Chapter 365: Don’t Forget Your Room Cards (1/2)
Lin Yixin blinked at me. ”You killed Ziyu alone, didn’t you? Are you sure you want to give this Bloodboil to me?”
I nodded. ”Sure, but you participated in the fight too, didn’t you? Just think of it as a participation reward or something…”
Lin Yixin covered her mouth and giggled. ”Just surprised that my participation reward is this great, that’s all. Alright then!”
She accepted the skill book and used it immediately, the item turning into a ray of light and entered her body. With this, Lin Yixin’s survivability had greatly increased. When we reached the late game where everyone’s HP numbered in the tens of thousands, this skill would surely show its true worth!
I yawned and said, ”Alright, you can get back to your grinding now. I’m going to finish my fourth promotion quest and go to bed immediately afterward. I haven’t slept a wink since yesterday…”
”Mn!” Lin Yixin shot me a long look before smiling. ”Thanks!”
”We’re well past the stage of pleasantries already, don’t you think?”
”...”
Before she left, Lin Yixin entrusted me the rest of the Frozen Earth set pieces. After that, I sent He Yi a message: ”Where are you, Eve? I have a skill book for you. If sis is with you, tell her to come over as well…”
He Yi replied quickly, ”Okay, we’re coming back right now!”
A few seconds later, my beautiful leader, busty priest, and dark archer appeared at the teleportation formation and walked up to me.
I passed He Yi the Green Wave Slash skill book and told her to learn it. She accepted it and used it without a word. The next moment, she swung her arm diagonally and fired a long, bluish sword aura at the city walls!
Boom!
The attack didn’t do any damage, but the city walls still vibrated a little from the impact. The commotion immediately caused a couple of stall owners to look over in surprise.
”What a powerful skill, hehe…” He Yi said dazedly. ”Lu Chen, is this one of the loots of the boss you fought for god knows how long earlier?”
”Yep. It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”
”Mn mn!”
With that done, I passed Murong Mingyue the Scepter of Snow Region’s Heart. ”Sis, this here is a Level 105 Purple Gold–grade scepter. It’s very powerful, so grind hard and get to Level 105 as soon as possible, okay?”
”Ah?”
Murong Mingyue’s mouth fell open as she stared at the scepter in her hands. She was so shocked and excited that her breasts were moving up and down according to her breathing and causing saliva to drip off the mouths of the surrounding players.
He Yi giggled at her antics.
Beiming Xue said, ”What are you two planning to do when you reach the inn? Oh well, don’t forget your room cards…”
Murong Mingyue and I vomited blood at the same time.
……
I decided to obey Murong Mingyue’s whim after a moment of consideration. It was a fact that I was about to run out of steam very soon, and I could certainly afford the time to eat before completing my fourth promotion quest. I definitely couldn’t go to bed just yet though. Candlelight Shadow was still at Level 99, but he couldn’t be too far behind. If I wanted to maximize his displeasure, then I had to become the first fourth-promotion player!
After logging off the game and getting out of my room, I saw Murong Mingyue and Beiming Xue exiting their rooms as well. I asked, ”What are we eating?”
Murong Mingyue immediately took out some frozen food from the fridge and left to reheat them. Meanwhile, Beiming Xue passed me a glass of warm water before smiling. ”Big bro, how do you feel after being online for so long?”
I thought for a moment before answering, ”I feel a bit weak, and I really need to go to the toilet…”
Beiming Xue: ”You’re so strong…”
……
The food Murong Mingyue brought me was pretty good. After gulping down two big glasses of water, I spent ten minutes annihilating everything on the table before wiping away the oil on my mouth in satisfaction. ”Damn, that was good. Anyway, I’m going to do my fourth promotion quest now. You two should grind hard as well. I’ll party you both and take you on a leveling trip after I’m finished. I’m very strong right now!”
”Okay!” both girls answered with a smile on their faces.
The first thing I did after returning online was to head to the auction house and turn in all the equipment sets Lin Yixin and I had collected so far. The Level 95 Silver-grade Frozen Earth set wasn’t especially good, so it failed to trigger a system announcement. The Blood Maddened Lion set though was unquestionably an auction item that deserved a free advertisement from the system itself—
Ding~!
System Announcement: All players, please be informed that player XXXX has put up the Blood Maddened Lion 5-piece Equipment Set (LV-115, Gold-grade, 1-star Outstanding. Overall Stats: 1175 Defense, 908 Magic Resist, Strength +240, Stamina +185, Agility +114, Attack +24%.

The item will enter the bidding phase at 20:00 today. All interested players, please proceed to the auction house and take your numbers before the auction starts!
……
The Blood Maddened Lion set was without a doubt the strongest available equipment set in Heavenblessed right now. Equipment sets were rare in the first place, and high-grade equipment sets even more so. I was certain that today’s auction would be one for the history books of Sky City!
I also put up the Chest Armor of Barbaric Strength for auction, but the Level 95 Dark Gold–grade equipment failed to trigger any system announcement. Damn, the system doesn’t like promoting any equipment that isn’t Outstanding!
I also dumped every other equipment else I had gotten from the grind on the auction house as well. I priced the best ones myself and let the system decide the rest. So far, the system hadn’t disappointed me yet.
