Chapter 199: Devil Spirit Hall (2/2)
My face convulsed. Thinking of being cut into angled slices like pizza, that would be terrible. I hurriedly said, ”I’ll be online at about one or so tomorrow. Let's cooperate. At the very least, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Snowy Cathaya's members should not kill each other.”
”Mn!”
Lin Yixin smiled. ”Then I am going to sleep.”
”Alright...”
Lin Yixin suddenly turned around and said, ”Right, there is something else I need to tell you.”
”Yes, what is it?”
”The two assassins that ambushed us planning to steal the boss's spoils have been identified!”
”Oh, let me see!”
Lin Yixin nodded and opened her right hand. With a whoosh, a bunch of letters floated above her palm. The information about the two assassins floated in front of me.
Life of Prosperity, professional assassin. Entered the game on the first day. From Jiangsu's Yan City. Once worked for Peach Garden and left two days ago without joining any faction.
Life of Protection, professional assassin. Entered the game on the first day. From Jiangsu's Yangzhou. Left Peach Garden a day ago, and didn't join any other faction.
……
I frowned. ”Both of them were originally from Peach Garden? Hmm, Life of Protection is from Yangzhou. We come from the same place, such karma...”
Lin Yixin laughed softly. ”Your hometown is in Yangzhou?”
”Yes, what about it. Guys from Yangzhou aren't bad!” I showed off the muscles on my arm.
Lin Yixin burst into laughter. ”Be serious! These two people were originally from Peach Garden. Don't you find it suspicious?”
”Of course!” I smiled faintly. ”It is clear that Indigo Collar had planned to attack our two guilds a long time ago. However, the temporary situation is that Gods of Destruction are stronger than Snowy Cathaya and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Therefore, Indigo Collar planned for us to work together and then defeat both of us to dominate Floating Ice City.”
Lin Yixin smiled and asked, ”Is Snowy Cathaya and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' alliance strong enough?”
I shook my head. ”Not at the moment.”
”Then how can we strengthen our alliance?”
”Marry me.”
”Go die, you want another beating!”
Lin Yixin waved her fist, wanting to punch me, but I grabbed her hand in time. I laughed. ”Yiyi, go sleep early. Peach Garden ambushing our boss is only due to conflict of interest. Don't mind it too much. In the end, we need to establish ourselves in Floating Ice City. Fighting against other factions was inevitable anyway, so let’s take it slow. Now go sleep!”
”Mn.”
Lin Yixin nodded, and turned around, leaving behind a beautiful figure. Her name quickly faded and she went offline.
I replenished my potions and repaired my equipment before preparing to go offline. I had to get up early tomorrow. The Devil Spirit Hall would open in the afternoon. No matter what, I had to get in, and then reach the ninth floor to kill the boss and get a Divine Martial Token to have Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls reach Rank 3. A Rank 3 guild could hold two thousand people at maximum, multiplying its power. In the early stages of the game, it was easy to recruit unaffiliated experts. Current recruitment would have a huge effect on our future development!
……
Smartly, I took my tent and headed for the Holy Temple on my own. I walked along the passageway of the Holy Temple until a plaza appeared in front of me. It was about the size of a soccer field. At the end of the plaza were two guards. I talked with the guards. There was a grayed out option to pay 1000 gold to enter Devil Spirit Hall.
And so, I threw the tent next to the guard, and shamelessly planned to go offline. When I got online, I would be right next to him. Even if there were many players nearby, how could I not squeeze my way through?
I was overjoyed. Nice. I entered the tent and went offline!
……
I took down the helmet and inhaled deeply. The time in the game was enjoyable but it couldn’t replace reality. I opened the window and greedily inhaled fresh air. The game had become a part of my life. I need to take advantage of my youth and enjoy life!
The hallway was quiet. Everyone was either online or asleep. The dorms were full of snores, but the security booth's light was on.
I looked back. Murong Mingyue and He Yi's rooms were dark. They should be asleep.
I went back to my room and made instant noodles. I sweated in the process, so I took a shower and went to bed. It was already 3 am.
But I couldn’t fall asleep. After more than an hour, I had a wild thought. Is Lin Yixin asleep?
I smiled at the thought. I took out my phone and sent a message to her: ”Your posture isn't right. Get up and lay down properly!”
After a few minutes, Lin Yixin sent me a message: ”I’m gonna kill you!”
