Xu Bei immediately went online to look up what this 【Chief Clan】 was.
But the internet had no clear entry explaining this obscure term—it was very mysterious.
However, various gaming forums kept mentioning the term repeatedly.
In summary…
“The Chief Clan is a mysterious, commercialized assassin guild in the game, full of experts. They specialize in technical boosting and also take assassination contracts. Their members’ IDs usually come with ‘Chief’ attached,” Xu Bei explained.
“An assassin guild,” Sang Biao said with a tone full of hidden meaning.
The chief assassins gradually approached, their footsteps ghostlike.
They wore black cloaks, iron masks covering their faces, and wielded twin scarlet katanas.
Just from their appearance, it was obvious they were experts—far nobler than the previous intruders.
Even their suits underneath were different from those of ordinary players. They wore pure black journalist suits, while ours were brown.
Their twin scarlet katanas were completely different in style from our plain weapons, like the difference between a 99,999 yuan limited edition and a 21 yuan street stall item.
But Xu Bei already understood why.
He was no longer the newbie who got stunned every time he saw something unfamiliar.
This was a game-specific 【skin】.
Skins replace the appearance of weapons and outfits but provide no attribute boosts—purely for looks.
Both 【outfit skins】 and 【weapon skins】 are obtained through game events, game clear rewards, or by spending money to open loot boxes and draw cards.
Skins from game events and clear rewards aren’t valuable because everyone has them.
If everyone has it, then no one really has it.
So only skins obtained through paid loot boxes and card draws are valuable, worthy, and a status symbol.
Does having paid skins mean they’re experts? Unknown.
Are they veteran players? Unknown.
But one thing’s for sure—they are definitely rich.
Right now, Xu Bei hated rich people the most.
“Clang clang! Clang clang!” The scarlet blades cut through the air.
In the next moment, two dual-sword chiefs suddenly charged, swiftly separating left and right, their dizzying footwork aiming to cut off Xu Bei.
No words were exchanged; they started fighting the moment they met.
Xu Bei knew these enemies were very different from the last clown assassins.
This was the assassin he had imagined—silent and ruthless.
The chief assassins felt nothing for their target; they existed only to end their life.
They were not like the previous lowly assassins—wannabe big streamers without skill, reduced to hitting newbies for a living.
Ultimately, it was all because Xu Bei lacked ability, wasn’t strong enough, so he got eliminated.
“Damn it.” Xu Bei met their attack head-on, fists colliding.
His bullet-fast punches struck against the young chief’s twin blade slashes, producing a series of “bang bang bang!” sounds.
In the first clash, fists met blades; surprisingly, the young chief was pushed back a step before steadying himself.
“!?” Even the young chief showed a flicker of surprise.
But the emotion on his face was fleeting.
They had already researched their target’s combat power thoroughly—watching all of Xu Bei’s streams overnight and knew this young streamer was extraordinary.
Especially the clip where Xu Bei instantly killed the female supervisor—they had replayed it in slow motion dozens of times for careful study.
So the invading chiefs were fully aware of Xu Bei’s strength and did not underestimate him in the slightest.
As for Xu Bei’s near-hack-like instant kill of the female supervisor, there hadn’t been a chance to talk about it before.
That incident had gone viral in the gaming community, causing a huge uproar. Naturally, many players reported it to both the streaming platform and game officials.
But neither platform nor officials issued any statements.
With so many reports, the officials surely knew and would investigate.
But no statement meant they concluded nothing was wrong—no cheating was involved.
Xu Bei himself never explained the matter, ignoring the raging discussions outside.
Could he really be a genius?
Though Xu Bei was a gaming novice, he was definitely a martial arts expert.
This was a feature of virtual games—if you’re a real-world fighting expert, you’re also a fighting expert in-game.
“Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!”
His knuckles slammed hard against the scarlet blades!
In the second round, the young chief was being pummeled by Xu Bei’s rapid punches to the point he could barely function.
Your grand entrances, flashy weapons, stylish outfits, and cool skins might look impressive, but you go down fast.
The scarlet twin blades could no longer be spun skillfully, only crossed defensively to block Xu Bei’s bullet-speed punches.
But the young chief’s turtle-like defensive playstyle really made it hard for Xu Bei to break through at first.
This also highlighted the intruder’s strength—he was no pushover.
Previous intruders had all been instantly slain by Xu Bei.
That the young chief could last several rounds meant he was an expert.
But compared to Xu Bei, he was still on a different level; his defeat was just a matter of time.
He probably didn’t realize the player he was facing wasn’t just one person, but an evil spirit’s follower.
“Heh!” Despite being pressured by the young streamer, the young chief sneered inwardly, unfazed.
Because his goal was to hold Xu Bei off!
As long as his boss finished off that little nobody female player, the two of them could then attack together from front and back.
No matter how strong Xu Bei was, he’d die then!
(Ding! Your teammate 【Great Chief】 has died.)
But during the fight, the young chief suddenly saw the disappearance of his boss in his view.
“What?” he shouted, turning to look at the Great Chief’s direction.
He saw the Great Chief already lying in front of the silver-haired masked female player, his body gradually dissolving into black smoke.
How could this be?
How could it be like this!?
The Great Chief was much stronger than himself! How did he die faster?
“You’re still distracted worrying about others?” Xu Bei grinned wildly, suddenly crouching, ready to unleash his signature diving belly punch.
“Yeah!” The young chief had seen this punch in videos—it was Xu Bei’s close-range killer move.
The young chief immediately swung both blades downward behind his back in anticipation!
Good move! Good technique!
But both blades missed, hitting only the floor.
Because Xu Bei’s crouch was a power-charged jump, not a forward dive.
“Thud!” A crack sounded from the bridge of the nose.
Xu Bei soared up, delivering a massive overhead punch straight to the young chief’s face.
The punch drained the young chief’s knees of strength, forcing him to collapse to his knees.
Xu Bei landed and mercilessly followed up with a whip kick.
In an instant, the enemy’s head was kicked like a ball, and the young chief’s remaining health was completely wiped out.
