Reign of the Hunters (200+)

Chapter 323 & 324

With the rapid development of Green Hill's Moon business, staying only in the Eastern Continent will severely limit its growth. This was why he immediately moved to Hero City when the new patch was released. This enabled him to receive requests from players from all four continents.

And Green Hill's Moon continued, "They bought information of players from me. Information like their levels, equipment, skills, pets, and their current location. I thought of it simply as a group of players seeking revenge on someone, so I did not ask questions. Their pay was quite high as well. But requests like this kept coming. I would get dozens of them a day. I was starting to feel that something was up, but nothing was happening, so I did not look further into this matter."

Green Hill's Moon let out a long sigh, "But things began to change on the 4th day the patch was released. The players whose information that I sold were dropping from the leaderboard left and right. I was shocked, and I sent some of my people to find out what happened. It seems that those players were assassinated by a group of unknown assailants."

"They were very discreet, and were doing a very good job in hiding their identities. They did not entirely zero a player, but they would hunt a victim down until his or her level had dropped by 10, loot all their good gear, and disappear."

"Won't the players who were attacked receive notification about their assailants' identity?"

Ye Ci voiced out her question, "They were all from major guilds. Why do these guilds not fight back?"

"Have you heard of August Cherry?" Green Hill's Moon smiled.

August Cherry?! Ye Ci was shocked. The name was so familiar to her, and yet she could not remember who the person was, "No, I haven't."

"She's a Higher-tier Tailor who was previously not well known. But she found a limited edition blueprint."

"What sort of blueprint?"

"Have you heard of something called a 'Secret Cloak'?" asked Green Hill's Moon.

Ye Ci would of course know what it was. The cloak was sold at the price of as high as 1 million gold in her last life, and only a hundred of them existed in the game.

It was a normal accessory item, but it had the stats that were said to be game breaking.

It could hide the name of a player's would-be assassin.

This meant that a player who was attacked by players equipped with Secret Cloaks could not identify their assailants, and not even the system would reveal their names.

Of course, it was a knowledge from Ye Ci's last life, and she could not answer his question truthfully, "Nope. What is it?"

Green Hill's Moon explained the function of the Secret Cloak to Ye Ci and said, "These cloaks were made by August Cherry. She's a member of Golden Era."

Ye Ci was stunned. She did not know that August Cherry was part of Golden era, "This is a bug! If August Cherry can make one for every member of Golden Era, we won't be able to fight against them at all!"

"Something like this would of course have a number limit." Green Hill's Moon could find himself relating with Ye Ci's surprise, "Only a hundred of them can be produced from that blueprint. Which means that there can only be 100 Secret Cloaks in Fate."

Ye Ci found herself frowning, "What are the classes of these assassins?"

"Most of them are Rogues, and sometimes a few Hunters or Rangers. They are always classes with high speed and are very hard to deal with. They would always attack with 10 players who were working well as a team. It seems that they have been practicing for a long time. That's probably why very few of their victims were able to escape. I think even you would have trouble against such an attack." and Ye Ci knew very well that Green Hill's Moon was simply analyzing the situation objectively.
