The next day, I woke up at an early 8 am.

He Yi, Beiming Xue, Murong Mingyue, Moonlight Stone and I had a very important quest to do today. It was of course to enter Dragonlight Canyon with the treasure map and find its hidden treasures. At the very least, I knew that our levels would be climbing like crazy since the requirement to enter the map was Level 150.

At the workshop, Murong Mingyue poked fun at me while eating her bread. ”So, how did your mad chase for Beauty Lin go, Lu Chen?”

I replied while holding up my porridge bowl, ”What did you expect? Yiyi left the country, and that's it. I went to the airport, but I wasn't able to see her.”

Beiming Xue said, ”That's a shame. I'm sure Lin Yixin misses you a lot.”

I gave her a smile. ”I guess.”

”It's all my fault…” He Yi looked a bit glum. She stared at me apologetically and said, ”Yiyi wouldn't have had to stand in the rain for that long if it wasn't for me…”

Murong Mingyue exclaimed in shock, ”Are you okay? Why are you apologizing? Did you forget that Yiyi's your love rival?”

He Yi pursed her lips for a bit before answering, ”Personally, I don't really think of her as a rival. We both share the misfortune of falling in love with the same dummy…”

I immediately said, ”No personal attacks, please!”

He Yi chuckled. ”Fine, fine, I won't attack you anymore~”

I then changed the subject. ”Anyway, there's nothing to be worried about. Yiyi isn't such a narrow-minded person. The quest we're going to do today? You need a treasure map to get inside, and Yiyi's the one who gave it to me.”

”Wow…”

While the girls were expressing their surprise, Beiming Xue said, ”Big bro, if I were sister Lin Yixin, I would've beaten you up for making me stand in the rain for a whole hour!”

Both Murong Mingyue and He Yi nodded in agreement immediately.

”For f.u.c.k's sake, do you girls want to go to Dragonlight Canyon or not?” I rolled my eyes at them. ”If yes, then shut up and finish up your food. If no, that's fine too, I'll just party up with Gui Guzi and Li Chengfeng instead! Who knows, the party may even be stronger as a result!”

”No, bring us with you…” Murong Mingyue pleaded in between giggles.

……

After breakfast was over, we returned to our respective rooms and began a new day inside the game. Every player in the entire world was rus.h.i.+ng to hit Level 150 right now, and in Sky City, lone players who had completed their sixth promotion quests and entered the Earthfire Realm were almost everywhere. If we didn't increase our levels as soon as possible, we would be outstripped by the others and turned into the mundane.

After logging into the game and repairing my equipment, I loaded 200 Rank 10 Saint Spirit Potions and almost 100 stacks of Rank 9 Saint Spirit Potion into my bag. Rank 9 Saint Spirit Potions were better for normal use because the Rank 10 version required the extremely rare ingredient, Divine Dayflower, and was thus impossible to ma.s.s produce. Unless I was PvPing or fighting a boss, it was better to stick with Rank 9 Saint Spirit Potions.

I also carried 10 Bloodknight Cards with me, the ones that buffed max HP by 40% and Defense by 15%. Finally, I grabbed some supplements that increase Stamina, Strength and so on by 450 points. The party didn't have a high-level bard, so these supplements could be very useful later.

After I created the party, I added He Yi, Beiming Xue, Murong Mingyue and Moonlight Stone as my party members. Then, I said in the party channel, ”Alright! There's no telling when we'll come out after we enter Dragonlight Canyon, so make sure to bring your tents and fill every slot you have with potions and supplies! Don't worry about them going to waste, because there's no way in h.e.l.l you won't be using them in this map. I expect us to level up 3 times by the time we're finished with the map!”

”Mn, mn!” The girls nodded repeatedly.

”Once you're ready, head to the east gate of Dark Moon City and wait there. Dragonlight Canyon is about one and a half hours to the east of Dark Moon City.”

”Got it, party leader!”

I immediately teleported to Dark Moon City and went to the east gate. A wave of loneliness a.s.saulted me as I was standing in the wilderness, so I summoned the Armored Ice Qilin Horse and the Phantom Wolf King. I got up my mount while the little wolf darted energetically around the area, his nose sniffing constantly in search of danger.

Dark Moon City was growing stronger day by day, and the Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls guild was very famous in China right now. Therefore, it was no surprise that our city had grown into a hub for leveling and resupply no less critical than a main city. Countless players were walking in and out of the city, and many of them were shooting me looks of astonishment because I hadn't bothered to hide my ID. Both the name and the emblem that marked me as the vice leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls on my shoulder made me stand out like a sore thumb.

I spent a moment to thank the fact that no one had decided to come over and speak with me. I could handle partying up with strangers and grinding with them, but talking to one was an entirely different story.

The girls didn't take long to show up.

He Yi was riding her Snow Domain Windchaser as usual. Although we had reached a point where her mount could no longer be considered a super-tier mount, He Yi didn't want to change it because its appearance was extremely beautiful.
