Yan Kuan died just like that, very suddenly, and very strangely.

As for the murderer… the primary suspect was still his own nephew, Yan Fu Ming, although the police really couldn't fathom any motive for Yan Fu Ming to commit murder. In the end, they could only attribute it to a drunken frenzy.

This reason was actually quite frustrating, but since no more suitable motive could be found, they had to make do with it. After all, Yan Kuan was already dead, and some people were quite happy to see such an outcome.

News of Yan Kuan's death also reached the Martial World Congress.

For them, this was not good news. After all, Yan Kuan was one of the supporters of this Martial World Congress. Although his overall strength was not overly powerful, he was still considered a force to be reckoned with, especially in Xishu Province.

However, it was unimaginable that Yan Kuan, who had almost reached the Quasi Grandmaster Level, would end up with such a fate, which was truly lamentable.

Most of those who truly knew of Yan Kuan's character maintained a relatively neutral stance. In the past, they might have been unhappy with Yan Kuan and Yan Fu Ming, but now that Yan Kuan was dead, to continue demeaning the deceased really seemed a bit excessive.

The next day at the Martial World Congress, the organizers even specifically expressed their regret over the incident and reminded those present to take good care of themselves. After all, as martial practitioners often engaged in combat with others, they had quite a number of enemies. No one wished to be assassinated while out and about.

Meanwhile, the real murderer, Qin Fang, was still at large, as if he had never had any connection whatsoever to the incident.

At least from the evidence available, there appeared to be no motive or reason for Qin Fang to commit murder, and Qin Fang had appeared using Yan Fu Ming's face, erasing all traces in the process.

Fingerprints?

Qin Fang would not make such a novice mistake. His Metamorphosis skill involved changing his bone structure to achieve the final effect of "disguise" and also affected the skin's surface to a certain extent.

This minor effect was not a big deal, but smoothing out the skin a little presented no problem at all. So when Qin Fang transformed, all the fingerprints on his hands disappeared entirely, as smooth as a mirror, making it impossible to leave any fingerprints. Moreover, Qin Fang was extremely cautious in his actions and would not leave such loopholes.

Whether the police continued to investigate this case or managed to charge Yan Fu Ming with murder, it didn't make much of a difference to Qin Fang.

If Yan Fu Ming was convicted of intentional murder, it would be almost as good as a death sentence. If they dug up his past, he would definitely be done for.

With Yan Kuan murdered, Yan Fu Ming lost his strongest pillar of support. The Yan family, which once reigned like emperors in Gongzhou, immediately fell apart, and various old enemies flooded into Gongzhou, dividing the Yan family's territory and taking revenge on the remaining members, seizing the opportunity to hit someone when they're down.

Yan Kuan was the strongest pillar of the Yan family, with a very high status and formidable strength. But without him, the Yan family was nothing. Just the public's reaction alone was already quite sensational, with many unable to help but excitedly set off firecrackers, blasting away in celebration.

All this was of no concern to Qin Fang. What he cared about most now was how long it would take for the hitman transaction platform to approve his mission completion request.

Due to the special nature of the mission, it was not possible to use methods like taking photographs to prove he had indeed killed the target. He had to rely on the hitman transaction platform to confirm this.

Not to mention that Qin Fang had left quite abruptly, without the time to arrange anything, so he really had no reliable means at hand for proof.

However, it was clear that Qin Fang had greatly underestimated the effectiveness of the hitman transaction platform. Almost immediately after Qin Fang submitted the mission completion request, the mission was officially declared complete.

Mission completed, member points +5!

This number might not seem very high at first glance, but in reality, it was not so simple.

Typically, mission points range from 2 to 5, with the amount earned closely linked to the difficulty of the mission. This means that for the same mission, some might only earn 2 points while others could get the full 5 points, showing the system indeed regarded Qin Fang favorably.

To advance to a Two-Star Assassin required member points to reach 20. Assuming one earns 5 points for each mission, it would take the assassination of four individuals and the completion of four missions to rise to a Two-Star Assassin.

However, Qin Fang could not always guarantee such a good completion rate, so future missions might only award 2, 3, or 4 points.

Of course, when Qin Fang ranks among the higher stars, the difficulty of the missions will increase, as will the points earned from them.

"Congratulations, you have completed the subquest of the main quest, 'King of Assassins': Assassinate Yan Kuan."

"Congratulations, you have earned 500 Experience Points!"

"Congratulations, you have earned 2000 Skill Proficiency points!"

Almost as soon as the Assassin Platform provided the assessment results, three such notifications appeared in Qin Fang's mind, immediately bringing a splendid smile to his face as he let out a sigh of relief.

500 Experience Points might not seem like a lot, yet it was indeed considerable. It was due to the fact that Qin Fang had completed a subquest; otherwise, the reward for Experience Points from the quest might only be two or three hundred, which would already be considered generous.

Now that Qin Fang's character level had reached Level 4, and he was only one level behind Yan Kuan's Level 5, it was still an over-level kill, yet the yield was obviously not as substantial as when Qin Fang, at Level 3, took down a Level 5 expert.

Moreover, this time, the task was not accomplished by Qin Fang overpowering Yan Kuan with his own means. Instead, it was like the time he had killed the Golden Crested Snake, using special methods.

Last time was with a gun, and this time with poison... Such methods of killing significantly reduce the acquisition of Experience Points.

Nonetheless, Qin Fang was very satisfied with such a figure.

500 Experience Points might be a mere drop in the ocean compared to the required 25,600 points for leveling up, but it accounted for a two percent increase, which was fairly quick considering the current slow pace of leveling up.

If he could maintain such a high speed of leveling up, Qin Fang knew that it wouldn't take too long to reach Level 5, thereby significantly reducing the inexplicable pressure his peers, the young geniuses, were putting on him.

2000 Skill Proficiency points, this was the part Qin Fang cared about most.

Or to put it another way, if he had to choose between the two rewards from these tasks, Qin Fang would definitely forsake Experience Points in favor of Skill Proficiency points.

Improving skills primarily relies on Proficiency, but the ways to gain Proficiency are relatively troublesome. Also, Qin Fang has many skills, and it is quite laborious to focus on each one. Being a "maniac" who cultivates so many skills at once is truly unusual.

Qin Fang didn't have the time to study each skill one by one and could only acquire more Proficiency through such questing methods, so he could advance the skills he wanted to improve as quickly as possible.

Two thousand Skill Proficiency points is certainly not a lot; it only amounts to a 20% increase for Beginner Level Skills and a pitiful 4% for Intermediate Skills.

However, Qin Fang didn't mind these figures. Whether it was 20% for Beginner Level or 4% for Intermediate Level, it was a substantial gain for him. If he were to increase the Proficiency of a certain skill on his own, it would take at least several days to achieve such a level.

Now, just by completing a minor subquest of a main quest, he could gain such high rewards, which was quite exhilarating for Qin Fang.

If a one-star task can yield such high returns, then taking on higher-starred tasks later would definitely result in considerable profits.

The points on the Killer's Trade Platform are very useful; they're fundamental to an assassin's survival. As long as one increases their star level, there will be no shortage of tasks to undertake.

As for the commission, it's not something Qin Fang, whose net worth is in the billions, particularly cares about. After all, with his current abilities, there are quite a few simple ways to earn a million in commission.

Looking at the 2000 Skill Proficiency points and considering which skills needed upgrading, Qin Fang eventually shook his head and did not use up those points. He decided to save them for now and use them when necessary for the best effect.

"Due to your act of slaying Yan Kuan of the Evil Camp, you have gained +50 Justice Points!"

"Congratulations, you have acquired the title: 'Scourge of Villains'!"

Just when Qin Fang thought his gains were limited to this much, two more delayed notifications arrived.

"Eh, what's going on here?"

These two sudden notifications took Qin Fang aback, they were so abrupt that he was momentarily confused.

The first notification was understandable; Qin Fang indeed had killed Yan Kuan, who was a high-scoring player of the Evil Camp with over five hundred Sin Points. As a "Good Person" who belonged to the Righteous Guardian Faction, killing such individuals from the Evil Camp entitled him to something akin to honor points.

Previously, such values were a vague concept; Qin Fang could sense their existence, but there hadn't been explicit indications. Now, it seemed, it should be Justice Points.
