“Boss!”
Strawberry Matcha excitedly jumped and flew up from the bushes, landing after about 10 meters with a smug look. After landing, her 34C chest slightly shook, and the nearby newbies’ hearts almost stopped.
“Thank you boss for coming here to welcome me……” Strawberry Matcha laughed.
I asked, “Matcha, could you tell me your current equipment?”
“Sure……”
She smiled while reporting her equipment, “I have a Lv 20 Green Tier weapon, my helmet and chest plate are Lv 23 Bronze Tier, and everything else is Black Iron Tier. Boss, is my equipment really bad?”
“Yeah, it is pretty bad. Let’s go, follow me into the city!”
“Oh…..”
I turned around and my Icy Fire Cloak flapped in the wind. I brought Matcha into Ba Huang City and, at the same time, mentioned, “Matcha, I will help you prepare a set of Lv 30 equipment so that it won’t be too difficult for you to solo level.”
“Ah……” She lightly nodded her head and suddenly laughed, “Boss, why do Wolf, Old K, and them call me Big Sister Matcha, yet you just call me Matcha? Why don’t you call me the same name they do?”
I turned around to look at her and couldn’t help but smile, “You are 23 years old, while I’m 25 years old, so you are not older than me……”
“But still!” She pouted while stomping her feet, “On the road, Song Han said I was a newbie, so I can’t let you guys look down on me. From today on, every member of Zhan Long Studio must call me Big Sister Matcha. I want to be the biggest ‘big sister’ in Zhan Long, so, Boss, the same goes for you!”
I was speechless and simply said: “Good afternoon Big Sister Matcha ……”
“Hehee, that’s right!”
……
We shopped around in circles in Ba Huang City’s North Gate market area. Finally, we bought some items: Lv 30 Silver Tier sword, chest plate, greaves, and boots. We couldn’t find a Silver Tier helmet, so we had to make do with Bronze Tier. The necklace and rings are also Bronze Tier, since Silver Tier is just too expensive. We shouldn’t have spend too much on temporary equipment, but we still spent a total of 120 gold. It was so heart wrenching I could’ve died. All the equipment was given to Matcha.
“Well, let’s replenish our potions supply and get ready to move out!”
“Okay……”
Strawberry Matcha blinked her eyes and suddenly asked, “Boss, where are we going to level? What types of monster will we be killing?”
I invited her to a party and said, “Let´s go far out into the map? I was planning to kill a Lv 53-57 Elite Monster. You could fly around in the air and be an “experience baby”. With me power leveling you, you should be at Lv 30 within 3 hours, then you can equip the items we just bought. From then on, you can level however you want to since there won’t be too much pressure.”
(TL: experience baby, someone who just does nothing but get experience. Power leveling)
“Ah, Okay!”
Opening up the map, I quickly locked onto our leveling spot, Fire Stone Canyon, which was quite far away from Ba Huang City. Most players won’t go there which is why I wanted to bring Strawberry Matcha there. There should be enough monster spawns. Besides, Fire Stone Canyon is close to Dragon City, so I could get some quests from my teachers.
Outside the city, the grass was bowing down to the spring breeze.
Strawberry Matcha didn’t fly, she instead stayed on the ground and walked with me. Holding her Green Tier longsword, she secretly tilted her head to sneak a look at me, then quickly moved her head back in fear of me finding out.
I was speechless, “Actually, you can change your perspective in the game. How many more times are you going to slyly look at me until you are satisfied?”
Strawberry Matcha’s face reddened and she said, “Boss, did you know that I actually joined Zhan Long for you?”
I nodded, “Yeah, I could more or less guess, but why?”
“That…” Strawberry Matcha started to giggle, “I saw boss in reality and since you were truly quite handsome, you didn’t let me down. Did you know? A lot of my female friends like you, saying that you solo fought vs. [Wrath of the Heroes]… and then there is that video of the battle in Green Qilin Abyss, where you single handedly overwhelmed more than half of [Wrath of the Heroes] with both intelligence and strength. One of my friends even said that she wants to have your child…”
My face was green, “I do not want to have kids for now ……”
Matcha chuckled: “Okay, since boss’s face is all red, I will stop talking about you. And for me, since I’m a Zhan Long member from now on, what should I do if I encounter a [Wrath of the Heroes] member and they PK me?”
I drew Frost Rain Sword, and laughed, “What about it? Tell me or Song Han and we will come help you. When your level is high enough, you could seek revenge yourself!”
“Ah, okay, I will definitely be super strong!”
“Good, wait…….”
“Why……”
In the middle of speaking, a “Bang” sounded out. Strawberry Matcha’s delicate soft body crashed into a maple tree. Almost crying, she looked at me with large watery eyes, “I……I crashed into a tree……”
I rubbed my forehead, “Silly girl, what kind of intelligence do you have. To be a Wind Elf and actually crash into a tree……”
……
“Roar!”
A Lv 29 Wild Boar was ahead; it is considered to be one of the lowest level monsters in the area. I really wanted to test Matcha’s abilities, so I chuckled, “Big Sister Matcha, go attack it. I will leave this Wild Boar to you, so kill it within 12 seconds. Do you have any problems?”
“Ah, okay!”
Strawberry Matcha drew her sword and with a delicate cry, she rushed to attack it. Upon her sword a Lv 3 [Combo] shined, and 2 golden hexagram passed through the wind!
The wild boar charged at a slant angle and thus two big MISSes appeared; the [Combo] hit did nothing!
I clenched my hands into a fist and whispered, “Don’t keep hacking at it, you need to determine the orientation of the target. This is common sense; adjust the angle of your attack, since the monster’s attacks are not set in stone…”
“Ah……”
