Chapter 25: Real? Illusion?

In less than a day, the favorability of the village head of the beginner village 60001 towards Ye Tian Xie had already reached full confidence level. In this stage, this was undoubtedly an excellent state. He bid farewell to the village head and went towards the smithy of the blacksmith Lao w.a.n.g.

“h.e.l.lo, uncle blacksmith, here is a total of 500 wolf’s fangs for you. This should be enough for you to use for some time.” Ye Tian Xie took out all the wolf’s fangs he had collected and placed them in front of the blacksmith Lao w.a.n.g. The blacksmith stopped forging and exclaimed with admiration, “Brave adventurer from a different world, once again you let me experience your bravery. This is a first cla.s.s forging material, it’s making me really excited, I don’t know what to say.”

*Ding*

“You successfully completed the mission ‘Blacksmith w.a.n.g’s commission’. You obtain: 1200 experience points and a piece of Level 5 leggings of a.s.sa.s.sin vocation.

Because you exceed the required quota to complete the mission, blacksmith Lao w.a.n.g’s favorability +15.”

*Ding*

“Blacksmith Lao w.a.n.g’s favorability of you increased to ‘full confidence’.

Although he had given more than 10 times the required quota to complete the mission of the blacksmith, his rewards didn’t changed, but the blacksmith favorability towards him increased by +15, which completely satisfied him.

Just when Ye Tian Xie was about to leave, suddenly he heard the voice of blacksmith w.a.n.g, “Earnest hero, can you let me examine that ring in your finger? I can feel that some kind of mysterious power is flowing in it.”

Ye Tian Xie quickly turned around, he took off the ring from his finger and gave it to blacksmith Lao w.a.n.g. Blacksmith Lao w.a.n.g took the ring, looked very carefully and after a moment raised his head and said, “As expected, this ring possesses mysterious powers, but since it is too old, it cannot release its full power. Earnest hero, can you give it to me? I can forge it again, I have complete confidence that it will become even more powerful than before. I want to repay you for waking up my wife.”

“Sure, you can.” Ye Tian Xie had a calm smile in the surface, but inside his mind, he was so much excited that if it was possible, he would have hugged this blacksmith Lao w.a.n.g’s favorability!

“Thank you for your trust, I need half a day to excavate its power. After half a day you can come again. Perhaps at that time, you would be pleasantly surprised.” Blacksmith Lao w.a.n.g said happily.

“Okay.”

After he left the smithy, he went towards the grocery store and bought a small pile of tasty fruit, and then he ate those fruits until his hunger status reached 0. From this, he discovered that every fruit reduce a single point. That said, since Guo Guo returned to the eternal destiny of moment, she didn’t come out again. Probably overslept.

Ye Tian Xie looked at the time, closed his eyes and silently said, “Logout.”

Before his eyes the world started to spin, and when his sight was restored, he saw familiar walls. He had logged in at 8 in the evening, and for the next 8 hours he had not eaten anything, so it was only natural to know that his stomach was rumbling with hunger. He sat straight and picked up the remote control and turned on the television, then he standed up and prepared to look for something to eat………….but, the news report on the television suddenly made him stop, and unconsciously tighten up.

“………..today evening at 7:30, researcher and developer of <destiny> world and director of Tianwai Corporation, Pu Luo Si, was suddenly found dead in his house. The cause of death was unknown and is urgently being investigated. On the basis of the expression after death and the note, which had his handwriting, in his hands, initial judgment was given as suicide…….”

Pu Luo Si……….died!?

Various Medias of the world were trying their best to provide detailed news report on this astonis.h.i.+ng news. Who would have thought, the opening of the <destiny> world was not even past half a day and almost everyone around the world was trying their best to conquer the <destiny> world, but its founder was already dead. The news report mentioned that………there was not any external or internal injuries in any part of his body, nevertheless, strangely, Pu Luo Si no longer had a life. World renowned doctors tried their best by using the most advanced equipment to recover his heartbeat, but it was completely useless.

The suicide note in his hand was long, in few critical sentences; “………..<destiny> had succeed to surpa.s.s all the previous VRMMORPG games. Also, my biggest dream was finally fulfilled. Now, I don’t have any regret even if I die. Although I will not be in this world, still, <destiny>will never fall. Alpha has already returned to his native place, and even at that faraway place he could control everything of <destiny> world……….”

All the words of the suicide note’s final line were written in deep red blood, these words were, in Chinese characters: “Please treasure your…………destiny!”

That attracting and strange combination of words in the last line triggered a worldwide discussion and speculation. Every kind of guesses were derived from this line and nearly filled the whole world’s internet.
