Chapter 165 – Real Life Reaction (1/2)

In the next three days, Cloud Dragon Sailing, guild master of the Cloud Dragon Gang in Black Tortoise City, was repeatedly assassinated by Money Grubber and Purple Bell. He died five more times, and, in the end, he lost a total of seven levels. By association, Cloud Dragon Rumblesea and Cloud Dragon Windwielder, the two vice masters, each lost five to six levels. In the end, guild’s top brass no longer dared to step out of Black Tortoise City.

Cloud Dragon Sailing, again, offered a high price for Fatty’s life to several experts in the rankings. In the meantime, another wave of players had gone crazy from the increase in rewards and searched everywhere for Fatty and Purple Bell to no avail. The duo were in the wind. Twice, they had killed Cloud Dragon Sailing when he was under the protection of several hundred people, and even then, they had escaped with ease.

“Lil’ Sis, maybe you shouldn’t get involved in the matter between Money Grubber and Cloud Dragon Sailing?” suggested Wind God’s World to Purple Bell. The two sat in a big mansion somewhere in Shanghai, eating dinner.

“How could I not? We started this,” Purple Bell replied, glaring at her companion until all of his hair stood on end.

“Something’s happened again? I heard our little Bell was very mighty in the game, isn’t that right?” Across the table, an amiable-looking grandma gazed dotingly at Purple Bell.

“Hmph! It’s Big Brother who caused trouble.” Purple Bell put down her chopsticks and described the matter in detail.

A middle-aged man around forty sitting next to Purple Bell stated, “That Cloud Dragon Sailing is a wastrel for going back on his word. Such behavior simply violates standard human morality.”

“Dad, Cloud Dragon Sailing is Uncle Li’s son, Li Ting,” Wind God’s World muttered.

“Li Ting? Old Li’s son?” The middle-aged man placed his chopsticks down, and his brows furrowed. “We’re cooperating with the Li family to open up the Beijing market. How can I feel reassured working with such a person? How would I dare to?”

“You’ve made a big mistake,” a middle-aged man chided the young man next to him in another luxurious mansion in the same city. They, too, sat at a dinner table.

The young man hung his head. “Yes, Father.”

“It’s just a hidden class. What could one skill book do? Are you even certain you can gather the other four? For something so risky, you not only destroyed your image and got yourself killed several times, but also set us back greatly in our plan to establish a presence in the game. Worst of all, we’ll be the target of ridicule for others! Tell me, even if you succeed in getting the enhancement now, can this gain offset what you’ve lost from all of this?”

“I’m so sorry, Father.” The young man’s dared not lift his head.

“It’s useless to apologize to me. This time, you must think of a solution yourself. Still, the Feng Family’s little girl is too senseless,” the middle-aged man was unquestionably displeased despite showing no indication of his anger at all.

“Indeed. After all, we’re still business partners, yet she helps an outsider to deal with our Ting’er,” the lady next to the middle-aged man agreed.

“I’ll put a stop to her. Let’s eat,” declared the middle-aged man. Everyone at the table heaved a sigh of relief and quickly picked up their chopsticks.

“Fatty, hasn’t this fuss gotten out of hand?” Liu Lan’s worried voice rang out from the phone.

“What’s there to be afraid?” Fatty lay on the sofa with the remote in his hand. He switched channels continuously until he realized there was nothing to watch. Then, he turned off the TV and threw the remote aside.

“Cloud Dragon Sailing’s family is no small matter remotely. I’m afraid he’ll come after you in real life if he can’t get his revenge in-game.” Hearing Fatty’s nonchalance, Liu Lan intensely massaged the point between her eyebrows.

“It’s no big deal. While this guy’s morality leaves much to be desired, the adults in his family must be a lot more sensible. They wouldn’t let him stir up trouble.” Fatty didn’t take her warning to heart.

“Really? Don’t let down your guard, Fatty. I know much better than you about such things,” Liu Lan tried to admonish Fatty.

Fatty lazily rolled over. “Alright, don’t worry about it. How are you guys lately? Any chance with the Guild Establishment Token?”

“Difficulties,” Liu Lan grunted, needing only a word to comment. In fact, except for the Wind God Guild, who had already succeeded in establishing themselves, everyone else had their hands absolutely tied with this token. The system had hidden it too well. Clearly, the game wanted players to continuously challenge high-ranked bosses.

“Young Master, according to our findings, the guy is called Money Grubber; he’s a player of Black Tortoise City. He’s currently tangling with the Cloud Dragon Gang over the Metalwalk skill book.” In an even more luxurious estate in Shanghai, a middle-aged man stood respectfully in front of a young man with a stack of files in his hands.

“Cloud Dragon Gang? The Li Family?” The young man read the files and smiled coldly. “Making such a big fuss over a skill book, the Li Family behaves more and more childishly as they age. Go buy the skill book from the Li Family. Also, tell that Money Grubber that I’ll let bygones be bygones if he offers me the Waterwalk book with his own two hands. Or else… Hmph!”

“Yes, Young Master.” The middle-aged man set off at once to execute the order.

“Xiaoqian, I really have no words for your brother. He’s actually caused such a ruckus over a skill book!” In a coffee shop outside a certain school, a charming but not overtly seductive, nearly thirty-year-old woman dressed in office attire slouched in a chair opposite of Qian Xiaoqian.

“There was an agreement, but Cloud Dragon Sailing didn’t fulfill his part. So, my brother had no other choice.” Qian Xiaoqian gently swirled her coffee with her teaspoon, creating a small tornado.

“Too hot-headed.” The businesswoman creased her brows. “From what I know, ever since your brother bought the Waterwalk book for a high price at Azure Dragon City, every player in the CN region has gone crazy for the other four books. Now that everyone is paying attention to this hidden class, it’s too hard for your brother to gather all the books.”
