Chapter 10: Asking to Rentshare (2/2)
Du Thirteen was shocked. ”How is that possible? But three-second delay! Even if you managed to keep playing when other people would have given up, how could you level up so quickly?”
I took a deep breath and said, ”Thirteen, I have to tell you something.”
”Hm, what is it?”
”My reaction has shortened to about seven tenths of a second. I tested it this morning.”
Du Thirteen was dazed. Suddenly, he erupted in laughter. He was extremely excited, his face flushed. He suddenly hugged me tightly and shouted, ”My brother has returned, haha, my brother Falling Dust has returned!”
I laughed out loud as well. ”Okay, do not be so excited.”
”How can I not be excited?” Du Thirteen laughed. ”My brother is about to return. Haha, the great genius is about to enter the stage. The dancer on the edge of death is about to come to the world! Hm, damn that Candlelight Shadow. So arrogant. The two of us together will overturn his Martial God legend. Martial God my ass!”
I pressed on his shoulder and also pressed down his enthusiasm. I smiled slightly and said, ”No need. Candlelight Shadow is not in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area so he will not appear around Floating Ice City. I still have a 0.7-second delay. With such a long reaction time, I can’t win against Candlelight Shadow. Let's lay low for a while. I didn’t use my previous ID, so Candlelight Shadow can’t find me. When the time is right, I will make him pay for everything he owes me with interest!”
”Good, I will always support you!” Du Thirteen patted my shoulder and laughed out loud. ”Lu Chen, your delay had shrunk to below one second. To celebrate, how about we go drinking at noon?”
”No, I’m going to level in the afternoon. Those with high levels have great advantage in the early stages. Once we are ahead, we can celebrate. In any case, you are living with me now. I can drink with you anytime!”
”Haha, alright. I'll go buy some food at noon, and we will grind for a week without going out!”
”Okay!”
”Right, I’m aiming for Level 10 this afternoon. Go level by yourself. When I leave the starting village, I’ll go to Floating Ice City to find you. What’s your ID?”
”Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand! What about you?”
”Amazing Expert!”
”...”
”Damn you, Lu Chen! Don’t look at me like this...”
In reality, Thirteen was a complete newbie, and yet he dared to use a name like this. If I had known, I would have changed my ID to ”Beautiful Youth.” ……
At around 2 pm, the pair of us went to the market, buying a lot of instant noodles and frozen dumplings. Then we ate at a Hunan restaurant. When we returned home, we went online separately. I was still in my room while Thirteen was going to live on the sofa in the living room. This boy's family was actually very good, but he’s had enough of ‘good’ and decided to live in this dog house with me.
3:30 pm, time to go online!
Swoosh!
My vision went black. I knew this was my ”home”—a grave.
Yes. Before a player logged off, they had to find a safe place. Otherwise, their safety could not be guaranteed. Usually, people would buy simple tents from the system NPCs. Ten copper for one that could be used for a long time. But Night Creatures did not have tents. Everyone burrowed into graves to sleep.
My grave was near Frost Mound, its gravestone slightly tilted to the side.
Rustle...
Climbing out of the grave, I looked interestedly at the words engraved on the stone. Grave of Viscount Lot. Damn, no wonder I had such a comfortable sleep. So this was a noble's grave!
However, the characters were too disgusting!
Therefore, I pulled out the green blade to erase the engraving and wrote, ”One bedroom, asking to rentshare, details in person.”
