Chapter 165 – Real Life Reaction (2/2)

“Nothing’s hard as long as my brother’s after it,” replied Qian Xiaoqian softly, and she sipped at her coffee.

“You brother and sister are so…” The businesswoman chuckled and shook her head. “If you need anything, come find me. I really have high hopes for your brother.”

As things escalated more and more, no one ever thought so much would happen just because of a skill book.

“So annoying! So, so annoying!” Purple Bell complained to Fatty as soon as she logged on.

“What happened?” Fatty asked with genuine concern.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with my father! He actually doesn’t want me to help you, saying something like, ‘It’s not good for a girl to fight and kill all day.’ Doesn’t he know it was me who caused all this?!” Purple Bell was so upset that she violently kicked out with her feet.

“Hehe,” Fatty chuckled. “Maybe Uncle is afraid that you’ll get used to killing and turn into a little demoness. That’s why he stopped you.”

“Pffft, who’s gonna turn into a ‘little demoness’?” Purple Bell wrinkled her little nose. “It must have been the Li Family. Hmph! They’re too shameless, getting my family involved in such a trivial matter!”

“No worries. I, alone, can stop Cloud Dragon Sailing from leaving the city,” Fatty said as he rubbed her head with a smile.

Beep! Friend request alert! The rogue opened the message and was surprised to see it was ISteal&IRob who he’d killed last time in Azure Dragon City.

“Money Grubber, it was hard to find you,” ISteal&IRob said, instantly messaging after his friend request was accepted. His voice sounded calm with no other detectable emotions through the communicator.

“Not too shabby. You actually found me pretty quickly,” Fatty responded casually. With a smirk, he leaned against a tree.

“You’re not bad either, considering you can oppose an entire guild to this point all by yourself.” ISteal&IRob’s tone was clearly full of genuine praise for Fatty.

“Alright, enough chitchat. What did you find me for? Don’t tell me it’s just to praise me, because I'm certainly not worthy,” Fatty’s drawled.

ISteal&IRob seemed to chuckle on the other end. “Money Grubber, I heard that you haven’t joined any guild. Are you interested in joining our Golden Scale Guild? Our Young Master said that, as long as you join us, we’ll gather all five of the Movement Art books for you. Currently, the Metalwalk book is already in the possession of our Young Master.”

“You guys have the Metalwalk book?” Fatty abruptly stood up.

“Indeed. While the Cloud Dragon Gang isn’t small, it’s still far inferior to our Golden Scale Guild. When you offered such a high price for the Waterwalk skill book, our Young Master already knew what you wanted. Young Master thinks very highly of you, so, as long as you agree to join us, you can just sit still and wait for the hidden class enhancement,” ISteal&IRob guaranteed.

“Well, your offer is very tempting. Let me think it over before I get back to you,” said Fatty.

“Very well. We’ll wait for you any time.”

Closing the communicator, Fatty asked Purple Bell, “Bell, do you know of the Golden Scale Guild?”

“Golden Scale Guild? How are they involved?” Purple Bell furrowed her brows. “Their backer is a great clan in Shanghai, much more powerful than mine or the Li Family. If they want to put their nose in this, things will get a whole lot more complicated.”

“Doesn’t matter how big they are in real life. The force behind the Cloud Dragon Gang is big, but the two of us can still scare them from leaving the city, no?” Fatty beamed. “He really talked big. I’ll see if he has the ability to match.”

“Big Brother Fatty, don’t be impulsive,” Purple Bell advised. “If anything, you’ve already gathered four elements. I’ll ask my connections to get you the Metalwalk.”

“Bell, you shouldn’t get involved in this matter.” Fatty grinned as he looked at her. “Uncle’s right; it’s not becoming for a lady to brawl and slaughter all day.”

Looking at Purple Bell, Fatty recalled the first time they met. He was already level 10 then and qualified for the class enhancement while Purple Bell had only reached level 2. She was stuck in a tree and didn’t dare get down because a bunch of rats guarding the ground below.

In a blink of an eye, the game had been launched several months. Fatty was currently at his third class enhancement, and Purple Bell was even more formidable. Not only was she placed first in the rankings, but she had even gotten a hidden class enhancement and trained out a great combat ability. Just few days ago, she even slayed SkeletonWarrior, the fourth ranked on the rogue leaderboards.

But, a young miss is still a young miss in the end. Purple Bell’s main purpose for entering the game had been sightseeing. She leveled up only to be able to visit more places. Fatty felt bad he’d roped her into his vengeful carnage.

“StealRob, tell your Young Master to prepare the Metalwalk skill book; I’m coming for it.” Having opened his communicator, Fatty smiled at Purple Bell and left ISteal&IRob this declaration.
