Chapter 109: Moonshade Necklace (1/2)
The third and last item we had gotten from the Thunder General was a dazzling necklace with a crystalline, purple crescent for a pendant. It looked extremely beautiful, and both Lin Yixin and I were certain that its extraordinary design would be matched with similarly amazing properties!
Moonshade Necklace (Gold-grade)
Strength: +28
Stamina: +25
Passive: Increases user’s holy attacks by 9%
Level Requirement: 60
……
“Fuck!”
I couldn’t stop myself from swearing. This Gold-grade necklace is insane! It boosts the user’s holy attacks by a whopping 9%!
Moreover, the Fruit Knife Goddess right next to me deals exactly that type of damage! All she needed to do was inject her weapon with the Holy Energy skill!
It looked like chaos was about to descend on Floating Ice City. Oh no. If Lin Yixin got this necklace, how could noobs of Floating Ice City possibly escape her wrath?
Lin Yixin stared at the Moonshade Necklace for a long time before looking down at her own necklace. It was a simple and ordinary Iron-grade necklace. I was watching her as well, or more specifically the shapely mounds that were covered by her chest armor and the pale ravine that could suck a person’s soul right out of their body.
“What are your plans for this necklace, Lu Chen?” Lin Yixin asked.
I touched my own neck before smiling. “The poor need it more than the rich, don’t you agree? You at least have a necklace to wear, but look at me. My slot is still empty even though I’m over Level 50.”
“Uuuu…”
Lin Yixin clearly wasn’t planning to give up on the necklace though, so she puffed up her chest and said, “Fine, you win. I’ll foot the bill for our supper later…”
I smiled. She could treat me to a whole month of meals at Happy House and it still wouldn’t be enough to make up for the true value of this Moonshade Necklace. But Lin Yixin did die twice to the last boss, and the only reason she stayed behind was to help me obtain a Hero’s Token. All things considered, she had done right by me the best she could.
So, I held up the Moonshade Necklace to Lin Yixin and said, “Yiyi, you can have the necklace. However, the Dark Moon Ring, Hero’s Token, and the magic stones are all mine!”
“Ah?!”
Lin Yixin gaped at me for a moment before smiling. “You bastard, this is daylight robbery. Your offer is utterly unreasonable, there’s absolutely no reason I should accept this…”
“Heh…” I chuckled knowingly and waited.
Cheeks rosy, Lin Yixin finally gave up and said, “I guess I have no choice but to accept this unfair offer. Come on, give me my Moonshade Necklace already…”
And just like that, the trade was complete!
I sneaked a glance at her assets before packing the equipment and singing in a soft voice, “Moon boat, oh moon boat, you fetched a girl into my cradle…”
Lin Yixin’s face flushed red immediately as she turned to face me. She asked murderously, “What the hell are you singing?”
I spread my arms and answered innocently, “What are you talking about? It’s a children’s song. It looks like you’re more corrupted than you look…”
“Grr…”
Lin Yixin stomped her foot furiously but couldn’t do anything to me. My beloved Fruit Knife Goddess had turned as red as an apple by this point, and I was so happy at my successful attempt at teasing her that I almost fainted on the spot.
“Alright, it’s time we log out and get ready for supper. I’ll see you at the first floor of Happy House in half an hour!” I changed the topic in time. Had I continued teasing Lin Yixin, there was a high chance she would go berserk and challenge me to a battle to the death.
“Mn.” Lin Yixin nodded and logged out at an inn.
I didn’t log out yet. First, I brought up the friend list and sent Beiming Xue a message: “Lil Beiming, you busy?”
“No, I’m repairing my equipment. What’s the matter, boss?”
“Come meet me at the warehouse, will you?”
“Okay…”
Half a minute later, the beautiful dark archer walked up to me with a smile and asked, “So? What is it? It’s almost midnight…”
I took out the Dark Moon Ring from my bag and tossed it to her, smiling. “I got an item you can use. Here, it’s yours…”
“Ah?!”
Beiming Xue was stunned when she saw the ring. As her expression changed from surprise to joy, she lost her usual composure and dove into my arms suddenly, laughing. “Boss, I love you!”
Embarrassed, I pushed her away gently before giving her a smile. “I love you all too. Now go work your heart out and keep up the grind…”
“...”
Before she left, I passed the Stonecrush Spear to Beiming Xue so she could give it to Gui Guzi. After that was done, I checked Murong Mingyue’s ID in the friend list and noticed that she hadn’t logged out yet. It was surprising considering how late it was. I sent her a message that read: “Sis, come meet me alone!”
“Where are you?”
“I’m at the warehouse right now!”
“Okay!”
A few minutes later, Murong Mingyue showed up at the distance. She was as attractive and curvaceous as ever.
“What’s the matter, Lu Chen?”
I turned away and took out the Hero’s Token. Then, I said, “Give me your hand!”
“Okay?”
Murong Mingyue looked a bit confused, but she extended her hand to me as I asked. Making sure to cover up the Hero’s Token completely with my hand, I passed the item to her and whispered, “Stay calm, okay? Tell boss to create our guild as soon as she can!”
“Ah?!”
Murong Mingyue trembled when she finally saw what I put in her palm. Her eyes immediately shone with pleasant surprise. “Lu Chen, you… you got a Hero’s Token?”
“Mn!” I nodded with a smile. “Don’t tell boss that I’m the one who gave it to you, obviously. Just say that a noob accidentally fumbled the price tag while you were at the auction house and you bought it immediately.”
“Got it,” Murong Mingyue replied excitedly. “Eve is in India and should have just gone to sleep. I’ll call her right now and get this done! Hehe, we can finally establish our guild!”
“Yeah. Do your best, I’m logging out now. I haven’t eaten supper yet!”
