Night had fallen. In Su Zhou, the night scene was extremely hazy. Rows of nightlife houses lied in disarray, pink lights shone inside the houses, revealing the attractive women inside.
On the road side, a small stall was open. This kind of small stall was called an ‘open-air restaurant’. It was similar to the stall in the movie of The G.o.d of Cookery, where the chef had cooked dishes from unsanitary ingredients.
(s.h.i.+ro: /wiki/The_G.o.d_of_Cookery)
In one of the tables in the open-air restaurant, three youths were talking loudly happily. That’s right, these youths were Du s.h.i.+ San, Ghost Valley and I. Delicious dishes, beers and alcohol cups filled the whole table. Drinking and eating with friends in such a beautiful summer night was a kind of enjoyment.
“Today, Boss Broken Spear’s killing move for Shadow Maple was really amazing!” Ghost Valley gulped a cup of alcohol and wiped his mouth, chuckling, “An attack that inflicted over 1400 damage, seems like that kid would be really shocked&h.e.l.lip;”
Du s.h.i.+ San asked again, “Lu Chen, what’s that attack’s skill name? How can it inflict so much damage?”
I put down my chopsticks and laughed, “It’s called [Vindicate]. The first attack would be a miss, that’s why it is called [Vindicate]. However, the second attack would greatly increase my physical attack and lower my opponent‘s defense at the same time.”
“Haha, no wonder it’s so powerful&h.e.l.lip; Come, let’s toast to [Vindicate]!” Ghost Valley raised his cup and laughed loudly.
We all raised our cups and drunk our beer down.
I wiped the alcohol in the corners of my mouth and smiled, “Today is really not a bad first day. Crimson Mercenaries had gained a total profit of 16 gold on their opening day. That’s more or less around 1000RMB already. Our salary is almost at the level of a gold-collar’s salary, haha!”
Ghost Valley laughed and asked, “Boss, Brother B and I spent a ton of effort just to earn 5 gold, how could you earn 16 gold on your own?”
I laughed, “ I met a foolish and beautiful girl, it’s a pity if I don’t swindle her!”
Du s.h.i.+ San’s eyes immediately lighted up, “You are talking about Wind Fantasy -- Lin Yi Xin right?”
“Yeah.”
“Haha, not bad, not bad&h.e.l.lip;” Du s.h.i.+ San laughed out, but suddenly, he switched the topic and said, “Lu Chen, did you know Lin Yi Xin had a new nickname in Floating Ice City?”
“What nickname?” I was quite at a loss.
“Fruit Knife G.o.ddess&h.e.l.lip;” Du s.h.i.+ San guffawed.
“What the h.e.l.l? What kind of nickname is that&h.e.l.lip;?”
“I have no idea.” Du s.h.i.+ San paused a while, then continued, “In the forums, there are a lot of screenshots of Lin Yi Xin playing the game. A lot of them are pictures of her PKing someone. She always used a dagger to finish her opponents, but n.o.body knows what kind of skill she was using. Furthermore, she always liked to hold a dagger at hand, and she looked beautiful enough to tear heavens apart. I think that was how the name of ‘Fruit Knife G.o.ddess’ came about.”
A look of longing filled Du s.h.i.+ San’s eyes as he smiled, “Whoever could catch Lin Yi Xin in their hands will definitely have a perfect life&h.e.l.lip; If it was me, I won’t even trade it for an emperor’s position&h.e.l.lip;”
I couldn’t help but to laugh, “Forget it, brother, Lin Yi Xin is definitely not as simple as you think.”
“Why?” s.h.i.+ San was a little at a loss.
I put down my chopsticks again, and answered, full of a.n.a.lyses, “Firstly, Lin Yi Xin and I fought each other a few days ago and both of us dropped many levels. She didn’t want to have a formidable enemy like me, hence she requested to meet offline. Why did she think that meeting offline would resolve the enmity between us? That was because she was extremely confident with her beautiful looks.”
Pausing a little while, I continued, “Secondly, today, Lin Yi Xin had employed my service to escort her to the Bluestone Valley and gather Dream Gra.s.ses. But when we arrived there, we discovered that the Mad Dragon’s guild members were killing a BOSS monster. At this point, Lin Yi Xin had made use of me to help her kill steal the BOSS. She is a very clever girl, so she is definitely not the beautiful wallflower decoration that you think she is.”
“What&h.e.l.lip;”
Du s.h.i.+ San put down his chopsticks and chuckled, “Seems like this undercla.s.sman of ours, the beautiful school flower, is really not as simple as she seemed!”
I nodded, “That is correct, that is.”
Du s.h.i.+ San’s eyes then lighted up as he looked at me with a dubious intention, “Lu Chen, bring that Lin Yi Xin down!”
“What?” I suddenly froze, “d.a.m.n it, don’t joke around. I wouldn’t want that kind of school flower, or rather&h.e.l.lip; Cough, that person wouldn’t even be interested in me&h.e.l.lip;“
“Hey, you must bring her down!” Du s.h.i.+ San clenched his fists, and put up an appearance of a-strong-will-dominates-all att.i.tude as he continued, “Lin Yi Xin is the most beautiful woman in the Floating Ice City. Controlling her would be equivalent to controlling all the other beauties, and controlling all the other beauties would be equivalent to controlling all the girls in the Floating Ice City. Controlling all the girls in the Floating Ice City would be equivalent to controlling all the guys in the Floating Ice City, and controlling all the guys in the Floating Ice City would be equivalent to controlling the whole of the gaming world, and controlling the whole of gaming world would be equivalent to&h.e.l.lip;”
“Gulp!”
s.h.i.+ San suddenly gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and finally stopped, as if he knew that saying anything further would be extremely disgraceful.
s.h.i.+ San looked towards me and laughed, “Let me just ask you. Do you like this Lin Yi Xin, the school flower?”
I really wanted to hit his speaking pressure point so that he could stop talking. Who wouldn’t like such a beautiful and innocent looking girl? I couln’t help but laugh as I remembered her expression when I swindled 15 gold out of her.
“That, that&h.e.l.lip;” Du s.h.i.+ San immediately pointed at me, just as if he had caught a crime suspect red-handed, “You are laughing like a pervert, yet you still dared to say you are not interested in Lin Yi Xin at all?”
This concerned my reputation and integrity. I immediately denied him, “Stop it, I was laughing so warmly and innocently and you dared to accuse me of laughing like a pervert. You are just saying bulls.h.i.+t, you brat&h.e.l.lip; you are paying for the beer money today!”
s.h.i.+ San immediately kept silent. He and Ghost Valley, the two broke guys, were currently relying on me to pay for their living expenses.
We kept eating until around ten pm, then we went back to our house after drinking and eating our fill. Afterwards, the three of us vigorously went online to level and earn money.
&h.e.l.lip;..
“Shua!”
I went online and appeared at the Floating Ice City’s inn.
I had to do one important thing today, catching pets!
The rule in stated that only players level 30 and above could own a pet. Furthermore, there were still a lot to learn about pets.
Any kind of monsters could be trained as pets, but their growth rate were all different.
