CHAPTER 16 (1/2)

Assembly Task

Jiang Xie wondered, “Why?”

The silver-haired elf, who was like an ice flower, laughed like a duck. “You are asking why? You designed that fucking world. Who wouldn’t want to kill you?”

Jiang Xie paused before firmly saying, “No, it is just a game.”

Yan Zhe’s face was full of gloating. “Don’t forget that your little rose is just an ordinary person. He had to accept the baptism of your old rogue soul at the age of 19. He must be doubting life!”

Jiang Xie refuted, “He isn’t so fragile.”

Yan Zhe dealt a blow to his heart. “He isn’t fragile. He just holds a grudge!”

Jiang Xie, “…”

Yan Zhe saw the rare scene of Old Jiang being stunned and his mood was very good. His footsteps were almost floating as he left. If his fans and sisters saw this, they would doubt themselves. Wasn’t this their untouchable and high flower? Who was this stupid ass?

Once Yan Zhe left, Jiang Xie stroked the air and the water curtain appeared. He opened the communication section and sent a message to Xie Xi: [Hello.]

The word sank like a stone. There wasn’t even a sound, let alone a reply.

…Was he really angry?

Jiang Xie thought this and the corners of his mouth rose upwards.

Zhong Jin had been talking for a long time. After his mouth became dry, he summed it up. “Well, they are all characters in the sky. We can’t see them.”

Xie Xi nodded. It was best not to see them.

Zhong Jin saw that his little friend didn’t speak much but didn’t mind. He was still enthusiastic. “Let’s go, I will take you to change professions.”

Xie Xi emerged from his thoughts and asked, “Do I have to change it now?”

“Of course,” Zhong Jin replied. “It is a waste not to change professions.”

Zhong Jin patiently explained to him the rules of the Central World and Xie Xi developed a general understanding of his environment.

The place they were currently in was called ‘Central’. Of course, everyone was used to calling it the Central World. Everyone who came here were ‘players’ selected by the central government. Their mission was obvious: achieve a certain goal in different quasi-worlds.

Players also had a rating from beginner, intermediate, advanced and finally god. By continuously completing tasks, they would accumulate experience and improve their level.

The difference between beginner and god level was huge. Thus, the time spent in the Central World was different.

Beginner players could only stay for one or two days, intermediate players were one to two weeks, advanced players were one or two months and god players had no restrictions.

Zhong Jin explained, “That’s why I suggest you don’t touch the entertainment items. Many new players who come to the Central World eat, drink and have fun. They forget the time and after two days, they directly turn to ash.”

Xie Xi was stunned. “Turned to ash?”

“Yes, our physique isn’t good and we can’t bear too much of the force of the central government.”

“The force?”

Zhong Jin knew he misunderstood and clarified, “It is their will. I don’t really understand it. Just know that the central government is full of power and beginner players can’t bear too much. If they stay too long, they will be swallowed up.”

Xie Xi nodded. “Then in two days, I have to start a new…” He wanted to say game but changed it into, “Task?” He noticed that although Zhong Jin mentioned players, he described the game as quasi-world.

Zhong Jin agreed loudly. “Yes! That’s why we must hurry to change professions. It is only after changing professions that we can accumulate professional experience.” If they wanted to move from beginning to intermediate, they must first have a job.

Xie Xi understood.

Zhong Jin asked him again, “Do you have a profession you want to choose?”

He could only choose between explorer, collector and recorder.

Xie Xi was still thinking about it when Zhong Jin suggested. “In fact, you don’t need to worry too much. As long as you have enough silver coins, you can change professions at will. The loss is just a bit of experience and our time is based on when we passed the Central World. Thus, don’t be afraid. If you choose a profession you don’t like, you can change it.”

Just losing a little bit of experience? Xie Xi stared at Zhong Jin and didn’t say anything.

Zhong Jin continued, “Think about it first. By the way, search for your next task as well. You can choose a profession based on the next task.”

Zhong Jin’s advice was good and Xie Xi told him, “Thank you, I will take a look first.”

Zhong Jin smiled. “Don’t mention it. I’m just learning how to show off!”

Xie Xi smiled back at him. Then he placed a hand in the water curtain and carefully took a look at his situation.

He could only stay in Central for two days. This meant he had to familiarize himself with the situation as much as possible before proceeding to the next game.

What about after finishing the next game? Would he be able to go back to his original world in the future?

Xie Su flashed through Xie Xi’s mind. She was pregnant and would have a new child. She didn’t need him at all.
