Alien Species Invasion? I Kill Them Back.

Chapter 42: Chapter 40: Forum Big Shot

Feng Ling froze.

’Is my temper really this bad? Or has the Pollution Value made it impossible for me to control my emotions?’

She frowned in thought, then got up and went inside. A moment later, she came back out with a can of air freshener in her hand and started spraying it on Huangfu Miaomiao.

Huangfu Miaomiao was flabbergasted. "...W-w-what is this?"

"I discovered while I was showering just now that pleasant smells help calm my emotions. I’m spraying some on you, just in case I slip up and kill you," Feng Ling said.

Huangfu Miaomiao: "..."

’Please don’t say such horrifying things in such a calm tone!!!’

’Suddenly, I can’t eat!’

’I’ve completely lost my appetite!’

With ketchup smeared on the side of her mouth, Huangfu Miaomiao sat there dazedly for a while, looking as if her soul had left her body. She asked Feng Ling, "Can I go out and buy a bottle of perfume?"

"Go ahead." Feng Ling pulled out a credit card and gave it to her. "Buy a good one. This current scent is a bit cheap."

Her life was on the line. Huangfu Miaomiao didn’t dare delay. She took the credit card, immediately changed her clothes, and headed out.

"By the way, you should know this," Feng Ling said from the dining table, spearing a piece of watermelon with a small fork as red juice trickled down. "...Don’t even think about running. I’ve marked you."

A shiver instantly ran down Huangfu Miaomiao’s spine.

"I know..." She shrank back and left.

「...」

Once Huangfu Miaomiao was gone, the apartment immediately felt much quieter. The only sound in the whole place was the faint noise of Feng Ling chewing her food.

She was still mulling over Huangfu Miaomiao being unfriended.

Based on her speculation, the player on the forum named Moon Shadow was most likely the Alien Species she had burned to death in the villa.

Its body could transform into countless Vampire Worms.

This ability was tricky. Although its Attack Power wasn’t particularly high, it was incredibly flexible and versatile. The worms could squeeze into any crack or crevice, and it would escape if you weren’t careful. Wiping it out completely was no easy task.

According to what Little Skeleton had said, players had to pay a large number of points to log back into their characters after logging out. It was safe to assume that this player, Moon Shadow, was now dirt poor and desperately needed points to survive.

Trading information about a Hidden Boss for points would solve its immediate predicament and indirectly let it get its revenge—killing two birds with one stone.

As for why it unfriended Huangfu Miaomiao...

’It’s probably because... it has already struck a deal with someone else, so naturally, there’s no need to continue the conversation.’

As Feng Ling thought of this, she once again felt an uncontrollable restlessness and irritation.

Under the influence of the Pollution Value, it seemed difficult for her mind to calm down and think clearly.

’What do I do?’

’What do I do?’

’How do I get out of this mess...’

Feng Ling ate her watermelon one piece at a time, unconsciously fiddling with her phone. She thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with any decent ideas.

She couldn’t help but feel that Huangfu Miaomiao was right. When your Pollution Value reached around 30%, you really were prone to schizophrenia. Just sitting here eating watermelon and seeing the juice drip everywhere gave her the disorienting sensation that her hands were covered in blood.

’I’m about to lose my mind. How can anyone expect me to come up with a good plan?’

Feng Ling sighed.

’I feel so sorry for myself.’

’If only someone could give me some advice.’

Unfortunately, she had no parents and couldn’t rely on anyone. Her few good friends were all back in her hometown. Here in Qingjiang City, aside from Su Yuqing, whom she had just met, there was no one else she could trust.

’Should I ask Su Yuqing for help?’

’But how would I even bring it up to him? "Hey, just a heads-up, a whole bunch of Alien Species are about to descend on Qingjiang to kill me, so you should probably get ready."’

’Su Yuqing would definitely pack my bags and kick me out of Qingjiang overnight, right?’

Feng Ling pinched the bridge of her nose in anguish.

After a moment, a sudden thought struck her, and she looked down at her phone!

"I’m so stupid..." Feng Ling opened the Alien Star forum app, muttering to herself, "The players have a forum, but so do humans. The power of the people is limitless. I can totally post on the forum to crowdsource ideas..."

A purplish-red star popped up, spinning as the page loaded.

Two seconds later, the forum interface finished loading, and Feng Ling immediately went to the most popular section to create a post!

She already had a title in mind—

[Fam! A group of Alien Species is teaming up to kill my friend, what do I do?!]

"Asking for a friend" was a standard move. Feng Ling believed that if you knew, you knew.

She just winged it for the body of the post, dashing off a long paragraph:

『Dou Sha: What do I do? Fam, my friend is in such a miserable situation. She picked up a Card and somehow turned into a Hidden Boss, and now she’s being hunted by an Alien Species! She was just acting in reasonable self-defense, but that Alien Species actually holds a grudge against my friend and even exposed her information! Now Alien Species are teaming up to kill my friend! *Sob sob sob* what should I do???』

The whole post just screamed "helpless, weak, and pitiful."

Feng Ling found the words she had typed bizarre, murmuring, "I really am developing a split personality. It’s so fractured..."

’Okay, let me refresh the page.’

reply appeared.

『Qing Feng: You didn’t call the cops? Are you waiting for an invitation to the funeral?』

Feng Ling: "..."

She refreshed again.

『Jiao Jiao Zhe: Making up stories as you go, huh? Why don’t you do some homework in the "Best Of" section first? The classification levels for Alien Species vs. humans have been compiled for ages, and no one’s ever heard of a Hidden Boss.』

『Big Hamagua: Your friend is tripping.』

『Mi Jia: This is probably just bait for replies. They’ll drop an ad once they get enough traffic. Someone tell a mod to delete this thread.』

Feng Ling: "..."

’Humans are so unlikable!’

『Dou Sha: What will it take for you guys to believe me!!!』

『Mi Jia: Post a pic~ Since your friend got the Card, have her show off her Card Ability.』

『Qing Feng: Don’t bother posting cosplay photos. And please, have some self-respect and don’t post AI-generated pics either.』

『Big Hamagua: Let OP post it! Hahaha I wanna see!』

『Sheng Xia: Wanna see +1.』

『Xiao Yang wants to sleep: Wanna see +99.』

The number of replies suddenly exploded.

Feng Ling was speechless. ’Where is this "power of the people"?’ she thought. ’The only power the people have is for watching drama unfold!’

She was about to close the page and forget about it when she refreshed and a new reply appeared:

『Green Weasel 01: Don’t post it.』

『Green Weasel 01: A photo could reveal your current location.』

Feng Ling paused, slightly taken aback.

She recognized the name. He was a famous "porter" on the forums—well-known for tirelessly reposting all sorts of knowledge about Alien Species!

Moreover, this person rarely ever spoke. His whole brand was being a silent porter.

After the master porter appeared, the popularity of Feng Ling’s thread skyrocketed—

『Big Hamagua: Holy shit, the master Green Weasel actually spoke!』

『Qing Feng: What does the master mean by that? Don’t tell me he actually believes OP’s load of crap?』

『Sheng Xia: emmm, if OP is telling the truth, posting a photo would be really dangerous.』

『Luoxi: What’s going on, what’s going on? I’m wide awake now! Does this mean our resistance has a new powerhouse? A hidden one at that?』

『Xiao Yang wants to sleep: Seems like it...』

『Mi Jia: I’m almost starting to believe it! OP, you better swear you won’t post any ads, or I’ll curse you for life!』

『Qing Feng: @Green Weasel 01, Master, say something! Is the Hidden Boss real or not?』

...

Feng Ling clicked on her unread messages in surprise.

’The forum legend sent me a private message~’
