I Maximize My Item-dropping Rate

Chapter 34: Big Fish

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The reason why he had such doubts was mainly because the new geniuses on the list had a high chance of being targeted by bounty hunters.

For example, Chu Daoxi, who was ranked first on the list, had a generous bounty. But the difficulty of killing him was also extremely high. Ordinary bounty hunters were just sending themselves to their deaths. Therefore, very few bounty hunters had designs on Chu Daoxi.

In comparison, there were undoubtedly many new geniuses on the list that were easier to kill. Although the bounty was not as high as the top geniuses, it was not small either. Most importantly, it was relatively easy to kill.

Therefore, the first target of many bounty hunters would be this new genius on the list.

Now, no one could guarantee that Cen Qingci had been targeted by the bounty hunters. After all, with the powerful disguise ability of bounty hunters, it was very difficult to see through their disguise before they attacked.

Perhaps there were already bounty hunters hiding in the crowd, staring at their prey.

Xiao Shi’s gaze swept across the crowd.

“Perhaps... I can give it a try!”

He raised his hand and took out a talisman from his storage bag. It was the Enemy Seeking Talisman. The function of this talisman was to detect hostility. As long as he stuck this [Enemy Seeking Talisman] on his body, he could detect all the hostility within 300 meters.

This hostility did not have to be directed at Xiao Shi to be detected.

As long as there was hostility, no matter who it was directed at, it would be detected once it was within 300 meters.

Of course, this was only effective for those at the Martial Entry-Level and below. It was ineffective against existences above the Martial Entry-Level.

Xiao Shi quietly pasted the Enemy Seeking Talisman on his right leg. A light flashed in his eyes. His gaze immediately swept across the crowd. At a glance, he saw a middle-aged man in plain clothes with a blank face. It was very difficult for him to attract anyone’s attention. Above his head was a huge red ball of light.

As long as such a red ball of light appeared above their heads, it meant that there was hostility at this moment.

The bigger the ball of light was, the stronger the hostility.

Judging from the size of the ball of light above his head, his hostility was extremely strong. At the same time, his gaze was completely focused on Cen Qingci. It was obvious that his hostility was directed at her.

Although Xiao Shi could not be certain that the other party was a bounty hunter just because of this, he also realized that something was wrong with this person.

Xiao Shi calmly walked through the crowd. When he passed by the middle-aged man, he silently left a mark on his body.

“Let’s see if he’s a bounty hunter.”

In the time that followed, Xiao Shi paid close attention to this person’s every move. As long as this person was within three miles of him, Xiao Shi could sense him through the mark. Even if he was not in his line of sight, he could sense his movements at any time.

After some observation, Xiao Shi was even more certain that there was something wrong with this person. He discovered that this blank-faced middle-aged man basically appeared at the place where Cen Qingci would appear.

It was just like how Xiao Shi was paying attention to his every move. He was also paying attention to Cen Qingci’s every move.

Previously, Xiao Shi was only suspicious. But now, he felt that this person was most likely a bounty hunter.

“No wonder there were bounty hunters who managed to escape unscathed after successfully assassinating someone in Golden Cloud City in the past. This disguise... is indeed shocking!”

Xiao Shi was very emotional about this.

If not for the Enemy Seeking Talisman, even if he suspected that Cen Qingci had already been targeted by the bounty hunters, it would be impossible for him to find this middle-aged man in the crowd.

Not only did the other party disguise himself as an ordinary person, but the most terrifying thing was that his cultivation was hidden under the disguise. If it were not for the mark that Xiao Shi had condensed on his body, he would not have been able to sense the fluctuations of his blood and qi.

This was a bounty hunter at Martial Entry-Level Eight!

“A Martial Entry-Level Eight martial artist killing a Martial Level Seven. He already has an advantage in terms of cultivation. If it’s a sneak attack, the chances of winning will be higher!”

Xiao Shi analyzed in his heart.

The bounty hunters of Senluo had always been known for their assassinations. They did not care about morals.

In their eyes, there was only killing. Killing the target by any means necessary. They would do anything.

At the same time, they were extremely cautious. Even if they were in the lead in terms of cultivation, before they attacked, they would still observe and find the most suitable time to attack.

It was fine if they did not make a move, but once they did, they would definitely kill!

Through the mark, Xiao Shi was able to grasp the other party’s actions. He was also analyzing if he could kill this bounty hunter.

In Xiao Shi’s eyes, this person was undoubtedly a big fish! Especially for Xiao Shi, who did not have a suitable target to kill, this big fish could be said to be quite fat. After all, if he wanted to kill and drop the loot, he could only kill those who caused trouble in the city.

However, such people were very rare to begin with. It was very difficult to encounter one. Even if he encountered one, it could be a martial artist with relatively low cultivation.

Just like the Martial Entry-Level Four martial artist he had killed previously. After killing him, only a bottle of useless healing liquid dropped.

What Xiao Shi lacked now was heavenly treasures.

What he lacked were medicinal pills that could increase his aptitude and comprehension and speed up his cultivation.

What he lacked was a killing weapon that could allow him to unleash greater strength in battle!

These things are obtained by killing powerful Martial Entry-Level martial artists.

Now, this bounty hunter was undoubtedly a suitable target to kill! With his Martial Entry-Level Eight cultivation, as long as he killed him, the probability of dropping a high-quality item was very high.

Perhaps it would drop what he needed.

This made Xiao Shi a little restless. However, he was cautious. If he wasn’t certain, he wouldn’t have attacked so easily.

“Martial Entry-Level Eight... I’ve never fought him before. As a bounty hunter, his combat strength must be stronger than ordinary Martial Entry-Level Eights. And my advantage is that I can attack in secret. If he was unprepared and I attacked with all my might, I might have a chance to kill him directly.”

Xiao Shi thought about it repeatedly, weighing the pros and cons. At the same time, he considered many possible situations. Based on these possible situations, he thought of the best response.

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Shi concluded in his heart and felt that he had an 80% chance of killing him. “I can try!”

Killing intent flickered in his eyes. Although he had a steady personality, he knew that not everything could be guaranteed.

An 80% chance was already worth him trying.

After making a decision, Xiao Shi began to make detailed arrangements. Since he had decided to kill him, he had to ensure success. There was no reason not to eat this fish that was about to be delivered to his mouth.
