Chapter 48 – Ice Rose Alliance (2/2)

Reckless Blow!

Just as the mage on the right side finished casting her spell and the mage on the left raised her arm in preparation of her own spell, Fatty suddenly attacked.

-276

A blood red number rose up above the mage’s head. Fatty then immediately used combo before his target could react and ended her life.

Cling. A wristguard dropped. Fatty quickly picked it up, activated Invisibility and Acceleration, then sprinted into the cave.

“Ahh!” The mage on the right side let out a short scream. Fatty turned around for a brief glance and saw an assassin in pure black appear out of stealth with a sinister smile before disappearing again.

“We’re under attack!” the warriors only managed to react when the two assassins disappeared. They hacked randomly in their surroundings and called out loudly.

…

“What? The one who attacked you was Money Grubber?” Two beautiful and voluptuous female players were strolling around Black Tortoise City when they received a report from their subordinates.

One of them had a had an expression as cold as ice, while the other seemed like a blooming flower. Indeed, the two of them were the guild masters of the Ice Rose Alliance, Ice Witch and Rosethorn.

“Lil’ Sis, our people taking over the Bat Cave were attacked. One of the attackers is called Money Grubber, do you want to go over and take a look?” Rosethorn smiled towards Ice Witch after putting her communicator away.

“Money Grubber? The ex-number one?” Ice Witch snorted coldly. “He’s just the former number one, nothing special. He probably isn’t even in the top hundreds right now. We have to hurry up and ally with the other large guilds. Just let our subordinates take care of a small fry like him.”

“You’re right,” Rosethorn nodded, then put the topic aside. “I wonder what’s the situation at Azure Dragon City. Fierce Dragon TheTalent is an intelligent person, he won’t agree that easily.”

…

When Fatty entered the Bat Cave in stealth, he didn’t go into the depths immediately. Instead, he chose to wait at a place without any monsters.

Not long later, a series of footsteps rang out and a player of rather short player walked over. His eyes brightened when he saw Fatty.

“LeftHandofGod,” the short assassin introduced himself.

“Money Grubber,” Fatty nodded.

“Haha, as expected of the former number one. Your attacks were very swift and deadly,” LeftHandofGod smiled.

“You’re flattering me, it was just a surprise attack,” Fatty replied indifferently. “But Brother Left Hand’s attack was truly a sight to behold.”

The two assassins laughed loudly.

“We’re two assassins of the shadows, so let’s stop flattering each other,” LeftHandofGod smiled. “I heard TheFugitive talk about you. He said he really admires you, but…”

LeftHandofGod hesitated for a moment.

“But what? Say it!” Fatty hurried. Just what nice things can that sleazy guy say about me?

“But he only admires your skill. He views your personality with disdain,” LeftHandofGod smiled wryly.

“F*ck, that mother*cker! Oh my f*cking shit… he actually dare to view my personality in disdain? His personality is not even worthy of my disdain!” Fatty roared in anger.

“Haha,” LeftHandofGod laughed. However, since he looked a bit sinister, his laughter wasn’t a nice view either. Instead, it was kind of like when TheFugitive laughed. “You’re right, even after so many years, I can’t compare up to him. Brother Grubber, did you come here to mine?”

“No, I have a mission to do here. Is Brother Left Hand here to mine?

“Haha, no,” LeftHandofGod smiled. “Would you believe me if I say I was just passing by?”

“Yes, of course I do,” Fatty nodded. “Since that’s the case, then let’s go back to do our own things?”

“Then excuse me. But be careful of the Ice Rose Alliance. The two guild masters are not people you should easily offend,” LeftHandofGod smiled meaningfully, then went into stealth and left.

“They aren’t people that should be easily offended, but Lord Fatty is?” Fatty muttered to himself and walked over to where the old skeleton was.

He did not start doing the mission in a hurry. Instead, he took out Blacksmith’s Tool and began to mine next to the old skeleton.

The Bat Cave is a proper mining area. The only reason why players didn’t mine inside was because of the Vampiric Bats in the way. When I complete the mission and the Vampiric Bats disappear, then it’ll be filled with people. There’s already a guild trying to privatize the area, so I can already imagine what the cave is going to be like after I complete my mission. I might as well mine some ores now.

Cling. Cling.

Fatty swung his pickaxe and saw pieces of ores fly up. Iron ores, bronze ores… There were even a small number of gold and silver ores.

As Fatty watched the number of ores in his inventory increase, he wouldn’t help but start regretting everything. Damn, if I knew this was the case, then I should have trained the Mining skill a lot more. Novice Mining really doesn’t get me anything good.

After mining few a while and stuffing a large portion of his inventory with ores, he suddenly stood up and muttered to himself. “Mmm, it’s about time they come in.”
