Chapter 100 – The Pitiful Bai Xiaosheng (1/2)
“Bai Xiaosheng?” Fatty raised his eyebrows.
“You are…” Bai Xiaosheng was rather surprised to be recognized at first glance like this.
“Haha, how did the first player to enter the Imperial Capital and the sect master of the All-Knowing Sect end up in this sort of pitiful state?”
The person in front of him was nothing like the big boss of a the top information vendors in game. He was wearing some crappy leather armor with boots that look like some common items around level 20 something. What’s more, he only had one leg guard! If one were to just judge from his appearance, he was in a state even worse than the normal casual players!
“You are Money Grubber?” Bai Xiaosheng smiled after his shock wore off. “You managed to teleport here, so you must have some item that allows you to teleport.”
As expected of the All-Knowing Sect’s sect master. He guessed the right answer with nearly no information.
“You know of me?” It was Fatty’s turn to be shocked.
“I have heard of you,” Bai Xiaosheng nodded. The shambles covering his body was unable to hide his wisdom. “Did 093 explain my invitation to you in detail?”
“I wonder what did you invite so many experts for?” Fatty has been very confused about all that. According to what Bai Xiaosheng093 said, Bai Xiangsheng essentially invited the top experts from every single class ranking, and most of these experts had their own guilds. If one was to take that into account, then it would be the greatest force in the Chinese region. Fatty could not understand what Bai Xiaosheng gathered such a force together for.
“It is not time yet,” Bai Xiaosheng shook his head. “I can only tell you when we are all at least Level 50.”
Level 50? Fatty grew even more shocked. Gathering so many experts and waiting until Level 50…. That means Bai Xiaosheng’s plans are insane.
Bai Xiaosheng chuckled as he recalled Fatty’s shocking gaze when the latter scanned him earlier, “What? Do you think my items are terrible?”
“Not terrible, but they are lacking,” Fatty replied honestly.
“Haha, I presume 093 already told you about me?” Bai Xiaosheng smiled. “Although I reached outside the Imperial Capital a long time ago, I haven’t been able to enter. In fact, this is my first time in here.”
“It can’t be!” Fatty exclaimed. “Wait, did the guards not let you in?”
“Indeed,” Bai Xiaosheng said grumpily. “I tried to come in many times, but that damn guard said that the entry requirement of the Imperial Capital has not been reached, so nobody could enter.”
“Ahaha,” Fatty laughed. “So you have been waiting outside the entire time?”
Bai Xiaosheng said speechlessly. “I’ve been here for quite a while, but they refused me entry, so I could only stay outside. Although I can get some potion drops from monsters, I couldn’t get any real drops. The monsters around here are generally very high leveled, and even if I do all I can to kill them, I can use the items dropped. I was actually rather lucky to get a few useable drops in my journey. Otherwise, you’d be seeing a butt naked me now.”
“I thought you must have gotten a lot of benefits for being the first one reaching the Imperial Capital. I never expected that…” Fatty chuckled.
“Benefits? There were many occasions that I wanted to commit suicide just so I would respawn back in town. The monsters are tough and there is no place for me to replenish myself. More importantly, I still didn’t get my second enhancement yet. If the Imperial Capital still didn’t open up, then I definitely would have just committed suicide. Also, f*cking hell, although they said that the city was being opened up today, they asked me for identification! I would have definitely been killed if I wasn’t quick to think of something,” Bai Xiaosheng complained.
“Then, how did you enter?”
“I picked up a Holy Spirit Stone in the Ancient Battlefield along the way by chance. I told the guard that I am a disciple of a Grand Magus of Holy Light and lost my identification while training outside. He let me in after that.”
“Amazing!” Fatty praised. Bai Xiaosheng was definitely a spectacular player to have stayed in the wilderness the entire time and get into the Imperial City before getting a full set of items. I didn’t expect Holy Spirit Stones to possess such a use either. I should get a few more of those.
“I just got lucky. 093 said that you need Holy Spirit Stones?”
“Yeah, I need 5 for a mission. I wonder if you can give me a bit of guidance?”
“Sorry, I can’t help you,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled wryly. “I got this one by chance. It’s all going to depend on your luck.”
With that, Bai Xiaosheng took out a stone around the size of a goose egg. It was pure white and radiated a warm white light. When people looked at it from afar, it looked like a small light bulb.
“This is a Holy Spirit Stone?” Fatty took it in his hands and felt the warmth from it. “Sect Master, if you have no use for it, then name your price for it.”
“I can give it to you in the future, but I need it to enter the city right now. Sorry about that.”
“Then allow me to reserve it first.”
“Alright, I’m going to get my class enhancement now. Man, seriously, rogues have weak basic attacks. I’m practically useless if I don’t learn a few more skills,” Bai Xiaosheng muttered to himself as he began to walk off.
“Uhm… There’s something I want to tell you. Are you willing to listen?”
“What is it?” Why is this fatty speaking like that?
“Although there is a Class Enhancement Hall here, they only accept class enhancements for players at Level 60 or above. Those below have to return to the various main cities to get their class enhancement missions,” Fatty said carefully and observed Bai Xiaosheng’s expression.
“What!?” Bai Xiaosheng coughed up a mouthful of blood.
