The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221: 213 The top of the list is right before your eyes [1 update]

Ying Zijin’s expression paused, but she did not have any particular reaction.

She turned her head to glance at the large screen again, her voice low and cold, “Number One on the Poison Master Ranking?”

“Yeah.” Di Wu Yue belched, “They’ve been looking for over a dozen years, haven’t found them.”

As she spoke, she spread out her hands, “I don’t even know why the Bevin Family is so persistent; among hunters, Poison Masters are the most ruthless, truly killing without a trace.”

Poison Masters can attack from afar as well as up close, and their ability to conceal themselves is extremely high.

If it’s a Sharpshooter, at least after the fact you can figure out where they hid.

But not with Poison Masters.

A Poison Master has made their move by the time they brushed past someone.

And by the time the poison takes effect, which could be days or even a year later, the poisoned person won’t even realise it.

“I’ve seen Number 17 on the Poison Master Ranking, an old man, and he looked quite scary,” Di Wu Yue added, “So I guess, Number One on the Poison Master Ranking is probably also an old man, anyway, these Poison Masters, they live quite long.”

Poison Masters, Alchemists, and practitioners of Ancient Medicine all study medicine, but their essence is different.

Alchemy originated in the Middle Ages in O-continent, and throughout the centuries from the 16th to the 18th century, there were quite a few books related to Alchemy.

Initially, scientists studied Alchemy to find out how to turn stone and other common metals into gold.

This involved many chemical principles.

Thus, Alchemy also pushed forward the development of chemistry.

However, the emergence of modern chemistry contradicted Alchemy, but that’s not the case.

The true Alchemy simply never revealed itself to the common folk.

Alchemists pursued not only Turning Stone into Gold but also Panacea, also known as the Elixir of Immortality.

It bears a striking resemblance to the Alchemy rumored during the Dynastic Era.

But so much time has passed, and even with the forces of both the Alchemy world and the Ancient medical field combined, they still can’t achieve true immortality.

At most, they can develop human potential to the limit and prolong life.

Poison Masters, however, are stronger than both Alchemists and practitioners of Ancient Medicine.

Because Poison Masters can heal as well as kill.

And the poison of a Poison Master may not necessarily be something Alchemists and practitioners of Ancient Medicine can cure.

Any Poison Master who makes the Ranking, even just Number One Hundred, will be recruited by major international powers.

The Poison Master Ranking carries more weight than the Gun God Ranking.

“No.” Ying Zijin slowly tore open the chocolate wrapper, rarely contradicting, “Number One on the Poison Master Ranking, is not an old man.”

After a pause, she added, “He’s quite handsome, but his temper has worsened recently.”

Di Wu Yue: “???”

“That’s impossible, right?” Di Wu Yue was bewildered, “During my grandfather’s time, Number One on the Poison Master Ranking never changed, no name, no code, and so many years have passed, how can they be good-looking?”

Poison Masters, since they test medicines on their own bodies, mostly look neither human nor ghost.

The old man she had seen had half of his face completely necrotic.

And yet he didn’t care about his appearance, didn’t even bother to wear a mask to avoid frightening children.

When she saw him, she couldn’t handle it and fainted.

After waking up, she still vomited three more times.

“Mmm.” Ying Zijin nonchalantly agreed, “It has indeed been many years.”

After the establishment of the Hidden Alliance, the Poison Master Ranking was the first list.

She just did it for fun, didn’t tell the other three, and then, unintentionally, she made the Ranking.

And she had only left Earth, not died.

So, unless someone could create a more potent poison or solve hers, the first place on the Poison Master Ranking would not change.

Ying Zijin held her head.

If it weren’t brought up, she almost forgot she still had such a mess on her hands.

But the fact that she’s Number One on the Poison Master Ranking, even 10, doesn’t know it, which is quite convenient.

“Hey, never mind.” Di Wu Yue was carefree, “Whether the top dog on the Ranking is male or female, old or young, what does it have to do with me? I can’t even afford food, let alone meet the top dog.”

After speaking, she handed the three tickets she held to the ticket inspector at the entrance of the building.

The competition among Sharpshooters is at the very top of the building.

To prevent these Sharpshooters from getting too excited and shooting randomly, damaging other equipment.

However, no Sharpshooter truly dares to misbehave here; the overall power of the Hidden Alliance is yet to be fully understood by any hunter.

Ying Zijin walked inside while answering a WeChat voice call from Elder Zhong.

“Zijin, there’s something.” Master Zhong’s voice sank, “Tianlv knows about your identity… but he’s different from those two people; he genuinely wants to make amends.”

“He said that after you finish your trip and come back, he wants to hold a banquet in Shanghai City to confirm your identity.”

Originally, when he found out that Ying Zijin was actually his biological granddaughter, he wanted to do this.

But the Ying Family wouldn’t allow it.

They denied parentage tests and refused to acknowledge it outright.

There were also some people in the Zhong Family who were coveting, making him powerless to act.

But it was different with Ying Tianlv—they could definitely prove it.

“No need, Grandfather, I don’t require that,” Ying Zijin’s voice was very faint, “but thank him for me all the same.”
