Chapter 624 - Your Position Decides Your Attitude (1/2)
Schuck leaned against the wall rather helplessly.
He didn’t want his friend to see what just happened to him; it was too embarrassing.
He was not that kind of good-for-nothing gigolo in reality.
Although his wife owned the cold drink store and was in charge of most things, he was responsible for purchases and marketing.
So, while the outsiders viewed him as a gigolo, his friends knew that he did a lot of work.
However… he did become a gigolo in the game. “You’ve finally become the person you hate most,” remarked Roland with a smile.
Schuck had always said that he despised gigolos the most.
As it turned out, he had become one in the game.
Schuck heaved a long sigh. “I didn’t want to be a gigolo, but this class is unbelievably powerful and comes with crazy benefits. My boss is beautiful and friendly. What can I do?”
He sounded rather displeased yet gloating. Roland was of a mind to beat him up. Even his friend felt that way. It was unnecessary to say how agitated the audience was in the stream channel. “I want to cut him down. What should I do?”
“Just do it!”
“What are you thinking? Did you not see that the Church of Light is organizing a crusade just because he was beaten back by the cute vampire girl from the Netherworld? If you attack him in the game, all the clerics of the Church of Light will come after you.” “F*ck! I want a majestic and beautiful boss at my back too!”
“You can find such bosses, but they’re mostly obese and have faces as big as pies.” “Stop speaking. I’m seeing them in my head.”
“As long as they give me money, I’m willing to take them even if their faces are as big as plates. Don’t you see that Schuck is living on a woman too?”
“But his boss is beautiful. So beautiful.”
“I feel hurt, I want to curse.”
“Not just Schuck, even Roland seems to be protected by a goddess too. Doesn’t he have the Life Goddess’s Button?” “Tsk, tsk tsk. Those two are like goddess heartthrobs.”
They lingered for a while, and then Schuck said, “Let’s go. I already told the goddess not to launch a crusade.”
“I think the goddess must’ve given you something awesome for self-defense since she likes you so much.” Roland’s eyebrows shivered. “Show it to me.”
“Why are you so smart? I was thinking to take it out at the critical moment and surprise you.”
Slightly bummed, Schuck took a longsword out of the system Backpack. It was a regular sword with a regular white grip and a bright golden body.
It didn’t have any decorations or carvings and looked quite plain.
However, on the system menu, the stats of this item went like this:
Item: Holy Sword of Light (Divine Artifact)
Attributes: Penetration 28, Cleavage 33.
Abilities: Sharp Edge (law-level), Light Strengthening (law-level), Morale Boost Aura (law-level), Indestructible (law-level).
Description: The Goddess of Light’s sword can only be wielded by those she approves.
Roland had a strong toothache reading the stats.
as so
The weapon he had seen with the highest status was Andonara’s Hero’s Sword. It was so powerful that he didn’t think he could show it to anyone else, or they would try to rob her of it.
Yet, this Holy Sword of Light had even better stats than the Hero’s Sword.
Even more unbelievably, the weapon had multiple law-level special abilities.
“Awesome!” Roland raised his thumb.
With this weapon, it would be easier to deal with the True Ancestor of vampires.
The players in the stream channel saw the stats of the weapon too.
They were both jealous and regretful.
The rich players, in particular, could’ve tried to purchase the weapon with a fortune if it were regular.
However, this weapon was clearly bound to Schuck.
Only those approved by the Goddess of Light could use it.
At this moment, Schuck was probably the only person in the whole server that the Goddess of Light appreciated.
After examining the weapon, Roland took Schuck to the Netherworld.
Because the Netherworld belonged to another plane, the teleportation was much more difficult. Roland didn’t come over after a failed attempt.
But fortunately, no greater losses were caused than a damaged teleportation magic array, which he had to repair with some magic materials.
It was just the loss of several gold coins.
After the teleportation, Roland reached out to Li Lin and the others in the guild chat. He then contacted the squad in black from the resistance and met with them. They made a thorough plan of attack against the True Ancestor of vampires.
In the Ten Thousand Stones Abyss, Lilith was still angry.
According to her subordinates’ investigation, everybody in the Ten Thousand Stones Abyss was rather ill at ease.
The sunlight had made a huge impact on the Ten Thousand Stones Abyss.
Undercurrents were surging below the surface too.
Many people were even hoping to learn teleportation.
Few people in the Netherworld knew teleportation. Even if they did, they were just Mr. Nobodies who didn’t have much expertise.
It was already impressive enough if they could flash.
In the Netherworld, Sophie was best at cross-plane teleportation, followed by Lilith.
She certainly wouldn’t teach spatial magic to anyone else.
If she taught them, a lot of them might leave, and being a queen would be boring if she had few subjects. Also, a smaller population meant less food for the vampires.
That was the last thing she wanted to see.
Watching her puffed cheeks, her maid poked it and smiled. “Stop doing that, master. You look like a frog. It’s not pretty.”
“You have never seen a frog before.”
“But you told me what it looks like.” The maid smiled. “You told me stories and even painted a frog for me when I was little. You don’t remember now?”
“It was more than a hundred years ago. How can I possibly remember?”
The maid smiled and smoothly poured red wine for Lilith.
Then, she shook the wine pot in her hand and said, “Master, we’re out of wine. I’ll get you some fresh virgin blood.”
“Okay, be quick.”
The master nodded and backed off.
After leaving the central palace, the maid walked straight downstairs.
After four flights of stairs, she came to a floor which had many rooms.
There was a balcony here where she could see the rooms down below, as well as the girls in white who were laughing and running on the street outside.
She observed them for a while and then walked down.
The girls here were having a great time.
They were chatting or chasing each other in the open. As the vampires’ most important source of food, they enjoyed privileges that the ordinary people of the Netherworld couldn’t imagine.
They had the best food and the cleanest water.
They could also bathe every day.
The only thing they needed to do was to stay and live here.
But they didn’t have to stay for a lifetime.
They would be set free after 25. Then, they could proudly return home with the money they’d saved for more than ten years.
The only thing they needed to give away was their blood.
It wasn’t much. Only a tiny vial of blood was fetched every three days. Occasionally, it was fetched more frequently, but they always had great food as compensation.
The maid walked down. Many girls stopped and curtsied after seeing her. “Chief Nicole, you’ve been troubled.”
