“Q Sword is already level 36 and ranked first in Fan Shu City. Also he’s already made a custom [Combo] and learned an exclusive skill. Last night outside of Fan Shu City there was a battle and Q Sword single-handedly challenged 9 players that were over level 30 and won. This guy is an idol to everyone…”
Dong Cheng Yue blinked her beautiful eyes, smiled, and said: “I also heard that yesterday’s battle caused a lot of girl players to confess to Q Sword on the forums. ..”
Wan Er looked deeply at me and her pretty pupils had a trace of provocation, but she smiled and said: “Mm, yeah I also feel that Q Sword belongs to the group of men that are perfect in every aspect. It’s normal for girls to fall for him…Unlike a certain person who chose the healer class and at the end…Was bullied left and right by Tyrant of Western Chu…”
I rubbed my nose and said angrily: “Miss, don’t mock me…”
“What are you talking about…” Wan Er spread her hands and looked at me innocently: “I’m just saying the truth…Which reminds me, Li Xiao Yao what’s your level right now and what rank are you in Ba Huang City?”
I thought for a bit: “Level 31 at 97% experience and almost level 32. As for the ranking, when I went offline I was around 300, but now I’m guess that it should be around 500…”
“Oh? Your level rises so fast?” Wan Er’s mouth was wide open.
I was speechless: “Not as fast as you, already level 34 and almost level 35…”
“How about you come to Fan Shu City? I’ll introduce you and you can join [Q Sword]’s guild. How about it?”
“Q Sword’s guild?” I frowned. “Isn’t that the one that’s really popular on the forums, [Hero’s Mound]?”
“Yep!” Wan Er nodded. “It’s the second ranked guild in the entire server and [Hero’d Mound] has a bit of history. There are over 80 thousand player registering. Is there any need to hesitate?”
I clenched my fist and said plainly: “Nope, I’ll build up my own guild. I won’t join [Hero’s Mound].”
Cheng Yue looked at me in a daze and after a while said: “Xiao Yao is jealous…”
While my face was red, I said: “Nope. Definitely not. Jealous? What are you talking about? How can I be jealous of this guy? Impossible!”
Wan Er giggled, hummed a song, and didn’t bother me anymore.
Cheng Yue on the other hand said: “Don’t worry about it, but Wan Er and I decided that we’re going to join [Hero’s Mound]. But our hearts will be with you. To be honest, if I ever choose a boyfriend I would prefer people like you Xiao Yao…”
I sipped my tea and said: “Thanks!”
“You’re welcome…”
……
After eating lunch, it was about 3 o’clock in the afternoon. We hurried back to school and the two beauties continued to grind their levels which made me feel a bit pressured. I also wanted to quickly level up or else if I fell behind that would be pretty embarrassing. Also, Wan Er and Cheng Yue both wanted to enter the second ranked guild. I should try joining around with some guilds as well. [Prague] was out of the question. Yan Zhao was furious at me. Also, creating my own guild was even more out of the question. I had no funds, no members, and I couldn’t even attract any players.
Whatever, level grinding came first. I would think about guilds when I reached level 40!
Whoosh!
I went online and I appeared in the Desolate Cloud Swamp. Immediately when I came online, I got bitten by a huge crocodile. Damn, the crocodile I killed before noon had already respawned! I summoned Baby Bobo and I sliced towards crocodile with Jade City Sword!
I continued going forward and the crocodiles showed up less and less. In the shallow water plants, a small red dot appeared on the minimap showing that there was a monster there. But…I couldn’t see any monster, so it might be hiding under water.
Splash…
I walked in the water with my Silver Locked Battle boots and held Jade City Sword tightly. I slowly walked forward. When I got closer to the red dot, it suddenly rushed towards me under the water! At the next instant, water splashed and a huge water snake as thick as my shoulder jumped out at me!
Ssss…
The moment it came out of the water, it opened its mouth and bit my arm!
“317!”
I raised my head and looked at it. Then I see that it was a level 39 monster. So that was why it was so vicious. [Desolate Water Snake] LV-39. Indeed the attack was not bad. Let’s see how the defense held up!
Jade City Sword shook and the atmosphere around me swirled as I gathered wind for the sword. I sliced with my level 3 [Wind Blade] and it heavily chopped at the head of the water snake!
“527!”
Hm, the defense wasn’t anything special and its HP should be around 2000 points or so. With one slice of my [Wind Blade], it took away 25% of its health. Bobo also buzzed over there to sting it with his combo. My sword shook and I went in again for another attack. At the same time, the water snake flicked its long tail and it crashed into my face with a bang, OW.
“319!”
I couldn’t take anymore hits. So at the same time I used my level 4 [Combo], I also cast [Heal]!
“+600!”
With that my HP was almost full. Bobo and I combined forces and attacked together. With a few strikes, the water snake’s HP dropped and it fell with a slither. After dying, it floated on the water and tainted the water around it with a faint red tint.
I picked the 12 silver coins in the water plants silently and continued forward. Now that I had experience, when I saw another small red dot on the minimap I stood still. Then I punched into the water and cast [Binding Chains]!
Clang!
Steel chains broke through the water showing the Desolate Water Snake. The snake was completely immobilized by my level 2 [Binding Chains] for 2.2 seconds. Both me and Bobo rushed towards it. This time, killing it was a piece of cake. After finishing the water snake I scanned around. At the edge of the swamp I saw smoke rising and I also saw a person! I would go there and check it out!
