no time at all to react. She died just like that, silently, with a bullet pierced through her skull.

Cao Qian put away her gun and checked her phone with a satisfied smile. "Not bad, I got a thousand points. I just need to kill another 50 and I'll be a high level player."

Xing Ye: "..."

He started to understand how she got those 200,000 points even with her rotten luck and temperament.

She was even more decisive than Xing Ye in her actions. Even when Ms. Li was already kicked to the floor, helpless, Cao Qian didn't even consider trying to get information from her. She just directly killed her without the slightest hesitation.

"Aren't you worried that she might have some critical information?" Xing Ye slowly crawled up. After Ms. Li died, the effects of her special QR code immediately disappeared. He could finally think properly now that he wasn't agitated or dizzy.

"Finding clues and solving the riddles is your job, I'm just in charge of firepower."

"That's true." Xing Ye stood up, his waist aching a little.

Cao Qian's kick was too strong and sent them flying with the door. Xing Ye was standing the farthest away from the door so he should've gotten the least damage, but his waist still hurt

terribly.

When he pulled out his phone to add Ms. Li's Wechat, Xing Ye took the opportunity to quickly send Cao Qian a text, telling her to attack the English teacher's office door in a few minutes. After sending the message, he used threats and intimidation to force Ms. Li's back against the door while also taking the chance to make her use up all her special QR codes and starting abilities. That way, Ms. Li would have no way to guard against Cao Qian's attack.

Now he knew QR codes were divided into two categories: prop types, such as Cao Qian's gun, and special ability types.

Once transformed, prop type special QR codes could not be reverted and before it's depleted, but it wouldn't influence the use of other special QR codes. In comparison, ability type special QR codes could only be used one at a time. For example, the prolonged mood influencing ability Ms. Li used on Xing Ye was very strong, allowing Xing Ye to gradually fall under her control. However, its shortcoming was that she couldn't use other ability type QR codes in that timeframe.

That means that if a player used a prop type QR code first, they could use an ability type QR code as well. However, if they used an ability type QR code first, then before the effect disappears, they could not use another special QR code, including prop type QR codes.

Starting skills, however, could be used in conjunction with special QR codes.

Xing Ye sniffed the perfume which had fallen onto the ground and found that it no longer did anything. Although prop type QR codes could be superimposed with ability types and lasted for a long time, it had one shortcoming- it could be stolen. After changing into a prop, anybody who got it could use it, whereas ability type QR codes could only be used by its holder.

The perfume was Ms. Li's starting ability, not a prop. Could turning perfume into an incapacitating agent count as a medicinal skill? Her starting skill couldn't just be that. She probably also had the ability to use it for both healing and poison. Cao Qian was right- this person's ability was too dangerous. Letting her live would be too risky.
