This poor red-named player hadn't even had a chance to use the "Small Bottle of Life Potion" he hurriedly took out before he was almost beaten to death.

"Ding!"

The other two red-named players beside him finally remembered to fight back in surprise. With a crisp sound, they simultaneously blocked Yunyou's pursuit with their daggers.

After seeing the red names on Yunyou's head, their expressions became even more astonished. They had initially thought they were the only red-named players in the game, but they didn't expect to encounter other red names.

Of course, everyone had the same thought in their minds.

"Who are you exactly...?"

"Want to find out? Finish the fight first."

Yunyou interrupted the other person coldly, raising his dagger. He easily broke through the defense of the two people and attacked them again.

"Wait! Ye Yunyou!"

At this moment, Qingyu miraculously wasn't scared by the scene. Instead, she directly intervened.

"You can't kill him! You're already red-named!"

"...Sister, are you serious?"

Yunyou couldn't help but laugh at Qingyu's actions. "What are you thinking? You come out here to plead for these few people who were intending to assault you? They just killed someone in front of you earlier. What did those unfortunate guys do wrong? Do you really understand that you're now pleading for murderers?"

"I..."

Qingyu hesitated in response to Yunyou's question. She had made the decision not to let Yunyou kill anyone anymore, which was why she instinctively stood up when he attacked. However, Yunyou's words were undeniable facts.

"Although they killed someone... as long as we give them to the police, it'll be fine! You can't... you can't just kill them like this!"

Yunyou felt that, with his intelligence, it was probably difficult to communicate normally with this girl.

"...Are you sure you don't want me to do anything?"

"...I'm sure."

"Then I'm leaving."

Yunyou wasn't willing to come back and save Qingyu in the first place. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the three red-named players, Yunyou, who was hiding and observing from a distance just now, had no intention of intervening.

Such a good opportunity to escape was unexpectedly ruined like this. Was it because Qingyu had bad luck or was it Yunyou's bad luck?

What was even more helpless was that now Yunyou reluctantly wanted to give these three red-named players who tried to harass Qingyu the punishment they deserved, but was stopped by the victim. What kind of situation was this?

You like stirring up trouble, but I'm too lazy to accompany you.

"Hey! Wait, I..."

"Kid! Stop right there!"

Seeing Yunyou, this sudden red-named player, about to leave so confidently, and the grey-haired girl ready to follow him, the three red-named players couldn't help but speak up.

Although they didn't know who Yunyou was, it wasn't possible for the matter of nearly killing their companion to be let go so easily.

"What else?"

"Kid, no matter who you are, since you did something like this, do you think you can just leave like this?"

"And if not? Should I kill you all before leaving?"

Their faces were gloomy, showing displeasure. Yunyou also had the same unhappy expression. "That silly girl saved your lives, what else are you unsatisfied about?"

"Saved?"

The three people laughed at Yunyou's words. "You managed to sneak attack us earlier, and now you think you can challenge the three of us head-on? That's interesting. After all, you're also a red-named player, and you're a bit blindly arrogant."

"Blindly arrogant?"

Yunyou furrowed his brow and scratched his chin, looking at them with mixed feelings, unsure of what expression to make.

"Kid, it seems like you're interested in this little beauty too? But as a red-named player, you should understand that in this world, only strength speaks. If you forcefully step forward, you'll only bring destruction upon yourself."

"Sigh." Yunyou shook his head and glanced at Qingyu beside him. "You tell me, it's not that I want to kill them now, it's that they want to kill me. So, tell me, what should I do in this situation?""..."

Qingyu finally had nothing to say. In fact, since a while ago, the reasons the girl had insisted on seemed a bit shaky. In the world of "Void Realm", where would there be any police chasing criminals? She didn't know that the system had some protective settings; otherwise, this fascinating game world might truly turn into a live action H-anime scene.

And it seemed that the three red-named players in front of her were also unaware of the system's protection on intimate contact.

"What if... we run? They probably won't be able to catch up," Qingyu whispered in Yunyou's ear after considering for a moment.

"Run? Sorry, I don't have the habit of letting off those who provoke me so easily. Besides, you are aware of what happened yesterday. Now, everyone's equipment is nothing special, and our movement speed attributes are all about the same. If they have enough patience, running won't help," Yunyou replied.

"Hehe, you understand that well. Running won't be so easy. We all have red names, which comes with many restrictions. Even the city's NPC guards won't show any bias. Where can you possibly run to?" The three red-named men laughed and took out their daggers once again, subtly blocking Yunyou's escape route. Just like Yunyou, they believed that if someone provoked them, there was no reason to let them leave alive.

"Hey, hey, do you have some kind of misunderstanding? Did I say I was going to run?" Yunyou was at a loss with these people and shook her head helplessly.

"But on the other hand, what you said earlier was quite reasonable, it can be considered an eternal truth," Yunyou continued.

"What?"

"Strength is the basis for speaking. This statement is an absolute rule that cannot be refuted, whether in the gaming world or the real world."

Yunyou also took out her beginner's dagger, still gifted by the system. She casually tossed it in the air, spun it around, and caught it in her hand.

"So, I have to thank you for giving me this red name value."

Suddenly, her entire aura changed, completely different from before. Her target was still the red-named player who hadn't had a chance to fully recover his HP. Before he could even speak, Yunyou's body had already rushed in front of him.

The cold light in her hand swiftly struck the man's body, leaving behind a shining seven-star pattern. In the man's eyes, his HP bar seemed to be instantly erased, dropping to critical levels in an instant.

The three men had no reaction to this sudden change. It had all happened in just two or three seconds. By the time their companion remembered to come to their aid, it was already too late.

Yunyou had focused on the moment when the opponents slightly spread out to surround her, directly breaking through their defense line.

The pitiful red-named player didn't leave behind any last words and became the fourth person to leave this seemingly peaceful little forest.
