Chapter 28-30 (1/2)
“Earlier Beancurd and I have try killing the monster for a long time, but always fail, this time because of Brother Song leading skill we are able to kill the earthworm and complete our quest.” Alone Survival says slowly. “As for Beancurd and I, just this key and the chest will do.”
“Correct, just this key and the chest will do. Brother Song you keep the dagger.” Fermented Beancurd says after realizing that this time round, Bai Song is the main reason for being able to kill the earthworm.
“Fine then.” Bai Song keeps the dagger and say: “I shall accept the dagger.”
Opening the chest, they looted a disk shape object which they are unable to identify, hence it is the quest item. After they have finish distribution the loot, it also means that their time together will temporary come to an end.
“Brother Song, Survival and I shall go and hand in the quest, later on there will be a follow-up quest, do you want to come along?” Fermented Beancurd asks.
Bai Song shakes his head and says helplessly: “Even if I go along and complete the quest with you, I will not be able to get the quest rewards, isn’t it torturous for me?”
“It seems to be that case…” Fermented Beancrud touches his ear in embarra.s.sment: “It really seems to be the case. How about we do the level 10 dungeons together afterward when we reach the level?”
“When I reach level 10 then we talk about it again.” Bai Song gives a reply that neither reject nor agree to the question.

After adding as friends, Alone Survival nods his head towards Bai Song before leaving with Fermented Beancurd and go backs to the city.
After the two of them have left, Bai Song suddenly feels slightly tired, originally he have planned to grind for a while longer, but his luck is quite bad. Other than the Sneak skill book that he have originally gotten, there is no other skill books that drop.
<system notice:=”” there=”” is=”” someone=”” knocking=”” of=”” the=”” gaming=”” capsule=”” in=”” the=”” real=”” life.=””>
The gaming capsule have interaction functions that can be set-up, such as when being touch, it will send the user a notice, it can also treat anomalies such as knock on the door and send a notice. As Bai Song is alone at home, if he loses the ability to know what is happening in the real world while he is playing, if someone comes and look for people it will be very troublesome.
After all you get what you paid for, 20k price tag is not without reason.
The middle of the mountain does not lack years, the cave lightings are all dependent of the torches, and hence it is hard to determine if it is daytime or night. Bai Song found a corner and logs off.
Opening the capsule, the afternoon sunrays s.h.i.+nes pa.s.s the window panel onto Bai Song’s face, blinding him temporarily.
Bai Song rubs his eyes, after wearing his slipper, he opens the door and sees Qiu Yu who is carrying multiple heavy bag of items. Bai Song immediately takes the large bag of rice, lightening Qiu Yu load.
“There is no more rice?” Bai Song remembers that the rice bucket is still half full.
Qiu Yu smiles faintly and replies: “The west district supermarket is selling rice at half price, so I conveniently bought it when I was returning from there.”
West district…
Bai Song was startled. The roads in west district are currently under construction hence the public buses have to detour around it, if you want to take the bus, you need to walk quite a few miles. Bai Song does no know what to say when he thinks of Qui Yu walking such a long distance with such heavy loads.
After closing the window, Qiu Yu is just nice standing beside the window, the sunlight s.h.i.+nes of her breathtaking appearance, her slightly dishevel wavy long hair and her alluring calf covered slightly by her woman’s suit.
Anyone who sees her will definitely says that such a beautiful woman does not deserve to stay in such a narrow dusky room.
“Aren’t you suppose to eat lunch in the office? Why did you come back?” Bai Song helps Qiu Yu to wash the vegetables. Despite Bai Song is very clumsy, Qiu Yu is very happy.
“Oh, the nutrient solution is quite expensive, thinking that there is not more food at home, hence decided to buy some food home. Every bit we save is precious.” Qiu Yu smiles faintly as she puts on her ap.r.o.n.
A not sumptuous but delicious lunch was soon prepared… actually it is only fried cabbage with a bit of meat. While Blossom is in the kindergarten, the meal quality have drop once again.
“Just now after buying the rice, I seems to see Liu Jing.” Qiu Yu suddenly place her bowl down and says worriedly: “I sees him eating his meal in a part.i.tioned box in a stall outside his office. His complexion seems to be haggard.”
Liu Jing working are is in the west district.
“Is that so.” Bai Song blank for a moment before continuing to eat his lunch.
“I can temporary think of some ways to settle our rent, go and return the money you borrow from him okay?” Qiu Yu tugs Bai Song lightly hinting to him not to eat first. “Last time you said that his child is just born, we have also experience that phase, you know as well, I am afraid that he alone is unable to handle it.”
“Yes…” Bai Song swallows down his food with a few large bites. Afterwards he wash the bowl and say: “I go and do something first.”
Qiu Yu looks worriedly at Bai Song back view but does not say anything.
After removing his slippers, Bai Song lets go of an impure air before climbing into the gaming capsule, the view in front of him change and he successfully login.
In the dark cave where there is no light, Bai Song frowns before heading back to the village.
Underneath a stone bridge that only four person can walk together shoulder to shoulder is a slow flowing rivulet. The bright yellow gra.s.s surround the pinwheel. As the breeze flow by softly, the gra.s.s moves along with the breeze, the pinwheel as usual continues to spin.
The streamlet outside of the village is not very deep but narrow, Bai Song sits beside the bank of the streamlet and like the main character in the TV shows, hold a piece of gra.s.s in his mouth. Looking at the streamlet, Bai Song smiles knowingly, in the past, he have built a canoe and often have fun rowing the canoe in this streamlet.
Bai Song lies down of the gra.s.s beside the streamlet and spit out the gra.s.s in his mouth. “Really don’t understand what is the point of holding this gra.s.s in the mouth, those main characters in the TV show always like to hold a gra.s.s in their mouth.”
“If I sell the Earthworm Dagger, I can return Liu Jing the 20k I borrowed and there should be surplus that can be given to him. But is there any other better methods other than selling the Earthworm Dagger?” Bai Song raise his head and looks at the blue sky filled with clouds blobbing along and sign. “No matter what is said, Lu Ying that fellow really makes people worried, could an accident have happen?”
In the previous life, Liu Jing did not divorce at all, hence Bai Song did not know that Liu Jing and his wife are about to divorce.
“There should be a better method right?” Bai Song lies on the gra.s.s patch, feeling the breeze flowing pa.s.s his face and close his eyes.
As Bai Song is lying very close to the stone bridge, among the players who are walking through and fro the bridge, there is a player that there is a person lying there and sleeping, but in this fast pace gaming life, where have time to bother about him.
At this time, a male wand user on the bridge sees Bai Song who is lying on the gra.s.s patch.
“Expert, I can’t see that you are actually quite carefree, I really admire you.” Bai Song open his eyes and take a look, it is actually Spectral Fire.
“So it is Fire Guild leader, I am not as carefree as you are saying, my thinking is rigid hence decided to rest and reorganize a bit.” Bai Song who was lying on the gra.s.s patch sits up and shakes his head with a bitter laugh.
Looking at Spectral Fire, at this time a brilliant idea flashes through Bai Song mind.
“Fire Guild leader, I have a large business here, do you want to make a deal?” Bai Song looks at Spectral Fire with his eyes s.h.i.+ning.
When Spectral Fire hears Bai Song mention a big business, he immediately became happy.
“Let’s hear what you have to say.” Spectral Fire lifts up a piece of gra.s.s and hang it in his mouth.
“…” Bai Song looks at the piece of gra.s.s that Spectral Fire puts into his mouth, it is the pluck from the area where he have just stepped on. But Bai Song does not reveal it as important matters are more urgent. “Fire Guild Leader, I shall boldly ask a question, is your guild currently strategizing for Abandon Mine or Farmland?”
“It is not bold at all, if you ask around you will be able to know.” Spectral Fire is still able to talk properly despite holding a piece of gra.s.s in his mouth. “The elite team is currently trying to clear the normal stage of Abondan Mine. As for their progress, it should be consider quite fast at around 70%. Oh right, please don’t tell other people of our progress.”
Bai Song nods his head and smiles mysteriously causing Spectral Fire to ask curiously: “Brother Song? Could it be that you have heard of someone who have cleared the dungeon?”
Bai Song shakes his head.
“Then why do you smile so mysteriously?” Spectral Fire feels slightly ridiculous.
Looking at Spectral Fire serious expression, Bai Song decided not to conceal anymore, expectation is expectation but it is still not good to be too much. “Is Fire Guild leader interesting in clearing h.e.l.l stage?”
“h.e.l.l Stage?” Spectral Fire touches his wand and ask inquiringly: “Are you saying about the h.e.l.l Stage for Abandon Mines?”
“Yes.” Bai Song nods faintly.
“Are you for real? Is there really a way? Brother Song are you one of the beta testers?” Spectral Fire is unable to hold his cool and asks excitedly.
Bai Song remain lying on the ground not replying.
“Sorry for being rude.” Only then Spectral Fire realize that he have asked this question before, says happily: “Brother Song tell me of your conditions, after we have cleared the dungeon I will definitely fulfil it.”
Bai Song stops acting cold and says: “Fire Guildleader…”
“Just call me Hidden Fire, this is what my friends call me.” Spectral Fire says amiably.
“Okay, Hidden Fire.” Bai Song paused for a moment: “I indeed have a method of clearing Wind Edge Abandon Mine dungeon, but…”
“Just speak your mind.” Spectral Fire hints to Bai Song to continue.
“I have some request which can be a bit demanding. From all of the drops, I will have the priority to choose any three regardless if I am able to use it.” Seeing Spectral Fire expressionless face, Bai Song continues: “On the other hand I need your guild to pay me 40k cash up front.”
“Brother Song, I am unable to agree to you last request.” Spectral Fire signs. “Actually there is no way around it. Even if I believe in your abilities, the other people in the guild are not convinced. Furthermore I am only the vice-guildleader.”
The bobs of clouds in the sky slowly gather together.
Bai Song also knows that his request is overbearing, hence in the end he took out a dagger, the dagger is slightly longer than the usually dagger by a bit, its appearance is very simple and unadorned but there is a faint hint of its brilliance.
Bai Song does not bother to show its attributes, instead he pa.s.ses it to Spectral Fire. When Spectral Fire receives the dagger he immediately checks its attributes.
“Brother Song are you selling this dagger?” Spectral Fire is slightly shock when he have seen the attributes, as the dagger is of a more excellent quality then the silver grade wand he is using.
“Not selling.” Bai Song keeps the dagger. “If I use this dagger as a collateral can you pa.s.s me the 40k first? If we are unable to clear, I am willing to give up the dagger.”
“Deal! No problem.” Spectral Fire immediately pats his chest and guarantee: “In this case, I believe that no one will be able to disagree.”
The wind in the sky manages to form, but after a breeze it disperse.
At the entrance of the underground Abandon Mine dungeon.
“Just a bit more, the party got wipe near the end, just that last stretch and we are able to clear it.”
“It is really hard, don’t know if there is any guild that will be able to clear the dungeon by today.”
The two player just came out from the dungeon. They are chatting while waiting for their teammates to recover their health.
One of the players pointed at the progress board and say: “Eh, you look, a guild just successfully cleared the dungeon, their guild name is…. It is actually Glorious Guild people.”
“Glorious Guild is the first to clear the normal stage, this can allow them to leave the other guilds behind but I still disapprove of Glorious Guild as they are too overbearing.”
“Oi! Softer a bit, the Glorious Guild people are coming out. A few days ago there is a player who have angered the Glorious Guild and they have declared that they will not let him get to level 11.”
“Yes yes…”
