Chapter 619: Don't Go for Stealth, Go for Dynasty Warriors Style

"Boss (cutie)!" At that moment, a little girl's avatar lit up on Boss Fang's communication jade via Penguin Chat. Opening it, he saw, "Why is this Assassin's Creed so hard?! (husky super fierce)"

Comparatively speaking, although the monsters in Resident Evil were strong, players at least had guns and RPGs. Plus, the T-virus monsters had always been brainless. As long as one didn't play on the highest difficulty, clearing the game didn't pose too much of an obstacle.

But Assassin's Creed was different. People were everywhere, soldiers were everywhere, and one wrong move meant getting mobbed. There were no guns, no cannons.

T-virus monsters could afford to be brainless, but real soldiers certainly could not. After a few rounds of this...

Su Tianji: "Quick! Start a livestream right now! Otherwise, I'm quitting the game, I'm not playing anymore!"

Soon, another message arrived.

Nalan Mingxue: "(husky disdain) Did you add special effects to that teaser CG?"

Su Tianji's experience livestreaming to the broad audience this time was clearly terrible, so she even resorted to threatening to quit to force Boss Fang to stream.

This was just ridiculous, how could anyone even keep streaming!

...

"Try it yourself if you're so capable!" Irina was very angry.

By the counter of the new shop, a large crowd had gathered.

As the shop owner, Boss Fang didn't want people to think he had released a trailer packed with special effects, only for them to find absolutely no such results when playing it themselves.

So, he found a seat, booted up the game, and casually turned on the Boss Fang exclusive big-screen livestream.

"Hey, look! The boss started a livestream!"

Back in the old shop, almost everyone, including Su Tianji, Jiang Xiaoyue, and Song Qingfeng, was sitting on the sofas in the lounge area. Come to think of it, Boss Fang hadn't livestreamed in a long time.

As a true assassin, Irina casually ordered a portion of spicy sticks. Regardless of how the shop's games were, the spicy sticks were always delicious. She began to eat them blissfully while watching.

Of course, she came to watch a joke. She didn't believe anyone could surpass her in the artistry of being an assassin.

The elf girl Sera also held a cup of milk tea, watching from behind.

The entire Golden Gryffin Knights had rushed over as well, their faces clouded with gloom. Clearly, they had been deeply poisoned by this so-called Assassin's Creed. Now, not only did they not know how to play as assassins, but they couldn't even play as knights anymore.

If they had known earlier, they might as well have gone to try the new cultivation realm from the Duran Workshop.

By this time, Boss Fang had entered the game and was ready to begin.

Altaïr stood atop a high tower, overlooking the entire city like a true eagle.

"Huh?! Where is this?!" Boss Fang's map was clearly different from everyone else's. Many people were only at their first assassination at this point, where the surroundings consisted mostly of low-rise civilian areas with no guards on the rooftops.

But Boss Fang's map...

Looking down, it was a massive harbor district. Many houses bore dome-shaped Byzantine architectural styles, and archers were hidden in the blind spots of every roof. The closer one looked toward a certain direction, the denser they became.

Not only that, but Templars were stationed along many main thoroughfares and ships. This was entirely different from the previously crowded layout where Templars were sparse.

Gazing into the distance, about a dozen Templars were surrounding a few scholars dressed in white robes, shouting harshly at them.

"...!? Why are there so many?!" Sera was shocked.

"Where is this?!" Irina also cried out in surprise. She stopped her hand mid-bite into a spicy stick and stared intently at the screen.

You see, when they played, crowds of people walking to and fro were visible everywhere, allowing them to blend in and hide at any moment. There were no hidden sentries on the roofs, let alone so many Templar soldiers.

Boss Fang's game progression was naturally different. At this point, due to several consecutive assassinations and the fact that the assassins wore white robes similar in style to the scholars, the Templars had already begun to suspect the scholars of harboring assassins.

Looking from afar, one could even see a scholar being hacked to the ground.

"Huh?! Why did the boss walk over there?!" They soon saw Boss Fang arrive in front of the pier.

"What kind of assassin is that?!" Irina's face was practically twisted with anger. The previous tutorial had at least taught her how to enter the opponent's visual blind spots. Even without stealth, she had at least remained hidden. Yet, she actually saw Boss Fang walking straight over?!

A series of sharp, piercing sounds broke through the air.

The archers on the rooftops had clearly loosed their hidden arrows, and more than one.

The biting chill of that wind felt as though it could make people shiver even across the screen.

At the same time, a Templar soldier in front of him had already drawn his blade and charged forward.

"Do you even know how to be an assassin?!" Irina shouted loudly.

She genuinely felt this guy was an idiot.

Boss Fang looked impatient. On the screen, Altaïr spun his body, his hidden blade sliding forward slightly. Utilizing the momentum of his turn, he crossed paths with the soldier. The Templar clutched his neck tightly, as if he hadn't even reacted yet, while blood flowed uncontrollably through his fingers.

Two more Templars rushed up. On the screen, Fang Qi manipulated Altaïr to shift his footing, intercepting with his left hand and slashing with his right. The two soldiers collapsed almost simultaneously.

Altaïr barely paused his steps, continuing toward his objective.

From behind, a Templar approached silently, then fiercely raised his two-handed sword high.

Altaïr turned and parried, channeling the counter to drive the blade straight into the opponent's chest!

"!!??" Not only were the elf girl Sera and several knights from the Gryffin Knights stunned, but even the few assassins watching from behind were dumbfounded.

This fluid, seamless killing technique, this elegant pace that felt like a leisurely stroll in a courtyard...!?

Wasn't this exactly the same as the trailer video?!

Boss Fang spoke as he slaughtered: "Don't go for assassinations, go full Musou. There isn't that much time in life for you to achieve perfect synchronization. If you hate him, just hack him. Killing all the witnesses is the perfect assassination. What's the use of stealth? You'll still get caught. If you get caught, hack him. If you can't hack him, throw flying knives. Worst case scenario, you lose synchronization. If you haven't even lost synchronization, how dare you say you've played..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a field of corpses already lay on the ground. Bodies were everywhere, and a group of surrounding Templars rushed in as reinforcements.

Boss Fang was still hacking away by himself in the middle of the crowd.

Everyone: "..."

Who the hell plays an assassin like you?! Irina was about to have a breakdown.

"The second tenet of the Assassin's Creed is to hide oneself. Violating the creed like this will definitely cause a desynchronization!" Irina shouted loudly.

Assassin's Creed didn't just cause desynchronization through death; actions completely contrary to the character himself would also cause desynchronization.

But immediately after, she discovered that once all the Templars were slaughtered, a prompt appeared on Boss Fang's screen: Mission Accomplished.

"!!??" Irina stared at the screen, utterly dumbfounded.

The mission was accomplished?! This worked too?!

Several assassins wanted to cry but had no tears.

Irina felt that what the boss played was Assassin's Creed, while she...

Taking a bite of her spicy stick, what she played might as well be called Assassin's Spicy Stick...

At this time, some people who hadn't had the chance to watch the livestream yet, like Ning Bi who had just finished playing and come out, messaged in the Assassin's Creed Penguin group: "Why is this Assassin's Creed so hard? Perfect synchronization is also so difficult. A newbie begging for guidance, how do you all perform assassinations?"

Song Qingfeng posted a screenshot of Boss Fang's livestream, showing a ground full of corpses beneath Altaïr's feet: "Perfect assassination."

"Pfft—!"
