Chapter 170: Mission Against Traitors (1/2)
”I... I wanted... I wanted...”
Lin Yixin stammered for a while but could not finish her sentence.
My heart rippled and I asked, ”You missed me?”
Lin Yixin was quick in her words this time. ”Yes, I wanted to beat you up!”
”...”
The additional words were enough to cause me grief.
……
Seeing me remain silent, Lin Yixin laughed and said, ”I know that Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls have a base of operations. You, Gui Guzi, Beiming Xue and the others must be there!”
”Oh, so you do know...” I felt slightly guilty. ”Then why were you searching for me?”
”No, I just wanted to confirm if you were alive or not. How about it, does this miss have enough concern for you?” Lin Yixin said with a chuckle.
I was speechless. ”It is so late, but you’re not sleeping yet?”
”No, grinding!”
”Dorms shut down routers for the night. Are you using an internet cafe connection?”
Lin Yixin was speechless. ”Internet cafe? I’m not you, the legendary 'overnight cafe male'. Why would I go to an internet cafe? The school recently, um, was unanimously asked to keep the internet connection alive.”
”Oh, that's good.”
”Alright. I’m going to level up, you continue whatever it is you’re doing. Speaking of which, what are you doing?”
”Spawn camping!”
”OMG, shame on you. Spawn camping is so detestable!”
”Look who’s talking. You spawn camped Gui Guzi's corpse for an entire night.”
”That was my persistence in fighting the Dark faction...”
”And I’m just vile, bullying the weak and ill...”
”Heehee, you do have some brains~”
”...”
……
I closed the chat. Lin Yixin went back to grinding. I’m guessing that her level would soon return to the top of Floating Ice City. I didn’t have a skill as broken for consistent grinding as her Killer Wind Swordplay. I was at a bit of a disadvantage. I’d still do my best to maintain my position in the Top 3 though. As the de facto leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, I had to maintain my level advantage. As the guild’s banner, I had to represent.
After waiting for about half an hour, one of the players in front of me revived. It was an archer from the Ego workshop!
Players would revive with just half HP, so the moment he tried to get up, Beiming Xue shot him with a lightning-quick arrow!
Bang!
The archer flew back like a kite with a broken string. He immediately lost all HP, killed in an instant!
I sprinted with my sword. I had a feeling that they would collectively revive!
As expected, in the next moment, about seven people revived together. They must have counted down together. Yet the moment of revival, Spring Mud shouted, ”Shit, dodge!”
Rustle...
Whoosh!
The Ghost Ice Soul’s light turned into six sword energies that fell into the crowd. All the recently revived players were instantly killed, including Spring Mud!
With just half HP, they couldn’t survive a single Thousand Mirage Slash. I had to admit, they were really unlucky to cross me of all people.
Beiming Xue stood in the distance, her Evil Spirit Volley arriving with a howl. The powerful explosion caused the remaining people to fall to the ground. in an instant, the eleven players were once again in their soul state!
Xu Yang was speechless. He said, ”Fuck, you two are too strong, can you at least give me a chance to get a hit in?”
I smiled. ”Just be faster next time!”
”...”
We continued to spawn camp. Soon, Xu Yang said, ”A brother in the city saw Spring Mud and the others reviving! Tsk tsk, Spring Mud dropped to Level 55. He was actually willing to revive like that!”
I sheathed my sword and smiled. ”Ok, the mission against the traitors is done. We can rest!”
”Yes!”
We entered the city and went offline!
……
I slept deeply and only woke up around noon.
Knock knock knock...
Murong Mingyue knocked on the door and shouted, ”Lu Chen, are you addicted to sleep or something? The sun’s high in the sky, get up!”
I hurriedly changed my clothes, washed up and opened the door. Murong Mingyue was sitting on a sofa nearby. She immediately stood up and said, ”Let's go, we’re going downstairs for coffee and food~”
