Chapter 588: Cute Little Naughty and Intercourse (2/2)
”Oh?”
Lin Yixin turned beet red as she said, ”I can learn this, but you’re not allowed to laugh, okay?”
”Sure, sure. I’m a very serious person, you know!”
”Okay.”
Swhoosh! The skill book vanished from Lin Yixin’s hands, and a new skill appeared in the stratagem window. It was of course the skill Intercourse. It stated there that both players could attack the same target to deal a combined amount of damage.
I started laughing loudly as that was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. An embarrassed Lin Yixin poked me once with the Blade of Violet Lightning and half-cried, ”I told you not to laugh, you bastard!”
”Yes, yes!” I suppressed my facial muscles like my life depended on it and said, ”Let’s try its effects, Yiyi. It’ll work as long as we attack the same target, right?”
”Yeah!”
”Okay then, let’s attack this full-health mob right in front of us!”
”Okay!”
Violet Lightning and Cyan Netherworld flashed at the same time, and the Corpse Eater we were targeting immediately screamed in pain. Two damage numbers popped above its head—
19082!
16767!
I couldn’t help but shake my head in disappointment. ”This can’t be right, this is just the normal amount of damage we do. I don’t see Intercouse working at all...”
Lin Yixin replied, ”That’s because you attacked too soon, you idiot! You were about half a second faster than me, so of course that doesn’t count as ‘at the same time’! Let’s do this again, but watch my movement this time!”
”Right!”
Lin Yixin attacked again, and so did I. To my surprise, we had both chosen to use Barrier Break—well, my version was the Universe Break—despite not having discussed this beforehand. This time, the red and cyan cone hit the Level 160 ancient Corpse Eater at almost the exact same time!
Clang!
The two skills abruptly joined together to form a purple-red color energy, and it tore through the Corpse Eater’s body like paper. As the Corpse Eater groaned in pain and collapsed to the ground, a shocking damage number floated above its head—
112838!
Lin Yixin’s mouth fell open. ”Wow, what an amazing intercourse…”
I nodded. ”Yeah, this is amazing. Not even the strongest magic knight in the world will be able to stop us if our Intercourse is successful!”
”Right!” Lin Yixin’s smile was bright and sweet. ”We should practice and improve our rapport as much as possible, Little Cheat. It’ll make killing bosses twice as easy!”
”Oh, sure…” I grinned, but an uncomfortable thought suddenly flashed across my mind. I said, ”Yiyi, I don’t want you to use this skill with anyone else besides me, okay?”
”Why?”
”For earth…”
”...”
Seemingly reading my thoughts, Lin Yixin smiled and replied, ”Fine, fine, I’ll only use this stratagem when I’m with you, okay? Hmph hmph, even if you haven’t asked, I wouldn’t have the courage to reveal this skill in front of my guildmates, okay? This name is so embarrassing, you know?”
”Yeah!”
I swung the Cyan Netherworld Sword in front of me, and the blade abruptly brightened like the sun. It was the Cyan Netherworld Divine Dragon effect triggering again and slaying all the Corrosive Worms within its range like they were nothing. Man, this feeling is just exhilarating! Also, the fact that Intercourse dropped from the Corrosive Worms meant that it was possible for other stratagem skill books to drop as well. These days stratagems such as Encourage VII or Iron Wall VII were extremely valuable, and they could be sold for a lot of money. Of course, if something like Purple Dragon dropped, then I would deal with it a different way.
Speaking of which, I had sunk a lot of valuables into that tactician, Lu Buyi. Not only had I given him the 5-star Outstanding Earth-grade Burning Fan, I also gave him the Purple Dragon stratagem. That skill book was so amazing that if I were to use it on myself, I could buff all my stats by 72%, which was only a tad weaker than Lin Yixin’s Bombshell. Still, I decided to maximize its value and give it to Lu Buyi. I was sure I hadn’t misjudged his character, and I knew he wouldn’t disappoint me. You weren’t truly living if you didn’t have a dream, and I could see that he was a man of dreams just like me.
……
I was hoping that one of these mobs would drop another Purple Dragon skill book so I could learn it myself, and the hope drove me to fighting even harder than before. Grinding was tough work, but with the Fruit Knife Goddess by my side, I could only feel pleasure.
