Chapter 37: Crimson Mercenaries (2/2)
“Yeah!”
We decided the name of our studio with the drop of a hammer and planned on how to publicize our studio in the future. Du s.h.i.+ San posted a post on the forums, t.i.tled, “Crimson Mercenaries studio had started business. We accept requests such as killing BOSS, PK for revenge, finis.h.i.+ng quests, help to get chicks and so on. Please contact Du s.h.i.+ San directly for more information.”
I am a busy person and all day long, I have to plan and prepare how to make high grade food items. Meanwhile, Ghost Valley was not proficient in socialising and was the type that doesn’t speak much. Only Du s.h.i.+ San was the most suitable since he had an unceasing eloquence. It was a waste not to make use of it.
Once everything was planned out, an A4 paper that said “Crimson Mercenaries Studio” was printed and stuck onto the gate. I had an awesome feeling then, like we were an actual army.
We ate packed lunch for dinner as we really did not have much more funds to spare. Ghost Valley expressed his understanding, and at the same time said that he himself was also a poor beggar. He only brought RMB500 with him, but he contributed it all to us. Such a selfless chap was not easy to be found nowadays.
At night, we went online!
”Shua!”
The scene that greeted before me was hazy and filled with dust. This was the scene inside my tomb. I pushed my coffin and crawled out. When I lifted my head, I found a pair of snow white thighs right in front of my face. Looking up, the view of the perfectly curved long legs was disrupted by a blue short skirt. Looking further up, I saw a slim stomach, followed by magnificent ridges covered by an exquisitely-made female armor!
“Uhh&h.e.l.lip;”
I gulped down my saliva. Who was this person in front of me?
The owner of the long legs looked at me at a 45 degrees angle and said with a despised tone, “You are finally willing to come online!?”
The person who came was Lin Yi Xin. Amongst all the pretty girls in the game, she is probably the only one who knows that the resting place of Fallen Hero is in such a desolate place.
I reluctantly stood up, secretly sighing in admiration at her alluring physique. I shouted: “Beauty Lin, you wouldn’t be here for no reason. So what’s up?”
Lin Yi Xin chuckled, “Little liar, do you know what is my secondary profession?”
“I don’t.” I shook my head and at the same time, tried to correct her: “And I’m not a little liar.”
“How are you not a little liar? You almost caused me to have no money for potions!”
Lin Yi Xin fumed and looked at me, as though she wanted to consume me in one mouthful.
I quickly changed the topic: “What did you say was your secondary profession?”
“Harvesting medicinal herbs!” Lin Yi Xin pursed her lips, saying: “Let’s go. Today I am going to a relatively dangerous map and I want to bring a bodyguard.”
“You need me to protect you while you harvest?” I found it a little difficult to accept this. Although it was an enjoyment having a beauty to accompany me in the game, I am an upright youth and should not be intoxicated by the charm of women&h.e.l.lip;at least not for a prolonged time.
Lin Yi Xin looked at me. It was as though she saw through my thoughts and could not help laughing: “I am harvesting medicinal herbs and not flowers. Why that worked up expression?”
“Which map is it that even you have no confidence of handling?” I seriously asked.
Lin Yi Xin nodded: “ Uh, it is the Limestone Valley to the south of Floating Ice City. There are Lv 3 Dream Gra.s.s growing there and it is an essential ingredient to make Lv 3 potions.”
“Your harvesting skill is at Lv 3 already?” I was quite surprised.
Lin Yi Xin nodded and laughed, sticking out her ample chest. She proudly said: “That’s right, I have increased my Potions Skill to Lv 3 seventeen hours ago. Isn’t it admirable?”
I shot a glance and helplessly said: “What do I have to admire? My hunting skills had already risen to Lv 4 forty-eight hours ago&h.e.l.lip;”
“Ah?!”
Lin Yi Xin was stamping her feet in anger but she could not do anything to me.
“Oh right, Beauty Lin.” I reminded her: “I have joined the Crimson Mercenaries Studio so I will no longer be free labour. I can go with you to the Limestone Valley but you have to pay for my services.”
Lin Yi Xin stared at me with disdain in her beautiful pupils: “You! Is there only money in your eyes???”
“Not really. Do you still want me to follow you?”
“Yes, why wouldn’t I!”
Lin Yi Xin looked towards the south and said: “It will take about five hours of your time. Two gold per hour with a total of ten gold. Is that OK?”
“Deal. Let’s go!”
“Yeah. Let’s go!”
Lin Yi Xin pulled me into a party. Ding! The system notified: Players Wind Fantasy and Fallen Hero has joined the party!
Great. These two IDs which were considered well-known in Floating Ice City were actually in the same party now. Fate could sometimes be so magical.
