Chapter 95 – Jealousy (2/2)
Dong Cheng Yue lands on the ground and laughs: “Xiao Yao, come out and greet us!”
“Shua!”
I confirm my resurrection. With one [Heal] my HP fills up. I have to guarantee that I won’t die first because there might still be [Flying Dragon] Assassins around. I don’t want to drop the items that I got from the Boss.
….
“Thank you Wan Er!”
Lin Wan Er waves her hand: “That wasn’t sincere enough. Why don’t you treat us to dinner?”
I nod: “Okay!”
At that moment Q-Sword walks over with a few [Hero Mound] members. The members are composed of a Lv44 Berserker named Jian Tan and a Lv43 Swordswoman named Sword Tears. Jian Tan is Q-Sword’s uncle. Sword Tears is a beauty and she looks somewhat similar to Q-Sword. Not surprisingly, she is Q-Sword’s real younger sister. Accompanying her older brother to play games. This really is familial love.
Seeing Q-Sword I smile and say: “Thank you, [Hero Mound], for lending us a hand!”
Q-Sword modestly smiles: “It’s nothing. Lin Wan Er is the second-in-command of [Hero Mound]. She is pretty much my right hand. With just one request from Wan Er, [Hero Mound] will mobilize all ten thousand of its brethren. And also you are Wan Er’s friend. That means that you are also a friend of [Hero Mound]. You needn’t be so polite. He he….”
He looks at me up and down: “Xiao Yao Zi Zai, you make many Ba Huang City guilds anxious and you’re the talk of the town. Seems like you are not that simple to understand. If we have a chance, let’s spar for a bit. I heard that you once defeated Jian Feng Han. I know Jian Feng Han’s skill so you must really be quite capable!”
I calmly say: “That’s just a rumor. I’m not worthy enough to be Jian Feng Han’s opponent. I know my skills. Anyway many thanks to [Hero Mound] for helping us. If someday you require my assistance, I will be there without a second thought!”
Q-Sword nods: “Ok. In exchange for your word, [Hero Mound] has not gathered a thousand players in vain!”
Finished talking, Q-Sword turns toward Lin Wan Er: “Wan Er, help me scout ahead. We can’t bear a sneak attack right now. The red name penalty is way too high for us to take!”
Lin Wan Er nods: “Ok.”
Lin Wan Er turns to me and laughs: “I am going to go scout. You stay out of danger and go back to the city, okay? It’s very dangerous here and you look like an appetizer to the monsters….”
My self respect goes down another level: “You underestimate me….”
Lin Wan Er laughs: “Okay. I understand. But you don’t want to drop the spoils of war that you obtained from the Corpse Chief right? If you don’t want that to happen, you should go back to the city…”
“Ok, Lin Wan Er, you guys….” I look at Lin Wan Er’s red name and hesitate.
Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue follow after Q-Sword.
I stand there foolishly watching as they walks away. A disappointed feeling appears in my chest.
“Ding!”
A message appears from the person who was approximately 100 yards from me. Lin Wan Er says: “Idiot, why are you not going back to the city? I’m going to clear my red name. In 1 hour lets go eat….”
“Hmm… Okay”
Closing the messenger I stand there expressionless. Mixed feelings pass over my chest. I don’t know why I hesitated.
…..
“Cough cough. A falling flower intentionally follows the flowing water but the flowing water doesn’t long for the fallen flower….” Li Mu says in a low voice.
I shoot him a glance: “Get lost! An uneducated fellow like you should not try such an artsy poem…Go to the Guild Creation Association! Go and establish your guild!”
Li Mu takes the Guild Creation Tablet from me and laughs: “Fine then. The jealousy is strong in you, Xiao Yao Zi Zai”
“Go away!”
My face is burning red as I pull out a city return scroll and use it
“Shua!”
Appearing at Ba Huang City, I rush to the warehouse to store my items. I place the Fire Beacon Helmet into the warehouse because I can’t wear the level 45 equipment yet. If I die and drop it, I would be sour for a very long time.
With that done I carry my [Proud Heaven Axe] out to the North entrance’s market. In a big loud voice, I yell: “Level 45 Berserker Gold tier weapon [Proud Heaven Axe]. It has an attack with an upper bound of 590. This is the server’s 2nd ranked weapon. Yell out your bids here. Any bids less than 1000 gold coins will be ignored!”
….
Once I display the 2nd ranked weapon, many people come swarming over. There is no rest between bids. The highest bid quickly goes up to 1300 gold but I don’t sell yet. I know I can earn some more from this axe. After all, this opportunity rarely comes. I can’t kill a Purple Ranked Boss alone so I don’t know where the next amazing drop will come from.
“1500 G!”
A loud voice comes over all the people bidding. In the crowd, a high level player appear. Atop of his head in a line of gold words are ——
Title: Ba Huang City’s Number 1
….
It’s Jian Feng Han. He unexpectedly reached level 45 and temporary surpassed Yan Zhao to occupy the top spot in Ba Huang City’s Leaderboard!
Everyone turns to look and sees that Jian Feng Han is not alone. Simple and Fushen Moren of the [Vanguard] guild are there too. They escort Jian Feng Han as if he was the king of Ba Huang City!
Jian Feng Han walks forward. On his back is a glowing purple sword. It is the Purple ranked Heavenly Plan sword. A smile appears on his face: “Brother Xiao Yao, long time no see…. ”
I see him and calmly smile: “Didn’t you kill me yesterday? How can you say ‘long time no see’….”
He wrinkles his nose and continues smiling: “This is the [Proud Heaven Axe] right? How much are you selling it?”
I think for a second: “If [Vanguard] wants to buy it. It costs 4000G and not a copper coin less!”
“You….”
Jian Feng Han hesitates as he tries to restrain his anger.
Behind him, Simple walks up while carrying her staff. She laughs and says: “Okay. 4000G it is then. I will go to [Treasure Grove] to buy some gold coins. You wait here for a bit!”
I nod: “Ok!”
