Chapter 1: Number T-105

It was a calm and quiet night, or at least it should have been. The nights in the city were busier
than the days. A good place to see this was at the citys night market. As night fell, the rainbow
lights flickered on, the hawking of various street vendors began to sound out, the smell of
various snacks filled the air, and there was too much merchandise for the eyes to take in.

Among the hustle and bustle of the night market; in a simple, little, outdoor eatery selling stir-
fry; there was a table of customers with a completely different atmosphere compared to the
surroundings. They were three men with grave expressions looking somewhat indisposed.
However, as far as the bosses of the little eatery, the old Wang couple, was concerned; these
three were frequent customers.

The one among these three men who could cause others to raise an eyebrow was named Ye
Cang. It was a fairly ordinary name, Ye meaning leaf and Cang meaning pale, but his appearance
was not ordinary. He had white hair, white eyebrows, as well as fluttering white eyelashes. Even
his pupils were a weird pink with a hint of red. His expression faintly showed some grief. He had
a delicate face, a scrawny build, and fair-white but not sickly pale skin. At this moment, with one
hand on his forehead, he gave a deep sight: Considering our credits at the city college, our
failed courses, as well as the results of the group combat test. Mm~. I think we should start
properly considering our livelihood until the next test.

Sitting on Ye Cangs left was a big man in a tanktop with a crewcut named Zhang ZhengXiong.
He had sculpted face with stalwart and manly features, an abnormally well built body, and tiger
like eyes. It made people think he was a musclehead. Even though he was sitting, no one would
doubt that he was at least 185cm tall. At this point, he nodded his head, casually looked at Ye
Cang and said: Bro, whats your plan?

The one sitting on the right of Ye Cang was a very ordinary looking youth named Lin Le. He had
a sort of eldest child from next door impression. He had neat and tidy short hair except for one
bundle that stuck up and would occasionally sway back and forth (ahoge). He was short, around
160cm if you were being generous. His gaze made him look smart but it had a little dullness to it
too. Hearing what Ye Cang said, he indifferently shrugged and lightly nodded his head to signal
them to continue.

Ye Cang slowly put both hands on the table, his fingers interweaved. He took a deep breath,
played with his clean white eyebrows and said seriously: Considering our classes, we have to
repeat so many that were screwed. Weve also been disqualified from, our only hope, the group
combat test. However! I still have a plan for our current situation. I merely regret is that recently
I pretended to be Lele and gave his rich girlfriend a call asking her to provide for us and she
refused. Therefore, it appears we have to use our Plan B: find a part-time job to support us until
the next group combat test.

Zhang ZhengXiong raised his head and felt something was wrong. He doubtfully pointed out:
Hey, bro. Wasnt our Plan B to let our younger siblings provide for us?
Brother LilXiong, what does it mean to provide for us? Lin Le who was also involved blinked
his large eyes and expressed his puzzlement.

Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong looked at each other and sighed. Ye Cang gave a Lin Le a cold
look and returned to the subject: The next group combat test is in half a year. We need to make
enough to live. So AXiong, youre responsible for pushing the fried cake cart. Lele, you set up a
stall and sell roasted yams.

The two of them slowly nodded their heads. Zhang ZhengXiong thought of a problem: Bro,
what about you?

Ill be responsible for supervising you two and to collect the money. Conveniently, I can help
both of you stand guard. Ye Cang said ruthlessly, not embarrassed about it at all.

Just at that moment, a clamor emerged in the night sky. It was the sound of the holographic
commercial again.

The three of them simultaneously raised their heads to watch the dazzling hologram in the sky.
Swords and magic interweaved, good and evil collided, countless classes and all kinds of
creatures clashed in a battle royale, creating sparks.

* - Conviction will open at 9 oclock. An unknown and mysterious new world is waiting for
you to explore! Brave warriors! What are you still waiting for!

* - Conviction was produced by a coalition of game developers. Every countrys government

came together to release a new generation, extremely lifelike, virtual game. One must be 18
years or older to enter.

A short moment later the dazzling commercial finished and it returned to being peaceful.

Wow, it looks like itd be so awesome Lin Les eyes sparkled like a childs.

Bro, what do you think about relying on that and becoming professional gamers? Zhang
ZhengXiong murmured while staring at the hologram.

Ye Cang slowly retracted his hands from the table and leaned back on his chair. He closed his
eyes, faintly frowned and pondered for not even a second. Suddenly, he nodded and said
seriously: Sure, then its agreed. Cheers! Wait, lets toast together once Nana arrives!

Lin Le happily let out a childlike smile and cried out: Long Live Brother LilWhite!

Ye Cang calmly smiled and pet Lin Les head. He raise his cup, the three of them glanced at
each other, then they all downed their drink.
I say, you three. You drank it just like that!? Heartless, didnt even wait for me. Just as the
three of them raise their head from drinking, a rough female voice arrived. Although it was
rough, it gave people a heart-warming, cheerful feeling.

The three of them simultaneously looked towards the source of the voice. She was in a black
windbreaker that was worn-out yet covered the body, a leather top with a leather skirt, long
fishnet stockings, and leather boots that were up to her knees. She had deep smokey eye makeup,
and blood red lipstick. She was like a model wearing black gothic clothes. Both her clothes and
her makeup were extremely gaudy. She carried a big guitar case as she smiled and walked
towards the three. Everyone around looked at them strangely but the three were used to it, they
didnt give much reaction. This girl was precisely the Nana that they mentioned before. Her real
name was Wu Na. She was a member of a band called Falling Sand that was quite famous at
LinHai city college.

The band was busy today? Ye Cang smiled looking at the new arrival.

Mm~, well be performing soon. Today we practiced a lot. Wu Na shrugged. She set her guitar
case aside and slowly sat down. She rapidly split open her chopsticks and hurriedly began eating
the freshly fried squid. Im starving. Oh right, how were your tests?

Failed! Failed all of them! Ye Cang raised his chin proudly and said.

Same! Zhang ZhengXiong slapped his chest and said with a smile.

Me too! Me too! Lin Le bounced excitedly like a kid.

Cough~ Cough~ Wu Nas choked and looked at the three of them, her chest heavy. She then
roared at them: Whats there to be proud of!!

Wu Na gave a helpless sigh sighed: Then what about the group combat test?

We were disqualified! Ye Cang said, as proud as before.

Wu Na rolled her eyes. She wanted to ask why, but, an announcement hologram appeared nearby
and broadcasted: This times group test, groups number T-13 and number T-36 have passed
and group number T-105: Ye Cang, Zhang ZhengXiong, Lin Le; these three people, due to
excessively vile conduct, caused 3 instructors and 15 examinees to suffer mental trauma. They
are disqualified from this test and have to retake it!!

Wu Na mouth hung open. What did these three bastards do!!? She suddenly turned her head
to look at the three.

Beautifully done! Ye Cang raised both hands to high five Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le.
 Wu Na didnt know wether to laugh or cry. She felt a surge of anger. All the bottled up
anger exploded out: You guys, what exactly did you do!? Also! This isnt something you should
be celebrating!!

Ye Cang and the guys stared blankly for a moment. They raised their heads and thought back.

I remember while we were at the third districts riverbank barbecuing, some instructor Wang or
something cursed at us, however, Brother LilXiong beat him up. Lin Le faintly raised his head
and said after thinking back with great effort.

Afterwards, we confiscated all his equipment. I recall it was Lele who said: Lets punish those
evil-doers that bully us!. Bro agreed too. We then made him strip, then tied him naked onto a
raft, then Zhang ZhengXiong added in.

Its all Leles fault! He wanted hold a festival and make a wish! Ye Cang exclaimed,
complaining and interrupting.

Eh! Thats how you guys humiliated the instructor? Wu Na mouth hung open, these three
fellows are really out of control. Her dressed up, slender eyebrows raised: Wait! What
festival!?

We prepared three candles, lit them, and wanted to put them on the raft. Unfortunately there
was no more room so we put them on the instructors body. I made so many wishes. I even
wished for world peace, wishing everyone can be forever happy Lin Les eyes were filled
with hope. He began to recall the scene and his wishes. The three of them, hand in hand, seeing
off the naked instructor Wang while making wishes into the night sky.

However, afterwards, I realized it was a good opportunity to show off my great strategic mind.
Ye Cang once again butt in and explained.

Wu Na was already dumbfounded. There was still more. How much did those three need to toy
with instructor Wang? She put her hand on her forehead: Theres more!?

After that, bro used the floating raft and the electric grenade that we confiscated and made a
trap. He put the grenade under instructor Wangs ass and as long as anyone helped him, it would
explode. It would use the moisture in the air and the surrounding river to paralyse everyone in a
large radius! In brief, we electrocuted another two stupid instructors who tried to help him. We
continued to strip them too and to confiscate their equipment, made another three raft traps, and
it just snowballed like that. We followed the river and, in total, got rid of 3 instructors and 15
examinees before we were finally called back to the command center by a broadcast. Zhang
ZhengXiong proudly said, then put on a sympathetic expression.

Its a pity that they invalidated our combat achievements. Lin Le unhappily clenched his teeth.
Haa~, nothing we can do. Heaven is jealous of our brave and talented little squad. However,
just wait half a year! Well be back! Ye Cang sighed then faintly smiled. He wrapped his arms
around the other twos shoulders to console them.

Definitely! Lin Le and Zhang ZhengXiong simultaneously nodded. They had a resolute smile.

Bro, next time lets think of a method to bomb the command center. Zhang ZhengXiong said
in a bad mood.

Exactly! Theyre too hateful, calling us to the command center to disqualify us. Lin Le said,
fanning the flames.

Hmph~, be at ease. This hatred, we will surely get revenge! Ye Cang grabbed both their
shoulders and sneered at the holographic announcement.

Wu Na facepalmed speechlessly. Mother of god, was this still a combat test? Blowing up an
electronic grenade under an instructors ass, and not only once. She couldnt help but shudder.
She who understood the three of them began to pray for the people in the next test. She gave a
deep sigh: Then what do you plan to do now?

For a period of time, well be professional gamers or something in the new game, Conviction.
See if we can make a bit of money while we wait for next years test. Oh right, Nana, you should
join us. Ye Cangs words caused Wu Na to roll her eyes. Her heart beat furiously. Just them
three and they wanted to march into the game and become pros? Did they think anyone could
become professional gamers! Did they think the virtual world was so easy!?

Her head hurt as she weakly nodded while having second thoughts. She decided to just treat it as
playing games together.

Then good! Its decided! Ye Cang happily nodded. He split his chopsticks and the four of them
merrily enjoyed their meal.

City colleges 3rd administration building.

Haha~, this group T-105; Ye Cang, Zhang ZhengXiong, Lin Le. These fellows sure are
amusing. A middle aged, scholarly man in a western suit, who just finished looking over the
combat test data, murmured.

Ye Cang

Age: 21

Stamina: C
Superpower: Not Tested

Strength: C

Technique: C

IQ: 74

Evaluation: Doesnt excel at anything. IQ fairly low.

Zhang ZhengXiong

Age: 21

Stamina: A+

Superpower: Not Tested

Strength: A+

Technique: A+

IQ: 85

Evaluation: Body is a work of nature, blessed by heaven. Hes a genius among geniuses.

Lin Le

Age: 20

Stamina: D

Superpower: Not Tested

Strength: F

Technique: F

IQ: 61

Evaluation: By far the lowest of the low. No talent.

A normal persons IQ is 90. These three fellows are all below average. Especially Lin Le, he
was clearly admitted through a backdoor. Oh wait, he was recommended by Song Xin? Thats
interesting. And that Zhang ZhengXiong is a martial genius. Without systematic training or
family inheritances, yet hes strong enough to give an instructor trouble. As for Ye Cang,
however you look at it The middle age mans fingers tapped on the table. He slowly turned
his head to look at the female in tight commander clothes, a professional ponytail, and an elegant
oval face that looked exceptionally cold. Not one hair was out of place. She said in a somewhat
condescending tone: This group number T-105, all their power comes from Zhang ZhengXiong.
As for Lin Le and Ye Cang, all theyre good for is coming up with these rotten ideas. Its fine to
ignore them.

Is that so The middle aged man smiled and stroked his chin: So be it. Lets first observe
Zhang ZhengXiong then. Look into his background. The Five Schools Competition is coming
up. We have Qin ShaoTian, Yang Huo, Sun Xue and the others. However, we still need more
outstanding talents.

I know. The woman with a ponytail gave a serious nod and turned to leave.

The man thought of something funny and asked: Right, how are instructor Wang and the
others?

The electric grenade have traumatized them. They are emotionally unstable. Seven of the
examinees chose to transfer full time to the liberal arts department. The woman didnt turn
around and directly left. She thought back to when she brought people to rescue them. The
spectacular scene of a large number of naked people drifting on rafts. Many kinds of wails,
crying out for their parents to take them home. Afterwards at the hospital, the trembling students
and raging instructor Wang. Hah~, those three trouble makers.

The man took the hologram of Ye Cang, faintly smiled and murmured: No outstanding
qualities? Yet your scores are way too ordinary.
Chapter 2: Entering Conviction
On the east side of the city college, in an apartment building on YueRong Street.

Bro, about the classes in the game, what should we choose? Theres too little information about
Conviction. There was no beta and even no class introductions. There is more or less only the
introduction to the game. Theres not even something like you can leave the beginner village at
level 10 or anything. Zhang ZhengXiong frowned.

Lets wait till were in the game. Try to choose a useful class. Everyone turn on your virtual
connections. Ye Cang put on his connector.

Lin Le didnt say anything. He was full of excitement and expectations and he couldnt stop
nodding.

The three of them waited for the countdown.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!

Congratulations! For being one of the first 100,000 players into the game, you receive a novice
gift box. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience. Ye Cang received the system message and
became a bit pleased.

Bro, I got a novice gift box! A message from Zhang ZhengXiong was transmitted.

Me too! Brother LilWhite!! Leles excited voice was also transmitted.

Tsk~, so this thing is of so little value Ye Cang thought to himself.

After the announcement, the display changed into a character creation interface. In the race
selection there was: Human, Elf, Beastkin, Devils, Spirits, etc. All kinds of races.

Ye Cang didnt want to waste too much time. He thought that by the time Lele finished
choosing, it would be breakfast time, so he quickly said: Everyone pick human, dont waste
time!

Understood bro Zhang ZhengXiong replied.

Aww~ Leles unwilling voice transmitted.

While the three were picking their race.

Lin Le and Zhang ZhengXiong both picked human.

Eh Ye Cang awkwardly sounded out. It seems he wasnt paying attention and accidentally
selected a random race.
Half-Elf: Offspring of a Human and an Elf. A relatively rare sub-race. Looks no different than a
human and lives among humans.

Ye Cang played with his eyebrows looking at himself as a half-elf in the hologram. His height
was pretty much the same, but his hair was blonde. After some thought, he made his hair and
eyebrows white. Since they live among humans, they should have the same starting area as
humans. Quickly pick your class and appearance! We should strive to be the first team to kill or
be killed by a BOSS! Then well rapidly rise in fame!

Mm! I understand, bro / brother LilWhite! Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le nodded.

Ye Cang rapidly looked through the humans available classes: Fighter, Monk, Knight, Hunter,
Mage, Summoner, Priest, Paladin, Rogue. He opened the stats charts. Fighters leaned towards
strength, they were a strong frontline class. He looked at the knights chart, it looked like a
pentagon. Tanking, healing, ranged and melee damage dealer, support, pvp; It could do it all!
Wasnt this too broken? Good! The knight it is! I chose knight!

Bro, I chose priest! Zhang ZhengXiong decided too.

What about Lele? Ye Cang nodded.

Im still taking my time choosing! Lin Le replied sounding indecisive.

Choose your sister! Hurry up! If you cant decide then pick random! Ye Cang urged.

Oh? Then Ill random The system gave me a hidden class, Arms Dealer? What sort of class is
that? Lin Le said confused. Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong both felt the ground give out
under them. F**k, that could happen!? Ye Cang then remembered to hide his own race. While he
was going to do that, he saw his attribute allocation. Every attribute was at the base 5 points with
15 points free to allocate.

Let me see Knights are recommended leaders and should raise Strength, Dexterity,
Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom Ye Cang saw the recommendations and immediately
became speechless. He flew into a rage! He felt like he was cheated. Ill raise your uncle! How
is this any f**king different than telling me nothing! Random!

Zhang ZhengXiong heard Ye Cang and stayed silent. He saw that his own class
recommended Wisdom. After thinking a bit, he put 5 points into Strength and 10 points into
Constitution. A healthy body is a healthy mind.

Lin Le looked at his own, Arms Dealer classs, recommended attributes. They were Strength and
Constitution. Brother LilWhite. Brother LilXiong. My recommended stats are Strength and
Constitution. How should I assign my points!?

Random! Ye Cang said, still feeling pissed.

 A healthy body is a healthy mind! Zhang ZhengXiong replied.

Lin Le didnt understand, he shrugged his shoulders and put 10 points in Strength and 5 points in
Constitution.

You should all be done now right? Hurry and enter a name! Lets start the game!! Ye Cang put
in Pale and saw the background turned into a big mountain covered in snow. A girl appeared in
his mind. She was too beautiful for words, with a clear and bright smile.

ACang. I say Teacher Bie told me that you and my little brother are causing trouble.
Really!

ACang. After a few years, when were married, LilXiong will be your best man, lets help him
find a pretty bridesmaid.

His mind was painting pink pictures. Ye Cang slowly returned from his recollection and saw he
had put in the name PaleSnow.

Would you like to enter the game?

Yes.

You are player number T-15111, assigned to Really New Village.

Ye Cangs screen went black for a moment then he found himself in the middle of a village. It
immediately became noisy. A sea of people were bustling around in excitement. He looked at the
set of villager clothes he was wearing. It was useless with its 0 defence. In his backpack was a
wooden sword and a novice gift box.

Shoddy Wooden Sword (Poor)

Attack 1 - 1

PS: Be careful! This sword breaks easily.

Seeing the weapon in his hand, Ye Cang wanted to snap it in half with his knee on the spot.
He sighed and turn on his virtual chat: I was assigned to Really New Village, you guys?

Really New Village. Zhang ZhengXiong reported.

Me too! Lin Le said happily.

Good, lets first get together. Im at xxx,yyyy. Ye Cang said. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le
hurriedly arrived at Ye Cangs coordinates: outside of a farmhouse.

Ye Cang, Ive arrived. Im in Maple Forest Village, you guys? Wu Nas call arrived.
Were at Really New Village. Ye Cang regretfully said.

Ok, then Ill play by myself first. Wu Na Laughed.

Ye Cang nodded and ended the call. Nana is in Maple Forest Village. Ok, lets first open our
reward boxes then go level up.
Chapter 3: Green Slimes
The three people each took out their gift boxes. A square wooden box appeared in each of their
hands. They heard a sound not far away.

Dammit, what a shitty gift box! A normal rock? F**k!

I got a half empty red potion. It can heal 5 points of health.

Jackpot! I got a white dagger! 2 - 3 damage!!

Get him! Dont run! I your father could have killed three chickens already!!

Cough~ Cough~, whose first? Ye Cang looked around at the other two: Lele, you first.

Mm! Lin Le nodded and opened his wooden box. A 130cm axe appeared in his bag. He took it
out and the three of them looked at the stats.

Fine Woodcutters Axe (Fine)

Category: Two-Handed Axe

Requirements: 12 Strength

Damage: 6 - 10

Strength + 1

Brother LilWhite!! I did it! Lin Le happily raised the axe over his head and yelled.

Slap~! Ye Cang raised his eyebrows, his palm hitting the back of Lin Les head.

Zhang ZhengXiong immediately covered Lin Les mouth: Quiet. Dont reveal your wealth.
Keep a low profile.

Lin Le suddenly realised and fiercely nodded his head. He looked left and right like a frightened
squirrel and carefully put away his axe.

My turn. Zhang ZhengXiong let go of Lin Le. He opened his gift box and a book appeared in
his hand.

The Gluttonous King, Dodolas Cooking for Dummies: Learn the cooking, harvesting, and
identifying skills. Requirements: Intelligence 10.
PS: These are a part of the notes left behind by the famous cook, Dodola.

Lele, how much intelligence do you have?

Brother LilXiong?

looks like only I can learn it. Ye Cang sighed and used the book.

Congratulation, youve obtained a profession. Unique cooking. Identify food items. Harvest
food items.

Ye Cang sighed. At least it was better than nothing. Culinary arts Hah In the end, it all
comes down to his box. My turn.

Under the curious eyes of the two, Ye Cang rubbed his hands together. He lifted his right hand
and said: Watch my divine hand at work! Divine tool! Appear!

From the wooden box, a simple, twisted, withered branch emerged.

Feels mysterious. Lin Le said, full of curiosity.

Mm. Zhang ZhengXiong slowly nodded his head and looked at the branch in Ye Cangs hand.

Ye Cang unhurriedly raised it up and the three of them looked at the stats together.

An Ordinary Dried Up Stick

PS: This is only an ordinary dried up stick.

Snap~

Ye Cang snapped the stick in two. Veins could be seen throbbing on his forehead. He gnashed
his teeth. Damn system.

Bro, theres a villager there that looks like he has a quest. The two looked over, attracted by
Zhang ZhengXiongs voice. A middle aged farmer called North was sitting on a pile of fodder,
his face full of worry. Sure enough, it was the perfect example of a quest giver.

Uncle, whats wrong? You look worried. The three of them jogged over.
Recently, without a sound, my farm became infested with slimes. Theyre giving me a
headache; ruining my pasture and injuring my chickens. Can you young men help me? North
sighed, holding his rake.

The three of them all nodded their heads: Uncle, leave it to us.

Your party has received the quest The Cause of Norths Headache. Quest: Kill 100 green
slimes. Reward: unknown.

Ok then, Ill trouble you. North got up and left carrying his rake. Ill be at the tavern drinking
with Old Jack.

Bro, this should be a quest chain. Zhang ZhengXiong said looking at Norths back.

Mm, lets go look at the farm. Ye Cang touched his eyebrows and mumbled. His gaze landed
on a simple general store. Lets go look in there first. Everyone should have started with 10
copper. Give it all to me, lets see what we can buy.

The three of them pooled their money, and quickly entered the general store. The store was
disorderly, filled with second-hand tools. Behind the counter was a wrinkly old woman named
Rica. Welcome~.

Ye Cang looked at the goods. Most of them were too expensive for the three of them. Especially
the second-hand weapons, the cheapest was 50 copper. Since he could harvest his own
ingredients, he bought a cheap iron pot for 15 copper, a low quality flint worth 5 copper that
could be used 5 times and three portions of salt for 3 copper.

Lets go. While most of the people havent come to kill slimes, lets quickly finish this quest.
Ye Cang brought the two people to Norths farm. They saw the half meter large, green,
gelatinous creature with big watery eyes. So cute~

A couple players walked out of Norths farm and saw Ye Cang and the others. They looked at
them with a peculiar expression and sighed. Another three dumb bastards came to kill the
slimes. With these weapons and this health regeneration mechanic, its too much of a pain in the
ass. Lets go look at the other farms and fight other wildlife. This area is just a waste of time.

Bro, why dont you attack? Zhang ZhengXiong looked at Ye Cang who was firmly holding his
sword looking at the slimes.

Look at their puppy dog eyes. I I Ye Cang looked at the slime that was just one step away
and sighed.

Shoo~ A green liquid squirted onto Ye Cangs face.

My eyes! My eyes!! Ye Cang rolled around on the ground. You two still arent attacking it!?
F**k! It dares to attack my face!!
 Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le were speechless.

Lin Le took a step, chopped with his axe. Over 20 damage was dealt. The slime froze for a
moment then fell over stunned.

Zhang ZhengXiong took the chance while the slime was down and chopped at it. 7 damage was
dealt, finishing it off. Ye Cang crawled up, his white face was dyed green. This one attack hit
me for 15 damage over time. The greater half of my health.

They seem to only have about 30 health. Zhang ZhengXiong looked at the farm covered in
slimes and couldnt help wrinkling his brows. Killing 100 would be difficult and time
consuming.

Brother LilWhite, your face Lin Le pointed at Ye Cangs face wanting to laugh.

Slap~!

A vein throbbed on Ye Cangs forehead, he slapped the back of Lin Les head and roared: No
laughing!!

Oh Lin Le zipped his mouth shut.

Lele is responsible for attacking, LilXiong will coordinate with and support him. These things
weakness should be their eyes. Ye Cang wiped his face, but couldnt wipe it clean. He looked at
a nearby slime, eyes filled with fury.
Chapter 4: Green Slime and Mushroom Stew
The three of them looked at the green slimes ooze like corpse. Zhang ZhengXiong looked under
it. Theres only 1 copper.

Ye Cang used his harvest skill on the body.

You received Green Slime Gel, Green Slime Acid, Green Slimes Eye.

Green Slime Gel: Green gel, harmless, edible.

Green Slime Acid: Green slimes corrosive acid, poisonous.

Green Slimes Eye: A big eye, harmless, edible.

Who the f**k would eat this!? Ye Cang looked at the materials description speechlessly.

Relying on Lin Les OP axe, the three of them trampled the green slimes. In two hours, they
killed 30 of them, successfully leveling up to level 2. Ye Cang and Lin Le both put their one
attribute point into Strength, while Zhang ZhengXiong continued to add to his Constitution.

Bro, we cant keep going like this. The main problem is our health recovers too slowly. We
only have about 10 health right now. If we get hit by the acid again, were dead. Every minute
we heal 2 health. If we want to heal to full, thats about 20 minutes. Zhang ZhengXiong
frowned.

Ye Cang nodded. It would be such a pity to give up the quest now, but the efficiency here was
too low. He looked in his bag and found a pile of gross liquids and eyes. He clenched his teeth:
Lele go over there and get some hay, AXiong go find some wood!

Why? Lin Le said blankly.

Were going to eat! Hurry up! Ye Cang said in a bad moody. The other two hurried to fetch
hay and wood.

Ye Cang got some rocks from nearby and discovered some wild straw mushrooms. He took the
rocks and made a little stove.

After the three were done with their tasks, they used the flint to start a fire, and placed the pot on
it. He held back his nausea as he took some green slime gel, slime eyes and wild straw
mushrooms and threw them into the pot. He added some water and salt and started boiling it. A
terrible smell wafted over. It made the smell of rotten eggs seem ok.

Congratulations, youve created a new recipe. Please name it.

Ye Cang restrained his nausea and thought of the name Green Slime and Mushroom Stew. The
new recipe was added to the empty cooking menu. He looked at his first attempt at cooking.

Green Slime and Mushroom Stew: While youre eating, gain 1 health every 5 seconds. Also gain
3 poison resistance for 1 hours. (PS: This food like thing smells extremely unpleasant. Even a
beggar wouldnt eat this).

Bro, you sure this thing is edible? Zhang ZhengXiong looked at the green soup. There were a
few large eyes floating at the top. Furthermore the stink made his scalp numb and he felt like
vomiting.

Can I not eat it? Lin Le took a step back.

Only after bitter hardships can you acquire fame and riches! Ye Cang wrapped an arm around
each of them and said earnestly.

The three of them glanced at eachother and nodded. They clenched their teeth and
simultaneously swallowed a mouthful. Due to not having a bowl, the three used their hands and
ate like cavemen. Their hearts were as sour as vinegar.

Brother LilWhite, it tastes really awful. Lin Le made a bitter face and gulped. A flavor too
unique for words, it could only be described as a disaster.

Lele, just clench your teeth and keep eating! You can do it! Ye Cang also felt like throwing up.
Zhang ZhengXiong didnt say anything but all his muscles were taut, his eyebrows were tightly
furrowed, and he was making a ferocious expression as he swallowed.

Two minutes later, the three of them were healed up. They each turned around and heaved trying
to vomit it all out.

Since were healed up, and we even have a poison resistance buff, lets take this opportunity to
put these green pimples to death and leave. Ye Cang said covering his mouth. His hands still
had some remaining stink. The other two repeatedly nodded their head. They looked at the
slimes as if it were a sea of hated enemies.

The scene changed to Wu Na in Maple Forest Village.

Wu Na chose to be a priest. She was very quickly invited to and joined a well known chinese
women only guild called Thorns and Roses and became a normal member. Though Thorns
and Roses couldnt compare to Chinas top 4 guilds Misty Rain House, which was similarly a
women only guild, but they are still a strong guild that should not be underestimated. They had
famous players like NightDanceEmpress and MissRose. They also had an elite team that
participated in the professional leagues.

Wu Nas little party had 4 people altogether. The leader was a core guild member called Ran
LiLi. Wu Na called her sister Li. They were already level 3. Although she regretted that she
couldnt play with Ye Cang and the others, she discovered that sister Li and the girls were all
good people so not all was lost.

Ye Cang, Im level 3 now. What about you guys? Wu Na opened her chat and messaged him.

Ye Cang who was slaughtering the green pimples froze for a moment, looked at his own level: 2
- 54%, and calmly replied: Were also level 3.

Oh right, Im now a member of Thorns and Roses Wu Na happily said.

Thorns and Roses Whats that? Ye Cang played with his eyebrows looking confused.

Wu Na fell silent.

Bro, it looks like its a chinese women only guild. They have quite a bit of fame. Its said they
have a lot of beauties a lot. Zhang ZhengXiong reminded from the side.

So? Ye Cangs sword stabbed into a slimes eye splashing acid everywhere. It dealt an extra
50% damage.

Not talking to you anymore! Remember to message me when you reach level 10 and choose a
town!! Wu Na hung left the chat with a stuffy feeling in her chest. This dumb Ye Cang.

Boyfriend? A handsome girl with a long ponytail asked as she slid to the side, her wooden
sword stabbing at a turkey. She turned around and smiled. She had a pretty, egg-shaped face, her
whole body held a mature charm. This was the one Wu Na called sister Li.

Wu Na looked a little sad as she shook her head. Hes just a good friend.

Just 20 more and were done with the quest Ye Cang slowly took out a some leftover Green
Slime and Mushroom Stew. The three of them were already level 3.

Brother LilWhite, can we not drink this thing? Lin Le covered his mouth. Zhang
ZhengXiongs expression became very fierce.

Only after bitter hardships can you acquire fame and riches! Ye Cang clenched his teeth and
started eating.

Brother LilWhite. Bro. Lin Le and Zhang ZhengXiong muttered as they watched Ye Cang
with admiration. They also leaned over and started eating.

Its even worse when its cold. Lin Le scowled miserably.

The three again filled up their health and heaved for a while. Due to the 3 points of poison
resistance, their efficiency rose by a lot. It didnt take them long to finish off the last 20 slimes.
Ye Cang looked at the things in his bag. It was filled with slime gels, acid and eyes. The 100
slimes also dropped 23 copper. The three felt depressed.

Lets go hand in the quest. Ye Cang saw that night was falling in the game and sobbed.

The light of the setting sun covered the entire town. Golden stalks of wheat swayed as players
endlessly moved about, exploring, making noise, trading, and courting disasters.
Chapter 5: Looking for Jesse
Really New Village, in a farmhouse tavern.

The three of them arrived at the tavern and found North sitting at a crude, square table. Drinking
ale with him was a big, bearded man.

Uncle, we wrangled 100 slimes. Ye Cang got straight to the point.

Thanks lads. Heres your reward~ Belch~ North belched and gave Ye Cang a silver coin.

Congratulations, you completed The Cause of Norths Headache. You receive 100 experience
and a random common weapon.

Congratulations, you received a willow bow (common) Ye Cang received the system message.
A shortbow was added to his bag.

Willow Bow (Common)

Category: Shortbow

Requirements: 8 Strength

Damage: 2 - 4

Equivalently, Zhang ZhengXiong received a rough iron handaxe, damage 2 - 5. Lele received a
crude longsword, damage 3 - 4.

You boys can go now. Belch~ North saw Ye Cangs look of expectation and waved them
away.

The three of them looked at the two drunkards and reckoned there wouldnt be another quest.
They slowly left the tavern.

I feel a little disappointed Zhang said while watching the stars.

Ye Cang nodded then shook his head. The reward can be considered valuable. Earlier I looked
at the black market prices and 1 copper is worth over 100 federal dollars (100 federal dollars =
10 RMB = 2.00 CND). The quest gave us 1 silver. The forums said theres no monsters that drop
money except for slimes that occasionally drop 1 copper.

Then what do we do now? Lin Le didnt really understand and asked.

Lets go. I want to buy some arrows. Lets go to that old grannys general store. Oh right, Lele,
give me the longsword. Ye Cang borrowed Lin Les longsword and hung it at his waist, put a
shortbow on his back and led the two to the crude, old general store.
The three of them entered the store. The dim light from oil lamps lit up the interior of the
building.

Bro, granny has a quest giver expression now Zhang ZhengXiong saw that old lady named
Rica was now anxious and looked like she couldnt sit still.

Granny, did something happen? Ye Cang nodded looking deeply concerned. This deeply
concerned expression wasnt fake.

My grandson Jesse still hasnt come home yet. Im worried something happened to him. Could
you lads help me find him? Rica, seeing Ye Cangs concern, sobbed as she requested.

Ye Cang nodded: Then can you tell me, where did your grandson go?

I also dont know but he said he was going give me a surprise. The old lady Rica said,
flustered.

I hope he didnt go to the forest to the north. Wuu~Wuu~ Its all my fault! My fault! Its
because I told him that there was an ancient tree that could grant wishes. Jesse and I rely on each
other; if he were to die, Ill have no reason to live!! The old lady Rica gave a heartbreaking cry.
I beg of you, please help me find Jesse. I beg of you!!

The old ladys pleading was very mournful. Ye Cang looked at that wrinkled face. It was full of
worry and concern. In his mind, a wrinkled cheek full of kindness appeared.

Grandma, Grandma. They all call me a monster and throw stones at me. Am I really a
monster?

Little Cang, youre not a monster. Youre grandmas darling. No matter how others see you or
what they say to you, remember, youll always be grandmas most well behaved little darling~

Grandma, I passed the test. Ive also planted your favorite carnations. Youll definitely get
better! Definitely! I want to be with grandma forever!

Little Cang, grandma has to go. Sorry I cant see you get married or have children. Dont cry,
men shouldnt cry! Grandma is old, this is a fate that no one can escape from, so dont be sad.
Little darling~

Ye Cang stopped recalling and took a deep breath. His eyes were full of resolution as he slowly
said: Granny, Ill definitely help you find your grandson. Definitely

Bro Zhang ZhengXiong looked at Ye Cangs expression, he thought of the picture of Ye

Cang and an old lady and said: Mm. Leave it to us!

Lin Le also repeatedly nodded his head.

I need some arrows. Ye Cang took out a coin. Rica refused: Take whatever you need, I just
want to hurry and see Jesse.

Ye Cang took a leather quiver with 30 arrows and properly secured it to his back. He took a few
torches and flints and hurriedly brought the other two to leave the store. He didnt look back to
see the old lady standing at the doorway. They started heading to the forest to the north.

Night time, the wild beasts paradise. Most of the players wont go too deep into the woods
because the gains wouldnt make up for the losses, much less a group of level 3 - 4s. The farm
was as lively as before. The fringe of the forest also had a steady stream of explorers. However
the northern forest that the three were going towards was abnormally quiet.

Lighting a torch, the three wandered into the forest.

Bro, do you think the ancient tree the old lady mentioned really exists? Zhang ZhengXiong
asked while vigilantly looking in all directions.

I dont know, however, a moment ago, i saw a childs footprints. He should be in this direction.
Our quest is to find Jesse and bring him back to granny. Set aside the rest for the time being
Ye Cang used the torchlight to carefully observe the surroundings.

Brother LilWhite, the surroundings feel weird. Lin Le, who was walking at the back, said
weakly. He was a bit afraid.

Halt, theres some activity! Zhang ZhengXiong felt there was something nearby.

The three of them slowly stopped. Several blood red lights flickered. Three black furred feral
wolves appeared before their eyes. They were half a size bigger than normal wolves. Ye Cang
shuddered with fear as he slowly took out his longsword. LilXiong, pin down two of them. Me
and Lele will focus on taking down that one and then come support you!

I got it, bro. Zhang ZhengXiong didnt hesitate to nod.

Lele! Go!! Ye Cang advanced towards the right feral wolf. He kept his body low as he rushed
towards it. Lin Le followed behind dragging his big axe. Zhang ZhengXiong straightforwardly
attacked and blocked the two feral wolves pouncing over, smashing one with his axe and dodged
under the other wolfs pounce. Without retreating, he stepped into the wolfs bosom and lashed
at the wolfs waist with a heavy punch. Damage numbers appeared above the wolf and there was
over 50% extra damage added. The wolf howled as it hit the ground. Zhang ZhengXiong yelled:
Bro, hit their waist!

On the other side, Ye Cang kept low and slid under the feral wolfs pounce. He leaned to the side
and hacked at its waist. Lin Le also received Zhang ZhengXiongs message. He faced the
airborne wolf and swung at it with his axe flipping it onto the ground. Ye Cang did not miss this
opportunity. He quickly arrived in front of it, reversed his grip on his sword, inserting it into the
base of the wolves head, and yelled: Lele! Go help LilXiong!! The near-death feral wolf
clawed at Ye Cangs stomach with its sharp claws, drawing a burst of blood.

Zhang ZhengXiong, who was outnumbered, received two claw strikes losing more than half his
health. He felt a chill on his back, but facing the wolf in front of him, he had no attention to
spare.

Au~! A whine sounded out. Zhang ZhengXiong slightly turned his head to look around using
the light from the torch on the ground. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the feral wolf that
was mid-pounce get chopped by Leles wood-cutting axe. As the axes trajectory chopped
towards the wolfs waist, Zheng ZhengXiong let out the breath he was holding.
Chapter 6: Fluorescent Slime
Ye Cang bore the wound from the claw, and firmly nailed the wolf under him into the ground,
killing it. Seeing that he didnt even have 6 health left, he laughed bitterly.

On the other side, because of Lin Les help, the pressure on Zhang ZhengXiong reduced by a lot.
He added more points into constitution than most people, allowing him to stand firm for so long.
He bore three claw attacks and still retained a third of his health. He pushed away the wolf in
front of him and cooperated with Lin Le to slay the one collapsed behind him. Then, the three of
them cooperated to take down the third one, getting through this daunting experience without
any skills. If a normal player were in this situation, they would have panicked and been killed
back to town. Whats more, night time was the wolf type monsters paradise.

Lin Le reached out and searched one of the dead feral wolves and pulled out a sheepskin map
covered in drool. Brother LilWhite! I found something!

Zhang ZhengXiong searched another one of the corpses: Bro, I found a wolf tooth necklace!

Wolf Tooth Necklace (Common)

Category: Necklace

Attack + 1

Ye Cang turned his head realising these feral wolves give pretty good loot. He looked at the wolf
pinned under him and reached his hand out. The other two watched Ye Cang searching left and
right and finally stood up and gave the feral wolf corpse two good kicks before continuing to
search. He straightforwardly picked up the feral wolf corpse and shook it with all his strength,
hoping something would fall out. Finally, he suddenly threw the wolf corpse to the ground and
roared: F**k! This biased system!

Both Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le were speechless.

Ye Cang used his harvest skill on the 3 wolf corpses and got non-food materials: black feral wolf
leather and teeth; as well as the cooking materials: feral wolf meat, heart and bone.

Feral Wolf Meat (Common): edible, has a heavy fishy smell.

Wolf Heart (Common): edible, fairly tasty.

Wolf Bone (Common): contains calcium.

Lets quickly recover. Ye Cang took out his iron pot, lit a fire and started cooking green slime
and mushroom stew. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le weakly nodded. Taking advantage of the
cooking fire, the three of them looked at the map. There was a compass in the middle to tell
direction. There was an X mark southeast of town near a river on a pile of rocks.
Bro, this should be where a treasure is buried!! Zhang ZhengXiong looked at the sheepskin
map and happily said.

Wait till we finish the quest to find Jesse. Well bring some shovels. Our first chance to make a
fortune has come!! Ye Cang nodded. Lin Les ahoge excitedly swayed. As for the necklace, Ye
Cang sneakily wore it.

At this moment, the stink from the pot arrived. It thoroughly quenched the threes excitement.
Their scalps felt numb and despite having eaten it three times already, they still felt horrified.

Um, Bro, how about throwing in the wolf meat too. Maybe itll taste a bit better Zhang
ZhengXiong said looking at the lush green soup, nearly vomiting. Lin Le continuously nodded.

Ye Cang hurriedly pulled out some wolf meat (legs and ribs), a couple wolf bones, a wolf heart
and threw them all in, stirring them with a stick. The original stink became even more severe,
such that the three had difficulty even opening their eyes. They saw the pots content change from
a lush green into a dark, inky green. It emitted a bubble that sounded like a feral wolfs whine.

Congratulations, you completed a dark recipe. Please name it. You receive 50 experience and
cooking proficiency +5%.

Ye Cang stared blankly for a moment before saying: Green Slime and Feral Wolf Stew.

Green Slime and Feral Wolf Stew (Dark Cooking): While youre eating, heal 3 health every 5
seconds. Furthermore, gain 4 poison resistance and 1 strength but can cause nausea, discomfort
and other side-effects. (PS: This is a simple and easy dark recipe.)

Bro, are you sure we should eat this thing? Zhang ZhengXiong asked timidly. Lin Le pointed
at a wild boar and feral wolf that was approaching them. The three of them leaned over and
watched as the wolf and boar got closer, smelled the product and turned heel running for their
lives.

The three of them stared blankly, turned back to look at the ink green stew, and shivered.

Ye Cang took a bowl and gave it to the vacantly staring Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le. He took
a ladle and shakily poured himself a bowl. The more bitter you eat, the more outstanding you
will become!!

The two had a burst of bravery after hearing Ye Cangs irrational speech. They clenched their
teeth, poured themselves a bowl, and started painfully eating.

After the three healed up, they each stuck a finger in their mouth trying to throw it back up but
they couldnt. Ye Cang put away the remaining half pot and looked at his haggard companions.
Lets continue forwards.
Bro, I suddenly feel like the plan where I sell fried cakes and Lele sold baked yams sounds
really good right now Zhang ZhengXiong murmured. Lin Le couldnt help by nod his head.

Ye Cang coldly roared: Youre really saying these ambitionless words!? Were already about to
become professional gamers!! The other two sighed. They lit another torch and continued
onwards, leaving marks so they wouldnt lose their way.

Several hours of searching and they still turned up empty handed. The game had already become
late night. Besides a pile of wolf meat, wolf skin, etc, the other things became a second dark
cooking product. Despite adding mushrooms found in the forest, there was not much change.

It should be that way! Under the moonlight, among the shadows of trees, there was one that
reached high into the sky. Ye Cang pointed and the three continued forwards.

Why havent we seen any slimes? Lin Le asked.

Dont mention those things, just thinking about it makes me sick. They probably arent
nocturnal creatures. Zhang ZhengXiong covered his mouth.

Wait, theres something there! Ye Cang stopped and and saw something glowing in the
shrubbery on the left. Different front the torchlight, it had a warm fluorescent glow.

A player? Zhang ZhengXiong took the lead and the three of them approached.

Its not a fire. It should be an animal or spirit or something Ye Cang signalled for them to
surround it. Lele, you go around the right side

Lin Le nodded and carefully went around the right to flank the creature.

Ye Cang went to the left and slowly raise his head, peeking over a large rock. A meter large
slime radiating fluorescent light was eating the bush. He rubbed his eyes and looked again.
Slime?

Fluorescent Slime (Rare Creature): A monster in the slime family. They are extremely rare and
only occasionally come out to hunt at night.

This one should taste better Zhang ZhengXiong slowly made his way over and waited for
Ye Cangs signal.

Ye Cang slowly took out an arrow and readied his short bow, the bowstring stretched taut aiming
at the slime. He let go: Shoo!

Perhaps because of its danger sense, the slime moved. The arrow ended up hitting the
fluorescent slime right in the eye, spurting out transparent liquids.
Go! Ye Cang shouted and dashed out somewhat grudgingly. The bows power was still a bit
lacking and its speed a bit slow. The three people surrounded the slime in a triangle formation
and drew closer.

@#!% The fluorescent slime made an indescribably sound. Its big round eyes and body
radiated even more light, blinding the three as if theyd been hit by a flash bang. The surrounding
forest was momentarily illuminated.
Chapter 7: Fluorescent Ring
Ye Cang was positioned a bit further than the others. When the light flashed, he vaguely saw that
it was trying to run away from the the space to the right of Zhang ZhengXiong. AXiong! At
your four oclock! Cut it off!!

Zhang ZhengXiong, despite being blind, used his other senses. He faced towards his right and
charged. He crashed into something soft and scalding hot. He took this opportunity to chop his
axe into it. The brilliant light created a lot of heat, Lin Le smelled a trace of burning and then
heard Zhang ZhengXiongs snarl: Ah!!.

Ye Cang watched the light and took a big stride forwards. Lele, Attack!!

Brother LilWhite! I cant see anything, its too bright! Lin Le yelled.

Swing one meter ahead at your waist!! Ye Cang roared with his eyes closed. He ducked as Lin
Les woodcutters axe brushed past the top of his head. His body followed a streamlined
trajectory as his longsword followed closely behind. Whoosh~ he stabbed into the light, the hot
feeling spread to his hand and his health began to fall. The closer one was to the light, the faster
their health would fall. He hurriedly pulled his sword out and continued stabbing.

Bro, Lele, hurry! Im almost dead! Zhang ZhengXiong roared. His health plummeted and he
was still blind. At most he could last another 3 seconds. The fluorescent slime was becoming
brighter and brighter.

Not good! Ye Cangs pulled his longsword back again for another stab, this time it brought
with it a wave of fluorescent shining fluid. Then, just in time, a diagonal chop arrived. Lin Les
chop had finished it off.

Congratulations, youve killed the fluorescent slime. You obtain 100 experience.

Hearing the system announcement, Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong could finally release their
tension. If they didnt have the high powered axe from Lin Les gift box, they would have
definitely been sent back to town.

This thing gives a lot of experience. Were close to leveling up again. Zhang ZhengXiong said,
resentfully looking at his remaining 3 health.

Im already level 4. Due to the experience from creating a dark cooking recipe, Ye Cang had
become level 4. He added his 1 point into Dexterity and looked at the still shining fluorescent
slime corpse. He blinked his eyes and slowly reach out his hand.

Zhang ZhengXiong hurriedly stepped forwards and held Ye Cang back. Lele! Go loot!

Bro! This rare creature is very important for our professional career! Calm down! Zhang
ZhengXiong yelled.
Trust me! Im not unlucky! Ill definitely get something good! Ye Cang was unable to take his
eyes off the dead slime. He reached his hand out to try and touch it, unwilling to give up. Zhang
ZhengXiong firmly held him back.

Lin Le looked around the corpse and pulled out a ring. Brother LilWhite! Brother LilXiong!
Something good appeared!!

Zhang ZhengXiong released Ye Cang and the two of them looked closely at the ring in Lin Les
hand. It was slightly transparent and gave a light fluorescent glow. It looked graceful and
elegant.

Fluorescent Ring (Rare)

Category: Ring

Requirements: None

Wisdom +1

Fluorescence: In the area in front of you, within a certain range, cause 5 damage and blinds
(cooldown: 1 hour).

PS: A ring that flicker with fluorescent light during the night.

Not bad. Lele, good job. Cough~ Cough~ As the eldest brother, the ring is mine Ye Cang
grabbed the ring.

The eldest should yield to the younger ones!! Zhang ZhengXiong said as he snatched it.

I looted it! Its mine~!! Lin Le seized it back again.

The three of them scuffled as the ugly side of human nature revealed itself. Finally, as Zhang
ZhengXiong was a priest and needed wisdom, he took it away.

Oh right! You rascal, youre a priest that adds constitution!! Hand over the ring!! Ye Cang
roared when he recalled that fact while looking at Zhang ZhengXiong gently caressing the ring.

Right! Hand it over! Lin Le said, his hands on his waist.

Who says! Even though I add a lot to Constitution, but as a priest, I still need Wisdom!! Zhang
ZhengXiong said earnestly and hurriedly put the ring on.

He hadnt even put a single point in Wisdom! Ye Cang gnashed his teeth as he crouched down to
use gather on the fluorescent slime and got: 2 fluorescent slime eyes, a fluorescent gel, and a
fluorescent gland.
Fluorescent Slime Eye (Rare): The eye of a fluorescent slime, edible.

Fluorescent Gel (Rare): What makes up most of the fluorescent slimes body, edible.

Fluorescent Gland (Rare): The gland that makes the fluorescent slime shine, edible.

Ok! Heal up and well continue searching. This ring will probably save us quite a few times.
Ye Cang put away the fluorescent slime materials and unhurriedly took out the half pot of green
slime and feral wolf stew. He indifferently said: Its still warm so we can still eat it. Once it
goes cold

The happiness from getting the ring instantly turned into a bitter smile as they held out their
bowls. They originally considered using wolf meat and wolf bones or hunting a wild boar and
making a pork stew, but after thinking it over, they realised they could use green slime and feral
wolf stew to ward off wild animals. Therefore, they couldnt help but to cook this thing.

As they got closer and closer to the towering tree, it became increasingly auspicious and
peaceful. Under the moonlight, their hearts became tranquil.

The three looked at the ancient tree under the light of the moon. Vines were hung down from the
lush foliage above. Ye Cang estimated that this tree was at least 30 meters.

This should be the mysterious, ancient tree that the general store granny mentioned Zhang
ZhengXiong looked at the ancient tree feeling relaxed.

Ye Cang noticed that there was some activity near the trees massive roots. Keeping quiet, the
three of them lowered their bodies and moved around the bushes. Ye Cang readied his bow as he
approached the disorderly roots and signalled the others to coordinate. He suddenly pulled his
bowstring, his arrow aiming at the thing near the roots. Although it was dark, under the
moonlight, they could still see the silhouette of a child curled up and shivering. Ye Cang quickly
lowered his bow. Jesse?

The child, hearing someone call out his name and seeing a white haired man with a bow, happily
crawled out. A child with a shabby wool hat and simple clothes appeared in front of the three.

Granny Rica asked us to bring you home Ye Cang looked at Jesses little face, and slowly
extended his hand. Shall we go.

At this very moment, noiselessly, Ye Cang felt the moonlight get darker. The ground was
covered in shadows. Jesses startled expression turned into one of dismay. His back felt cold and
his heart sank. Not good!

Bro!! Zhang ZhengXiongs shout out.

Ye Cang instantly grabbed Jesse and kicked his right foot, sending himself flying to the left.
Something brushed past his cheek coming from behind. A cold light flashed by, burning a few of
his white hairs.

Ye Cang held Jesse as they hit the ground and rolled a few times. He quickly got up and looked
back. What entered his eyes was a 3 meter tall human shaped figure, but it had an incomparably
sinister wolf head, black fur, and exceptionally robust arms. It had left behind three deep claw
marks on the tree. With eyes filled with bloodlust, it gave a howl that left others shivering in
fear.
Chapter 8: Danger Around Every Corner
Ye Cang identified it: Black Werewolf Vyers, elite?

Zhang ZhengXiong advanced with large strides towards Ye Cang who was in danger. He
vigorously roared and ferociously chopped at the werewolf with his handaxe.

Ye Cang pushed Jesse away: Find somewhere safe and hide!!

Mm! Jesse said as he crawled to hide under the ancient trees roots.

The wolf man, who was battling Zhang ZhengXiong, used its claws to block the handaxe. Taking
advantage of the shock from the attack, it knocked Zhang ZhengXiong back and raised up a
claw, creating a flash of cold light like earlier. Lin Le held his large axe firmly, barely moving
even a step. He looked at Zhang ZhangXiong, who hadnt negated the force from the attack, with
eyes full of impatience.

Ye Cang raised his bright white eyebrows. He held his breath and barely blinked put an
arrow on his bow aimed then fired in an instant! It all happened too quickly for the eye to
see.

Congratulations, youve obtained a high grade shooting skill - Rapid Shot (Beginner Level
Passive): Can trigger when concentrating. Instantly fire an arrow at the target. Accuracy reduced
10%.

Shoo~

The werewolf was hit by Ye Cangs arrow mid swing causing it to pause for a split second.
Zhang ZhengXiong, with his fast reflexes, quickly held up the hand with the fluorescent ring. A
white light flashed, and the werewolf wailed, covering its eyes. It started to carelessly pound the
ground, causing dirt and mud to fly up.

Zhang ZhengXiong had already frantically rolled away, not caring about his appearance in order
to escape its attack range. Lin Le looked at the werewolf and saw that on its neck, though not
very deep, an arrow had suddenly appeared. He pouted and taking advantage of this opening,
brandished his large axe at the werewolfs waist.

Awoo! An angry wolf howl sounded out. The werewolf perceived the attack and easily
blocked the attack at his waist with its claws. Clang~ Although it was blocked, Lin Le gave a
quiet but angry roar as he used the rebound from his axe bouncing off the claw to turn a full 360
degrees and performed a diagonal chop at its collarbone causing blood to spurt out.

Lele, be careful! Its vision is back! Zhang ZhengXiong words let Lin Le, who planned to
continue attacking, take a step back. Two claws crossed as they scratched Lin Les stomach,
dripping in blood. If he didnt take that step back, he would have been torn into pieces.
Lin Le sucked in a breath of cold air. He only had 4 health left, nearly dead.

Lele, get back! Keep moving and wait for a chance!! Ye Cang shot an arrow at the werewolfs
eyes, stopping it from going after Lin Le.

Zhang ZhengXiong hurried to take Lin Les position at the front. Using his axe, he chopped at
the werewolfs head. Ye Cang continued shooting arrows as he moved.

Clang~ The arrows were knocked aside by the sharp claws. Zhang ZhengXiong cautiously
kept the wolf entangled, but dared not recklessly attack as their strength was too far apart. Lele
might have been able to compete with it in power for a bit, but obviously only because the
werewolf had been careless. This speed and power. Damn they might be screwed this time.

As for Lin Le, he didnt dare close in again, keeping a distance of 4-5 meters. His two hands
firmly held onto the woodcutters axe. He slowly wandered towards Ye Cang while waiting for
his chance. His stomach was an unbearable mess.

Ye Cang frowned and thought: Mother of god, did this thing get stronger? I, your father, had
shot 7 arrows, 5 were blocked and the ones that had hit didnt even tickle it, much less hurt it.
Though my archery is not the best, it is still pretty good, not to mention I even had the racial
bonus to bow weapons from the game. AXiong probably cant hold on for much longer. Seeing
Lin Le who had arrived, He threw out his iron pot. Hurry and eat! Heal as much as you can!

Lin Le coldly stared at the iron pot and hesitated, unsure of whether to catch it or not.

Zhang ZhengXiong depended on his genius level reaction speed to dodge past a fatal attack. He
saw out of the corner of his eyes, the werewolf had drawn back the corner of his mouth. It was
looking at the iron pot flying towards Lin Le! Not good!!

The robust werewolf pounced, throwing up dust and grass. His posture like a cheetahs as he
rushed towards the iron pot and Lin Le. Zhang ZhengXiong noticed there were no obstacles in
its way and that display of speed. It all left him feeling powerless as he hurried to chase after it.

Lin Le saw the terrifying eyes and the stunning speed, and his heart sank. Eh Guess Im
returning to town. Hope it doesnt hurt

The arrow that Ye Cang shot, was easily deflected by the charging werewolf. Though unwilling,
he couldnt save Lele

Brother LilWhite! Take Jesse and run!! Me and Brother LilXiong will hold him back! Lin Le
saw it coming closer and closer. He firmly held his woodcutters axe and roared.

Bro! Leles right! Take Jesse and go!! Zhang ZhengXiong roared, with a face full of dust.

Hell no! How could I leave you guys behind!! Ye Cang charged towards Lin Le, shooting as
he ran.
Brother LilWhite

Bro

The two of them were moved.

Let me take him! Damn! Lele, get away first! Me and LilXiong will catch up right away!! Ye
Cang bellowed.

Mm!! Lin Le smiled, relieved. He raised his woodcutters axe high and chopped down at the
silhouette that was approaching him.

The iron pot still flying through the air, was accidently hit by one of Ye Cangs arrows as he shot
while running. Clang~ It changed directions and accelerated towards a spot not far from Lin
Le. The soup, eyeballs and the overboiled wolf meat all spilled with some accidently falling into
the werewolfs mouth. The broken pot continued spilling out stew.

Lin Le had his eyes closed as he roared Yaah~! hacking forwards with his axe.

Lin Le felt his axe hitting air and his heart sank. An ominous wind blew his short hair. A black
furred figure rushed past him, with a long scar on its face.

Lin Le wondered why he hadnt died and suspiciously opened one eye. He blinked a few times
looking left and right. Where was the monster?

Ye Cang had a complicated expression as he slowly stopped his charge. Zhang ZhengXiong had
his mouth hanging wide open. Not far away, a werewolf was passed out. It had fallen on the
ground, sliding several meters.

Lin Le followed Zhang ZhengXiongs gaze. The, just recently violent, werewolf had its face in
the dirt and was frothing at the mouth while continuously twitching. Its body was covered in a
familiar smell. He stared blankly, the axe in his hand fell to the ground. It turns out the thing we
were eating was this amazing

The three of them were confused. They all stared at the werewolf on the ground that was
nearly dead.

The werewolfs twitching slowly stopped, got up and started continuously vomiting.

Dont give him a chance! Kill him! Ye Cang quickly shot an arrow. The arrow accurately hit
its neck, causing it to howl out in pain.

Zhang ZhengXiong raised his hand axe and chopped down on the same spot that Ye Cangs
arrow had hit. Blood once again spurted out. Following Zhang ZhengXiongs attack, came the
still bleeding Lin Le. He jumped into the air, chopping down like he was performing an
execution. His woodcutters axe hit the ground along with the wolf head, spurting blood.
Congratulations, youve killed a black werewolf. Received 300 experience.

A large amount of experience directly leveled the three of them up to level 5.

Ye Cang continued to foolishly stare at the head of the werewolf. He slowly extended his hand
which was shaking in excitement.

Zhang ZhengXiong, like an American football player, tackled Ye Cang, knocking him down and
held him tightly by his legs. Ye Cang, unwilling to give up, wiggled towards the corpse. Let me
loot! Let me loot it! Release me!!.

Lele! Hurry and loot! Zhang ZhengXiong howled.

Lin Le hurried to loot the corpse, his back covered in cold sweat. He held up a meter long
machete that was radiating black light. We got a weapon! A machete!
Chapter 9: Plentiful Rewards
Black Wolf Machete (Fine)

Category: Blade

Requirements: 8 Strength

Damage: 5 - 7

PS: This machete contains a bit of black-iron. Needless to say, its very good at chopping.

Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong who were tangled together stared blankly for a moment. They
glanced at each other and Rock, Paper Scissors!

Scissors! Ye Cang.

Rock! Zhang ZhengXiong.

F**k! Ye Cang was losing his mind.

Zhang ZhengXiong excitedly grabbed the machete from Lin Les hands. In his right hand was a
machete, his left hand a handaxe. He said with a tranquil expression: My life is complete

Ye Cang dismantled the werewolfs body and obtained: black werewolf leather, Vyers wolf
head, black werewolf meat, black werewolf heart.

Brother LilWhite, we wont be eating this thing right? Lin Le said feeling a bit nauseous.

Depends on the situation. The path of a professional player isnt so easy. Ye Cang said
seriously, as he recovered the corpse.

Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le felt their scalps become numb.

Little Jesse felt things had calmed down outside, he slowly crawled out from under the roots. He
saw the body of the monster and gratefully said: Thank you everyone.

Ye Cang humbly smiled and looked towards the ancient tree. This is the tree?

Mm! Its this forests oldest tree. Its a symbol of health Little Jesse patted the dust off his
clothes, held onto his handknit hat, and faced the ancient tree with his eyes closed.

Zhang ZhengXiong looked at Jesse who was frightened just a moment ago yet still wanted to
help his grandmother by praying for her health. He turned his head to look at the absent-minded
Ye Cang. Lin Le, who was also like a child, put his two hands together and prayed: I wish the
world will be peaceful. I wish Brother LilWhite and Brother LilXiong can live healthy and
happily. I wish that, during the next test, we can successfully bomb the command center. I
wish

Zhang ZhengXiong, seeing Lin Le enter his endlessly spouting wishes mode, gave a sigh as
he faintly smiled.

Ye Cang looked at the falling leaves and recalled his own grandmother holding his hand as they
went to pray at a temple.

Buddha. Bless Little Cang so that he can find a beautiful wife in the future, and live happily
She prayed for him among the dazzling gods. Back in the game, Ye Cangs silver pupils
followed the moonlight as it penetrated the foliage. He saw, hanging off a branch of the big tree,
a 10cm large fruit. Despite it being just a fuzzy shadow, but when the moonlight slipped through,
it revealed a glossy portion. Ye Cang aimed his bow.

Shoo~! The arrow slipped past the branches and hit the stem holding the fruit. He reached out
and caught it as it fell.

Fruit of the Holy Oak Tree (): The Holy Oak Tree only produces a fruit every 50 years.
Exceptionally Precious. Edible. Eat it directly to permanently gain 1 Intelligence and Wisdom,
and have a chance to learn a nature spell.

Ye Cang looked at the fruit in his hand and carefully put it away. He knew how precious
attribute points were, this thing should be used carefully to maximize its value.

Zhang ZhengXiong didnt say anything. Lin Le and Jesse were still praying.

Im hungry. Jesse said when he finished his prayers. His little face looked towards Ye Cang
with expectation.

Perfect, Lele and LilXiong need to heal a bit too Ye Cang walked towards the deformed
metal pot and slowly picked it up. He looked at Jesse and smiled.

Thank you big brother! Jesses naive little face smiled back.

Zhang ZhengXiong thought back to the werewolfs reaction and that smell his whole
body went numb. Lin Les prayers became somewhat incoherent.

Even though the iron pot was deformed, but it was still useable. Ye Cang effortlessly threw
together a meal.

Dont tell me this is what were eating Jesse looked at the ink green product in the iron pot,
taking a few steps back and pouted.

Little kids shouldnt be picky! Ye Cang held him and dragged him back.
Thats right! Lin Le said, putting his hands on his hip.

You dont want to know how it tastes when it gets cold. Zhang ZhengXiong broke out in cold
sweat.

Grandma! Save me! Waaaa~

Ah~ So gross!

Ah~!!

In the quiet forest, Ye Cang carried an unconscious Jesse on his back. Who knew if he had fallen
asleep or passed out from the stink. The three of them walked back the way they came.

I remember my sister use to carry me home like that Zhang ZhengXiong looked at Jesse and
absentmindedly smiled.

Ye Cang didnt reply, slowly continuing forwards.

I saw your characters name Hearing Zhang ZhengXiongs words, Ye Cang shook his head.
He scratched the back of his head and gave a little smile. Dont worry about me, brat

Zhang ZhengXiong nodded and didnt continue speaking. Thats right Its already in the past.
He wrapped his arm around Lin Le and showed off his ring. Lin Le pouted, angry.

Qin Xue 1 Ye Cang softly whispered.

Really New Village.

Waiting at the ranch, unable to sit still, was Rica. Seeing Ye Cang and the others, as well as Jesse
who was on his back, her tears began to pour out.

Grandma Rica, we found Jesse! Lin Le yelled, waving his torch from far away.

Thank you all! Thank you all! I dont know how I can ever repay you Rica took the sleeping
Jesse, and continued to bow with tears in her eyes.

Congratulations! Completed a mission unique to Really New Village: Entrusted by Rica, Find
Mischievous Child - Jesse. You receive a random class talent, 500 experience, and your fame
with Rica becomes respected.

Congratulations! Youve obtained the class talent - Heart of a Knight (Beginner Level -
Passive): +1 to all attributes, crowd controlling effects are reduced by 15% with 5% chance to
break free, movement speed +5%, reflex +3.
Bro, I got the talent - I Feel Your Pain (Gain 30% of Constitution as Wisdom, Spell Focus +5).
Now my wisdom isnt too low!! Zhang ZhengXiong excitedly said.

Eh, mine is the arms dealers Knockoff Alchemy? Knockoff Alchemy? It sounds crappy Lin
Le pouted. It didnt even add attributes.

Rica brought the three of them back to the general store. She put Jesse down on a crude bed and
tucked him in. She looked at the three of them gratefully. Although Im not rich, nor am I
learned, but I know to return kindness and favors

Rica opened her cabinet and took out a coin pouch. In the shabby pouch was a few gold coins
and some silver coins.

Ye Cang shook his head. Thank you, however this is enough for a reward He reached out
his hand and grabbed a batch of shoddy arrows. His other hand grabbed a new iron pot. Taking
these, he walked out of the general store, turned back and said with a smile: Remember to not
let Jesse run too far, the forest is really dangerous

Ill take some spices then. It should make it taste a bit better Zhang ZhengXiong grabbed
some salt, pepper, and chili.

Then Ill Ill grab some empty bottles. Granny, take care Lin Le stuffed some empty
bottles into his bag, and politely called out to Rica before rushing to catch up to the other two.

Rica stared blankly. She looked at the empty grocery store and at the sleeping Jesse. She slowly
put her coin pouch back. Her wrinkled face smiled and a tear twinkled in the corner of her eye.
Three fools She jogged out the door and saw the three of them disappearing into the
distance. She yelled at the fading figures: Remember to come here if you need to buy
anything!!

Got it!!

20% discount?!

Will we get a membership card if we go again? I want to collect points

Scram! You think youve spent enough?!

The voices slowly became more distant.

Rica returned inside and saw Jesse struggling in his sleep.

Grandma! Save me! The white haired guy is a demon!! Save me! I dont want to eat that
disgusting thing!!

1: Ye Cangs in game name is a combination of the character Pale/Ash-Gray (Cang) from his
name and Snow (Xue) from QinXue.
Chapter 10: Lunch Time
Bro, are we going to go dig up the buried treasure now? Zhang ZhengXiong said quietly,
looking left and right.

Ye Cang nodded. This matter should not be delayed. Lets leave town, then well talk.

The three of them stopped speaking and walked towards the southeast. As they passed a street,
they ran into a crowd of players. Now was precisely the time when player activity in town was at
its peak. The monsters at night were too strong, most players had no choice but to form parties.
Due to problems with torchlight and various other problems, most either chose to continue
fighting at the farms or setting up a stall to trade. The surrounding players looked at the shortbow
on Ye Cangs back and the rusty longsword at his waist, their eyes filled with envy. Most people
were only at level 3 or 4, it was already considered pretty good to have one common weapon, let
alone a ranged weapon.

YellowSprings, what do you think of those three players? A short haired man holding a
longstaff with a resolute, square face, and a threatening aura asked, looked at Ye Cangs group of
three.

New faces, they should be noobs. However, their operating ability should be decent. The big
guy in the middle always has his two hands near his weapons, like an expert. The short one
seems ordinary, he should have a strength based class. As for the white haired one, Truth be told,
Im unable to make sense of him. He looks random yet he gives people a bad feeling. However,
all of their equipment is very good. How did they get a ranged weapon so quickly? Did you want
to personally go recruit them? The man dragging a long blade, who was called YellowSprings
raised his eyebrows and smiled.

For now I dont plan to. Lets just keep an eye on them for now. The short haired man faintly
smiled. Lets go, ScarletPeak and the others have discovered some ghouls.

Ye Cang and the others left where the players were gathering and lit a torch. They followed the
river and disposed of a few wandering feral wolves before arriving at the pile of rocks.

According to the map, it should be around here. Ye Cang arrived near the pile of rocks and
stepped on the wet ground.

The three of them took out shovels and started digging. Three holes later, Zhang ZhengXiong
felt his shovel hit something hard and excitedly called out: Treasure!!

The three of them dug up the surrounding dirt and discovered a 30cm chest covered in dirt. Ye
Cang slowly pulled it out. He extended a hand, with a crazy look in his eye. Watch my divine
hand in action.

Zhang ZhengXiong immediately locked hands with Ye Cang, restraining him. Bro! There will
be plenty of chances for you to experiment in the future! For now, let Lele open it!!
You unfilial little brother! Release me! I want to open it! Ye Cang reached out with his foot to
try and open it. Zhang ZhengXiong hurried to block him.

Lin Le sighed and opened the wooden chest. Over ten golden coins, many silver coins, some
jewelry, and a gold bar were quietly lying in the chest shining golden light. Brother LilWhite!
Were rich!!

Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong quickly got up to take a look.

11 gold, 50 silver, 1 gold bar, 1 gold ring, and 1 chrysoberyl (cats eye).

Crude Gold Ring (Common): Can be worn as an accessory.

PS: Although the workmanship is rough, its still made of gold.

Cyan Chrysoberyl: An ordinary chrysoberyl.

Ye Cang quickly put everything away and looked at the sky which had started to change colors.
Go! Back to town! Its almost daytime and this place isnt far from where the people are. Once
its daytime, itll be too dangerous!

The three hurriedly returned using the same route. By the time they reached the edge of town, it
was already dawn; the sun was slowly rising, lighting up their field of view. In all directions
were all kinds of players looking for trouble and exploring. A new day had begun. However, for
Ye Cangs group of three, it was time to take a break. They were forced to leave Conviction due
to hunger.

Brother LilWhite, the morning sun sure is Lin Le stretched and started speaking. Ye Cang
gave him an annoyed look and interrupted: Its already past noon

So we played for so long Lin Le pouted. Im so hungry.

Ye Cang got his phone and prepared to get takeout.

The sound of a key being inserted came from outside and the door slowly opened. A tall, sweet
looking girl with short hair, wearing a colorful flowery dress and high heeled sandals came in. In
her two hands, she was carrying lunch boxes. She seemed very familiar with this place. This
person was exactly Wu Na, however she didnt have her makeup on. She saw the three of them
being speechless. You guys! You should still eat when youre playing games. I just knew you
guys hadnt eaten yet

Nana, youre the best Lin Le took his share and started wolfing down his food as if he was
in a rush. He ate while sobbing: Waaah~! So delicious! This is the most delicious thing Ive
ever eaten! Wuu~
Zhang ZhengXiong was even more frantic. He almost ate the plastic container along with the
food. He sobbed, feeling a bit sad: Mm!

Wu Na broke into cold sweat. She quickly took out her own share and doubtfully sniffed
and tasted it It wasnt good at all. It was just the 50 federal dollars cafeteria takeout, healthy
meat and vegetable set B. Didnt they use to say it was pig feed? She silently handed Ye Cang
his share.

Look at your guys! Ye Cang stubbornly yelled.

Its so delicious! Compared to last night Lin Le trembled, and continued eating.

Wu Na looked at Ye Cang as he took his lunchbox. His hands were slightly trembling and his
throat was gulping saliva.

Wu Na slowly sat down, and looked at the three of them madly eating, having forgotten their
manners. They looked like starving refugees. What exactly happened to them in Really New
Village? She shrugged, split open her chopsticks and quietly ate.

After eating, Lin Le had the habit of taking an afternoon nap, so he went to sleep. Zhang
ZhengXiong went to the loft to work out. Ye Cang went to the balcony and took a deep breath
looking at the city college, like an endless stream.

Wu Na watched Ye Cang, his hair under the sunlight looked silky and shined like gold. It had
already been two years. Looking towards that thin figure, she slowly walked over, and couldnt
help but give him a hug. With regards to their height, Wu Na was 175cm and Ye Cang was only
173cm. Without the high heels, she was still a bit taller, however compared to Zhang
ZhengXiongs sturdy 2m body, she looked petite.

Ye Cang smelled a familiar fragrance, a soft and smooth feeling pressed on his back. His
shoulders were encircled by two fair white arms. Wu Nas voice arrived in his ear: Im already
level 4

I think LilXiong and Lele should already be level 5. Weve also killed the first boss of our
professional careers Ye Cang didnt turn back and faintly smiled.

Pretty awesome huh. Right now, there are very few level 5 players. Speaking of boss, we still
havent seen one Wu Na leaned her head forwards, slowly looked past his shoulder at the
side of his face. His white eyelashes fluttered, and there was warmth in his pink pupils. Maybe
its because of laziness, but as far as others are concerned, Ye Cang was often called: That
Strange White-Haired Guy. However, to Wu Na, he was a very special existence. How about I
be your girlfriend?

Ye Cang was startled, the subject changed too fast. No.

Eh, you answered so fast. Why?

Because youre an unknown singer of a non-mainstream band.

Get lost, are you serious? Wu Na replied with a bit of expectation.

Theres no reason. Ye Cang indifferently shook his head.

That so Wu Na slowly released her arms and lowered her head, on the verge of tears.

Ye Cang turned around and saw her, his heart feeling somewhat unwell.

Just messing with you!! Wu Na suddenly raised her head and made a silly face. Theres no
way Id go out with someone who doesnt even have an IQ of 80!!

Ye Cang looked suspiciously at her.

Im going home, talk to you in the game! Dont forget to tell me when you reach level 10!! Wu
Na spoke and left the apartment.

I really dont understand that silly girl. Ye Cang shrugged, with his hands clasped behind his
back. He turned back around to look at the scenery and murmured: Why huh.

He quietly chuckled and turned to go inside.

Wu Na dejectedly arrived at home and feebly fell on her bed. She stared at her chandelier and
wiped the tears that had not yet dried from her eyes. Stupid Ye Cang

TN: Wu Na T.T Im rooting for you. Good luck!

Chapter 11: Mayor Mar
Ye Cang looked at the time and turned on the tv. Lele wake up! Itll be 3 oclock soon, Sisters
is going to start.

Recently, there have been multiple cases of human organ theft in LinHai citys western district.
The city guards and LinHai citys general office are already investigating the case (News)

Western district? Nothing to do with me Ye Cang played with his eyebrows and murmured.
He shrugged and changed the channel. Lin Le peacefully awoke: Is it starting?

Just in time. Ye Cang replied.

Last episode, ASuo discovered that her boyfriend AXiong was having an affair with her older
sister ADuo. What will she do!? Will she scar ADuos face with her bare hands, will she use
sulphuric acid, or will she be unable to take it and choose suicide? Maybe her womanly fury will
drive her to crush her boyfriend AXiongs balls. Watch to find out.

This episode will definitely be brilliant Lin Le murmured with expectation.

Ye Cang slowly nodded.

The three of them had returned to Conviction. Like a nouveau riche, they walked up and down
the towns market to see if they could find anything good. There were all kinds of shouts, most
of them selling shoddy white weapons or some random shoddy equipment. The three of them
used 2 silver to purchase some leather armor that they were still missing. A bit more defence was
better than nothing.

Bro, theres nothing good to buy. Zhang ZhengXiong was a bit tired.

Mm, lets go back to leveling up. Right now, most players are staying around the outside of the
forest. We can go a bit deeper in and see Ye Cang said, with his hands clasped behind his back.

Brother LilWhite! Brother LilXiong! Someone here is selling a shield!! Lin Le voice came
from nearby. The two raised their eyebrows. Shield! They quickly rushed to see it.

Ye Cang looked at the man selling the shield. He was carrying an iron dagger and there was
nothing special about him. The shield he was selling was a small round shield, the middle had a
cross shaped decoration.

Trainee Priests Small Round Shield (Class Equipment - Fine)

Category: Shield
Class Restriction: Priest, Paladin.

Requirements: 7 Wisdom, 5 Constitution.

Defence +3

Wisdom +1

Minor Healing Light: Once used, immediately heal a target for 6 health. Cooldown 10 minutes.

How much? Ye Cang saw that the stats were pretty good, and seeing that Zhang ZhengXiong
was a Priest that that looked more like a Barbarian, got straight to the point.

I need 20 silver. The man calmly said.

Ye Cang thought a bit, and without bargaining handed over 20 silver. Completing the
transaction, he looked at the man and said: If you get anything good in the future, contact me.
He sent a request to exchange contact information over. The man hesitated a bit then accepted
the request. He didnt say much before leaving.

SpyingBlade? Such a weird name Ye Cang saw the ID that appeared and thought to himself.
He then handed the shield over to Zhang ZhengXiong who equipped it onto his back.

*! Those grandkids sure are rich, taking out so much silver! I have never even seen a single
f**king silver.

Handsome! Seeking *! You can inspect the goods!!

Brand new dragon slaying treasured sword, just 1 silver! Try holding it! I beg of you!!

Ye Cang repeatedly broke into cold sweat as they escaped the little villages market.

Lele show me that knockoff something alchemy skill Ye Cang recalled Leles hidden class
skill.

Knockoff Alchemy (Arms Dealer - Beginner Level): The dark side of alchemy.

There were only two recipes: vial of inferior acid and knockoff small health potion.

Vial of Inferior Acid: Throw at the target to cause 10 acid damage and will deal some damage
over time.

Knockoff Small Health Potion: Heal 15 health over 5 seconds. For a short time, cant consume
another one. Drug Resistance: 10 minutes.
Ye Cong looked at the required materials. They could currently make the vial of inferior acid. It
required slime acid which they had a lot of, empty bottles which was easy to get, and salt which
they also had a lot of. As for the knockoff small health potions Blood Restoring Grass, they
should be able to find some in the forest. The three of them arrived at Ricas general store to buy
more empty bottles. Lin Le put the ingredients into a bottle and shook it like he was making a
cocktail. In just a while, 10 bottles of inferior acid were produced. Ye Cang took 4 of them,
Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le took 3 each.

Oh right. I heard from Jesse that you killed a werewolf. If you have something to use as proof,
you can go to mayor Mars place and claim the bounty Rica hadnt even finished speaking,
and the stores bell gave a clear ring. Rica gave a bitter laugh. Those three guys.

The three of them unrelentingly charged their way to the mayors office. A guard stopped them
at the door. What business do you have here?

We killed a werewolf in the northern forest. Were here for the bounty. Ye Cangs words
astonished the guards. With just the three of them? They sent someone in the check while the rest
of them waited. The guard that returned nodded his head and let them through. Mayor Mar is in
the room on the right.

The three of them entered the hall and arrived at the mayors office. A very spirited old man was
sitting behind a desk full of documents looking at them. Welcome, three brave warriors

Here is his head, and his skin, and some of his ribs, and his heart Ye Cang one by one, took
out the materials he collected from the black werewolf Vyers. For the sake of the reward, they
even roughly pieced the pieces together, trying to return them to their original state.

Mar immediately covered his mouth, and vomited. These three were too disgusting. Seeing the
wolf head, it was indeed Vyers! Stop arranging it! Enough, Enough! Weve already verified it!

This I have OCD Zhang ZhengXiong said embarrassed as he finished arranging the final
piece.

Mar was speechless. He kept a straight face and said: Youve proven your strength, here is
your promised reward.

Congratulations, youve completed a hidden quest Proof of Strength. Fame in Really New
Village has become respected. Obtained title - Really New Village Lieutenant, 300 experience, 3
gold. After reaching level 5, the required experience substantially increased. 300 experience
only increased the progress bar by about 20%.

From now on, youre a member of Really New Villages guard squadron. Although the black
werewolves are a threat enshrouding Really New Village, the most pressing matter is to root out
the south east Riley Rivers blue scaled fishmen tribe. If they were to collude with the black
werewolves I dont even want to image. I hope you can bring me their chief, Gil Rages, head.
Are you willing? Mar said in a heavy tone.
Just us three? Zhang ZhengXiong frowned. Ye Cang clasped his hands behind his back,
waiting for a reply.

Youre now lieutenants. You can gather any volunteers. We cant spare any of the garrisoned
guards. Youll have to depend on yourselves to find people. However, dont bring too many,
otherwise youll alert the enemy. Mar walked forwards, grabbing the three of them and
whispered: Last time, Gil Rage stole from me a night-luminescent pearl. I promised to gift it to
my houses madam.

This old man already hasnt slept in a bed for half a month. If this continues, I dont think I can
make it. Old Mar lifted his sleeve revealing a few scars. He then patted their shoulders and said:
Also, dont let anyone know. Got it? I dont care about the rest, just kill that blue scaled son of a
b***h and bring back the night-luminescent pearl. There will be a big reward.

Ye Cang broke into cold sweat and repeatedly nodded his head. Zhang ZhengXiong looked
suspiciously at Mar, he said so much just to use his office for personal matters and doesnt want
others to know. A fishman and a wolfman, theres no way theyll get along..

Congratulations, youve received a field instance quest Slay the Blue-Scaled Fishman Chief -
Gil Rage and hidden story quest Retrieve Mars Madams Night-Luminescent Pearl. Instance
allows a maximum of 8 people.
Chapter 12: The Elegant Arrow
Alright, remember to bring it to me as early as possible. You can go now. Mar said then sat
down and continued sorting through documents.

The three of them walked out into the hall and noticed that the guards attitudes had changed 180
degrees, from the grumpy faces when they entered into the smiling nod now that theyre leaving.
They felt that their backs were straighter.

Bro, Lele, we can now walk proudly in Really New Village Zhang ZhengXiong said quietly.

Ye Cang faintly smiled. Lets go upgrade ourselves a bit, and we can also see if theres any
reliable people. Prepare carefully for this quest.

The three of them followed the road and arrived at the south-east. They decided to first become
familiar with the topography. They passed most of the players hunting near the outskirts and
went deep into the forest. The paths were complicated and winding, the bushes were thick and
seemed exceptionally dangerous.

While out exploring, the feral wolves and boars were of no threat to them. With a machete in one
hand and a shield in the other, Zhang ZhengXiong seemed especially strong and valiant. After
battle, they would use the shields ability to heal a little bit. As much as possible, they wanted to
avoid eating the green slime and feral wolf stew. Ye Cang found many medical grasses, edible
plants, and even many blood restoring grasses. Most of the blood restoring grass was found
hidden under various shrubs, however there might also be dangerous beasts hiding there such as
pythons.

Zhang ZhengXiong parted the shrubs, his shield held in front of him. Once it was safe, Ye Cang
harvested the blood restoring grasses as well as some wild fruit.

Brother LilWhite, Brother Xiong, theres someone fighting a boss like creature over there. Lin
Le jogged back from nearby.

Lets go have a look. Ye Cang slowly set forth. The three of them went to the top of the hill
that Lin Le was pointing at and looked down the slope. They saw an area surrounded by shrubs
and rocks forming a wall. 4 female players surrounded and were beating up a 3 meter tall white
pheasant. It was swinging its sharp claws and its beak was penetrating small holes in the
ground. Leading the fight was a short haired woman. She was tall and slender with long arms
and legs like a model. In one hand was a longsword that wasnt much different than the one Ye
Cang had, in the other was a wooden round shield. Among the other three, the short one was an
assassin. A few magic missiles came from shooting from the hands of a girl with long blonde
hair, who was standing a bit further away. The giant pheasant was continuously hit in the head.
Why say there was 4? On the ground was a badly damaged body that wasnt even in one piece
anymore.

Bro, theyre so strong They already have magic. Zhang ZhengXiong assessed.
Ye Cang could only agree. They were all experts. If the three of them were to encounter them,
they could probably win by relying on their equipment and the acid vials, however there was a
difference in experience. After all, they all appeared to be old hands at virtual reality games. As
for that butt Mm~, not bad.

Lets go help them, and we could recruit them for our quest. We could even exchange numbers
and stuff. Then, under my solid chest

Slap~! Ye Cang slapped Zhang ZhengXiong on the back of the head and indifferently said:
Youre thinking too much, but we can try to make friends with them. Also, I want the short
haired one in the middle.

Zhang ZhengXiong was speechless. Lin Le saw that they could make new friends and was
excited. Then what should we do now? Kill our way down?

Ye Cang picked at his eyebrows and thought for a moment.

We need to make a dramatic entrance to get the attention of those girls. Lets give them a little
surprise. Later, Ill shoot an arrow at the bosss eyes so they can see one of my elegant ten
thousand arrows, eye burster. At this time, the girls will surely look towards us. The sun is in
perfect position, such that our backs are to the sun. Itll make us look more mysterious, like
heroes. Our impression will definitely rise. Then AXiong will take the lead to tank the boss and
use his shield to heal the short haired girl. Lele, be energetic and give the boss a big hit Ye
Cang started planning his script. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le listened and silently nodded
their heads.

Sister Rose! The bosss life should be low! The long haired girl said to the short haired one.
She took her staff and carefully hit the boss instead of shooting magic missiles. The bosss
reaction was a bit slower than usual.

Dont get careless! Were almost at our limits too. We dont have enough health to make even a
single mistake! The one being called sister Rose was indeed the leader of Thorns and Roses -
Miss Rose - ThornyRose. The assassin player beside the boss, freely and unceasingly attacking,
was the famous Night Empress - FrozenBlood. Mm!

Furthermore, the long, blonde haired girl was a core member that the guild was nurturing -
GreenDew.

Ye Cang and the three had just arrived behind the shrubs.

Ok, follow my plan Ye Cang said. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le nodded with a very
serious expression.

Ye Cang parted the bush. Grabbed an arrow. Placed it on his bow. Pulled the string taut.
Concentrated. Aimed.
Bro, can you let me have the short haired one. Her butt is just too irresistible Zhang
ZhengXiong words made Ye Cang unable to stop himself from lowering his gaze to watch the
swaying butt. Lin Le saw that his arrow slowly lowered too. He tapped on Ye Cangs shoulder
and reminded him: Brother LilWhite! Your aim

Because of Lin Les words and the tap on his shoulder, Ye Cang absent-mindedly loosened his
fingers. Shoo~ The arrow left the bowstring and accurately stabbed into ThornyRoses butt. In
fact, it was a bullseye, right in the middle.

is off. Lin Le finished muttering, his hand frozen on the spot.

Ye Cang, Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le immediately froze.

ThornyRose felt a sharp pain in her back door. The system reminded her that she was attacked by
a player. She immediately turned to looked at where the arrow had struck and froze. Her heart
felt heavy as many thoughts crossed her mind. Most of them about how her face had been
tarnished. To be humiliated in this way, rage started to overflow. F**k! Who was it! Ill kill
him! Ill definitely kill him! She furiously looked up and saw three different looking silhouettes,
but due to the sunlight, she couldnt see what they looked like. You!!

Sister Rose, careful!! GreenDew yelled.

ThornyRose, who had lost all rationality, couldnt react in time. The bosss beak accurately
struck her head causing her health reached 0 and she died, her eyes still overflowing with fury,
hatred, and unwillingness. The arrow sticking out of her butt seemed extremely dazzling.

FrozenBlood saw ThornyRoses tragic death and yelled: Leader!! At this time, while she was
distracted, the pheasant boss swept out with its foot and stepped, turning her into a corpse. Her
eyes were full of unwillingness.

As for the only remaining person, the gentle looking magician GreenDew, her heart sank as she
saw the angry pheasant boss looking at her. She hurried to turn and run away, gnashing her teeth
as she looked at the three on the hill, her eyes filled with coldness. Scumbags! Well get you
back!!

That Bro. If they revive and we explain ourselves, do you think theyll forgive us and still
exchange contacts? Zhang ZhengXiong murmured, looking at the magician that got crushed by
the boss.

Eh Ye Cang looked startled at his fingers, that had just caused a chain of deaths. He then
turned to Lin Le, unwilling to take responsibility. Lele! Its all your fault! You surprised me!

Lin Le pouted, feeling wronged. I just wanted to remind you

Chapter 13: The Resentful Rose
Go! Save her! Ye Cang prepared an arrow and shot the boss. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le
leaped down the hill.

Unfortunately, GreenDew still couldnt escape the bosses pursuit. The boss stepped on her to
restrain her and murdered her with its beak. As she fell fell bleeding, she raised her finger little
by little towards the three and said vaguely: Ill f**king you. Her hand went limp and fell
as she died sorrowfully.

Hah~ We still couldnt save her Ye Cang sighed.

This boss is too hateful. We must definitely take revenge for them!! Lin Le firmly held his axe
as he righteously roared.

Zhang ZhengXiong borrowed the force from sliding down the hill to leap over, his machete
ferociously chopping down on the monsters neck. As he landed, he positioned his shield and
deflected the incoming peck. Lin Le ducked and avoided the already tired claws, his large axe
chopping down on the monsters waist. Ye Cang shot an arrow at its eyes. It let out a bird shriek
as the three of them finished it off in no time at all.

Congratulations, youve succeeded in slaying Monstrous Bird. Received 300 experience.

The three were just a little bit away from reaching level 6.

Lin Le looted the boss. Ye Cang slid down the hill and asked: What did we get?

A skill book and a wand! Lele held a book in one hand and a wooden wand in the other. The
wand had some feathers decorating the end.

Crossed-Eyes (Rare - Skill): To use, cross your eyes and look at the target to confuse them for a
period of time. Receiving damage will end the effect. Must lock eyes for at least 1 second to take
effect. No resource cost. Cooldown: 5 minutes.

Monstrous Birds Wooden Wand (Fine)

Category: Wand

Requirements: 10 Intelligence

Attack: 2 - 4

+1 Intelligence

+2 to Spell Power
Minor Wind Blade: Release a minor wind blade to attack a target, dealing 15 damage.
Cooldown: 5 minutes.

Wow, a good wand. And theres even a rare skill book Zhang ZhengXiong praised.

Lets give the skill book to Lele. As for the wand, currently only I can wield it. Depending on
the situation, I can use it Ye Cang gave the book to Lele and stuck the wand by his waist on
the right. He then took out his longsword to dismantle. He received: Monstrous Bird Meat,
Monstrous Birds Claw, Monstrous Birds Feathers, and Monstrous Birds Beak.

Lin Le used the skill book, then turned to look at the bodies of the girls which were turning into
white light. He started praying: Rest in peace, your enmity has been avenged

Bro, I think we should hurry and escape. Zhang ZhengXiong said, feeling a bit guilty. If they
come now, they probably wont understand our explanation. I feel we should give them some
time to calm down. Time can heal all wounds. If we meet again and explain properly, maybe we
can still get their contact information and be friends and whatnot. After all, we were trying to
help, even though there was a little accident.

Ye Cang raised his head and pondered. After not even a second, he agreed and said: Good plan!
Retreat!

The three of them hurriedly withdrew from that location.

On the other side, in Really New Village, there were three extremely gloomy woman outside the
farms. ThornyRoses peerlessly handsome oval face had a hideous gloomy expression. The veins
on her forehead looked like they would burst. She gnashed her teeth and said sternly: I
definitely wont forgive those three bastards.

GreenDew, did you see what they looked like? FrozenBloods eyes burned with fury from
having the boss stolen. Even her leader died such a miserable death having her behind pierced.
No matter what, this enmity must be avenged! Her eyes became cold.

Not very clearly, however there was a white haired one. It was a bit far, but the one who shot
the bow should be a knight. Before the boss killed me, I saw a big man who should be a fighter.
He had a blade in one hand and a shield in the other. There was also a short guy holding a two-
handed axe. He should also be a fighter. Should we inform those near Really New Village?
GreenDew didnt see clearly but had some impression.

ThornyRose took a deep breath and saw her level was now 5 with 0%. She said in a low voice:
Tell everyone in Really New Village, if anyone discovers them, immediately tell me. I will
personally take revenge! Especially that white haired knight with the bow!! Lets go! Hurry and
level. This time we have to be ahead of the b***hes at Fire Beacon Beauties.
Mm. FrozenBlood nodded. Fire Beacon Beauties was also a famous guild in China. They were
old rivals of Thorns and Roses, enemies for life. Fire Beacon Beauties chief BornFlirty and
ThornyRose were completely incompatible.

Speaking of Chinas guilds, the biggest 4 guilds were: Flame Dragon Union, Mad War, Misty
Rain House, and Freedom Alliance. They were each managed by a famous family.

Back in the forest, Ye Cangs group of 3 continued to explore and harvest ingredients. They
came across a small, inactive volcano - The Bachiya Lava Hole. There, they found even more
dangerous creatures. The one that gave them the biggest surprise was unexpectedly a slime.

Red Slime: Slimes that can shoot flames. Often found in blistering hot places.

Bro, it seems our feud with the slime family is as deep as the ocean Zhang ZhengXiong
muttered, looking at the red pimple on the black earth.

First, lets see if this thing is strong or not! Ye Cang using a tree as cover. He leaned out,
readied his bow and shot the slimes eye. It let out a strange scream and charged towards the
three. Its body faintly glowed red as it spat out a fireball towards Ye Cangs location.

Ye Cang quickly hid and let it hit the tree. He signaled Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le to start.
The red slime looked at the two people who jumped out, and spat another fireball at Zhang
ZhengXiong. He blocked with his shield, although he still took damage, it was only around 10 or
so. The machete cut into the soft, steaming body and some hot, red fluid spurted out burning his
hand. The three of them were now in melee range. Ye Cang took out his wand and cast a wind
blade that quickly killed the slime.

Bro! This thing can be considered easy to kill. The experience is pretty good too. Zhang
ZhengXiong looked at his health and saw he only lost 18 points. He used his shield to heal 6
health.

Mm, its much easier to kill than the pythons Ye Cang nodded. The pythons that hid in the
shrubbery had high health, killing them was strenuous, and it didnt give much experience. After
the slime died, they received Red Slime Gel, Red Slime Oil, and Red Slime Eyes. The three
continued and killed about 10 slimes.

Ye Cang slowly took out his iron pot and sighed. We should heal

Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le nodded, feeling numb. Bro, didnt we get some bird meat
recently? Lets temporarily not eat slimes. Lets eat something good. Look at that bird, its so fat,
its gotta be pretty good

Lin Le nodded continuously. Exactly! Exactly!

But we still have a ton of green slime and feral wolf stew. Its such a waste. Oh well Ye
Cang hesitated for a bit before throwing the bird meat into the pot. He thought for a bit and and
decided it was too simple so added some python meat, salt, pepper, chili, and some wild herbs
they picked. He discovered that his bag was getting empty.
Chapter 14: Red Furred Flaming Dog
Congratulations on discovering a new recipe, please give it a name.

Monstrous Bird and Python Stew.

Monstrous Bird and Python Stew: While eating, heal 3 health every 5 seconds. Additionally gain
+1 Strength and +1 Dexterity for 2 hours. (This is actually a pretty good dish)

A normal stew smell slowly flowed out of the pot. Even though it smelled ordinary, Zhang
ZhengXiong and Lin Le were extremely happy. This is what humans should eat!

However, the monstrous bird meat will only last us a few meals Ye Cang said with pity.
Theyve tried many different recipes. Feral wolves with feral boar was only a bit better than
green slime and feral wolf. The fishy flavor made people sick. However, even if it only tastes a
bit better, its healing effect was much better not to mention the bonus stats.

Zhang Zheng Xiong and Lin Le regretfully nodded and added the monstrous bird to their must
kill on sight list.

Lets eat. Heal up and reach level 6 as soon as possible Ye Cang indifferently said. He took
out a bowl and started eating.

On the other side of the forest, the girls that killed their way back to the monstrous bird saw a
messed up corpse. Thorny rose said with surprised: Looks like one of those bastards has a
gathering skill.

Currently, whether its by luck or through a rare hidden quest, obtaining a profession was as rare
as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. In all of Thorns and Roses, only one person was lucky
enough to complete a quest and receive tailoring, becoming one of the important members the
guild would nurture.

They probably went this way. FrozenBlood was scouting the surroundings. Under a tree in a
relatively hidden place, she discovered a mark. They were speechless. This method was a too
primitive. Didnt those three know that the map had this functionality?

Lets go. Track them. Skinning them alive wont be enough. ThornyRose continued to grip her
longsword tightly and gnashed her teeth.

The scene returns to Ye Cangs group of three farming red slimes.

Ye Cang saw that on his contacts list, SpyingBlade was still online. After thinking a while, he
sent him a message.

You there?
?

Were doing a hidden story quest and need people. Were offering you a spot. Want to come?

Now?

Leveling up first.

Contact me again at that time.

Such a cold guy. Ye Cang couldnt help but smile and murmur: Weve got one person for the
quest.

Who? Zhang ZhengXiong asked curiously.

The guy that sold us your shield. Ye Cang replied.

Zhang ZhengXiong thought; if he could get such a good shield so early he must be an expert and
nodded.

The three sat on a slightly hot rock, restoring their health. They were already mid-way up the
inactive volcano. The volcanic rocks here had a dark color. This small inactive volcano wasnt
very tall, only tens of meters. Lin Le was looking at the black rocks and saw that not far away,
there was a cave. Unable to hold back his curiosity, he asked: Brother LilWhite, Im gonna go
in and have a look

Ye Cang thought that at worst, it would be a gathering place for red slimes. Lure out two while
youre there.

Lin Le nodded and entered the cave. Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong saw that they had healed
enough and were about to stand up when they heard Lin Les shrill shout. Brother LilWhite!
Brother LilXiong! Big dog! A really big dog! Save me!

In the pitch black cave, Lin Les silhouette appeared, looking like he was in a hurry. The thing
that rushed out after him had Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong so surprised their mouth hung
open and their scalps tingling. An enormous dog squeezed out of the cave. It was 3 meters tall
even on all fours, with crimson eyes and sinister teeth. On its face were two bleeding axe scars.
From its neck to its ankles to the tip of its tail, it was covered in blood red fur. Its body that
looked like it was ready to pounce, was 5 meters long. It let out a mighty Roar~!!

Red Furred Flaming Dog - Kivis (Rare - Elite): A rare creature that lives in small volcanos.

Lin Le abruptly rolled, dodging a pounce.

The two froze. What has Lin Le done?

Bro, escape or fight? Zhang ZhengXiong looked at the creature and raised an eyebrow.

Engage! Ye Cang immediately entered a focussed state of mind, and used rapid shot to
immediately shoot an arrow. The arrow was shot towards one of the eyes of the hound that was
staring at Lele, but with a sweep of its tail, the arrow was swatted away. It reached out with its
solid and sharp claws, slashing towards Zhang ZhengXiong. Zhang ZhengXiong jumped like a
high jumper, vaulting over it, his waist barely brushing past the claw. When he landed, his
machete slashed at the creatures nose, causing it to yelp out in pain.

Lin Le took this opportunity to deliver an upwards chop towards its chin. Ye Cang hurriedly
shot another arrow, and then took out his wand releasing a wind blade, both aimed at the
creatures head. All of this happened in a split second, causing it heavy injuries and infuriating it.

Roar~! The enormous body shook, and its tail whipped towards Zhang ZhengXiong, leaving a
shadow. Zhang ZhengXiong, hit by the tail, fell to the ground. Even though he had managed to
block with the shield, and he had added most of his points to Constitution, he still lost a third of
his health. Seeing the dog turn its head to bite, he activated his fluorescent ring. White light shot
out followed by a hateful roar. The huge dog raised its head, having lost its vision. After
roaring, Ye Cang noticed its mouth starting to emit fire. Not good! He shouted: Get way! Its
going to breath fire!!

Zhang ZhengXiong performed an unsightly roll to hastily get up and escape.

Lele, prepare to hide behind the nearest rock or pillar!! Ye Cang reminded as he arrived at a
meter tall rock.

Mm! Lin Le saw a tall stalagmite made of volcanic rock nearby.

The huge dog spat out countless washbin sized fireballs. Ye Cang saw one flying towards his
direction and hurriedly hid behind the rock. The fireball exploded on the rock, leaving behind a
pile of rubble.

ThornyRoses group of three, who were not far from the volcano, heard the roar of a large dog
like creature, and saw fireballs flying.

That way! On the volcano! ThornyRose stepped on the scorched earth path and lead the way.

Bro! This things so *! If we get hit by a fireball, were dead for sure. Zhang ZhengXiong
yelled with a bitter smile. Also, its about to get its sight back.

While it was blind, Ye Cangs ranged attacks caused it many injuries. Now having heard that its
sight was recovering, he sped up his attacks. The huge dog randomly swung its claws around
blocking many arrows. In a flash, he realised that the dog was looking at him. It had already
recovered its sight! He started to escape when out of the corner of his eye, he saw the huge dog
turn its attention to Lin Le and recklessly pounced.
 Ye Cang stopped, a bit embarrassed. He thought: What did that kid do? It still wont attack
me.

Lin Le was so scared he almost peed himself. He rolled away from behind the long and thin
stalagmite before it broke from the huge dogs attack. It turned to look at Lin Le on the ground
and opened its mouth wide to bite at him.

Lin Le hurriedly used his axe to block the dogs mouth. The huge dog Kivis used its powerful
strength to steadily force its fierce teeth towards Lin Les throat. Lin Le felt more and more heat
coming from the dogs mouth as it approached. He could vaguely see a spark. Its going to
breath fire!!
Chapter 15: Temporary Truce
Ye Cang readied his bow and shot three arrows, two of which were swept away by the tail.
Zhang ZhengXiong also hurried over.

Lin Le looked at those horrible, furious eyes. His own eyes started to move to look at the bridge
of his nose. The huge dogs eyes also started to cross against its will. It wanted to look away and
resist in confusion but no matter what it tried, its eyes wouldnt obey.

In the end, both man and dog were staring cross-eyed at each other. The huge dog was confused
and let its mouth hang open, but the fire in its mouth also calmed down. It could only stay in
place dazed.

Lin Le let out the breath he was holding. He hurried to roll away from under the dog and ran
towards Zhang ZhengXiong, rubbing his eyes to return them to normal.

Everyone take out your acid flasks! Ye Cang knew the effects of this skill. The moment it
received an attack, it would regain control. They have to take this opportunity to finish it off!

Three people took out their acid flasks.

Throw! Ye Cang shouted.

The acid flasks were thrown out. Ye Cang chose to throw his at the creatures head. The sound of
flasks breaking was heard. The acid on its head started leaking towards its eyes. The huge dog
let out a loud whine, its whole body emitting green smoke, and rolled around on the ground.

Nows our chance! Finish it off! Ye Cang took the lead and charged over. He jumped and
stabbed downwards with his longsword at the dogs heart. Zhang ZhengXiong saw the huge dog
was trying to stand up using its hind legs. While he still had the chance, he chopped down hard
on its nose, causing a whine to echo out.

Lin Le was just a step behind Zhang ZhengXiong. He swung his two-handed axe at the
struggling huge dog, attempting to behead it. The huge dog opened its mouth, blood sprayed out
onto the ground, and it slowly fell over.

Congratulations, youve slain Red Furred Flaming Dog - Kivis. Received 350 experience.

The three of them reached level 6 at the same time. They looked at the dead Kivis and let out the
breath they were holding. Ye Cang raised his eyebrows as he noticed there was the sound of
someone making their way over. He readied his bow. Lele, hurry and loot the corpse.
Someones coming!

Zhang ZhengXiong held his machete in front of him and quickly healed himself for 6 health with
his round shield. He had a bad expression as he watched the path.
Lin Le quickly looted the corpse and stored it away. Brother LilWhite, we got a sword and a
chest armor.

Ye Cang remained silent and nodded. Lin Le also prepared for battle.

Three wonderful silhouettes appeared on the mountain path. Ye Cang awkwardly touched his
nose. Zhang ZhengXiong raised his shield to, as much as possible, cover his current
embarrassing state. Lin Le played with his eyebrows as he focused on the 3 woman approaching
and said gloomily: They look really familiar, where have we met them

ThornyRose looked at the bow. Currently, knights who possessed a bow could be counted on
one-hand, Really New Village wont have more than 3 people. Looking at them playing dumb,
she gnashed her teeth even harder. She slowly took out her longsword.

Ye Cang said without moving his mouth. Pretend not to recognize them

Before he even finished speaking, Lin Le loudly said: Brother LilWhite, those three women
look so familiar! Are they the ones we accidently

Zhang ZhengXiong immediately covered Lin Les mouth.

Ye Cang chest became heavy, this damn Lele

So it was in fact you three ThornyRose looked at the three and said through clenched teeth.

Zhang ZhengXiong quickly tried to smile and mediate. Cough~ Cough~ Back then, it was an
accident. We planned to help you, but we messed up a bit. In summary this is what happened.
When we saw you three fighting a boss, we really admired you. We wanted to give you a hand
and maybe exchange contacts and such. My bro readied his bow, aiming towards the moon, his
sharp arrow drawing a crescent, flying into the distance, as imposing as Sirius. And myself, with
the strength of a tiger

Cough~ Cough~ In short, it was an accident. Ye Cang saw the three womens faces becoming
more and more green and hurriedly cut it short with a hollow laugh.

ThornyRose, hearing their words, felt like they were bullying her. Her anger turned into a smile!
The smile continued to become colder as she looked towards Ye Cang and said coldly: Then
your meaning?

FrozenBlood saw the corpse of a huge beast nearby and didnt dare to be reckless. If they really
ended up fighting, she wasnt sure they could win. That big man would not be easy to deal with.
Currently, when there were not many skills, battles mostly relied on their response times. That
bastard was strong.

Ye Cang saw their three faces becoming increasingly ash colored and knew they didnt believe
them. He took out the wand and said: Correct. My brothers words are all true. We had good
intentions and wanted to help you and invite you to join us on a hidden story quest. But then that
little accident happened Of course, were the ones who were wrong. Well return the
equipment that the boss dropped.

What do you think?

GreenDew almost lost her voice and exclaimed: Hidden story quest!?

ThornyRose remained silent, her expression very complicated. On one hand she wanted to rush
over and tear apart that knight who pierced her behind and caused her to die. On the other hand,
a * hidden story quest was offered to her. Hidden story quests were the hidden quests that a new
player wanted the most, but could only get depending on their fate. The rewards would be
considerable at the early levels. She thought it over with her arms crossed, her slender finger
tapping on her arm. The veins on her forehead continued to throb as she closely stared at Ye
Cangs indifferent silver eyes. She couldnt help but recall what happened back at the monstrous
bird. She resisted the urge to charge over and tear him apart and took a deep breath. Youre
telling the truth? The hidden story quest

FrozenBlood saw ThornyRose was planning to cooperate and didnt say anything. Not to
mention they may not even be able to defeat them, also there were benefits to be had. They also
understood what happened. It turned out they were just failing at picking up girls and shot
themselves in the foot. Furthermore, she didnt know whether to laugh or cry that their first
deaths in Conviction happened like this.

Of course! Ye Cang smiled calmly. He showed them the silver mark that represented a hidden
story quest. He slowly walked over and handed her the wand.

Although they didnt know the contents, but it really was the mark of a hidden story quest.
ThornyRose resisted the urge to slap him and cut his hand off, received the wand from Ye Cang
and added each other to their contacts list.

ThornyRose? Ye Cang said with a smile. ThornyRose? A Rose with thorns eh? Such a flashy
name.

PaleSnow ThornyRose saw his ID. It turns out this lowlifes name was so poetic. A pale
mountain bearing snow1.

Now that everyone has shook hands and made up, from now on were good friends. Let us also
exchange contacts Before Zhang ZhengXiong even finished speaking, he was stared down by
cold glares from the 3 girls. He awkwardly rubbed his nose and introduced them. Im called
HeavenShakingMight. This is HappyAndCheerful.

You can call me Lele. Lin Le gave a sincere, childlike smile.

FrozenBlood. FrozenBlood expressionlessly said.

GreenDew. GreenDew sighed.

After the brief and awkward introductions, ThornyRose got straight to the point and inquired:
How many people can we bring?

8 people Ye Cang said as he went towards Kivis body and took out his longsword. He got:
Red Furred Flaming Dogs Fur, Meat, Bones, Heart, Claws, Fang and something else. Ye Cang
was surprised that he got something the other creatures didnt drop: A Small Flame Crystal.

Small Flame Crystal: A fire attribute magic crystal. Many Uses. Can be used in cooking after
grinding it into powder.

Then were still missing two. We should bring ThornyRose crossed her arms and watched
Ye Cang quickly dismantling the boss corpse. It turned out he had a gathering skill, and not an
ordinary one.

Ye Cang turned and interrupted her. We already have 7. Theres someone who is not with us
now. As for the last spot, I already promised Lele that wed let him go to town and pick a little
brother so he can feel more mighty. Sorry

Brother LilWhite, youre the best! Lin Le was abnormally happy.

The three girls were speechless. ThornyRose looked at Lin Les foolish appearance and had
some misgivings in her heart regarding the final spot. She asked, trying to dispel her doubt:
Who is the other person?

A guy called SpyingBlade. Ye Cang said, sheathing his longsword.

Its him FrozenBlood said a bit surprised.

ThornyRose nodded and didnt continue speaking. It turned out it was that guy. Treasure hunter -
SpyingBlade. He was actually also at Really New Village.

1: Name of a Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjoocLksBYI

Chapter 16: Group Dinner
The red slimes here are pretty good to train on. That boss you just killed, what did it drop?
ThornyRose curiously asked the three who were discussing how to divide the loot.

Oh~! We got Lin Le quickly took out the longsword faintly emitting a red glow and a red
colored light armor, he was about to announce the stats. Ye Cang slapped him on the back of the
head. Youre too talkative! Having said that, he glared at him.

Lin Le covered where he was slapped and pouted. Brother LilWhite, that hurts.

The three women were speechless. How old was this Lin Le really? He was like a little kid.

Ye Cang checked the items stats.

Flaming Dogs Fang (Excellent)

Category: One Handed Sword

Requirements: 7 Strength, 6 Dexterity

Additional Fire Damage: 1 - 3

+1 Strength

+1 Dexterity

Category: Light Armor

Requirements: 12 Constitution

+3 Defence

+2 Constitution

+5 Fire Resistance

Flaming Dogs Guard: Upon activation, gain a barrier that blocks 30 fire damage for 30 seconds.
Cooldown: 15 minutes.
Ye Cang saw the stats and secretly praised. He took the longsword and hung it on his waist to the
left. This would be his main hand weapon. His original common sword was moved to the other
side to use as an offhand when required. The armor was given to Zhang ZhengXiong to equip.
Once Zhang ZhengXiong put on the chest guard, he looked much taller and his back much
straighter.

ThornyRose saw the longsword emitting a thread of red light. It was an magic weapon, so it must
be at least excellent quality. Her own weapon was a fine quality longsword and was considered
pretty good. Her shield was also fine quality. She looked at the longsword and felt sorry for it, it
ended up in the hands of a jack-of-all-trades knight.

You already have a ranged weapon, how about lending me that sword? Ill return it after the
hidden story quest ThornyRose couldnt help but ask.

Ye Cang thought it over. It could be considered repayment for that time with the monstrous bird.
He took off the Flaming Dogs Fang and handed it over. Here!

I can lend you the chest guard too. We can even exchange Zhang ZhengXiong quickly took
off the armor. He saw how happy ThornyRose was after receiving the longsword, she even lent
her own sword to Ye Cang. However she unhappily looked at Zhang ZhengXiong and said: Get
lost!

Zhang ZhengXiong rubbed his nose and put his armor back on.

ThornyRose brought FrozenBlood and GreenDew to join Ye Cangs party. She saw their health
were all pretty low and said: Lets sit and heal for a bit.

AXiong, make a fire Ye Cang faintly smiled and took out his iron pot. He handed over the
materials required to make a fire from his backpack.

Zhang ZhengXiong rapidly started the fire. Ye Cang took the iron pot and, in front of the
doubtful gazes of the girls, thought about trying a new recipe. He threw in some Red Slime Gel,
Red Slimes Eyes, Feral Wolfs Bones, some seasoning, and mixed it all in with a spoon. Red
bubbles gurgled, as the smell slowly spread.

Cooking skill? Ye Cang gave ThornyRose and the girls another surprise. It turns out he has
more than just a gathering skill.

Congratulations on creating a new recipe. Please give it a name.

Red Slime and Feral Wolf Stew.

Red Slime and Feral Wolf Stew: While eating, heal 2 health every 5 seconds. Furthermore, gain
1 strength, 1 dexterity, and 5 fire resistance for 1 hours. (Eating will cause dizziness and make
you feel extremely unwell.)
If green slime and feral wolf stew stunk like the sewers, then red slime would make people cry.
When you smell it, it will assault your mind with its stink. The three girls around the fire looked
suspiciously at Ye Cang who was cooking. Can this even be eaten?

Eat up. Its good for your. Ye Cang indifferently said. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le were
sweating and trembling as they raised their head, reminiscing. They started to regret becoming
professional gamers. The price was too great

Even the cold as ice FrozenBlood couldnt help but scoot her butt away a few steps. Is he sure
thats edible?

ThornyRose saw the foods stats and was happy but at the same time, she made a big frown. To
eat or not to eat? Not eat? This thing gave as much attributes as a piece of equipment, and the
health recovery was tens of times faster than sitting and healing naturally. They could save a lot
of time, not to mention the fire resistance will be effective here. But if she ate it, forget the smell,
just looking at the dried up eyeballs floating on the red soup made her sick. She slowly looked up
towards the originator of this evil practice, Ye Cang.

Zhang ZhengXiong looked at the beauties and gave a few heroic laughs. He filled a bowl and
wolfed it down. Lin Le saw that Zhang ZhengXiong had started eating, his ahoge stood up as he
hurried to catch up. At this moment, one was eating, his face as ferocious as a beasts. The other
was crying like he was a girl who was wronged.

Ye Cang mumbled as he ate, he repeatedly tried to urge the girls: Withstand bitterness and rise
above it. Withstand bitterness

ThornyRose looked at the three of them, her scalp becoming numb. She clenched her teeth. How
can a girl lose out to a guy! She reached out and grabbed a bowl to start eating. Her pretty
eyebrows began to twist and distort. FrozenBlood also downheartedly started eating. She bit her
bowl making a Ke~ Ke~ sound. GreenDew also reached out, one hand eating, the other hand
pinching her thigh. She repeatedly thought: What a rotten game! Why cant we turn off our
sense of taste and smell!

When the six finished healing, they all showed the white of their eyes, fainting momentarily. Ye
Cangs group of three took the lead and got up first.

Ye Cang resisted the urge to vomit and proudly said: Hmph~ Its just a simple home-cooked
meal

Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le were speechless. They turned around and heaved.

The three girls got up and felt extremely unwell, like they wanted to throw up but couldnt. They
leaned against the warm rocks and tried their best to throw up.
A few seconds later.

ThornyRose wiped her mouth, and sighed. She saw the three of them quietly enduring it. These
three were tough as f**king beasts. She slowly got up and calmly said: Ok, now that were
healed up, lets train.

FrozenBlood and GreenDew also understood. This healing and buff was really useful, especially
the resistance. They glanced at the leftovers in the pot and covered their mouths.

The six of them continued up the windy mountain road. The whole way, any red slimes were
slaughtered and harvested. Unfortunately, they were immune to the fire damage from
ThornyRoses sword. What made ThornyRose raise an eyebrow was Zhang ZhengXiongs
impressive operating ability. His reaction speed was extremely fast and he was good at grasping
opportunities. Although Lin Les operating ability was average, he actually had a hidden class,
though she didnt know what class it was. As for Ye Cang, ThornyRose didnt know what to say
about him. However she wouldnt judge too soon, he should have some special techniques. The
speed at which he shot arrows was bizarrely fast.

Zhang ZhengXiong took the role of tank with his fire resistance and the 30 points of fire
protection. He barely lost any health. He also used his shield to heal allowing him to fight
without fear.

After a few hours, theyd slain over a hundred slimes. They were so quick and efficient that
ThornyRose was moved. But the moment she remembered eating that thing, her stomach would
begin to revolt.

Following the winding trail up the mountain, everyone continued climbing to the top.

At dusk, Ye Cang stood by a cliff and watched the setting sun. The forest grew darker while the
river turned gold, reflecting the sunlight. His eyes also reflected the color of the sun, flickering
gold. Nearby, he could hear laughter as Zhang ZhengXiong teased Lin Le.

ThornyRose watched him survey the distant scenery, still not knowing what to think of him. Her
beautiful eyes couldnt help but lower and stare at his butt. She thought back to the incident and
considered taking revenge but shook her head and thought: Whats there to think about!? Im
not a pervert. She sighed and walked forwards.
Chapter 17: To The Peak
After being together for a while, ThornyRose realised that these three guys were not bad. She
also learned that they were new to gaming, but their luck was really good. Right at the beginning
they managed to get a good profession, and even a hidden class. She looked at Zhang
ZhengXiong and asked: Youre a fighter who focuses on constitution with some strength?

Ah~ no. Im a priest Zhang ZhengXiong replied calmly. He then turned back and used the
story about the human organ theft in the western district to scare Lin Le.

ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, and GreenDew were speechless. This guy was unexpectedly a
f**king priest?

ThornyRoses chest felt heavy. Hes taking a priest and playing like a fighter. It was a bit too late
to remind him, but with good intentions, she asked: Dont tell me you added your points to

Zhang ZhengXiong turned back and patted his chest. No problem! A healthy body is a healthy
mind.

The three girls were dumbfounded. These three guys, each was dumber than the last.

Ye Cang laughed. Although he didnt know at first, after acquiring some information, he knew
priests needed Wisdom. However, AXiong actually successfully got a passive that adds a
percentage of his Constitution to his Wisdom. Though his Wisdom couldnt compare to a
wisdom focused priest, it wouldnt be too low.

However, a high Constitution priest has a good survival rate. But youll still need a bit of
Wisdom to support it. Too bad we dont know all the branches of each class in this game.
Theres too little information. FrozenBlood raised her smart eyebrows. This was something that
made every large guild cautious.

At nightfall, darkness covered their field of view. They all took out their torches. Attracted to the
torchlight, red slimes swarmed in, delivering to them experience and materials. Lin Le managed
to loot an old sheepskin from one of the corpses. Brother LilWhite, its a recipe that I can use!

Bring it over and let me see. Ye Cang took the recipe. ThornyRose looked at Lin Le. More
than one of them had a profession? How did they acquire them?

Minor Flame Flask - Recipe: A Recipe to create a Minor Flame Flask. Deal 15 fire damage to a
target and have a chance to deal burn damage over time. (Requirements: Alchemist or Arms
Dealer).

Do you have someone who can learn this recipe? Ye Cang looked between the recipe and
ThornyRose and asked.
ThornyRose shook her head. There still hadnt been any word of an alchemy instructor NPC in
the village.

Lele, you can learn it then. Ye Cang handed it to Lin Le.

Bro! A skill book appeared! Heavy Strike! Zhang ZhengXiong also looted something good.
ThornyRose raised her eyebrows surprised. Good guy! A skillbook dropped. She was a bit
moved.

Ye Cang took the skill book.

Heavy Strike: Perform a heavy attack at the target, dealing 150% damage. Consumes 10 rage.
Cooldown: 10 seconds. (Requirements: A class that uses rage.)

The three of them faced each other. Rock, Paper, Scissors!

Scissors! Ye Cang.

Paper! Zhang ZhengXiong.

Paper! Lin Le.

Mine Ye Cang wanted to claim it.

Hey! This is something we got together! ThornyRose saw the three of them ignoring her to
play their game and roared. The more she learned about these three guys, the more surprised she
was.

Ye Cang froze for a second then immediately said. Forgot then lets go again together.

FrozenBlood facepalmed. Just how new and primitive were these three.

Lets roll for them. Only those who have rage ThornyRose sighed. She figured they also
didnt know how to roll. She demonstrated: Like this. Watch. The one who rolls highest gets it.
She then rolled the dice and got a 2.

The three guys threw out their dice. Ye Cang got a 1. Zhang ZhengXiong got 15. Lin Le got 100.

I won! I won! Lin Le cheered.

This time didnt count. I was just demonstrating. Also, Shaking Bear, what is a priest like you
rolling for ThornyRose saw her own roll and hurriedly said while blushing with shame.

Ah, miss, you can call me AXiong. Actually, when my Constitution passed 20 and my Strength
reached 10, the system told me I unlocked Rage. Zhang ZhengXiong replied.
Get lost! Youre the miss! ThornyRose roared. She felt that anything that comes out of a loser
like Zhang ZhengXiongs mouth becomes rotten, especially since he was a priest that had rage.
The system probably already thinks hes a fighter! She put her hand on her forehead and sighed.

Then Madam? Ye Cang played with his eyebrows and tried.

Thats good. Her name is a bit hard to pronounce. Madam Zhang ZhengXiong thought over
it seriously and nodded.

Madam, youre trying to cheat? Lin Le pouted, feeling wronged.

ThornyRose saw that the three of them had come to an agreement. Madam your sister! She
roared again: Im not Madam!

FrozenBlood couldnt help laughing happily. Very good. Madam

GreenDew was on the side, covering her mouth and trying to hold in her laughter.

Icy! You! ThornyRose powerlessly sighed. Im probably a bit older than you all. You can call
me Sister Rose.

Ok. Madam ThornyRose! Ye Cang laughed.

Mm! Beautiful Madam! Zhang ZhengXiong said.

Madam Rose. Its my win! Lin Le hugged the skill book not wanting to let it go.

Madam Leader, just give it to him. FrozenBlood said holding back her laughter.

Madam Rose, a white dagger dropped over here. GreenDew joined in.

Dont call me Madam!!! Her roar echoed out throughout the volcano.

The six of them continued walking and clearing out the red slimes and the large bats that appear
at night. Partway up, they ran into a small swarm of bats. The 10 or so large bats caught the six
of them unprepared. Fortunately, there werent too many of them. Flaming Dogs Fang that was
in ThornyRoses hand spouted flame as it struck. Two hits caused extraordinary damage.
ThornyRose was becoming too attached to it. If she brought it to PK, now that players didnt
have much defence, and she activated flame strike, two strikes, each dealing 20+ damage could
instantly kill a player. Of course, it wouldnt work on guys like Zhang ZhengXiong, who had fire
resistance, a defensive skill, and even high Constitution. Zhang ZhengXiong currently had over
80 health.

Now that Lin Le had Heavy Strike, his damage increased by a lot. After the ambush, their food
buffs had almost run out. They also needed to heal. However, they were almost at the top.
Mada Before Ye Cang could finish speaking, ThornyRose gave him a murderous glare.
Sister Rose, lets heal a bit.

Everyone looked at the red liquid in the pot. ThornyRose felt powerless, she said giving Ye Cang
a serious look: Cant you make it taste a bit better? It doesnt need to be good, just edible.

Eh~, this is the just how red slimes taste. Though I have a recipe that is edible, it doesnt give
fire resistance. Ye Cang shook his head.

Everyone sighed. Although theyve already eaten it many times, they still couldnt help shivering
and being nauseated by the stink. After everyone recovered consciousness, they continued up the
mountain path.

They walked the rugged mountain path until they reached a steep slope leading to the peak.
ThornyRose signaled to stop. FrozenBlood, go take a look.

Without a fuss, FrozenBlood sheathed her dagger at her waist and began quietly climbing up.
She climbed as nimbly as a lizard, her figure looked graceful and elegant. She didnt run into any
problems on the way up and her speed was very fast.

Not far away, Ye Cang watched FrozenBloods noiseless and elegant climbing motions. She was
a natural at concealment.

Zhang ZhengXiong stroked his chin and praised: Amazing.

Ye Cang slowly nodded. Indeed.

Chapter 18: Hemlock Longbow
Everyone come up. Besides a cave, theres nothing else up here. FrozenBlood voice arrived
from above. Everyone started climbing up and arrived at the cave.

Lets go in and take a look. ThornyRose reached out her hand to feel the temperature of the
cave and took the lead to enter. Everyone followed after her, one after the other. The floor was
rugged and uneven, the passage was narrow, and the torchlight didnt reach very far. Everyone
advanced cautiously. Along the way they faced waves of bats. They eventually left the passage
and entered an area with flat floors and spent some time reorganizing. Ye Cang took out his new
Red Slime and Bat Stew. It lost the buff to Dexterity but instead improved night vision, tempting
everyone. However, the taste was even worse than stewing wolves.

Although it was disgusting, ThornyRose was still a bit envious. It was a very useful skill, and
greatly reduced the amount of time needed to level. Healing items were extremely expensive.
One small red potion sold for 15 silver each at the NPC and it healed very little. As for blue
potions, no one has seen them yet. Waiting for mana to recover really was a pain in the ass.
Thats why ThornyRose made GreenDew control her mana. She wouldnt use more than one
spell on a normal monster, so that when an elite monster appeared, they would have enough to
deal it with it.

What everyone didnt know was that, as a half-elf, Ye Cang could see a lot further in the dark
than the others, but not as far as a full elf. Light faintly flickered in his silver eyes. He pointed at
the rocks to the right and said: Theres a cave on that side.

Everyone looked over and could only see pitch-black, moreover it was in the middle of nowhere.
ThornyRose looked at Ye Cangs eyes that shined like a nocturnal animals. Youre not
human?

Ye Cang shrugged and said: Mm, I cant say Im not. Im a Half-Elf.

Zhang ZhengXiong finally realised. No wonder he always notice things before them.

FrozenBlood already thought it was a bit weird. Every time a bat came, it was always him who
warned everyone. She herself had an improved sense of smell, but not augmented vision.

ThornyRose looked at the three of them: Hidden Class, Hidden Race, Professions, What else?
She didnt want to ask. Since you have night vision, then lets have you be responsible for
scouting. Go take a look ahead.

Ye Cang nodded. He brought everyone to a steep slope, jumped up and started climbing.
Everyone followed closely behind him. When they climbed into the cave, the inside was just a
small hollow with two treasure chests. He said with excitement: Theres two treasure chests!

Treasure chests!? Everyone quickly climbed in.

ThornyRose wanted to say that each group would get one, but Ye Cang had already opened one.
He saw that inside was completely empty and asked: Why is there nothing at all? He took the
chest and turned it upside down, then in anger he smashed it onto the ground with a Bang~

ThornyRose was speechless. A treasure chest was unexpectedly empty, then the other one
must definitely have something. She was sure that no other player had been here before.

Ye Cang turned and looked towards the other chest. He slowly reached over with his evil hands.
Let me see this one

Zhang ZhengXiong performed a flying tackle, knocking him down. Lele, hurry and open it!!

The three girls were stunned. What were they doing? Going so far just for a chest.

Believe me! This ones empty, so if I open the other one, Ill definitely get something good! No,
this chest was probably empty from the beginning! Its a fake! Release me! Let me open it! Ye
Cang wiggled and reached out trying to touch the chest.

Lin Le opened the treasure chest. Brother LilWhite! Brother LilXiong! Theres a bow and a
helmet.

Something for me!? Ye Cang excitedly grabbed the bow from Lin Le. It was a very textured
wooden longbow that was 120cm long.

Hemlock Longbow (Excellent)

Category: Longbow

Requirements: 11 Strength or 13 Dexterity

Damage: 5 - 9

+1 Strength

+1 Dexterity

+10m Range

Bro! Every time you open a chest or loot a boss, nothing ever comes out. Now youve wasted a
chest. Zhang ZhengXiong grumbled.

F**k off! The chest was definitely already empty! It was definitely so. I never got to show off
the power of these hands, otherwise wed definitely get a divine tool. Ye Cang raised his right
hand and earnestly said, absolutely sure of it.

Zhang ZhengXiong sighed without replying.

ThornyRose and the girls were confused. FrozenBlood touched her brows. Werent they being
too superstitious? Lucky or unlucky might affect it a bit, but in the end, it was just randomly
calculated, how much could luck affect it? At best it was him looting things of low quality that
rarely had drops. Shes never heard of a chest having something then being empty when
someone opened it. However, Lin Le was indeed very lucky. Fine quality equipment were
already as rare as phoenixes and unicorns, not to mention Excellent ones.

Ye Cang took the bow and equipped it. Im taking this bow, any objections?

For the longbow, ThornyRose and the girls had no objections. Although the stats were good,
only he could use it well since it was one of the weapons the jack-of-all-trades knight could use.
She asked: Lets see the helmet.

Lin Le nodded and took leather hat with a few metal rivets.

Iron Riveted Leather Hat (Fine)

Category: Light Helmet

Requirements: 15 Constitution, 10 Strength

+2 Defence

+1 Constitution

Since his group had already gotten something, he handed the hat over to ThornyRose.

Was his bad luck as extraordinary as he said? GreenDew looked at the open chest doubtfully.

Try this and well know. FrozenBlood took out a pouch. This is a money bag rewarded from
a quest. It can have from 1 silver to 1 gold (100 silver) total. Lets see your luck.

ThornyRose raised an eyebrow. Currently, in game currency was in high demand. The three of
them together didnt even have 1 gold. Even on the black-market, supply doesnt meet the
demand. Although this coin pouch was not worth much, it could at least give them a couple tens
of silver. If they were lucky, they could even get seventy or eighty. This made her worry.

Cough~ Cough~ Hand it over! Ye Cang smiled calmly. He took the coin pouch, slowly opened
it and froze.

Ye Cang threw the bag away, trying very hard to stay calm. Ok, the bag was fake. Go find the
bastard that gave it to you and refund it

Remember to give a bad rating. Lin Le thought it was really fake and reminded FrozenBlood.
 ThornyRose and the girls were speechless. They turned and looked at the empty bag and let
out a sigh. Didnt it say the least you could get was 1 silver? It turns out there was actually a guy
who couldnt even find 1 silver. They looked at the empty chest and felt like their hearts would
stop.

ThornyRose became gloomy. A good harvest was spoiled by this poor knight. A perfectly good
chest was ruined. She felt her heart hurt a bit. That poor Cough~ Cough~ PaleSnow. If
theres a chest or a boss or anything, please stand far away.

Sister Rose, its no use. The moment my bro sees a bosss corpse or a closed chest, he becomes
like a hungry ghost. Zhang ZhengXiong said with a sigh. The three women thought back to the
previous scene and realized, no wonder he had to stall him so desperately.

Madam. What happened earlier, in short, it was unexpected. It could happen to anyone. You
have to believe in my Ye Cang again, slowly raised his right hand and smiled.

Im not Madam! ThornyRose shouted as soon as she heard Madam. She looked at Ye Cangs
extended right hand, and thought back to what happened at the monstrous bird. She gnashed her
teeth and really wanted to chop it off.
Chapter 19: Straight Thrust
Scaling down the rock wall, they continued making their way along the volcanic rock path. Their
torchlight revealed two paths.

Which way? Zhang ZhengXiong asked.

ThornyRose looked back and forth between the two openings. She looked to the left, then said:
Looking at the flow of the air, the left side should be the main path. The right sides airflow is
very slow, it should lead to a dead end. However, there might be more chests or other loot. Lets
go right first.

Treasure!? Ye Cang rubbed his hands together and directly went towards the right. Lets go!
Right side first.

ThornyRose quickly stood infront of him, blocking his path. Shaking Bear, you and I will be in
front.

Zhang ZhengXiong helplessly said: Ah, Sister Rose, please call me

Less nonsense, hurry up. ThornyRose interrupted. Zhang ZhengXiong sighed and took the lead
to go in. Everyone followed behind.

The flapping sounds of wings were heard before an attacker abruptly entered the torchlight.

Bat swarm! Ye Cang readied his longbow. He looked into the pitch-black that only he could
see in and counted. Alot! At least 15!

Defend the passage opening! GreenDew, prepare your magic missiles! ThornyRose stepped
towards the left and readied her shield. Flames surged forth to cover her long sword as she
activated Flame Strike. FrozenBlood stood behind her and readied her dagger with a reverse grip.
Zhang ZhengXiong held his machete in front, prepared to strike out, as he stood to the right side.
Lin Le, listening to Ye Cang, stood behind Zhang ZhengXiong. His two-handed axe held tightly,
waiting for action.

GreenDew began chanting an incantation. Her wand emitted light as magic coursed through it.

Shoo~ Shoo~

Ye Cang now had the Hemlock Longbow which had longer range so he began attacking first. He
entered a focused state to use Rapid Shot. Needless to say, he was extremely accurate. Every
arrow hit a bats wing, shooting it down from the air. The Hemlock Longbows power and
penetrating ability was much better than the other bow. Any arrow he fired would penetrate in
deeply, causing a serious wound.
ThornyRose looked at Ye Cang shoot out a ridiculous amount of arrows in a mere second, and he
was as accurate as ElegantFragrance (AN: Thorns and Roses chief archer who is not in Really
New Village). This guy should be the same as her, someone whos extremely proficient with the
bow.

Magic missiles flashed by. Due to the wand enhancing the spells power by +2, the original 3
missiles became 4. It was then followed by the wands active ability: Wind Blade, which flew
straight at the bat swarm. Bang~ Bang~ Countless silhouettes of bats, hit by the magic, fell and
slid towards them, defeated.

Theyre coming! ThornyRose welcomed the first bat with a slash of her longsword clad in
fiery light. The flames flowing along the sword made short work of it. Her shield also easily
swatted another one out of the sky. Using her superior senses, FrozenBlood saw the bat that was
knocked down, and quickly and quietly stabbed down on it with her daggers. On the other side,
Zhang ZhengXiong was even more crazy. He used his machete, his shield and even his body to
block countless bats. He was like a small mountain as his high constitution allowed him to
withstand bigger collisions. Lin Le used his two handed axe and attacked tenaciously, blocking
the gap to the right of Zhang ZhengXiong. Every bat that came to him would be chopped down.
He saw that three bats had thrown themselves onto Zhang ZhengXiong and quickly went over
and used his axes shaft to knock them off.

FrozenBlood, cover me, my life is low! Shaking Bear! Heal me a bit with your shield!
ThornyRose knocked a bat away with her shield and quickly retreated. FrozenBlood understood
and took her place. Her dagger danced as it stabbed into the necks of the bats, not missing even
once. She even kicked out with her legs. It seemed she had to rely on only herself to block this
gap. Suddenly, she was forced to take a step back and appeared to have misstepped. ThornyRose
who was behind her charged in shield raised and her sword slashed out. She then bent and
ducked down. GreenDews second cast of Magic Missile whistled above her head, passed by
FrozenBloods chest and attacked while traveling in a spiral. The three of them were extremely
well coordinated, like it was all planned beforehand.

On the other side, after Zhang ZhengXiong cast a heal, he shook off a bat that was clinging to
him. Lin Le acted as his blade was both fierce and effective. Ye Cang continued releasing arrows
at the nearby bats in a calculated manner, as they got up, they were shot again and killed. The
fight was nearing its end. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le traded spots to share the damage. Even
Ye Cang who was at the back had come to fill in the gap. All the monster had entered melee
range so there wasnt room to use his bow, and also to save on arrows as he didnt have many
left.

As the battle gradually concluded, Thorny rose counted that there were 17 bats. This was the
biggest wave of bats that theyve experienced so far. Although it was difficult, it was still easily
within their means. Wait, she suddenly noticed the system only sent 16 messages! Not Good!

Lin Le, whose health was very low, arrived at the back and sat down. He put down his axe to
mentally prepare himself for the meal. Suddenly, out of the densely packed pile of bat corpses,
one charged out. Lin Les ahoge stood up as he let out a voice: Ahh! He quickly reached out,
wanting to grab his axe, but the bat was already right in front of his eyes. Ah Im going to be
sent back to town. He thought this in his final moments.

Everyone had just turned their heads and only had time to blink. A silver light flashed. Before
everyone even looked over, Ye Cang had already drawn his longsword and slashed at the large
bat.

Everyone let out the breath they were holding. Good thing they didnt lose a member.

Brother LilWhite. That was so dangerous, good thing youre around. Lin Le looked at Ye
Cang gratefully and said.

Ye Cang flung the bat away and petted Lin Les head without saying a word.

Congratulations on creating a skill. Please give it a name.

Straight Thrust. Ye Cang gave it an ordinary name.

Straight Thrust (Self Created - PaleSnow): Perform an extremely fast thrust at the target, dealing
133% damage. Its speed approaches the limit. Its damage and range will improve along with
attributes. Cooldown: 15 seconds. Cost: 10 Energy.

Such a weird thrust. It must be a self-made skill. FrozenBlood said wrinkling her brows. She
also had her own self-made skills, but they werent as shocking as this one. Fast, it was just pure
speed.

By the time everyone had turned around, Ye Cang had already slain the bat, only FrozenBlood
got a good look at the thrust, the rest only saw the outcome. However, all FrozenBlood saw was
the moment he pulled out his sword, then it had already skewered the bat.

This guy is not simple, she thought to herself. She knew that for a period of time, there would be
no evasive skills, and she knew she could absolutely not dodge this thrust.

FrozenBlood, what are you thinking about? ThornyRose saw FrozenBlood staring at Ye Cang
and asked casually.

Nothing FrozenBlood shook her head and didnt say. She started taking light steps towards
the corpses.

Ye Cang reached out and looted the first corpse. Nothing. He dismantled the body then moved
on to the second one which also didnt have anything. He frowned and said: This things drop
rate is so low.

Everyone else managed to find some white equipment and replaced their current ones.
ThornyRose sighed. Its just some small corpses, letting him loot two or three is still ok.
Although the drop rate was low, it still wasnt as low as when Ye Cang looted.

Brother LilWhite! Brother LilWhite! I looted a ring from that monster you stabbed just now!
For you! Lin Le held out a wooden ring with a bat fang embedded in it and happily passed it
over.

The three girls immediately perked their ears. A ring dropped? They quickly went over to see the
stats.

Nocturnal Bat Tooth (Common)

Category: Ring

Requirements: Strength 7 or Dexterity 9

+1% Lifesteal
Chapter 20: A Bat in a Lava Cave
This ring is pretty good, it can save you some time healing. Moreover, you never know if that
little bit of health will save your life. Most importantly, its a ring. FrozenBlood assessed.
GreenDew saw that it wasnt useful for her and lost interest. ThornyRose was a bit moved, her
ring finger was still empty.

Lets bid on it. The highest bid gets it and everyone splits the money. What do you guys think?
ThornyRose stated her opinion. Rings were rare and 1% lifesteal was pretty good.

Were fine with whatever. Ye Cang shrugged.

How much can we raise by? Zhang ZhengXiong also wanted it. Lin Le just listened to Ye
Cang.

Lets do 10 silver. ThornyRose thought a bit and decided to use the standards for a fine
equipment. Afterall, its a ring.

Whats the highest youre willing to bid? Ye Cang asked, playing with his eyebrow.

30 silver. ThornyRose didnt know why he asked. Did he want her to pay the max price?

Give me 30 silver and its yours. Ye Cang said holding out his hand.

Then you have to have 30 silver to force me to bid that high!! ThornyRose said, putting her
hand on her forehead.

Ye Cang took out a gold coin, and tossed it into the air and covered it with both hands: Guess
which hand?

Guess your sister! ThornyRose chest tightened. This kid was so rich!? Right now money was
extremely hard to get. In a bad mood, she took out 17 silver coins and said: This is you threes
share, the missing silver is repayment for opening our coin bag.

Eh? You can do that? Ye Cang took the money and didnt know what to say. That bag was
probably empty from the start. It was fake.

ThornyRose glared at him. Lin Le thought of something, he took out 3 gold coins and gave it to
Ye Cang. Brother LilWhite, I forgot to give it to you to safeguard.

Oh right, heres mine too. Zhang Zhengxiong also took out 3 gold.

The three girls couldnt help gasping. This was already 6 gold. They definitely got it from
completing a mission. If each of them had 3 coins, then didnt they have 9 gold altogether?
Lowlife Cough~ Cough~. PaleSnow, how about selling some gold to me? You dont have to
worry about the price. ThornyRose earnestly asked.

Bro, lets sell some to Sister Rose. Zhang ZhengXiong added in. He then pulled Ye Cang over
and whispered: Were running out of money for this month. The Leach off our siblings plan
failed and Lele didnt receive any help from his family

Ye Cang counted his gold holding back tears. They had over 20 gold, it should be ok to sell 10 or
so. Although Ye Cang hadnt played games before, he knew that this money would serve as their
foundation in the future. It would be used to buy equipment and whatnot. Seeing that gold was
still rare, he sighed and thought for a bit. At most ill sell you two gold.

Thorny Rose followed the current price in the black market of 100 federal dollars per copper,
and transferred 2 million federal dollars. She reached out her hand and said: Now give it to me.

Ye Cang took out two gold coins and unwillingly handed it over. Please treat them well

ThornyRose speechlessly received them.

We can eat well this month. Ye Cang turned back and smiled.

Brother LilWhite, Hurray! Lin Le happily cheered like a child.

The three girls thought to themselves again, just how young was Lele? ThornyRose was
speechless as she watched the three of them. She felt the three of them were all weird, but they
gave people a simple and happy feeling. She didnt know why, but being with them was very
comfortable. She saw Ye Cangs smile that was not cold nor weak and thought of her old
grievance. She gnashed her teeth. She hadnt given up on her revenge, she was just waiting for
the right time!

After a little break, ThornyRose shivered and looked at the food in the pot. No matter how many
times she ate it, she couldnt get use to it. FrozenBlood also couldnt help showing some emotion
each time. GreenDews hands unconsciously shook as they rested on her thighs.

After healing up, everyone started looking around. Seeing the path on the right, the six of them
cautiously advanced, following the right passage. Ahead, the narrow passage opened up into a
100 meter wide cave. In the middle, there was a tepid pool of water which reflected the
torchlight. The sound of dripping water echoed throughout the cave as drops fell from the many
different sized stalactites. Ye Cang looked up and stopped his steps. Wait. Theres a boss
inside! Its a bat!

Everyone stopped. Ye Cang squinted to see. Above the pool of water was an enormous bat. It
suddenly opened its eyes revealing two red and ferocious lights. It looked at the people not far
away. Screech~! A high pitched, ear piercing sound resounded.

Volcano Bat Chief - Sai (Rare Elite)

After the shriek, dozens of large nocturnal bats opened their eyes, releasing ominous lights.

The sound of flapping wings echoed throughout the cave.

Retreat back to the passage! Dont let them dive down on us!! ThornyRose yelled. Everyone
hurriedly withdrew towards the narrow passage. Keep to the walls! Dont get dived on!!

Ye Cang looked towards the passage. There was a volcanic rock protruding on the left side. He
hurried to it and called everyone: Come to me!!

Once everyone leapt towards the volcanic rock, ThornyRose frowned looking at the boss. One
boss was already troublesome enough, and now theres small ones too. They need to control it a
bit. GreenDew cast magic missile! PaleSnow, attack too. Shoot down as many as you can!

GreenDew began chanting her magic. At this moment, a big shadow as well as dozens of smaller
shadows flew past everyone, narrowly missing. They could feel the wind from their wings. The
bats had trouble turning to get behind the rock protrusion and whizzed past them into the narrow
passage. Ye Cang prepared his bow and several arrows shot out hitting several bats on their
wings. Magic missiles were also whistled into the passage, hitting several bats.

Dont stand around! Take your torches and go in! PaleSnow, whats it like inside? ThornyRose
quickly advanced towards the passage and everyone closely followed her. Ye Cang shot his bow
as he moved. He dived into the passage entrance. There are many stalagmites and boulders. We
should be able to hide!

ThornyRose estimated the length of the cave. It was probably about time they encountered the
bats. Theyve probably had long enough to reach a wider area and turn around already. She
hurriedly shouted: Come here to this pillar!!

The group followed ThornyRose and arrived at a nearby large stalagmite.

Me and Zhang ZhengXiong will take on the big one. FrozenBlood help us pin down the others.
PaleSnow, Lele, GreenDew, focus on clearing up the smaller ones. Were short on time, so
provide support whenever you can. Anyways, they should be in disorder now, and there should
be a few who cant fly anymore in the passage, nothing dangerous.

Ye Cang had nothing to add to ThornyRoses division of duty, so he nodded. He left the
stalagmite and found a nearby hiding place. He counted the arrows in his quiver, and figured
there should be barely enough. He leaned out from cover, preparing to shoot his bow, and took a
glance at Lin le and the magician girl. He suddenly couldnt remember her name. Lele,
remember to protect that whatever her name is.

Ok! Lin Le cleverly nodded. He looked at GreenDew and very seriously urged: You. My
Brother LilWhite told me to protect you. Listen well, dont run all over the place, ok?
GreenDew heard that Ye Cang and Lin Le unexpectedly didnt remember her name. As for Lin
Les tone which was like he was talking down to a child, made her chest feel heavy. She glared
at him but not lowering herself to their level, she said grumpily: Im not called you. Remember,
Im called GreenDew.

Whatever, focus on the battle. Really Lin Le complained quietly. He held is axe tightly and
shrugged, acting all high and mighty.

GreenDew felt a burst of rage, her heart felt like it would stop.
Chapter 21: Sais Fang
Theyre coming! Ye Cang saw the black shadows approaching and warned.

ThornyRose shouted: Ei!!

The Volcano Bat Chief Sai heard the cries of its minions as they dived down. GreenDew started
another chant. Ye Cang counted, there were still 6 smaller ones. Every time his fingers released
the bowstring, another one was shot out of the sky. He quickly hid back behind cover to prepare
another arrow. Then he once again peaked around looking towards ThornyRose who was waiting
for another attack from the swarm of bats, and shot down another one.

GreenDews magic was also ready. The magic missiles managed to shoot down 2. She missed
with two missiles since the bat swarm was no longer very concentrated.

ThornyRose walked out, her longsword smacking against her shield, provoking the bats. The
Volcano Bat dived down with an ear piercing screech, releasing a sonic attack. ThornyRose
quickly returned back behind the stalagmite. Although she didnt receive the sonic attack
directly, the echo could still shake her mind and cause her to lose a little health.

Sai flew past the stalagmite that ThornyRose was hiding behind and landed. It turned back and
performed another sonic attack. Zhang ZhengXiong leapt over, stuffing his shield in its mouth,
and slashing down on its forehead with his machete. It let out an anguished shriek as its mind
was thrown in disorder.

ThornyRose took advantage of this time to charge forwards while keeping low. Just as it was
about to use another sonic attack, she leapt, spinning 360 degrees and her shield smashed into its
lower jaw. Sais head was forced up which caused its attack to miss. Of the two smaller bats
around, one was shot down by Ye Cangs arrow and the other was obstructed by FrozenBlood,
her dagger stabbing into its eye causing a spurt of blood.

GreenDews Magic Missile shot out again. The pale blue missiles hit the bat that Ye Cang had
pinned down as well as the one FrozenBlood had damaged heavily, and finished them off.
Finally one hit Sais wing making it look slightly crooked.

Lin Le circled around GreenDew and his axe slammed down, knocking two bats away but
receiving some injuries in the process. GreenDew quickly pulled out her wand to smack one of
the bats that had been knocked down in front of her. Ye Cang quickly provided support to
GreenDew. His long sword flashed and a Straight Thrust was launched. The longsword instantly
killed the one Lin Le was engaging. The three of them then worked together to quickly finish off
the last one and then turned to join the battle against Sai.

Be careful of the bats that were shot down! GreenDew, how many more times can you cast
Magic Missile!? ThornyRose said as her sword set aflame and slashed left and right on Sais
wings. It let out a blood curdling scream.
I only have enough mana for one more! GreenDews words made ThornyRose curse the mana
and health regeneration system. Such a pain in the ass.

Ye Cang jumped and kicked off a stalagmite, nimbly jumping over to a taller one and climbed to
the top. His field of view was now much wider. He saw 6 or 7 bats that were still moving,
readied his longbow and started reaping lives. The Hemlock Longbow was much better than the
wooden shortbow in both range and damage.

Sai brandished its wings, swinging wildly left and right. Zhang ZhengXiong was hit and sent
flying away, losing over 30 health. ThornyRose blocked it with her shield but was still sent
flying and lost quite a bit of health. She hid the ground with a roll and got up. Seeing the bat
facing her storing up power to launch a sonic attack as well as flapping its wings to fly up, she
roared: A sound wave is coming! Dont let it fly!

Zhang ZhengXiong crawled up and threw himself at the boss. The soundwave was just about to
be launched. ThornyRose knew she was in trouble, she raised her shield prepared to try and
block it. Seeing that the boss was still facing her, she started to panic! If she was hit head on by
that sonic attack, the remaining half of her health would definitely be extinguished. At that time,
a flash of light shot out from Zhang ZhengXiong hand. As it was afraid of light, the effects were
doubled! Sai abruptly raised its head and screamed in pain, the soundwave missing again.

ThornyRose was delighted. This fellow still had such a card up his sleeve!

Ye Cang took this opportunity to aim an arrow at it, and accurately shot right into its ear.

FrozenBlood leaped onto Sais back, her daggers stabbing into it. Adding in her weight, she
dragged the dagger down his back, leaving a long bloody scar. ThornyRoses longsword
ruthlessly stabbed at its mouth. This time, Lin Le also hurried over and chopped down with his
axe. The final cast of Magic Missile launched and pummeled its body, finishing it off.

Congratulations, your party has slain Volcano Bat Chief - Sai. Received 400 experience.

Dont relax yet, there are still a few small ones! ThornyRose saw that Lin Le was about to
relax and sit down, so she reminded. Learning his lesson from before, Lin Le tightly gripped his
axe and started looking around. Where!? Where!? Ill chop it to death!

ThornyRose raised her torch and looked at Ye Cangs fuzzy silhouette still standing up on the
stalagmite. She looked around at the other stalagmites too. She saw he had chosen the spot with
the best field of view for sniping. Cold and calculating. Compared to ElegantFragrance, this guy
was much more terrifying.

Let me loot the boss!! Ye Cang shouted. jumping onto a lower stalagmite then madly launched
himself towards the boss corpse. Out of the way!!
ThornyRose saw Lin Le had already looted the corpse and relaxed. Even if she had to loot it
herself, she would definitely not let this guy do it. Although she was also unlucky, but it wasnt
so bad that she could make things disappear.

Tsk~ Next time! Next boss! Ill definitely loot it! Ye Cang stopped his steps and turned away,
in a bad mood. He clenched his fist to calm down.

ThornyRose facepalmed feeling very tired. Fighting a boss was already hard and then they still
had to defend its corpse after. That cursed touch, and on someone who used it without a care.
Good thing hes usually fighting from a distance. She looked towards Lele and asked: Lele,
what dropped?

A dagger. A pair of boots. Lin Le held a dark dagger in one hand and a pair of dark brown,
leather boots in the other.

Sais Fang (Excellent)

Category: Long Dagger

Requirements: 15 Dexterity

Damage: 4 - 7

+2 Dexterity

Linked Strikes: Quickly chain two attacks, each dealing 85% damage. Cooldown: 5 minutes.

Sais Wings (Excellent)

Category: Leather Boots

Requirements: 12 Strength or 10 Dexterity

+1 Defence

+5% Movement Speed

+1 Dexterity

Sais Wings: Activate to raise movement speed by 15% for 10 seconds. Cooldown 15 minutes.

ThornyRose looked at Lin Le and was full of astonishment and happiness. There was actually
two! This Leles luck was very abnormal. She recalled that his rate of finding items was much
higher than the others.

FrozenBlood looked at her own dagger. She wanted the new one, it was so much better.
What to do with the dagger? ThornyRose didnt know how Ye Cang had allocated his stats.
Because the weapons a knight could use was too numerous. Fighter, Assassin, Hunter, and even
wands, he could use them all. Since they were a new party, they had to be cautious about
splitting loot. However she did understand Ye Cang a bit, he could be considered rational if you
ignored the times after a boss died.

Give it to your assassin, Ill take the boots. That ok? Ye Cang faintly smiled, thinking of a
plan. He thought: Hmph~ Once I have these boots, who can outrun me to the corpses and
chests

ThornyRose took the dagger from Lin Le and gave it to FrozenBlood. She saw Ye Cang making
a faint smile, and felt something was wrong. It couldnt be that he picked the boots just for
looting corpses. She shook her head, there shouldnt be anyone so desperate.

Zhang ZhengXiong sighed. Next time hed have to react even faster.

FrozenBlood put her old dagger in her off-hand and her new one in her main hand. At long last,
she got a new weapon!
Chapter 22: Volcano Hot Spring
Ye Cang dismantled Sais corpse and got: Volcano Bats Tooth, Volcano Bats Skin, Volcano
Bats Meat, as well as a Small Sonic Crystal

Small Sonic Crystal: This is a creature core that can produce sound waves. Can grind into
powder and add to food (Good for your throat).

He also dismantled the bodies of the bats that littered the floor.

Lin Le again displayed the might of his lucky hands. He found an +1 Intelligence, Fine Quality
but shabby looking, Black Cloth Gown. It was given to GreenDew.

Ye Cang arrived at the tepid pool of water. He tried to identify it with his skill.

Volcano Hot Spring: A natural spring on a volcano. Can soak in it after removing equipment.
Will recover health and mana. Soak for a period of time and receive fire resistance +5 for 2
hours.

So good? Ye Cang quickly stripped till he was in his underpants. His butt hit the water as he
cannonballed in causing a splash. ThornyRose saw him strip and jump into the water and looked
at him suspiciously. This low life sure has some nerve. Turns out he was a degenerate pervert.
She said unhappily: Hey! Hey! Take note of your surroundings!

Lin Le saw Ye Cang bathing in the water, and pouted not wanting to fall behind. He threw his
axe away, stripped, and like a carp, splashed into the water. Zhang ZhengXiong rubbed his
brows and humphed~. Not wanting to lose the others, he stripped revealing his monstrous
physique, and raised his hand like a gymnast before a performance. One! Two! Three! Jump!
He jumped high and performed two flips before entering the water.

These three bastards have some nerve ThornyRoses heart felt heavy as she roared at them:
You guys! What the hell are you doing!? I already said to pay attention to your surroundings!
Hurry and heal up so we can continue exploring!

Bathing in this water will give you 5 fire resistance for two hours. Moreover it will restore your
health and mana. Ye Cang indifferently said. He then took out a hand-towel, placed it on the
volcanic rock on the side and leaned back to relax.

What!? It will recover mana? ThornyRose said excited. GreenDew already used up her mana,
and now something just came up to resolve that headache. Waiting around for it to recover
naturally was too annoyingly slow, but if they didnt wait, they would be missing an important
damage dealer for the next boss fight. But how did he know?

He should have some sort of identifying ability. Since he has a gathering skill, he probably has
an identifying skill too. FrozenBlood saw the doubt in ThornyRoses eyes and quietly said.
ThornyRose nodded. Although she still had some doubt, she approached the hotspring planning
to enter.

Right, you have to remove your equipment and let as much of your skin as you can touch the
water for it to be effective. Ye Cang added after seeing the three girls were going to enter the
water just like that.

Youve got to be doing this on purpose!? ThornyRose said, dipping her foot in. This guy
wouldnt be trying to take advantage of them, would he? Yet after thinking it over, it had to be
so.

If you dont believe then forget it Ye Cang shrugged. He slowly closed his eyes, resting.
Zhang ZhengXiong started getting excited, he pretend to close his eyes and be in deep thought.
Lin Le was like a child, swimming around the hot spring, diving around, and jumping in and out
of the water. He looked like a happy little dolphin.

The three women hesitated. ThornyRose brought the girls behind a stalagmite to strip. Although
they still had their undergarments on, they wrapped themselves in a towel before walking out and
slowly entering the water. The water had a relaxing effect, after fighting all the way here, bathing
was extremely comfortable. Moreover the recovery effect was pretty good.

Sister Rose, its really recovering my mana GreenDew said happily.

FrozenBlood got in the water and slowly removed her towel. She found a spot by the side and
leaned back, relaxing her arms.

Zhang ZhengXiong tried hard to observe through squinted eyes. That cleavage, those long white
legs. It was a wonderful body. His face full of happiness made ThornyRose sigh. Hah~ that
smelly pervert.

The hot springs warm healing waters glimmered slightly and emitted a light steam, looking very
beautiful. The 5 watched Lin Le swimming around and smiled. His body dived down as his little
butt stuck out like a duck.

Bro, I have a good idea. Next year on the combat test, we should take even more instructors and
students as hostages and force them to pass us. What do you think? Zhang ZhengXiong leaned
over and asked.

Thats too easy for them. They must pay the price for kicking us out. You should toughen up.
Next time, our targets will be the head instructor and the command center. Ye Cang said with a
cold smile.

Although ThornyRose wasnt really listening, she heard the keyword combat test. They were
student at a city college? Which of the five schools do you go to?

LinHai. Ye Cang replied.

LinHai, during the five schools competition, they always rank in the lower half. Theyre only a
little bit better than ShanLan. ThornyRose laughed.

5 Schools competition? Whats that? I feel like Ive heard of it before Ye Cang looked
puzzled.

Ive heard about it. Its a competition to decide the rankings of the 5 schools. Zhang
ZhengXiong knew a bit, but not much.

F**k! Have some common sense! You dont even know about the 5 schools competition!? Are
you a student of the city college or not!? Every 2 years, the 5 schools meet up to decide their
ranking. They send out the best of the best to participate. Elite students among elites!
ThornyRose shouted, feeling stressed. Then with some pride, she thought back to when she was
a member of the imperial capital city colleges team. She looked over at FrozenBlood. Thats
when the two of them became partners.

FrozenBlood also recalled their times at the city college, and couldnt believe that its already
been two years since they graduated. She smiled and looked back at ThornyRose.

So? Ye Cang thought for a bit and indifferently replied.

ThornyRose looked at his uncaring, indifferent expression and felt a burst of rage. She didnt
know what to do with this bastard that had no common sense. She was about to shout at him
again when she heard Lin Les voice. In his hand was a red crystal. Brother LilWhite! Under
the water, I found a hole with a small wooden chest. Inside I found this.

Bachiyas Natural Protection Rune: Use to absorb Bachiya Volcanos heat. Form a protective
shield around allies within 10 meters, which absorbs up to 125 points of fire damage. Lasts 10
seconds. (Uses: 1, Can only be used on the Bachiya Volcano.)

ThornyRose saw the effects of the rune and was amazed. 125 fire damage? So much? It was
clearly meant for a specific scenario. Now they could be sure that there was still a boss in this
volcano, one that had an AOE fire attack. Lin Le was really too lucky. He could even find a
hidden item like this.

You should hold onto it. Itll probably be useful later. Ye Cang took the crystal, got up and
slowly walked over to ThornyRose to give it to her.

Only after hearing her answer did Ye Cang nod and sit back down to relax like nothing had
happened.

FrozenBlood stared shocked. GreenDews mouth was hanging open.

Zhang ZhengXiong was full of grief and envy. If he knew, he would have volunteered to hand
over the crystal.
ThornyRose finally reacted, her face becoming red. She felt like she wanted to get angry but
couldnt release her rage. Her hands held the crystal tightly and she gnashed her teeth, watching
the indifferent Ye Cang. She wanted to pounce over and tear those indifferent cheeks apart. That
lowlife! Smelly rogue!

TN: Any idea what shes mad about? I assume its because in the process of walking towards
her, he saw her bathe? x.x Confused.
Chapter 23: Crystal Slime
ThornyRose unwaveringly stared at Ye Cang. The more she looked, the more pissed she got.
FrozenBlood stood at the side and looked at her meaningfully. Very few people could irritate her
so much. Anyways, these three guys were very interesting.

Little Green, how much mana have you recovered? ThornyRose sighed and asked.

Im about done, we can continue exploring. GreenDews words allowed ThornyRose to cheer
up a bit. Seeing Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le making a fuss across from them as well as the
indifferently resting Ye Cang, she had no choice but to remind them: Lets go. Lets clear this
place as early as possible.

Ye Cang slowly opened his eyes. Time to work.

The three guys climbed out and started putting on their equipment.

ThornyRose and the girls also finished changing behind the stalagmite, their wet hair swaying.

Everyone looked around the area but couldnt find anymore paths. They decided to return to the
fork and go down the left side this time.

On the left side, which was the main path, it quickly became obvious that it was leading
downwards. The further they went down, the higher the temperature became. As they
approached the end of the passage, a strong sulfur smell assaulted their noses and the air
suddenly became had a drastic rise in temperature.

Ye Cang looked at the surroundings. Theyd arrived in a empty, winding cave. Looking left and
right, it was only 3 meters wide. It seemed to continue to zigzag downwards. The volcanic rock
here seemed to have been molded into a path. They arrived at the edge of a cliff. Ye Cang
hopefully looked down and saw only billowing smoke. This should be the mouth of the volcano.

Everyone stuck to the left wall away from cliff, carefully going forwards, but soon it became too
difficult to advance. There was barely anywhere to stand. They had no choice but to turn back.
This time they tried following the right wall.

The right path continued winding downwards, and they arrived at another cavern. Killing the red
slimes and volcano bats that were there, they entered to take a look. There were passages in
every direction, and many natural bridges that crossed deep chasms. Luckily it wasnt too
complicated. After all, this volcano wasnt all that big.

Walking across one of the bridges, the smoke made some of them feel unwell. It also drastically
reduced the range of their vision. They quickly crossed the bridge to arrive at the cavern on the
other side.

How much farther do we have to walk Lin Le whispered.

This is considered easy. In the future, there will be: big volcanoes, cave systems, sinkholes, and
enormous labyrinths. Compared to those, this is nothing. Imagine staying in one of them for over
half a month. ThornyRose couldnt help smiling a bit. They continued walking, their torches
illuminating inside.

FrozenBlood thought back to the last game Rise of Clans. All of Thorns and Roses, the 4 great
guilds, as well as many of Chinas strongest groups, were all trapped in a volcano for half a year.
ThornyRose and herself were lucky and managed to find an exit in just over a month, as they
didnt plan on staying for too long, so they focused on leaving. With all of the 4 great guild
inside, the word fierce wouldnt be enough to describe the competition. Although Thorns and
Roses strength was considered pretty good, but there was still a gap when compared to the 4
great guilds. They could only stare at their backs. Leaving the volcano early, although they didnt
receive much, they also didnt lose much. The ones inside who were trying to establish a base
suffered quite a loss. When the volcano erupted, even the 4 great guilds received significant
losses.

At this moment, a round, white, gem-like thing popped out. It appeared right in front of
ThornyRose. It had a diameter of over 2 meters and looked like a white, crystal.

ThornyRose quickly signalled that there was a problem.

Slime!? ThornyRose drew her longsword and asked doubtfully.

Ye Cang looked at the crystal pimple and identified it, confirming it was a slime. Crystal Slime
- Harja

Crystal Slime - Harja (Rare Elite): A rare species of the slime family. Its a precious slime born
from crystals.

F**k, its another slime Zhang ZhengXiong drew his machete, somewhat unmotivated.

Ye Cang readied his bow and shot an arrow, it hit the slimes round crystal body and made a
sound like hitting a shield. The arrow bounced off with a ding~ only doing 3 damage. He
frowned.

ThornyRose and Zhang ZhengXiong, as well as Lin Le and FrozenBlood behind them, rushed up
to engage it. Harjas crystal body suddenly morphed and stabbed out with many crystal spikes,
giving the two in front no time to react. Luckily it hit their shields, but they were still sent flying
away. They had received under 20 damage, which was an acceptable amount.

This thing, its physical resistance is too high! GreenDew! Is your magic ready!? ThornyRose
roared. She pushed off the ground with one hand and gracefully landed in a crouching position.

Greendew had already started casting and preparing her chants. 4 magic missiles whistled
towards the slime, slamming into its body, causing significant injury. Every missile hit for over
10 damage. A wind blade also cut towards it. All these attacks caused the crystal to form thin
cracks.

Lin Le charged over and chopped at one of the crystal spikes, chopping it off. FrozenBlood
slipped past the spikes and stabbed at the cracks. When she pulled out her dagger, crystal shards
spurted out. She raised her dagger and and used Linked Strikes, stabbing forwards with two
quick strikes.

Ye Cang also took this chance to shoot an arrow at one of the cracks, causing pretty good
damage.

At this time, the crystal slimes body started to pulse. It seemed to have been enraged. Lin Les
ahoge sent a danger signal, he quickly let go of his axe and jumped back.

FrozenBlood also sensed the danger. She jumped back, tilting her body in the air to dodge a
crystal spike. Her heart thumping from the close call. However the attacks didnt stop, instead it
abruptly shot one of its spikes towards the one that cracked its body: GreenDew.

GreenDew wanted to interrupt her casting and dodge, but with her speed, she wouldnt make it in
time.

ThornyRose charged over, but the spikes speed was really too fast and sh was too far away.
Dodge!

Just as she was about to die, Zhang ZhengXiong suddenly appeared. Although he appeared
unsteady, he still slanted his shield to deflect the spike. However, the impact only knocked the
spike slightly to the side, it still stabbed into his left shoulder. GreenDew looked at the spike that
was only 10 centimeters away from her chest and relaxed. Without interrupting her magic, she
casted and her magic missiles traveled around Zhang ZhengXiong and accurately smashed into
the crystal slimes body again. The crack on its body appeared increasingly prominent.

Zhang ZhengXiong looked at his remaining 2 health and couldn only smile bitterly. Good thing
that, as he blocked the spike he knew it wouldnt be enough so he quickly used his shield to heal
himself a bit. Otherwise hed have been sent back to town.

Ye Cang let out a sigh of relief as he confirmed that Zhang ZhengXiongs health hadnt hit 0, he
was only near death.

Shaking Bear, good block! Now go hide somewhere and dont get hurt again. ThornyRose saw
Zhang ZhengXiongs earlier display and couldnt help gasping in admiration. This Shaking
Bears reaction and nerves was even better than FrozenBloods. It could be said he was as fast as
lightning. She started to view him more favorably. Too bad he was a priest who raised
Constitution. She felt a bit of regret but it didnt affect the goodwill she had towards him.
The Crystal Slime received GreenDews second barrage of missiles and fell into a precarious
state. Ye Cang looked at his quiver and saw he still had 10 arrows, most of which were recycled.
He couldnt keep wasting them. He activated the boots ability and charged.

FrozenBlood also pounced over. The slime stabbed out with shorter spikes as it started retreating.
It suddenly jumped and stuck to the cavern ceiling and began to slowly recover health.

FrozenBlood and the rest just arrived. ThornyRose felt powerless. It was too high and there
werent any places to jump or climb so they couldnt get up there quickly. They looked back and
saw that GreenDew was still in the middle of her chant. Ye Cang stopped his charge and started
shooting his bow, but compared to the rate of healing, his damage was lacking. He became a bit
anxious. Will they make it in time?
Chapter 24: Fluorescent Crystal ring
Too cruel! Brother LilWhite! I want to take revenge for Brother LilXiong. Happy Strike! Lin
Le shouted with a pout.

Ye Cang froze for a bit, then nodded with a smile. He looked at the charging Lele and quickly
dropped his bow, kneeled and crossed his hands and put them on his knees to create a foothold.

Lin Le took a few big steps and stepped on his hands.

Ye Cang used all his strength to throw him upwards. Lin Le also jumped as high as he could, his
axe raised above his head and his body forming a backwards C as he shot towards the slime.

Dang~ Clatter~ A clear shattering sound echoed out. The axe chopped straight through the crack
into the ceiling causing the slime to fall. Without even giving it time to be dazed. Lin Le and Ye
Cang both began to violently attack it performing fast thrusts and fierce chops.

Congratulations, youve slain Crystal Slime - Harja. Received 450 experience.

FrozenBlood and ThornyRoses mouth hung wide open. You can do that? ThornyRose was
astonished. How did she not think of something so simple?

Haha~ Its actually Happy Strike. Zhang ZhengXiong laughed weakly. ThornyRose and
FrozenBlood were puzzled. Was this a technique? GreenDew received the system message and
quickly cancelled her magic to save mana.

Its our excellent little squads combined technique. Lele likes to dunk when playing basketball,
but he cant quite reach. Happy Strike is our secret signal, but usually its either Lele or Ye Cang
using me as a springboard Zhang ZhengXiong saw ThornyRoses confusion and explained.

ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, and GreenDew all felt their hearts tighten as they rolled their eyes.
My god, making them look forwards to it, and it turns out its just 3 smelly idiots, two of which
arent tall enough and need a springboard to dunk.

Since Lele thought of using happy strike. Ill let him loot and save my divine hands to loot the
next boss Ye Cang saw Lin Les smile after having taken revenge for Zhang ZhengXiong and
retracted his unconsciously advancing hands.

Lin Le nodded, and started searching the corpse. Brother LilWhite, we got a shield and a
crystal ring.

ThornyRose was moved. They actually found both a shield and a ring!? This was too lucky!
Good shields wouldnt lose in value to an accessory.
Everyone looked at the half meter large, crystal roundshield in Lin Les hand. It was made of a
polished white crystal looking exceptionally beautiful. Everyone also fell in love with the crystal
rings beauty.

Harjas Crystal Rampart (Excellent - Rare)

Category: Shield

Requirements: 20 Constitution

+5 Defence

+3 Constitution

Harjas Rampart (Passive): +3 Defence

Harjas Crystal Ring (Excellent - Rare)

Category: Ring

Requirements: None

+1 Wisdom

+1 Constitution

Harjas Protection: On activation, reduce incoming physical damage by 10% for 15 seconds.
Cooldown: 1 hour.

ThornyRoses heart rate rose. Both items were perfect for defensive classes. Especially that ring,
it could be used for a long time. Too bad that wisdom was wasted, though it would help a fighter
a little bit. As for the shield, its stats were really too perfect. A massive 8 defence, it was just
like its name, a rampart. However, that 20 constitution requirement, she looked at her own, it
was still 2 away. It was only her and Shaking Bear that could use them. What made her
speechless was that a priest was competing with her for defensive equipment. She felt a heart-
stopping panic and faintly sighed. Oh mother in heaven. She, a defensive fighter was actually
letting a priest have first pick on defensive equipment. This was something that she never
thought would happen. With some hesitation, she said: He can pick first.

Go ahead and pick AXiong. Ye Cang said handing over the two items for him to see.

Zhang ZhengXiong took the two items and received a system message.

Your Fluorescent Ring and Harjas Crystal Ring are resonating. Would you like to fuse them?

Zhang ZhengXiong froze for a bit before choosing yes.

Everyone watched as the Fluorescent Ring and Crystal Ring both turned into a drop of jello like
substance and charge at each other. They merged together like two slimes that hadnt met for a
long time.

Congratulations. You received a Slime - Fluorescent Crystal Ring

Slime - Fluorescent Crystal Ring (Superior - Rare)

Category: Ring

Requirements: None

+2 Wisdom

+3 Constitution

Fluorescent Crystal: Use to deal 10 light damage to a target and blinding it. The ring will become
charged and if used again, will grant 15% reduction to physical damage for 20 seconds.
Cooldown: 30 minutes.

ThornyRose saw the ring in Zhang ZhengXiongs hand turn into a glowing crystal ring. It was
exceptionally beautiful, and it was actually superior quality!? The stats were also so good they
made others speechless. A whole 3 Constitution and 2 Wisdom, this ring could be used for a long
long time. He might not even be able to find anything better. If it merged with another slime
ring, it would become even more valuable. It was hard to say if they would find another ring or if
it could fuse again, but for this stage of the game, it should be the absolute best ring. It gives life,
control, and protection. Whether its slaying monsters or people, it was useful. If she wore the
ring, she could equip the shield. However the ring was his. Although she didnt know how his
Constitution Priest build would turn out, but for now, he was tough enough to tank for the entire
team. Lets temporarily let him equip it for now. She thought to herself. Surprisingly, she
didnt feel bad about sharing with them. She didnt know why, but being with them, she had no
intentions of fighting over loot. She smiled and propped up her chest with her arms. It looks like
this shield is mine, but I currently cant use it. Shaking Bear, you can equip them both for now.

Zhang ZhengXiong glanced towards Ye Cang who didnt say anything so, rubbing his hands
together and immediately equipped them both. Sister Rose, thanks for your consideration.

Equipping the items, Zhang ZhengXiong took another step towards becoming a powerful tank,
although he was a priest.

FrozenBlood didnt understand. Their main tank was unexpectedly a priest. Also, that ring was
way too useful, even she felt some longing for it. However even if it didnt go to her, it was fine.
Afterall, everyone was in the same boat. The most important part was the hidden story quest.
Although they hadnt been together for long, but they were convinced of their characters. It was
only their common sense that was lacking. ThornyRose also thought so.
Brother LilXiong, Brother LilXiong! Let me try the ring!! Hurry and let me try~ Lin Le
thought it looked really powerful so he whined at Zhang ZhengXiong like a child wanting a toy.
Zhang ZhengXiong helplessly took it off and gave it to him. Just for a bit, then give it back

Mm! Lin Le happily took the ring and tried it on. So beautiful

The three women couldnt help but smile. This Lele was exactly like a child.

Ye Cang thought of something. He looked at the ring on Leles hand and said: Right, Lele,
Dont

Before he could finish, a light flashed.

Zhang ZhengXiong and Ye Cang roared at the same time. My eyes! Aaah~! Lele!!!

It wasnt on purpose. I just wanted to give it a try Lin Le weakly said feeling wronged.

ThornyRose facepalmed.

FrozenBlood smiled and shrugged. These three silly guys.

GreenDew rolled her eyes.

Chapter 25: Lava Lamia
Ye Cang dismantled the crystal slimes body and received: Slime Crystal, and Slimes Crystal
Eye.

Slime Crystal: The body of a Crystal Slime. Edible.

Slimes Crystal Eye: A beautiful and valuable crystal eye. There is probably a gem collector that
would want it. Can be used for cooking after grinding into powder.

ThornyRose really wanted to know just how many ingredients Ye Cang was carrying and what
they were. His gathering skill was really too broad, from as small as a mushroom to as big as a
boss corpse, he could gather them all. Although Ye Cangs skill was just for obtaining food
items, it was taught by Dodola, a legendary chef that had traveled the world. In his eyes, there is
nothing that cant be eaten, only who best to serve it to. For example, if the customer was a
monster that liked eating ores, Dodola was able to put together a delicious ore feast.

The party passed by a passage and a bridge, making their way to the bottom. They started
running into less and less monsters. On the way, Ye Cang gathered many Volcano Mushrooms
and a few Iron Ore. Afterall, he wasnt a miner that could dig, he could only pick the ore that
were on the surface.

AXiong, carry these slime gels and bat meats, my bag is filling up. Ye Cang reached into his
bag and dumped a pile onto Zhang ZhengXiong.

Oh, well give them here Zhang ZhengXiong realized his bag was pretty much empty,
besides some acid flasks and whatnot.

Soon, everyone was able to feel the air heating up. They should almost be at the bottom. In front
of them was a stone bridge over a wide lake of molten earth. On the other side, cracks could be
seen everywhere in which the lights emitted by the lava flickered. The temperature was much
greater than before. Looking left and right, besides a few stalagmites and stalactites made of
volcanic rock, there werent any other obstacles. In the distance, Ye Cang saw a never before
seen organism slithering along the ground. It looked a bit like a demon. On its head was a horn
and it had yellow scaly skin. Its bottom half was a bit like a lizard except it didnt have legs. Its
top half was very well built, its two arms extremely buff. It appeared to be resting. In its hands
was a three meter long, dark red single bladed axe.

Ye Cang estimated the boss length, and it was at least a terrifying 7 meters. If it stood up, it was
probably 4-5 meters tall. Careful, there is a big boss inside. Demonic Elite, Lava Lamia

Lava Lamia - Curse (Demonic Elite - Rare): A dangerous lamia that lives near lava. Contains
many valuable cooking materials.

Ye Cangs words shocked everyones. ThornyRose could barely see anything. Only Ye Cang
could see so far. While she was waiting, she could faintly see a figure by relying on the
flickering lava, but it was very vague. So the Rune Stone they found should be for dealing with
this guy. Looking around at the cracked ground, it seemed to be related to the boss AOE fire
attack. She drew her longsword. Dont alert him. Lets look around inside first.

The few of them carefully tread on the volcanic rock until they could finally see the boss. He
looked like someone they really shouldnt be messing with. ThornyRose frowned, these
humanoid creatures all have some intelligence and were usually strong. Just looking at that
massive axe and his big and solid arms, it was obvious that his strength was considerably high.
Furthermore, her own fire damage probably wouldnt do anything to it.

Everyone hid behind a stalagmite. Zhang ZhengXiong asked: Bro, how do we handle it?

What do you think? Ye Cang put on a brave face as he stroked his chin and looked towards
ThornyRose who was holding the rune stone tightly.

Shaking Bear! You have to be sure to pin him down since you have the highest fire resistance
and constitution. Furthermore, your armor also gives you a fire barrier. Take as much damage as
you can on behalf of the team. ThornyRose didnt say anything else. She had more or less said
what needed to be said. Zhang ZhengXiong had the talent to become the worlds number 1 tank.
Given some time, she wouldnt have to worry about a thing with him tanking.

Zhang ZhengXiong nodded without speaking.

What about me? Whats my job? Lin Le inquired.

You and FrozenBlood flank his left and right. Watch out for his axe and attack him when you
have the chance. Dont get too greedy, if you discover any danger, retreat. Ye Cang really
approved of ThornyRoses assignments. It was about the same as what he would have done.

GreenDew and PaleSnow, you two focus on attacking from the distance and providing support.
Thats about all. Finally, when I call to gather, stop whatever youre doing and run towards me.
This boss definitely has a big move. ThornyRose finished her explanation and everyone
nodded.

Then lets start Ye Cang cut off any further explanation. He looked towards Zhang
ZhengXiong and Lin Le. You two, give an acid flask to each of FrozenBlood and GreenDew.
Saying that, he opened his pack and handed one over to the confused ThornyRose.

ThornyRose looked at the flask in her hand. A very useful offensive consumable item. The
damage was not low, and most importantly, it had a corrosive damage over time effect. She
couldnt help curiously looking towards Ye Cang and asking: How many more do you have?

I only have 2 left, and everyone else should have one. Theres no extra. Ye Cang shrugged.
Give me one more. ThornyRose said, holding out her hand. Ye Cang obediently handed
another one over while complaining: Youre acting like their worth nothing. We had to kill 10
green slimes for their acid to make this. We even needed to buy an empty bottle

ThornyRose rolled her eyes, taking the flask.

FrozenBlood looked at the small bottle in her hand and thought: This things not bad.

Since hes still resting, we should all throw an acid flask at him. ThornyRose said, preparing to
throw a flask. Everyone slowly walked out from behind cover.

Throw! ThornyRose quietly shouted.

6 acid flasks, Bang~, exploded on the lamia, Curses body. He let out an angry howl, and roared
in a language that they couldnt understand. His whole body emitted corrosive green smoke.

He said something like: F**king Son of a B***h. Who was it!? Then it was just a chain of
profanities. Ye Cang explained. Unexpectedly, he could understand it.

ThornyRose was surprised. He could understand other languages? Thinking it over, it could be
that half elves start with a few other languages. But right now it wasnt important. She shouted:
Shaking Bear! Go!

Saying that, the two of them charged over. FrozenBlood and Lin Le split up and ran on the two
sides. Ye Cang raised his bow and shot an arrow at hiss angry eyes. The lamia simply waved his
arm, knocking the arrow down. Ye Cang quickly hid behind a stalagmite, and looked towards
GreenDew. Done?

GreenDew shook her head without stopping her magic.

Zhang ZhengXiong went right up to the creatures face, leaning his body to dodge the oversized
axes attack. He jumped and hit the creature in the face with his machete. ThornyRose activated
flame strike, stabbing at the creatures chest, then quickly pulled it out and backed up. She
smiled bitterly: Looks like hes immune to fire damage.

Curse suddenly let go of his axe with one hand and then sent a backhand slap towards Zhang
ZhengXiong. Zhang ZhengXiong quickly raised his shield and blocked. Although the damage
was very small, the force was large enough to knock him to the ground. Curse used a single hand
to lift the oversized axe preparing to chop down. At this time, an arrow accurately hit him in the
corner of his eye, bringing about a spurt of dark blood. Lin Les jump attack was also smashing
down on his head from the side. Curse lifted his free arm to block Lin Les attack.
Chapter 26: An Awkward Scene
Lin Le used as much strength as he could to chop down and left a deep scar on the solid arm,
which was now dripping blood. Zhang ZhengXiong took this opportunity to hastily roll away,
dodging the chopping axe. In the dust cloud created by the axe hitting the ground, a machete
slashed towards the creatures abdomen. FrozenBlood also took this chance to pounce over, she
stepped off the axe on the ground and stabbed towards his throat, activating Linked Attacks,
causing a blood flower to blossom from his neck. She then gracefully landed on the ground with
a roll and got away. The whole thing was so beautiful and agile. Zhang ZhengXiong and
ThornyRose continued to attack at its abdomen.

GreenDews magic missiles also whistled out. Two smashed into his head and another two hit
his shoulder. A windblade struck his face leaving behind a wound that was not light.

Ah! !@#! !@#$!$%$^! A tremendous roar sounded. The axe in Curses hand started emitting a
violent flame. He spun creating a garish ring of fire. Everyone quickly retreated, but were still
barely hit by the edges of the ring of fire, losing quite a bit of health.

He said, you bunch of cockroaches! You dare to injure me! Then a bunch more profanities. Ye
Cang didnt forget to translated as he sent an arrow through the ring of fire, hitting Curses left
eye, causing him to cry out in pain.

ThornyRose was speechless. At this time, hes still translating!? She thought as she ran away
from Curse looking for cover.

Zhang ZhengXiong roared angrily. Directly charging over, he planned to forcefully pass through
the ring of fire. He activated his breastplates fire protection and raised his machete, slashing at
Curses face.

Curses ring of fire gradually dissipated. He raised his axe and chopped down. Zhang
ZhengXiong stood stably and raised his shield. Blocking the axe, he felt like he was hit by a
thousand pounds of weight. The scorched earth under his feet sank in creating a small hole and
he lost a third of his health. Ye Cang shot another arrow, this time in an arc, again accurately
hitting his eye, then he quickly hid behind a stalagmite. From there he ran to another location. He
only had 6 arrows left, he had to make each one count. He even canceled rapid shot to increase
his accuracy, just to be safe.

Along with a sudden roar, Curses whole body was covered in violent flames forcing the people
in melee back. Arashi bala nori1! !@$sad

The lava under the cracks on the ground started becoming active and rising. Relying on her
experience, ThornyRose knew it was time. Gather!!

Ye Cang continued to shoot as he ran. Before even reaching the flames, the arrow burnt to ashes,
dealing no damage. He said, let the flames purify your worthless selves!
Ye Cangs words made ThornyRose even more sure. Hurry!!

Everyone madly dashed towards ThornyRose. They all squeeze in together not far from from
Curse. The lava began to flow out of the cracks.

With a wave of Curses axe, the magma gathered and a tsunami like wave rushed forth towards
them. ThornyRose used the rune stone. A red protective film enveloped the six of them, then she
shouted: Go! We dont know if itll hold up!

Zhang ZhengXiong took the lead and everyone followed closely behind. GreenDew had started
chanting her spell the moment she got into position. Ye Cang looked at the wave of lava.
Standing before it, his bow and arrow would be useless. He could only charge with the rest of
them.

Zhang ZhengXiong, like a berserk bear, charged through the wave of lava. Two thirds of his fire
barrier was consumed. On Curses face was an expression of shock and disbelief. He saw the
attack coming closer as well as 4 others behind it and his heart sank. Its actually Bachiyas
protection!! How could this be!!

Just as the wave of lava flowed past GreenDew, magic missiles whizzed out. Ye Cang jumped
and his longsword flashed, stabbing towards Curses head. Lin Le showed no quarters, and
chopped at his neck with his axe. ThornyRose held her longsword with two hands and thrust
towards his heart. FrozenBlood used her daggers and stabbed them as hard as she could into his
chest from the right.

Curse screamed as this was happening. The flames on his body exploding out, breaking
everyones fire barrier. But thats all it managed to do. Zhang ZhengXiong faced him and fired
his rings skill. Light flashed, and Curse who was planning to use the ability again fell into
disorder. He fell over, leaving his spot in the center of the room. The magic missiles smashed
into the top of his head.

Aaaah!! Curse produced a mournful wail. His skill was interrupted and he started wildly
swinging around with his axe. Zhang ZhengXiong activated the follow up ability of his ring,
which decreased damage dealt to him, and used his shield to block the incoming axe. Lin Le
jumped high and caught hold of Curses head. He used Crossed-Eyes and succeeded. Curse once
again was afflicted with a status effect, this time staring into space.

Ye Cang quickly shouted: Everyone stop! Dont directly attack him!

ThornyRose had her weapon held high and stopped, confused. She saw Curse staring off into
space, and immediately understood what kind of magic he was under. Confusion!

Ye Cang sheathed his sword, taking out his longbow. He readied an arrow and asked:
GreenDew, how much longer for your magic!?

GreenDew, in the middle of chanting, put up three fingers.

Ye Cang squinted and aimed at Curses eye. His bowstring taut as he started counting: 3, 2, 1!!

The final attack that everyone prepared struck down together. By the time Curse regained his
mind, he was already powerless, and loudly fell to the ground.

Congratulations. Youve slain Lava Lamia - Curse. Received 550 experience.

Everyone breathed out a sigh of relief. However, GreenDew saw that after Ye Cang shot his
arrow, he quickly started running towards the boss who was just starting to becoming a corpse.
By the time the boss died, Ye Cang was just about to reach it. Everyone had relaxed when she
loudly shouted: The unlucky one is there!!

Zhang Zhengxiong, who had slightly relaxed his guard, abruptly turned around. He sensed
something moving past his shoulder. He was careless! The moment the boss died, he became
careless. He thought to himself: Bro, youre too cunning.

Ye Cangs two eyes shined with excitement. Passing by Zhang ZhengXiong, he leaped, reaching
out his hand. Watch my divine hand! Divine tool! Come!!

ThornyRoses heart sank. They definitely couldnt let him loot the corpse! They had
painstakingly made it this far! They couldnt lose it all just like that! To fight the boss and end up
with nothing! Without any hesitation, like a pouncing cheetah, she dived and blocked the corpse
with her body.

Ye Cang reached out his right hand to touch the boss, and ended up tightly grabbing her left
breast. They crashed into each other and landed not even two meters away from the boss.

They landed in a very compromising position. Their two lips were stuck together, his hand still
on her breast, and their bodies sticking much too closely together.

ThornyRose froze. Ye Cangs indifferent expression also couldnt help but show some surprise,
not knowing what to do.

Even the cold FrozenBlood had her mouth hanging open in surprise. GreenDew covered her
mouth with both hands, filled with disbelief. Zhang ZhengXiong felt a mixture of regret and
envy. Lin Le was embarrassed so he turned to loot the corpse.

FrozenBlood took out a virtual camera and faintly smiled. Say cheese~! Click~ She then
murmured: Next time we meet with the girls, there will be so much gossip

ThornyRose blushed and quickly got up, with a light muah~. Her face became even more red.
She looked at FrozenBlood and quickly said: Icy! You!

Strangely, both of them ended up standing at the same time. Ye Cang had quickly regained his
indifferent expression and slowly got up. However, his hand was still forming claws, in the shape
of her 36Es as his fingers squeezed the air. He indifferently said: Madam, please conduct
yourself more appropriately.

Slap~!

Bastard! Perverted lowlife! F**k you!!

Her frantic and angry shout along with the sound of a loud slap, resounded throughout the
volcano.

Zhang Zhengxiong, Lin Le, and FrozenBlood had managed to get a picture of the moment he
was slapped, her angry face, as well as his faintly smiling expression.

TN: Poor ThornyRose Shes only had bad luck since meeting them And Im pretty sure it
will only get worse :P

1: Complete gibberish.
Chapter 27: Bachiyas Blessing
Bro, what did it feel like? Zhang ZhengXiong pulled over the indifferent Ye Cang, who had a
handprint on his face, and asked quietly.

36Es. What do you think? Ye Cang made a fist with his hand and smiled.

If I knew, I would have gone to loot the corpse Zhang ZhengXiong looked over at
ThornyRose who was angrily glaring in their direction. The words Im also extremely unlucky.
Could you block me like that too? got stuck in his throat and he swallowed them back down.

ThornyRose felt so angry she wanted to yell some more. All sorts of feelings were welling up in
her heart, but they werent good feelings. She saw FrozenBlood sniggering and had nothing to
say. She lost her first kiss just like that. Even if it was in virtual reality, it was still her first kiss.
Although it wasnt on purpose, all she got was a single sentence: please conduct yourself more
appropriately. She clenched her jaw so hard that the sound of grinding teeth echoed through the
cavern. She looked at Ye Cang acting indifferent, and her fist balled up even tighter. She
couldnt stop shaking in anger.

GreenDew thought to herself: Sister Roses hatred towards that knight just shot up another few
levels.

Brother LilWhite. Something good came out! A battle axe, a sword, as well as a skillbook.
Lin Les words brought ThornyRose back from her angry thoughts. A dark red battle axe, a
longsword that we almost as high as Lin Le, about 160cm.

His luck really isnt normal, GreenDew thought. They actually found a pair of weapons and a
skillbook!?

ThornyRoses chest tightened. Three things and none of them were useful for her. That axes
stats was really too violent, and that swords effect was really outstanding. It could be said they
were top-notch equipment for the present stage of the game. Her gaze landed on the berserk
skillbook and she hesitated a bit. Although she was tempted, she had already decided to be a
defensive fighter. She shook her head and sighed. Its all for the sake of the hidden story quest.
She saw Ye Cangs inquiring gaze and unhappily said: You three can split the items, but give us
two gold as remuneration.

Ye Cang didnt say anything. He wasnt in the mood to speak right now. He nodded his head
which still had 5 bright red fingerprints on it and threw two gold over. He then took the three
things Lin Le brought over. He took the two handed sword for himself, and simply fastened it
onto his back in a way that could be easily drawn. To him, the sword wasnt too heavy or too
light. It was the perfect weight to still be easy to handle.

As for the heavy axe and the skill book, they were both distributed to Lin Le. Lin Le became the
one who reaped the most reward. The dark red, heavy axe that was almost as big as he was went
on his back making him feel like a berserker. He raised his chin proudly.

Regarding the loot distribution, FrozenBlood and GreenDew had no objections. After all, they
couldnt use any of the items. Also, gold coins was something they really needed right now.

ThornyRose crossed her arms. She looked at the five fingerprints she left on Ye Cangs face and
seemed to have calmed down. She didnt know why, but she felt like laughing. FrozenBlood saw
ThornyRoses appearance and smiled. What, fallen for him?
Get lost! Dont mess with this lady. ThornyRose glared angrily. Originally her heart was
already in turmoil. Now, she could fly into rage at any moment. She had to continuously control
her mental state.

At this time, the lava in the cracks on the ground started emitting a red light. ThornyRose was
calming her heart and happened to see this. She shouted: Somethings happening!

Everyone quickly gathered together, wary of the red light that was flowing like wisps of air and
condensing together not far away.

The silhouette of a woman slowly took shape. It faintly said: Brave warriors, thank you for
defeating that greedy lava lamia and freeing this volcano

Everyone sighed in relief. If it was another dreadful boss, in the situation where they didnt have
the rune stone, it was basically guaranteed they would all be sent back to town.

Youre too kind. If I run into injustice, I draw my blade to help. How could I allow these sins to
pass while I live? Ye Cang stepped up and slightly bowed, touching a fist to a palm1.

Exactly! Lin Le raised his axe going following Ye Cangs lead.

Hah ThornyRose who was planning to reply, let out a sigh.

What does that mean? Anyways, to express my thanks, please receive my blessing! The
silhouette made of red light let out of burst of energy that enveloped everyone. The volcano
began becoming active again and the nearby rocks were submerged in lava.

Everyone felt a warmth in their body.

Congratulations, youve receiving Bachiyas blessing. Permanently gain +1 Constitution and +1

Fire Resistance.

ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, and GreenDew became happy. They were actually awarded a
permanent attribute and fire resistance. This trips rewards were rather good. Naturally, compared
to the three guys, they could only smile bitterly.

The red silhouette gradually dissipated. Im going to continue my slumber. Farewell, brave
warriors.

ThornyRoses mood had become a lot better. Everyone turned around to leave and found that the
exit was completely gone. All that was left was a chasm that they couldnt possible cross.
Peering at the surroundings, they couldnt find any other path. Whats going on? This NPC was
really too wicked. Giving a rewards and then giving them death. Although they wouldnt lose too
much experience from just dying once.
How do we cross? ThornyRose asked as Ye Cang came to the chasms edge and looked down
at the lava. The other side was too far.

Ye Cang indifferently smiled. He took out a bundle of rope. He tied a big loop and a small loop.
The small loop was tied onto his arrow. He aimed high at the other side. ThornyRose frowned, it
wouldnt work, the arrow couldnt possible support their weight.

Im afraid this wont work ThornyRose said. FrozenBlood and GreenDew also didnt have
any hope.

Shoo~ The arrow flew out, and stabbed into the rock wall on the other side. Ye Cang continued
to calmly smile. He gave the rope a few good tugs.

ThornyRose sighed. Like I said

At this time, the big loop perfectly caught on a stalagmite. ThornyRose looked at the rope that
was not falling and couldnt believe her eyes. She knew that this guys eyes could see further
than the rest of them in the dark, but she still raised her eyebrows in surprise. This guy still has
such skills hidden up his sleeve.

FrozenBlood sighed, this dangerous situation could be considered dissolved.

You should cross first. One at a time. Quickly. Ye Cang tied this side of the rope onto a
stalagmite and urged ThornyRose.

1: Looks like this

Chapter 28: Welcoming the Sun
Hearing Ye Cang urging her to go first, ThornyRose didnt know what to say. Without making a
fuss, she grabbed the rope and started climbing across. She looked pretty athletic and skilled. The
hatred she had for Ye Cang lessened by a bit. It turned out this smelly guy still has some good
points. She quickly reached the middle.

My bad. I didnt send you out of the volcano. Its been a long time since Ive last appeared, my
mind is still in disorder, and I almost forgot. Brave warriors A familiar voice was heard. The
red silhouette slowly appeared again. Everyone quickly turned around, slowly processing the
meaning of those words. They could directly leave? Then they didnt need to risk crossing on the
rope.

Just at this moment, the stalagmite that the rope was tied onto broke and the rope started falling.
ThornyRose who had already climbed to the middle, and was angry at the silhouette, fell with it.
She looked at the red silhouette still slowly condensing and the bubbling lava below. She looked
at Ye Cangs back, and before she even got to curse at him, she splashed into the magma. She
didnt even create any bubbles before she vaporized.

Ye Cang turned around and looked at the rope that had disappeared. He found it hanging on the
other side, the tip slowly burning and he froze.

FrozenBlood and GreenDew noticed what had happened and their mouths hung open, shocked.
Her hatred probably just grew again. Too bad they couldnt put all the blame on this PaleSnow.

Lin Le turned back and was a bit confused. Wheres Sister Rose?

Zhang ZhengXiong absentmindedly pointed towards the bubbling magma.

Lin Le rejoiced, patting himself on the chest. So dangerous. Good thing I didnt go first

Im going to send everyone out now. Oh right, didnt you have another companion? The warm,
red silhouette finished taking shape and asked everyone.

Umm She was in a hurry and returned first Ye Cang rubbed his nose, somewhat
embarrassed.

Everyone was transported to the entrance of the volcano.

What do you think shes doing now Ye Cang murmured, looking towards the sun. He
secretly took out a gold coin and placed it in FrozenBloods hand.
FrozenBlood followed Ye Cangs gaze. She quickly put away the gold coin and stretched while
nodding. She should be raging at the revival point. However, Ill put in a good word for you.
The sun here is so beautiful

The sun was just rising from beyond the forest. The warm light warmed up everyones hearts.

Yeah, beautiful Ye Cang crossed his arms and smiled.

GreenDew was covered in cold sweat. This bribery went too naturally.

Zhang ZhengXiong was full of admiration. Resolving the issue indirectly, worthy of being my
bro. The great strategist of the east!!

Back in Really New Villages resurrection area.

ThornyRose lifelessly stood there, her two eyes staring blankly. She slowly walked out and saw
the warm sunrise. It warmed up the depths of her heart. She faced the sky and screamed. F**k
you! Ill definitely kill you!! Son of a B***h!! Scumbag! Ahhhhhhh!!!! AAAAHHH!!!!!!

The other players that just exited from the resurrection area shivered. Just what terrifying
encounter did she have.

A familiar player walked out. Yo, if it isnt leader ThornyRose. What a coincidence.

Having her unbound rage interrupt, she turned her head to look at the speaker and frowned.
YellowSprings? You died?

Couldnt help it. We met a rare elite and it used a skill. We had no crowd control, so I sacrificed
myself to help everyone. You? Who provoked you? YellowSprings smiled.

None of your goddamn business! F**k! ThornyRose was really in an extremely bad mood.
She glared at him, then in rage, forced her way to the village entrance, waiting for everyone to
return. Her forehead was filled with throbbing veins and her face ashen.

Haha~, still so feisty. YellowSprings didnt mind her outburst. He smiled and walked towards
the other side of the village, disappearing into the sunset.

ThornyRose looked into the distance, her arms crossed. Her fingers tapping on her arm. She
faintly smiled. YellowSprings, one of Mad Wars strong core members. Even he was killed back
to town. Then the elites that the Fighting King - CloudDragon, and them are fighting must not
be simple. The elite theyre facing must not be simple. They deserved to be part of the four great
guilds. She suddenly remembered all the things Ye Cang did to her through their journey. I will
definitely tear him apart! She thought while facing the sunset. Her face burning with even more
fury.
She saw Ye Cang and the group walking out of the forest, wearing the smile of a victor.
Especially Ye Cang who was indifferently smiling and waving at her like they were friends who
havent seen each other in a long time. All she could think about was chopping him to death. She
charged like an enraged boar. Not good. FrozenBlood thought. She rushed over to stop her.
ThornyRose, calm down! Calm down!

Im going to tear him apart! That bastard! Harmful pest! ThornyRose roared, still full of
hostility.

Think! Think! For the hidden story quest! Calm down! Calm Down! Frozen quietly
shouted.

ThornyRose sobered up a bit. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le looked at her like they saw a
demonic boar and decided to stand a bit further from Ye Cang, to avoid being dragged in.

Brother LilWhite, Brother LilWhite. Act cute. Whenever AXin is unhappy, Ill always do it,
and shell cheer up. Lin Le whispered. Ye Cang thought for a bit, then slowly nodded. Leles
idea had some sense. He made a catlike gesture with his hands and let out a: Meow~

FrozenBlood and GreenDew put even more strength into stopping ThornyRose who had
evolved from an angry boar to an angry bear.

A red longsword came flying, stabbing into the ground right beside him. Ye Cang froze mid-
action. Looking at the sword by his feet, he scratched at his nose with his cat paw and thought:
It appears to have the opposite effect.

Really New Village, in an open space near a farm.

ThornyRose took a deep breath. Its almost the rest days. On sunday lets finish this quest.

Rest days? Zhang ZhangXiong didnt understand. Ye Cang also didnt get it. What!?

FrozenBlood sighed. They dont even know this? She slowly explained: Because in the past,
there were a lot of people who had trouble differentiating between virtual reality and reality. In
order for this to not get out of hand, the federal government decided that from friday at noon to
sunday at noon would be rest days. The game will be down during this time. It became every
players, whether professional or casual, weekend.

Lin Le stroked his chin suddenly realising something and nodded. So thats why

Then at that time, well gather back here. Ye Cang said, then looked at the time. It was 11:30
already. He slowly got up. Lets prepare to log out then.

Lin Le and Zhang ZhengXiong nodded.

ThornyRose gnashed her teeth and said: Lets disband the party for now.
Seeing Ye Cang about to log out, ThornyRoses eyes looked towards his butt. This hatred, I
must have revenge! Ill give up any face or any morals! As soon as the hidden story quest
finishes, then its your turn to be butthurt! Her hands held onto the red longsword so hard it
shook. She stared at the butt that was disappearing and laughed coldly.

FrozenBlood and GreenDew saw it all.

Sister Roses eyes are really scary and her laugh is perverted GreenDew whispered to
FrozenBlood.

Theres only a thin line between love and hate FrozenBlood indifferently slandered.

TN: Yay, finally out of the cave. Maybe now Wu Na can get some attention.
Chapter 29: The Disappointed Flasher Uncle
Wu Na who was delivering food arrived. She couldnt help but shiver seeing the three of them
wolfing down their food again. What exactly happened at Really New Village? It must be
something crazy. She shook her head. So, Im already level 5. Yesterday, me and the girls killed
an elite. Theyre all so strong, though I helped a bit too. Furthermore, it dropped a magic
skillbook. Now Im a proper spellcaster who can cast magic!

Hearing Wu Nas words, the three of them ate even more carefully.

Too delicious. What kind of magic? Zhang ZhengXiong said licking his lunchbox.

Wu Na didnt know what to say about this behavior. Light Wind Blade.

Not bad, youve improved. Nana, I have great expectations of you Ye Cang said, like some
team captain, after finishing his meal and wiping his mouth. Wu Na rolled her eyes.

Since there was a sale today, I bought a new dress. How does it look? Wu Na asked as she got
up and did a little spin, showing off her casual blue dress. Her spin sending a light fragrance
wafting to the guys.

Ye Cang smiled and nodded. Very beautiful.

Wu Na happily raised her chin. Of course, Im beautiful whatever I wear.

Nana, we made 3 new friends in the game. Lin Le happily said after he finished eating. Wu Na
didnt put it to heart. It was probably just some hairy guys.

Capitals City College. Vermillion Bird district. In some villa.

ThornyRose didnt know why, but she never noticed lunch was so delicious. Too delicious! Her
appetite was enormous. Tears formed in the corner of her eye as she ate. Now this is food! Real
food! She felt really thankful.

Miss, todays lunch seems to suit your tastes Nearby, an old butler amicably smiled. Usually
the miss would eat only half a bowl of rice. Today, she ate three. What exactly happened?

Mm. Uncle Zhang, another bowl please. ThornyRose held out her empty bowl towards him.
The old housekeeper, uncle Zhang received the empty bowl, his back covered in cold sweat.

LinHai. City College. East District. YueRong street.

Ye Cangs group of four watched Sisters as usual then they lazily roamed the streets, and
bought dinner to bring back. They also celebrated their first paycheck as professional players.
The four of them chattered and laughed as they walked. Wu Na saw a light blue, petal patterned
dress in a specialty clothing store. It had a flowing skirt and gave a fresh feeling. Ye Cang saw
the longing in Wu Nas eyes. What? You like it?

Lets go, its too expensive. It costs 20000 federal dollars and I already bought one today. Wu
Na shook her head. With her hands clasped behind her back, she took the lead and walked away.

Ye Cang and the guys looked at Wu Na and smiled. Zhang ZhengXiong nodded. Nana, shes
always taking care of us. Our first paycheck should be used to buy her a present

Lin Le nodded his head again and again. Ye Cang also thought so. She would come look after
them every day. She could be said to be their only female friend within the entire city college. Of
course, theres still Lin Les tyrannical girlfriend, Song Xin.

Wu Na turned around and couldnt find any of the three guys. She doubtfully looked over when
she saw Ye Cang walk out of the store with a light blue dress. She felt happy, but at the same
time, worried and guilty. Hey! I already said it was too expensive. You three usually cant even
afford your living expenses. Go return it.

Nana, we earned a bit of money in the game. This is a present for you. Please receive it. Ye
Cang took the well wrapped dress and put it in her hand.

Wu Na doubtfully looked at him. She leaned over and whispered. How much?

Ye Cang took out his mobile terminal and showed her his balance. Wu Nas heart shook. These
three guys, they definitely dug up a treasure. She didnt ask any further. It seems theyre quite
suited to being professional players. Seems you still have a bit of a conscience She said as
she wrapped a delicate arm around Ye Cangs shoulder. Lets go, theres still a purse I want

Ye Cang was speechless.

Wu Na contently held her new purse and dress. Seeing her so happy, Ye Cang couldnt help but
smile.

Brother LilWhite, Brother LilWhite. Flasher uncle is over there! Lin Les words made the
three others stop. They looked over into the alley that Lin Le was pointing at. A bald, middle
aged man wearing a gray trench coat was there. His two hands inside his pocket walking towards
a professional looking woman holding some files. Her cold and strict cheeks looked a bit aged. It
made the four of them think of the schools director of public relations. However, she could still
be considered somewhat attractive.

Bro, do you think flasher uncle will succeed this time? Zhang ZhengXiong murmured.

He should be able to. Ill bet 500 that after seeing his junk, shell scream and run away. Ye
Cang was a bit uncertain and only took out 500 federal dollars.
Then Ill bet against it. Zhang ZhengXiong took out 500 dollars.

Im with brother LilWhite. Lin Le took out his own 500 dollars.

You guys. Hah~, Ill bet 1000 that she wont. Wu Na said taking out 1000 federal dollars.

Its starting Ye Cang whispered. The four of them peeked into the alley, staring closely.

The middle aged man arrived in front of the professional woman. With a cold expression, he
flashed open his trench coat revealing his butt naked body and his dangling junk.

The scream Ye Cang was expecting didnt happen. The woman didnt even show any expression.
She calmly took her files and blocked the mans junk. Hey * 7cm. Even if it were lively, I bet *
only about 15 cm but its fairly firm. This is my card, Im looking for a long-term companion.
Come find me if youre interested.

The woman acted very seriously then walked past him out of the alley. She left behind a
dumbfounded and frightened middle aged man whose mouth was hanging wide open in surprise,
as well as four tongue-tied observers.

Why! Whats wrong with the world!? The middle aged man kneeled on the ground full of
despair.

Brother LilWhite, its all your fault, now my pocket money is gone. Lin Le pouted. Ye Cang
sighed, he completely didnt expect that.

Wu Na and Zhang ZhengXiong split the rewards, and the four of them walked over.

Flasher uncle Lin Le glanced at the middle aged man and couldnt help but sympathize a bit.

White hair, its you guys. The man who was called flasher uncle looked at the people who had
just arrived.

LilWhite, do you guys know? Once, I could still hear screams of: Eeek! Beast! So scary!
Pervert! and see their frightened running figure. But it slowly became: Ah! A beast escaped
from the zoo! So embarrassing! How hateful! And now, its become: Wow! Check out that *!
So cute! Everyone come look! Someones showing off his *! Grab it! Uncle, youre so cute~~
this kind of reaction. Its like the difference between night and day. Do people these days have
no shame!? I feel that those frightened screams and looks of panic are now just myths Flasher
uncle complained, while making a speech like some public speaker. He looked towards the
endless sky and hopelessly closed his eyes.

The four sighed and shivered. But after thinking it over, this pervert had no right to say that
others lacked shame!
Chapter 30: Wu Na Meets Danger
The flasher uncle slowly got up and buttoned up his trench coat. From his pocket, he took out a
hat and put it on. He looked towards the four, smiled and waved goodbye. Im going He
stuck his hands in his pocket and left. The sight of his depressed back, made people feel sorry for
him.

Flasher Uncle! Will you continue to appear? Ye Cang asked because todays mental blow
wasnt small. He was one of the citys artists, or so he calls himself.

Naturally, this is a noble art. I will never give it up. White Hair, Shaking Bear, Lele, and Nana,
Im a man who will never give up on his dream. Flasher uncle said without turning back, his
voice filled with resolve.

Lin Le couldnt help but feel some respect for this middle aged man. He stood straight and
saluted.

Right! Flasher uncle! Come be a guest at my next performance! Wu Na shouted. Flasher uncle
was quite famous in the east district. Many people had been sneak attacked by his junk. Even
LinHais tourist office lists him as a mobile attraction. The police also had his name on a special
list, in the future, he would probably have a get out of jail free card. Her own band was a punk
music band. Having him join them would be a great publicity stunt.

No problem! Hmph, my bass skills arent to be underestimated This time, the flasher uncle
smiled and turned around. He then took out the card and murmured. 134 YueRong street? Its
pretty close. Lets go and have a look

Eh, that guy The four of them speechlessly watched him happily jog out of the alley.

Flasher uncle walked out of the alley and thought of something. He took a few steps back and
shouted towards the groups back. Be a bit more careful at night, the western district has been
dangerous lately.

Ye Cang turned. The organ trafficking?

Flasher uncle nodded. Anyways, just be careful at night. When I was performing over there
earlier today, I happened to see it. It was gruesome. The eyes, and all the organs were gone. Even
the body was torn into pieces. The schools and citys guards are all still investigating, however
it seems like it will continue to be dangerous for a few days.

Ye Cang nodded: I got it.

Flasher uncle started jogging away again.

Brother LilWhite, its so scary Zhang ZhengXiong had already scared Lin Le with it
before. Now, he was shivering in fear. Wu Nas face was also a little pale.

Scared of what? Whoever comes will be beat up by me! Zhang ZhengXiong said without a
care.

Its alright, dont think too much. Were in the east district Ye Cang smiled and pet Lin Le.
The four of them left the small alley and started walking towards the nightmarket.

The four of them arrived at old Wangs little stir fry stall and smelled a rich aroma. Ye Cang
walked up beside old Wang to watch his cooking. He wanted to learn so that he could make
something in the game that would make people cry, although he had already reached that level.
He carefully listened as old Wang taught him how to prepare and fry meat. He even learned how
to remove the gamey flavor from feral wolf, feral boar and mountain chickens. Ye Cang was a
like a sponge absorbing all the new knowledge. He used to think that cooking was just chopping
stuff up, throwing it into a pot to cook with water, and then eating, but after learning from old
Wang, his outlook changed. However, Zhang ZhengXiong didnt keep his hopes up, because as
long as there are slimes, that thing will definitely taste terrible.

With a table full of dishes, Zhang Zheng Xiong and Lin Le were already drooling. After eating
so many of those disasters, seeing the food before them was like a starving wolf seeing high
quality pork. Wu Na had the feeling that if she reached out with her chopsticks and grabbed a
chicken1, she would be bitten. So it became a deadlock with no one willing to begin eating.

Zhang ZhengXiong took this chance to seize one of the chicken legs and started gorging. Lin Le
vigilantly watched Wu Na, fighting over the right to the last chicken leg. Wu Na silently rolled
her eyes. Was Really New Village a refuge camp?

Ye Cang returned to his seat looking like he had enjoyed himself. He casually picked up that last
chicken leg and started nibbling on it. Lin Le had just decided to take it, seeing Ye Cang so
casually snatching it from him, he felt wronged. Brother LilWhite, that chicken leg is not
yours.

Ye Cang looked at the chicken leg in his hand which was half eaten and handed it over. Oh,
here you go

Lin Le pouted angrily. Wu Na facepalmed and sighed. She ordered another chicken.

Ok, Cheers! Ye Cang smiled raising his wine cup. The other three followed and they all
shouted Cheers! together.

They all emptied their cups at once. Ye Cang let Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le go home first,
planning to walk Wu Na back.

You dont have to. You should go home first, this isnt far from my place. Wu Na smiled and
refused.
Oh, then ok Ye Cang nodded and turned around to leave.

Wu Na watched Ye Cangs back, her smile becoming stiff. She unhappily whispered. Dumb
Blockhead. Leaving just like that She pouted as she picked up her new purse and the bag with
her new clothes. She looked at the dress and a smile returned to her face. She turned and started
walking towards her apartment.

Ye Cang walked for a bit then turned back. After thinking over it, he figured it was still better to
send her home. He could also borrow one of her cooking books while he was there. He started
walking back, passing through the night market, and arrived at Wu Nas address, YueLin street.
He walked by an alley and suddenly stopped his steps. In the alley was a bag and slightly
peeking out of one of them was a dress. There was also that pretty new purse. He recalled flasher
uncles words. His pink pupils shrank as his body was covered in cold sweat. Although it was
me who didnt send her home You guys shouldnt have come to the east district. And you
definitely shouldnt have touched my friend!

YueLin street, in an old apartment building.

Wu Na woke up. She thought back and remembered that as she was walking down an alley, she
felt a pain in her head, then she blacked out. Looking around, she realized she was tied onto a
wooden operating table, unable to move. Her mouth was also taped firmly closed. In the dim
lights, she saw a kind looking middle aged man putting on gloves. He started organizing his
scalpels and other surgical tools. She tried to scream but her mouth was taped shut. She recalled
the recent news about organ theft. She tried to struggle but didnt have any strength. Her two
eyes were filled with fear.

The man slowly approached. Wu Na was now able to see his face more clearly. He looked like
some ordinary office worker who was fairly amiable.

He reached out his hand and stroked Wu Nas cheeks. Ah what a smooth face. Her eyes are
so pretty too. These eyes should sell for more than 15 million federal dollars. I can probably even
find a buyer for your flesh. I wont waste any of it. As for your innards, theyre probably very
healthy. Youre practically the perfect product.

Wu Na was already completely desperate. Tears slowly dripped down her cheeks. She watched
as the surgical tools slowly approached her, closer and closer. She closed her eyes, unwilling
to watch. In her mind, she saw a calm but annoying face, with pink eyes, and that characteristic
white hair, white eyebrows, and those fluttering white eyelashes. She saw him smiling while
looking at her

Lets start with these charming eyes

Wu Na felt something warm touch her face. She opened her eyes and was dumbfounded.
Reflected in her eyes was the man, with a hand sticking out of his chest. His blood sprayed down
on her.
The hand quickly pulled out, and the man slowly fell over. The silhouette that was blocked until
now revealed itself. A familiar and calm face appeared. Under his white eyebrows was a face
with an apologetic smile. His right hand as well as his white T-shirt was covered in blood. You
alright Nana?

Zhang ZhengXiong Shaking Dog/Bear nickname in chinese is : meaning dog

meaning bear. Together they become black bear or coward (Why? I dont really know)
Originally I wanted to play up the coward part while combining it with his IGN, since
ThornyRose probably wanted to be insulting and a shaking dog sounded more cowardly.
However now that others are using the same nickname, I figure Ill change it to bear as the
Xiong in his name sounds the same as the word for bear.

1: This dish
Chapter 31: Shocking Instant Kill
Ye Cang reached out, removed the tape on her mouth and took out the towel stuffed inside.

Perhaps she was tired, or that she just got out of danger, or maybe its because she saw that white
silhouette now covered in red, Wu Nas eyes felt heavy. She felt him pick her up and recalled
that it was like this that time too. She was by herself at a museum and someone pulled the fire
alarm. She was left behind when the alloy doors shut and the air was sucked out to extinguish the
fire. She could only powerlessly beat on the the alloy door. A pair of hands had ripped through it
and picked her up. The last thing she saw was a white silhouette with a calm, indifferent smile
telling her: Its ok now

Ye Cang carried her back to her apartment and took a shower, washing off the blood. However,
he wasnt washing himself. He changed her into a clean pair of pajamas and tucked her into bed.
After locking up her door, he looked out into the night. His pink pupils flashed silver.

Western district, In a meat processing factory.

It was a normal meat factory that distributed meat of domesticated animals. It also handled the
butchering. It was situated in the western district and although it wasnt well known, it was still a
pretty big meat processing factory.

In a cabin not too far away, two handsome and clever looking woman, one tall and one short,
were observing the factory.

The short girl, although petite, was curvy and was slim where she should be. Her eyes had a
teasing look as she said: Qing Yun, this is their headquarters. I dont know why leader gave us
such an easy job, calling us over from so far away.

The girl called Qing Yun, although not wearing highheels, was about 180cm tall. She looked
young and beautiful, but also highly capable. She rubbed her eyebrows and said: This is LinHai,
where one of the five great schools is, its influence is strong. Also, Hong Ling, were still being
reviewed so dont be picky about the mission. Moreover, I feel like this times mission isnt so
simple. In the forest over there, I felt a ripple of power. This factory has at least one strong esper.
Its best we be careful.

Its just some peddlers den. Dont make it so complicated. Lets quickly finish so we can report
back earlier. Hong Ling didnt believe her words. The two continued to watch the factory.

It should be here Ye Cang arrived at the factory entrance and murmured before directly
walking in. He saw the guard passed out on the ground and frowned. Someones here? He
faintly sighed and continued forwards. Arriving at the factorys depths, he saw human like
figures hanging on hooks, as if they were animals. The ground was also littered with injured or
dead people. With a small torch, he slowly made his way to the back of the room. Inside a
warehouse at the back, he saw two women who were as different as fire and ice, attacking a
shady looking man. Suddenly a shadow flashed by, the sound of three collisions echoed
throughout the warehouse. In a flash all three were sent flying.

Qing Yun and Hong Ling felt like their chests had been smashed by a thousand pound hammer.
They didnt even have time to react. The man was even more dismayed. The three of them had
all been sent flying into a steel wall. They felt like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Who was it?

Whos the leader here? Ye Cang calmly said. He knew there were some people from other
organizations, but didnt know which ones, so he didnt immediately kill them all.

The three of them didnt know what he meant so didnt dare make a sound. They looked at the
white haired, white browed man. Was he an enemy or a friend? Just the strength he showed
earlier was terrifying enough.

Qing Yun spat out some blood, not knowing if she should answer. If he turned out to be an
enemy, Hong Ling and herself would definitely lose their lives. The downcasted man on the
other side also thought the same. None of them knew who he was and they definitely didnt dare
attack.

None of you are speaking? Ye Cang started a horrifying attack towards Hong Ling. Those thin,
white hands were only a few centimeters away from her neck when he happened to see a tattoo
on her collarbone of a coiling dragon and suddenly stopped. Dragon Group?

Hong Ling didnt have time to react at all. Seeing the hand that suddenly appeared only a few
centimeters away from her neck, this is the first time shed been so close to death. She nodded
terrified.

Ye Cang looked over at Qing Yun. You too?

Qing Yun looked at those silver eyes and slowly nodded ignoring her injuries. She let out a
pained breath. At least 6 ribs had broken, not to mention the other internal injuries.

A white figure flashed, the two women still didnt see it clearly. They only saw the shady man
instantly explode into pieces scattering through the air. Even though they couldnt see clearly,
they could tell that it wasnt caused by a weapon. He was ripped apart while still alive. It all
happened extremely quickly.

Shouldve said so earlier. I wouldnt have accidently injured you two. Help convey my
greetings to that guy, Ren Long Ye Cang turned towards them and calmly smiled. He shook
the disgusting blood off his hands and turned to leave the way he came.

The two girls felt aggrieved. They were almost killed by an ally. Shouldve said so earlier? F**k!
He didnt even give a signal before he attacked. They were doing just fine before and even had
the upper hand. Their injuries started to hurt as they recalled his terrifying strength. It seemed
like he knew their leader. Qing Yun squeeze out the words: Thank you sir, for your
assistance
No problem, tell him he owes me a favor. Ye Cang left, without turning back.

Hong Ling felt like she was going to pass out.

Qing Yun recalled the words that their 7th squads leader Ren Long said before they left. At the
time, they didnt give it much thought. Afterall, it was just a simple scouting mission, but
thinking back to the previous scene, she couldnt help but bitterly laugh. He was at least ranked
A. Not even their 7th groups vice leader Yue Lin, was this strong.

If something happens and you need assistance, you can call this number. Although you two are
rude and like to cause trouble, this mission shouldnt be hard. There should be no problem.

Qing Yun bore the pain and lifted Hong Ling and smiled. No problem? If he didnt see Hong
Lings tattoo, then the two of them would have ended up as a pile of limbs. Thinking back, she
started to shiver. That bastard was really too dangerous and his attacks too ruthless. No, hes too
eerily calm. Even when he attacked, he showed no signs of emotion.

Ye Cang returned to their simple apartment. He heard Lin Les Hu~ Hu~ snoring sounds. Zhang
ZhengXiong slowly got up. Although he couldnt see clearly, but he smelled the reek of blood.
Bro, you

Ye Cang faintly smiled. Its nothing. Go sleep.

Zhang ZhengXiong didnt say anything. To him, Ye Cang was his good brother, someone he
respected, and hed more or less guessed what was going on. Bro, then you should rest too.

Ye Cang nodded. He took out a change of clothes, and entered the bathroom to wash off the
remaining blood. He looked in the mirror and saw his own indifferent face. Even after killing
someone, he felt no guilt or conflict. He whispered in an inaudible voice: Am I just an unfeeling
monster? Or perhaps After all, Im

TN: Wow Ye Cang is strong. I guess theres alot more to learn about him.

TN: I need a word for someone with strange powers. Please help me out by suggesting one x.x
Chapter 32: Dragon and Snakes Intermingle
Qing Yun and Hong Ling were in an exclusive medical treatment center. Qing Yun reported the
circumstances, and asked curiously: Leader, who is that white haired guy? He almost killed us
both.

He isnt so reckless, that youre both still alive is proof of that. Since you asked, I might as well
tell you. That guy can be considered part of our 7th squad, though an honorary member. Since
hes already gotten involved, you two should come back The one on the phone was a bald
man. He couldnt be said to look like a good guy, more like some gangster, because covering his
entire head and ending past his eye at his cheek was a coiling dragon tattoo. This man with the
strangely high voice, that was unconventional and unrestrained, was exactly the 7th squads 9th
leader, Ren Long.

Qing Yun hung up the phone, her face full of doubt. Honorary member? Since when was there
such a position?

Ren Long leaned on his chair and stretched. He took the watermelon that his girlfriend had cut
him and raised his head. 10,000 Souls LinHai division will be having a headache dealing with
this. That guy actually decided to move on his own. I bet they dont even know that because of a
small branchs human trafficking operation, they provoked a monster. A genuine terrifying and
ruthless monster. There will be a good show to watch.

The imperial capital, White Tiger District, in some courtyard. A feminine man with jade like skin
looked at a picture of the last moments of the factory. He frowned as he looked at the white
silhouette. Its actually one of the 10 Commandments

He had a hesitant expression as he made a call. Have all the followers in LinHai leave. Give up
on LinHai.

Why? Said the voice on the phone.

You dont want me to have to repeat myself The feminine man said coldly.

I Understood. The voice on the phone quivered.

In virtual reality, except for the game, there was a place many people went when it was time to
sleep. It was like a second world. It allowed people to sleep and yet keep their consciousness at
the same time. It used their dreams to allow them to enter the virtual world to do stuff like
advancing their studies, communicate with others, or business transactions. Of course, there are
still many people that sleep.

China Region, Virtual City, New HaiCheng, In some conference room.

In an old colosseum, in the middle was a big cross shape and a picture of a long python biting
its own tail. In the arena, around a circular table, were 9 shadowy figures. On the table were the
roman numerals 1 to 10, and in front of each number was one of the shadowy figures. Except for
one spot that was missing a person, the number VII (7).

Silver Devil, that bastard didnt come again? VIII (8) said looking beside him at the spot that
was again empty. His voice was clear and bright.

When has he ever come An lethargic voice came from IV (4).

Dont mind him. The leaders of 10,000 Souls, and Salvation have been keeping a low profile
lately. I want to know what theyre doing. Hunting Flame, Ardent Wind, Ill leave this to you
two. Everyone else pay a bit more attention to their activity. Try to quickly give me an
answer I (1)s voice sounded out, full of dignity.

I got III (3) and IX (9) replied, one man and one woman.

Meeting adjourned The 9 figures disappeared.

Next morning.

LinHai City College, on the rooftop of the third administration building.

The dragon group is so efficient. We just found the factory and theyve already taken care of it.
Even 10,000 Souls pulled out everyone from LinHai in one night. Ren Long, that pervert
personally came? The middle aged man became astonished after receiving the report.

Somewhere else, Wu Na felt the warmth of the morning sun and leisurely awakened with a big
yawn. She scratched at her messy hair and suddenly recalled last nights events. She quickly
woke up and looked around her. Seeing that she was in her own home, she sighed in relief. She
looked down and tugged on her pajamas. She started thinking: How did I get changed? And I
even showered? And the blanket is covering me so snuggly. Did he strip me? Her face instantly
became red. On her bedside cabinet was the dress and purse that Ye Cang and the guys had
bought for her. She got up, walked to wards the bathroom, and looked in her laundry basket.
Inside was yesterdays dress, covered in blood. There was even a small sticky note on it that
said: Wash it yourself.
 She didnt know what to say. She remembered that last night, he had killed someone.
Although it was a bad guy, but if he was discovered by the police She shook her head. It was
to save her, so it was reasonable self defence! She quickly put on that light blue petal patterned
dress, and stepped into a pair of high heeled sandals and rushed towards YueRong street.

As for the involved party: Ye Cang. He was with Lin le and Zhang ZhengXiong calmly eating
breakfast like nothing had happened. He kept looking at his phone, reading a message. He raised
his eyebrows and thought: Oh~? There was a meeting yesterday. Well, who cares He
shrugged and put it back in his pocket. He continued to drink soy milk and eat steamed
dumplings1.

Lin Le ate big mouthfuls of steamed dumplings, afraid that he wont get enough. Zhang
ZhengXiong was also wolfing them down. He thought of the food he might have to eat the next
day and shivered.

Wu Na arrived at the threes apartment and saw Ye Cang being calm and carefree. He
indifferently raised his hand to greet her. Have a soy milk and calm your nerves.

Wu Na felt her heart become heavy. Calm your sister! With quick steps, she walked up to the
balcony and quietly shouted: You can still be relaxed and eat breakfast! Shouldnt you go to the
police office and explain clearly? Although what you did was just, but what if the police are
corrupt and use you as a scapegoat or something. Ah, what should we do if they do that!? I guess
its best not to go Wait, you should still go. Or maybe dont go, the police arent reliable.
Recently theres been too many scandals.

Ye Cang watched Wu Nas start talking nonsense but still clearly worrying about him. He smiled
and patted her shoulder. About alerting the police, Ive already taken care of it. Theres no
problem.

Really!? Wu Na asked happily.

I have an acquaintance inside Ye Cang said. Wu Na nodded at his words. Say so earlier!
You scared me to death. Soon after, with some doubt, she asked: Who is it?

Instructor Wang Ye Cang smiled.

Instructor Wang? Why was this name so familiar? She raised her eyebrows and chose to not
overthink it. As long as it was settled, it was fine. Her stomach grumbled making her blush. She
snatched the soy milk in Ye Cangs hand and started to drink it. Then she turned back to go
inside and eat breakfast. Ye Cang turned to watch the morning sun. In order to protect this place
and AXiong, as well as you all, I had to make some compromises. He thought then shrugged
and followed her back in. The four of them gathered together like a family as they laughed and
chatted. The TV was playing the morning news which was reporting on what was discovered in
the factory.
Chapter 33: Wu Na Moving In
The three guys apartment became Wu Nas temporary home. She had even brought some daily
necessities over, leaving them in the den she made for herself above Ye Cangs room. Although
Ye Cang kept reassuring her that it was safe now, she continued to stay. To their new female
roommate, Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le had no objections. In fact they were very happy as she
brought with her quite a few good changes. Ye Cang felt helpless, when he thought of Wu Nas
recent scare and her lack of security, he couldnt say anything to oppose it..

After just one day, the three guys felt like the apartment became much more like a humans
dwelling. There were four toothbrushes neatly arranged in the washroom, the mirror was now
intact and free of any cracks, and the shampoo was no longer some unknown knockoff.

So your current apartment is just going to be left empty? At dinner, Zhang ZhengXiong asked.

No. I handed it over to a rental company to help me rent it out. Receiving some rent is pretty
good. Many younger girls are calling me about it. Wu Na smiled.

Well I wont say too much. To Nana becoming our roommate, cheers! Ye Cang said raising
his can of beer. The other 3 raised their cans, knocking them together and cheered.

Wu Na fiddled with her hair that went just past her chin as she looked at Ye Cang. Its already
been two years. It was him who warmed her frozen heart after her parents met an unexpected
accident, and pushed her to start chasing her dreams. She knew her voice wasnt the best, and
also knew she didnt have anything special; however when she was up on stage singing, she was
the happiest. Him, Zhang ZhengXiong, and Lele were her very first audience, standing below the
stage cheering for her. But his back always seemed so far away, she couldnt find a way to enter
his heart. Sometimes he seemed as cold as snow, but whenever she needed help, he was always
there. Hed extend those pale but peerlessly strong hands She shook her head to stop her
thoughts from drifting. With a bit of sorrow, she thought: Right Two years have passed just
like that

Brother LilWhite! Tonight theyre broadcasting the movie version of Sisters. I heard theres a
scene where they crush balls with their bare hands! Lin Le reminded.

Its so popular? Then I definitely have to watch it Ye Cangs interest had been piqued.
Zhang ZhengXiong was also curious. Although he wasnt a fan of Sisters, but that was
something he had to see.

Wu Na facepalmed. A pair of sisters in the streets, in their home, in the mall, in the washroom, in
the park, always changing places to pull each others hair, fight and make a scene. It was that
kind of drama. For these three guys to be so obsessed. She laughed and said: Lets watch The
Adventures of Hot Guys, theres so many hot guys in it

The air seemed to freeze as the three of them turned to look at her expressionlessly. Then they
pretended not to hear anything and resumed what they were doing. Ye Cang doubtfully asked:
What do you think her boyfriend AXiangs balls are made of? Last time one got crushed, then
a few episodes later, it grew right back. Its too inconceivable.

Its just because the story requires it. Theres no reason or logic behind it. Zhang ZhengXiong
said as he crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows.

Who says. You havent even seen all the episodes. They vaguely mentioned before that
AXiang studied two years with some monk like guy. Im sure that monk was an immortal and
taught AXiang some mystical ball restoring technique. Lin Le pouted and argued.

Wu Na felt like shooting herself in the head. Leles words were even more unreasonable than
that son of a b***h writers. Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong nodded like theyd suddenly seen
the light. So thats how it was

Wu Na started to question whether moving in was a good idea. She resisted the urge to smash the
TV. After the two and a half hours of watching that thing Sisters, just how meaningless of a
show was it? Besides hair pulling, clothes tearing, stockings ripping, and ball crushing, there
wasnt a single emotional moment. It literally just started with profanities then there was just the
sounds of screaming as they pounced on each other. It was an action movie with regular people.
These three actually watched it and were cheering. She gave a deep sigh, at least it was finally
over.

Brother LilWhite, that was so good. Lets watch it again. Lin Le said wishfully.

Good idea, second showing! Ye Cang stroked his chin and approved. Zhang ZhengXiong had
discovered some provocative camera slipups, but he wasnt sure. He needed to watch again to be
certain so he nodded.

Wu Na was pulling her hair on the verge of going insane. She fiercely looked at the three and
coldly said: Play it again, and Ill do that thing in the movie to you

The three of them looked at her messy hair, and her blood thirsty eyes. They unconsciously
covered their family jewels.

Late at night, Wu Na heard Leles quiet snoring. Although she was in a pitch black room, she
didnt feel any fear. Instead, she felt an indescribable sense of security. She peeked at the
balcony and saw a white silhouette. He hadnt slept yet? Its so late, what was he doing on the
balcony? Watching the stars? The moonlight shone on his hair, giving it a soft but sad color.

Ye Cang looked at the beer in his hand, a bit absentminded. So its this brand

AXiong, ACang, youre not adults yet, you cant drink beer! But today, the flower shop got a
big wedding order, so Ill let you have one~ Cheers!

I already said, you two smelly brats could only have one! Youre still opening another!?
Ye Cang faced the moon and smiled gently. Wu Na felt a pain in her chest. What was he
thinking about? What made him smile like that? Although he was smiling, Wu Na felt like he
was standing in the winter snow, waiting for spring to come and the birds to sing. She still didnt
know anything at all about him; his past, or what he thinks of himself. She slowly got out of bed
and arrived beside him. What are you thinking about?

Nothing, just some past events Ye Cang chugged the rest of his drink and smiled as he pet
her head. Junior sister~

Get lost! Were in the same grade, that time was because you tricked me! Wu Na said
unhappily, but she continued to allow him to pet her head.

You should go sleep Ye Cang said with a gentle smile. He turned to go back inside. Wu Na
sighed and faced the moon, smiling. Mm~

The second day, afternoon, the four of them logged into the game.

Really New Village.

Ye Cangs group of three first went to Ricas general store and replenished their consumables.
They stayed a while to tease Jesse before leaving.

Lin Le, with Ye Cangs advice and Zhang ZhengXiongs warnings, happily hopped and skipped
to the village square to find a little brother. When the people saw the enormous axe on his back,
they felt envy and jealousy. He was bombarded by many requests to be a couple, or to carry, or
to party together.

The other two arrived at their meeting area. Ye Cang saw that ThornyRose was online. He
contacted her using her ID. Not here yet?

ThornyRose received the message and sighed. Were preparing in the village, wont take long.

Ye Cang ended the chat. Together with Zhang ZhengXiong, he sat on the grass to wait. While
waiting for the girls and Lin Le to arrive, he thought about strategies for the next combat test.
Chapter 34: New Teammate - LilDino Joins
Ye Cang saw that SpyingBlade was also on. He sent him a message telling him the meeting
place.

At this time, Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong saw Lin Le walking over with a model like girl.
She had a professional looking, short ponytail, her bangs were parted at a 7:3 ratio, her face was
a nice egg shape, and she had a shapely figure. Zhang ZhengXiong estimated that she was a D
cup. Her weapon were a pair of wooden tonfas.

Grappler? Ye Cang questioned.

Mm, D? Zhang ZhengXiong asked back.

Mm, D. Ye Cang replied.

Brother LilWhite! This is the little brother I found, LilDino! Lin Les voice arrived from the
distance.

LilDino? Zhang ZhengXiong looked at the two doubtfully. A pretty girl calling herself
LilDino?

Nice to meet you. Im called FrozenCloud. A grappler. The girl took the lead to politely
introduce her ID and class.

Brother LilXiong, I helped you to inquire already. Shes actually a dinosaur, very ugly, but
very inspirational Lin Le said, right in front of her face.

FrozenCloud was embarrassed, and veins throbbed on her forehead, but she remembered the
mission she received from sister Rose. She was supposed to cosy up to him, and had said a bunch
of flattering words that made her feel disgusted. Although he was supposed to be childlike, she
didnt think he would agree so easily. He even asked if she was a beauty or a dinosaur in real
life. She thought about it and figured it would become a bother if she said she was a beauty, so
she pretended to be a dinosaur. She even found a random picture of an ugly girl to show him.
Then the whole way, this HappyAndCheerful has been calling her LilDino.

Heres a picture of LilDino. Lin Le took out a half meter large picture. In the middle of the
picture was a girl; her face looked like it was mashed up, as if god had played a joke on her.
They all gasped in shock.

Oh my god, what an inspirational face. Zhang ZhengXiong couldnt help but murmur.

Very fitting for a grappler. Ye Cang slowly nodded, before putting the picture away. He
couldnt help but think that this player had managed to get some hidden attribute, for example
something like dispersing evil.
Zhang ZhengXiong who was originally excited, made a big sigh. Feeling a bit of pity, he said:
LilDino, you can call me brother Xiong. This is my bro and our leader, you can just call him
boss or team leader.

FrozenCloud nodded, and she politely called out: Team leader.

Ye Cang sighed. He patted her shoulder and sincerely said: LilDino, dont feel bad. Youre one
of us now. It doesnt matter if youre a dinosaur or not, we wont turn our backs on you.

FrozenCloud felt offended, her chest tightened but she held in her anger. It was all to complete
the mission sister Rose gave her. She forced herself to smile and said: Team leader, Lele,
Brother Xiong, thanks everyone. Umm You can just call me FrozenCloud

Ok, LilDino, take a seat for now. Theres still a few people coming. Ye Cang nodded and
signalled for her to sit.

Later there will be a few beauties. LilDino, since youre also considered a woman, help me get
closer to them. This brother Xiong wont treat you unfairly. Zhang ZhengXiong reached out and
patted her back, smiling.

FrozenCloud was reaching her limits, she couldnt hold it in anymore. Her heart yearned to roar
out: What do you mean Im considered a woman! Can a dinosaur not be a woman!? And dont
call me LilDino! How shallow are you all!!

For the mission! For the mission! Keep calm! FrozenCloud continued to remind herself. She
realized that Sister Rose had paid no small price for this hidden story quest. A guy with the IQ of
a child, a smelly playboy, as for that white haired guy called PaleSnow, although she didnt
know much about him, but whenever sister Rose mentioned him she would grind her teeth, so
she knew he was trouble. She nodded without saying a word, afraid she would let slip her inner
thoughts.

Ye Cang wanted to send a message to hurry ThornyRose and the girls when the man who sold
them the shield, that assassin - SpyingBlade, suddenly arrived. The two of them exchanged
glances and nodded. Take a seat, were waiting on 3 more.

SpyingBlade didnt say a word. He walked to a nearby fence and leaned on it with his arms
crossed and examined everyones equipment. Besides that girl, everyone else had some of the
best equipment in this current stage of the game. Especially that enormous axe on Lin Les back,
the sword on Ye Cangs back, and Zhang ZhengXiongs crystal shield. It was obvious at a glance
that they were not common. He was afraid that his own excellent quality dagger couldnt keep
up.

FrozenCloud watched SpyingBlade. Treasure Hunter - Spying Blade. Although he wasnt

famous amongst the masses, but all the core members of the big guilds knew him because he
often sells some good stuff. Hes never accepted any invitation to a guild, and his strength should
be at the same level as her older sister FrozenBlood. He was considered a high level, lonewolf
type, treasure seeking player.

ThornyRose, FrozenBlood and GreenDew hurried over and joined the 5 people in the field.
SpyingBlade was amazed when he saw ThornyRose and FrozenBlood. Thorns and Roses, who
knew it would be them? ThornyRose and FrozenBlood looked towards him and nodded. They
knew that this guy didnt like to speak, so they didnt call out to him. ThornyRose added him to
her contacts list and said: If you find any goods, notify me. Well pay a satisfactory price.

SpyingBlade didnt refuse. In the last game, they were a pretty good customer.

Everyone stood up. Lin Le called out: Sister Rose, Some Frozen Something His gaze landed
on GreenDew, looking somewhat uncertain. You look familiar. Have we met before?

ThornyRose and FrozenBlood were speechless. GreenDew thought in a burst of anger: Are you
a fish!? Cant you remember past 7 seconds!?

You cant even remember this. Really Lele Ye Cang helplessly knocked on Lin Les head a
few times. He looked towards GreenDew with an apologetic smile and said: Sorry about that,
dont take offence, whoever you are.

GreenDew gnashed her teeth and started saying: Im

Ive always remembered you, GreenDew. Come, lets exchange contact information Before
she could finish speaking, she was hit on by a smiling Zhang ZhengXiong.

Get Lost! GreenDew shouted. ThornyRose and FrozenBlood couldnt help smiling. These
three were really top quality.

Zhang ZhengXiong smiled awkwardly.

ThornyRose and FrozenBlood felt helpless. They saw their double agent FrozenCloud and
pretended not to know her. Who is this?

Sister Rose, this is our new member, LilDino. Lin Le happily answered. ThornyRose was
confused. LilDino?

FrozenBlood was also confused, why LilDino? When did her sister have this kind of nickname?

The three girls didnt continue asking. FrozenCloud wore a bitter smile and sighed.

Ok, lets go. The destination is upstream of Riley River in the depths of the forest. Ye Cang
saw introductions were about done and got ready to go.

Up Riley River, well be passing through many dangerous areas, and the fishman tribe will
attack us. ThornyRose said with a frown. That area was unnaturally dangerous. There were very
few players over there. Its good that Mad War was in another direction though, they didnt have
to butt heads. Most of the guilds would only venture out as far as midway into the forest. Any
deeper and it becomes something they couldnt deal with with just numbers. The more people
they bring, the bigger the dangers. The last time they brought 300 people and suffered a surprise
attack from the fishmen. The losses were disastrous.

That surprise attack is dependent on the size of the party. We have an advantage with fewer
people. SpyingBlade coldly said.

ThornyRose nodded. She added in her head: Hidden story quests were better left concealed. Its
better that not too many people know about it, otherwise if a guild finds out, it would become a
needless inconvenience. Lets go!
Chapter 35: Bitter Fight Against Fishmen
They arrived at the edge of the south-east forest, and walked along the river. Riley River was
considered a medium sized river, so there were a few small islands in the middle, and it was
fairly rapid. Everyone stayed as far as possible from the shore to avoid the fishmen.

LilDino, what kind of class is a grappler? Lin Le asked, raising his enormous axe. His
ahoge wagged like a tail.

Youll see in the next battle. Grapplers are considered both attackers and defenders. Different
preferences lead to different playstyles. Im a balanced attacker/defender that puts equal points in
strength and constitution, and can take the off-tank position in a party. FrozenCloud replied.

Lin Le froze for a bit, then had a sudden flash of comprehension. So thats how it is

FrozenCloud sighed.

At this moment, ThornyRose who was in front signalled everyone to stop. Theres a group of
fishmen ahead. Around 10 of them. If we were to go around them and run into another battle,
they will definitely become a problem. Its better to deal with them now so we dont get caught
unprepared Cough~ Cough~ PaleSnow, SpyingBlade, what do you two think?

So thats a fishman Lin Le peeked out his head from behind a big rock. He saw these
curious looking fish with little arms and legs, a big head, and frog-like eyes.

I agree with clearing them out. I see a chest. SpyingBlade indifferently said.

ThornyRose and the other were puzzled, they didnt see anything. How did he find it? Was it his
intuition as a treasure hunter?

Treasure chest!? Ye Cang immediately raised his bow. After thinking a bit, he tested his boots
on the sand. He put away his longbow and took out his two-handed sword. Lets start!

Knowing what he was thinking, ThornyRose glared at him. He looked like a football player
that was going for a 40 yard touchdown. She quickly said: Youre not allowed to touch the
chest.

SpyingBlade and FrozenCloud were puzzled. Ye Cang sighed and seriously said: Dont keep
nagging, lets go.

Nag!? ThornyRose lost control of her voice, if he opened the chest, they wouldnt get anything
at all! This was to protect everyones hard work! She sighed deeply, shed just have to keep an
eye on him. Shaking Bear, Frozen Uhh LilDino, were up front. GreenDew focus on
providing support. As for the knight whatever you do, just dont get near the chest. Oh right,
the fishman shaman and fishman sage. SpyingBlade, you take care of the shaman, FrozenBlood
keep an eye on the sage. Everyone else keep up! Charge!
Once she was done speaking, Zhang ZhengXiong took the lead and charged. Ye Cang dragged
his two-handed sword and Lin Le held his enormous axe above his head. They followed closely
behind. FrozenCloud was the fastest, she prepared to block with the tonfa on her left hand and
stored up power on the one in her right. ThornyRose fell behind a bit, splashing through the
water.

GreenDew started casting magic missile.

The fishmen sensed some activity nearby. They were alerted and looked over, but they looked a
bit confused. FrozenCloud took the lead to charge into their ranks, the tonfa in her right hand
smashed into a harpoon holding fishmans chin. Then, in one smooth motion, she turned and did
a kick towards another fishmans head. She had instantly locked two of them down.

Zhang ZhengXiong raised his eyebrows surprised. This LilDino was quite talented. Originally
when he was picking classes, he hesitated for a bit on the grappler, but he figured that a small
team needed a priest, so he decisively chose priest. Although he didnt know much about virtual
reality games, he did have some common sense. He knew that a priest was supposed to be a class
that assisted others (Support). However, he never played like he was a priest. He laughed as he
used his crystal shield and the force of his charge to block 4 fishmen. His expression proud and
unyielding, feeling not the least bit of pressure. He was like a small mountain.

Every time ThornyRose saw Zheng ZhengXiong tanking like a mountain, but with agility and
reflexes like an assassin, she would think about how strong hed be if he was a fighter or
grappler. Even in the four big guilds, hed be among the best. Too bad he was a priest, just what
was he thinking? She felt a touch of pity, he was both a dumbass and a genius. PaleSnow too,
with such accurate and rapid shooting, and that amazing field awareness, he didnt play as a
hunter. Instead he was a knight, a class that made 9 out of 10 people who tried it delete their
characters. As for Lin Le, although a bit slow and weak minded, and his skills are a bit rough,
but he was pretty consistent in battle and often performed these weird attacks. Not to mention his
luck is unnaturally good and that he had a hidden class.

SpyingBlade was also astonished by the oppressive aura Zhang ZhengXiong released as he
tanked. Although ThornyRose also had an aura, but she excelled more in technique and
socializing. This guys oppressive aura was especially unyielding. As for technique, no one could
compare to himself. Just as the chaos of battle started, he jumped off a mossy stone and pounced
on the shaman who was in the middle of casting a spell, tangling them together.

FrozenBlood who was hiding behind ThornyRose, charged towards the fishman sage. Lin Le let
out a battle cry and charged into the middle of ThornyRose, Zhang Zhengxiong and
FrozenCloud. He slammed his axe into the ground activating its ability. A flame attack
appeared, and most of the 10 or so fishmen were hit by the attack, falling over. He then raised his
axe and executed the nearest fishman, sending its head flying.

GreenDew shouted and four magic missiles shot out. They went directly for the fishman sage
that FrozenBlood was keeping busy.
Ye Cang brandished his two-handed sword and attacked a fishman fighter. His sword flashed, as
it stabbed through the head of a fishman that was trying to leave. Without stopping, he slashed at
the fishmen around him that were still regaining their balance. He saw SpyingBlade, who was
keeping the shaman busy. He took out his bow, readied an arrow, aimed and shot; all in one
smooth motion. In a flash, the arrow stabbed into its frog-like eyes causing it to wail out in pain.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, SpyingBlades dagger stabbed towards its heart. The
knife blade stabbed three times before stopping. He turned and looked at Ye Cang who was
standing 10 meters away. Such a fast attack.

FrozenCloud sidestepped and suddenly leaned her shoulder and attacked, hitting the monster to
her left. To her right, she heard an explosion as Lin Les enormous axe chopped down at another
monster. Lin Le pouted and raised his axe to chop down again, splitting the creature into two. It
was like he was chopping fruits and vegetables, but every attack was devastating. FrozenCloud
then saw Zhang ZhengXiong skillfully playing around with a couple fishmen. Now she
understood why Sister Rose would put up with these guys to complete a hidden story quest.

Everyone finished taking care of the fishmen. A whistle sounded out and Ye Cang saw that in the
river was another group rapidly swimming towards them. Another wave is coming! everyone be
careful!

Back up! Lure them onto dry land! ThornyRose shouted while she stabbed her sword into the
neck of the remaining fishman fighter.

Everyone retreated to the shore. Zhang ZhengXiong had his back to a rock and said: Me and
Lele will keep the fighters busy, everyone else quickly finish off the shaman and the sage.

FrozenCloud was confused. Although Lin Le had an aoe knockdown, it wouldnt be able to hold
them back for long. What else did they have up their sleeves?

Ill restrict Ye Cang stopped talking mid sentence. He could see further than the others. He
saw that one of the shamans was bigger than the rest. Identify!

Blue Scaled Elder Shaman - Bartolia (Rare Elite)

They have a rare elite grade shaman!! Ye Cang frowned. It just became troublesome.

LilDino and I, as well as SpyingBlade will keep him busy. Well do our best to interrupt his
magic. Shaking Bear! You guys finish off the small ones as fast as possible. GreenDew,
FrozenBlood, you two two take the fishman sage. Kill him right away! PaleSnow, provide
support from a distance! You can decide the priority yourself! ThornyRose shouted and
arranged everyone.
Chapter 36: Whirlwind Strike
ThornyRose brought FrozenCloud and SpyingBlade out from behind the big rock and started to
move. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le circled around and started battling from the side. Ye Cang
found a spot where he had a good view and the forest was protecting his back. From here,
everyone was in his longbows sniping range. He drew an arrow and shot it at the fishman sage.

Lele, how long till your axes fire attack? Zhang ZhengXiong looked at Lele who was right
beside him and asked.

15 minutes. Lin Le said and Zhang ZhengXiong nodded. They probably wont have time to
use it. Good thing he still had the rings flash. They also had their secret weapon, the Minor
Flame Flask. Lele, get a molotov ready, well be using it soon.

Mm! Lin Le nodded his head. In Ricas general store, they had used the red slimes oil and
made 14 Minor Flame Flasks. Ye Cang took 6 bottles, the other two took 4 each. Besides the
Minor Flame Flask, they also used the blood replenishing herb to make 12 Knockoff Small
Health Potions. Ye Cang only took 3. Zhang ZhengXiong as the tank, was more likely to use
them so he took 6. The remaining 3 went to Lin Le.

Watching the rushing fishman fighters and assassins; Zhang ZhengXiong roared, attracting all
their attention towards himself. He lowered his stance, his shield held in front of him, and his
right hand tightly gripped his machete. He faced the frontmost fishman fighter and deflected the
incoming harpoon to the side. His machete ferociously chopped down on the fishmans neck. Lin
Le brandished his axe, performing a heavy strike, killing it.

ThornyRose, FrozenCloud, and SpyingBlade circled around to get to the Blue Scaled Elder
Shaman.

Bartolia was caught unprepared by the threes charge, his two hands just started to manipulated a
thread of water.

FrozenCloud, SpyingBlade, dont let him use it! ThornyRose said knowing that FrozenCloud
and SpyingBlade would arrive before her.

FrozenCloud stomped off the ground, her speed increasing by quite a bit, rushing to arrive before
the magic completed. Her tonfa smashed onto his chest, knocking him back a bit and interrupting
his magic. SpyingBlade had also hurried over. He was a bit envious, such a good gap closing
skill. He reversed his grip and rapidly stabbed towards where Bartolias heart should be, causing
him to let out a gurgling scream. ThornyRose finally rushed over, her longsword set ablaze as
she thrusted towards his chest, causing a smoking scar. It seems like the fish were weak to fire
damage.

FrozenBloods side also sealed the sages water magic. Under the bombardment of four magic
missiles along with FrozenBloods constant attacks and Ye Cangs arrow, the sage was quickly
slain. Over at Zhang ZhengXiongs side, the fishman fighters and assassins had finally managed
to close the distance and surround the two when they heard the shaman cry out. They tried to
turn back wanting to go help him but Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le quickly cooperated and
blocked their escape route.

Zhang ZhengXiong saw that he only had half his health left. Although he could still hold on, the
fishmen had gone berserk and were attacking like a storm. His ring flashed and he backed up a
step. Seeing them randomly swinging their weapons around, he took out his molotov and roared:
Bro!

Ye Cang pulled out his own molotov. Lin Le had already prepared one. Ye Cang took the lead
and from a long distance, he accurately threw it into their midst. The flask shattered and the oil
spread onto many of them, setting them ablaze. Lin Le and Zhang ZhengXiong also threw theirs.
The fishmen were all more or less burning and screaming.

Lin Le suddenly charged. He brandished his axe, performing a wide swing, hitting multiple
fishmen, but he couldnt control his strength. Being dragged by the weight of his axe, he started
to spin, performing a full rotation and again slashing many fishmen. He sensed that he was still
out of control. While feeling dizzy and about to fall, he managed to control his axe again and
used the inertia to raise it high, and performed a heavy strike.

Zhang ZhengXiong and Ye Cang looked at the aftermath of Lin Les attack. Tens of fishmen
fighters were lying there destroyed. The final fishman that had been hit by the vertical chop was
cut in half.

Lin Le ferociously patted his chest and said: So dangerous. I almost fell and embarrassed
myself. This axe is a bit too heavy

Eh!? The system says I learned a middle grade battle skill Whirlwind Strike? Lin Le
doubtfully said

Zhang ZhengXiong and Ye Cang were speechless. That works!?

Whirlwind Strike (Middle Grade Battle Skill - Beginner Level): Store up power and perform a
spinning attack, hitting surrounding enemies twice, each dealing 115% damage. Afterwards,
using the power of your spin, perform a heavy strike on a single target for 185% damage. Can
still move while spinning. Cost: 30 rage. Cooldown: 30 seconds. (Must have a heavy weapon to
use. Shares a cooldown with heavy strike.)

Such a powerful ability, but it was a bit slow. Moreover, after using it you had to stop in place.
But in a crowd, this was a devastating ability. Zhang ZhengXiong thought: *, Bro and Lele both
managed to learn an active skill. All I have is some ring of light, a low grade passive skill that
applies pressure to the surrounding enemies and reduces their stats or something. A trash skill. I
want a strong attacking skill! He raised his hand and slashed down at one of the fishmen who
didnt die. It was so burned up that it smelled like roasted fish. Between him and Lin Le, they
quickly managed to finish off the stragglers.
ThornyRose checked up on FrozenBlood for a moment and saw they were finished. She then
looked over at the fire and thought of the Minor Flame Flask blueprint. Damn! She forgot that
they could make them! They hid them and didnt share!

SpyingBlade was also amazed. They finished the battle so quickly? Just the two of them?

At this time, the shaman who had been beaten pretty badly, raised his two hands which were
glowing with a blue, watery light, and shot out a jet of water, catching the three near him
unprepared. They were sent flying a few meters away and lost quite a bit of health.

I was careless Its an instant cast spell. ThornyRose rolled over and crawled up. She saw
that the shaman had taken this time to quickly chant a spell and a protective dome of water
surrounded him. Damn, they had let him set up his defense. The three of them didnt dare
carelessly approach because they werent sure if they had enough health to survive the next spell.

The shaman continued to chant and the barrier of water thickened. GreenDews magic missiles
shot over and smashed onto it, but it only made four holes in the water barrier. Along with the
chant, the barrier started to repair itself. Just at this moment, four arrows shot out, going through
the four holes that hadnt closed yet. One of them managed to hit Bartolias big frog like eye,
causing him to scream out in pain. The water barrier dispersed and fell to the ground.

A chance! The three people who were sent flying rushed back and launched a storm of violent
attacks. FrozenBlood had also rushed over after killing the sage. Even Lin Le and Zhang
ZhengXiong were on their way over.

Look at my new skill! Leles Big Windmill! Lin Le happily roared. He was excited to try his
new skill on a boss. His rage was full from killing so many fishmen, so he immediately activated
berserk. His two hands began to glow red, while he charged at the boss like a violent little bull
wanting to join in before the fight ended. Running beside him, Zhang ZhengXiong suddenly
stopped. He looked at the people surrounding the boss and thought of Lin Les new skill. Its the
perfect setup for an accident.

I hope theres no casualties Ye Cang murmured. He sent a private message to Zhang

ZhengXiong: Who do you think will be sent back to town?

Zhang ZhengXiong.
Chapter 37: Minor Healing Stream
ThornyRose looked towards Lele who was charging over dragging his enormous axe. When he
had almost arrived, she saw him preparing to use a skill, and it was a AOE attack! F**k! Theres
no time to dodge! She quickly raised her shield. Clang~! She was almost sent flying, but she
managed to stabilize herself about two meters away, her shield hand feeling numb. Damn, even
after blocking it, she had still lost 15 health!

FrozenBlood ducked, sticking close to the ground. SpyingBlade was lucky, he was far enough
away that he could step back to avoid it. The axe missed him by just a hair. FrozenCloud quickly
raised her left tonfa to block. Her position was bad, she had no way to get away, and she didnt
have time to stabilize herself. She was directly sent flying away, with only 2 health left. She took
a sharp breath, feeling suffocated. She survived the boss but was almost killed by her teammate.

The Blue Scaled Elder Shaman was hit by the two sweeping spins and fell over. ThornyRose
watched the powerful vertical chop that followed. FrozenBlood saw the shaman that had fallen
right beside her, as well as the falling axe. She frantically rolled away, not caring about
appearances. As for the shaman that wanted to also roll away, he was shot by an arrow and
nailed into the ground. The enormous axe let out a red glow as it smashed down to execute the
shaman. FrozenBlood saw the axe that had just missed her by a few centimeters. Beside her was
the upper half of the fishman shaman. She looked terrified as she thought of what would happen
to a squishy assassin like her if she was hit.

Congratulations. Youve killed the rare elite Bluescaled Fishman Elder Shaman - Bartolia.
Received 400 experience.

Haha~! Isnt my new skill strong? Lin Le posed heroically with his enormous axe, his chin
proudly held high, as he laughed.

What responded was FrozenBloods furious scream. She had just gotten up after having almost
died. ThornyRose smiled bitterly, and FrozenClouds mind was in chaos, starting to regret
accepting this mission.

SpyingBlade nodded his head approvingly.

Zhang ZhengXiong sighed. Then he remembered something and saw a silhouette rush by.
GreenDews voice sounded out: Sister Rose! The unlucky one is almost at the body!!

ThornyRose and FrozenBlood who was thinking of how theyd remonstrate Lele immediately
panicked. Being in this team was so tiring. They couldnt relax even after killing a boss, because
there was a teammate with god level unluckiness that could waste all your efforts. Worst of all,
for some reason, he loved looting. They quickly turned around and saw that Ye Cang was
already almost at the corpse. ThornyRose sighed as she dived to intercept him again. But this
time she wouldnt let him take advantage of her. What she performed was a flying kick, going
legs first. This time FrozenBlood also reacted and dived over. ThornyRoses leg was tangled by
FrozenBloods body and the two of them fell in a mess. Again. Ye Cangs hand landed on the
other 36E and their lips locked. The two of them rolled and stopped with him above and her
below. Everyone froze looking at the scene.

Sister Rose sacrificed herself again for the team. I really admire her Zhang ZhengXiong had
the urge to salute her. FrozenClouds mouth was hanging wide open, shocked. FrozenBlood
thought the two must have been enemies in their past life as well as husband and wife.
Otherwise, how could they have such terrible luck. Their relationship was obviously fated to get
worse and worse.

So embarrassing Lin Le grimaced, making FrozenBlood, GreenDew and FrozenCloud gasp

in amazement. How can he not read the mood. Almost killing his teammates earlier, then spitting
out such a childish line at this moment.

It really is a bit inappropriate right now SpyingBlade slowly nodded and said coldly.
FrozenBlood made a sour face at him. Great he was weird too.

ThornyRose finally reacted. Her face blushed bright red. She felt Ye Cangs hand on her right
breast and quickly pushed him away.

Ye Cang raised his eyebrows and examined his hand. He meticulously said: Your right side
feels a bit smaller. You should watch your diet

Slap~!

Perverted lowlife! F**king Bastard!!

FrozenBlood quickly went up to pull her back in order to stop her from showing the ugly violent
side of herself and destroying her image. Seeing the image of a violent bear behind ThornyRose,
she quickly said: Calm down. Your image

Im just telling the truth Ye Cang wanted to continue speaking but FrozenBlood glared at
him with a Do you want to die? expression. He turned around and sighed, everyone could see a
bright handprint on his face.

Lin Le shrugged and looted the boss. SpyingBlade frowned, wondering why ThornyRose didnt
just loot the corpse before Ye Cang. If it wasnt just to prevent the knight from looting, then was
it to let this Lele loot?

Brother LilWhite! We got a skillbook! Theres also an apprentice something Lin Le said,
catching everyones attention. GreenDew swiftly ran over. She was in such a rush that she
tripped and fell on her face partway.

Ye Cang arrived beside Lin Le and took the loot. A skillbook, and the other was a caster class
offhand item.
Minor Healing Stream (Rare - Fishman Language): Chant 3 phrases (about 2 seconds) to enchant
a target with water magic. Every 3 seconds, heal 2 health. Lasts 15 seconds. (The duration and
potency is affected by Intelligence, Wisdom, and Spell Power stat.) Cooldown: 10 seconds. Cost:
6 mana. Requirements: 12 Intelligence, Fishman Language.

Apprentices Tome (Excellent - Rare)

Category: Offhand Item

Requirements: 15 Intelligence

+2 Intelligence

Apprentices Tome: Activate to fire a random low level magic. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

Its actually a recovery spell and a caster offhand!? ThornyRose lost a bit of her wrath and paid
more attention to the items. But what was this fishman language? She snatched the offhand and
skillbook. The tome goes to GreenDew, no objections, right?

Ye Cang thought a bit and said: Actually, I can use it

GreenDew and ThornyRose both glared at him.

Actually, Im fine with my sword Ye Cang nodded, showing he understood. SpyingBlade

was also fine with anything.

This skillbook GreenDew, Shaking Bear, can you two learn it? ThornyRose continued to
distribute the next time.

GreenDew shook her head. It says I dont know the fishman language.

Zhang ZhengXiong also shook his head. I also dont know the fishman language, and my
intelligence is too low.

ThornyRose frowned. Could no one learn it? It would be such a waste. Did they have to look for
clues about the fishman language? Thats such a waste of time, and they might not even find
anything.

Umm, actually I know a bit of the fishman language. It says I can learn it. When the boss died,
it even yelled out a certain four letter word Ye Cang said while showing off the handprint on
his face, reminding her.

Everyone froze. SpyingBlade and FrozenCloud didnt know, but ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, and
GreenDew did. His hidden race actually starts with these useless languages? ThornyRose was
reminded of the scene earlier as well as that time at the volcano. Her face became red again. Both
her left and right were touched by that cursed hand, would she become unlucky too? She quickly
shook her head and thought: What nonsense am I thinking about? This revenge is definitely not
over! Just you wait perverted lowlife! After this hidden story quest, youll have to pay for your
crimes!
Chapter 38: Double Strike
ThornyRose sighed, and couldnt stop frowning. This perverted knight had such high
Intelligence? His Strength was also not bad, his Dexterity was high enough to use that bow, she
didnt know about his Wisdom, but his Constitution was at least at the level of an assassin. Just
how did he have so many points? Trying to calculate it, she was a few points short. GreenDews
Intelligence was only 22 points, with the tome it would be 24. How many times can you use the
spell with your mana?

About 7 times. Ye Cang shrugged.

ThornyRose nodded without saying a word. Its not bad, although not as good as a specialist.
This knight sure made ones heart hurt. Who would imagine, the first person to get a healing
spell would be a knight, and the best equipped tank would be a priest. She rubbed her forehead,
feeling a headache coming. She felt like she was cheated.

Ye Cang began harvesting the materials. He got: Blue Scaled Fishman Foam, Blue Scaled
Fishman Meat, Blue Scaled Fishman Eyes, Blue Scaled Fishman Scale, and the Elder Shaman
dropped an extra walnut sized monster core.

Small Monster Core: A crystal that forms in creatures that know magic. It possesses mana. Can
be added to cooking after grinding it into powder. (PS: Be careful, its poisonous in large
quantities~)

SpyingBlade raised his eyebrows surprised. A gathering skill?

Ye Cang saw a fishman sage not far away. He walked towards it, looted it and smiled. Who
says I never get anything. He held up half an aquatic plant.

Half-Eaten Seaweed: A Half-Eaten piece of chewed up seaweed.

Everyone looked over. ThornyRose was surprised, he actually found something?

Thud~ Ye Cang tossed it onto the ground, and angrily went back to taking apart the corpses.

ThornyRose curiously walked up to have a look. She picked up the piece of seaweed and
giggled. She couldnt help but mock: Wow, so good. So your luck is really not bad. You finally
found something and its

Humph~, just you wait, one day. Ye Cang glared at her, then lost interest. He then
remembered that there was still a treasure chest. He leaned down like a sprinter ready to take off
and quietly asked SpyingBlade: Where is that chest!?

SpyingBlade pointed at the big stone near the first group of fishmen. Theres a small recess
over there. There are often chests hidden in places like that.
The moment Ye Cang heard it, his right foot kicked off the ground and he dashed. Not good!
ThornyRose thought. This bastard is going to get it! She quickly tackled him over and
straddled him. She ended up sitting on his butt. It could be considered fairly intimate contact.
Lele, open the chest!

Mm Lin Le nodded and jogged over with his big axe.

SpyingBlade didnt say anything, he noticed that Leles rate of obtaining items was especially
good. He seemed to be the kind of guy that often bested probability. Although hed only seen it
once, but SpyingBlade understood this thing called luck. He nodded, thinking it was a very
rational choice.

Zhang ZhengXiong sighed and thought: My job has been stolen by Sister Rose. Hah~ Why
arent I unlucky like that. Hah~ He sighed again and said towards GreenDew who was beside
him. LilGreen, Im actually just as unlucky as my Bro. Next time I try to loot the boss, can you
stop me?

Get lost! GreenDew glared at him ferociously. FrozenBlood found it both humorous and sad,
this Shaking Bear She turned to look at ThornyRose and Ye Cang and couldnt hold back her
smile

Release me! Treasure chest! My treasure chest!! Ye Cang crawled forwards like a zombie,
wanting to get to the chest. ThornyRose felt his madness and perseverance, and firmly
suppressed him. Ye Cang then angrily rolled over, but when he did so, things became awkward.
Lin Le looked back, but didnt dare look straight at them. Everyone else felt that it was a bit too
inappropriate.

My bro sure is amazing, jumping past first base, second base, third base and now hes reached
home. But it was a bit too wild doing it out here Zhang ZhengXiong looked at their position
and felt both sorrow and reverence.

FrozenBlood and GreenDew nodded unconsciously. Just how fated were these two?

Wow, Sister Rose youre so open. And here I thought you and my sister were lesbian
FrozenCloud mumbled.

Times sure have changed, hah the hypocrisy of the world. SpyingBlade sighed as he looked
at the river, disappointed.

As for the people involved, ThornyRose froze. Ye Cang also froze. The two looked at each other.
Ye Cang looked a bit embarrassed, he wiggled his waist to remind her. Still not getting up!!

ThornyRose felt movement down there and snapped out of her daze. She blushed so hard her
head started smoking. Feeling everyones gaze on her, she quickly jumped up. She really wanted
to jump into the river and return to town. Taking a deep breath, she thought: Im a leader. Its
just a small spectacle, nothing more. With a red face, she quickly changed the subject. Its just
a little accident, dont overthink it. Lele, what did you find!?

Oh, Sister Rose, Brother LilWhite, the chest had 5 gold and a skillbook. Let me see Double
Strike Lin Le opened the chest and shouted.

Double Strike (Common - Beginner Level): Quickly launch two attacks, each dealing 75%
damage. Each hit can trigger on hit effects. Cost: 10 Rage or 10 Energy. Cooldown: 15 seconds.

ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, SpyingBlade and FrozenCloud were all excited. Whether its the
gold or the skill, if it were some other game, it would be trash and thrown to rot somewhere, but
here, it could even be more useful than some rare skills. It was one of the essential skills for any
close combat class. In this party, only GreenDew wouldnt want it.

ThornyRose frowned, there would be a lot of competition for this book. Although it might not be
useful in the future, but in the current stage of the game, it would be a big boost. Its cooldown
was not long, its damage was pretty good, and its cost could be considered low. Whether its
using rage or energy, it was very practical. For example, if she used it together with her swords
Flame Strike, it would deal a massive amount damage.

Everyone had different thoughts. Ye Cang didnt actually want it that much. He was both a
melee and ranged attacker. Give him some distance and hell shower you with arrows using rapid
shot. Once in melee, he had straight thrust. However, it wouldnt hurt to have more.

FrozenBlood thought that she currently had too few skills, and this was something she could use.
But if they didnt roll for it, it would be most effective to give it to Lin Le, after that would be
Sister Rose. Lin Les attack was definitely the strongest, there was no room for dispute. If he
were to get this skill, combined with the new skill he just got, his berserk ability and his amazing
weapon, then his damage would definitely be unbeatable at this stage in the game.

Theoretically, heavy weapon users should deal the most damage. Although they had their own
drawbacks like speed, but if used skillfully, it would have great effects. The once proclaimed
strongest in the world, the fearless war god - Solas Angelite was that kind of terrifying guy. The
countless battles hes been in are now classics, but the most famous was his battle at the world
finals. His teammates werent careful and fell into a trap. They were all eliminated. He was the
only one left. It was like he was facing a mountain, but he didnt feel discouraged whatsoever.
He arrogantly raised his signature gigantic warhammer and smiled with disdain.

Six athletes at the peak of their country were fighting this one guy, and they were all ruthlessly
steamrolled. The last one standing was a man who made others shiver in fear because of his
imposing presence and that peerless god-like power. Even now, just looking at pictures of that
moment would make ones whole body feel numb. For those who encounter his attack, they only
have two choices: Dodge and die later or die now. His life was now a legend, receiving the fame
and glory of an emperor. To this day, in Englands gamer alliance headquarters public square,
players could still look up and see the sculpture of him holding his axe high.
Chapter 39: Lin Les Might
FrozenCloud also really wanted the skill. Her own dual tonfa was quite fast already, but a skill is
in the end still a skill, it surpassed what your body and comprehension can do naturally. Having
double strike would increase the amount of attack patterns she could do.

Zhang ZhengXiong was thinking: I, your father still dont have a combat skill! I will definitely
get it! Double strike, although it sounds sort of lame, but good or bad, its still a skill!

Lin Le didnt really think about it or more like he didnt care. He was thinking about world peace
and hoping that his friends: brother LilWhite, brother LilXiong, Nana, and AXin could all live
happily. He wished so hard that he started to stare into space blankly.

ThornyRose took the loot from Lin Le who was zoned out. She split the gold in half and gave 2
gold and 50 silver to Ye Cang, trying hard not to slap his other cheek as she handed it over. She
sighed as she said: You can split this among your group.

Ye Cang nodded, he took the gold and directly put it in his pocket. FrozenCloud saw that neither
Zhang ZhengXiong or Lin Le seemed to mind, so she didnt say anything either. Afterall, she
had just joined.

ThornyRose gave SpyingBlade his share, then looked at the skillbook in her hand. What about
the book Should we auction or roll? What do you all think?

Bro, I want that skillbook. I still dont have an active skill Zhang ZhengXiong whispered.
FrozenCloud also followed: I need it too

Theres no way either of you will win it. But once we obtain it, you two can discuss who gets
it. Ye Cang shrugged. He looked over at ThornyRose and said Auction.

ThornyRose nodded and looked at SpyingBlade: What about you?

Roll. SpyingBlade knew that if they auctioned it, he would have no chance.

ThornyRose also didnt want to waste gold on this skill, and Ye Cangs group was too rich.
Then lets roll, everyone who can use it roll.

Ye Cang coldly smiled and humphed. He made a throwing motion and rolled a 1. He froze and
asked: Can we try again?

Hell no ThornyRose said, in a bad mood. Just how unlucky was this guy. She rolled a 73,
which wasnt bad but was still dangerous.

Spying blade threw and got a 64. He sighed, now he was out.

FrozenCloud quickly threw her dice. It stopped on 76.

Now it was FrozenCloud who was highest. ThornyRose faintly smiled. FrozenCloud was on her
side, if she gets it then its still not bad.

Zhang ZhengXiong shook his fist and threw a 91. He laughed out brightly: Haha~ Sorry
everyone.

ThornyRose grit her teeth. Why is a priest fighting over a skill with fighters, assassins and
grapplers? She sighed. Beside her, FrozenBlood casually threw her dice. Everyone looked at the
number, and it was actually a 95!

Good job! ThornyRose crossed her arms, feeling pleased. She saw Ye Cang making a bitter face.

At this time Lin Le woke up from his wish-making. He saw everyone rolling and shouted out:
Hah!! A red 100 appeared before everyones eyes.

ThornyRose looked at Lin Le. Last time he rolled, he also got 100!

Good job Lele! Ye Cang reached out and pet Lin Le.

ThornyRose doubtfully looked at Lin Le. Lele, trying rolling again.

Lin Le casually threw and got 99. He pouted: Its only 99, I dont want it! Ill try again! Hah~!
100 appeared again.

Lin Le nodded satisfied. Thats better.

ThornyRose and SpyingBlade simultaneously gasped. Whats with his f**king rolls!

Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong couldnt stop laughing. When he played Ludo1, he always
rolled a 6. No one could be his opponent. Following this train of thought, Lele would definitely
have become LinHais Ludo emperor if he hadnt won too much candy and made too many kids
cry, making him feel bad and quit. He could have been famous now for his Ludo ability. Theres
a saying among the Ludo enthusiasts: The great emperor of ludo stands high. Nothing but sixes
are worthy of his eye. In one go he will break through to the sky. Finishing the game in record
time!

Everyone inwardly decided. They will never roll on loot against Lin Le! This was a human
shaped dice monster!!

Looking at Ye Cangs smug but calm smile, ThornyRose really wanted to pounce over and tear
his face off. This perverted lowlife! FrozenBlood looked at ThornyRoses expression and sighed.
Hah~ those three guys really get on peoples nerves. A knight who is unlucky as can be, a
fighter who is impossibly lucky, and a tank that is much too skillful but is actually a priest!

Lin Le took the skillbook and generously gave it to Zhang ZhengXiong. Brother LilXiong, for
you. LilDino, Ill get you one next time!
FrozenCloud stared blankly and nodded like a little chick. She hoped a heavenly skill would drop
next, it has to!

Cough~ Cough~ in the future, lets either auction or give it to the person who can use it most
effectively. ThornyRose said somewhat awkwardly. She thought to herself: You think there
will be a next time! Next your sister! This magic dice of yours, who would dare roll against
you!?

SpyingBlade thought that it must be a bug. He couldnt help but chip in. I agree.

But I think rolling is more fair. Everyone gets a chance and there wont be disputes. Ye Cang
said very seriously.

Dont mess with me ThornyRose looked at Ye Cang who looked like he was very seriously
advising the team. Furthermore, what he was saying was the same thing the big guilds would
say. It was the most impartial method. But thats under normal circumstances. She grit her teeth
so hard, everyone could hear it.

Actually, after thinking it over, what you say makes sense. Ok Ye Cang felt she was going to
explode, and thought for a second before nodding to her and agreeing.

Lele, LilDino, AXiong, its fine. Were rich. They cant out-bet us. Ye Cang whispered to
the three with a smile.

Mm! Lin Le replied without paying attention. Zhang ZhengXiong quietly whispered: Bro,
after the mission, lets exchange the gold bar and gold ring for coins.

Gold bar? Gold ring!? They have a gold bar!? FrozenCloud was astonished.

Keep the ring, it might have some use. We can exchange the gold bar. LilDino, since youre
one of us now, just tell me if you want anything. Ye Cang said earnestly and patted her
shoulder.

ThornyRoses and FrozenBloods ears twitched. They happened to hear the keyword. Gold bar!?
They sneakily approached, pretending to converse with each other.

FrozenCloud rolled her eyes and looked at Zhang ZhengXiong and Ye Cangs hands on her
shoulder and thought: They really dont treat me as a girl at all. She sighed and weakly said:
About that Im not

I know what youre thinking. Youre not worthy of us treating you so well, but since youve
joined us, were now teammates! Companions! Right? Since Lele chose you, then youre
definitely not some evil person. Ye Cang smiled, seeing her feeble appearance.

Nobody with evil intentions can escape my two eyes! Lin Le said righteously as his ahoge
circled around like a radar.
 FrozenCloud rolled her eyes. Those three guys They didnt even know she was a spy
here just to fill the numbers.

So dont feel bad. Cheer up! Not all attractive people are attractive inside. Maybe their hearts
are as ugly as pus. To have a beautiful companion, even if shes ugly on the outside, is still
something great! Ye Cang held her shoulders firmly, giving her an encouraging squeeze.
FrozenCloud felt a bad taste in her mouth. She remained silent, slightly moved. Originally, all
she wanted to say was: Im not called LilDino

1: Ludo
Chapter 40: LilDino is Touched
Its not a problem. LilDino, stick your chest out and smile. Face the cruel reality head on!
Zhang ZhengXiong seized her shoulder, encouraging her.

Lin Le nodded, making two fists. Mm! You can do it! Well support you!

Ive decided! With the money we earn, we can save a bit to get LilDino plastic surgery. Then
she can be as beautiful outside as she is inside. The outside can be easily changed, but an ugly
heart is hard to change. Ye Cangs words made Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le nod. Mm!

FrozenCloud remained as silent as a corpse that got hit by a car and left at the side of the road.
She thought: God dammit, Im not ugly! That isnt even my picture! Although Im not the
prettiest girl in the capital, but Im still popular! However, her heart was still a little moved.
Even though they barely knew each other, they still believed in her, approved of her, and treated
her like a brother. To keep up the act, she let her moved feelings show and said in a weak voice:
Team leader, Brother Xiong, Lele, you guys

LilDino! Dont cry! Hold it in! Zhang ZhengXiong shouted as he held her shoulder tightly.

Were already companions Ye Cang reached out a hand and pet her head.

Mm! Lin Le smiled cutely.

FrozenCloud heard the threes encouragements. Her head was a mess, as she looked
towards the sky. Sister Rose, the mission you gave me is too hard. These three are too
terrifying

ThornyRose and FrozenBlood who were eavesdropping, and GreenDew who had just joined
them heard it. Their feelings were in chaos. These three guys

Your sisters acting is really good, she didnt even hesitate to sacrifice her image
ThornyRose sighed and quietly said.

FrozenBlood slightly nodded. This little girl was good. Going over to the other side, she actually
pretended to be an ugly girl to win their trust. Speak of sacrificing her image, she glanced
towards ThornyRose and thought: You sure you should be saying that?

So touching SpyingBlade sheathed his dagger and murmured enviously.

ThornyRose and the girls looked at him strangely. They should keep their distance from this guy
too.
Ok, everyone heal up and well continue. AXiong, get the fire. For LilDinos welcoming
party, Ill treat everyone to something good Ye Cang clapped and announced. Then he took
out his steel pot. Zhang ZhengXiong hesitated a bit. Were they eating the monstrous bird!? He
quickly started the fire.

Lin Le thought of eating the monstrous bird and was a little excited.

GreenDew suddenly stepped back, covering her mouth. ThornyRose made a complicated
expression. FrozenBlood acted like she had just met her worst enemy, her hands were slightly
shivering. FrozenCloud helped out Zhang ZhengXiong. Seeing the other girls expression, she
quickly readied her tonfas and looked around. Where was the enemy!? There was nothing
around.

SpyingBlade was doubtful. He looked towards Ye Cang and thought: No wonder they level so
fast. Culinary profession?

Ye Cang took a deep breath. Like an experienced chef, he took out the materials from the elder
shaman and threw the meat and head in. SpyingBlade was stunned. This guys cooking was so
fierce.

The three girls already felt like throwing up.

Brother LilWhite, were not eating the monstrous bird? Lin Le pouted bitterly.

This will be even better! Ye Cang confidently smiled, then he took out what looked like the
remains of a human hand and threw it in.

Dont tell me thats human flesh!! ThornyRose felt her whole body go numb. At first she
thought he was making it disgusting on purpose. Then she realised, he had to eat it too.

Nope, it was werewolf meat. The system said it was edible. Ye Cang shrugged while still
concentrating on cooking. He threw in Vyers head and a wolf heart.

ThornyRose heard it wasnt human flesh and felt better. Then she made a strange expression.
Fishman and Werewolf stew? Just thinking about it was disgusting. This bastard was too f**king
talented at making disgusting food.

Cooking is choosing ingredients that balance each other Ye Cang continued to concentrate
as he spoke. He then took out some green slime gel and red slime gel, as well as some eyes and
threw them in. Zhang ZhengXiong saw the double slime stew and gasped. He was starting to
regret letting him learn from old Wang. Hes already become obsessed with cooking and is
walking the path of evil.

Ye Cang added some wild herbs, salt and pepper as flavoring. Carefully select the spices and
control the fire, then your creation is complete
Congratulations. Youve created a Beginner Level dark recipe. Received 150 experience. Please
give it a name.

Red Green Slime With Werewolf and Fishman Stew.

Red Green Slime With Werewolf and Fishman Stew: While eating, heal 4 health every 5
seconds. After eating, gain +2 strength, +2 dexterity, +6 fire resistance and +6 poison resistance
for 2 hours. (This is a pretty good dark recipe, but the taste is a disaster on a whole other level.
Eating it can cause temporary loss of consciousness and other adverse effects.)

Everyone looked at the purple soup with floating eyeballs, the fishman head, an aggrieved
looking werewolf head, as well as a hand which looked like it was reaching out of the pot.
Everyone thought that this was what hell looked like. The smell slowly reached them forcing
them to cover their nose. It smelled like the violent stink of the two stews put together, then add
in the fishy smell of gamey meat taken to the limit. Just smelling it made them feel like throwing
up.

Everyone looked at the hand bobbing in the slowly cooling stew. They were afraid it would
reach out and drag them in. The bubbles popping up also made them feel like someone was
screaming underneath it. Each bubble brought with it a fresh stink. GreenDew felt her whole
body go numb as she begged ThornyRose: Sister Rose, my health is still fine. I dont want to
eat it! I dont want to! Please dont make me!

FrozenBlood looked at the stat bonuses from the stew They were perfect for her. Should she
eat? Looking at the miniature model of hell, her whole body shivered.

Ye Cang looked at his own product and murmured. It doesnt make sense, it looked so good
while I was cooking it. Ill get it right next time

Zhang ZhengXiong speechlessly looked at Ye Cang, his mind a mess. Bro is already
addicted

Lin Le scowled miserable as he looked inside the big pot.

FrozenCloud was stunned. Thats not for eating right!? Even plugging her nose couldnt block
that smell, and it even stings the eyes. She raised her head to look at Ye Cang. She saw him raise
his shivering hand and scratch his head. He sighed sorrowfully and said: LilDino, eating bitter
things will make you a better person.

Hes already talking nonsense! FrozenCloud felt her heart tighten in fear.

SpyingBlade frowned. He, like FrozenBlood, looked at the stats and saw how useful they were.
He took one of the bowls, and served himself a portion. He clenched his teeth and began eating.
His stomach felt like it was burning, and his heart beats weakened. The thick stink and fishy
smell flooded his consciousness, but he endured the torment.
Ye Cang also started eating. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le followed. FrozenCloud froze, they
were really eating it!? She turned her head to look at ThornyRose and saw her nod. FrozenCloud
really wanted to go home. This mission was really too hard. She looked at the guys distorted
faces. At this time, Lin Le, with a face full of suffering, put a full bowl into her hands. He
clenched his teeth and squeezed out the words: LilDino We can get through these difficult
times together

Good Brother Zhang ZhengXiong encouraged with a fierce expression.

You can do it Ye Cang furrowed his brows trying to keep his expression neutral.

FrozenCloud felt the hot gazes of the three. She lowered her head and looked at the thing in her
hands. When did she sign up for this? Just the smell drifting through her plugged nose made her
want to throw up. Eat? Not eat? Such a difficult decision. Her heart gave in and she threw her
caution to the wind. She directly poured it down her throat. A storm of tastes assaulted her
mouth. It wasnt bad. Just bad wasnt enough to describe it anymore. She felt herself go into
shock and the white of her eyes showed.

ThornyRose and FrozenBlood dragged GreenDew, who was acting like she was going to be
executed, over. They shakily took a bowl. Its lucky that theyve eaten the previous stews and
built up a bit of resistance, otherwise eating this thing for the first time, just look at FrozenCloud.
They took a deep breath and suddenly started eating.

GreenDew felt like her fingers would stab into her thigh.
Chapter 41: Blue Scaled Fishman Cave
Everyone fainted for a short time. The first thing they did upon waking was to stick a finger in
their throats but none of them managed to puke the stew out.

Ye Cang calmly got up, wiped his mouth, and stored the remaining half of the pot of stew. He
walked up to the distressed FrozenCloud who was covering her mouth. He patted her back
gratefully. LilDino, good job. Youve passed the test.

Zhang ZhengXiong clapped his hands. I knew you could do it LilDino

Lin Le forced a smile on his face. LilDino, congratulations

FrozenCloud, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the three of them and became even
more distressed.

Dont just sit there, lets move while we have the buff. ThornyRose said unhappily.

GreenDew knew there was another half a pot that they hadnt eaten yet. She weakly asked
without forgetting to be polite: Party Leader PaleSnow, that half pot

Well eat it next time we have to heal. Dont worry, there is enough for you too. Ye Cang
answered calmly, making GreenDews heart beat quicken due to fear. She thought to herself:
F**k! The way he says it makes me sound like a glutton!

Everyone got goosebumps hearing that theyd have to eat it again. Even FrozenBlood who had
strong willpower was shivering. ThornyRose asked: You really cant make it taste any better?
Ill settle for bad or really bad. Your food cant even be called food.

Everyone nodded. Even Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le betrayed him and nodded with them.

This time was unexpected. Next time Ill adjust the recipe and it should be better. This is the
body of two elites, dont waste them. Hah~ the art of cooking is so profound, theres always
more to learn. Forget it, you guys wouldnt understand even if I told you Ye Cang spoke like
a lonely master and continued walking along the shallows.

ThornyRose and the girls felt their hearts sink, and chose to remain silent. They looked with
guarded eyes as they yearned to roar out: You have no right to talk about culinary arts!

Everyone took advantage of the Werewolf and Fishman stews buff, and traveled quickly up the
river. They ran into a few waves of fishmen, but they dealt with it skillfully. Lin Les attacks
were super strong attacks. He would use his AOE fire attack to knock the fishmen fighters over
and then he would use his tornado strike, smashing through their ranks like a meat grinder.
ThornyRose couldnt stop her sighs as she thought about Lin Les AOE skills and Ye Cangs
healing stream. Having Zhang ZhengXiong also reduced the pressure on the team.
The three of them made Spyingblade speechless. Although every day they ran into some crazy
situations, but the three of them always agreed on matters. Their teamwork was no less than that
of ThornyRose and FrozenBloods, the famous golden partners of the virtual world. That Shaking
Bears pressure, PaleSnows accuracy, and HappyAndCheerfuls power; the three of them
together made up the most important part of the team. Also that PaleSnow, now that they were
fighting together, he noticed how dangerous he was. That sword strike, the him now had no way
to dodge it. Although he rarely fought in melee, but when he did, his movements were precise
and simple. He felt like a guy that doesnt hold back. As for that FrozenCloud, she showed a lot
of potential. She should be FrozenBloods little sister, that rising star. Could it be that they didnt
know? He really couldnt understand their relationship. Well he was only here for the hidden
story quest, it had nothing to do with him.

After two more sittings to restore health, that taste had already become a shadow in
FrozenClouds heart. The group had arrived at a cave by the water. Standing outside it were
some fishmen guards.

This should be the place, the system already asked if I wanted to enter the instance. Ye Cang
said as he calmly looked at everyone.

Mm. Now that were here, everyone should not hold back. Whatever useful items you have,
take them out. ThornyRose said with her eyes fixed on Ye Cang.

Ye Cang felt her burning gaze. He turned away to look at the sky and lazily said: So blue

Mm, it is Lin Le also raised his head to looked up.

ThornyRose rolled her eyes. Only his group could have some good consumables, because Lele
was a hidden class. Although she didnt know which one, but it definitely had something to do
with alchemy. Seeing them play dumb, she clenched her teeth: Damn lowlife! Well buy it at
market value.

This is a Minor Flame Flask, and this one is a Small Health Potion, 10 silver each. Ye Cang
quickly went to Lin Le and Zhang ZhengXiong, and pulled out some things. For the hidden story
quest, they would have distributed it anyways. But since they could earn a bit, then might as
well.

SpyingBlade and FrozenCloud were amazed when they saw the stats. These guys were still
holding onto such good stuff?

ThornyRose raised her eyebrows, 10 silver was a bit expensive, more importantly, coins were
just too rare. However, these things were absolutely worth the price. She already knew about the
Minor Flame Flasks, cause she was there when the recipe dropped. What surprised her was that
they even had Small Health Potions. How many do you guys have?

12 Small Health Potions, 11 Minor Flame Flasks. Ye Cang checked then reported.
For the Healing Potions, we want 4. Ill take two, Shaking dog should take 3, everyone else can
have one each. Ill also take 4 of the Flame Flasks. Can I pay in federal dollars? ThornyRose
asked. Now that coins were rare, if she could save it, she would.

Ye Cang shook his head. Right now he didnt need any federal dollars.

ThornyRose sighed but didnt argue. She took out 80 silver coins and handed them over.

SpyingBlade didnt hesitate, he directly took out 20 silver and got one each. After they finished
distributing them all, Ye Cang had 2 flame flasks, Zhang ZhengXiong also had two, and Lin Le
and FrozenCloud had one each.

Since were all ready, lets go in and finish as soon as possible. ThornyRose reminded.

Ye Cang nodded. He turned and entered the cave, starting the instance.

Everyone followed closely behind. The cave was exceptionally damp and there was the
occasional sound of water dripping. They lit their torches and followed the passage wall
forwards. The long and narrow passage eventually opened up into a spacious cavern. They could
hear some grumbling, then suddenly, a few robust looking fishmen holding harpoons charged
over.

Three fishmen warriors, all elite grade. They said: I want these invaders dead! Ye Cang raised
his bow and an arrow instantly shot out.

Fishman Warrior (Elite): Elite guards of the fishmen.

Go! Hold them back! ThornyRose, Zhang ZhengXiong and FrozenCloud ran up to welcome
them. SpyingBlade, FrozenBlood and Lin Le followed behind them. They had already fought a
few battles together so they knew what to do. GreenDew began casting her spell.

A violent arrow shot forwards and hit one of the fishmen warriors in the eye, causing it to roar
out in pain. Ye Cang continued to translate: He said Aaaahhhh, it hurts!

ThornyRose was speechless. What was he doing! Her longsword set ablaze and slashed towards
the one injured by Ye Cang. FrozenCloud crossed her tonfas to block a harpoon coming from the
right and then attacked with her knees. Lin Le went up to support her, his battle axe swung and
chopped at its neck. The axe hit its chest instead, leaving a deep gash.
Chapter 42: Perverted Lowlife
Zhang ZhengXiong raised his shield and directly crashed into the middle one. He deflected the
harpoon and, using the rage he just accumulated, raised his machete to performed two rapid
strikes on the fishmans face.

SpyingBlades dagger stabbed towards the fishmans throat, his dagger was like a brutal shadow,
repeatedly stabbing out. Dodging past the fishman that ThornyRose had injured, FrozenBlood
reverse her grip on her daggers and pounced on the one being assaulted by Zhang ZhengXiong
and SpyingBlade. The three of them worked together to quickly slay the first one.

Ye Cangs arrows, one after the other, accurately stabbed into their weak points. ThornyRose felt
like it was ElegantFragrance behind her, providing her support and accurately shooting just the
right places. She leaned over to allow GreenDews Magic Missiles to pass and took this chance
to look towards Ye Cang. She saw him raise his bow, changing targets to the one attacked by Lin
Le and FrozenCloud. He calmly drew his bow and rapidly shot more arrows. Hah~ how good it
would be if he was a ranged specialized class like the hunter. Examining Zhang ZhengXiong she
felt even more regret, he was this good even as a priest. She then looked back to Ye Cang who
was shooting while simultaneously chanting a spell to heal her, and smiled bitterly.

For example, even now, FrozenCloud thought that Zhang ZhengXiong was a fighter.
SpyingBlade thought he was a paladin because of the shield he had sold them was restricted to
priests and paladins. No matter how he thought about it, there was no way he was a priest, so he
must be a paladin.

After finishing off all three fishmen warriors, Ye Cang shouted: I want to loot one!!

ThornyRose rolled her eyes, couldnt he give it up just once!? She hesitated on whether to let
him loot one or not. This party leader, although he didnt seem like one, was after all the party
leader. But what if the one he looted would have dropped something good? But there was 3 of
them after all, she could still accept losing one. She sighed and said: Just one!

FrozenCloud and SpyingBlade were puzzled. Before, when they killed the fishman elder
shaman, they were already curious. Why were they so desperate to stop him from looting the
corpses and chests?

Ye Cang rubbed his hands and looked towards the three fishmen warriors. Which one should I
pick? Hmmm, lets loot the left one

Ye Cang reached out to loot the corpse, searching it carefully. He raised his eyebrows: Is the
position wrong?

He took the body to another place, putting it on a pile of rocks, and searched it again. Could it
be he was in such a rush to come over that he didnt bring anything with him? Mm! It must be
so, can I loot another one? I can feel a good item coming.
ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, and GreenDew simultaneously glared at him. Get lost

Lin Le went and looted the other two. He took out a leather breastplate and leather glove. Two
fine quality armors dropped.

I knew I picked wrong. The left one was definitely in too much of a hurry. Ye Cang
whispered.

ThornyRose covered her forehead and sighed. She took the items from Lin Le. The breastplate
gives +1 Dexterity, The gloves give +1 Strength.

Lets roll Ye Cang stroked his chin and nodded.

Lin Le took out his dice, ready to go.

Roll your sister! ThornyRose glared at him. 10 silver each, dont maliciously raise the price.
Lets bid.

In the end, Ye Cang paid 15 silver for the chestplate and put it on. Lin Le paid 10 silver for the
gloves, with no one bidding against it, and handed it to FrozenCloud.

The three of them continued further into the cave, running into many groups of fishmen warriors
and fishmen shaman obtaining about a dozen pieces of fine equipment. Besides the Chestplate,
Ye Cang also got new pants. Zhang ZhengXiong got gloves and a helmet, which gave a point of
strength and constitution respectively. Lin Le got 3 new +1 Strength equipment. Everyone had
managed to replace one or two pieces of common equipment with fine quality ones. ThornyRose
was happy to learn that instance quest monsters had high drop-rates. At the same time, Ye Cang
got many fishmen materials, making ThornyRose horrified.

Walking further into the cave, the stones become mor and more wet, and there were less and less
fishmen. After passing some stalactites, the passage started to open up again. The first thing they
saw were stalactites all over the place except for a circle in the middle. Their vision wasnt bad,
they could rely on the orange light shining down from the holes in the ceiling to see. The streams
of water were dyed orange letting everyone know that night was approaching.

In the empty circular patch, Ye Cang squinted and could see 6 fishmen! 1 elite shaman, 1 elite
sage, 3 elite warriors, and behind them all was an alert, giant fishman. Ye Cang guess that it was
at least 4 meters tall. In its hand was a hooked, long blade. Its body was exceptionally buff.

That should be the fishman chief Gil Rage that mayor Mar was talking about. Ye Cang raised his
eyebrows, they still hadnt been discovered yet. Far away, their discussion told him that they
were suspicious of something. He signalled everyone to squat down. This should be the boss.
There are 6 fishmen altogether; 3 warriors, 1 shaman, 1 sage, and the boss - Fishman Chief Gil
Rage. They seem to be alert. The boss said: Theres an intruder! Minions! Be ready!
Everyone glanced at Ye Cang who was imitating the bosss voice and eventually nodded.
SpyingBlade didnt understand. It was so far. Although it wasnt pitch-black, how could he see
so far? He looked at Ye Cang and saw that his silver eyes had a similar glow to that of a
nocturnal animal. He wasnt a pure human? This also explained why he knew the fishman
language.

ThornyRose frowned and thought it over. Before fighting the boss, they should take care of his
minions, especially the shaman and the sage.

Ok, heres what well do. Frozen, Cough~ Cough~ LilDino, you and FrozenBlood take care
of the shaman. Me and SpyingBlade will hold off the fishman chief for as long as we can.
Shaking Bear, you have the hard part, you have to hold back the three fishman warriors. Lele,
you focus on killing the sage, youre the only one that can kill him quickly. Dont be stingy with
your skills, kill him as soon as possible then go help Shaking Bear. GreenDew, use your magic
missiles and wind blade to attack the shaman to help LilDino and FrozenBlood finish him off.
Perverted Lowlife, Cough~ Cough~ PaleSnow, youre in charge of ranged support and
healing. Cast your healing stream on me or Shaking Bear depending on the situation. By all
means, dont mess up, your support is essential. ThornyRose explained the plan. SpyingBlade
listened, impressed. She had come up with a reliable plan in just a few seconds, moreover with
this random party.

Ye Cang had nothing to say about the plan, it was pretty much perfect. I think I heard you call
me Perverted Lowlife?

Oh, everyone get your flame flasks ready. Shaking Bear, take the lead and pull them, get as
much of their attention as possible. You, Lele and FrozenBlood throws yours at the fishmen
warriors. Me and SpyingBlade will throw ours at the boss when the time is right. FrozenCloud
and GreenDew, you two throw yours at the shaman. PaleSnow, take the sage. ThornyRose
ignored Ye Cang and continued explaining.

Umm You definitely called me perverted lowlife earlier. Ye Cang said walking right up to
her face.

Youre imagining things. It was just some random words. Ok, lets fight the boss. Everyone
focus! Thornyrose chose to brush it aside. She wanted to tell him he was a perverted lowlife,
but they were just about to fight a boss. She sighed and squeezed out a smile.

So it was a joke, I knew it. You definitely didnt mean it. Our relationship is still pretty good,
Madam~. Ye Cang poked her with his elbow and teased with a smile.

ThornyRose gnashed her teeth and held back her urge to beat him. The veins on her forhead
visibly throbbed, her smile was stiff, and she forced a hollow laugh: Hehe, Hehe

FrozenBlood and GreenDew rolled their eyes. In their hearts they though: Youre deluding
yourself! She hates you so much shes on the verge of snapping and piercing your ass.
Chapter 43: Battle Against the Blue-Scaled Fishman Chief
Then Ill go first!? Zhang ZhengXiong turned back and looked towards Ye Cang and
ThornyRose for confirmation.

Go. Everyone follow closely and stick to the plan. ThornyRose nodded. Hearing her, Zhang
ZhengXiong took big strides and charged over, everyone following behind him.

They ran along the winding road until the fishmen noticed Zhang ZhengXiong running towards
them.

Ye Cang could now clearly see the fishman chief.

Blue Scaled Fishman Chief - Gil Rage (Rare - Boss)

Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle!1

Chief Gil Rage said: Its those cruel human intruders! Skin them alive! Tonight we eat
barbecued humans! And over there the shaman said he wanted to eat the tall and ugly girl.
Judging by the direction hes pointing, hes probably talking about Sister Rose. Ye Cang ran
while drawing his bow and translating.

F**k off!! ThornyRose roared. She didnt know if he was messing with her or not. She looked
towards the fishman shaman and roared: Icy! Stab him a few extra times for me!

FrozenBlood sighed and didnt reply.

Zhang ZhengXiong jumped and crashed into the three fishman warriors. The sage and shaman
stood not too far away. From behind the three fishment warriors, the chief charged over. Seeing
the sage and shaman casting a spell at him and the three harpoons coming towards him, he
quickly raised his hand and used his rings ability. The light flashed and the spells were
interrupted. Everyone quickly took out their flame flasks, and threw them at their assigned
targets. Fire exploded and the six fishmen were covered in flames causing them to howl in pain.
Zhang ZhengXiong raised his machete and slashed left and right at a fishmans burning head.

FrozenCloud who had rushed over sent a mighty left hook at the fishman shamans chin.
FrozenBloods dagger accurately stabbed into its heart, then continued to fill the shaman with
holes. On the other side, Lin Le looked at the blind, burning fishman sage and suddenly stopped.
He swung his axe bringing about a spurt of blood and a miserable scream. Lin Le spun and sent
another axe strike, saving up his rage. The fishman sage quickly tried to retreat.

Ye Cangs attention was mainly on Zhang ZhengXiong. His arrows accurately shot towards the
fishmen warriors eyes, distracting them. One arrow after another shot out and together with
Zhang ZhengXiong, they held back the fishman fighters.
ThornyRose and SpyingBlade had already started heading towards the chief, but they didnt
manage to make it in time. It had just restored its vision, and waved its long blade. ThornyRose
twisted her body and raise her shield to deflect the attack. The blade slid off the the shield and
slashed into a boulder.

SpyingBlade pounced over from the right, he dagger leaving numerous scars on the chiefs chest.
He didnt dare to stay too long though and quickly turned and retreated. He frowned, its defence
was so high? Noticing an attack coming at him from the corner of his eye, he calmly took a step
back letting it slash past right in front of his nose.

ThornyRose saw SpyingBlade dodge the attack so easily. He had already judged the weapons
range and could dodge so calmly, he really wasnt simple. Hes was just like the rumors: the man
who could pull a tooth from a tigers mouth and escape completely unscathed, the treasure hunter
- SpyingBlade. She quickly activated flamestrike and dealt a large amount of damage.

Ye Cang aimed his bow while casting healing stream. The arrow stabbed into the throat of the
fishman that Lin Le was oppressing. He then made a handsign and finished casting his healing
stream on Zhang ZhengXiong who was steadily losing health. Zhang ZhengXiong didnt hold
anything back, he directly activated his rings 15% damage resistance. His body started glowing
from both the ring and Ye Cangs spell.

Having finished her chant, GreenDew pointed her finger sending 4 magic missiles flying out. It
hit the shaman that FrozenBlood and FrozenCloud had injured, finishing it off. On the other side,
Lin Le activated his weapons ability, sending out a wave of fire, knocking over the fishman sage
that was about to cast a spell. A ferocious chop followed, slaying it and filling up his Rage. He
activated Berserk and charged towards Zhang ZhengXiong. Brother LilXiong! Im coming to
help! Here comes Leles Big Windmill!!

Zhang ZhengXiong panicked. He quickly waved his shield pushing away one of the fishmen and
dived away. Lin Le spun, sweeping into the 3 warriors, dealing massive damage. Then his heavy
strike came, slaying two of them. The remaining one was finished off by Zhang ZhengXiongs
double strike. FrozenCloud and FrozenBlood saw Lin Le finish so they quickly hurried to help
ThornyRose and SpyingBlade..

At this time, the only one left was the fishman chief. Ye Cang readied another arrow and
changed his target while also starting to chant another healing stream. The arrow flew towards
its throat. The chant also finished and he waved his glowing right hand, sending the healing
stream to ThornyRose.

Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le also hurried over. Everyone started to besiege the boss together,
but its outrageous defence made most of them helpless. Lin Le, one of the few who could deal a
good amount of damage, was repeatedly dodged or blocked. It seems the bosss reaction speed
was also extraordinary. He was much stronger than that guy in the volcano if you ignored the
terrifying aoe attacks.
No matter how many times Ye Cang shot, it would be dodged or knocked away by those those
robust arms. He couldnt manage to strike any weak points, he only managed to prick its skin,
not dealing any significant damage. The only one doing better was GreenDew whose magic
missiles hit dealing a good amount of damage.

The fishman chief brandished his long blade, forcing Zhang ZhengXiong and ThornyRose to
retreat. He used the hilt to smash and send FrozenBlood flying away. He then crouched down on
all fours like a frog, looked at GreenDew and sneered.

Not good! Dont let him pass!! ThornyRose raised her shield and prepared herself to block
against a powerful leap, but she was too late. The boss leapt, falling towards GreenDew.
GreenDew quickly interrupted her spell and dived out of the way. An impact hit where she just
stood, as if Mt Tai had fallen. The ground shook so violently that she couldnt stand back up. Her
heart sank as she saw the long blade slashing towards her.

Ye Cang had his bow ready, wanting to provide support; but the shaking ground caused his
arrow to veer off course, hitting it in the forehead and only causing it some minor injury. He
sighed, there was no way to stop it now. The long blade flashed, cutting towards GreenDew,
killing her. Everyone felt gloomy. Without their only spellcaster, this battle had become much
more difficult.

Lele. Me and Shaking Bear and everyone else will try to create opportunities for you to attack!
Focus and wait for your chance! Go! ThornyRose calmly said. She turned and brought everyone
to charge at the fishman chief who wore a condescending smile.

Ye Cang quickly changed his position. He arrived at the edge of the clearing and leaned on a low
hanging stalactite so that he wouldnt miss again like last time. He crouched, reached for his
quiver and frowned. He only had one arrow left. He had find the perfect opportunity to use it so
that it wouldnt be wasted.

1: I imagine this sort of sound: murlock.mp3

Chapter 44: A Thrilling Shot
The battle became extremely intense. Everyone had to be careful as they could be killed at any
time, while also trying to deal as much damage as possible. The battle reached a sort of deadlock.
Under the guidance of ThornyRose and Zhang ZhengXiong, Lin Le would attack when he had
the chance then immediately retreat.

Since he only had one arrow left, Ye Cang gave up his bowman position, and became a
dedicated healer, helping everyone keep their health up with his healing stream spell. As time
dragged on, he looked at his mana, and saw he could only cast two more.

The fishman chief was riddled with scars. Its blade danced, keeping everyone back. Then it
suddenly shouted and raised its blade high, its eyes began glowing red.

ThornyRose saw this and immediately shouted: Its using a skill!

Everyone stopped moving and focused their attention on the blade. ThornyRose and Zhang
ZhengXiong were the first to notice that the target was Lin Le because he was the one dealing
most of the damage. The fishman chief saw ThornyRose and Zhang ZhnegXiong running to
shield Lin Le and grinned. His blade slanted and slashed right towards where ThronyRose was
running.

Ye Cang saw the blades path change and shouted: 36E! Careful!!

ThornyRose heard Ye Cangs warning, stuck out her leg and leaned back to quickly stop. The
sweat on her cheeks followed her original momentum and shot forwards. That was so close,
good thing she heard that lowlifes warning. Wait 36E She thought of the time at the
volcano and blushed. She kicked off the ground with her back leg intending to somersault
backwards, but unexpectedly, the blade didnt stop after hitting the ground. The surrounding dust
rose and the stone floor split open from the violent shaking.

Its a earth type skill!! ThornyRose called out while unsteady. She blamed herself for thinking
weird thoughts, and tried to regain her balance.

Ye Cang quickly prepared his arrow. He saw that the fishman was reaching out with his free
hand, and had no way to defend its face. His last arrow shot out.

The fishman chief Gil Rage smiled with disdain. His hand reached out, grabbed Thornyroses
leg, and raised her up to block Ye Cangs arrow.

Eh Ye Cang looked at his arrows trajectory, and watched it while it hit, feeling a bit
awkward and speechless.

ThornyRose felt a somewhat familiar pain. It was like that time not long ago. FrozenBlood
looked at the arrow that was again sticking out of her heart-shaped butt, and she lost strength in
her legs not know what to say.
SpyingBlade was also amazed. That arrow was so sharp, since it missed the bosss weak point, it
hit her weak point instead.

Such a nostalgic scene Lin Le murmured as he retreated to steady himself and looked at
ThornyRose.

About a few days ago Zhagn ZhengXiong added in.

FrozenCloud was amazed, then hearing what they said, she looked over and froze. This wasnt
the first time!? No wonder Sister Rose gnashed her teeth so much when she speaks of him. The
fact that she hadnt done something yet was inconceivable. As expected of Sister Rose, thinking
of the bigger picture first.

FrozenBlood quickly went up and stabbed into the fishman chiefs wrists. The dazed
ThornyRose fell to the ground. Theres another arrow in my butt!? She thought as she rolled
and got up. While at it, she reached out and felt her bottom, finding an arrow there. It really was
accurate. She felt a pain in her heart as she pulled it out. Whats most important now was the boss
battle, but me and him are definitely not through! She quickly escaped from the bosss attack
range. Then she glared at Ye Cang with her bright red face. Her two eyes looked like they would
shoot out fire as she roared: F** your grandfather! Perverted lowlife! Bastard! Ill get you
back!! Aahhhh!!!!

Its really not my fault, the boss is too devious Ye Cang quickly explained. He never
thought that his last arrow would also be wasted. Then he thought it over and decided it was
because her butt was too big.

ThornyRose ground her teeth, and looked back to see Zhang ZhengXiong waiting for her so they
could continue attacking the fishman chief. She started running over thinking: Ill definitely
have my revenge! This hatred wont just go away! Just you wait! Im not done with you!!

Ye Cang sensed ThornyRoses wrath, and he rubbed his nose awkwardly. His other hand reached
to his back to pulled out his two handed sword. He activated the speed boost from is shoes and
charged over.

While SpyingBlade attacked with his dagger, he sensed that ThornyRoses fighting style had
changed. It became fierce and berserk, dealing a decent amount of damage to the boss.
FrozenBlood was astonished, this sort of fighting style which didnt care for her life wasnt like
her. Thinking of the scene earlier, she understood. If it was herself she started shivering, her
heart-shaped bottom tightened. She vowed that she would never let it happen to her.

Spying blade dodge past a stomp and watched ThornyRose who seemed more berserk than a
wild beast. He suddenly thought of a phrase to describe her extremely berserk state: A Mothers
Wrath. He raised his head and saw a figure jump over. It was him! The dark red longsword
slashed towards the back of the fishmans neck, making it scream out in pain.
FrozenClouds tonfas crossed, blocking the fishman chiefs slash. Her whole body was sent
flying away from the force. She struggled to warn everyone: Its berserk too!

Although ThornyRose was in a Berserk state, she still raised he shield to block the incoming
sweep which pushed her back several steps. Her body was unsteady as she looked at her
remaining ten health and sensed a healing stream cast on her. Its recovery was too slow, she
quickly pulled out a Small Health Potion and drank it.

At this time, the fishman chiefs hooked blade performed numerous slashes. Seeing the
numerous blades, everyone quickly backed up. The boss turned a full 180 degrees and slashed
out. SpyingBlade dodged a few steps to the right. It was targeting him!? His steps didnt stop but
he suddenly realised, it wasnt after him. It was after that guy. Its Lele!! He wanted to yell out
but it was too late. ThornyRose had also thought it was SpyingBlade, but realised it was only a
feint. She frowned, this games NPCs were much more intelligent than the last ones. She yelled:
Lele!!

Lin Les Dexterity wasnt very high, he knew he couldnt dodge. He saw the slash coming right
at him, and held his axe in front of him to resist. ThornyRose knew, even if he blocked it, he
would die. His already low health didnt have much left. Unless his strength was higher than the
bosss, but there was no way that was possible.

Zhang ZhengXiong suddenly appeared in front of Lin Le and raised Harjas crystal shield.
Clang~ The berserk boss, using a skill, knocked the shield onto the ground. Although the shield
had blocked the attack, he was still knocked flying. The fishman blurred and performed another
slash. Lin Le saw Zheng ZhengXiong lying bloodied on the ground, and pouted as he raised his
axe high, ready to welcome the blade. He roared: You dare bully Brother LilXiong! Ill take
you on!

FrozenBlood and the others didnt dare to approach. It was too dangerous. The boss was already
berserk, his reaction speed had deteriorated while his strength increased, but that meant they
would have better chances to attack. What made them sigh was Leles childishness. He was too
impulsive. Zhang ZhengXiong had risked his life to protect him so that he may have more
opportunities to deal damage, not to get hot headed and die together. At this time, a dark red light
flashed by. Its length was about the same as Lin Les axe and the bosss blade. It mysteriously
appeared in front of the bosss face. The person that stopped in front of the boss, surprised
everyone. It was actually Ye Cang.

Everyone was startled. How did he suddenly appear there?

SpyingBlade squinted. Just earlier, when the boss first turned around, Ye Cang was still beside
him. In this short period of time he saw Ye Cang crouch down, then he had appeared in front of
the boss. He got up from his crouch and turned around. At the same time, he touched his blade,
sending a flash of red light at the fishman chiefs eye. The attack was fast, precise, fierce,
perfectly executed, but most of all fast!
Chapter 45: Furious ThornyRose
The fishman chief, in front of Ye Cangs skill, could only howl in pain. The dark red sword had
firmly stabbed into its right eye and was immediately pulled out, bringing with it a spurt of
blood.

At this time, Lin Les attack arrived. The heavy axe chopped onto its face, leaving behind a gash
so deep you could see bone. The fishman chief was enraged. His left hand slapped towards Ye
Cang, but Ye Cang had already run away.

Lin Le stuck his head forwards, and stared at Gil Rage face to face. When Gil Rage raised his
long blade, Lin Le crossed his eyes. He had already mastered this skill and could use it perfectly.
Looking in his eyes, Gil Rages furious eye suddenly became cross eyed. Although the fishman
chief was already blind in one eye, but its other eye still looked towards the bridge of his nose.
It was inflicted with confusion.

No one attack! ThornyRose! AXiong! Flame Flasks! Ye Cang took out his flame flask and
shouted.

SpyingBlade who was charging over stopped. He looked at the boss, puzzled. When did that
happen? What skill?

ThornyRose was also puzzled. What skill was it, it was so amazing. Who did it? Lele? Perverted
Lowlife? Or Zhang ZhengXiong? If it was magic, any of the three could have done it since Lele
was an unknown hidden class. She prepared a flame flask. Zhang ZhengXiong also scrambled up
and took his out.

Throw! ThornyRose shouted, sounding a bit weak.

3 Minor Flame Flasks all hit the wound on its face and started to burn. The fishman awakened
and screamed in pain.

Finish him! Ye Cang leaped forwards and used his straight thrust. His dark red sword flashed
as it stabbed into the fishman chiefs throat, leaving a hole which spurted blood. The fishman
struggled to block the incoming attacks but didnt make it in time. Lin Le wielded his large axe
and shouted: Leles Big Windmill!!

The fishmans hooked long blade blocked the first spin. FrozenCloud leapt over, her right tonfa
ferociously attacking its bleeding throat. She landed and dodged past Lin Les spin with a roll.

Lin Le took a big step to the right while he spun. Appearing where he was before was
ThornyRose. Everyone knew this would be the end, so they used everything they had and
attacked like storm. Finally, after the heavy strike at the end of Lin Les skill, Gil Rage fell to the
ground, smelling like roasted fish.
Congratulations. Youve slain the Blu Scaled Fishman Chief - Gil Rage. Received 650
experience.

Ye Cang sighed in relief. He reached out to loot the corpse, his eyes full of excitement. Divine
Hand Appear!

Zhang ZhengXiong quickly charged over, but someone was even faster than him. In an instant,
Ye Cang was pushed to the ground, on top of him was a furious ThornyRose. After the boss
died, she lost her last restraint. Thinking of earlier, her rage bubbled up and clouded her
thoughts.

Its already become an instinct? FrozenBlood murmured. Zhang ZhengXiong was extremely
jealous.

This time, Ye Cang felt something was off. ThornyRose had a murderous expression, one that
made others shiver in fear. He saw her delicate hands reaching towards his face, he thought: Not
good, shes going to do something! and quickly and intercepted her hands to resist. The two
were again in an inappropriate position with her above and him below.

Perverted Lowlife! I wont be at peace until I tear you apart! ThornyRoses face was already
red from rage and was grinding her teeth.

Hey, Madam. Have some dignity. Your image is falling apart Ye Cang tightly held her
hands, resisting while calming her down. He sighed and looked away. Earlier, that wasnt my
fault. It was the boss

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a pain on his face and he screamed: Aaah!! My Face!!
Shes biting my face!

Everyone watched ThornyRose who was biting at Ye Cang as if she was a zombie. They inhaled
sharply and started to step away. This woman was so terrifying. FrozenBlood looked at the mad
woman who had completely lost her reason and quickly ran over. Once she was close, she took a
picture before pulling ThornyRose away. Calm down, calm down. Lets split the bosss loot,
then return to Really New Village for the reward

Release me! Release me!! Ill tear him apart! Aaah!! ThornyRose said, her eyes shining red.
She bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she roared.

Ye Cang took a deep breath and slowly got up. He took out a mirror and checked his face. He
saw two deep bite marks and deeply sighed.

SpyingBlade and FrozenCloud looked at them oddly. Was this the rage of a lover?

Lin Le drew closer to Zhang ZhengXiong, afraid. Sister Rose is so scary

Zhang ZhengXiong nodded. Why dont you go loot the corpse.

After FrozenBloods consoling, ThornyRose had settled down a bit. She thought of the arrow
that had again struck her in that place, and thought it over. It was indeed the bosss fault for
using her as a shield. But that wasnt enough to quell her rage. Her fury was still directed at the
man who was was standing there looking calm with bite marks on his face. She gnashed her teeth
loudly.

Brother LilWhite. It dropped a saber, a chest armor, and a ring. Lin Le handed over the loot.
The saber looked like that hooked blade the fishman chief was using. The armor was made of
blue fish scales, it was probably medium armor. It looked quite beautiful. As for the ring, it was
silver and was engraved with what looked like a fishman poem.

3 pieces of equipment, each of which could drive someone mad with greed. Although the
weapon was one-handed, but the damage was almost as high as Ye Cangs two handed sword. It
was a fairly heavy one handed weapon. It even had ahigh damage crowd control skill. Except for
Ye Cang and Lin Le, everyone wanted it. The breast plates defence and attributes were all really
good. It had high defence and constitution along with % damage reduction, perfect for a tank. As
for the ring, it didnt even need to be said. 2 Strength, 2 Dexterity, and 2 damage, compared to
having a special ability, a damage bonus was a lot more stable.

No one was in a rush to distribute it. Looting the other fishmen, they received 2 fine and 2
excellent equipment. This times harvest was really plentiful. One of the excellent equipment was
a wand. There was also a skirt that added intelligence among the fine equipment. GreenDew who
was in town was really happy. She didnt die for nothing.

TN: Lol, I feel sorta bad for Ye Cang this time. That must have been a terrifying experience.
Chapter 46: Ill Gotten Gains
What to do? SpyingBlade took the lead to ask.

Although ThornyRose was in a bad mood, but she still suppressed it and said: This one handed
weapon, Lele and that lowlife currently dont need to change weapons yet. FrozenCloud is a
grappler. So its just me, Shaking Bear, FrozenBlood and you. How about we roll for it.
Whoever gets it has to give up on the next item.

I Ye Cang wanted to speak but was shot down by ThornyRoses glare. He crossed his arms
and calmly agreed: Your words are very reasonable. I have nothing to add

ThornyRose cupped her two hands and blew on them for luck. She took a deep breath and threw
the dice. 71. She frowned, it was alright.

Zhang ZhengXiong both rolled and got 86 and 91 respectively. SpyingBlade thought it was
hopeless. He mindlessly threw his dice and got a 92. He was astonished, what a comeback! He
looked towards FrozenBlood and shrugged. Sorry

FrozenBlood shook her head. ThornyRose was a bit disappointed, but still handed him the
weapon. SpyingBlade switched his current dagger to his offhand and equipped the saber to his
main hand. This should raise his damage significantly. Although it was a bit heavy, but he still
had his dagger in his other hand.

As for the breastplate, me, Shaking Bear, LilDino, and Lele can all use it. Since Lele can use it,
lets bid on it. The final bid will be paid to the remaining 3 people. Well start at 1 gold.
Nobody had any objects to her proposal. Although they said it was 4 people it was really only Ye
Cang and ThornyRose bidding.

1 gold. Ye Cang held up his hand and bid.

1 gold 10 silver. ThornyRose raised.

1 gold 30 silver. Ye Cang raised his hand again.

2 gold ThornyRose looked at that infuriating face and raised again. She definitely had to
make him bleed! She increased directly to 2 gold knowing he would definitely bid on it for
Shaking Bear.

PASS. Ye Cang unexpectedly backed out. He extended his hand and smiled: Any further
would hurt our friendship. 2 gold please.

ThornyRose froze. He actually didnt bid!? Looking at the hand extended towards her. Shes
never felt such an urge to rip someones arm off. Federal dollars?
Ye Cang shook his head. I did some research, game money is still rising in value. Also, for
LilDinos remodelling fund, Ill need to save more money. Right now earning money is not
easy, you know?

ThornyRose clenched her teeth and squeezed out a few words: Ill double it.

Im not Ye Cang pretended to not be interested.

Thornyrose said in a cold voice: Dont push it

Ok. Ye Cang indifferently nodded. She transferred 4 millions federal dollars over.

FrozenCloud stood silently on the side. She really wanted to say: What LilDino remodelling
fund. Im not called LilDino. but just sighed instead.

Ye Cang looked over at her, he reached out, patted her shoulder, and smiled. Well add 1
million federal dollars to your remodelling funds. Once we have enough, well go with you to
Korea to get it done, and we can have some fun together while were there. This is my promise
to you, LilDino.

Mm! Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le joined in and patted her shoulder.

FrozenCloud didnt know what to say. She could tell they were serious. All sorts of feelings
welled up in her heart. Speechlessness, fury, and a bit moved. Although she rarely made friends,
but she felt they were very sincere. They didnt have any complicated thoughts towards her. She
felt a bit guilty keeping secrets from them. These three guys werent bad people. They were just
a bit dumb. She gave a hollow laugh and replied to their good intentions: Thanks, Haha~
Haha~

ThornyRose facepalmed. She turned and stopped caring about whatever they were doing. Ok,
last is the ring. What do you think?

Lets Roll. Ye Cang proposed seriously.

ThornyRose and FrozenBlood felt their chests tighten. Get lost!

Its not like you cant. We just need someone to roll in place of Lele. SpyingBlade proposed.
ThornyRose thought: Right! That works!

Then lets just bid. Ye Cang nodded and proposed again, still seriously.

The veins on ThornyRoses forehead started throbbing. Weve already agreed. Lele, have
someone roll for you. Is that ok?

Yup. Brother LilXiong, help me roll. Lin Le naively smiled.

Ye Cang saw that ThornyRose and SpyingBlade had all agreed. Lele also didnt oppose. So he
didnt object anymore. He took the lead to roll. 1. He frowned and looked at ThornyRose and the
others. Did you guys rig my dice?

Its all done by the system!! ThornyRose finally burst and yelled at him.

Eh So thats how it is Hah~ that system bastard. Ye Cang crossed his arm and sighed.

ThornyRose didnt know what to say. It was all because he was too unlucky! Yet he still blames
the system!? She tossed the dice and a dazzling 2 appeared. She thought: F**k! I was infected
by that bastard. I can feel myself degenerating. She pushed he bad luck to the calm looking Ye
Cang.

FrozenBlood slightly shifted to the side to avoid her. She rolled her dice and got a 92. She
nodded her head A wise decision.

ThornyRose was speechless. This b***h.

Everyone rolled less than FrozenBlood and it became Leles turn. Brother LilXiong, go
ahead.

Zhang ZhengXiong nodded. He took the dice and threw a 100. It was like a sword stabbing into
everyones hearts.

At this time, ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, FrozenCloud and SpyingBlade, their minds were all a
mess. They thought they could see a huge, awe inspiring image of Lele behind Zhang
ZhengXiong. The hallucination laughed disdainfully at them. It overlooked them all and said in a
childish tone: Tremble before me mortals. You think these tricks will keep me from rolling?
Youre just bringing about your own doom! Hahaha~ Ha Ha Ha~

The laughed resounded in their heads. Even having someone roll for him is no good? They
looked towards Lin Le, whose expression hadnt changed. Their faces were full of astonishment.
They became even more sure he was a walking, talking, dice monster. They would never let him
participate in a roll again, even indirectly!

Good job Lele! Ye Cang gratefully nodded. Zhang ZhengXiong looked at Lele, feeling
unworthy. He rubbed his shoulders: So amazing, Lele.

In Lin Les Ludo Emperor legends, there was more to the story then was told last time. The Ludo
Emperor simply had to designate a representative, and that person person will only roll 6s. So his
power transfers over to the next Ludo Emperor. The Ludo enthusiasts even had a saying: The
Great Emperor descends, Only sixes may attend! And while hes absent, Victory is still his
patent!

Lin Le happily took the ring. Brother LilWhite. Ill give it to you!
Ye Cang pet Lin Le, and took the ring to equip it. Leles still the best.

ThornyRose looked at Ye Cang enjoying the sweet taste of victory. That bastard definitely
already knew about it, yet he still says lets bid. He won and treats other like dogs, this lowlife is
really too cruel. She chewed on her thumbnail, full of hate. FrozenBlood looked her actions, and
smiled. Its been many years since she bit her nails.

TN: Lele, give me some of that luck please -prays-

Chapter 47: Mayors Reward
Ye Cang began chopping up the corpses. His backpack was filled with fishman meat, fishman
eyes and fishman scales. He looked over at a meter wide pond which had faint flickers of light
on the surface. He arrived beside it and found it immersed inside.

A fist sized night-luminescent pearl glistened in the middle of the pond. The slight ripples in the
water carried a gentle light, giving off a peaceful cozy feeling. Ye Cang reached in and took it
out. Night had just fallen, and the shining pearl attracted everyones admiration.

Blue Night-Luminescent Pearl (Treasure): A high quality night-luminescent pearl. Its not cheap.

Ye Cang took it and indifferently said: Mission complete, lets go back to town to turn it in.

ThornyRose and the others didnt say anything, they knew it was probably some quest item.

At night, the river looked exceptionally peaceful. The rushing of water and rustling of leaves
mixed together making a comfortable sound. Suddenly they heard something unnatural. Ye Cang
quickly pulled out his two-handed sword. Fishmen are coming! Everyone be careful!

Everyone prepared for battle and looked around alert. They raised their torches towards the
source of the sound.

A large swarm of fishmen appeared, making ThornyRose frown. Why was there so much? They
might be screwed. Retreat!

When the fishmen saw the ring on Ye Cangs hand, they immediately stopped. They all started to
grumble and gurgle, all trying to speak at once. They looked very happy as they jumped into the
river and swam away. There was one that was only slightly smaller than Gil Rage. It raised its
harpoon and waved towards Ye Cang. Its other hand patted its chest, and gurgled with
gratitude.

Ye Cang waved back, patted his own chest, and shouted with a smile Mrgle Mmmm!

The boss like fishman let out what should be laugh and swam away.

Everyone looked blankly at Ye Cang who looked like he was having a happy conversation with
them.

Ye Cang felt everyones suspicious stare, and shrugged. He faintly smiled and explained: The
fishmen earlier were from the Blue Scaled Rebel Army, along with their chief - Yoji. They saw
my ring and knew we had killed the blue scaled fishman chief - Gil Rage, I just confirmed it.
Right now they are rushing to occupy the territory upstream. Before he left we became good
friends and he said I would always be a friend of the fishmen. He said I should come over to play
when Im free, hed give me a tour. Then the system said my reputation with the blue scaled
fishmen became respected. Im now an honorary warrior of the blue scaled fishmen tribe.
Brother LilWhite, so cool! I want to be the tribes warrior too! Too bad I cant speak
fishman Lin Le pouted enviously, feeling a bit of regret.

What the *! That can happen!? He got reputation with a monster race and its actually
respected!? An honorary warrior!? ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, and SpyingBlade felt their
stomachs hurting. That ring! But thinking it over, it required the fishman language to trigger the
event.

Brother PaleSnow. Tomorrow, can you bring everyone to the fishmen village to look around!?
That reputation whatever, we want to establish one too. SpyingBlade said. ThornyRose also
thought of it. Having reputation with a hidden faction would be useful. They would have their
own merchants which would sell unique items, and there would definitely be many quests.

Lets talk about it tomorrow. First we should return to town Ye Cang nodded. Everyone
continued walking down the path. The journey back was like a walk in the park, since all they
met was some wild animals.

In no time at all, they had already arrived at the outskirts of town and met up with GreenDew.
After giving her her share of the loot, they came to the heart of the village where the workers
were preparing to go home. The guards saw that it was Ye Cang and relaxed their guard.
Lieutenant PaleSnow, what business do you have with the mayor so late at night?

ThornyRose sucked in a breath, surprised. This kid was a Really New Village lieutenant!? No
wonder he could receive a quest like this. Normally, one wouldnt be able to meet the mayor
without a good reason.

Its regarding the blue scaled fishman chief. Ye Cang said hinting at the bounty that Mayor
Mar had posted.

The guards heard it and remembered Mars instructions. They nodded and allowed them to pass.
Everyone followed Ye Cangs group and entered the mayors office. Mar looked haggard as he
sorted through his documents. His face had a few new scratches. He weakly looked up and saw
that it was Ye Cangs group and happily stood up. Is it done?

This is its head, its foam, hand, foot Ye Cang nodded, and began taking out all the
remaining parts of Gil Rage. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le again began piecing them together.
Mar could feel the contents of his stomach rising. He wanted to shout: Just taking his head out
is enough! Dont put it together again! ThornyRose, FrozenBlood and the others were also
horrified.

Mar took a deep breath. Ive confirmed it. Well done, you and these brave warriors have
completed the quest. Here is your reward.

Congratulations. Youve completed the hidden story quest Slay the Blue-Scaled Fishman Chief
- Gil Rage. Your reputation with Really New Village has become respected, and youve been
promoted to Really New Villages Guard Captain. Received 700 experience, 5 gold, a random
class talent, and a random common talent.

Congratulations, youve received class talent: Knights Mashup Spirit (Rare - Beginner Level):
+2 All attributes, and all weapon proficiencies. You can choose any equipment (including
weapons), the restrictions to equip it will be reduced by 50%. Can only affect one item at a time.
Only works on yourself.

Congratulations, youve received common talent: Clever and Deft (Beginner Level): +1
Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, all weapon proficiencies, and +2 to reflex.

Everyone was extremely happy. They didnt care about the experience or the gold, most
important was the talents. One class specific talent and one common talent. Both were rare and
difficult to acquire. In the future, the ones they obtain from the class instructors would all be
normal ones. They had even received reputation and a post. ThornyRose and the others were
now Lieutenants. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le had become Vice-Captains.

Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le showed their rewards to Ye Cang. Zhang ZhengXiong got Strong
and Tough Body (+4 Constitution, gain 1 Strength for every 5 Constitution) and Lightning
Reflexes (+4 Reflex, +2 Dexterity).

Lin Les was Arms Dealers Strength (+3 Heavy Weapon Proficiency, +4 Strength, +3
Constitution, 15% effectiveness of consumables. 25% reduced stun duration and 5% chance to
negate) and Tenacious (+1 Strength, +1 Constitution, +2 Will1).

Ye Cang crossed his arms and nodded. Zhang ZhengXiongs talents were very practical, it would
become even more powerful in the future, and right now it was only Beginner Level. Now his
strength would be decent. That brat was pretty lucky, all he had to do was add constitution. As
for Lele, he got more destructive power and the ability to resist stun. His own talents were also
not bad, he got increases in every attribute as well as weapon proficiency (affects the damage of
a weapon), and he could wear a piece of equipment that he normally wouldnt be able to, like
some heavy armor.

TN: Yay~ My favorite part of game novels is the wierd customized rewards important characters
get to make their characters unique. Its like the system forgot that Zhang ZhengXiong is a
priest what kind of class talents is that? OP!

1: Will = Mental / Spiritual defence. The power to resist mind-effecting abilities.

Chapter 48: Mars Stash
Mayor Mar leaned over towards Ye Cang and whispered: What about the goods?

Ive got it here Ye Cang whispered back. Mar nodded. You three come with me. Everyone
else, thank you, you can go now

ThornyRose hesitated. This was probably something private between them and the mayor. It
might have something to do with that pearl. She didnt say anything and brought FrozenBlood,
GreenDew and FrozenCloud out. SpyingBlade raised an eyebrow and also left. They all waited
outside.

Mar brought the three of them through the office and to a courtyard. They arrived in front of a
graceful and luxurious old lady. She could be considered good looking for her age. This should
be the one who left those scratches on his face, Madam Mar.

What are you coming back for!? The Madam glared at Mar.

Hurry, take it out Mar whispered, without moving his mouth. Ye Cang quickly took out the
Night-Luminescent Pearl. The Madams vision locked on and she couldnt take her eyes off of
the glimmering pearl. Her eyes were filled with obsession. She ran over, hugged it, and reached
out one hand to pull the old mayor over. Hubby, youre the best~ Tonight, you can sleep on the
bed

The old mayor Mar let out a long sigh of relief. He had finally regained his peaceful everyday
life. Suddenly, the madam became violent. She pinched his waist and Slap~ smacked the back
of his head. What are you staring into space for! You still havent rewarded the brave warriors
who brought back my precious treasure. We Mars must repay our favors! Now hurry for this old
lady! Dont let others think were being cheap!

Old mar wanted to cry, but didnt have anymore tears. He replied like a yes-man Ill go give
them a big reward.

Hubby, youre the best~~ The madam said and gave old mar a kiss on the cheek.

Ye Cangs group of 3 raised an eyebrow. Such a powerful woman. They raised their heads and
recalled the older sister in the drama Sisters, ADuo. She was sharp and mean, but wasnt
lacking in passion and righteousness. They also saw AXiangs1 likeliness in old Mar. They
sighed. So it was true love.

Old Mar brought everyone towards his private warehouse. They walked to another courtyard
floowing a little path. You handled the fishmen very well. Continue to stay vigilant. I think
youre ready to know. What do you think those werewolves are?
Ye Cang thought for a bit. Primates evolved into humans. In this world, fish evolved into
fishmen. Then it follows that wolves should evolve inte werewolves! He gasped, feeling
enlightened: Those feral wolves are evolving too quickly.

Old mar hold back his laughter. He raised his head, recalling the black werewolfs story. He
thought back to his own experiences and said: Those werewolves dont evolve from feral
wolves. They use to be Really New Villages inhabitants. In the past, Really New Village
believed in the wolf god, many people respected it because it represented harvest and valor. But
suddenly, due to some unknown powerful pollution, the wolf god that protected the fields and
the guards degenerated. It became extremely sinister and wicked. Those believers also mutated
and became werewolves. There was a bloody battle. Although Really New Village managed to
drive them out, but they are still Really New Villages biggest threat.

Old Mar paused for a moment. When I was young and still part of the guards, I killed many of
them but was captured. Actually, for a long period of them, they werent much different than a
regular human. But under the influence of the evil wolf they continued to transform. That
disgusting beast, it was nothing like a wolf god. I managed to escape, but the other captives
became monsters that didnt fear death. They feel nothing even as they died. They only cared
about repaying their gods love. They were controlled and made to do terrible things.

At this time, they had arrived at the warehouse. Old mar looked at the brightly shining moon and
smiled. Its been so many years, yet this long battle has not been settled. And now Im mayor. I
want to settle it before my time ends. Brave warriors, will you lend me a helping hand?

Because they knew what kind of person Old Mar was, Ye Cang and the three expressionlessly
looked at him. Hm~

Im telling the truth. Old Mar said with an earnest expression.

The three of their expressions didnt change Hm~

Cough~ Cough~ ok, so about 80% of it is real. Heres the real story. A pack of werewolves
came and robbed a jewel from my village. It happened while you were in the forest. Help me
deal with those bastards and retrieve the jewel. You will be heavily rewarded! But right now is a
dangerous time, you should be careful. Recently those bastards have become more active. Keep
your eyes and ears peeled and tell me if you learn anything. Old Mar shrugged and said while
he opened the warehouse door.

Mm, if we learn anything, well tell you. Ye Cang nodded.

Old Mar brought the three of them into the warehouse. The inside was so dark, you couldnt
even see your five fingers.

Old Mar lit an oil lamp, revealing the many kinds of equipment sitting on the shelves. All sorts
of shiny armor reflected in their eyes.
Everyone can pick one. One youve chosen, get out. Tonight, this old man will have a sleepless
night. Quickly, quickly! Ill give you 1 minute! Also white haired something Pale Something,
youre now commander of the guards, and you other two are vice commanders. Old Mar
watched as the three stared at the equipment.

Congratulations. Youve become commander of the guards. Your reputation with Really New
Village has become worshipped.

Ye Cang snapped out of his daze after hearing the system message. He quickly looked at the
displayed equipment. There were weapons and various parts of armor. Finally he saw some
heavy plate shoulder guards. It was equipment for the shoulder slot which he didnt have yet, and
there were three of them! There was even a class restricted one. He examined them all before
deciding on:

Black-Iron Shoulder Protector (Superior - Rare)

Category: Heavy Shoulder Guard

Requirements: 20 Constitution, 18 Strength

+3 Constitution

+2 Strength

+4 Defence

Shoulder Strike: Launch a shoulder strike at a target, deal damage equal to (Strength + Dexterity)
/ 2 and knock the target back. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

Old Mar wanted to quickly return to bed so continued to urge them to hurry. Zhang ZhengXiong
saw a one handed hammer. It was made completely out of iron and had a fairly heavy head.
Holding it in his hand, it felt comfortable. He really wanted to find a walnut to smash.

Fine-Iron Warhammer (Superior - Rare)

Category: Light Warhammer

Damage: 9 - 12

+2 Strength

+2 Constitution
Seismic Slam: Deal 175% damage to targets in range, with a chance to stun or knockdown.

Lin Le wandered among the dazzling armors and found a pair of thick, black, iron gloves. He
picked it up and without even looking, he put them on. They were a bit too big for him and
together with the gigantic war axe, he looked comical. But one could also feel the destructive
power it contained.

Black-Iron Heavy Gauntlets (Superior - Rare)

Category: Heavy Gloves

Requirements: 24 Strength

+4 Defence

+3 Damage

+3 Strength

+2 Constitution

1: Guy who gets his balls busted all the time in the drama.
Chapter 49: LilDinos Inner Turmoil
Ye Cang saw a black-iron tonfa. He reached and grabbed it. We have one more companion. Ill
be taking this too. Thats ok right?

Fine-Black-Iron Protector (Superior - Rare)

Category: Tonfa

Requirements: 15 Strength, 15 Constitution

+3 Strength

+2 Constitution

Whatever you want! Quickly get out. Mar urged. Once the three of them left the warehouse,
Mar locked it up, took out a pouch of coins and shoved it towards Ye Cang. Now get lost!

Ye Cang wanted to say something, but he had already started jogging away. He jogged quickly
and happily, even performing little hops and dances. His mouth sang out: Wife~~ Im
coming~~

That old sex maniac Zhang ZhengXiong murmured.

Ye Cang faintly sighed. He counted the coins in the bag. Altogether there was a bit over 20 gold.
He tied the cord tightly and put it away, then he brought the other two with him as he left the
courtyard. The guards saw the three of them leaving and saluted. Commander!

The three put on serious expressions and Lin Le said: You guys, stay alert. Dont get lazy!

Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong couldnt help smiling. The three of them left the city hall. He
saw ThornyRose and the others waiting for them. Shall we disband for now? Tomorrow
afternoon we can go see the fishman village.

Theres nothing else? ThornyRose saw the three of them looking like they got something
good. This bastard can wear a heavy shoulder guard? Shaking Bear also got a new weapon, and
it should be a good one. Leles gloves had also changed. Although they looked big on him, but
its quality couldnt be doubted.
Nothing else. Mar, that old guy, went to keep his wife company. Theres no new quest. Ye
Cang shrugged and said calmly.

ThornyRose stared at Ye Cangs tranquil face. Whatever, it should be just a reward for the three
of them. They had already earned a lot from the hidden story quest. She sighed: Ok, what time
in the afternoon should we meet?

At 3 oclock, we want to watch Sisters so lets do 4. Ye Cang thought it over, and said.
ThornyRose and the others felt their hearts hurt, their minds in chaos. Sisters!? Because of that
messed up drama, they wanted to push back everyones schedule!?

Lets just meet at 3. ThornyRose said, holding back her rage.

Umm I said, were watching Ye Cang was planning to explain again, but before he could
finish, he was interrupted by ThornyRose, FrozenBlood and GreenDews roar: Watch the
replay!

Looking at the three girls expression, especially ThornyRoses threatening eyes, Ye Cang
obediently nodded his head. He rubbed his cheek with his hand. This girl was crazy. Lin Le and
Zhang ZhengXiong also unconsciously backed away and nodded.

Ok then, disperse. ThornyRose took a deep breath and said. SpyingBlade crossed his arms and,
without saying a word, he turned and walked away.

ThornyRose looked back and saw Ye Cang pulling FrozenCloud over about to say something
and asked: What will you guys be doing?

Well resupply, then go to the market and look around and see if theres anything to buy while
gathering intelligence and whatnot. Ye Cang shrugged and said. ThornyRose didnt reply. She
glanced at the four of them before leaving with FrozenBlood and GreenDew.

Bro, heres the gold from earlier. Zhang ZhengXiong took out the 5 gold he received from the
quest. Lin Le also handed his over. Brother LilWhite, heres mine.

FrozenCloud hesitated, but still took out her gold and weakly handed it over. Team leader,
heres my share.

LilDino, Ill help you hold onto it. A portion will go towards your remodelling funds, the rest
will go to our shared party funds. Oh right, how is your arithmetic? Ye Cang thought of
something and asked.

Hearing him call her LilDino she sighed in her heart and thought: Can you not bring up the
those remodelling funds. I dont need it! Also! What arithmetic!? Are you guys primary school
kids!? Still learning arithmetic!? She sighed and replied: Pretty good.
How good is pretty good? Lele can add or subtract up to two digits. AXiong can multiply or
divide up to two digits. Im the best and can solve for unknown numbers as long as it doesnt
pass two digits, be it addition, subtraction, multiplication or division! Ye Cang said looking
proud.

FrozenClouds legs went soft. Her tonfas fell to the ground. They were college students like
herself. She looked at their faces and panicked. How should she reply!? If she said she knew
calculus and algebra, they probably wouldnt understand. Wait! What do primary school students
think is the most amazing? She seriously thought it over. She raised her eyebrows and intended
to joke around with them. I know long division

The three of them were so startled, they retreated a few steps. Lin Le was stunned and started to
worship her.

Zhang ZhengXiong couldnt believe his ears. Its actually long division

Ye Cang sighed. He looked disappointed and unwillingly said: Its actually long division, more
amazing than even solving unknown numbers. Ive lost

FrozenCloud saw the three peoples reactions. She raised her head and looked at the night
sky, completely confused. Although they were all university student, how did they manage to
enroll in college? Did they threaten the proctor?

Right, what is long division? When I was small, everyone would say long division was so
hard. Zhang ZhengXiongs words made FrozenCloud who was bending down to pick up her
tonfas fall over.

Its a kind of magic. Arithmetic magic. Really scary. I once wanted to try it but my skill wasnt
enough and I was almost devoured. It felt like my head would split apart. Lin Le pouted.

Lele is correct. Its a dangerous arithmetic magic. If your arithmetic skill isnt enough, it will
kill you. Ye Cang crossed his arms and calmly nodded.

FrozenCloud stayed silent. If she kept talking to them, she would go mad. She slowly got up.

Ye Cang took out the fine black iron tonfa he got earlier. Oh right, this is for you. We all got a
piece of equipment. Since there are benefits, how could we leave you out. Hurry and equip it.

Thats the extra item my bro squeezed out of that old guy. Zhang ZhengXiong smiled.

FrozenCloud took the tonfas, and looked at its attributes. It was way better than hers, it even
came with an important defensive skill. She removed the tonfa on her right hand and replaced it
with the Fine Black Iron Protector. These the guys, besides being a bit stupid correction,
extremely stupid, were actually three really good people. Thanks, team leader.
At this time, ThornyRoses message arrived: That groups activity, if something happens report
to me or your sister.

FrozenBlood sighed. With a complicated expression, she looked to the three people in front of
her who were chatting and laughing. Its a pity that Im a spy she thought as she jogged to
catch up to them. Zhang ZhengXiong wrapped an arm around her shoulder and patted her back.
If theres anything you want, just tell my bro. Were all brother so no need to be polite!

Mm! FrozenCloud replied, her heart a mess. She was becoming too immersed in her role.

If Thornyrose or FrozenBlood knew of her hearts troubles, they would definitely be speechless.
It was like their little sister was becoming a gangster. Whats so good about those 3 brain-dead
guys.
Chapter 50: Alinas Tears
Team leader, why dont you get along with Sister Rose and the girls? FrozenCloud asked
while she wrapped her arm around Lin Les shoulder, afraid hed get lost.

That girl, her Bang~! Ye Cang said pointing at his head, making spirals with his finger.
Then his two hands imitated an explosion. has some sort of problem.

FrozenCloud wondered what kind of reaction ThornyRose would have if she knew how
they thought of her. She quickly shook her head.

Ye Cangs group of 4 listened to all the shouts in the market. Most of them were some common
equipment. Occasionally there would be some fine quality stuff. As for skill books, there were
none. They arrived at a place with a lot of people. Everyone looked to see what it was.

Double Shot (Common): Shoot two arrows at once at a target, each dealing 85% damage. Cost:
15 Energy. Cooldown: 15 seconds.

Ye Cang looked at the price: 1 gold. He then looked towards the seller. He had small sideburns,
dark gray hair, and looked like a really normal guy. He probably just got lucky. At this point,
very few people would have 1 gold. Furthermore, it was a ranged skillbook, many people havent
even seen a bow yet. He took out a coin: Ill buy it.

The man happily took the gold coin in exchange for the skillbook and left. Ye Cang directly took
it and learned it. Then they continued to walk around, but didnt find anything good. Most of
their equipment was at least fine quality. If their weapons werent an excellent - demonic one,
then they were superior ones.

They continued to wander and saw a couple rings. Though it would be useful, it wasnt worth the
price.

Theres nothing good to see. Lets go resupply at granny Ricas store, then log off to get some
food. Ye Cang stretched and yawned lazily.

Bro, lets find a random merchant and exchange our gold bar for coins. Zhang ZhengXiong
proposed.

Ok, itll increase our funds a little. After breakfast, lets go to the forest in the north, past the
holy oak and look for those werewolves that robbed old Mar. We can also scout around a bit
while were there. Ye Cang nodded. FrozenCloud stroked her chin and thought: So they did
have some information. Should I tell Sister Rose? After contemplating a bit, she still decided to
secretly send a message. Sister Rose, were currently at a pawn shop, then well be going to
some grandma Ricas place to resupply. Then were going to the northern forest to find some
werewolves and find some jewel for the mayor.
ThornyRose received the message and ground her teeth. She laughed coldly as she said: I knew
it. That lowlife definitely had another quest. They dare to leave us behind and finish the quest
themselves! Humph~ Humph~

Continue to monitor them, and notify me as soon as they leave. ThornyRose replied, then
looked at FrozenBlood and GreenDew. Lets go! To the north to wait for that lowlife and the
others! He thinks he can hog the rewards! No way!!

I feel like after Sister Rose met that knight, shes become really scary. GreenDew stuck to
FrozenBlood and whispered.

Ah, the side effects of love FrozenBlood secretly thought.

On the other side, Ye Cangs group arrived at a bank and slowly walked in. The manager saw the
three and quickly ran up. Commander!

The gold bar was exchanged for 15 gold. The four of them left the bank. Across the street, they
saw a pawn shop, and slowly walked over. The pawnshop owner was a sleepy old man. Most
players avoided pawn shops because: 1. They offered too little money. 2. There usually wasnt
anything good. There will always be someone else to sell to. What you could normall sell for 1
silver elsewhere, youd only get 10 copper here. All this led to the pawnshop staying extremely
empty.

The old man peacefully woke up: Welcome.

Ye Cang didnt really come here for a specific reason, so he just asked: Is there anything here,
that hasnt been reclaimed, that we can buy?

The old man yawned and took out some jewelry and some equipment. The price ranged from 1
gold to over 100 gold. The goods ranged from rings to heavy swords. The four of them browsed,
but the prices were too high. Ye Cangs sight landed on a black inconspicuous ring. The price
was 1 gold, and it had been left here for 10 odd years already, increasing its price to 2 gold. This
pawnshop was really making a huge profit. He picked up the ring to examine it.

Mysterious Ring (Unknown): Hidden until equipped.

Ye Cang faintly smiled: Gambling?. He took out a dozen coins like a richman and look
towards the others. Everyone pick something that costs less than 3 gold. Lets give this gamble
a shot.

Ye Cang gave the old man two gold and put on the ring. The black crust crumbled and fell off,
exposing the rings original appearance; A beautiful silver hoop with a tear like gem embedded
in it. Etched into the side were a few words: Forever yours.

Alinas Tear (Quest Item - Mysterious)

Category: Ring

Requirements: None

Attack: 2 - 5

+3 All Attributes

+3 Defence

+5% Stun Resistance

+5 All Resistances

+7 Spell Power

Alinas Tear: ???, Cooldown: 3 days.

Ye Cang looked at the rings stats. It was too awesome, but he saw the ??? at the end. A skill he
could only use every 3 days? Just the attributes alone was enough to make it a divine artifact, and
its even related to a quest. At this moment, a voice whispered into his ear: Alinas love will be
forever yours. The voice sounded like it was suffering, as if it were sadly waiting for someone.
It made Ye Cang recall his past. A sunny girl gently brushing her fingers through his white hair.

ACang, I love you. I want to be with you and LilXiong forever.

Yeah. well always be together, because were a family.

Mm, I wish we could get married now. Hah~ but its still too early. Muah~

Ye Cang started longingly into the distance and murmured: Why. Why did you leave just like
that

Bro, I got a pretty good necklace! Come look! Brother LilWhite! Me too! Team Leader,
mine is good too!! A few voices pulled him out of his thoughts. He smiled and looked at their
items. They were all superior quality. None of them had a special ability, but the stats were
exceptionally good, easily worth their cost. He handed the money over and paid for them.
Althought they spent 10 gold coins all at once, but they managed to get some valuable
equipment. It allowed everyone to become a bit stronger.

Ye Cang looked at their new accessories and smiled. Thats right, there were some things you
couldnt get back once you lost them. He had chased after her for so long, but she still said
goodbye in the end. He shook his head and smiled at the three of them. Lets go. To Granny
Ricas place.
The three of them felt that Ye Cangs expression had changed a bit but they didnt know how to
describe it. Zhang ZhengXiong looked at Ye Cangs back and murmured, afraid to ask: Bro,
youre still thinking about sis

The nearby FrozenCloud heard it. She saw Zhang ZhengXiongs sad expression and became
curious, but she knew that some things shouldnt be asked. She patted his shoulder and said:
Lets go.

Zhang ZhengXiong nodded. He dragged Lin Le who was still playing with his new necklace and
they all left the pawnshop.

Who coulda thought. Alinas Tear really exists The old man murmured. He faintly shook his
head and groaned. When a pure, freedomless girl meets a glorious knight. When the dazzling
holy light is no longer clean. When fear and darkness is no longer gloomy

TN: What was that at the end? Some prophecy or vision or story of the past? Anyways, I think
they are done powering up for now.
Chapter 51: Innocent Lele
That guys such a big spender!? He actually spent 10 gold to gamble at the pawnshop and buy
those things that no one reclaimed. ThornyRose said amazed after hearing the whistleblower,
LilDinos report.

According to what my sister said, its a mechanism made for gambling for random equipment.
The risk is too big. FrozenBlood said after thinking it over.

Can we go have a look too? GreenDew was tempted.

ThornyRose nodded. They arrived at the pawn shop, and wasted 5 gold coins, only getting 2
pieces of fine quality accessories. On the way out, they slammed the door shut. If they knew the
stats on Ye Cangs ring, they would probably become even more flustered. Their only comfort
was that the items werent completely useless, otherwise it really would have been a complete
waste.

Really New Village, early morning, in Ricas general store. Ye Cangs group was resupplying.
He upgraded his arrows to normal arrows, graduating from those shoddy ones he used before.
FrozenCloud discovered that when these guys bought things here, it was cheaper than usual. She
was amazed at how well they got along with Rica. Lin Le even played with her grandson Jesse.

Granny Rica, were the black werewolves really people from the village? Ye Cang looked at
Rica who was knitting a sweater and asked. With her age, she would definitely know the truth.

Mm, at that time I was still very young. After the wolf god degenerated, it was a catastrophe.
My significant other also died in that battle against the werewolves. The mayor at that time was
our current mayors father. Under his guidance, we managed to drive them away, but that was
just the beginning of the nightmare. The depths of the northern forest has become their paradise,
so you all should be careful. Those things have already lost all human nature. Rica stared
blankly, thinking back to those times, then looked towards them and warned.

Ye Cang crossed his arms and nodded. He suddenly realised that every time they visited, they
had never brought a gift. He took out a large drumstick from the monstrous bird and put it on the
table. You can make something good for Jesse with this.

Its actually a monstrous bird! Its been so many years since Ive eaten it. Its too precious, I
cant receive it. Rica looked at Jesses hungry eyes, and quickly took out her money pouch. Ye
Cang reached out to stop her and shook his head. Dont mind it. Granny Rica, you always take
such good care of us when we visit. This is our heartfelt thanks.

Exactly! Granny Rica, dont be a stranger. Zhang ZhengXiong smiled brightly.

Rica looked at the four peoples smiles and faintly smiled back. Theyre all such good children.
She didnt continue to refuse.
Ye Cang tidied up his arrows and brought the three others to the doorway. Were going now.

Be careful on your journey! Rica waved as she warned them. Little Jesse also waved at them
frantically.

The door chime rang, and the four of them left the general store.
Bro, our food delivery is here, lets get off and eat breakfast. Zhang ZhengXiong reminded
him. Ye Cang looked towards FrozenCloud. LilDino, you should also go eat breakfast, then
come meet us back here.

FrozenCloud hadnt eaten breakfast in a long time as she usually skipped it, but she still nodded
her head. Seeing the three of them go offline, she leaned against a fence and closed her eyes to
rest.

Ye Cang slowly got up from bed. Zhang ZhengXiong was at the door getting their food. Lin Le
pointed at Wu Na was still in the game and looked like she was fighting an intense battle. Ye
Cang was full of curiosity as he sent a message over. Breakfast time

You guys eat first! Im fighting a boss over here! Save me a portion! Ok, no more talking. Eat
my lesser wind blade! Wu Na quickly replied.

Ye Cang faintly smiled and closed the chat. This silly girl shes fighting a boss. Lets eat
first.

After eating breakfast, the three of them returned to the game. They met up with the waiting
FrozenCloud and arrived at the northern exit of town. ThornyRose and the three girls were
already there to waiting for them. They called from afar: Yo, where are you guys going? Are
you ditching us to finish the follow up quest?

Ye Cang frowned and thought: Were they stalking us this whole time? Impossible, if there was
someone following us, either me or AXiong would feel it. And I didnt tell them where we were
going. Dont tell me!? He quietly whispered Theres a spy amongst us

FrozenCloud watch as Ye Cang turned his head and carefully examined each of them with sharp
eyes. Finally he looked at his own chest. Her heart sank, did he find out!?

Ye Cangs eyes furious looked up and towards Lele. Lele! Its definitely you and your big
mouth!!

Zhang ZhengXiong sighed. I knew it.

Really? Hey hey, I dont remember telling Sister Rose. Lin Le rubbed his head and smiled.

Ye Cang felt a bit resentful as he looked towards the sky.

FrozenCloud let out a sigh of relief.

ThornyRose and the girls looked over puzzled, what were they doing over there? They slowly
walked over. Ive also notified SpyingBlade and hes on his way. You conscienceless bastard.

Actually we only just received the news and were about to message you, but you were already
here. We really are a close knit team. Come ~give~me~five!!. Ye Cang said without a trace of
shame or any other reaction. He slowly raised his hand, and held it in midair. He saw
ThornyRose silently glaring at him, so he awkwardly retrieved his hand.

Whats the quest? ThornyRose sighed and asked.

Give me a highfive and Ill tell you. Ye Cang said, making ThornyRose helplessly roll her
eyes. She weakly reached out and patted his hand.

Actually, I didnt tell you because its not really a clearly defined quest. We just need to
investigate the northern forest and find out what the black werewolves are doing. Ye Cang said,
hiding the real request. His real objective was to retreive the jewels for the mayor. He also kept it
a secret that the werewolves were actually past residents of Really New Village corrupted by the
evil wolf. That story was definitely important later. The mayor asked us to scout a bit and help
out with any threats against Really New Village. We were just going to take a quick look and
come back, nothing else! I was going to let you all rest a bit before the big fight later. Hah

ThornyRose and the three girls looked at them expressionlessly and said in a cold voice. That
right?

Brother LilWhite, so awesome. Lin Le said full of respect. Zhang ZhengXiong gave him a
cold glance.

Pinky swear! Ye Cang said with a clear conscience.

ThornyRose walked up to him, and leaned close to his cheek. She turned her head and smiled
before quietly whispering: Jewels

Ye Cangs heart sank. He turned around and roared at Lin Le: Damn Lele! No allowance for
you today!

Lin Le pouted, his ahoge trembled resentfully. I really didnt say

FrozenCloud quickly pulled Lin Le aside to placate him. She quietly whispered: Your
allowance today, Ill give it to you

Really!? Lin Le said immediately cheering up.

How much? FrozenCloud quietly asked.

Lin Le held up 5 fingers. FrozenCloud sent over 5000 Federal dollars. That should be enough
right?
Lin Le looked at his account and saw he had a lot of money! For Lele, whose daily allowance
was only 500 federal dollars, this was a fortune. He quietly nodded acting like a child who was
bribed. He then made a naive smile and said: LilDino, youre the best~

FrozenCloud found Lin Le amusing and couldnt refrain from petting him. He was really like a
child, even though he was around the same age as her.
Chapter 52: Quick Wit
SpyingBlade also arrived and asked puzzled: Theres a follow up quest?

Ye Cang indifferently nodded: Mm, we just found out too. Since everyone is here, lets go.

ThornyRose watched Ye Cang brush over the subject while looking all serious. She sighed and
didnt add anything.

Ye Cang brought everyone on the familiar route and arrived at the enormous holy oak tree.
ThornyRose looked up at the enormous tree lit up by the morning sun. Under the tree, there were
many wild animals, such as spotted deers, resting. She thought it over, and realised that no one
had come here before. Just how did these three know about this place? However they found it, it
was definitely not by chance.

In the past, we fought an elite black werewolf here, so I thought that there would be more of
them around. Ye Cang said and everyone nodded. SpyingBlade spent some time examining the
surroundings. He looked at the leaves on the ground and pointed to the northwest. The leaves in
this direction are different than the rest, like theyre often stepped on. He moved the leaves and
looked at the footprint underneath. It was similar but different from a wolfs, clearly belonging to
werewolves. He followed the footprints, sweeping the leaves out of the way and became sure.
Lets go, it should be this way. The footprints are fairly fresh. Follow me.

ThornyRose nodded. SpyingBlade was a famous lone wolf, so he was proficient in scouting and
tracking. Looking at the footprints, it did indeed come from that direction. Everyone followed
closely behind him.

They started moving further and further away from the holy oak and noticed the surrounding
forest was slowly changing. The trees were more withered and twisted, and there was a layer of
fog covering the ground.

The fog is becoming thicker. Everyone stay close, dont wander too far. SpyingBlade said as
he backed up. Everyone stuck together, alert. Ye Cang frowned and put away his bow, instead
taking out his two handed sword. This sort of environment wasnt ideal for ranged attackers, he
would also more likely to hit allies by accident.

SpyingBlade was like a hunting hound. Every few steps, he would examine the ground like he
was sniffing it, then hed think a bit before continuing. This time, they turned right. Because of
the bad visibility, everyone stuck closely together. They felt like they were traveling a maze. But
to someone like SpyingBlade, this was nothing. He explored labyrinths, forests, sinkholes, etc all
the time by himself in search of treasure. Although FrozenBloods scouting ability wasnt as
high has SpyingBlades, but she was very good at remembering directions. As for scouting,
Thorns and Roses had The Hundred Blooming Archer - ElegantFragrance.

As for Ye Cangs group, they didnt really have any worries. It was fine as long as they followed
closely.
It sounded like the trees were weeping as the wind blewing past them. It made everyone feel a
little bit frightened. Lin Le pulled on Ye Cangs sleeve. Brother LilWhite, whats that sound?

Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong hadnt learned much science. They shook their heads.

Its the sound of the wind passing through those dead trees, nothing special. ThornyRose
explained. Lin Le sighed in relief and nodded.

At this time, SpyingBlade suddenly stopped. Theres something approaching! Everyone careful!
Dont get separated!

They could faintly hear the sound of claws ripping through the leaves as it approached them.
However the wailing of the dead trees made it hard to tell which direction it came from. They
could only continue to be alert.

Awooo! From within the fog, something pounced towards GreenDew. ThornyRose quickly
stepped in front and blocked it with her shield. From the other side, two more pounced and
attacked Lin Le and SpyingBlade. Just as the one attacking Lin Le jumped out of the fog, a red
light flashed. A straight thrust strengthened by the swords active ability stabbed forwards. Ye
Cangs two handed sword pierced into the werewolfs heart and pulled out, all in an instant. Only
afterwards did the werewolf howl out in pain. Zhang ZhengXiong took advantage of the time it
stopped moving and smashed it with his shield. He raised his other hand and released a double
strike. His hammer smashed twice on its injured chest. Lin Les heavy axe followed closely
behind, beheading it.

In the front, SpyingBlade took a step and dodged the pounce. He reversed his grip on his hooked
saber and stabbed it into its neck. The strike looked extremely brutal. He then immediately
retreated and created some distance. FrozenCloud came to assist, moving around him and taking
is place. She activated her Fine-Black-Iron Protectors counter and blocked with her two tonfas.
The werewolf who was just stabbed by SpyingBlade furiously raised its claws and slashed.
Counter succeeded! Her right tonfa instantly rushed out and smashed into its chin, knocking it
out.

The remaining werewolf was quickly finished off by everyone.

This environment is disadvantageous for us. Its good that there werent too many.
ThornyRose said and immediately they heard the sound of more werewolves approaching. There
were more than last time, as their sounds overpowered the wailing of the trees.

Everyones heart sank. It wasnt a number they could deal with. What scared them the most was
that there wasnt a way to escape. Unfortunately, vision here was too bad, retreating could get
them separated.

F**k! You jynx! AXiong, quickly prepare the fire! LilDino, take AXiongs place! Ye Cang
glared at ThornyRose, and immediately reacted with his quick wit.
Zhang ZhengXiong realised what he was trying to do. He quickly and skillfully took out the
firewood, placed some tinder on it, and started the fire. Ye Cang hurried to take his iron pot out.
He started boiling some water and took the time to loot one of the corpses beside him. God
Dammit, nothing at all again! In rage, he slashed at the corpse, dismantling it, and throwing it
into the pot. He then took some fishman parts, some red slime, some green slime, and threw it all
in. He carelessly threw in some seasonings, and after thinking it over, he threw in the leftover
wolf meat and mushrooms.

ThornyRose and the others were speechless. Did he go mad? They were in such a dangerous
situation yet he was still leisurely making that disgusting dish? She sensed the sound coming
closer and closer. Damn! Stop being dumb! Hurry and prepare for battle.!?

Although the stew had not yet finished, but the foods fragrance was already spreading.
ThornyRose could feel her stomach revolting already. Everyone began to feel a sting feeling in
their eyes, making it difficult to keep them open. The eye-stinging and disgusting dish released
an unblockable smell that invaded into the depths of their mind.

ThornyRose was watching the few werewolves who were pouncing over. They suddenly made a
Wuu~ Wuu~ whine, and turned tail to run for their lives. The surrounding noise also got further
and further away. They were soon gone without a trace.

ThornyRose was stunned. What sort of biological weapon was that!?

Everyone looked astonished towards the solemn chef who had his arms crossed and an
indescribably smile on his face. The thought: What have you been feeding us this whole time!?
You sure its edible? went through their minds.

So dangerous. Last time we almost died to a werewolf, we were level 3 at the time. We were
not its match, not to mention it was a rare elite. Good thing it knocked over my bros iron pot
and accidently ate some of the food that had gone cold. Then it stopped breathing, started
foaming at the mouth, and was beaten to death by us. Zhang ZhengXiong said with a bright
smile.

Humph~ the art of cooking is not only about making things delicious. One must also grasp how
the ingredients reinforce each other. Hah~ The path of a chef is as boundless as the sea,
extremely vast and profound. You guys wouldnt understand. Ye Cang said with his eyebrows
raised. He had his hands clasped behind his back and looked like a lonely expert.

Brother LilWhite seems so amazing! Lin Le said while pinching his nose, making him sound
silly.

Its nothing~ Ye Cang received Lin Les worshiping gaze, and modestly waved his hand.
However his other hand was also plugging his nose.

The others were still recalling the scene where the werewolves turned tail and ran, but were
snapped out of their thoughts by the increasingly disgusting smell. Hearing Ye Cang, Zhang
ZhengXiong and Lin Les conversation, they silently looked at the contents of the pot. They got
goosebumps as they gulped and backed up a few steps.
Chapter 53: Cabin Basement
Since its already cooked, we shouldnt waste it. Everyone, lets eat and heal up a bit. Ye Cang
looked at them and said indifferently while pinching his nose

ThornyRose looked absurdly at Ye Cang, then looked towards the thing that could only be
described as a nightmare. Before she wasnt aware, but seeing the werewolves reaction, she
didnt know if she had the guts to eat it again.

SpyingBlade looked at the stats the food would give, and its not like it was his first time. As a
famous treasure hunter, he had faces many bitter situations and suffered through many hardships.
He clenched his teeth, took the bowl, and began to eat. FrozenBlood looked at his shivering body
with admiration. As expected of the lone wolf, hes really worthy of his reputation.

As expected of brother SpyingBlade! How could us four brothers continue to act so weakly!
AXiong! Lele! LilDino! Dont let others look down on us! Do it! Ye Cang raised his bowl and
gulped it down. Zhang ZhengXiogn and Lin Le nodded with gloomy expressions, especially Lin
Les expression filled with hardship and suffering. FrozenCloud hesitated. She recalled earlier
today when she was almost revealed to be a spy. She sighed, took a bowl, and joined the three of
them.

The remaining three girls frowned. ThornyRose took a bowl and choked down its contents. It
doesnt matter who looked down on her but she can never let that perverted lowlife criticize her!
FrozenBlood and GreenDew made a face like theyll die together with her, and started eating
too. The nightmare like fragrance was all anyone remembered.

Surrounding the Pot, everyone woke up quivering. Ye Cang put it away, looking a bit haggard.
He said to everyone: Lets continue onwards.

After the earlier encounter, the rest were within the limits they could cope with. At most, there
were 6 werewolves at once. Every once in awhile they would meet an elite, but they werent too
hard to deal with. Everyone managed to get a few fine equipment. They also found a +2
Dexterity, +1 Strength, excellent quality hemp shorts with some leather for protection. Although
Ye Cang pushed strongly for a roll, he ended up paying a cheap 20 silver for them. After quickly
putting them on, everyone burst into laughter. They couldnt help but think he looked like a
boyscout. However the heavy plated shoulder guards on his left shoulder clashed with his boy
scout image, making it look strange. ThornyRose was puzzled, she probably had the stats to
equip those shoulders but how could a knight equip it? She didnt want to ask because every
player had their secrets.

SpyingBlade brought everyone through the fog and they arrived at an abandoned cabin. It was
surrounded by deep moss and tall weeds. Obviously no one had lived here in awhile. Even the
windows and doors were old and decrepit. The cabin had two floors. There was also some
limestone they could cut out that would sell for a decent amount. On the path going towards the
entrance, they could see clearly see werewolf footprints.
Be extra careful going in, these footprints are big. I fear they are made by a boss. SpyingBlade
squatted down and pressed on the earth and moss under the footprint to determine the owners
approximate size. It was definitely not small.

Everyone nodded. Zhang ZhengXiong used his warhammer and smashed open the decrepit door.
ThornyRose stood beside him ready to help at any time. FrozenCloud stood at the back of the
group incase enemies came from behind. Everyone entered the house slowly and carefully.

Once inside, they saw that it didnt look like a home for a human. It was more like a den for
monsters. Every direction was covered in deep claw marks, and scattered all over the floor were
damaged human skeletons. It should be the remains of the werewolfs victims. The floor was
covered in numerous bloodstains. The environment was dark and moist. Many fungi were
growing all over the place. The damp air carried with it the sickening smell of mold and rot,
however it wasnt much compared to the smell of that thing they ate earlier.

Ye Cang gestured up the stairs. Zhang ZhengXiong nodded and everyone followed him up. They
walked on the simple stone steps and arrived at the second floor. There were only two rooms,
one on each side. The door had long been destroyed, leaving wooden scrap scattered across the
floor. The room to the left, besides some skeletons, was empty. The room on the right should be
a bedroom, they could still see a drawer that could be considered in decent condition. In it were a
bunch of damp, moldy papers. The bed, like the door had been torn apart and was scattered all
over the place. The cotton had already grown fungi, and was emitting a stink.

ThornyRose took the papers out and saw that the words had already become hard to read. She
could barely piece together a few key pieces of information. It seems the owner of this house was
called Tayce. There was also something about sacrifices to a wolf god. The so called wolf god
was called Dina. It had one day called in all of its followers, which included the cabins owner.
Once he arrived, he was doubtful seeing that the original white and pure wolf god had become
pitch black and ferocious, but he still accepted the ceremony. Then the wolf god used some
sacrifices to share her powers with her followers. After this, the documents became mostly
illegible but she could still tell that the further she read, the messier the writing became. She
could vaguely tell that Tayce was writing about how he was losing his humanity and sanity day
by day. He was becoming more and more ferocious. He would often lose his consciousness and
wake up with a mouthful of blood and guts.

I cant control myself Im being consumed by my strength and blood. Someone save me!

Ive eaten my wife and daughter Hehe~ I actually ate them! HaHA~! I I!

There wasnt anything after this. Everyone frowned, it seemed that the wolf god was somehow
controlling and corrupting the believers.

They didnt find anything else in the room, so they returned to the first floor. In the dark cabin,
Ye Cang looked towards a corner. Theres a way to the basement over there
With Zhang ZhengXiong leading, everyone arrived before the basement. It was a pretty spacious
space, about 20 square meters. Looking around, they came across those sparkling jewels stolen
from the mayor. It was a case filled with necklaces and rings embedded with precious gems. Ye
Cang took it and put it away. He sighed, if it werent for Lele, they could have hogged the
reward. What bothered him most was that they couldnt keep the jewels. There was so much of
it, yet they were all quest items.

It looks like the werewolf that stole these jewels should be the owner of this cabin - Tayce and I
think his goal wasnt these jewels. They should have been plundered as an extra after the hunt.
SpyingBlade said looking around at the scattered bones. Not far away were a few, fairly fresh,
human remains. The flesh remaining on the bones hadnt even dried up yet. This was probably
his prefered place to eat.

Since weve gotten the goods, lets leave and return to Really New Village. ThornyRose
reminded them.

Shh~! Ye Cang heard something. He signalled everyone to be quiet. They could hear the
sound of claws scratching the wooden floor. I approaching the stairs they had come down from.
The sound became more and more clear. Closer and closer

TN: Did I manage to convey some horror?

Chapter 54: Such Good Teamwork
Prepare for battle ThornyRose said, pulling out her longsword. She lowered her body and
frowned. Had it come back?

Zhang ZhengXiong raised his crystal shield, and held his warhammer tightly. Everyone stared at
the entrance to the basement.

Ye Cang also slowly drew his two-handed sword. Friendly fire was too likely in this sort of
cramped space, it would be better to use a melee weapon.

FrozenBlood felt her body give off a danger signal. It was the sixth sense shed obtained after
many years of training and it was very accurate. She quickly rolled to the side.

The moment she rolled, everyone heart a Bang~ Clatter~ from above them. A huge wolf hand
tore through the ceiling and grabbing at the place FrozenBlood had just escaped from. If she
didnt have her sixth sense, she would have been plucked by her head. SpyingBlade quickly
estimated, looking at that solid but slender arm, that this werewolf was at least twice as big as the
others.

Lin Le faced the arm and chopped at it with his heavy axe causing a burst of blood. The people
nearby also took this chance to launch an attack, causing quite a bit of damage to the arm. A
bestial cry of pain could be heard upstairs. It quickly pulled its arm back.

After attacking, ThornyRose saw it pull back its arm and she quickly retreated from the hole in
the ceiling and shouted: Spread out! It should be coming down now!

Everyone retreated and looked around, especially at the hole in the ceiling.

A red pair of eyes with an ominous glint appeared at the entrance. Everyones heart jumped, its
coming! A black figure pounced over. It was so tall that it almost reached the basement ceiling.
It lowered its stance and stared at them with its fierce eyes.

Black Werewolf - Tayce (Rare - Boss)

Zhang ZhengXiong shouted out vigorously and directly rushed over. His crystal shield blocked a
claw attack, numbing his shield arm. Such a terrifying strength. His physical resistance was so
high, but he was still pushed back leaving him unsteady.

The 8 people formed a circle and faced Tayce and they simultaneously began attacking violently.
ThornyRose charged in to fill Zhang ZhengXiongs spot. Her sword set ablaze and slashed
forwards. FrozenCloud was on her right side analyzing Tayces movements, planning to counter
him. FrozenBlood, SpyingBlade, and Ye Cang also started their attacks. On the other side,
GreenDew had already started casting magic missile.
Tayce stopped ThornyRoses burning slash with its bare hand. Its other hand grabbed towards
FrozenBlood. FrozenBlood slightly leaned her body, causing it to miss. Her daggers stabbed into
its waist. SpyingBlade circled around it and leapt, activating his hooked sabers ability. A
ferocious stab pierced into the back of its neck. Ye Cang charged over with big steps before
suddenly stopping. His dark red sword thrust forwards like a flash, piercing into its throat and
instantly pulling out, bringing with it a fountain of blood. All these attacks cause it to howl in
pain and anger. Lin Le had also left a bloody scar on its chest.

Zhang ZhengXiong also leapt back in at this time. His warhammer swung out twice, beating on
its forehead. The sound of cracking bones could be heard. He then activated his hammers
ability, stunning it. GreenDews magic missile arrived and smashed into its chest. She waved
her wand and a wind blade quickly followed. Then the pages on her apprentices tome flipped
and countless icicles shot forwards. All of them hit accurately. SpyingBlade raised his eyebrows
impressed. This chain of magic had a really good rhythm, it wasnt rushed or too slow.

Having suffered so much beating, Tayce couldnt stop screaming in pain. It let out a terrifying
howl that echoed off the basement walls, further amplifying it. Everyone felt a burst of dizziness.
Zhang ZhengXiong was a bit better off, since he added mostly Constitution. His ability to resist
was the best in the party, but he still felt a bit weakened. Who knew the boss still had a crowd
control skill, and it actually became stronger in this environment.

A cold light flashed in its eyes and its claws attacked repeatedly. FrozenBlood, SpyingBlade,
Ye Cang and Lin Le all barely managed to block it, but they were still sent flying like kites that
had their strings cut. They had lost most of their health from that one blow. ThornyRose grit her
teeth and stabbed towards its chest with her longsword. Looking at the back hand blow coming
towards her, she raised her shield at an angle and was sent flying upwards. She landed, regained
her balance, and readied her shield again. GreenDews spell had been interrupted, and while the
roar still echoed through the room, she was unable to concentrate enough to begin casting again.

Tayce huffed and fixed its sight on the distant GreenDew. That Mage has to die! It started
making its way over while swinging its two claws. Zhang ZhengXiong quickly blocked it but
was knocked away. At the same time, he activated his rings ability. A light flashed. It was also
affected by the environment and looked especially dazzling in this dark basement. Tayce wailed,
covering its stinging eyes, its vision covered in white.

Lin Le was standing close by, and the echoes had finally settled. He quickly leapt over with his
battle axe, taking Zhang ZhengXiongs position. His heavy axe chopped down towards its head
with a heavy strike, but it went slightly off course hitting its shoulder blade. He quickly backed
up a few steps. Tayces blood throbbed and it regained its vision. It saw Lele in front of it. Its
eyes flashed red and it pounced towards him. Lin Le quickly activated his axes ability. A flame
shot out and stopped Tayce mid attack, but Tayce held its ground until the skill ended. It stared
at Lin Le even more resentful. It took a big stride, and its right claw slashed down at him. Lin
Le figured it was time, his two eyes started looking towards the bridge of his nose, becoming
cross-eyed.
Everyone saw Tayce freeze as it was about to hit Lin Le, its two red eyes full of confusion like
it was asking Why am I here? Ah!? My eyes are so weird.

Everyone stop attacking. On my count! Ye Cang said and switched places with Lin Le.

So it turned out that this skill was Leles the others thought. It was even a mental gaze type, as
it seemed to require eye-contact. Such a rare skill. If his opponents dont look in his eyes, they
would lose quite a bit of battle power because wisdom alone isnt enough to tell intent. Alot can
be gleaned from the opponents expressions through their eyes.

Ye Cang saw that everyone was about ready. GreenDews spell was also about to be cast. He
started counting: 3, 2, 1!

His two hands held his sword as he stepped forwards and slashed, waking up Tayce from its
confusion. He then activated his shoulder guards ability, slamming into its chin! Tayces body
was pushed slightly back. Ye Cang then took his two-handed which glowed a red light, and
performed another straight thrust right at its throat.

ThornyRoses longsword stabbed towards its heart from behind. The magic missiles exploded
on its chest. SpyingBlade and FrozenBloods weapons struck, bringing a spurt of blood. They
then quickly moved away for Lin Le who was charging over, his axe chopped towards its waist,
firmly chopping into it. Zhang ZhengXiong who had been waiting for his chance leapt over and
smashed his warhammer onto its head, finishing it off.

Congratulations. Youve slain the Black Werewolf - Tayce. Receive 650 experience.
Chapter 55: Secret Stash
Ye Cang wanted to loot it, but before he could even raise his hand, a familiar silhouette pounced
on him, and he felt a soft feeling. Eh~ its the crazy old lady.

FrozenBlood made an odd expression. It looked like it had really become a reflex.

No one was surprised by it anymore. Lin Le shrugged and walked over to loot the body.

ThornyRoses heart ached at her own bravery. Her body had moved before her mind even
realised what was happening. It had become a reflex to prevent that filthy hand from touching
the corpse. She absentmindedly got up and sadly looked towards the hole in the ceiling feeling
extremely depressed. Whats wrong with me. What evils did my ancestors commit to deserve
this. Before meeting that bastard, I was Miss Rose. Not just in china, but in the whole world, I
could be considered one of the top 100 players. Ive actually become like this

There will be a day. No one can stop me! I will definitely loot a boss and obtain divine
equipment! Humph! Ye Cang also indignantly crossed his arms and looked towards that same
hole in the ceiling. This hand of mine was born to loot divine equipment! These mortals are too
superstitious.

FrozenBlood arrived beside ThornyRose and sighed as she patted her shoulder. Right now,
BornFlirty definitely hasnt done as well as us. Does that make you feel any better?

ThornyRose thought Thats right, that dumb b***h definitely hasnt done as well as I have.
and felt much better. Then she thought of the food she had been eating, that even beggars
wouldnt eat, and that scared monsters till they peed themselves. She thought of all the suffering
and bitterness she had experiences. Was this her fate? She sighed and crossed her arms. She
looked towards Ye Cang who also had his arms crossed and was looking towards the ceiling.
The grinding of her teeth echoed throughout the basement. This cursed perverted lowlife, its all
his fault!

FrozenBlood looked between ThornyRose and Ye Cang, and smiled. It seemed like her hate
towards him was a level above her hate towards BornFlirty.

Meanwhile, Lin Le was praying at the body. LilTay, rest in peace. Go to heaven and join your
wife and daughter.

Brother LilWhite, Sister Rose, we got a necklace, a scroll, and a something something treasure
map. Lin Le said, taking out three things from the boss.

Treasure map!? SpyingBlade said interested. As a treasure hunter, there was nothing more
attractive than a treasure map with a chest at the end.

Ye Cang quickly took the three things.

Tayces Protective Charm (Superior - Demonic)

Category: Necklace

Requirements: None

+2 Strength

+2 Dexterity

+3 Constitution

Wolverine Strike (Rare - Beginner Level): Perform an attack as ferocious as a wolverine dealing
160% damage with a chance to stun the target. Cost: 20 Rage or Energy. Cooldown: 1 minute
(Required: Grappler or Knight)

Tayces secret stash: Before becoming corrupted, Tayce hid a few treasures from his wife and
daughter. (PS: Men Hah~)

ThornyRose speechlessly looked at the treasure map. She thought of that one night, her father
was again being scolded by her mother. That night, she had accidently found her fathers secret
stash. It was actually in a hidden space behind her bed. Then her father had tried to bribed her
what a pitiful father. She shook her head, snapping out of her thoughts. She looked at the
necklace which increased the 3 basic attributes. Whether its defensive or offensive classes, they
would all want it. Everyone except GreenDew can use the necklace. What do you think?

Oh, then lets roll. Ye Cang calmly proposed. It was rejected by ThornyRoses groups shout:
Get Lost!

Lets do this then. The skillbook can go to LilDino, and well bid for the necklace.
ThornyRose said after thinking it over. FrozenCloud was hers and she was a grappler. It was
much better to let her learn it then to let this stupid jack of all trades get it.

Ye Cang crossed his arms and thought for a bit. LilDino was his companion, so he wouldnt
fight over it. It would be more useful for her anyways. He gave the book directly to
FrozenCloud. Here.

Thanks everyone. FrozenCloud took the book and learned it. With this skill, her power would
rise by quite a bit. This grappler skill was too important for her.

What about the treasure map? SpyingBlade was tempted by the necklace, but if they auctioned
it, he could only take out a couple gold so it wasnt good for him. Plus he already had a useable
necklace, although it was much worse than this one, it was still excellent quality.

Lets decide after we find it, bid on the necklace first. Starting with 2 gold. No one objected to
ThornyRoses words.
2 gold. SpyingBlade bid.

3 gold. Ye Cang directly raised by 1 gold.

ThornyRose frowned, did this bastard want her to bleed? Any higher would be hard on her
wallet. Although 3 gold was regarded as cheap for this necklace, but gold was just too important.
When they reached the next town at level 10, there would be too many uses for it. Pass.

Pass SpyingBlade also passed. Ye Cang took out 3 gold coins, and except for himself,
everyone got about 40 silver. He ended up getting 1 gold and 30 silver back. It really wasnt
expensive. He slowly replaced his +1 damage wolf tooth necklace. Zhang ZhengXiong, Lin Le
and FrozenCloud had already received a similar necklace at the pawnshop, so they didnt really
mind.

The remaining body was collected by Ye Cang. Everyone realised this was probably going to
end up in their stomachs, and felt like vomiting. They watched as Ye Cang took out the iron pot
and quickly stopped him.

Use healing stream and heal each of us once. ThornyRose quickly said. She didnt know why,
but Ye Cangs healing stream was a lot more potent than before. If she knew, she would
definitely flip out. She thought that he had added many points into intelligence and wisdom, and
even had some spell power raising equipment. Her sight happened to fall upon his tear-drop ring.
It should be that ring. Too bad, it would have been so great on GreenDew.

Ye Cang thought for a bit and agreed. It would be good to save on ingredients. Mana that is not
spent is useless anyways. He chanted and cast healing stream to restore everyones health.

Afterwards, under SpyingBlades guidance, they made it through the dense fog and found the
treasure. It was in an old wooden hunting cabin that was really worn down. It looked like no-one
had been here for a very long time. Under the fireplace, they found a small wooden box.

There was 20 gold and 2 gold bars, making everyone happy. This was a considerable income. Ye
Cangs group took in total 10 gold coins and 1 gold bar. The rest would be distributed by
ThornyRose.

After splitting the loot, the party returned to Really New Village. It was already 12 in the
afternoon. They received Wu Nas reminder to eat lunch.

Were going to go eat. Well message you when were back. Ye Cang said and the three of
them quickly logged out. They left everyone else speechless. All that was left was handing in the
quest, would they die if they ate a bit later!?

Those three guys, Theyre actually really punctual with their daily activity. They never forget to
eat, drink and whatever else. ThornyRose looked at where they disappeared and helplessly
smiled.
Chapter 56: Investigating Their Past
They didnt say a time. SpyingBlade frowned.

I thought of something from yesterday. GreenDew recalled.

What? ThornyRose asked confused.

Sisters, it seems like they are pretty crazy over it. The whole way back, Lele was telling me
and LilGreen all about it. I originally wanted to watch, but after so many spoilers, Ive lost
interest. FrozenBlood looked at ThornyRose and explained.

ThornyRose facepalmed, it turns out they were really planning to watch that crappy drama. She
sighed heavily. Next time shell get his virtual IDs number too, to call him outside the game.

Im gonna go, notify me if anything happens. SpyingBlade said and directly left.

Ye Cangs apartment.

Wow! Todays looks so delicious too!! Lin Le said, abnormally excited.

Todays is also the healthy vegetable and meat set B from next door. Wu Na rolled her eyes
and said.

Its really too delicious Zhang ZhengXiong said feeling moved as he wolfed it down.

Ye Cang held his lunchbox and felt defeated. Hah~ It looks like I still have a ways to go.

Wu Na sighed heavily at these rediculous guys. I heard Sister Li say that our leader has been
angered by 3 dumb guys. Now shes in a bad mood all the time.

Hah~ thats not surprising. There are many idiots every year. This year there are especially
many, such as the crazy ones that bite people. Ye Cang faintly sighed.

Burp~ Im going to take a nap, Goodnight everyone. Lin Le said, after eating his fill.

Nana, Bro, Im going to go work out. Zhang ZhengXiong also finished and said. He lazily
stretched then directly left to head upstairs.

Wu Na wiped her mouth, cleaned up the table, and put the lunch boxes outside the front door.
She then went to the balcony to get some sun and stretch. She looked really skinny in her tanktop
and shorts. Soon, she returned back inside and turned up the fan before wiggling her butt
climbing onto the top bed. Im going back to the game. Sister Li and the others are still waiting
for me and at night I have to practice with the band. How about you? Are you gonna watch TV
and then watch Sisters with Lele?
The weather is pretty good, Ill go up to the roof and get some sun. Ye Cang slowly got up and
smiled.

Right, what level are you guys? Wu Na recalled that Ye Cang and them should be pretty
strong. They just earned 2 million federal dollars the other day.

Ye Cang originally wanted to say he was already past level 8, but thinking it over, he replied:
Almost 8.

So amazing. me, Sister Li and the girls are only level 6. After level 5, you need a lot more
experience. Oh right, remember to save some equipment for me! Wu Na said as she lay down.

Understood Ye Cang said as he watch her connect into the game, then left the room.

On the spacious rooftop.

Zhang ZhengXiong was supporting himself upside down on one finger. He saw Ye Cang slowly
walking over. Bro, I can already open the 2nd genetic lock.

Mm, be careful and dont be too impatient. Ye Cang said, leaning on the railing whille looking
at the distant scenery and enjoying the warm breeze.

I know. Zhang ZhengXiong smiled and continued his exercise. Ye Cang looked around at the
scenery. The atmosphere was friendly and harmonious.

Third Administration Building.

This is Zhang ZhengXiongs background information. I also checked Ye Cang and Lin Le
while I was at it. The ponytailed female commander entered her ID into a terminal and it
showed her name Li LiJia.

The middle aged, scholarly man took the documents and loaded them onto his terminal. He typed
in his ID, and his information popped up. Zhang ShaoFeng, LinHai City Colleges Board
Member.

Zhang ShaoFeng looked at the results of the investigation. Most of it was not new. Zhang
ZhengXiong was born in LinHai and grew up in the slums. He had an older sister, Zhang
QinXue. His father was a heavy drinker and easily angered, and his mother died early. The
brother and sister were often mistreated and beaten. Several times they were almost killed. To
survive, Zhang QinXue had brought him with her and ran away from home. Afterwards, for
reasons unknown, they ended up living in the normal residential area with Ye Cang, and the
three became dependent on each other. At that time, Zhang ZhengXiong was only 10, Zhang
QinXue was 16. Due to curiosity, he stopped there and took out Ye Cangs documents. It was
even more interesting. He was actually abandoned as a baby and picked up near a river by an old
woman who owned a flower shop, Zhao Lili. When he was 9 years old, she died of old age. He
had no relatives, and he was adamant about not going to an orphanage. Because of his strange
appearance, no one wanted to take him in, so he continued to live in Zhao Lilis old apartment by
himself. After a while, he started living with Zhang ZhengXiong and Zhang QinXue. Zhang
QinXue started running the flower shop, and although they couldnt be considered well off, they
also didnt live too badly. Unfortunately when they were 16, because of brain cancer, Zhang
QinXue chose to jump off a bridge and commit suicide.

At this point, the middle aged man was filled with sorrow. When Li LiJia was investigating, she
also felt some pity.

Afterwards, there wasnt much information. Mostly a bunch of ordinary things. Ye Cang lived in
seclusion. Zhang ZhengXiong managed to complete his studies. Not long after, both of them
moved to LinHais east district to attend College. For some reason, all the criminals in the east
district were afraid of them. Another strange thing was that in highschool, Zhang ZhengXiongs
physique was extremely ordinary. Compared with him now, it would be like the difference
between heaven and earth.

On the other side, Lin Les story was also very interesting. All three of these guys were orphans.
This Lin Le was a typical orphan. He grew up in XinYun citys orphanage. Because of his low
IQ and wisdom, he was often bullied by the other kids, however he was still extremely
optimistic. He went to a government run school for orphans until he was in highschool. That was
when Song Xin and her fiance went over for some volunteer activity. At that time, there was an
earthquake, almost everyone was trapped under rubble, and there were even many deaths. From
then on, Song Xin renounced the Sun house, cancelled her engagement, and took Lin Le away
from the orphanage; sending him to this college. Reading the end, his mouth hung wide open.
Wasnt this too suspenseful? That Song Xin had actually become his girlfriend!!? What exactly
happened during that time!?

I was also really curious when I read that. Song Xin actually gave up the chance to be the
imperial capitals Sun houses first wife and chose to be with this guy that could almost be
considered a handicapped person. He doesnt even have any family background. Li LiJia didnt
understand. These three were all shrouded in misery and mystery.

Well I more or less understand them now. The main point is Zhang ZhengXiong, find a good
time to discuss with him. Zhang ShaoFeng said, but he still felt it wasnt as simple as it seemed.
There wasnt much information about the three, especially Ye Cang, after their childhood.
Actually, there was barely any. The little bits were so normal that it seemed strange.

TN: Dam, thats sad

Chapter 57: Their First Meeting
Bro, are you still unable to let it go? Zhang ZhengXiong asked. He put some strength into his
finger and flipped upright.

Im already over it, I just feel regretful. How great it would have been if I had awakened before
that happened. Perhaps this body of mine could have saved her. Ye Cang said, still
absentmindedly looking into the distance. He thought to himself: AXiong. What you dont
know is that QinXues death was only the beginning of the nightmare. He shook his head, it
was all in the past.

Bro, sister wouldnt want you to keep suffering while thinking of her. Zhang ZhengXiong
knew how big of a blow his sisters death was to him and Ye Cang. The two of them had planned
be together forever, they were even engaged. Although at the time, Ye Cang was only 15 and she
was already 21, he always gave others a feeling safety. During the siblings toughest times, it
was he who offered them a home. Thinking of that day, Zhang ZhengXiong looked towards the
bright sunny sky, it was nothing like today. It was a cold winter day and it was raining heavily.
Their father had just taken out his anger on him and his sister and even wanted to violate her.
Recalling that time, he remembered how powerless he was. They ran away from home and were
hurting, and hungry, and cold. In a small ally, his sister hugged him trying to keep him warm.
Hungry and cold, the rain felt like sharp knives as it hit their skin. It was at this moment, a big
black umbrella appeared and covered the brother and sister. The two were still feeling
muddleheaded and got frightened. They thought it was the grim reaper who had come to take
them away from the world. Under the umbrella, calmly looking at them was a white haired,
white browed child with white eyelashes and pink eyes. The siblings couldnt help but hug each
other tighter in fright. In the end, the girl asked with a smile: Are you here to bring us to hell?

The white haired child didnt answer. He looked at them shivering, and thought of his
grandmothers teachings. Little Cang, you should always help others when you can. He
childishly asked: Cold?

The two of them didnt understand, but nodded anyways.

Hungry? The little Ye Cang asked calmly but also childishly.

The two nodded again.

Zhang ZhengXiong thought of that time and couldnt stop smiling. After that, he and his sister
started living with Ye Cang. He slowly walked over and threw an arm around Ye Cangs
shoulder. Bro, lets not think about these things anymore. Its already 2:30. If we return now,
we can go watch Sisters

Ye Cang crossed his arms and smiled calmly. Lets go.

Arriving back in their apartment, Lin Le had already woken up and was making a phone call.
They knew who it was without even thinking. Ye Cang raised his eyebrows and walked up in
front of him. Lele, give me the phone. I have something important to say to her.

AXin. Brother LilWhite wants to talk to you. Lin Le said then gave Ye Cang the phone.

Cough~ Cough~ Little Sister in law, the business I brought up last time, can we discuss it
again. Ye Cang said as he smiled professionally.

In america, on a private plane, a beautiful woman rolled her eyes. Her body was a little chubby,
and under one of her eyes was a beauty mark. This woman was Song Xin. She grumpily roared:
Get lost! Ye Cang, Lele told me that youre all professional gamers now? And Nana moved in
with you?

Yup. Ye Cang shrugged.

Thats good, there needs to be someone to watch over you three. Well, no more rubbish, give
the phone back to Lele! Song Xin faintly nodded.

Ye Cang sighed, and faced Zhang ZhengXiong making an X. Zhang ZhengXiong also sighed.
Such a wealthy woman and Lele has no intention of sucking up to her.

Lin Le took the phone back.

Lele. That damn white head didnt bully you, did he?

Brother LilWhite treats me very well.

Ye Cang petted his head.

If theres anything you want, tell me. Got it?

I dont need anything. Im already very happy being able to fulfil my dream of going to college.

Song Xin felt her heart ache. Thats good. I still have to make a trip to Russia, but Ill be back
in a few days. Take good care of yourself, got it?

Mm! I can take care of myself, stop worrying about me

After asking about his health for a bit, she hung up the phone. Song Xing leaned on the couch
and slowly closed her eyes, her face still full of smiles. She knew he didnt want her to keep
helping him, but he was too much like a child. In order to keep an eye on him, she got a second
job at the college, but nothing was going well. It was not like he didnt want to fit in, but there
would always be people who bullied him. Its good that he met Ye Cang. Although she was a bit
jealous, but she had to admit that Ye Cang really treated him like a little brother. She thought
back to that day, she had wanted to scout him, but was threatened by him instead.
You should be Leles girlfriend. I dont care who you are, and dont want to know. If I find out
that youre playing with his feelings, and hurt him, Ill make you regret it.

How will you make me regret it? On what basis?

You dont want to know.

Song Xin felt an emotionless killing intent behind his indifferent expression and her whole body
broke out in cold sweat. This guy wasnt kidding, he was definitely someone dangerous. That
Zhang ZhengXiong also wasnt simple, his physique was all ranked A+. Students with all A rank
in their basic stats could be counted on her two hands, and A+ was the limit of the basic testing
machine. If he passed the 2nd combat exam, he could become a monster that surpassed A+. She
had also used all means to get information on Ye Cang. Besides his sad life story, she learned he
might be a reserve member of the Dragon group.

After interacting with them for two years, she discovered that these two were really quite good
people. They became some of her few friends. Most importantly, Lele was happy. But every time
they called her little sister in law, she would be speechless, as she was a few years older than
them. She then recalled the incident at the orphan school and murmured gently: Lele

Brother LilWhite! Brother LilXiong! Sisters is starting! Lin Le saw that it was three
oclock. Ye Cang quickly changed the channel.

Last episode, ADuo and ASuo were having a catfight by the cliff and ADuo accidently fell.
AXiang grieved and ended up getting closer to ASuo again. But back at the cliff, ADuo hadnt
died! She was saved by AXiang master and had transformed after several months of his
tutelage. Now ADuo has learned an even more powerful b***h attack and returned to the city!
ASuo was still happily spending time with AXiang not knowing that a big threat was
coming

We finally get to see ADuo after her fortuitous encounter. So exciting Lin Le murmured.

Actually, I prefer ASuo Hearing Zhang ZhengXiongs words, the gave him a dirty glare.
Shes just a b***h, youre so shallow!

Eh Zhang ZhengXiong was speechless. Were they watching the same show? ADuo doesnt
lose in any way compared to ASuo when it comes to being a b***h.

After watching the intense action, Ye Cang was full of admiration.

Next episode, ASuo, during her crisis, happens to see a shooting star and comprehended a sure
death attack. Armed with her high heels, can she make a comeback? Look forwards to next
episode where mysterious technique meets mysterious technique! Burst forth, my high heels!
Oh my god we definitely cant miss tomorrows episode Zhang ZhengXiong said and the
other two nodded in agreement.

TN: Wow, the first half of this chapter felt like a different novel with how serious it was.

Also there was one line that Ye Cang said about the show near the end that I didnt understand at
all . Its not important, but if anyone knows what it means, I
would appreciate it if you could help me out :)
Chapter 58: New Plan
Ye Cangs group reconnected to the game and immediately got a message from ThornyRose.

Give me an explanation.

Sisters

!@#$!$!!

Everyone once again met up in the center of town. ThornyRose looked at Ye Cang and had the
urge to attack his face. They had waited for almost 4 hours. SpyingBlade shook Lin Les hand.
It was actually pretty good

ThornyRose and the girls rolled their eyes.

After the guards announced their arrival, Ye Cang brought everyone and entered Mars office.

Mayor, are these the jewels you lost? Ye Cang brought out the case full of jewels.

Mar took the case, and looked through the things inside. Good job, youre much better than
those incompetent idiots. Where did you find it?

At the den of a werewolf called Tayce. We found it in his cabin. Zhang ZhengXiong replied.

Tayce if that guy hadnt been corrupted, he would be around my age. Such a sad man, hed
eaten both his wife and daughter. Even if he wasnt completely corrupted, he probably wouldnt
have the will to live. Hah~ Heres your reward.

Congratulations. Youve received 5 gold, 700 experience, more prestige with Really New
Village, and a random class skill.

Congratulations, Youve obtained Precise shot/strike (Rare - Knight): With any weapon, attack
after aiming for a period of time. Ranged weapons will deal 175% damage and penetrate through
the targets. Melee weapons increase the damage of the next attack by 150% (blunt weapons have
a chance to stun). Cooldown: 20 seconds. Cost: 10 energy and 2 mana.

Zhang ZhengXiong received Aura of Vigor (Aura that gives allies +2 Constitution and +2
Strength), and Lin Le got Handcart Home Run (Automatically receive a blueprint for a crude
peddlers handcart. Can summon the handcart and perform a homerun swing dealing (Strength +
Agility) x 1.5 damage. Has a chance to knockback or stun the target. Cooldown: 2 minutes.)

Everyone was extremely happy. A rare class skill! ThornyRose got some sort of movement +
attack skill, Charge Attack. It didnt even require any rage!
Sure enough, I didnt judge wrongly. You three, come with me. The rest of you can leave. Mar
once again waved them away. ThornyRose sighed, how great it wouldve been if shed been the
quest initiator. She left unwillingly. Once outside, she elbowed FrozenCloud. Its up to you to
scout for us! That bastard definitely wont tell us the truth.

FrozenCloud again felt conflicted. Ye Cangs group of 3, although silly, were really good to her.
Even when they thought she was butt ugly, they didnt avoid her. Well thats not completely
true, they didnt treat her completely normally. Instead she became one of their bros. She
continued to think as her heart struggled. Finally, she weakly nodded. I got it, Sister Rose.

LilDino, dont force yourself. FrozenBlood saw her little sister with a twisted expression and
said calmly.

Im not LilDino!! FrozenCloud yelled in a bad mood.

SpyingBlade didnt say anything. It turned out FrozenCloud was a spy for Thorns and Roses
after all. But those three guys are really too lacking in common sense. If they paid any attention,
they would be able to figure out that FrozenCloud was FrozenBloods little sister. Well it didnt
have anything to do with him, in fact it actually helped him a bit. What he didnt know was that
Ye Cang and his group were just too lazy to pay attention.

Mar waited till everyone left, then looked at Ye Cang and said seriously: The Blue Scaled
Fishman Rebel - Yoji is now the chief. The first thing he did was overthrow slavery so hes
much more popular than Gil Rage was. I heard you are an honorary warrior of the fishman tribe.
I hope you can help Really New Village to establish ties with them. In order to fight those
bastard wolves, the support of the blue fishman tribe is essential. Theyve lived at Riley River for
thousands of years, and although we have our differences, there hasnt been any big disputes. It
should be possible to live in harmony excluding that bastard that stole this old mans pearl, but
hes already dead. In other words, Im handing this mission to you. As for the problems at the
cemetery, we can ignore it for now. Those undead have not yet crossed the line.

Ye Cang felt this mission wasnt as easy as it sounded, but it was still feasible, after all, he could
already have a friendly talk with the fishmen. He smiled and didnt refuse. Leave it to me.

Then please. Ill give this to you first. Mar took out a pouch full of money and shoved it over.

There will be more after youve completed the quest, but you must complete it well! Mar
warned.

Well do our best Ye Cang nodded.

Good. You can go prepare then. Mar said. The three of them left the office. Mar turned and
looked at the picture of his father on the wall. Father, the things you couldnt accomplish, Ill
definitely do them for you. Ill wake up all those residents that are still caught in an unending
nightmare
Madam Mar walked in from the courtyard. Hubby, you can do it. Also, that white haired young
man is like me, a half-elf.

Mar smiled. No wonder I keep wanting to temper him, hes just like little Mar.

You come back with me and rest. Youll get sick from working so much. Madam Mar
tugged at him.

Do you regret being a half-elf? Mar turned to her and asked.

Madam Mar shook her head. No, I have you. All the hardships in the past are nothing compared
to what I have now. Half-elves are outcasts among both elves and humans, yet you still held onto
me so tightly, how beautiful is that? Recalling the past, she tenderly hugged him. Hubby, Ill
always be beside you.

Hah~ But Ill pass on before you. Mar said with a smile.

Wherever you go, Ill go too. Madam Mar returned his smile.

You Dont- Mar wanted to retort but was interrupted by Madam Mar. You have to obey me
forever! No matter what!

I got it, boss wife~~ Mar reached out and pinched her butt.

You old pervert! Really~ Madam Mar screamed pleasantly.

Ye Cang and the other two walked out of the office. They took out the pouch of coins and started
counting. God~! There were 25 gold coins! They quickly stored it away and pretended that
nothing had happened as they left the city hall.

The follow up!? ThornyRose asked.

Follow up!? Theres another quest!? How come I didnt know? This missions already over,
everyone can be on their way now. Ye Cang said, acting surprised, his mouth hanging wide
open.

ThornyRose and the other stared at him silently. This guy was just asking for death. He
actually tried to trick them again with such bad acting.

Im just kidding. Were going to the blue scaled fishman tribe to form an alliance against the
wolf god. Ye Cang said, looking towards Riley River.
Chapter 59: Blue Scaled Fishman Tribe
Then lets go check it out while its not dark out. ThornyRose nodded.

Brother LilWhite, I want to make my handcart. Help me make my handcart first. Lin Les
words confused everyone. Handcart? Ye Cang had Lin Le show him the list of materials. There
wasnt anything difficult, they could get everything at Granny Ricas store. Ye Cang nodded and
said: Lets meet up at the southeast gate in half an hour.

Crude Peddlers Handcart (Small Handcart - Common): Can carry a certain amount of items.
Makes it easier to sell the items in the cart. Damage dealt with cart related skills +15%. Can be
summoned and dismissed.

ThornyRose nodded and didnt argue. She figured it had to do with his hidden class. Since it
would be finished quickly, then might as well wait for it. Ok, well wait for you there.

Saying that, ThornyRose brought the others to leave first. Ye Cang brought his group of three to
Ricas store. He found some timber and other parts, and let Lin Le build his handcart. A two
meter long, four wheeled, wooden cart was created.

Brother LilWhite, this cart can hold so much stuff and we can set it up as a stall wherever we
go. Lin Le smiled and giggled with his new toy.

Ye Cang thought it over. It was pretty good, he could use it as a small storage. He took all the
fishman and werewolf meat and put it inside, yet it only took up a small portion of the cart. He
set the price of the meat to 2 silver per pound. Then Lin Le recalled it causing it to dissapear
before everyones eyes.

Granny Rica, do you know anything about the fishmen? Ye Cang asked.

Mm, how should I say it. Theyve lived at Riley river outside of Really New Village for
thousands of years, so they were here long before the human settlers first arrived. Most of the
time, both sides would just mind their own business. Although both sides dont think well of
each other, but it rarely causes any conflict. On the rare occasions we fight, there are never any
grudges. Afterall, its very difficult for humans to fight in the water against aquatic creatures.
Rica said quietly while wiping the table.

Having not learned anything new, Ye Cang brought his party to meet up with ThornyRose. They
faced the southeast and walked towards Riley River, then following the riverbank. ThornyRose
noticed that she had an extra buff. Aura of Vigor? Strength and Constitution +2? Too good! It
would give everyone more health! She looked around, but it didnt take much effort to learn who
the aura belonged to. It definitely belonged to Zhang ZhengXiong. This was an aura that only
priests and paladins could have. The other had also noticed and all praised it in their hearts.
Eventually, they met a group of blue scaled fishmen. Ye Cang stepped forwards showing his ring
and used his blue scaled fishman honorary warrior title. They were then guided to the fishman
village which was situated at a wider part of the river.

A fishman sage guided Ye Cang and his party to the current chief - Yojis tent.

Everyone watched as Ye Cang started chatting and laughing with the huge fishman. All they
heard were gurgling noises and other nonsense. Then the two embraced. The rest of the party felt
awkward, just what the heck was going on?

Ye Cang returned to them and explained. In order to obtain chief Yojis trust, we have to help
out and gain the trust of the villagers. Only then will their high priests be willing to discuss an
alliance against the werewolves.

So we have to stay in the blue scaled fishman village and accept the villagers quests?
SpyingBlade asked, raising his eyebrow.

Thats right Ye Cang nodded.

Then lets hurry and get some quests to earn the villagers trust. None of us understand fishman
language, so we have to depend on you. ThornyRose crossed her arms and said.

Ye Cang brought everyone to walk around the village. Under Ye Cangs recommendation, they
received quite a few quests. They went on land to hunt feral wolves and violent bears, then they
went into the river to catch freshwater shrimp. They babysat little fishmen, helped the elderly
hunt for shellfish, and even helped female fishmen find mates. After three days, everyone was
feeling tired, but they managed to get quite a bit of experience and money. After every mission,
they would also receive a blue scale. They could use it to exchange for items in the armory. Ye
Cang had received the most, after all, he had to be there for every quest to translate. After
receiving some scales, they save them up, and continue to do quests that they didnt understand.
After completing more missions, the high priest - Vasiyas, who could speak human, appeared
and interacted with them several times. Eventually they also managed to learn some basic
fishman language so now they could, with difficulty, accept repeated quests without Ye Cang.
Time passed quickly, and everyones prestige advanced from strangers to respected while Ye
Cang became worshipped. Since he could cast healing stream, he healed many villagers and was
eventually promoted from honorary warrior to elder shaman.

In the chiefs tent

Ye Cang and the chief were speaking and making gurgling sounds. Everyone only managed to
understand about half of it and were still puzzled. Ye Cang then shook the chiefs hand before
returning to the party. Lets go, chief Yoji has agreed. Now we need to find the Head of the
high priests - Vasiyas and bring him to go see mayor Mar for negotiations.
ThornyRose sighed regretfully. It would be good if they could stay a few more days, they were
almost level 10. The quests here were easy, numerous, and the rewards were generous. In these
few days she had earned about 10 gold, not including the value of the equipment she received.

Perfect, we are all at least respected now. Since we all have quite a few scales, lets go look to
the armory and see what we can trade for. SpyingBlade reminded everyone.

Good idea, lets go see what good stuff they have FrozenBlood nodded.

Then lets go Ye Cang brought the party to the military area, not far from the chiefs tent.

Sir elder shaman and brave warriors, do you need anything? The armorys keeper respectfully
saluted.

Everyone looked through the items they could trade for, and felt their heartbeat accelerate. There
were healing items, weapons, armors, accessories, and even skillbooks!

Ye Cang had the highest prestige and the most scales so could pick from a much bigger list than
the others. He had 210 scales while the other had 100 something. He looked at all the sparkling
items and his gaze landed on a black carving of a fishman.

Figurine of Kilaris (Superior - Glorious)

Category: Accessory

Requirements: None

+3 All Attributes

Kilaris Seamless Combo: Upon activation, become a shadow and perform 5 rapid attacks at a
target. Each Attack deals 50% damage and can activate on-hit abilities. During the duration of
the skill, you are immune to damage. Cooldown: 3 hours.

PS: The hero fish - Kilaris, the mightiest blue scaled fishman chief. He once repelled numerous
invading tribes. Now he has become Riley Rivers guardian diety!!
Chapter 60: Really New Villages Diplomat Hero
Ye Cang bought it without hesitation, spending 135 scales. He used the rest to buy a skillbook.

Mirror Image (Rare - Beginner Level): After calling out the activation word in the fishman
language (Instantaneous), leave behind a clone of yourself with 15% of your stats (Controlled by
an intelligent AI) and enter a concealed state. Concealment lasts for 5 seconds, and will be
cancelled upon attacking or being attacked. The clone exists for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute.
Cost: 15 Energy and 5 Mana. (PS: This is the hero fish - Kilaris housekeeping skill)

This skillbook can only be exchanged to those with worshipped status, moreover this was the
only copy. Like the figurine, it was an extremely rare item.

Zhang ZhengXiong got Barbaric Tackle (Perform a berserk tackle against a target, damage based
on strength and constitution) and Lin Le got Leap (Can choose a spot within range and perform a
quick leap towards it. If an attack is performed at the end of a leap, it gains 35% increased
damage and a chance to knockback the target).

ThornyRose was extremely happy, their harvest from the past few days were so abundant. Now
they could even exchange for a skill, although there werent many, but it was still a skill. Once
the alliance is established, the players would definitely flock over. After thinking it over, she
decided to quickly tell her guild members to prepare and occupy the resources here as soon as
possible.

Soon after, the party arrived at the fishman high priests tent.

Im already prepared. Shaman PaleSnow, humans and fishmen should never have started to kill
each other The head high priest Vasiyas said as he rubbed the ornaments on his head. He
tapped the floor with his high priests scepter and said: Lead the way.

Ye Cangs party, as well as some brave fishman fighters and shamans escorted him to town.
They had to pass in front of the eyes of many players. Thankfully, ThornyRose had thought
ahead and had all her guild members in the village come and keep order. They definitely
couldnt let this rabble ruin it!

Thats definitely a boss!

Thats someone elses hidden quest. It looks like theyre going into the village to discuss
something important. Dont you see the Thorns And Roses members have all come to guard
them? That short haired beauty there is Miss Rose, their leader.

Then the assassin should be the Night Empress. But who are those other guys? Especially that
white haired guy in front.

Dunno, but their equipment looks awesome. Look at that little guys axe and gauntlets. I bet
even if we attacked him together, wed be instantly killed.
Dont even mention them. The Thorns and Flower beauties have all come out, its like a garden
of flowers

What a feast for the eyes Pretty Sisters, come violate me!

Me too!!

On the northwest side at the cemetery grounds; YellowSprings and Mad Wars Leader, the
fighting king, CloudDragon had just received the news.

ThornyRose, that silly girl, actually focused her efforts on the fishmen said a purpled haired,
female magician who had sharp facial features, and looked pretty and flirty.

They have their opportunities and we have ours. Lets finish this quest first. CloudDragon said
as he indifferently pulled his longstaff out from a decaying corpses head. He glanced towards
the image that was sent to him Eh~ wasnt that those three guys from before? And that
assassin, was that SpyingBlade?

Who woulda thought that those three would be working with Thorns and Roses. And that
assassin is Spying Blade. YellowSprings smiled.

CloudDragon nodded but didnt speak.

Back in Really New Village. Ye Cang and the party escorted the Head High Priest to the city hall
under the gaze of all the players and the NPC residents. The guards at the door glared at the
fishmen, on full alert.

Head High Priest Vasiyas, please follow me to meet Mayor Mar. The others, please wait
outside. Ye Cang said in the fishman language. Vasiyas nodded, repeated Ye Cangs
instructions to the fishmen and followed Ye Cang into the building.

At this time, the mayor had already been notified and was waiting outside the great hall. He saw
Ye Cang and the Head High Priest arrive. Guest from the blue scaled fishman tribe, head high
priest Vasiyas, welcome.

Thanks for the invitation, Mayor of Really New Village - Tory Mar. Your father was a mighty
man. Him and I have exchanged drinks at the plains near Riley River. Well, its all in the past.
Its already been over 30 years. Vasiyas blinked his big, bulbous eyes and smiled.
Father once told me about that. He said he was friends with a mighty fishman sage. Please,
come in. We can talk more inside. Mar said respectfully. Vasiyass fish mouth formed a smiled
and he walked in, leaning on his scepter.

Mar looked towards Ye Cangs party and praised: Youve done really well. Ill be sure to
reward you after. White hair, you come with me. The rest of you can wait here.

ThornyRose sighed. Hah~ Quest initiator, hidden race, fishman language they were all his.
She thought for a bit, it was still pretty generous to be able to wait here and be rewarded after.
Without speaking, she leaned on one wall and rested her eyes. Lin Le and Zhang ZhengXiong
pulled the other girls over and began trying to brainwash them to watch Sisters.

Ye Cang followed Mar into the great hall. There were only the three of them inside.

State your terms first. Mar smiled and got straight to the point.

You sure are Ainss son. Vasiyas began amiably before bringing up his terms. Mar happily
agreed to them. Afterwards, under Ye Cangs watch, they discuss many matters and finally came
to an agreement. The alliance between the Blue Scaled Fishmen of Riley River and the humans
of Really New Village was formed.

Because of your untiring efforts, the alliance between the Blue Scaled Fishmen and Really New
Village has been formed! Blue Scaled Fishmen and Players of Really New Village are no longer
hostile. Youve left your mark on both Blue Scaled Fishmen and Really New Villages history.
Your prestige has reached Legendary with both factions. Youve obtained the titles Blue
Scaled Pioneer and Really New Village Diplomat Hero. Also obtain the achievement Friend
of the Fishmen (+1 Dexterity. Fishmen wont take the initiative to attack you. Gain prestige
with the fishman race more easily.)

Due to having reached Legendary prestige with the Blue Scaled Fishmen, you gain the
blessing of the Blue Scaled Fishmen which gives you the racial skill (Blue Scaled Fishman)
Aquatic Killer (Deal an additional 10% damage to aquatic creatures. Your swim speed and
diving time have increased substantially.)

Due to having reached Legendary prestige with Really New Village, your racial skill:
Diplomatic has become Diplomat (Obtain +25% prestige. Become more persuasive.)

System Announcement! Due to the efforts of Really New Villages Diplomat Heroes PaleSnow,
as well as ThornyRose, HeavenShakingMight, HappyAndCheerful, FrozenBlood, FrozenCloud,
SpyingBlade, and GreenDew, Really New Village has officially formed an alliance with the Blue
Scaled Fishmen! All players obtain unfriendly prestige with the Blue Scaled Fishmen! If either
Really New Village or the Blue Scaled Fishmen Tribe are attacked, player will receive wanted
status with both factions! A world-wide announcement played.

The players immediately exploded in cheers. ThornyRose and the others also received a boost to
their prestige and heard the announcement.
Too awesome! The first world-wide announcement was actually at our Really New Village!!

Cheers for Really New Village!!

Really New Villages Diplomat Hero, this title is too cool!

Actually isnt he just like Ash.

Eh, then Im Brock, take me away.

Im the beautiful misty! Bring me with you!

How are we supposed to play now, we cant kill fishmen anymore! Thats a big portion of the
high level monsters. F**, bunch of s**ts!

Are you a f***king idiot? This means we can now get prestige with the fishmen. Once we learn
a bit of their language, we can go over and receive more quests!!

Thats right brothers! Our next goal! The Blue Scaled Fishmen tribe!!

TN: Pokemon reference lol. I dont know why hes like Ash :x Maybe Im missing something?
Chapter 61: Vice-Director
Regarding the world-wide announcement, everyone reacted differently. For example: the
Beauties at the Crossfires leader BornFlirty roared furiously: That b***h actually got the first
world-wide announcement! Aah! Investigate that PaleSnow!

Somewhere, a member of the Flame Dragon Union, an exceptionally imposing man, faintly
raised his brows. He then said arrogantly: Good That girl Whatever, Ill crush them later
anyways. Trash

CloudDragon faintly smiled. However, there were only two people in China that could truly be
his opponent. One was that arrogant warlord, that guy who thinks the world revolves around him,
FlameEmperor. The other was the NalanPureSoul. The rest werent much. Although ThornyRose
was not bad, but she wasnt worth his attention.

The scene returned to Ye Cang.

The Head High Priest took out took out a golden scale and handed it to him. Take it.

Ye Cang was overjoyed. This was the Blue Scaled Fishmans gold scale. It could be exchanged
at the armory for the best equipment. He quickly put it away. Thank you Head High Priest.

You dont have to be so formal, youre our pioneer - PaleSnow. Vasiyas patted his shoulder
and smiled. He then left the city hall, and took all the fishmen to head back to their home.

Now there was only Ye Cang and Mar in the room.

This times matter, you handled it very well. Good kid, looks like my judgement was really not
wrong. From now on, youre the vice-director of the werewolf suppression plan. Of course, Im
the director. This is a personal reward for you. Mar was extremely happy.

Congratulations. Youve become the vice-director of Really New Village. Receive 1500
experience, 15 gold, 3 gold bars, one class talent point, and one random talent.

Congratulations. Youve received the class talent Azeroths Magic Proficiency (Heroic -
Beginner Level): +5 Intelligence. Intelligence is increased by 10% of all stats. Spell power and
Spell focus are increased by 30% of your intelligence.

PS: Alonso Azeroth, a dark elf who was extremely famous for his magic and his bowmanship.
He protected his allied army during the Heavenly Catastrophe. In spite of his own injuries at the
time, he forcefully cast a spell: Starfall. His body disappeared becoming countless meteorite that
rained down upon the enemy army, making an indelible contribution to the war. He had saved
mankind and all the wandering bards sang his story. The falling star, Alonso Azeroth.

Eh, this talent was currently not that useful. The only spell he had was minor healing stream.
However he saw that it had a rare type - Heroic, and it came with the story of a hero, so he
thought it must be pretty awesome. Indeed, just considering Intelligence and Magic, it was really
amazing. It was likely he now had the highest Intelligence and Spellpower in the game. As for
the talent point, he originally wanted to add it to his new Heroic talent, however it said his rank
was not high enough. Thinking it over, he added it to Knights Mashup Spirit.

Knights Mashup Spirit (Rare - Intermediate Level): +4 All attributes, and all weapon
proficiencies. You can choose any equipment (including weapons), the restrictions to equip it
will be reduced by 50%. Can only affect two item at a time. Only works on yourself.

Ye Cang happily clenched his fist. He could now be considered an expert, a talented professional
player. Well it was natural given his luck and his divine hand.

Go invite your teammates in to get their rewards. Mar reminded him. Ye Cang nodded. He
went out and called everyone in. Zhang ZhengXiong and the other 2 handed their 5 gold over to
Ye Cang, totalling 15. ThornyRose was extremely happy, they actually got a talent point! This
was something that one would never have enough of. SpyingBlade was also moved. However,
the 7 of them didnt get a class talent.

Ok, you can go now. I have to take care of the issues involving the fishman tribe. Ill get
someone to inform you if theres any news on the werewolves. Oh right, white hair, you stay
behind. My wife wants to meet you. Mar said, expelling them. Ye Cang was staying again,
ThornyRose secretly thought. It was almost the last time, just the werewolves left. She looked
towards him, it seemed he had another quest. She didnt say anything and brought everyone out.

AXiong, Lele, LilDino, you guys wait for me at the general store. Ye Cang calmly said.

Got it, bro. Zhang Zheng Xiong brought the other two and left.

Mar brough Ye Cang to a small path in the courtyard out back and asked with a smile: Youre a
half-elf?
Ye Cang hesitated, but nodded his head in the end. Mm.

Dont worry, my wife is also a half-elf. Although many humans look down on them as a lowly
race and elves think they are impure, but I dont believe any of that. Youre the best parts of
humans and elves, and possess heaven defying talent. During the Heavenly Catastrophe, the
magician with the greatest contribution was a half-elf. The Furious Red Lotus - Vivian. Although
she later led a half-elf uprising and received the combined retaliation of both humans and elves.
That final battle brought about the death of most of the half elves.

TN: Why do I get the feeling Ye Cang will lead his own half-elf uprising now.
Chapter 62: The Outcast Half-Elves
Mar ended his speech there. The two of them had arrived inside a house. Madam Mar looked at
Ye Cang and slowly walked over. She reached out her hand and sensed something. Your body
actually contains the blood of both the dark elves and the sunfury elves. Very interesting, these
two types of elves are extremely hostile towards each other.

Ye Cang nodded without saying a word. Afterall, he had no idea what these dark elves or
sunfury elves were. He remembered what Mar had said earlier and asked Madam Mar: Are half-
elves really so hated?

Its getting a bit better. In the past, after Vivians uprising failed, they would be tied to a stake
and burned to death on site. Madam Mar said sadly.

Therefore, you have to hide your identity. Dont let those high class nobles find out. Madam
Mars words made Ye Cang freeze. Theyre still not accepted? He thought of something and
sadly nodded his head.

Ok, lets not talk about these depressing things. Stay and have a meal. Mar butted in, and
patted Ye Cangs shoulder. He hinted to a chair by the table.

The three of them began to eat. Ye Cang looked at the painting on the wall. It was a painting of
the mayor and Madam Mar, and in between them was a blond haired child. Was this their child?
Is that your son?

Mm, thats my son Cross Mar. Now hes at Black Rock City serving the Holy Church as a
crusader. Mar said full of pride.

Holy Church? Ye Cang didnt understand.

You dont even know this? Well, I guess we dont even have a single church out here in the
countryside. The Holy Church is the home of mankinds most popular religion. From the masss
point of view, his holiness the supreme pontiff has a higher position than even his majesty the
emperor. Mar explained.

30 years ago, it was also the church that pardoned the half-elves, so now at least they wont be
executed the moment theyre discovered. Madam Mar said. Although her expression wasnt
good, there wasnt anything weird about it. She remembered the times when she was still young,
she would always be hiding. Death could find her at any time. She watched so many of her
people being burned at the stakes. The life of a sewer rat was much better than that of a half-elf.
That was, until she met him. At the time he was just a child helping out on the farm. Now hes
already at the age where his hairs have begun to turn gray. The Holy Church, although
hypocritical, are still our benefactors. Now there are many places where half-elves can live
safely. Although theyre still subject to intense discrimination and disgust, but at least they can
survive.
Ive recalled what that smelly kid said when he left Really New Village. He said that some day,
with his identity as a half human and half elf, he would become a great knight and come back
wearing his glorious medals. The old couples faces were full of pride and happiness.

Youre an adventurer, I know it wont be long before you leave. You should go to Black Rock
City, at least youll know someone there. Well forget it, lets settle these hateful werewolves
before talking about that. Mars words made Ye Cang excited. They had family at Black Rock
City!? Thats the place!

After eating, Ye Cang gave his thanks and then left for Ricas general store to meet up with the
other 3. He took some time to hear about how the three used their talent points. Zhang
ZhengXiong put his into Feel Your Pain. He now received 40% of his Constitution to Wisdom
and +10 Spell Focus. Lin Le upgraded his Arms Dealers Strength. His strength and the
effectiveness of consumables he used increased. Ye Cang also learned what FrozenClouds talent
was. Attack and Defend (+5 Strength, +5 Constitution, +10% Strength, +10% Constitution, +2
Weapon Proficiency)

Bro, since we have no quests to do, lets go back to the Blue Scaled Fishman Tribe and have a
look. We can collect some more scales and exchange for items to prepare for the attack on the
black werewolves. Zhang ZhengXiong proposed.

Good idea AXiong. Lets go see Chief Yoji. We can probably get another reward and receive
another 100 scales. Itll be enough to exchange for a few things. Unfortunately the village is
probably going to be full of people. After exchanging some scales, lets go somewhere else. We
can go collect some blood replenishing grass and some other materials. Ye Cang thought it over
and gave a suggestion. Zhang ZhengXiong nodded, the fishmen village would indeed be
insufferably crowded. FrozenCloud slightly raised her hand to interrupt. Youre not going to
call Sister Rose and the others?

LilDino! What nonsense are you saying! We definitely wont Ye Cang rolled his eyes at
her. If they went with just the four of them, theyd definitely get a bigger reward. Before he
could finish speaking, he saw Zhang ZhengXiong wink at him, and he could sense someone
coming in behind them. He quickly put on a smile. not tell her! Ill notify her right now!

No need, Im already here. ThornyRose said, standing at the doorway. She sneered in her
heart. That guy definitely wanted to get our share of the rewards too. That damn lowlife!

Oh, what a coincidence! I was just going to contact you. Its like were telepathically linked!
Give~Me~Five! Ye Cang quickly turned around and smiled, raising his hand. ThornyRose
grumpily played along and slapped his hand. Lets go.

Ye Cang lead everyone through the army of players, towards the chiefs place. The fishmen who
saw him all respectfully called out: Sir Pioneer.

They slowly entered the chiefs tent.

Pioneer, thanks for bringing our tribe so much prosperity. This is a gift from me for you and
your friends. Yoji got up and smiled. He let his maid hand each of them a bag bursting full of
scales. Each of them had over 100. Ye Cang got the most, at least twice as much as the others.

Afterwards, they went to visit the Head High Priest Vasiyas. Ye Cang and GreenDew met the
conditions and was able to learn a 2nd rank water spell from him.

Tidal Wave (2nd Rank - Rare - Beginner Level): Chant two lines in the fishman language (2
Seconds), and send a violent tidal wave forwards hitting everyone in a certain range. Deal 37
water damage, with chance to knockback. Cooldown: 30 seconds. Cost: 7 mana.

ThornyRose looked at the skill. It was a pretty good aoe knockback ability. It gave GreenDew
and that bastard a means to defend themselves. She looked over at their priest, Zhang
ZhengXiong, who had yet to learn a single spell, and felt speechless. Hah~ priest

Ok, the quest only goes till here. Now we just wait for the two sides to begin their attack on the
werewolves. Everyone can go do what they want. Ye Cang said indifferently.

ThornyRose raised her brows at him. He couldnt be trying to ditch them to do some good side-
quest again could he? She glanced at FrozenCloud, and the answer was exactly as he said. There
were no more quests, they were planning to just wander around. She nodded. Ok, everyone can
go do their own thing for now.

If anything comes up, contact me. Ill be leaving first. SpyingBlade said, then left the party to
go off on his own.

ThornyRose had FrozenCloud continue monitoring them before she turned to find more quests
and earn more scales.
Chapter 63: Mystery Boxes
Ye Cang directly brought his group to the armory. He looked at the things he could get with his
Legendary prestige. Every one of them required a golden scale. Most of them were above
Superior quality. His sight landed on a box.

Mystery Item Box: An unknown mysterious item inside. Friend, try your luck.

The cost was enormous, besides the golden scale, it required over 500 normal scales. Ye Cang
became extremely excited. AXiong, Lele, LilDino, hurry and give me your scales!

What for? Zhang ZhengXiong doubtfully asked. He was already about to exchange for some
superior quality legplates.

FrozenCloud also hesitated. The hundred and something scales she had was considered a lot. She
wanted to exchange for some good equipment. She quickly asked: Team Leader, did you find
something special?

Ye Cang showed everyone the mystery box that you could only exchange for with legendary
prestige. This thing requires 550 scales and a gold scale. I have a gold one, but not enough of
the others. If we pool our resources, we can probably barely get enough.

FrozenCloud pondered. If they couldnt exchange for it, then it must require a prestige higher
than worshipped. She looked at the other items that Ye Cang showed them and her heart beat
excitedly. They were all amazing items, many of which were Masterwork quality which would
be the best in the game at this point. As for the golden scale, perhaps hes the only one in the
game who had one. It was probably an extra reward he got from the mission, after all, he was the
leader and initiator. She slowly nodded and handed her scales over.

Brother LilWhite, here! Lin Le said indifferently and handed over all his scales.

Bro, once you get it, you have to let Lele open it, otherwise our rewards will go to waste.
Zhang ZhengXiong handed his over while warning him.

You guys dont trust my divine hand!? Ye Cang solemnly said.

The three of them, without any hesitation, nodded like little chicks eating seeds.

Hah~ You all make me disappointed. Fine, Lele can open it. Youll regret it though! Ye Cang
received all their scales and it was just enough. He exchanged them for the mystery box and
resisted the urge to open it. He held it in his hands that were ceaselessly shaking. Zhang
ZhengXiong couldnt take it anymore. He quickly grabbed it and threw it towards Lin Le. Then,
like a mother hen protecting her chicks, he spread his arms and protected Lin Le behind him.
Lele, hurry and open it! Bro is losing it!!
 FrozenCloud was shocked, but thinking it over, this was how it had always been. That
insane need to loot chests and corpses. She saw Ye Cang feint and break through Zhang
ZhengXiongs guard. Her heart trembled, and quickly moved to block him. She looked at Lin Le
who was still performing some sort of prayer and shouted: Hurry!

Lin Le slowly opened the box. Brother LilWhite, Brother LilXiong, LilDino, theres so much
stuff in here!!

Ye Cang woke up from his madness. A lot of stuff!? The three of them quickly surrounded the
box and looked at the things inside.

Steal Spell (Rare - Beginner Level): Activate the moment an enemy would complete a spell. If
successful, you take the spell and send it to another target of your choosing. If the new target

and your understanding of the magic. Cooldown: 5 minutes. Cost: 15 Mana. (Requirements: 30
Intelligence, 15 Wisdom. PS: The difficulty of this skill is very high, be careful.)

Minor Healing Light (Beginner Level): Chant two lines (2 seconds), and heal the target for 10
health. Affected by Intelligence, Wisdom, and Spell Power. Requires a faith based class.

Shouryuukenn (Beginner Level): Perform an uppercut against your target, dealing 175% damage

+2 Constitution

The three of them stared, flabbergasted. Wasnt this too much!? 5 skillbooks and two top quality
equipment. There was even an additional 2 gold bars, 10 gold coins, and a flawed beryl. All the
skills were useful, especially Spell Steal and Execute. If used well, they were truly OP.

FrozenCloud looked through the items. Spell Steal would take a lot of practice and training to
learn, it was a high difficulty skill. It even required a massive 30 intelligence, there was probably
no spellcasters that could learn it right now. In the future, they could give it to GreenDew, but
Sister Roses purse was going to bleed. For Execute, one needed to grasp the opportunity. In this
party, it would be optimal to give it to Lele. As for Shouryuukenn, it would be hers. The Minor
Healing Light, Shaking Dog was a paladin so it would inevitably be his. He would be able to
make some use of it, after all its a precious recovery spell. As for Rapid Thrusts, team leader
would probably take it. Finally, those two equipment she felt some longing in her heart. She
looked towards Ye Cang waiting for his decision.

Ye Cang snapped out of his thoughts. He turned away and made a Tch~ sound. He looked at
the three who were excited like children and complained: If it were me opening it, it would
definitely have been a divine artifact. Its all Leles fault!

The three of them, including Lele stared at him expressionlessly. They looked down on him
while thinking: Are you serious!?

Ye Cangs face didnt change as he coughed. Cough~ Cough~ Lets distribute the items then.

Im probably the only one here who can learn Steal Spell, so Ill be taking it. Shouryuukenn can
go to LilDino. Lele can have Execute. Minor Healing Light and the legplates, AXiong, come
take them. Rapid Thrusts, mine. This belt, LilDino, you can have it. Ok! All done! Ye Cang
finished handing out the loot extremely quickly. FrozenCloud was surprised, she didnt expect to
get such a good belt. Even more surprising was that he actually met the requirements to learn
Steal Spell!? Theres no way! He was a knight! A magic knight? It doesnt make sense! Even
spellcasters didnt have that much intelligence, not to mention a jack of all trades class!
Chapter 64: Monstrous Bird Boss
FrozenCloud put on the belt. She happened to not have equipment in that slot so it increased her
stats by quite a bit. After learning the skillbook and with her current equipment, if she were to
face her sister she would have nothing to fear. She hesitated on whether to tell Sister Rose about
the team leaders 30 intelligence. After thinking about it, he treated her quite well so she couldnt
be so ungrateful as to divulge all his secrets. She started to feel conflicted about her mission
again.

Ye Cang learned the two skills.

Due to your self-created skill - Straight Thrust, Rapid Thrust will upgrade and become a new
created skill. Please give it a name.

After some thought, he named it Multiple Straight Thrusts.

Multiple Straight Thrusts (Self Created - PaleSnow): Perform 4 extremely fast thrusts at the
target, each dealing 63% damage. Its speed, damage, and penetrative ability are all affected by
attributes. Cost: 25 energy. Cooldown: 45 seconds.

Ye Cang faced to the side, and pulled out his two-handed sword. In a split second, multiple red
lights could be seen. He then put his sword back on his back and nodded, satisfied.

Zhang ZhengXiong didnt show much surprise. In contrast, FrozenCloud couldnt stop staring.
Was that Rapid Thrusts!? No way! That skill would take at least a second to complete, and the 4
strikes needed to be continuous. This skill, all she saw was a flash. She didnt even know how
many strikes it was. It completed in literally an instant, and every strike struck the exact same
point, not deviating by even a hair. He was as accurate as a machine. Did the skill change!? She
raised her eyebrows. It must have changed somehow. Even her sister had said that this guy
wasnt simple.

Zhang ZhengXiong tried casting healing light on himself. Not bad, it can heal 18 health.

FrozenCloud frowned, how could he heal so much!? Impossible. He was a paladin that focused
on constitution, and she knew for sure his intelligence was low. Did he actually put points into
wisdom? Theres no way, no matter how she calculated, it didnt work out. Then it must be some
sort of perk.

Zhang ZhengXiong saw her confusion and smiled. Like a muscle builder, he showed off his
robust body. Theres nothing weird about it. I, your father, am a priest.

With Zhang ZhengXiong words and actions, was like a gun going off in her heart. FrozenCloud
stood there, completely stunned thinking He wasnt a paladin!? Not even a fighter or whatever
else, but a priest!? Our partys best equipped and strongest tank was a priest!? I have been letting
a priest tank for me this whole time!? Instantly, the composition of the team in her mind
collapsed. She looked at Zhang ZhengXiong, who was as oppressive as a violent bear, and now
knowing that he was a priest her mind was in chaos. Did Sister Rose know? She didnt know
that ThornyRose always felt endless regret when she saw Zhang ZhengXiong. Priest my god,
hes actually a priest

Ok, lets go explore the forest. Ye Cang patted FrozenCloud who was still stunned. He brought
the three of them to leave the village and head towards to the depths of the forest.

The four people went southeast. The whole journey, Ye Cang collected blood replenishing
grasses and many kinds of medical and food materials. The feral wolves that wandered this area
might be dangerous to other players, but to them, they were no threat at all. Occasionally, they
would meet a few bears and would have to fight seriously for a bit.

Ye Cang collected a purple vine and identified it, Leisurely Rattan, and threw it into his bag.
The art of cooking is about choosing the right ingredients. We have to try new combinations
and new ingredients to improve.

The three rolled their eyes. Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps was heard. Ye Cang signalled
the three to be alert. They rushed past the bushes, chasing after the sound. FrozenCloud saw
footprints on the ground and said: Its some sort of bird. A really big one.

The four of them proceeded more carefully. Beside a small stream was a enormous, 5 meter tall,
white bird drinking water.

Its a monstrous bird! And its so big! Lin Le shouted excitedly in a quiet voice. It was a
monster on their must kill list - the monstrous bird. The only monster that Ye Cang can make
edible!!

Zhang ZhengXiong quickly said: Bro, lets go and beat it up.

Ye Cang identified it. This one was different. It was not only bigger, its tailfeather was also
longer, and on its back was a red pattern.

Monstrous Bird Boss (Uncommon - Animal Boss): The head of the monstrous birds.

This is a boss level monster, everyone be careful. Ye Cang reminded. Just as he was about to
start explaining the plan, FrozenCloud looked over and saw some activity. She shouted: Theres
some people attack it! What do we do Team Leader?

Ye Cang and the others peaked over and saw about ten players attacking it. There were both
males and females, and all of them were above average. There were even a few players who
wouldnt lose to Thornyrose or FrozenBlood.

What else can we do? Well kill them together! They dare try to take our boss! Zhang
ZhengXiong coldly snorted.

Exactly! Lin Le expressed his support.

FrozenCloud recognized three of them: NalanBeauty, NalanMoon, and NalanMight. They were
core members of one of Chinas 4 great guilds, the Freedom Alliance, and were professional
athletes. However neither NalanPureSoul nor WindAndCloud were present. She remembered
hearing ThornyRose say that their main force was over in Maple Forest Village.

Wait till they are about done, then well take both their lives and the reward. Ill take care of the
female mage. LilDino, you help Lele go kill that feral boar over there so he can build up fury.
Later, Lele will use leap into the enemies and activate his weapons ability to knock as many
enemies over as possible, then just start killing. FrozenCloud, keep that priest busy. AXiong,
help out Lele and lighten his load a bit. Remember to watch out for skills. But were in no rush,
lets see how many people they have by the end. They dare steal our teams boss, they must be
tired of living Ye Cang sneered.

As expected of my bro, so thorough! Zhang ZhengXiong nodded.

Brother LilWhite is so awesome! Lin Le praised.

Team leader, thats not good. Those people are from the Freedom Alliance. There are even 3
professional athletes. FrozenCloud frowned.

Freedom Alliance? Whats that? Ye Cang asked doubtfully.

Theyre one of chinas 4 great guilds, whatever that means. Zhang ZhengXiong recalled seeing
them on the news.

So? Ye Cang raised his brows and again asked doubtfully.

The Freedom Alliance is exceptionally strong. Youre not afraid of having them hunt you
down? FrozenCloud said, not knowing what to do about their lack of common sense.

Whats there to be afraid of? Those evil-doers stole our boss, we must take it back! Brother
LilWhite taught me that if we ever get bullied by bad people, we must fight back! Dont be
afraid of difficulties and hardships! Do not submit to threats and violence! Take back what
should be ours! Lin Le pouted and clenched his fists as he made his righteous speech.

FrozenCloud rolled her eyes. Hearing that Lin Le had already decided that the boss was theirs,
she didnt know what to say. It wasnt their boss, they were just following it. Someone else had
started fighting it first. Moreover, they didnt just want to steal the boss, they acted like some
oppressed people preparing for an armed uprising.

Lele! Well said! You sure have grown Ye Cang reached out and pet him. Lin Les ahoge
wagged cheerfully. He shyly replied: Shucks~ I havent~

Zhang ZhengXiong heavily patted his solid chest and smiled: Not bad, men must have bravery!
LilDino, dont be afraid! Bring out your manly spirit!
Chapter 65: Murder for Money
FrozenClouds heart felt heavy and she had trouble breathing. Sh wanted to explode and roar at
them: Im not a man! What manly spirit! Ill manly spirit your face! However she held in her
rage. Lets carefully think it over.

Zhang ZhengXiong seized her shoulder and sighed. Hah~ LilDino, monstrous birds are the
only thing that become normal food after my bros cooking. We definitely cant miss this
opportunity. Its not like I dont want to let them go, but I really have no choice.

Zhang ZhengXiongs tone was one of helplessness. He really felt there was no other way.
FrozenCloud immediately froze. So thats why! She pondered over it, and thought his argument
was very reasonable, having nothing to rebute. She thought of that nightmare like color and
smell, and broke out in cold sweat. Shivering uncontrollably, she nodded and clenched her fists.
I understand! Lets kill!

I knew you would understand Zhang ZhengXiong gratefully patted her shoulder.

Ye Cang continued to observe the fight. FrozenCloud and Lin Le quickly finished off a nearby
feral boar and returned. At this time, the monstrous bird trembled and sent countless feathers
shooting outwards like wind blades. Just like that, half the people died, leaving only 5 left: a
beautiful female mage with chestnut color hair, a sweet looking priest, a well built shield fighter,
a handsome female assassin, and a hunter with a crewcut who had a ranged weapon. The
monstrous bird became weakened, like an arrow approaching the end of its flight.

Were finally at the end. The cute priest sighed in relief.

Dont be careless! Earlier, LooseCloud sensed some activity behind that bush The female
assassin said as she attacked and smoothly retreated.

Sister moon is right, better to be careful! The shield fighter controlling the Monstrous Bird
frowned.

As for the four people in the bush.

Ok, go! Kill the ones you can kill quickly first. As for that shield fighter, he probably cant
spare the effort to help. AXiong, be ready to tank the boss! Ye Cang said and everyone nodded.

Ye Cang watched the female mage and saw her magic was taking shape. He quickly tried using
Steal Spell. The timing was just right, he could feel the stolen lightning magic in his hand. It was
a lightning arrow! He quickly threw it towards the crew cut hunter, and it actually managed to
paralyse him. Go!

The female mage was alarmed when she sensed the her spell had disappeared. She wanted to
shout out a warning.
Before she could speak, an arrow pierced through the air and hit her. It actually pierced straight
through her heart and hit the paralysed hunter behind her killing him. It was a Precise Shot! Ye
Cang then quickly aimed a Double Shot at the female mages throat, killing her. Two of them
had already died.

Such nimble and precise technique. The female mage thought as she hit the ground. There was
barely any time between the two attacks, it felt like as soon as her chest was pierced, two more
arrows had struck her throat. Even though it had caught her unprepared, but that seamless chain
of attacks who was it!? Was it Thorns and Rosess ElegantFragrance? Flame Dragon Guilds
DeathBowman? Misty Rain Houses TinySmokeCloud? But none of them were in Really New
Village, who exactly was it!?

Lin Les silhouette darted by as he leapt between the female assassin and the priest. The female
assassins heart jumped when she saw the person coming from above. Although he was petite,
but in his large gauntlets was an enormous dark red axe. He was definitely not to be trifled with.
She wanted to retreat but flames burst out of the axe, knocking the two of them off their feet.

Lin Le suddenly brandished his axe, holding it up high. He faced the priest who couldnt even
resist as he chopped downwards directly splitting her in half. FrozenCloud pounced over towards
the knocked over assassin. She saw the assassin skillfully dodge her attack and even managed to
attack back with a dagger which stabbed towards her heart. Although NalanMoon was not as
good as FrozenBlood, she was still a professional player and would at least be better than herself.
Although the assassin had more experience than her, their equipment and skills were too far
apart. She activated her weapons skill, and blocked with her right tonfa.

Clang~

Counter Successful.

The skill actually forcefully stopped her inertia, and she attacked. Her left hook accurately
smashed into the opponents chin, knocking her slightly dizzy. Her right tonfa, which was
storing up power, took this chance to release her new skill, Shouryuukenn, launching her
opponent into the air. She then performed a final blow to the chin, killing her opponent in mid-
air.

Zhang ZhengXiong looked at the shield fighter who was still dealing with the boss and sighed.
The fighter probably didnt have any hope left but still slowly walked over and shouted in a deep
voice: Do you know who we are!?

Crazy! Zhang ZhengXiong heard his words and glared at him. He saw that the guy wanted to
bring the boss towards him, but he didnt retreat even one step as he roared and used Barbaric
Tackle, smashing the fighter into the boss and knocking them both to the ground.

The stunned shield fighter felt like he was hit by a tank. He looked towards the one who knocked
him over and saw a man with astonishing pressure and physique looking down on him with a
belittling smile. This bastard he thought as the warhammer approached his face, then his
vision went black as he died. In his last moments he heard: You dare steal our boss! I, your
father, care not who you are! Get lost!

Lin Le arrived in a few steps and frowned. He brandished his axe at the monstrous bird. Execute
activated! Like a guillotine, the axe chopped towards its neck, and fresh blood burst out like a
fountain.

Congratulations, youve slain the Monstrous Bird Boss. Received 750 experience.

Then chaos ensued. Ye Cang rushed out of the bush. Zhang ZhengXiong hurried to intercept
him. FrozenCloud shouted: Lele, hurry and loot!!

I want the boss! Let me loot just once! My divine hand! Let me loot!! Ye Cang was being held
by Zhang ZhengXiong, yet he still managed to slowly wiggle his way forwards. He reached out
his hand, abnormally excited.

Seeing Ye Cang who was like an evil spirit, FrozenCloud broke out in cold sweat.

Lin Le heard FrozenClouds shout, and quickly went to loot the boss. He pulled out a few objects
and yelled: Brother LilWhite, we got a skillbook, a piece of clothing, and a blade!

Ye Cang blanked out for a moment. A skillbook!? He quickly got up and grabbed everything.
The clothes were covered in feathers, and the blade was a one handed blade that looked as light
and graceful as a pinion. As for the skillbook, it was a spell - Blades of Wind.

Chapter 66: The Legend
Ye Cang thought for a bit and announced the distribution: Ill take the clothes, mine happen to
be only fine quality. The skillbook I plan to save for Nana, shell meet up with us once we go to
the next town. This weapon can be sold to ThornyRose. What does everyone think?

Zhang ZhengXiong smiled brightly. Bro, whatever you say!

Mm! Lin Le nodded. FrozenCloud saw everyone had agreed, so she didnt object, but she still
asked puzzled: Team leader, whos Nana?

Our roommate, shes a spellcaster. Youll meet her in the future. Ye Cang smiled then he sent
the skillbooks stats to Wu Na.

Leave it for me! You guys! Amazing! This thing should only drop from boss level monsters or
chests. Wu Na said, extremely happy.

I know, you should hurry and level. Ye Cang said and ended the chat. He put on the feathery
robe. He was now wearing a beautiful robe covered in bright purple feathers. Dragging on the
ground behind him were the monstrous birds long tail feathers.

FrozenCloud couldnt help sighing in admiration, the robe was not only beautiful, it was also
practical. But inside it was a boyscout in shorts, with menacing metal shoulder plates it was
beyond chaotic.

Brother LilWhite, youre clothes look so nice Lin Le said enviously.

Hah~ I naturally make clothes look good, I cant help it Ye Cang sighed and looked up at a
45 degree angle towards the sky.

The three of them rolled their eyes.

Ye Cang took apart the monstrous bird bosss body for materials, then slowly got up and said:
Lets go, theyll be back soon.

Although youre bad guys that tried to steal our boss, I still hope you do well in your next
life Lin Le performed a quick prayer, while FrozenCloud rolled her eyes at him. Then the
four of them continued exploring. As they walked, Lin Le began happily humming a song: I
picked up a chicken in the forest~ I gave it to Brother LilWhite~

Really New Villages resurrection point.

We were actually killed and robbed. Its been a long time since something like that has
happened. Beauty, what do you think of them? The female assassin NalanMoon walked out of
the resurrection point and indifferently asked.
The hunter hiding in the bush was really strong, he killed me and LooseCloud in a single stroke.
Moreover, they used some skill to steal my spell. Said the female mage, NalanBeauty.

Their shield fighter was also not to be looked down on. Besides ThornyRose, did Mad War
have such a powerful shield fighter? NalanMight who was killed by Zhang ZhengXiong walked
out with a bitter smile.

The girl that killed me, I know who she is. If Im not wrong, it was FrozenBloods little sister. I
was once her opponent during a competition. She showed a lot of potential. Unlike her sister, she
was pretty well rounded so it was a hard fight. She used both hands to attacked furiously while
also defending steadily. The perfect combination of hard and soft, but she still lost to me due to
inexperience. NalanMoon said with her arms crossed. Also, you two missed an important
point. Their equipment was much better than ours, and they used many skills.

What do we do now? Find ThornyRose? Should we tell brother PureSoul? The female priest
NalanSuzy asked.

No need, we shouldnt bother him over every little thing. Lets go and continue to level. Ill talk
to ThornyRose and threaten her a bit. NalanMoon glared at her and NalanSuzy nodded.

NalanMoon dialed ThornyRose.

ThornyRose who was making big profits at the fishman village received a call. Looking at the
ID, she thought Whats that b***h NalanMoon calling me for? She accepted the call.
NalanMoon, how rare of you to call.

Today, we were robbed by your people. One of them was FrozenBloods little sister.
NalanMoon coldly said.

ThornyRose frowned, those sons of b***hs! They actually killed and robbed! And of all people
they chose to target the Freedom Alliance! Are they insane!? She felt a headache coming as she
replied: Let me find out what happened before giving you a response.

ThornyRose called FrozenCloud who was wandering the forest, and after finding out what
happened, she sighed. Those three guys were really free of worry. Why didnt you stop them?

I heard that that bosss meat is the only thing that team leader can make edible. I couldnt
resist. FrozenCloud said, ashamed.

ThornyRoses chest felt stuffy as she ended the call and called NalanMoon back. Ive more or
less understood. The other three arent ours, FrozenCloud just happened to be leveling with
them. Also, they were the first to discover the boss, and were following it for a while.

Then Ill put them on the wanted list, it shouldnt matter to you right? NalanMoon sneered.
Up to you, but if it were me, I wouldnt do that. Their leader is Really New Villages Diplomat
Hero, and the vice-director - second in command of the entire village, as well as the Blue Scaled
Fishmens Pioneer. ThornyRose warned calmly.

Are you threatening me? NalanMoon frowned. So it turned out those bastards were the guys
who got the world-wide announcement with her. Moreover he was actually the leader, the only
one who was announced with a title.

Its not a threat, just warning you in goodwill. ThornyRose helplessly sighed. She wanted him
dead more than anyone! The fact that NalanMoon didnt have NalanPureSoul make the call was
probably because she didnt want to lose face in front of her little brother. Her little brother was
the only one in china that could compete with those superstars: FlameEmperor and
CloudDragon. The Phantom - NalanPureSoul. Thinking about him put ThornyRose in a bad
mood. He was obviously a man yet he put most women to shame. He was on the list of chinese
gaming beauties, ranking far above herself and FrozenBlood those damned fans actually let a
man onto the rankings! She blamed that Chrysanthemum Emperor 200 years ago and that Nalan
familys NalanJade for setting a precedent!

ThornyRose thought of the Chrysanthemum Emperor - FourWoods, and his unsurpassable

gaming legends. He really accomplished too much. He used his chrysanthemum bursting attack
to crush the entire golden generation. In his hometown of XinYun, he was called The Peerless
Cannon, but his real name was LinLin. He was the founder of the great city colleges and
countless other things that would go down in history. He was the director of the police
department, XungYun Citys mayor, the master of the ZhengBang school of martial arts. When
he was just 13 years old, he became chinas God of War. He fought everywhere and became the
sole player to be deified. Even more exaggerated was the rumor that afterwards, he went off to
conquer the rest of the universe, leaving behind a bunch of taboo characters. Till this day, those
characters still exist, sealed by the game developers coalition. Every so often, during the
valentines days Red Crystal Dragon Cup (Gaming Competition) and the Great Christmas War,
they would have an event where they take these characters and have them compete. Leaving
aside the rumors, there were still many mysteries. Did his disappearance have anything to do
with the disappearance of the golden generation? Where exactly did he go? Theres no way he
actually went off to conquer the universe like the rumors said. It was strange that the golden
generation disappeared at the same time as him. Even the nutcases spreading the rumors didnt
know how to explain it. After their disappearance, the gaming world entered a 10 year long great
depression. She shook her head to stop these random thoughts. All in all, the Chrysanthemum
Emperor was a legend.

NalanMoon didnt hear any threats or sarcasm in ThornyRoses voice. She even sighed and
looked deflated. It made sense, if those guys were her guild members, the one and only diplomat
hero would have been her. However did she really not recruit them? It wasnt that ThornyRose
hadnt thought of doing that, but it was really too hard. When she thought of that dirty face, she
would automatically grit her teeth and want to rip him apart.
Chapter 67: Adventurers Tavern
I cant just let it pass like that NalanMoon said adamantly. This concerned the Freedom
Alliances reputation. Although their main force wasnt at Really New Village, they still couldnt
allow anyone to provoke them. They wouldnt even let Mad War mess with them much less
some lesser guild!

Then what do you want? ThornyRose knew that they wouldnt be easy to deal with. If they
really decided to become enemies, Thorns and Roses wouldnt be enough to handle it. The 4
great guilds title wasnt just for bragging.

Give me a few spots on your quest. NalanMoon directly named her demand.

That isnt something I can decide, Im not the leader. ThornyRose frowned. So it really turned
out like this. This woman was like an eagle hunting a rabbit, she was probably aiming for this
from the moment she noticed FrozenCloud. That damn b***h.

Arrange a meeting for us. NalanMoon calmly said, full of confidence.

ThornyRose hesitate but something like that was still ok. Alright.

ThornyRose thought it over and decided to tell him now.

At this time, Ye Cangs group of four was by a lake, healing and resting. Smelling the fragrance
coming out of the pot, FrozenCloud gathered her courage. Originally she was unsure if it was
worth it to kill the freedom alliance, but she got her answer. She tasted a bite, and it was not bad!
In fact it was pretty good! Human food! It was real food! She felt like she had just returned from
hell and was so moved that she felt like crying. She also felt a profound sorrow. Had she already
fallen so far that just eating normal food could make her cry in gratitude? She raised her head
and looked at the sky, her heart in chaos. She thought Sister Rose, when can I go back. and
sighed. She looked at Leles silly and naive smile, Shaking Bear patted himself firmly on the
back with a clear smile, and team leaders indifferent and indescribably smile. They ate like they
were afraid there wouldnt be enough. She started to feel like it wasnt so bad being with them.
She suddenly snapped out of it and thought: I must be almost mad

Dont tell that crazy old lady about the meat. There already isnt enough for us, if we have to
share with them too, well run out in a flash! Ye Cang warned.

Lin Le and Zhang ZhengXiong nodded furiously. FrozenCloud was at a loss and nodded a bit
later.

F**k, speak of the crazy old lady and she comes. Ye Cang saw the call and sighed. He
answered it. Damn lowlife, theres an important matter!!

Ye Cang helplessly said: Crazy old lady, what now?

Damn lowlife! Who are you calling Crazy old lady!? ThornyRose immediately roared.

The one calling me damn lowlife is the crazy old lady Ye Cang indifferently said.
ThornyRose took a deep breath, calming her mood, and told them the situation. Afterall, theyre
one of Chinas strongest guild. If you can reconcile, you should. In other words, just come to
Really New Villages adventurers tavern!

Ye Cang frowned, Freedom Alliance? Those bastards actually went and complained to the crazy
old lady? Are they kids? How did they know it was us? Ending the call, he told everyone what
happened.

Bro, lets just go over and kill them again. Thats our home-turf anyways! Zhang ZhengXiong
suggested.

I hate tattletails, and it was them who tried to steal our boss. Lin Le crossed his arms and
pouted, unwilling.

Sister Roses words are not without reason. Since you have no other grievances, then why not
reconcile. FrozenCloud quickly said. After being with them for so long, she knew that those
three were being serious. Then she looked a Lele, the way he said it made it sound like they were
classmates bullying each other and tattling to the teacher.

LilDino is correct, being amiable brings good fortune. After all, we joined the game to earn
money and become professional players. Lets go see what they say, but we definitely cant
appear weak. Who cares about some Freedom Alliance, were only a small team, what is there to
fear? Ye Cang discovered the FrozenClouds suggestion was pretty good.

Ok, well go check it out first. Zhang ZhengXiong nodded. Lin Le felt unwilling, but still
nodded with a pout. Got it.

FrozenCloud didnt understand. Whatever this PaleSnow said, these two would never object.
They even treated him like an elder brother, could it be they were real siblings?

The four of them packed up and noted down the lakes coordinates. Then began their return back
to Really New Village.

Really New Village - Adventurers Tavern.

It was already evening, and the tavern was exceptionally busy. Many residents and off-duty
guards were here to eat and drink. Sitting around a big table were ThornyRose, FrozenBlood,
GreenDew as well as NalanMoons party of 5.

Theyre here. FrozenBlood saw the door open and 4 people appear.

The guards quickly got up and respectfully called out: Sir Vice-Director! Sir Commanders.
The three guys acted the part. They smiled and waved to dismiss them. Seeing ThornyRose and
the other and they slowly made their way over.

NalanMoon frowned. It was real, he was actually Really New Villages second in command. She
carefully examined the new arrivals. Wearing a pretty purple robe, on his back was a longsword,
and under his robes, he was dressed like a boyscout. She wasnt sure how to describe him. He
looked delicate with his white hair, white eyebrows, white eyelashes and silver eyes. Such
strange taste. His posture was willful but it was nothing special. Beside him was the shield
fighter that NalanMight faced. He had a really imposing presence. He looked like he was alert at
all times, and his skill was definitely not ordinary. His expression seemed like he was belittling
everyone. As for the little guy with the axe, she couldnt tell much from his appearance. He was
normal, like some child that lived next door. He had large black iron gauntlets and a huge axe,
which made him look strange but powerful. Her sight then landed on FrozenCloud, but returned
to look at Ye Cang trying to size him up.

Have a seat. ThornyRose said, inviting them to sit. Ye Cang slowly sat down without a word.
Lin Le and Zhang ZhengXiong chose not to sit, instead they stood on Ye Cangs left and right.
Lin Le drew his axe and let it hit the ground, his right hand on his waist. He stood like the god of
doorways1 and he huffed like an angry little bull. Zhang ZhengXiong simple crossed his arms
standing exceptionally straight, his expression extremely cold. He looked like some hired thug.

Ye Cang lazily put his feet up on the table and leaned back on his chair. He patted his own
shoulder. FrozenCloud rolled her eyes and sighed as she slowly walked over. She reached out
and started massaging his shoulders from behind. She remembered how he had reminded her the
whole way back that they had to look imposing! They couldnt show any weakness! He even
planned it all out and assigned everyone tasks. What did they think they were? Some gangsters?

Ye Cang crossed his arms and indifferently said: Speak up, what do you want?

ThornyRose and the three girls broke out in cold sweat. They were all speechless. What were
these three bastards trying to do now?

1: God of Doors
Chapter 68: New Assistants
The things sire did today, Im afraid they arent too honorable. NalanMoon looked at his high
and mighty attitude and frowned.

ThornyRose looked a NalanMoon who had unexpectedly let their rudeness pass. Well it made
sense, they didnt know this damn lowlife was just an ordinary person.

It was you guys who stole our boss! Villains!! Lin Le said with a pout. He raised his axe
wanting to attack. The nearby NalanMight quickly got up, prepared for a fight.

Lele! Hold your temper! Ye Cang raised his hand and shouted.

Lin Le pouted even more and stepped back, resuming his door god posture. He also continued to
breathe heavily through his nose.

NalanMoon paid attention to the surroundings. When their people had almost attacked, these
guards didnt even react, yet when her own side drew their swords, the guards had all looked
over. Her expression became bad. Even the fishmen who happened to be nearby had their spears
pointed at her group, shouting: Put down your weapons!

NalanMight snorted and sat down without a word.

Its like Lele said, we saw the boss first. Moreover, this boss was really important to us. Zhang
ZhengXiong coldly said. ThornyRose and the others had a very complicated expression. What
they meant by important was that it was the only meat their leader could cook without ruining it.

Its just as AXiong said. LilDino, pound on my back. Ye Cang indifferently nodded, then
turned back and instructed her.

FrozenCloud took a deep breath and resisted the urge to beat him up. She began gently
massaging his back with her fists like a servant girl.

FrozenBlood had an odd expression as she watched FrozenCloud. That silly girl, her acting was
really too good. If she didnt know that she was a spy, she would have really believed that she
was a dumb little servant girl.

NalanMoon looked really confused. Why LilDino? She chose not to think about it. Even if it
was true, you still

If it was you, would you come out and argue? Ye Cang calmly said, interrupting her.

NalanMoon looked in his silver pupils and saw it was cold and indifferent. She couldnt guess
what he was thinking. He had already reached the highest level possible with Really New Village
and the fishmen. They wanted to rely on him as their main force wasnt here and they didnt
want to fall behind. They couldnt disappoint PureSoul again. She coldly said: What do you
mean?

Ye Cang faintly smiled. These few people were all not bad, the next quest would not be easy, a
few more experts would be useful. The whole way back, LilDino was telling them that the
Freedom Alliance was very influential, if they could make friends with a powerful guild, then
why not. Afterall, having an enemy doesnt make them any money. He calmly smiled: We also
dont intend to preach, well give you the weapon the boss dropped and you can come with us
when we go fight the werewolves. What do you think?

NalanMoon took a glance, examining the feather like blade, and then stared at Ye Cang. It was
weird, why was he returning the weapon and inviting them on such an important quest? She
wanted to see through his true intentions. After thinking a bit without any luck, she looked
towards ThornyRose to gauge her reaction. She saw ThornyRose and FrozenBlood looking at the
ceiling giving it praise. Was this a diversion? But thinking it over, she wouldnt lose anything
from accepting. Since it benefitted both sides, why refuse? She slowly nodded and reached out
her delicate hand. Ok, then lets all write off any bad feelings, and have a pleasant co-
operation.

Ye Cang calmly smiled, he slightly raised an arm, hinting to FrozenCloud. LilDino

FrozenCloud wanted to stab herself, she doubled her resolve and quickly went up to him, helping
him up. Only then did he reach out to shake NalanMoons hand and exchange contacts. To a
pleasant co-operation.

Set out Ye Cang turned and flared his feathery robe. With FrozenClouds support, he
walked towards the door. He acted arrogant as he walked out of the tavern, dragging his long
feathers behind him.

Lin Les nostrils flared as he raised his axe. Zhang ZhengXiong showed off his muscle. Then
they followed Ye Cang out of the tavern, leaving behind a table of bewildered people.

NalanMoons party was speechless. Just where did those three guys come from? Someone
looked over at FrozenBlood and softly inquired: Was that servant girl really your sister?

You must be mistaken. FrozenBlood covered her face and quickly shook her head.

ThornyRose facepalmed and really wanted to headbutt the nearby pillar. How did she become so
close to that strange person. She even let him steal her first kiss and touch all over. She wanted to
find a hole to crawl into. Good thing no one else know about it. She put on a calm expression and
said: The matters have been resolved. We no longer have anything to do here. Lets go.

Saying that, she took FrozenBlood and GreenDew with her and left. NalanMoon inspected the
stats of the weapon they had just received and immediately became fond of it. With this, leveling
would become much easier. She thought of their interaction earlier and murmured: What an
interesting guy. Lets go too, back to leveling up.
Once ThornyRose left the tavern, she saw the party of four celebrating.

LilDino, good acting! You have potential~ Ye Cang looked at FrozenCloud extremely
happily while she was recalling what happened inside and was dying of embarrassment. He
reached out and pet her head.

FrozenCloud felt the her head being caressed gently, and her back was patted by Zhang
ZhengXiong who smiled brightly and said: Amazing! LilDino! I almost didnt recognize you.
Lele also tugged on her clothes with stars in his eye. LilDino, you acted exactly like a servant
girl!

She didnt know why but her heart felt warm. She revealed a gentle smile which came from her
heart. Youre all exaggerating Lele, you were also a very realistic door guard.

Having received praise, Lin Les ahoge began to bounce happily. Shucks. Brother LilXiongs
hired thug and Brother LilWhites boss were also awesome.

For sure. Hah~ I should have applied to the acting department Ye Cang said. Then he sighed
with pity as he looked towards the sky.

Eh? FrozenCloud suddenly snapped out of it and thought: You! It was because of you that I
had to endure that humiliating act! Are you three even college students!? Doubtfully she asked:
What department are you in?

AXiong, what department are we in? Ye Cang frowned and asked.

Bro, I thought we were in philosophy or languages or something. Zhang ZhengXiong replied

uncertain.

AXiong! How can you not even remember what department youre in!? So disappointing! Ye
Cang roared unreasonably.

FrozenClouds heart tightened and wanted to roar: You dont even remember yourself!

Ye Cang sighed. Then what about Lele?

Lin Le felt embarrassed and scratched his head as he smiled. Ive forgotten. Then he started
thinking really hard and suddenly cried out: Oh! OH! I remembered, Im learning to draw!

FrozenCloud had already given up on these three ridiculous people. Its called the art
department! Whatever, they probably didnt even know their own majors. Theyll die before they
graduate. She had heard Sister Rose tell her they were student of LinHai college, but forget it.
She didnt want to think about it, it was too hard.

Not far away, ThornyRose was observing them and murmured: I have a feeling that your sister
is going to become dumb by hanging out with those three
 FrozenBlood slowly nodded. She looked at ThornyRose with a strange expression and
thought to herself: Just like you.

TN: The people they kill keep becoming their companions wonder if this will keep happening.
Chapter 69: Li LiJias Shock
The four of them lit their torches, returned to the lake, and found a spot by the shore. Ye Cang
watched the lake under the moonlight and stretched lazily. Its almost the rest days again, lets
just log off here. Well meet back on Sunday and continue exploring.

Mm. FrozenCloud nodded then logged off.

The three of them followed suit, disappearing from the lakeside.

It was currently 12 in the afternoon, Wu Na had already gotten takeout. The four of them sat
together in a circle.

Bro, the education administrator over at the third administration building wants me to make a
visit. Zhang ZhengXiong said looking at the message on his phone.

Go ahead. While youre at it, ask them what department were in. Its been too long, Ive
forgotten. Ye Cang said with a nod.

Oh, you guys are in the department of philosophy. Its right beside mine. Wu Na said
astonished. But then again, it was these two guys who signed up for class just to pay the fees.
Besides the very first semester where she happened to see them once, shes never seen them in
class. Theyve already become one of the philosophy departments great mysteries, the two
mysterious people; there were two people who signed up for classes but no one has ever seen
them before. Oh right, your counsellor old Zhao will be retiring soon so youll have a new one.

Old Zhao was a good guy, hes never once called me out. Ye Cang sighed.

Bro, thats cause hes too old and forgot the two of us are in the class. Zhang ZhengXiong
filled in.

During the time, Lin Le was thinking hard about something and suddenly said with a pout. I
forgot what department Im in again. Its all your guys fault, listening to you guys talk made me
forget.

Wu Na covered her forehead, not knowing wether to laugh or cry.

At the third administration building, in the education administrators office on the top floor.

Hes here. Li LiJia saw Zhang ZhengXiong appear on the monitor.

Zhang ShaoFeng faintly nodded. The door was suddenly pushed open and a foul voice arrived.
What did you call me for! Im f**king busy!
Li LiJia faintly frowned even though she already knew he had no etique.

Haha~ sorry for disturbing you. Since youre in such a hurry, then Ill get straight to the point.
Its like this, I think really highly of your strength and hope you would become a member of our
five schools competition team. Zhang ShaoFeng said with a smile.

What benefits are there!? Zhang ZhengXiong didnt refuse and instead asked with a smile.

We can let you and your room-mates pass the test and participate in the 2nd round. Youd
smoothly become 2nd rank residents . The benefits that Zhang ShaoFeng gave were considered
generous. Ye Cang, Lin Le and Zhang ZhengXiong were currently 4th rank residents so they
didnt have many privileges. If they could become 2nd rank residents, things would become
much more convenient.

Sure, but my bro and Lele must also participate. Zhang ZhengXiong states his condition.

Zhang ZhengXiong, youre already lucky to be invited to participate in the competition, dont
be greedy. To a student, being in the five schools competition is an honor. To the school, its a
very important event. What can those other two do besides cause trouble? Li LiJia said coldly.

Zhang ZhengXiong had his arms crossed and stared blankly for a bit, then he started laughing
uncontrollably. He looked at her with an odd expression on his face, and provoked her: What if
I insist?

Li LiJia frowned. Although this Zhang ZhengXiong had a bit of skill, but he was too arrogant.
They should teach him a lesson and conveniently find out what level he was at. She leapt
forwards. Then lets see if you have the ability

Zhang ShaoFeng raised his brows but he didnt try to stop it.

Zhang ZhengXiong stretched his neck as he watched the jab coming at him and smiled. He
didnt dodge, nor did he block; he simply stood there as if he couldnt react.

Li LiJia felt like she had just hit granite, she hadnt even caused him to move at all. She looked
up to see Zhang ZhengXiong looking down on her with contempt. As if he was a cat hunting a
mouse, she heard him say: Could you hit a bit harder? Use some qi or this will be meaningless.

Li LiJia felt a frightening oppressive aura emit from his bear-like body, and saw the contempt in
his eyes. She couldnt help her heart from shaking in rage. This bastard!! Becoming more
serious, she launched a few knee attacks filled with Qi.

Zhang ZhengXiong laughed, welcoming the attacks. Thats more like it.

The two fought fiercely. Zhang ShaoFeng raised a brow, this Zhang ZhengXiongs reaction
speed was as fast as lightning, Li LiJia was at a disadvantage. Her attacks were causing very
little damage.
Li LiJia felt suffocated, it was like her fighting style had been seen through. However, he wasnt
predicting her moves, he was simply reacting so fast that the moment she attacked, he could take
action and catch up. She had already used up half her qi! With a shout, she sent a palm piercing
through the air and smashing onto his chest.

Zhang ZhengXiong was sent flying, smashing into an alloy wall, and falling to the ground. He
got up like nothing had happened and stretched his neck again making cracking sounds. He took
a deep breath and lowered his stance.

Roar~!!!

He suddenly release a violent roar that flooded the room. His clothes were ripped apart by his
bulging muscles. His veins throbbed and his muscles expanded, emitting steam. He became a 3
meter tall, muscular giant. A terrifying oppressive aura emitted from his muscle. Li LiJias brows
became extremely wrinkled as she frowned. He had a superpower!? Body Strengthening? She
raised he Qi and prepared for his attack.

He actually has a body strengthening type power. Zhang ShaoFeng murmured surprised and
excited. This Zhang ZhengXiong unexpectedly had a superpower. Perhaps his physique came
with the awakening of his power. Could it be Ye Cang had also awakened to a power? An
excellent esper would be welcomed anywhere. Although the colleges had many espers, but not
many of them were useful.

The two people fiercely collided; one big and one small, seeming extremely unfair. Even more
unfair was that Zhang ZhengXiong didnt become slower with his increased strength and size, in
fact he became even faster. The two confronted each other, their fists collided. Li LiJia felt like
she was hit by a truck, and was launched flying backwards. She flipped in the air and landed on
her feet, then shook her sore hand. Such terrifying power. She looked at Zhang ZhengXiongs
red eyes, this guy definitely had the strength to be arrogant. In this moment where she was
distracted, a huge silhouette charged towards her. She felt horror in her heart, how was his speed
so fast!? She used all her strength to block with her two hands, her qi flowing vigorously.

Boom~!

Li LiJia held her guard and slid back over 10 meters. Zhang ZhengXiong slowly kneeled, then
once again roared and charged over, his two hands making fists.

Stop, Ill agree to your request. Zhang ShaoFeng quickly shouted.

Zhang ZhengXiong slowly stopped, and his body slowly returned to its normal state. He looked
at Li LiJia who was staring at his bare upper body, and shrugged with a bright smile. Then its
agreed. He turned to look at the time and saw it was already 2:55 and his voice leaked out: Not
good, Sisters is going to start soon! Call us if theres anything you need, Ill be going first!
Today is the big finale.

Chapter 70: Sisters

Seeing the half naked Zhang ZhengXiong casually leave just like that, Zhang ShaoFeng faintly
squinted his eyes. Little Li, what rank do you think his power is?

At least B+. Both of Li LiJias arms were numb as she briefly evaluated, then she immediately
looked at him doubtfully. Although Zhang ZhengXiong is certainly exceptionally strong, are
you really going to use your last two recommendations?

Because its worth it. That wasnt the limit of his strength. Zhang ShaoFeng said with a smile.
His eyes flashed as he thought to himself. And I want to take a gamble.

Li LiJia could only smile bitterly, feeling defeated. That guy didnt use his full strength? Too
abnormal, they really found a monster this year, but it seemed like he would be hard to control.
This year we have Zhang ZhengXiong, Qin ShaoTian, Sun Xue and the rest, it should be
promising.

Dont think that it will be easy. However, we should be able to take the win for the martial
competition. Zhang ShaoFeng shook his head. Although LinHai wasnt weak, however the
imperial capital and XinYun were the gathering spots for Chinas elites.

YueRong Street.

Zhang ZhengXiong returned home, and the three people noticed the state of his clothes. Ye Cang
didnt ask, instead calmly smiling. Go change, its starting.

Wu Na who wanted to ask what happened, but stopped.

The four of them watched the big finale of Sisters, and they all sighed in sorrow, albeit for
different reasons. Lin Le had a tear in his eye. So touching.

Wu Na looked at the ceiling and let out a sigh of relief. That damn show was finally over.

Zhang ZhengXiong absentmindedly murmured: ASuo is such a good girl.

And finally, Ye Cang sighed heavily.

The four of them recalled the plot.

Sisters big finale, while ASuo and ADuo were having a life and death duel, they recalled their
sisterly love. The originally climactic battle, just as they were about to finish each other off, they
looked each other in the eye and realised the meaning of the word sister.

When I was young, you would always share half your candy with me. Whenever I got in
trouble, you would come defend me. Sister (ASuo)
I remember when I first went out into society, my very first pair of highheels was the one you
bought me with your saved up new years money. What happened to make us like this?
SuoSuo (ADuo)

Why is it like this ASuo murmured towards the sky, covered in cuts and bruises.

Yeah, why ADuo stood beside her and followed her gaze.

The two of them looked at eachother and smiled. In the end, ASuo and ADuo let go of their
hatred and got married to AXiang together, having a grand wedding. Under the night sky,
watching the resplendent fireworks, the drama ended.

It finished just like that. Lin Le was both moved and sad.

Yeah, its over Ye Cang said with a sob.

Goodbye, my ASuo Zhang ZhengXiong sighed.

Wu Na felt gratified as she took the remote, they could finally watch something else.

Suddenly the screen emitted a dazzling light and sparks radiated all around. In the wedding
auditorium, a group of policemen were forcing their way in. The three guys immediately paid
attention, was it an easter egg!? A trailer started playing, the narrators powerful words
resounded.

There was suddenly an arrest during their wedding!?

What! Bigamy!?

Its you! AJiao! I

AXiang, youll always be mine. I wont let those two s**ts take you Hahah~ Hahaha~ (Evil
queen laughter~)

AXiang was captured by his ex girlfriend, the wicked judge AJiao, and locked away!?

What will they do!?

We have to save our husband!

The unreasonable and beautiful sisters clash with the wicked judge!

ADuo, ASuo, help~me!! AJiao! You! You! My balls! Ah~ So good~

Next week! Peerless one time special! Sisters, two wives to the rescue! Please look forwards to
it.
Oh my god, we have to wait for the weekend. I feel like it will be really good. Zhang
ZhengXiong said with his arms crossed.

Indeed, however, the boss is actually that gentle girl that AXiang dumped in college Ye
Cang nodded.

I want to watch. I want to watch it right now! Lin Le whined, making a scene.

Wu Na felt like she almost crushed the remote.

Hah~ but its a one-time special. Whats LinHai channels next show? Ye Cang sighed.

It definitely wont be better than sisters. Zhang ZhengXiong sighed in admiration.

I feel like Ill never love again. Lin Le quickly got up and pretended to be mature.

Wu Na gave a dirty glance and look at the new show. How Chaotic is my Youth? What kind of
F**king show was that!? Was there no one left at LinHai station? The two main girls were still
the girls from sisters. The main guy 1 was the actor for AXiang, and main guy 2 was that daoist.
There were also many other familiar celebrities.

The three quickly looked through the cast.

We definitely cant miss this!! Lin Le, who was a diehard fan of ADuo and ASuo, smacked
the table.

Just hearing those names makes me want to watch. Zhang ZhengXiong nodded.

Indeed. Ye Cang nodded with his arms crossed.

Wu Na looked at the summary. The story behind ASuo, ADuo, AXiang are they brain
damaged! They cant even change their names!? and a group of college students bloody
tears. Wu Nas chest felt heavy and she had the urge to smash the tv. She covered her forehead
and said with a sigh: Lets go take a walk, we can visit old Wang and get some good food.

The four of them went to asupermarket nearby to buy some daily necessities and brought it back
to their apartment. Then they went directly to the old wangs stall at the night market.

White hair, this time Ill teach you my secret roasting technique. Old Wang shouted at Ye
Cang who was observing beside him. He seriously taught about fire and smokeless fire. He
taught about how to handle the fishy flavor of meat, what vegetables were good together, as well
as how to control the heat.

Ye Cang would make an enlightened expression every two seconds. Zhang ZhengXiong watched
and became extremely frightened. Next time they would have to eat roasted food. Roasted
mushrooms marinated in slime or mystery meat shish kabob marinated in slime he felt his
whole body go numb at the thought of it.

That evening, they tried roasting their own serving, and although the flavor wasnt great, they ate
happily and harmoniously. Ye Cang was in a bad mood as he looked at Wu Na. His heart was
full of unwillingness as he thought: How can she roast better than me!? Impossible! Im a man
who has grasped the secrets of cooking!

Wu Na sighed. If she let him roast for her, this meal would become inedible. After having their
fill, they started drinking a bear as they looked at the news on their phones. Korea and the
Island Nations will be sending exchange students over. Also, seniors Li XinYi and Zhang
WuYun have already graduated and started work. It seems the martial arts department will have
their hands full.

Zhang ZhengXiong had a look of contempt as he thought of todays matter. Right. Bro, Lele,
today at the educations administrator, they agreed to let me participate in the five schools
competition. Under my persuasion, they agreed to let us go together and also let us pass the test
to become 2nd rank citizens.

Lin Le happily jumped for joy. Really!? Lele can win an award?

Ye Cang didnt show any reaction. He turned and said in an unhappy voice: Tch~ Those
sellouts, I still wanted to blow up their command center.

Wu Na, who was originally happy and proud of them, heard Ye Cangs unhappy words and felt
short of breath. She looked at him speechlessly. Just how much of a grudge did he bear in that
black twisted heart.
Chapter 71: Artificial Experiment
TianXing city, in some research lab.

Eve-C-19325. psychological response normal. No abnormalities with the 37 pairs of

chromosomes. No rejection of Adam-01s genes! IQ estimated to be at least 390. Super power
currently unknown. Teacher! We did it! A man who looked like a researcher excitedly looked at
a culture pod. Inside was a 10 year old girl, about 1 meter and 3 centimeters tall. She had short
hair that was a little long going just past her chin. Her bare naked body floated in the liquid, fast
asleep. The little girl looked really similar to Ye Cang.

Yeah, our research is finally successful! This is the beginning of a new age! Quickly notify the
head! The old man also had a look of rapture.

The creepy part was that not far away from them, a big hole was filled with newborns. The
corpses of numerous children. They were the result of the many failures. Every child in the hole
had the exact same face as the little girl in the pod.

At this moment the old man took out a communication device and suddenly felt like he couldnt
move his body. The researcher was floating in the air. Slash~ Slash~ Slash~ He was ripped apart
piece by piece and scattered around the room. The little girl slowly opened her clear and sharp
eyes. Her face was expressionless as she murmured: Father

LinHai City, College Citys Night Market.

The originally gloomy Ye Cangs heart suddenly trembled and he got up to look into the
distance. He frowned, his brows wrinkling tightly. He slowly relaxed and murmured: Perhaps
Im being oversensitive.

Bro, whats up!? Zhang ZhengXiong noticed and asked.

Nothing Ye Cang shook his head and continued to chat with the others.

That night, in the quiet apartment, Ye Cang was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He was
recalling some old memories that he didnt want to remember. A big fire, culture pod, research
institution, a womans complaint, all those things that happened after QinXues death. Those
memories he had tried so hard to forget.

Failure! Its a another failure! We failed again! Continue! We must achieve the fusion of Adam-
01 and the alien lifes genes to create a new human! Well leave our mark on the evolution of
mankind!

Doctor! Lets stop! These children are too pitiful. This is already the 20000th failure. I cant
stand to see those children we personally bred being treated like this. Dont tell me you dont feel
anything?
Forget that motherly instinct of yours, they are just experimental materials that will advance
mankind. They should thank us for letting them come into the world and contributing to
humanity.

Hah~ I got happy for nothing, I thought we succeeded! Turns out its just another defective one!
Its intelligence is insufficient, get rid of it.

Sorry teacher, we must atone for our crimes.

You

The doctor fell unwillingly in front of the laser. The laboratory was set ablaze by the woman and
the whole research institution burned. Ye Cang remembered her holding him, her guilty yet
loving face.

Sorry child, I also have to atone for what Ive done. Farewell With a relieved smile, she
gently pushed the cradle into the river. Then she turned and walked into the fire. In the flames,
she turned her head to watch him drift gently down the river. His hair slowly turned white, and
the burns on his body rapidly healed. She absentmindedly said: Who would have thought that
teachers final creation managed to successfully mutate. Child! Dont grow up to hate! Survive,
and live well

Everything was reduced to ashes under the flames.

Ye Cang slowly got up and arrived at the balcony. His eyes were full of sorrow. The fact he
came about due to a human experiment, he couldnt tell anyone. He reached out his hand
grabbing towards the moon, and blocked its gentle light. Looking at his white hand, he quietly
asked himself: Am I a human? Really? Granny, QinXue, what am I?

The scene returned to TianXing Citys Research Institution. At this moment, the floor was
covered in flesh as if it was hell on earth. A lanky man with a short professional hairstyle
wearing a black jacket and a beautiful woman with a white jacket were looking at the scene.

Hunting Flame, destroy this place and bring all the data to the boss. The white clothed woman
said then vanished like the wind.

Ardent wind! Remember to catch it alive. The man called Hunting Flame turned and shouted
towards the wind.

On a hovering train going towards LinHai, the little girl was wearing clothes that were much too
big for her. She looked out the window and happily murmured: Father, Im coming

The noisy crowd made her frown, but she shook her head, she couldnt cause too big of a ruckus.
She continued to calmly look out the window, but what everyone didnt know was that a single
word from the little girl could suddenly end all their lives.
Ardent Wind followed the trail to the train station and sensed the surroundings. Her breath
stopped. Not good, shes already left TianXing City! It seems to be heading towards LinHai, she
quickly caught the next train.

Early morning.

The agitated Ye Cang chose to go to that familiar river to relieve his boredom.

The apartment doorbell rang. Lin Le quickly opened it and saw a little girl that looked really
similar to his brother LilWhite.

Zhang ZhengXiong peered at her and thought: She looks exactly like my bro when he was
young.

Wu Na asked doubtfully: Little sister, you are?

Is father not here? The little girl calmly said.

Father!? That scoundrel had a daughter!? Wu Nas mouth hung wide open but she quickly pulled
the child in in. You can wait here, he should be back soon.

Zhang ZhengXiong looked at the girl doubtfully but shook his head. They could discuss it when
he came back.

Ye Cang felt the resonance in his heart becoming even stronger. He unhurriedly left the riverside
and went back up to his apartment. He took a deep breath and opened the door. He saw three
people all playing with a little girl in silver clothes and his pupils rapidly shrunk. He released a
terrifying killing intent.

Dont move, otherwise I will kill them. The girl turned to look at Ye Cang with a bloodthirsty
smile. Father

Wu Na and Lin Le immediately felt something grab at their throats and they couldnt make a
sound. Zhang ZhengXiong wanted to resist but was worried about Wu Na and Lin Le, so he
didnt dare to act recklessly. The three of them looked towards him shocked. The little sister that
was just laughing and playing with them had suddenly become someone who could immediately
kill them. Just what kind of relationship did those two have!? Why did she call him father?

What do you want from me? Ye Cang said coldly, his face full of indifference.

Father, were just like close relatives arent we? The little girl slowly got up and asked him.
She thought of the things the three of them had told her, and her heart felt an unspeakable pain.
Why were they so happy? When she recalled the killing intent in his eyes the moment he opened
the door, her heart trembled. Why was it like this? They should be like family.
Let them go and I can let you go without killing you Eve. Ye Cang continued to treat her
coldly.

Why!? Why do you treat them so well! You and I are the same! Father, were both created from
lab experiments. Existences that shouldnt be accepted amongst humans. Only you and me can
accept eachother! Why do you treat me like this!? Why!? The little girl, Eve, began to madly
shout those frail words.
Chapter 72: Ye Tian
Ye Cang saw that she had become unstable, and disappeared. Eve immediately felt her
psychokinesis being cut off, and became shocked. She felt her throat contract.

Wu Na, Lin Le, and Zhang ZhengXiong suddenly felt their bodies were freed.

Zhang ZhengXiong immediately rushed in front of the other two and protected them behind him,
releasing his first genetic lock. The three meter tall, muscular giant appeared, but different from
last time, his huge ape like hands were covered in a metallic gloss. His two red eyes looked at Ye
Cang whose hand was on Eves slender throat and had pushed her onto the ground, slowly using
more and more strength. His expression was full of sorrow.

Lin Le was full of questions as he patted his chest. Wu Na and Zhang ZhengXiong knew from
their conversation. It turned out that Ye Cang and that little girl were both artifical humans.

The little girl knew she wouldnt survive. Perhaps she already knew this would happen when she
arrived. She looked at Ye Cangs pupils full of sorrow. Why did he feel so sad? Who made him
feel so sad? Her? She thought back to the day she was created, all she had was a serial code:
Eve-C-19325. She was born just to be an experimental subject. The whole journey over, she saw
those fathers and daughters looking so happy with their family. Now she looked at Ye Cangs
heartbroken expression. Yeah, that was only something humans have, and she was just an
experimental subject, not a human. She showed a sad smile, her tears slowly dripping down her
face. Kil me father.

Ye Cangs heart trembled as he saw her expression. He wanted to crush her neck but his hand
wouldnt move. He looked at his hands that had slain countless people, even she was she was
ended by these hands. He couldnt stop shivering and he also put his other hand on her neck. He
recalled the tragic appearance of all those countless children in those disposal holes, and thought
of that womans final words. Dont grow up to hate, survive and live well. He recalled how he
was picked up by the river and meticulously raised by his grandmother. Those warm and
wrinkled hands. He recalled QinXues and AXiongs bright smiles, Leles foolish appearance,
as well as Nanas consideration. Recalling these things, his confusion was swept away and tears
began falling from his eyes, dripping onto Eves face. He ground his teeth and said: Just how
many tragedies do they want to create before they realise

Eve felt the warmth of the tears, and saw Ye Cang who was grinding his teeth and crying
bitterly. She slowly reached out her hand and wiped the tears from his eyes. Father

Ye Cang looked at that little hand wiping away his tears and he slowly released his grip. He
suddenly hugged her tightly against his chest and said in a trembling voice. Were also human!
We have feelings and likes and dislikes. Were not those sorrowful existences they think we are.
Definitely not!!

Bro, so this was what you never wanted to tell me Zhang ZhengXiong murmured. Wu Na
was shocked, but at the same time, she felt sorrow as she watched at Ye Cang crying bitterly.
This was the first time shed seen him cry. She listened to his trembling words and her eyes
became watery.

Brother LilWhite Lin Les ahoge drooped as he felt dejected.

Eve, for the first time since she was born, felt warmth bubble up from her heart. Her fathers hug
was so warm. Why did her tears not stop? So strange, there was too much she didnt understand.
Suddenly a resonance occurred in her head, and Ye Cangs memories flashed through her mind.
She saw the granny who had raised him die on the hospital bed. On a rainy night in the middle of
a bloody street, he held a girl whose head was smashed apart, and cried bitterly. His hopeless
expression as he lived like an empty shell. Seeing these scenes, her tears poured out
uncontrollably like a broken faucet. She absentmindedly looked at Ye Cangs face. She was so
frail compared to her father. He had so many sorrowful experiences and bitter setbacks, yet he
still stood up and moved on, continuing to look for the meaning of his existence. Yet she merely
denied her existence. Ashamed, touched, sympathy, happiness, so many feelings flooded her
mind. Eve couldnt handle it and like a normal little girl, started bawling her eyes out, her arms
wrapped tightly around Ye Cang. Waaah~! Waah~!

Seeing this scene, the three observers all felt their hearts ache.

At this time, a strong breeze arrived at the balcony and a woman with a white jacket appeared.
Seeing the scene and especially seeing Ye Cang, she was astonished. Silver devil

The three noticed the woman who had suddenly appeared, and Zhang ZhengXiong could feel
that she was really strong. His senses were screaming at him warning him of danger. She wasnt
someone he could deal with. Even if he unsealed his second gene lock, he was afraid it wouldnt
be enough.

Eve quickly used her psychokinesis but Ye Cang smiled and softly said: Its alright.

Hearing his words, she released her power.

Eve was accidently killed by me. My debt is now repaid. Ardent Wind saw Ye Cangs
expression and faintly smiled. After speaking, she became a burst of wind and disappeared.

Ardent Wind, thanks Ye Cang looked at the breeze leaving the balcony and said gratefully.

Ye Cang held Eves cheeks, and recalled how his grandmother had named him Ye Cang. He
faintly smiled and and gently caressed her head. From now on, your name is Ye Tian. Ye from
the word leaf and Tian from the word firmament (Cang Tian).

Ye Tian. Ye from leaf and Tian from firmament Eve murmured absentmindedly. Then she
happily nodded her head. Mm!

Disregarding the earlier unpleasant experience, the three welcomed the new Little Ye Tian very
enthusiastically making the newly named Ye Tian feel embarrassed. She apologized to the three
of them with a red face. Lin Le grabbed her and declared that he was big brother Le, which made
everyone smile. Regarding the news of Ye Cang being an experimental creation, Wu Na didnt
care whatsoever. Just like Ye Cang had said, they are also people. Moreover, if you love
someone, you should love everything about them. She quickly brought Little Ye Tian with her to
shop for clothes, and they bought some summer clothing.

Meanwhile, Ye Cang called Ren Long. Ren Long was puzzled as he quickly made a fake identity
for Ye Tian, and made her a life-story in the imperial capital. She was Ye Cangs long lost sister,
and her age was set at 18. It was noted that she was separated due to a mistake caused by a
sleepy civil administration worker. Ren Long looked at the identity he had someone create and
was astonished. That guy actually has such a cute unregistered sister!? But they really are alike,
they both make people annoyed. Shes probably also someone to be reckoned with.

After being together for a few hours, Wu Na felt that she wasnt too different from a normal girl.
The difference was that she was especially curious and lacked common sense. When she was
told to change, she directly started stripping on the spot, not caring about the surroundings. Also,
she often said things that made her feel heartbroken or speechless. For example, when watching
the news, she would be able to instantly calculate next years GDP and LinHais approximate
turnover in the next 10 years. Another time, she saw a car and instantly figured out its speed,
weight, and predicted he would soon get into an accident. Then right after, there really was a car
accident.
Chapter 73: Happiness
It was currently dinner time at Old Wangs little stall.

Ye Tian, who now had a name, saw a table full of food. She frowned and said in a lovable voice:
Theres too many calories. Sister Nana, just eat this, that way you wont get fat.

Wu Na smiled rigidly and said: Its fine. Its fine even if we get fat. Hurry and eat. Today we
have Old Wangs specialty.

Ye Cang put his two hands on the table and crossed his fingers. He said seriously: Little Tian,
youre now a normal person. I have to tell you, you must control your emotions and get along
with the people around you. Also another matter, were all professional gamers, and are
depending on it to maintain our livelihood.

Little Ye Tians long lashes fluttered as she seriously analyzed. I got it. Brother Le has already
told me about it and Ive already spent a bit of time to analyze Conviction and the publicly
available data. The current most popular classes are: fighter, priest, mage, and assassin. They are
also the most common classes. After that are the hidden classes. Last is the knight. Due to it
being too well-rounded, such that there arent enough attributes to assign to the two extremes,
they end up mediocre. 75% of them have already deleted their characters. Father, the identity you
gave me was one that was old enough to enter the game. Ive more or less understood fathers,
brothers and sisters classes, I will be a paladin to assist you all. For everyones livelihood, I
will also give it my all.

The four people stared blankly. Lin Le put on brotherly appearance and said: TianTian! What
does a child like you understand! Just listen to Brother LilWhite!!

Little Ye Tian slowly nodded her head. Mm, I got it.

Zhang ZhengXiong and Wu Na sighed as they looked at Lin Le with complicated expressions.
The guy with the least qualification to teach others was showing off.

Ye Cang heard paladin and thought: Whats that? Muddle-headed, he nodded. Thats fine,
paladins are not bad. Well talk more about it once were online. For now, cheers for TianTian!

Cheers!!! Three people raised their beers and smiled. Ye Tian was embarrassed and at a loss.
What should she do? She stared blankly at her orange juice.

At times like this, you should just pretend your orange juice is alcohol and join everyone. Wu
Na said with a smile from beside her.

Ye Tian suddenly realised and hurried to raise her orange juice. The five of them drank together.
That night, in the apartment.

Little Tian, the best show in the world is called Sisters. You must keep it safe, this is our ID so
you can watch it. Its our favorite show. You must appreciate its essence. Lin Le said as he
seized Little Ye Tian and leaned in over her shoulder.

Ye Tian who was still ignorant of the world, nodded her head wanting to fit in with this warm
family.

Remember to vote for ASuo AXiong who was showering shouted with a big laugh.

You wont want to watch it Wu Na sighed.

Just do as your heart wishes Ye Cang looked at the distant scenery and murmured.

Little Ye Tian was puzzled. Should she watch or shouldnt she!? Thinking it over, she decided to
watch it. After the first episode, she was immediately captivated. Her curiosity spurred her to
continue watching. By the 2nd episode, she had become a fan of Sisters. She was a faithful
supporter of the boyfriend, AXiang.

Very late night, under the half moon.

Little Ye Tian was with Ye Cang out on the little balcony.

Dont think too much, just live happily. Ye Cang smiled and reached out to pet Little Ye
Tians head. He had emphasized the word happily.

I got it, father. Little Ye Tian innocently smiled. She greedily took in the warmth from the
gentle palm on her head.

Dont call me father, Im only older than you by one gene chain. Ye Cang said, opening a can
of beer.

Little Ye Tian looked a little sad as she nodded her head.

Ye Cang saw her sad little face and helplessly shrugged. He reached out to pet her head again
and said with a smile. Really, what do I do with you You can continue to call me what you
want, but in the game you must call me team leader or boss.

Mm! Ye Tian nodded again and again.

Do you know about the moon? Ye Cang said looking at the gentle half moon.

Mm, the moon, volume 2.199x10^10 cubic kilometers. Surface area of 3.79x10^7 square
kilometers. Average orbital revolution of 27.32 days. Periapsis of 363,300 kilometers. Apoapsis
of 405,500 kilometers. Its a satellite of earth. Why? Little indifferent smiled and said.
Eh not bad. I also think so, but I wanted to talk about the moonlight Ye Cang froze then
happily nodded his head and said.

The speed of light is about 299,792.458km/s. The moonlight is merely suns light reflecting off
its surface. It is really useful for vegetation at night. Legends say that werewolves turn into their
wolf forms on a full moon, but there is no scientific basis, and is currently classified as an
unknown phenomenon. I personally prefer the theory that increased gravity and the amount of
light, causes many creatures to create a certain hormone. For example, the Oestrus
Phenomenon Little Ye Tian interrupted him and said.

Ye Cang froze again, then took a deep breath. Cough~ Cough~ speaking of the moon, one will
think of Change. You

Change, a character from an ancient chinese myth. The daughter of Di Ku, one of the five
legendary emperors1. Hou Yi2s wife. Extraordinarily beautiful. Originally known as Henge.
Changed during the Han dynasty, in order to avoid the fourth emperor Han WenDis taboo3.
Shes also been called Chun Hu, or Yuane. Legends say that because she stole the elixir of
immortality, the Queen Mother of the West4 made her float away, and now she lives in a palace
on the moon, unable to return. There are many stories involving her, but I personally think shes
a s**t. Seeking immortality, regardless of the love her husbands genitals gave her and her
female virtues; although female virtues seem a bit inhuman now, but at the time it was different;
that s**t stole the elixir of immortality that the Queen Mother of the West gave her husband Hou
Yi. She threw away her husband, and swallowed the pill to live a long life alone. However, it
was because of this, it became easier to write more about that b***h. Little Ye Tian angrily
spouted like a dignified scholar.

Ye Cangs heart felt smothered and he sighed deeply. Ok, lets not talk about Change. How
about the Jade Hare

Legends say there were 3 immortal daoists that incarnated as 3 pitiful old men. They went to the
fox, monkey, and hare to beg for food. The fox and the monkey both took out food for the old
men, only the hare didnt have any. Afterwards, the hare said to the old men You can eat me.
and then jumped into the fire. The daoists were all moved, and sent the hare to live at the moon
palace as the jade hare. Afterwards, the jade hare accompanied Change in the moon palace and
created immortal elixirs. This is the jade hares biography. He was a really cunning guy. But
afterwards, many bards and poets portrayed that s**t Change and that cute hare as the same
person. Although Li ShangYins5 Change must regret stealing the elixir of life, blue sea and
blue sky, night after night in her heart. Actually what he wanted to say was that Change was
the Jade Hare, but I want to ask him based on what? S**ts are s**ts and bunnies are bunnies.
Little Ye Tian looked at the half-moon and again interrupted.

TN: My the mouth on this little girl

Chapter 74: A Bit of the Past
Children shouldnt say s**t, got it? Ye Cang said helplessly.

I got it, father. Little Ye Tian nodded and reflected, thinking of another adjective. Then
lowlife?

Nope, go off and sleep. Ye Cang grumpily said while lightly knocking her little head.

Oh, good night. Ye Tian turned to leave but thought of something and quietly asked: Father,
on The Three-Life Stone, do we really not have a past life?

Ye Cang froze. How did she know about The Three-Life Stone? She probably saw it during the
resonance. He recalled the scene of himself looking upon the stone that was completely blank.
He sadly said: Mm, we dont

Little Ye Tian reflected over it and didnt continue talking. She slowly nodded and returned to
her bed.

Wu Na had too many things she wanted to ask. She saw that Ye Tian had returned to bed, and
only Ye Cang was left on the balcony. She hurried and arrived beside him, but before she could
even open her mouth.

I know what you want to ask. Actually, I didnt know at first that I was an artificial human,
those were memories I recalled just a few years ago. Truth be told, when I first learned that I was
an artificial human, it was hard to accept. But in the end, I was able to accept this fact, because I
still have people to protect. Also at that time, because of me, AXiong provoked some trouble
Ye Cang said without look over. Instead, he continued to watch the night sky and took a sip from
his beer. It was also from then on that he had gained access to an immense power. He
slaughtered, made friends, received many invitations, and unceasingly chase after her heels. He
had to take good care of AXiong, because he was his sole close relative, and because it was
QinXues will. He showed an indifferent smile. In short, Im fine.

Wu Na slowly hugged him from behind, and stuck her face against his thin back. I dont care
about whos saving what. I just felt like the distance between us has become a bit smaller. Do
you still remember our first meeting?

Ye Cang slowly nodded. She was an aimless, silly girl full of youthful hotheadedness. A
reckless person.

Get lost! Wu Na said showing a dull but extremely gentle smile. That period was a really
difficult time for her. She had just received the news that her parents had died in a plane crash,
and it was too big of a blow. It felt like, in a flash, the whole world only had herself left. She
arrived at the college and everything was so unfamiliar that she couldnt lift her head. She felt
like the air was pressing her down. She quickly looked for her classroom and ended up bumping
into him. She crawled up in pain and saw a white arm reaching out to offer support. She slowly
looked up and at that time, she was a bit frightened. He had an extremely weird appearance.
Then that bastard gave her the wrong directions, causing her to be late on her first day and be
made of an example of. She thought of how silly she was at that time, she actually called him
senior. That guy was also a freshman in the department of philosophy. She couldnt stop her
laugh from escaping.

Go sleep, its getting late. Ye Cang looked at the time on the holographic image in the
distance.

Mm. Wu Na slowly released him and returned inside. Good night

Good night Ye Cang faintly smiled. He crushed his empty can and continued to survey the
scenery. He sensed someone else coming, they were really coming one after the other. Helplessly
he said: AXiong, Im fine.

Bro, you like taking things on by yourself too much. Zhang ZhengXiong said, wrapper arm
around Ye Cangs shoulder.

Kid, you have to mature a bit, find a reliable wife, and that will be considered relieving my
worries. Smelly kid Ye Cang smacked the back of Zhang ZhengXiong head and said
grumpily.

Eh, dont nag me. Bro, what about you? Zhang ZhengXiong said awkwardly.

Me? Ye Cang sadly shook his head.

Zhang ZhengXiong thought: Youre still minding that? Sisters death was her own doing. He
wanted to ask further, but after thinking it over, he thought: Bro, youre too kind. You never
think for yourself, always for those beside you. He thought of the time QinXue died. In the
pouring rain, Ye Cang held her crying bitterly and his own tears wouldnt stop flowing. Ye Cang
didnt bury her. He didnt know what he was doing during that time, but there was a day, Ye
Cang came back carrying his sisters body and covered in blood, looking like a lost soul. He
looked at Zhang ZhengXiong and wouldnt stop saying: AXiong, sorry, sorry. I thought I could
bring her back, I didnt think it would be a trap. Although Zhang ZhengXiong didnt know what
happened, Ye Cang was his only close relative left. On the second day, they buried her together.
Ye Cang locked himself in his room, and disappeared again for a period of time. When he came
back, he seemed a bit more relieved. He had a gentle smile as he looked at Zhang ZhengXiong:
AXiong, shes already passed on. Now she should be at someones house as a newborn.

Zhang ZhengXiong returned from his thoughts. He didnt need to know what happened to his
sister. Because her death, Ye Cang still blamed himself for it. He blamed himself for not
discovering earlier and not being able to cure her with his body. He also hated her for not telling
him about anything before choosing to commit suicide. He hated her even more for leaving them
just like that, without a word. This was something Zhang ZhengXiong also regretted. Why not
tell them? Instead she selfishly decided to not burden them and chose to end her own life. It was
all cause of that that Ye Cang had to go through so many terrible experiences after awakening.
Now he had finally become tranquil. They listened to Lin Les snoring. Inside the small room,
everyone lived happily together. He showed a bright smile. Right, it was already over. Lets
sleep

Ye Cang slowly nodded. He threw the empty can into the trash. Tomorrow, Ill make roast
chicken wings marinated in slime. It should taste pretty good.

Eh Zhang ZhengXiong got goosebumps and his expression became bitter. Bro

Ye Cang fixed up Lin Les blanket, and petted Ye Tians head, then returned to his bed.
Sleep

Hah~ Zhang ZhengXiong sighed deeply.

The next day, early in the morning.

The five of them sat together in a circle eating breakfast.

Father, I gathered some information in the virtual world last night. Ill quickly catch up to
everyone. Little Ye Tian said seriously while drinking her soymilk.

Youre just going to let her call you father? Wu Na looked at Ye Cang astonished.

Up to her, she seems to like it. Ye Cang shrugged and bit into a steamed dumpling.

Little Tian! Youre too impolite, you didnt greet me this morning! Lin Le said with a pout.

Oh, Lele, good morning. Little Ye Tian nodded and said politely. Lin Le pouted even harder
and knocked her head. Call me Brother Le!

Oh, Brother Le Little Ye Tian said feeling wronged.

Good, later, Brother Le will teach you to play Ludo Lin Le crossed his arms and acted like
her elder.

Zhang ZhengXiong and the others were speechless. Lele that guy they sighed. Just let
them play.
Chapter 75: Fishing Master Pastor
After eating lunch, it just happened to be a little past 12. The 5 of them connected to Conviction.

Ye Cangs group of 3 saw FrozenCloud staring dazed at the lake. In particular, she was staring at
her own reflection in the water.

Ye Cang sighed, slowly walked over and patted her shoulder. LilDino, dont be envious. Just a
bit more money and well bring you to Korea. Soon youll really become this beautiful.

Ye Cang took out her picture, looked at the wriggling, winding, covered in every kind of hair
clips that were bent out of shape and hesitated. Then he put it away, then added: Roughly
however, it will be better than now.

Zhang ZhengXiong also heavily patted her back. Dont lose heart.

Fight~ Lin Le made a fist and cheered her on.

I FrozenCloud who was merely bored and was appreciating the scenery felt a burst of anger,
then sighed.

I understand, no words can describe it Ye Cang said hearteningly and pet her head, but they
were words from his heart.

FrozenCloud could only put on a stiff smile and slowly nod.

Father, Ive been assigned to Really New Village. What Ye Tian didnt say was, she had
calculated the variance in the random numbers, and picked a time where the chances of her being
assigned to Really New Village was the highest, but her luck was also not bad.

Ye Cang looked at Little Ye Tians ID: NightSky, not bad. Much better than something like
ThornyRose. Thinking of ThornyRose, he sent her a message: Where are you?

Im still in town, why?

I temporarily cant return to town, bring my little sister to level up. Ye Cang said seriously.

What do you think I am!? A nanny!? ThornyRose immediately roared. What made her more
astonished was that this damn lowlife actually had a little sister!?

So what do you say!? Were telepathically bonded teammates. Ye Cang said as if it was a
matter of course.

ThornyRose sighed. Thinking it over, it wasnt much trouble to bring someone with her. She
clenched her teeth and said: Then you owe me, whats her ID?
NightSky Ye Cang smiled and immediately had Little Ye Tian go find ThornyRose, then
ended the call.

ThornyRose brought FrozenBlood and GreenDew to the farmside and looked at the little girl in
front of her. They didnt have to confirm that it was his little sister, they had the same maddening
indifferent expression and that hateful appearance. This must be similar to what happened with
the chrysanthemum emperor, the case of the legendary sleepy civil affairs worker, because that
bastard didnt seem to have any background. However it was hard to say, some people liked to
make themselves look like children. Perhaps this was an 18 year old who liked to look young.

NightSky? ThornyRose raised her brows and inquired.

Little Ye Tian slowly nodded. She indifferently said: You must be Big Sister Rose?

ThornyRose couldnt help smiling. Even her tone of voice was so similar. She nodded. Lets
walk while we talk.

Ye Cangs group of four followed the lakeside and searched. Besides some wild animals that
came to the lake to drink, they didnt find any elites. However, they managed to gather many
herbs.

Brother LilWhite, theres a cabin over there! Lin Le looked at the distant lakeside cabin and
jumped joyfully.

Maybe its a hidden quest! Lets go look!! Ye Cang signalled everyone to pick up the pace.
FrozenCloud frowned, usually at these cabins in the middle of nowhere, there were gathering
type quests. Otherwise, it could be a special NPC.

Ye Cang saw that outside the cabin was a simple wooden dock. A brown haired middle aged
man was sitting by the lake, fishing with a leisurely expression.

The few people jogged over. The man saw them, slowly got up, and asked doubtfully. You guys
are?

Uncle, seeing your worried face, surely there must be some matter? Zhang ZhengXiong
quickly used one of the classics out of the 100 Quest Accepting Sentences.

Ye Cang and FrozenCloud were speechless. Just where did he look worried!? Ye Cang was
planning on using another one of the classic sentences.

Young man, its just as you say. Actually, Im not a resident of Really New Village. You can
call me Pastor. Im a fishing enthusiast who is traveling the continent. Rumors are that in
Maserazzi lake, theres a rare fish called the luminous fish, so thats why I came. However, this
lake is filled with aggressive creatures. Although Im not afraid, but I dont want to waste time
on them. Can you protect me from those guys while I fish and prevent them from distracting
me? Pastor said.

Eh, it really deserves to be a godly quest receiving sentence. FrozenCloud felt astonished.

Would you and your party like to accept the quest (rare) Fishing Master Pastor - Relieve His
Annoyance.

A travelling fishing master!? FrozenCloud calculated, this should be a quest that randomly
appears on special terrain. The reward will definitely be special. Perhaps they could even get
some rewards far exceeding their current equipment.

Leave it to us. Ye Cang pondered over it a bit and nodded.

Good. When its nightfall, well head out. Pastor said with a smile.

At this time, nightfall was still a couple hours away.

Ye Cang looked around, and noticed the ship they would be using wait, ship!? Looking at it, it
wasnt a manual powered one. Wasnt this supposed to be primitive society? He slowly walked
over to carefully examined it and was stunned. Although he didnt understand too much, but this
was certainly a kinetic energy powered ship!

First time seeing it? This is monster core powered technology. Really New Village doesnt
possess the power to extract energy from monster cores. Moreover, they also dont possess the
technology to use it. Generally speaking, theyre too behind the times. However, the
environment is really pleasing. To the south is the neutral machine capital - Falsatch. Its a
harbor city which has the most developped monster core technology. They have monster core
powered flying ships, and many monster core engineers and mechanics. The north is ruled by the
holy church. Although it seems contradicting, they have their own special power and are the
continents strongest faction. Theres also others such as the Steel Empire, the Magic Forest,
Dragon Island, Neptune Empire, Demonic Purgatory Pastor fished while he imparted upon
everyone the knowledge he gained while travelling.

FrozenCloud was incredibly happy. This was better than any equipment reward. Right now, there
was no information about Conviction and everyone was confused. Pastor told them about the
continent outside of Really New Village, giving them an overview. Although it wasnt much, but
it would be extremely precious information. She organized the things Pastor said and sent them
to ThornyRose.

Moreover, while I still have life in me, I want to fulfill a fishermans ultimate dream! Pastor
suddenly got up. His back seemed very grand.

What!? The three guys couldnt help being awed and pay more attention.
Pastor crossed his arms, he back facing the four of them. He looked up to the sky, smiled
proudly, and said in a clear voice: To fish out a beauty from the water!

FrozenCloud was just thinking that this NPC wasnt simple. Hearing his words, her legs almost
gave out. The three guys immediately applauded him and praised: Amazing

Haha! Im joking, but its true that I want to fish up a mermaid to warm my bed. The
combination of fish + beauty, its practically every fishermans perfect woman even if it
means youll be hunted down by the Neptune Empire. Ahahaha~!! Pastor laughed loudly with
both hands on his hips.
Chapter 76: ThornyRoses Amazement
Indeed so Lin Le wholeheartedly approved, nodding and stroking his chin.

Young man, not bad. Are you interested in joining our fishing enthusiasts association? Pastor
turned and patted Lin Les shoulders with a smile, showing his appreciation.

Ok. Lin Le figured there werent any downsides.

FrozenCloud thought: This should be a profession reward.

Congratulations. Youve become a member of the Fishing Enthusiasts Association. Prestige:

Freindly. Lin Le received a system message.

This is my fishing knowledge. Since youre now a member, and one that I recommended, you
cant not know how to fish. This can be considered my gift to you for our first meeting. Pastor
smiled and handed over a notebook titled Pastor Teaches You the Basic of Fishing and fine
quality fishing equipment to Lin Le.

Uncle Pastor, thanks. Lin Le took it and learned it obtaining: fish, identify aquatic creatures,
create fishbait, common boat navigation.

Ok, Im going in to rest for a bit. Pastor waved dismissively and turned to walk into the cabin.

FrozenCloud looked at the tool in Lin Les hand. Aside from cooking, the team also got fishing
now. Although she didnt know how much use it would have in this game, but since it exists, it
must have a use. It should be about the same as fishing in the past, besides fishing for fish there
would be a chance to find some treasures. Moreover there could be some special scenarios where
fishing could get extremely rare treasures or even a boss.

Lin Le hummed a little song and summoned his handcart. He took out the meat inside to make
monstrous looking fish baits, hooked them on, swung his rod, and began to fish.

Lets go look around, we can pick up some extra materials and stuff. Lele, dont wander off.
Ye Cang looked at Lin Les happy expression and said to him with a smile.

I know Lin Le said without taking his eyes off his float.

Meanwhile, ThornyRose who was in the middle of fighting a rare elite boar, received the
whistleblower FrozenClouds news. She was extremely happy. For a guild, information about the
continent was extremely important. She looked over to look at Little Ye Tian, her expression
rather complicated. This girls potential was unmeasurable. She had perfect technique, perfect
IQ, and terrifying calculation ability. Just seeing a footprint, she could calculate the enemys
body build. She herself couldnt differentiate between all the large creatures. She had watched
Ye Tian check the soil density, then moving somewhere else, modifying her calculations, and
getting all sorts of information. She couldnt understand a thing the little girl was saying, it was
some sort of calculus. Even the FrozenCloud who was rather good at calculus couldnt even
understand half of it. She could only smile bitterly time after time. Whats with their little team,
it was full of freaks and weirdos. An omnipotent unlucky guy, a lucky dice monster, a super-star
level tank who was a playboy priest, and now a genius data analyst little girl has appeared.
However calculations in the end couldnt completely replace battle experience. Several times,
her calculations caused some mishaps. But to have a teammate who could perform these
calculations and analyses to refer to was exceptionally important.

Big Sister GreenDew, delay your spell by two seconds and shoot straight forwards. Ye Tian
calculated the boar bosss speed and direction along with the magic missiles speed, and
determined the optimal solution. She then continued to say: Big Sister FrozenBlood, be
prepared. In 3 seconds, the boss will have a big opening on its right side. I shouldnt be wrong
this time.

GreenDew already believed in Little Ye Tians ability from the last elite fight, so she didnt
respond. Her own intuition also confirmed it. With the magic missiles speed, she currently
couldnt hit the boss as it was hard to catch. It would be better to try the calculated method. After
2 seconds, towards the 3 oclock direction, the boar that was hard to hit with magic missiles was
accurately intercepted by magic missiles which solidly smashed into its waist, knocking it off
balance to the right. FrozenCloud was there to greet it just in time. The sharp tip of her dagger
danced along its lower body and then reversed and stabbed into its eye.

ThornyRose also attacked violently and the boss was finished under their co-operation. She
thought of the earlier scene, if they were just a little late, the magic missiles would have flown
right past the boss. Many people needed to accumulate experience in order to know how to hit a
moving target. This girl relied purely on calculating the magic missiles speed and the boar boss
speed to predict their meeting point and arrive at an accurate conclusion. It was like a computer
simulation. This was beyond human, no normal person could calculate it so quickly. She must be
a genius with at least 180 IQ, either that or shes suffering from a studying obsession.
ThornyRose was curious about her real age. Although they hadnt known each other for long,
however her conduct and bearing was just like a child who didnt know the world. This was
something commonly seen amongst high IQ children, who were often reclusive and lacked
common sense.

Little Ye Tian didnt pay any attention to the boss body. Instead, she looked far in the distance
without saying a word. She was happy that the distance between her and her father had decreased
by a bit. Regarding Ye Tians weird behaviour, the three women didnt understand. It seemed
like she wasnt interested in the game, yet she was very serious when doing things. As soon as
they remembered that she was one of those threes companions, it didnt seem as weird anymore.
Afterall, birds of a feather flock together.

ThornyRose took out some fine equipment that Ye Tian could wear.

Due to the two bosses and the many high level monsters, Ye Tian was already level 3. After
looking at the equipment ThornyRose had given her, she began to think about her position.
Brother Xiong was a priest, a class that provided support. Lele was an arms dealer which seemed
similar to a fighter. Her fathers class was a bit vague, but she threw him in as a ranged attacker.
Sister Nana was a spellcaster. There was also someone called LilDino who was a grappler, she
was probably the tank. Then she herself should build into a spellcasting type paladin. She added
her attribute points into Intelligence and Wisdom, and selected some equipment that had those
stats.

ThornyRose wasnt stingy. Was the girl going spellcasting or support? This girls goals were
very clear-cut. She started to become fond of her, not just because of Ye Tians monstrous
calculation ability, but more because her mentality was top quality. She wasnt arrogant nor
impatient, much better than that damn brother of hers. After letting her equip her new equipment,
she saw Ye Tian in a boyscout like outfit similar to Ye Cangs. Her slightly long short hairstyle,
her indifferent expression she couldnt stop stop smiling. They really were brother and sister.

TN: Omg, please meet up with Ye Tian and Wu Na soon I feel like Ive been waiting for it the
entire book x.x This beginner village is too long.
Chapter 77: Dream Fishing
Ye Cang and the other two cooperated to slay an elite grizzly. He then proceeded to harvest it to
get: Bear Fur, Bear Gall, Bear Meat and Bear Paw. FrozenCloud was curious just how many
different cooking ingredients, furs and other materials this party had. The team leader picked
them like he was plucking feathers from a chicken. Wherever he went would be plucked clean.

They saw the sun was about to be hidden by the mountain. The 3 of them returned to the wooden
cabin and found Lin Le had fished till he fell asleep. Ye Cang wanted to go and slap him awake,
but his attention was drawn to the fishing float which began moving.

Lin Le moved like he was sleepwalking. He reeled, he relaxed, then he pulled. A meter long,
lightblue fish flew through the air into the handcart. Then he extremely skillfully hooked another
bait onto the hook, swung his fishing rod, and continued fishing. What shocked FrozenCloud
was that he did all this while he was still asleep, because they could still hear his light snoring
sounds.

Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong thought about it and shrugged, as if there wasnt anything odd.
He could even play Ludo while he was asleep. Amongst LinHais Ludo enthusiasts there was
another saying: When the great emperor falls asleep, Its hard to tell if hes counting sheep. For
as he sleeps hell awe our hearts, Hes still peerless once a match starts.

Ye Cang slowly walked over and ruffled his hair. Lele, Wake up.

Lele peacefully woke up, stretched, and slowly wiped his drool. The sunlight is so comfortable.
I couldnt stop myself from falling asleep.

When did you fall asleep? Ye Cang sat at the side, and smiled as he looked at the lake which
was dyed gold.

I dont know. I probably fell asleep right after you left. Lin Le thought back and smiled.
FrozenCloud was astonished in so many ways, but more than that, she had a complicated feeling.
As expected of a human shaped alien, he could even fish in his sleep mode.

Zhang ZhengXiong looked through the handcart. Good, in just a while, he had managed to fish
tens of large fish. Wait where did those two boxes come from? He slowly took them out.
Lele, did you put these two boxes here?

What boxes? Are there boxes? How come I didnt know? Lin Le blinked, puzzled. His ahoge
swung left and right, but he couldnt remember.

They should be treasure chests that he got while fishing. FrozenCloud smiled bitterly as she
sighed in amazement in her heart. He didnt even know that he had fished up treasure chests.

So thats how it is. Quickly pass them to me. Ill open it. Ye Cang stroked his chin and
nodded. Then he held out his hand towards the boxes.
The three of them stared blankly for a moment. FrozenCloud pulled Lin Le up. Zhang
ZhengXiong pretending to not have heard anything and passed them over to Lin Le. Open them
quickly.

Ye Cangs hand was left hanging in midair. He was dumbfounded at having been ignored. He
blinked, then got up feeling rather awkward. Then he immediately flew into rage. Im the team
leader! Let me open it!

Leles opened them already. Sorry Bro, you can open it next time. Zhang ZhengXiong said
then thought it over. Ye Cang probably didnt have anymore luck left this year. He seriously
corrected himself: Wrong, you can open it next year.

Tch~ Youll regret it. Ye Cang said enraged and humiliated. He crossed his arms and looked
away, in a bad mood.

Team Leader, think of the big picture FrozenCloud quickly arrived to placate him.

Brother LilWhite, a weapon came out! The one on this side has a lot of gold and jewels!! Lin
Le said, jumping for joy. In his left hand was a huge blade that was almost 2 meters long and as
wide as his back. In the other hand was a chest glowing with resplendent golden light. Ye Cang
rushed over in a single step and snatched them. He checked in the chest: over 50 gold coins, 3
gold bars, 1 gold ingot, 1 flawed ruby, 1 flawed beryl, and even a 10+ centimeters monstrous
bird sculpture made of gold.

FrozenCloud was stunned, so much money!? Just the gold coins would probably make these
three the richest people in Conviction. Sister Rose only had about 30 gold coins, and most of it
was rewards from following them through the hidden quest. She thought about it and this kind of
chest filled with gold was probably rare. Perhaps in this lake, there was only that 1. At most there
would be 3.

Mm, not bad, Lele. If you have nothing to do in the future, just fish. Ye Cang was very
gratified. Its a pity though. If it was me who opened it, it would have been completely filled
with gold ingots. Moreover, there would even have been a divine artifact. Tch~ Tch~ such a
pity.

The three of them gave him a dirty look. Ye Cang took out the enormous blade. The blade was
160 centimeters, and the whole things was covered in the luster of black iron. The handle was
about 37 centimeters, the blade was 20 centimeters wide, and the back of the blade was
surprisingly 3 centimeters thick.

Mazos Lost Black-Iron Heavy Blade (Masterwork - Treasure)

Category: Heavy Blade

Requirements: 35 Strength
Damage: 17 - 20

+5 Strength

+3 Dexterity

+3 Chopping Speed

Bloodmoon Chop: Store up power and perform an incomparably violent half-moon chop at all
targets in range, dealing 200% damage. Causes bleed which deals an additional 30% of damage
dealt as bleed damage over 10 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

FrozenCloud felt a burst of fear. It actually reached 20 damage. In this game, it had been
confirmed that even a small change in weapon damage affected many different things. Its was
extremely important. Sometimes when youre attacking a monster and are having trouble
breaking through its defence, youll deal very little damage. However a weapon that had even
just 1 more weapon damage could break through its defence causing heavy injuries. They had
achieved unexpected profits. Moreover, that halfmoon attack, if Lin Le was to take the blade and
use it, an ordinary player would definitely be finished in seconds. Even if they didnt die right
away, they would have trouble surviving the bleed effect. However his current axe had a useful
AOE control ability, it would be a pity to lose it.

Lele, you equip it. Throw the axe in your cart and set the price as 4 gold. Next time we return to
town, we can see if itll sell. Ye Cang took the black-iron heavy blade and handed it over. Lin
Le nodded and swapped out his axe for the heavy blade. FrozenCloud looked at the heavy blade
that was even taller than her and felt it was out of place. The contrast was too big, it would be
perfect on Zhang ZhengXiong.

FrozenCloud raised her brows, crossed her arms, and said: If youre really going to sell it, you
should try to sell to a team member who will be participating in the black werewolves quest. It
should currently still be one of the best weapons, moreover it has a useful AOE control ability,
itll sell in an instant.

Ye Cang thought it over, and he opened his chat. ThornyRose was a defence specialized fighter,
and SpyingBlade was an assassin. He looked towards the other persons Id, NalanMoon, and
tried asking: You there?

Whats the matter? NalanMoon raised her brows. It was him? The attack shouldnt be so soon.

Were getting rid of this weapon, 4 gold if youre interested. Ye Cang directly attached the
stats and sent it over as he talked.

NalanMoon saw the weapons stats. It was excellent quality and moreover demonic!? It was
really a good weapon. The attributes were almost better than a superior quality weapon. Most
importantly, it had an AOE control ability which she had personally experienced. She recalled
how that fighter had leapt over, a fire had flashed, and she had been knocked to the ground. 4
gold? It really deserved this price, but right now funds were too important. Will you accept
Federal Dollars?

Double. Ye Cang said, looking to profit.

NalanMoon froze for a moment. Such a blunt guy. Ok, when can you deliver the goods.

Tomorrow. Ye Cang replied.

Alright. When you arrive in town tomorrow, message me. Ill have someone go get it.
NalanMoon said and ended the call. That weapon, she must get it. Her peoples equipment was
even falling behind ThornyRoses group. Besides, she didnt lack money. However, if they were
selling such a good weapon, then they must have an even better one to replace it. That little
fighter she wondered if Mad War knew?
Chapter 78: Roast Fish Feast
Very good, its been dealt with. Tomorrow well sell it to that Nalan something. Ye Cang said
then looked through the handcart. It was really useful. Different from how it looked, it could
actually carry as much as 10 peoples inventory combined. Moreover it was one of Leles tools.
He took out a few fish and identified them.

Light Blue Carp: Common in rivers and lakes.

Maserrazi Piranha: Maserrazi lakes specialty fish. The flavor has many layers.

Hogfish: A fairly rare fish. The flavor is strong, and nutritious.

He turned and looked at the remaining sunlight, and the golden lake. The sight of the golden
light reflecting off the water warmed everyones heart.

Ok, lets eat to prepare for tonights quest. Ye Cangs words were like a cold wind blowing
across their warm hearts. Their whole body shivered.

Team leader. Today is such a good day, lets celebrate by eating some monstrous bird.
FrozenCloud quickly proposed.

Mm! Mm! Lin Le repeatedly nodded his head.

Lele fished so many fish, lets eat roast fish today. You guys are quite lucky, I just happen to
have learned the art of roasting. AXiong, start the fire! Without delay! Ye Cang rolled up his
sleeves, took out 3 large fish, and started processing them.

Zhang ZhengXiong sighed and hesitated. He then sighed again and began making the fire.

Due to the fish being so big, Ye Cang held them up with sticks and slathered green slime gel on
them. He thought for a bit and decided to layer it! Thats right, he added another layer of red
slime gel on, mixing them together in the process. Inside the fishs stomach, he stuffed some
werewolf meat, some wild grasses, and some edible medical herbs. He then poured some more
slime inside, added some seasoning, and his preparations were complete.

Pastor was going to call them in when saw that the four of them were making a meal, but after
seeing the slime being applied, he immediately shut the window tightly. Red and Green Slime
gel mixed together, black werewolfs disgusting fishy meat, wolf-excrement vegetable, leisurely
ratten, blood replenishing grass, oh my god. Does he not know that slime gel is an ingredient
commonly seen in dark cooking? That wolf-excrement vegetable, not even a beggar would eat it.
Leisurely ratten, that vine, its flavor and name were completely different. If eaten by humans, it
would invigorate them, but by using stink. Are these guys tired of living? At least those couple
of fish will have their revenge.
Ye Cang watched over the roasting fish that were held up by sticks. The scene started to become
abnormally sinister, unlike the delicious scene one might expect from roasting fish. A stink
suddenly exploded out from the fish. FrozenCloud could feel an onion like stinging pain in her
eyes, and her nose felt like she had just inhaled a ball of pepper, moreover this pepper was super
smelly.

Congratulations. Youve created a new dark cooking recipe. Category: Roasted. Obtain 250
experience. Although its 3 different kinds of fish, they were cooked in the same way, so they
become a set meal. Please name it.

Light Blue Carp stuffed with Black Werewolf, Hogfish stuffed with Black Werewolf, Piranha
stuffed with Black Werewolf.

Light Blue Carp stuffed with Black Werewolf: Restore 4 health every 5 seconds while eating.
Gain +2 Intelligence, +1 Dexterity, +2 All Resist for 2 hours (Can be stacked with the other two
parts of the set meal).

set meal).

Piranha stuffed with Black Werewolf: Restore 4 health every 5 seconds while eating. Gain +1
Wisdom, +2 Constitution, +2 All Resist for 2 hours (Can be stacked with the other two parts of
the set meal).

Lin Le and Zhang ZhengXiong were completely flabbergasted. The most disgusting thing so far
has just appeared. Despite having been baptised many times, that sort of scalp tingling stink was
never any less bad.

Ah, how can this be! Could the lakes fish have been contaminated? It must be so. Well eat
up. Ye Cang said plugging his nose and covering his eyes, looking odd.

Although the smell was hard to endure, FrozenCloud still had to say that this set of three roast
fish had the best buff out of the things hed made so far. Unfortunately the smell was also the
hardest to endure.

To stack the buffs, you have to eat a bit of each. Ye Cang took a fish and put it on a large leaf.
He then took chopsticks and pointed out the stacked buff. He took a big piece of each, and put it
in his bowl. Then he began to eat ferociously. Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le rushed to keep up.
FrozenCloud wanted to cry; he tested new recipes every day, when will he finally succeeded.

After a few minutes, the four of them were passed out on the dock.

Amazing Pastor couldnt help murmur with admiration as he looked out the window and
watched the four of them eat. He imagined himself eating it, and immediately broke out in cold
sweat. Just the tiny bit of smell that came in through the window seams made him want to throw
up.

After a few more minutes, the four quivered and woke up, immediately covering their mouths.
Ye Cang weakly put away the leftovers. Good, were ready.

Brother LilWhite, lets stop being professional gamers Lin said with a bitter face.

Bro, lets look for a job near the college. Or we can go beg sister-in-law for a job as security
Zhang ZhengXiong repeatedly nodded.

Shut up! How can you say such ambitionless words. We must depend on ourselves to claim a
piece of the pie. Just look at LilDino! Although shes like that, shes still barely considered a
young lady. If even she can bear this hardship, then we can too! Dont forget, theres also
LilDinos remodelling funds. Ye Cang said righteously.

FrozenCloud felt like she had just been slapped in the face. What are you calling me!? Im
what!? What do you mean Im barely considered a young lady! F**k! Are dinosaurs inferior
people to you guys!? Some sort of alien race!? She continuously suppressed her emotions, and
sighed. She was just about to tell them: No need, no need. Dont worry about me, Im fine.

Im sorry bro, I was wrong. LilDino, its really comforting that youre here Zhang
ZhengXiong admitted his wrong. He then looked meaningfully at FrozenCloud, his gaze full of
encouragement.

Mm, well said Brother LilWhite. LilDino, youre so strong Lin Le thoughtfully nodded
and then looked towards FrozenCloud and gave her a big hug.

Ye Cang gave their shoulders a squeeze. He looked towards FrozenCloud, whose mind was a
mess, and said with a smile. Live beautifully and bravely, LilDino.

FrozenCloud suddenly realised that in their eyes, she was different from ordinary people.
She looked at their heartening expressions. It turns out they saw her as a strong and inspiring
disabled person. They actually treated her as some disabled rolemodel!? Her mind became even
more of a mess.
Chapter 79: Guarding Pastor
Once Pastor saw that the poisonous gas had dissipated, he slowly opened the door and walked
out. He saw the four people with complicated expressions on their faces, but chose not to
comment on it. Lets go. Board the ship.

Ye Cangs group of 4 followed him onto the ship and entered the control cabin. FrozenCloud
peered at the surrounding equipment. It was really a product of engineering. The monster cores
he mentioned should be some sort of renewable energy similar to the light prisms powering the
colleges. They only needed to take in some sunlight and they could turn it into electricity. It was
said that the federal government invented this technology, but the patent belonged to the
Chrysanthemum Emperor - Lin Lin. Even now, it remained unchanged. Just depending on that
patent, his later generations became some of the richest people in the world. However, after he
disappeared, most of his things disappeared with him. The few things he left behind all
contributed to the peoples current convenient lifestyle. It could be said he was the 23rd
centurys greatest innovator, inventor, politician, thinker, martial artist, and virtual reality gamer.
She shook her head, better to stop thinking about it. Just thinking of the Chrysanthemum
Emperor made her rear feel chilly1.

The ship slowly sailed. Lin Le was learning how to operate a boat under Pastors instructions.
The others also learned some knowledge about ships.

The luminous fish are nocturnal. Their bodies are also small. They are very cowardly, and very
fast. Not many people have seen them up close. Ive already determined their habitat, its in the
southwest direction, in the lakes deepest area. Its also a place filled with aquatic life. Ill be
using a fluorescent shrimp as bait. Its one of the few foods that can make a luminous fish bold
enough to go after it. Although the luminous shrimp isnt something other fish like to eat, it will
still alarm them, causing them to attack me and the ship. Therefore, you have to push them back,
so that they dont distract me. Got it? Pastor faced the southwest and explained as he sailed.

Understood. Ye Cang said with a nod, then took out his bow. He looked at the three others:
Ill be in charge of detection and ranged support. LilDino, you stay near uncle Pastor. Lele and
AXiong, you two are in charge of intercepting the attacks. Clear them up as fast as possible.

The three people nodded. Got it.

FrozenCloud also understood, the moment the bait was cast, the mission would start. Zhang
ZhengXiong and Lin Le both took a side.

Under the moonlight which created a halfmoon reflection on the lake, the boat stopped and
dropped anchor. Pastor looked back at them. Everyone ready?

Lin Le pulled out his large blade and rested it on his shoulder. Zhang ZhengXiong also took out
his shield and hammer, and stood at the left side of the boat. FrozenCloud stood beside pastor.
As for Ye Cang, he took out an arrow and readied his bow. His eyes flashed with a faint light as
he took note of the surroundings. Start.

Pastor faintly smiled then he took out a sparkling and translucent shrimp faintly glowing with
fluorescent light. He processed it a bit then put it on his silver hook. At this time, everyone
noticed that the structure of his fishing rod was rather complicated. The material seemed to be
neither wood nor metal. With a swish, the fluorescent shrimp fell into the water.

A few minutes passed. Ye Cang sensed some movement under the lakes surface and saw a
shadow. Over there!

Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le quickly jogged over. FrozenCloud took a defensive stance, ready
to strike.

Many 2 meter large piranhas opened their jaws, revealing sharp teeth, and started jumping out of
the water. Ye Cang raised his bow and an arrow shot forth, knocking one back. FrozenCloud sent
an elbow strike behind her hitting a piranha that had tried to jump at Pastor. Lin Le brandished
his large blade, looked at the piranhas that were jumping towards him, and smashed two of them
back. Zhang ZhengXiong was stunned, such strength!? FrozenCloud also felt a burst of fright. It
turned out that 20 damage was so oppressive against these normal mobs!?

Another 10 jumped out from the water. While frozen cloud defended, she saw that there were
quite a few over by Ye Cang. 5 fish, could he deal with them? A red light flashed and dispersed
into four lights which struck simultaneously. Finally, one last red light flashed. The moment he
drew his sword, 5 large piranhas were immediately knocked back into the water. Although they
hadnt died, they wouldnt be making any big splashes anytime soon.

Such accurate technique. Such a fast sword. His chain of thrusts were practically instantaneous
yet it accurately took out 4 different targets. That last flash was his original skill. A series of 5
sword strikes, in just a split second. She had to admit that although their team captains morality
was questionable, but those 5 sword strikes, unless she was really lucky and used a skill in time,
she wouldnt be able to dodge a single one.

Zhang ZhengXiong saw the few fish coming towards him. He slammed his shield blocking two
of them, and swung his hammer knocking away one more. He looked at the last one that was
biting his chest, and reached out to fling it back into the water. He then cast a healing light on
himself. There was no pressure at all, it was like he was impregnable.

As for Lin Les side, there was even less pressure. His heavy weapon was too oppressive. One
swing would kill several of fish.

Lele, save your rage and skills. There will probably be a boss. Ye Cang said as he sheathed his
two handed sword back on his back, and took out his bow to continue his ranged attacks. He saw
that there were more and more fish, they were so densely packed in the water they looked like a
single shadow, and all coming in his direction. Some water blossomed in his hand as he chanted:
Mmmm mrrrggk Mrgllll glrrm gl!.
Dozens of fish jumped out of the water towards him. FrozenCloud hurriedly vaulted over the
head of Pastor, who looked like he was meditating, and rushed over to provide assistance. Ye
Cang indifferently smiled and pushed out with his hand. Tidal Wave! A huge tidal wave rolled
out, heavily smashing into the dozens of fish and knocking them back into the lake.

FrozenCloud suddenly remembered. She had forgotten that he was a knight that had aoe magic.
This water knockback spell was further enhanced by the terrain, moreover his intelligence was
especially high - at least 30. His spell power was also higher than most mages at this stage of the
game, this she inferred from the amount of healing his healing stream provided. She quickly
returned to continue guarding.

After this big wave of piranhas was repelled by Ye Cang, their numbers became much fewer.
There were still the odd few who jumped out but were easily taken care of. Moreover, Zhang
ZhengXiong and Ye Cang barely had to use their healing abilities.

Ye Cang eyes flashed over to a distant black shadow and estimated that it was at least 5 meters
long. He immediately roared: Everyone come! The boss is here! LilDino, you make sure the
little fish dont get to Uncle Pastor! Provide assistance when you see fit!

Ye Cang finished speaking and drew his bow with all his strength, pulling the bowstring taut,
and prepared to use precise shot. Zhang ZhengXiong arrived in a few steps and stood at the side
of the boat ready to intercept. He held his warhammer tightly, prepared to use his skills. They
definitely couldnt let it crash into the boat.

FrozenCloud nodded. In their group, it was only Ye Cang that could see far, all she could see
was darkness. She had to take care of the small fish as quickly as possible in order to lend them a
hand. She relaxed her body, took a deep breath, and hopped in place like a boxer, ready to act at
any time.

Lin Le thought that it should be soon. He lowered his stance. Using his full rage he activated
berserk causing his two eyes to emit a faint red light and he began to pant roughly. He looked
like an angry little bull. His two hands gripped his black-iron large blade tightly and he stared in
the direction Ye Cang was aiming.

1: Chrysanthemum is slang for ass as a commenter had noted in a previous chapter.

Chapter 80: Overlord of Water
The big battle could happen at any moment.

Pastor was like a meditating master as he watched the float without being distracted at all. Not
even a tornado blowing nor lightning striking beside him could sway his concentration. He
simply continued to stare unwaveringly at the lake illuminated by the moonlight, not a single
ripple in his heart.

A massive piranha leapt out of the water in the distance. Then the whistling of Ye Cangs arrow
as it pierced through the air broke the silence. It stabbed into the piranha bosses head.
Immediately following that, a Tidal Wave spell launched from his hand. While he was aiming,
he had already begun silently chanting the spell, then the moment he had finished, his hand
pushed out causing the water to churn. Due to the terrain further empowering the spell, the lake
rose and became a wall, smashing into the piranha.

Bang~

The wave was scattered during its collision with the massive piranha, and exploded into a shower
of water. It had passed the wave, however its speed had declined greatly.

Squatting by the edge of the boat, Zhang ZhengXiong smiled fiercely. Suddenly, he pushed off
the side, holding his shield up and performing a Barbaric Tackle. One man and one fish clashed
in the air above the lake. The clash between the shield and the fishs hard head created a heavy
booming sound. The two of them stopped mid-air, and the piranha boss was stunned. They both
slowly started falling. Zhang ZhengXiong felt a burst of numbness in his shield arm from the
collision. It had its speed reduced by so much, yet still attacked with so much force. As they
were falling into the water, he didnt forget to give the fish a good smack with his hammer.

Lin Le activated leap, jumping up high. As he fell towards the boss floating on the water, he
executed his weapons halfmoon attack. With the damage enhancement from berserk and leap,
the black blade traced out a pitch-black half-moon, leaving a long scar on the fishs back and
causing a huge amount of damage. Then taking advantage of the time he had left, he chopped
down ferociously.

During this time, Zhang ZhengXiong quickly chanted a healing light on himself to restore a bit
of health. Seeing Lin Le heavily damaging the boss, he went over and activated his hammers
ability. A heavy and ferocious strike exploded on its head, a slight cracking sound could be
heard.

Lele, Execute! Ye Cang shouted.

Lin Le quickly jumped up on fishs back, and reproduced the black half-moon slash while
activating Execute!
FrozenCloud, who was taking care of the small fish, couldnt help but sigh at Lin Les simple yet
violent and effective attacks.

Congratulations. Youve slain the Piranha Boss. Received 800 experience.

The system message arrived. FrozenCloud who was busy defending Pastor sighed in relief. Out
of the corner of his eyes, Ye Cang noticed the shadow of another fish under the water. It didnt
lose out to the Piranha Boss at all, and might be even bigger. LilDino! Over by you! A boss!

Hogfish Boss: The leader of a shoal of hogfish. Has ample strength.

The enormous shadow splashed out of the water. FrozenBlood looked up at the figure that
blocked out the moon, and her heart sank.

She suddenly crouched down and prepared to use Shouryuukenn. It was her only crowd control
skill, perhaps she could protect the boat if she used it. It was the only thing she could do under
these circumstances.

Ye Cang tightly furrowed is brows and frowned. There wasnt time to cast a tidal wave, but he
still started chanting. A little shadow flew over. Right! Zhang ZhengXiong recalled that Lin Le
still had another big crowd control skill. He watched Lin Le summon his handcart, grab it with
both hands, and jumped up towards the boss.

Leles here! Ye Cang felt relieved.

FrozenCloud saw Lin Le leaping over with his handcart, and sighed in amazement. That leap
skill was too useful. It could leap not only far, but fast. Its cooldown was also no long. It even
had a damage bonus. She decided to act after seeing what hes up to.

Lin Le shouted out loudly, and used his handcart as a weapon. Handcart Home Run! It was
strength vs strength!

Kaboom~!

The attacking hogfish boss stopped in midair, then was blown back a couple meters. Although it
was only a couple meters, it was enough to save the ship. The force from the collision sent Lin
Le flying back to the ship, crashing into a railing, and falling into the water with a big splash.

Ye Cangs tidal wave exploded forth. The hogfish boss that was knocked back into the water by
Lin Le was hit by the tidal wave. Zhang ZhengXiong quickly swam over. FrozenCloud jumped
overboard and begin attacking violently.

Ye Cang took this time to rush to the back of the ship and roared towards the lakes surface:
Lele!
Lin Le took a deep breath. After that enormous impact, his body felt like it would fall apart,
especially his two arms. He looked at his remaining 13 health. Then he remembered his handcart.
He looked around and found it floating on the surface of the water. With a foolish smile, he said:
Brother LilWhite! Im fine, I wont die yet! It just hurts a little!

Ye Cang faintly smiled. He cast a healing stream on him and then threw out a rope from the ship.
Hurry and come up!

Lin Le grabbed the rope and climbed up. Ye Cang turned and looked towards the little piranha
that was flying towards Pastor. Rapidshot! He took his arrow, placed it on his bow, drew it back,
and released it, all in an instant. The arrow accurately hit the fish and knocked it into the water.
He frowned, it was becoming more and more chaotic.

Bro! This hogfish is so strong! Quickly come help! Zhang ZhengXiongs voice arrived.

Ye Cang activated his shoes speed boost, ran towards Pastor, then jumped into the water. Lele,
protect Uncle Pastor!

I got it! Lin Le received his instructions and went to guard Pastor, holding his large blade
horizontally in front of him.

Ye Cang entered the water and was as agile as a fishman. FrozenCloud, who was attacking the
boss, saw it. What a fast swim speed. Was this a special reward for being the Blue Scaled
Pioneer? To increase his agility in water so much, it could be considered an OP reward.

Ye Cang also never thought that his swimming ability would be so good. He felt extremely
happy. He drew his two-handed sword and Multiple Straight Thrusts / Straight Thrust, 5 bloody
holes appeared on the boss. Zhang ZhengXiong also smashed down with Double Strike. The
hogfish boss tried to turn and escape under the water. Not good. FrozenCloud thought. After
one last punch, the fish submerged.

Zhang ZhengXiong and FrozenCloud looked towards where the boss had submerged, feeling
helpless. They couldnt catch it, and even if they did, it would probably kill them under the water

Its escaping that way! Ye Cang shouted. Then like a fishman, with a twist of his body, he
submerged and swam with all his might in pursuit. They both disappeared into the depths of the
lake.

The originally chaotic situation became a bit more tranquil.

After a while, a system message arrived.

Congratulations. Youve slain the Hogfish Boss. Received 815 experience.

He actually did it!? FrozenCloud stared blankly. She saw traces of the corpse slowly float up to
the surface of the lake. Then she saw Ye Cang leap out of the water. He quickly reached the side
of the ship, and pulled himself up. He took out his longbow and continued to be alert. She smiled
bitterly, team leader could be called the overlord of water. There should currently be no players
that could defeat him in water. At this time, Zhang ZhengXiong was slow swimming back to the
boat while resisting the attacks of piranhas.

With all this activity, Pastor still looked as light as the wind and relaxed as the clouds, making
everyone feel relieved. He couldnt have fallen asleep, could he?

They looked at a fluorescent spot in the lake that was bobbing towards a fish. Then finally, it
mixed with the light emitting from the fish. Pastors eyebrows jumped and he roared loudly: Its
here!

Pastor who went from looking like he was asleep to roaring loudly, made the 4 of them jump in
surprise. He began to freely switch between reeling and letting the fish run, very naturally and
unrestricted. This was a very different contest. In the end, Pastor raised his fishing pole. A
sparkling, translucent, fished that shined like moonlight appeared before their eyes. Its size was
a bit over a meter.
Chapter 81: Class Equipment
What a beautiful fish Lin Le looked at the luminous fish and couldnt help murmuring.

The other three slowly nodded. Its really exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

The lake had regained its original calm becoming tranquil and gentle. The reflection of the
moon slowly drifted across its surface.

Haha~ I got it! Looks like my trip to Really New Village has come to an end. Pastor skillfully
picked up the luminous fish and turned to look at Lin Le with a smile. Ill gift it to you.

Really? Lin Le asked, feeling overwhelmed. Didnt he come to Really New Village just for
this fish? Why was he giving it them?

Im a fishing enthusiast. What I pursue is the happiness and challenge of fishing, not to collect
them. Take it. Pastor pushed the luminous fish towards Lin Le. He took out a handbook from
his chest pocket, opened it, and started taking notes on the page with a picture of a luminous fish.
Then he closed it and, again, tucked it securely into his chest pocket. Youngsters, thank you all
so much. This is your reward.

Congratulations. Youve completed the quest (Rare) Fishing Master Pastor - Relieve His
Annoyance. Received 1000 experience, a random rare quality common skill, a random class
masterwork equipment, and a skillpoint.

FrozenCloud was exulted. It was actually a skill point, this was an extremely precious reward.
The further in the game they get, the more valuable it will become. If Sister Rose knew, she
would probably be extremely jealous.

The three guys were also extremely happy. There were both skills and class equipment. As for
the skill point, they didnt even have to think to know it was valuable.

Ye Cang received the common skill - Rapid Dash, as well as a 150cm heavy longbow. It was
emerald green, and was quite heavy, but still had texture extremely similar to wood. Moreover,
the bowstring was extremely tight. He tried pulling it. Good bow!

Ye Cang felt somewhat gratified. Hes finally got a movement skill, and it was one good for both

Zhang ZhengXiong received his reward and stared at it blankly. In his hand was a Canonical
Text, and the skill he got he felt a burst of rage. Its another damn aura! Aura of Protection (+4

Zhang ZhengXiong looked at the ancient book bound in simple iron chains in his hand and
thought: This things not bad. Without delay, he equipped it like a bag, hanging it on his waist.

Lin Le looked at his own reward, Rising Slash (Perform a fierce upwards slash, has a chance of
knocking the target upwards), as well as an exquisite bag.

Required Class: Arms Dealer

Lin Le happily equipped his bag, then posed to look at it. He looked like a child that just got his
first backpack. Pastor looked at him and smiled. He reached out and petted Lin Les head like a
loving elder. I didnt think Little Le would be an arms dealer. Remember to report to the Arms
Trading Guild when you reach a big city.

FrozenCloud received Triple Strike and a class equipment. She couldnt help cheering up. It was
actually a class equipment, something that could be a core part of the class. She looked at the
refined martial art clothing she had received (can be equipped along with other armor). She
quickly changed into the cyan, simple martial arts clothing, then equipped her breastplate on top
of it. After putting on her leg protectors, her long white legs were still exposed. They looked
exceptionally healthy and pleasing to the eye. She posed her body to check out her new outfit,
and was very satisfied. She then heard Pastors words and analyzed it a bit. It was the about the
class guild for the hidden class, and it was some trade guild. There should be some clues from
the bit she overheard. She stroked her chin, pondering over it.

Mm, I got it. Lin Le heavily nodded his head.

After Lin Le looted the bosses corpses; Ye Cang, who had been held back by FrozenCloud and
Zhang ZhengXiong, resentfully jumped into the lake to collect all the fish bodies and rapidly
chopped them up, tossing them into Lin Les cart. When they returned to the boat, Pastor crossed
his arms and smiled, then they all returned to the control cabin and started up the boat. The sound
of machinery filled the cabin.

The four of them sat on the wooden floor, and told each other about their rewards. Besides
Zhang ZhengXiong who was a bit gloomy, everyone else had received good killing techniques.
FrozenCloud thought that out of all their skills, the most dependable was Zhang ZhengXiongs
aura. It increased the entire teams chance of surviving by a level. Along with his aura of vigor,
they gave a total of 5 physique and 2 constitution. This added up to over 17 health! It even
increased defence, and spellcasters would benefit from the spell focus. No matter who he partied
with, everyone would benefit. An aura specialist was one of the most popular people in the party.

LilDino, your costume is not bad, it gives you so much confidence. With this, youve taken
your first step towards beauty, having confidence. Such a happy thing. Ye Cang looked at
FrozenClouds costume which was a bit sexy and happily said.

Zhang ZhengXiong thought of that picture and sighed deeply. Lin Le was still playing with his
bag.

FrozenCloud, besides being speechless and sighing in her heart, was starting to regret her past
deeds. Team Leader, do you have any recommendations for the skill point?

Its up to you. AXiong, upgrade an aura, you dont have any good active skills anyways.
Upgrading double strike or barbaric tackle would be a waste. Ye Cang specially instructed
Zhang ZhengXiong
Chapter 82: Level Rankings Opened
Oh Zhang ZhengXiong sighed again. He decided to level up his newly received aura. As for
the minor healing light, he didnt even consider it. In the future, he should upgrade his auras as
much as possible. He upgraded aura of protection to Intermediate Level (+6 Defence, +6
Physique, +8 Spell Focus).

FrozenCloud froze as she felt her health had increased by quite a bit. She looked at Zhang
ZhengXiong with pity, the high defence meatshield priest. She imagined having to fight him.
Just thinking of trying to kill him gave her a headache. That guy wasnt someone so easily dealt
with. She shook her head and thought about where to put her own skill point. In the end she
chose wolverine strike. Compared to a move which required initial action like Shouryuukenn, a
single powerful crowd control skill like wolverine strike was more practical.

Ye Cang began thinking of his own skills. His three created skills couldnt be upgraded with skill
points. After thinking a bit, he got it down to either mirror image or spell steal. Both were
extremely useful skills, but he decided that spell steal currently didnt need an upgrade. He
should practice it some more before considering it again. So he upgraded mirror image, which
surprised him by gaining an additional effect. He could now command his clone to explode
dealing water damage.

Mirror Image (Rare - Intermediate Level): After calling out the activation word in the fishman
language (Instantaneous), leave behind an explosive clone of yourself with 20% of your stats
(Controlled by an intelligent AI) and enter a concealed state. Concealment lasts for 10 seconds,
and will be cancelled when attacking. Can command your clone to explode. Exploding deals 23
water damage in a small area. Damage effected by attributes. The clone exists for 10 seconds.
Cooldown: 1 minute. Cost: 15 Energy and 10 Mana. (This is the hero fish - Kilaris
housekeeping skill)

Lin Le spent his skill point on Whirlwind Strike. It now increased the number of rotations to 3
and reduced the rage cost by quite a bit. Zhang ZhengXiong pointed out that this skill, if you had
rage, could be used to draw your weapon.

Lin Le gave the Luminous Fish to Ye Cang. Ye Cang identified the Luminous Fish in his hands.
It was like the holy oaks fruit in that it added permanent attribute points.

Luminous Fish (Rare): Maserazzi Lakes extremely rare fish. It has been baptised by the moon.
Eat to gain a permanent +1 physique, +1 intelligence, and have a chance to learn a water magic
spell.

Ye Cang put it away, keeping it together with the Fruit of the Holy Oak. He didnt yet know how
he wanted to cook them. He felt like he was still missing something, it seemed too plain. He
looked at his experience which was 17% away from level 10. Are there people who are already
level 10? Just as he thought about it, a wold announcement arrived.
Congratulations. Player FlameEmperor has become the first to reach level 10. The level
rankings have now be unlocked.

Ye Cang was astonished, speak of the devil FlameEmperor, the name sounded familiar, where
has he heard it? FrozenClouds heart shook, as expected of FlameEmperor, he had already
reached level 10. After level 9, it required a lot of experience to level. She looked at herself who
had just reached level 9 and smiled bitterly.

Congratulations, youve entered the ranking boards. Would you like to display your name? Ye
Cang received another system message. Thinking over it, there wasnt any point. Decline.

Bro, it says Im in the rankings. Should I display my name? Zhang ZhengXiong said with a
smile.

Lin Le also asked. Should I? Im in 13th place.

Lets all decline for now. Its only just started, no need to be in the spotlights. Ye Cang said
after considering it. It was best to stay low-key, they could consider it again when the rankings
have stabilized.

1st: Fighter - FlameEmperor - Level 10

2nd: Warlock - NalanPureSoul - Level 9

3rd: Fighter - MistyVeil - Level 9

4th: Grappler - CloudDragon - Level 9

5th: Knight - ?? - Level 9

6th: Paladin - LordAsked - Level 9

7th: Sorcerer - Worryless - Level 9

8th: Assassin - NineUnderworlds - Level 9

9th: Astrologer - ?? - Level 9

10th: Priest - ??? - Level 9

13th: Arms Dealer - ???? - Level 9

FrozenCloud remained silent and thought: Team leader was very reasonable. Its just as he said,
it has only begun. Usually at the beginning of the game, the rankings are always changing.
However, those from the big guilds would probably not change too much, unless something
unexpected happens. Moreover this was only the level rankings. Although level affected your
strength, but not everything was decided by level. Those three actually all managed to get in the
top 20. Those few ?? were obviously them. Knight, Priest, Arms Dealer Sister Rose has
definitely guessed it too. Who knew their ranking would be so high, only second to
FlameEmperor and those superstars. Although it was only the beginning, it was still impressive.

ThornyRose saw the rankings. She was in 28th and FrozenBlood was in 30th. Looking up the
list, those 3 oddballs were actually all in the top 20. She began to bite her nails. This was
illogical! They were actually almost level 10! However, who was the 9th place astrologist? She
shook her head. It has only just begun, there would be big changes. However often the top 20
wouldnt change too much. Well whatever, she went to look at the beauties ranking, and
immediately gnashed her teeth. She dropped a rank again! NalanPureSoul actually sat steadily in
2nd!!

FrozenBlood didnt have any big reaction. She simply thought those three guys were good. She
also saw her little sister was only 2 places below her. That silly girl was catching up to her. Ever
since she started following those 3 guys, shes been advancing very quickly. She thought of Ye
Cangs cursed hand, Zhang ZhengXiongs tank priest, Lin Les simple brainlessness, and
couldnt help laughing bitterly. Especially Ye Cangs heart-breaking cooking.

FlameEmperor that bastard CloudDragon was in the middle of resting. He slowly looked
into the hazy sky above the graveyard, raised his brows, and smiled.

Whos the player in 5th place? Its unexpectedly a knight A slim girl with a delicate oval
face that was beautiful enough to topple entire countries, wearing light armor, and with a pike on
her back, looked at the level rankings curiously.

Pay attention to that priest in 10th. Said another oval faced beauty, who was tall and slender,
wearing a black tight-fitting robe, with an elegant short hairstyle. She looking extremely
handsome. Her beauty was enough to cause others to lose their breath, however, her chest was as
flat as a plain. She turned her head and inquired: How is my sister doing?

NalanMoons group, along with Thorns And Roses ThornyRoses group are participating in
one of Really New Villages main story quests. The beauty attending at the side felt that stifling
aura and replied with a red face. The other speaker was exactly Freedom Alliances leader and
NalanMoons little brother, NalanPureSoul.

Is that right? NalanPureSoul binked his captivating eyes, and smiled sweetly, not speaking
anymore.
Chapter 83: LilDinos Tears
Right, here are the things the two bosses dropped. Lin Le remembered the loot. FrozenCloud
had been waiting the whole time. She was just about to speak up about it, but Lin Le
remembered.

Ye Cang took them and looked through them. A superior grade fish-scale scalemail, a pair of
light blue leather gloves, and a barbed dagger. Their attributes were all pretty good. The high
constitution Fish-scale scalemail was given to Zhang ZhengXiong. FrozenCloud already had
superior chest armor and didnt need to change hers, however the leather gloves were given to
her. It was a big upgrade, after all, her fine gloves only provided one or two attribute points. It
couldnt compare to a superior quality item. As for the dagger, after thinking it over, the decided
to sell it.

Hogfish Kings Leather Gloves (Superior - Rare)

Category: Leather Gloves

Requirements: 15 Strength, 20 Dexterity

+2 Defence

+2 Damage

+2 Strength

+3 Dexterity

+3 Attack Speed

Throw your old equipment into the cart and set a price. Well sell it once we return to town.
Thinking it over, Ye Cang decided he couldnt just let these fine quality items go to waste, might
as well make a bit of money. Right now, most of the players were still wearing common
equipment, so they would definitely be able to sell.

FrozenCloud didnt speak. She thought of tonights harvest, and contemplated over whether she
should tell Sister Rose and the others. Thinking it over, she decided to let it pass. However, she
didnt know that her thoughts were slowly changing due to their companionship. If it was her
from before, she would have immediately reported it.

The ship slowly returned to the dock, and everyone got off one by one.

Pastor began packing the ship, cabin, and dock into his little bag. The four of them stared
stunned. It was all portable!? So awesome!? He looked over at the threes flabbergasted
expression and smiled: These are products of Fira. Theyre extremely expensive things. I spent
a huge amount of money and treasure to get them. Being a traveling fishing enthusiast, what
would I do without them.

So that was it. With those things, he could easily set up camp wherever he went. The four of
them nodded.

Ok, Ill be continuing my journey. Well meet again if fate allows Pastor carried his luggage
and smiled at them. He looked at Lin Le, and reached out to pet his head. Goodbye, Little Le.

He then turned to leave.

Uncle Pastor, well definitely meet again! Lin Le shouted and waved, feeling a bit sentimental.
The other three also waved their hands.

Pastor waved without turning back as he gradually disappeared into the distance.

He has his path, and we have ours Ye Cang grabbed Lin Le and FrozenCloud and
indifferently smiled.

Mm! Lin Le smiled and nodded. FrozenCloud didnt speak, thinking of something. What was
her path? Was it to continue chasing the back of her older sister? Her field of view gradually
became a bit blurry.

Acting Department? Dont joke around!

Whatever, let her join the acting department if she wants. As long as she works as hard as her
sister.

If I knew, I would have only given birth to one.

Stop talking nonsense! What if the kids heard it! Really, although FrozenCloud is a bit lacking,
but shes trying her best. Shes a good girl.

Isnt that FrozenBloods little sister?

Thats the rising star? But compared to FrozenBlood, shes still lacking. FrozenBlood defeated
a famous assassin in her first competition.

FrozenCloud, your steps arent decisive enough. Attack more sharply!



Sis, I did it!!

5th place, its alright.

FrozenCloud clenched her fists and her body shivered.

Ye Cang felt her unwillingness. He walked up and gave her shoulder a squeeze. LilDino, dont
be anxious. Soon, Ill arrange the matters over in Korea. Although Uncle Pastor is a good person,
and hes very inspiring, however hes a bit too old for you. Although I dont know much, but I
know that hes just a virtual character.

Zhang ZhengXiong nodded and patted her shoulder. Well be there with you.

Mm! Lin Le nodded fiercely.

FrozenCloud, who was having unpleasant thoughts, became so speechless that her mind was
swept clean. She felt her legs becoming weak. They thought she fell in love with Pastor, and
couldnt bear to part with him! She sighed deeply, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Looking
at their genuine concern, she smiled. I understand, team leader, Brother Xiong, Lele. But I dont
need the plastic surgery, Im satisfied with my own appearance.

The three guys froze. Then huddled up, leaving behind the startled FrozenCloud who was just a
meter away. They turned their backs to her and began talking.

Did LilDino become stupid from being heartbroken? Zhang ZhengXiong said stroking his
chin.

Its possible! Shes already given into despair! We cant let this go on. Ye Cang crossed his
arms and nodded.

Hah~ LilDino is just too stupid. If she just fixed up her appearance, she could pick from any
rich, handsome, or cool guy. Shed just have to hide all her old pictures. Zhang ZhengXiong
said with pity.

Right, too stupid. Lin Le agreed with a nod, feeling a bit resentful.

Lets continue to encourage her. Ye Cang said, and the other two approved. They each had
their own plan.

FrozenCloud was struck dumb. She blinked her eyes, looked at the three who were right beside
her, and thought: How was this any different than speaking directly to me!! If you want to speak
behind someones back, dont do it right in front of them!! She covered her forehead, sighed,
and smiled bitterly. She was really regretting. She thought of the threes words. Given into
despair? And Lele actually said she was too stupid! She wanted to bury herself in a hole.

Ye Cang took out her picture, then took out a picture of ADuo from Sisters. LilDino, dont
give up. If you go get remodelled, you can become this beautiful.

FrozenCloud felt a burst of rage. Her heart almost couldnt hold it in. Her head was filled
with thoughts like: F**K! Im definitely prettier than that ADuo! ADuos actress is my senior
at school! I know her! Shes a stinking b***h, moreover she just recently graduated!

Its for your own good Zhang ZhengXiong persuaded her earnestly.

Dont let your feelings affect your decision. Lin Le sighed putting on a mature expression.

The threes words, broke the last of her control. She roared: Ill F* !@#!@$1!! Im not an ugly girl! Im
beautiful!!!

The three of them stared blankly. Such profanities! But the three were happy. Shes finally
venting! She has her confidence back! They looked at her encouragingly.

Its good that youve vented. Just let it out and cry. Let out all your unhappy thoughts. Zhang
ZhengXiong said, seizing her by the shoulder. He embraced her and lightly patted her back.

Ye Cang placed a encouraging hand on her shoulder. Thats right, thats the confidence you
need!

Stand up straight and stick your chest out! Youre the most beautiful! Lin Le said, holding her
other shoulder.

FrozenCloud was completely stunned. She wasnt trying to vent her difficulties! There is nothing
to vent! She thought of her past grievances, and the various inhuman treatments she had
experienced here, and her mental defence finally collapsed. She started to cry for real. She stuck
to Zhang ZhengXiongs solid chest and received the threes encouragement. Although it was
funny, but she felt care and concern that shed never experienced before.

Zhang ZhengXiong sighed, gently stroked her back, and softly comforted her. Everything will
be all right

F**k you. FrozenCloud cursed as she weeped in his embrace.

TN: Is it the birth of a new couple!? This is my favorite part of every book, seeing cute couples
forming!! The more the better! Ill now be cheering for Ye Cang x Wu Na and Zhang
ZhengXiong x LilDino!
Chapter 84: Assembling Again
Ye Cang and Lin Le sighed as they watched FrozenCloud in Zhang ZhengXiongs embrace,
cursing him while pounding her fists on his chest.

Ye Cang sent Lin Le a meaningful glance, telling him In this age, its not easy being a
dinosaur.

Lin Le maturely crossed his arms and nodded. He replied back with his eyes: Who said it was?

About 10 minutes later.

FrozenCloud had calmed down. She looked at the three people who were rather bewildered,
especially Zhang ZhengXiong who had a queer expression.

Ok, since LilDino has vented, lets continue our journey. Ye Cang clapped his hands and said.
He saw that FrozenCloud looked a bit ill at ease, and immediately walked over and patted her
shoulder. LilDino, dont be ashamed. Youre one of us brothers. We all treat each other
sincerely, so you dont have to be shy. Lets go.

Mm FrozenCloud sensed their smiles and her heart warmed. Although the fact they treated
her as a brother still made her feel speechless, she felt both discriminated against yet cared for. It
was an indescribable feeling.

The scene changed to ThornyRoses location.

FlameEmperor has confirmed it. Hes level 10 yet he hasnt gotten the choice to pick a town.
ThornyRose received the news and frowned.

Then there must be a transfer quest. Some sort of condition must be fulfilled to unlock it.
FrozenBlood analyzed. Our really new villages transfer quest could very well be this battle
against the black werewolves. Or perhaps its the cemetery quest that Mad War is working on.

Maybe, but the chances are higher that it is the black werewolves Ye Tian used the
information she gathered in town, as well as what ThornyRose and her father told her, filtered
through it and arrived at this conclusion. Although the cemetery is important, but theres not
enough informations. It is known, however, that the mayor feels very strongly about the black
werewolves and wolf god. Moreover, they are tied very closely with the village. Perhaps theres
a connection between the cemetery and the black werewolves.

Theres not enough informations, I cant be certain. Ye Tian shook her head, ending the
subject.
ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, and GreenDew watched Little Ye Tian sort through the information
and logically analyze it. However, for someone with such terrifying calculation ability, it wasnt
too weird.

The four were in the middle of resting and resupplying in town. Ye Tian was going all over the
place gathering information. Whether it was a important or not, she inquired about it all.
Moreover, she was very polite about it.

When the four gathered up again, Ye Tian looked at the three women and indifferently said: I
found the link between the hidden story quests.

ThornyRose quickly asked: What?

Why should I tell you. Im gonna go find my fath brothers. Little Ye Tian gave her a dirty
look and indifferently said. When she spoke about going to find Ye Cang, she seemed just like a
little girl. She happily thought of her father, Brother Xiong, and Lele praising her and she felt
elated.

ThornyRoses chest felt stuffy. This little trickster!! The veins on her forehead began to throb.
FrozenBlood and GreenDew couldnt help but smile at the scene.

Me and your brothers are all teammates. Come, tell big sister. ThornyRose suppressed her
mood, and showed a kind smile.

So? Got nothing to do with me. Little Ye Tian thought it over and shrugged, answering
indifferently. She then turned her back and called Ye Cang.

Im gonna tear this brat apart ThornyRose showed a ferocious expression. FrozenBlood and
GreenDew quickly went to console her. Why bicker with a child. Childrens words carry no
harm, childrens words carry no harm

Ye Cang, who was exploring all over the place killing monsters and gathering materials, received
Ye Tians call. He chose to accept it.

Father, I discovered a hidden quest. Ye Tian reported simply.

Little Tian, Good job! Wait in the village, well be on our way back. Ye Cang praised, then
immediately hung up. He looked at the other three and smiled. TianTian found us a hidden
quest! Lets go! Back to town!

FrozenCloud raised her brows. That Little Tian should be the girl that was with Sister Rose,
Team leaders little sister. From what Sister Rose told her, she was a girl with a high IQ. She
joined the others and they urgently kill their way back to town.


Having received praise, Ye Tian was extremely happy. She continued to stick with ThornyRose
as they raised their level in the surroundings for a while, then she sat at the entrance of town to
wait. ThornyRose gnashed her teeth. If only this girl was as cute as your little sister.

FrozenCloud? FrozenBlood murmured. ThornyRose faintly sighed. You shouldnt be so

severe with her. I know youre trying to encourage her, but be careful not to go too far. When I
went over to your place, I kept hearing Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun continuously praising you. But
when they spoke of your sister Tch~ Whatever, its your familys matter. I wont butt in. Just
pay attention to her feelings, or a crack could form in your relationship. At that time, itll be too
late to regret.

FrozenBlood faintly smiled, but didnt reply. She never had her own opinion ever since she was
small. When will she grow up, walk her own path, live her own life, and stop walking in my
shadow. That silly girl.

That scumbag is here ThornyRose saw four people approaching from the distance and
gnashed her teeth.

Big Brother, Brother Xiong, Lele Ye Tians happy voice sounded, and she jogged over. Ye
Cang smiled then grabbed her and lovingly petted her head. Good girl

Lin Le pouted, displeased. He reached out and knocked on Little Ye Tians head. Call me
Brother Le!

Oh, Brother Le Ye Tian pouted. FrozenCloud couldnt help smiling at Leles childishness.

Thanks Madam. Well be going now, lets meet again when the attack starts. Ye Cang looked
towards ThornyRose and said indifferently. He then looked to little Ye Tian. Go say thank you
to aunty.

Thank you Aunty. Goodbye Aunty. Ye Tian quickly said. Their two voices were so alike.

Aunty? Aunty!? The veins on ThornyRoses forehead looked like they would burst. She began to
look like a furious wild boar. FrozenBlood and GreenDew broke out in cold sweat as they
restrained ThornyRose who was brandishing her claws and roaring. Call me sister! Also you,
damn lowlife! Dont try to ditch us! Were also involved in the hidden story quest!!

Calm down, calm down. I was just joking with you. Ye Cang quickly pulled the frightened Ye
Tian behind him.

After a few minutes, Thornyrose calmed down. Lets go.

Little Tian, when you grow up, you cant become like that. Got it? The sound of Ye Cang
educating Little Ye Tian could be heard. It wasnt loud, nor was it quiet.
Little Ye Tians intelligent voice followed. Mm! I got it.

Then the sound of ThornyRoses teeth gnashing against each other sounded out. FrozenCloud
stood beside ThornyRose and nodded. What he said is very reasonable.

ThornyRoses chest tightened. That woman was also a black bellied1 individual. She recalled that collection of
pictures, and sighed. Get lost!

GreenDew walked before Ye Cangs group. Really, you guys should stop provoking Sister
Rose

Brother LilWhite, Ive been feeling confused. She looks so familiar, I think Ive met her
somewhere before. Moreover, not just once. Lin Le stroked his chin looking at GreenDew
doubtfully.

Sorry whoever you are, Lele is not good at remembering people. Sorry sorry. Ye Cang looked
towards GreenDew apologetically and smiled.

GreenDew felt astonished and defeated and furious.

Pfft ThornyRose, who was walking in front, heard GreenDews conversation and couldnt
hold back her laugh. Those guys, really made others not know whether to laugh or cry.

1: Black bellied means evil/sly/manipulative.

Chapter 85: Emergency at the Mines - Smithing
Ye Tian brought everyone through the streets and to a smithy. A young blacksmith was
hammering down on an anvil, sending Ding~ Dang~ sounds echoing through the room.

Little girl, youve arrived. He saw Ye Cang behind her, and quickly dropped his hammer to
perform a salute. Sir Director!

Ye Cang vainly waved his hand, feeling satisfied. At ease.

A grizzly haired old man came down from the 2nd floor. He saw Ye Tian and smiled. Little
girl, are these the ones you said could help with the crisis at the mines?

He saw Ye Cang and his expression immediately became respectful. So its sir director. Sorry
to have disturbed you with these trifling matters. This old man is the foreman - Wales.

No matter, no matter. Elder Wales, Ive come to help you deal with the problem. As Really
New Villages Vice Director, it is my duty. Ye Cang once again revelled in their respect until
he was satisfied, then quickly patted his chest and spoke modestly. ThornyRoses girls all sighed.
The title of Really New Villages second in command has been taken by a scumbag. It felt as if
all the good vegetables had been dug up by a pig.

After some hesitation, the old blacksmith sighed. Then Ill trouble sir director. Originally we
were supplying equipment to the guards, however recently problems have arisen in the northwest
mines. We dont know how, but cave rats, lizards, and other creatures began continuously
rushing out. The mayor is already so busy with the blue scaled fishmen alliance and the black
werewolves, I really didnt want to disturb him. Since youre here, I hope youll gather some
brave warriors and eradicate all those pests so that the all the blacksmiths and miners can
continue working.

I understand, Ill take care of it. Ye Cang nodded with the temperament of a leader.

Once things are settled, I will personally create some superior equipment for all of you. Please.
The old blacksmith Wales said respectfully.

Youre too kind. Ye Cang felt his back was so straight! So straight, so pleasurable! Lin Le
pouted enviously from the side, his right foot constantly rubbing the ground.

FrozenCloud arrived beside Ye Cang and whispered in his ear: Team leader, ask if he can teach
smithing.

Right, smithing!

Right. Elder Wales, can you teach smithing? Ye Cang asked, waving his feathery robe and
flinging his short white hair. ThornyRose and the others were all speechless. You dont have the
looks! Although youre face isnt bad, youre just a damn lowlife. she thought.
ThornyRose really wanted smithing, but that bastard probably wouldnt let her be the one to
learn it. Looking around, it could be any of Lele, Shaking Bear, or FrozenCloud. She wished in
her heart that it would be FrozenCloud that learned it.

I could, however this old man can only teach one student. Sir director, this old man doesnt
mean to offend, but your physique is not suited to it. This young man however has the perfect
body for learning smithing. Its the young commander. Old Wales pointed at Zhang
ZhengXiong. He arrived beside him and started pinching and squeezing all over the place, while
nodding. Then he smiled with a glint in his eyes.

Zhang ZhengXiong had a bad premonition. He looked at the old blacksmith and got goosebumps
all over.

ThornyRose sighed but didnt speak.

AXiong, go ahead. Well wait for you outside. Ye Cang nodded, hinting Zhang ZhengXiong
to go learn.

Ok. Bro, Im going. Zhang ZhengXiong followed the old blacksmith into the smithy. The
young blacksmith clenched his fist and smiled gratefully. Finally, someone to share the
suffering. Junior brother, good luck.

After a few minutes, Zhang ZhengXiongs scream arrived from inside the smithy, followed by
old Wales abnormal laugh. Young commander! Why are you running! The art of smithing lies
in carefully smelting and rhythmically pounding

Bro, save me!! This old mans a pervert!! Zhang ZhengXiong wailed.

Everyone outside the smithy broke out in cold sweat. They couldnt help shivering as they
imagined what was happening inside. They all pretended to not hear anything. Ye Cang crossed
his arms and sighed. AXiong, its not that I dont want to save you. Hardship makes you
stronger then he also turned and pretended not to hear. The screams only became louder and
louder.

Brother LilXiong, you can do it Lin Le prayed. Little Ye Tian celebrated that it wasnt her,
otherwise she would have embarrassed herself in front of her father.

The art of mining! Lies in your eyes and hands becoming one. Feel the minerals with your
body! Old Wales voice continued to arrive. Zhang ZhengXiongs screams had become a bit
hoarse. Everyone was curious about what was happening.

Half an hour later.

Zhang ZhengXiong came out half naked, showing off his matchless muscle, wearing only his
underpants. In one hand was a smithing hammer, the other, a miners pick. His two eyes
appeared spiritless, and his voice was full of sorrow. Bro Ive learned smithing, mining and
smelting.

Good. AXiong, Im proud of you! Ye Cang throw an arm around the despondent Zhang
ZhengXiong and said full of pride.

Brother LilXiong, I knew you could do it! Lin Le smiled naively. Ye Tian stood on the side
and agreed: Mm!

ThornyRose and the other looked at Zhang ZhengXiongs appearance, and broke out in cold
sweat. Good thing it wasnt them. As for smithing, there would be more chances in the future.

Old Wales slowly walked out, looking refreshed. He stretched and smiled. This young
commander is not bad! His physique is wonderful and hes very talented. However, Ive already
taught you all I could, now its all up to your own luck. Afterall, a teacher can only show you the
way. Having raised a dependable disciple, this old man can finally retire, and wait for sir
directors good news.

Seeing the old blacksmith leave, everyone formed a circle, and began to gossip. What
happened?

Zhang ZhengXiong thought of the things that had just happened to him. He had been burned,
tormented, and that perverted laughter He suddenly began shivering and quickly put on his
equipment while putting away his excellent quality hammer and pick. He looked at the curious
people that encircled him and shouted: Go away! Bad luck! F**k! Bro, lets go do the quest.

Saying that, he carried his warhammer, put his crystal shield on his back, and immediately
walked away.

I saw it, it was splendid. A familiar voice murmured. Everyone turned and saw a black clothed
man. SpyingBlade!? When did he come?

What!? Ye Cang was also curious and quickly inquired. He acted like SpyingBlades sudden
appearance wasnt strange at all.

SpyingBlade showed everyone the video he had taken. Everyone gasped, that old man was really
a pervert. They all looked at Zhang ZhengXiongs rear view, then looked back to the video of
him tied above the furnace and being roasted like food. On the side, old Wales was masterfully
pumping the bellows and roaring: Feel the heat! Appreciate the heat! This is smithing!!
Carefully appreciate it! Ahaha~! Hahaha~!

What are you all doing here? SpyingBlade took back the video and asked them curiously. He
had rushed over after hearing Zhang ZhengXiongs screaming and had no idea what happened
before.
A hidden quest, interested? Ye Cang who had a good laugh watching the video, returned to his
indifferent smile and asked. Little Ye Tian looked at SpyingBlade, analyzing him. This guy was
amazing, appearing and disappearing as he pleased.

SpyingBlade slowly nodded. ThornyRose and the others didnt have any great reaction to
SpyingBlade joining. It was just one more familiar expert, and a bit more assurance. Moreover,
that guys character and reputation were very well known.
Chapter 86: Invitations and More Invitations
Its a hidden story quest. We can have up to 10 people. Right now we already have 9. Were
missing one more. Ye Cang looked at the hidden story quest theyd received, there wasnt
anything of note. It basically just said to resolve the crisis at the mines. He sent the quest
description to the others in the party.

Lets give that last spot to NalanMoon, after all, were all allies. Just consider it selling her a
favor. ThornyRose proposed.

Ye Cang nodded. That was fine, he could conveniently give her the equipment she bought. Ok,
Ill inform her. Lets gather after breakfast. I have some things to take care of in town, everyone
can take the time to get ready.

Oh right, Ive got a skillbook. 3 gold. Anyone want to buy it?" SpyingBlade saw that a few
good customers were present, and took out a skillbook.

Minor Holy Shield (Beginner Level - Common): Chant a verse and a keyword (1.5 seconds), and
create a shield around the target that can absorb 10 damage. The skill is affected by intelligence,
wisdom, and spell power. Receives a bonus when cast by a holy class. Cost: 5 Mana. Cooldown:
15 Seconds.

Ill buy it. Ye Cang recalled that Little Ye Tian still didnt have any skills besides the wind
blade from the wand that GreenDew had given her. ThornyRose thought about it, none of her
guilds core holy classes were in this town, so letting that little girl learn it was not a bad
alternative. It fit well with her outstanding judgement. As for Shaking Bear, that melee, brain-
dead priest he barely had time to cast spells.

Ye Cang immediately paid the money, and let Little Ye Tian learn it. Then, after everyone
decided on a time to meet up, he contacted NalanMoon.

Youre back in town? NalanMoon asked.

Mm, come fetch your things. Also, were doing a hidden quest and were missing one person.
Interested? Ye Cang got straight to the point.

NalanMoon raised her brows happily. A hidden quest, the rewards would definitely not be
lacking. Unfortunately there was only 1 spot left. Im also in town, lets meet up.

NalanMoon arrived and met Ye Cangs group of 5. She saw what looked like an anti-cavalry
saber on Lin Les back and knew it had astonishing destructive power. Looks like they had no
choice but to exchange their weapon. She then looked at Ye Cangs heavy longbow. They must
have killed another boss, or completed some hidden quest. Her sight landed on Ye Tian, there
was someone new? Her equipment looked mediocre, but she looked extremely similar to that
PaleSnow.
After finishing their business transactions, and informing her the meeting time, Ye Cang brought
his party away.

ThornyRoses side.

Youre still not going to invite them into the guild? Zhang ZhengXiongs auras are too
astonishing. It gave a whole 8 physique, 6 defence, 8 spell focus, and even 2 wisdom. With him
around, the partys strength would increase by a level, especially their survival. Not to mention
hes the best tank Ive ever seen. And PaleSnow, ignoring his character, whether melee or range,
hes a top grade expert with nothing to complain about. As for Lele, that astonishing destructive
power and his hidden class are both useful. Hearing FrozenBloods argument, ThornyRose
could only sigh. She shook her head and said: He wont join us.

Why? GreenDew didnt understand.

Thats right. FrozenBlood thought it over and nodded. PaleSnows personality, although we
havent known him for long, but he doesnt seem like someone who would take order from
others. However, we can still ask.

ThornyRose hesitated for a bit, then message Ye Cang who was in the middle of buying
equipment for Little Ye Tian.

What? Ye Cang asked.

Although we dont have an official guild yet, but I hope you guys would join my guild.
ThornyRose endured her feelings and asked professionally.

Nope, I want to establish my own guild. Ive already thought of a name. Ill take a character
from each of me, AXiong, and Leles IDs. Itll be called Happy Firmaments. Are you
interested? Although we dont have an official guild yet, but I hope you guys would join my
guild. Ye Cang asked back.

ThornyRose froze. He was starting a guild? He actually turned it around and asked her to join!?
He even copied her exact words! She was no longer able to restrain her emotions. She made a
refined womanly laugh. This bastard sure was interesting. Hohoho~ Ok, thats all.

She then immediately ended the call. FrozenBlood looked at her and couldnt help smiling.
However, it wasnt a ridiculing sneer, but a doubtful smile.

He said he wanted his own guild. He even reversed things and invited us to join. His guild will
be called Cheerful Firmaments. ThornyRose smiled.
Hes really an unpredictable guy. FrozenBlood heard it and couldnt help smiling. Making a
guild wasnt so easy, whether it be supervising or recruiting members. GreenDew looked
doubtful, could those guys do it?

Bro, were you speaking the truth? Were going to establish a guild? Zhang ZhengXiong asked.

Of course. Ill be leader. You and Lele will be deputy leaders. LilDino and Little Tian will be
elders. Our guild wont go recruiting people, well only invite the reliable ones. However many
we find will be it. Right now, mini paths are popular, so our path will be to make a mini-guild.
Not a bad idea, right? Ye Cangs party slowly nodded. FrozenCloud was startled, a guild with
only a few people? It sounded rather interesting. She suddenly shook her head. So dangerous, she
was almost brainwashed. She still had to return to Thorns and Roses. Besides, whats the
difference between having a mini-guild and not having a guild

Ye Tian wanted to talk about what a guild needed to be strong and all the information shed
researched and thought over, but after hearing Ye Cangs words, she couldnt help nodding.
Father sure is different! As long as it was something her father had decided on, she would shout
loudly Father is amazing!

Brother LilWhite sure is clever. Lin Le sucked up, rushing to be ahead of Little Ye Tian.

Ye Tian became angry. That damn Lele, too hateful. She recalled their games of Ludo, that
feeling of being defeated, and she shouted in her heart: Ill definitely win over you!!

Its nothing Ye Cang waved modestly, his vanity satisfied. FrozenCloud rolled her eyes, but
felt his gaze turn towards her. She quickly acted amazed.As expected of team leader.

Ye Cang gratefully patted her shoulder. In the future, well be together through the good times
and bad.

Speaking of bad times, the party felt their stomachs revolting as they recalled the recent roast
fish set meal. They all covered their mouths. Little Ye Tian stared blankly, extremely astonished.
What happened!? She completely didnt understand their behavior. It was too abstruse, she
couldnt deduce it at all. What happened? What happened?

FrozenCloud put a hand on her little shoulder and let out a gloomy smile. Youll understand.

Zhang ZhengXiong looked at Ye Tian with an odd expression then sighed deeply. He felt some
sympathy for her, she was still so young.

Well be suffering together. Lin Le smiled at Little Ye Tian, imagining them all eating
together.
Dont listen to them, its not that bad. Ye Cang gave them dirty glares. FrozenCloud roared in
her heart: Not that bad!? Its worse! Its just impossible to describe!!

Looking at their expressions, Little Ye Tian felt a new feeling. For the first time in her life, she
felt fear that made her hairs stand on end and her body shiver from cold.
Chapter 87: Ye Tian Goes to School and More Invitations
Little Tian, I havent formally introduced you. This is LilDino, our good brother. Ye Tian
pulled FrozenCloud over and patted her back with an indifferent smile.

FrozenCloud smiled awkwardly. Nice to meet you, Little Tian.

Big Sister LilDino, nice to meet you. Little Ye Tian politely said. She felt puzzled, wasnt her
ID FrozenCloud? Why call her LilDino? Was Dino in her real name? She asked curiously:
Why are you called LilDino?

The three guys froze. Ye Cang quickly interrupted. Lets not speak of such a heavy subject.

Lin Le pulled Ye Tian over and quietly said: Because shes butt ugly, so we call her LilDino.
Dont tell anyone, got it? It could hurt LilDinos feelings.

Lin Les voice was just loud enough for FrozenCloud to hear. The veins on her forehead faintly
throbbed as she shouted in her heart: Yet you still call me LilDino!

Lin Le then continued to take out a picture. This is LilDinos picture. Although she looks like
that, she has a good heart.

Ye Tian looked at the picture and was stunned. She began comparing the picture and the girl
infront of her. God was just too cruel. Her mouth hung wide open. Zhang ZhengXiong walked
over. Thats why were raising money to take her to Korea and transform her, so that she can
become beautiful.

I understand, father, Lele, Brother Xiong. Ill also do my best. Little Ye Tian said feeling
respect for her father and brothers. This was the legendary pleasure from helping others. She
nodded earnestly.

FrozenCloud clenched her teeth. Was this the highest level of insulting someone? Wait
father!? She looked at Ye Tian and to make sure. What did you just call team leader? She had
heard it, but she thought she might have heard wrong.

Father. Ye Tians words stunned FrozenCloud. This was his daughter!? Not his little sister?
They do look extremely similar. She looked at Ye Cang waiting for his answer.

Mm, I can be considered her father. Right now, Im her guardian. Little Ye Tian, besides when
around us few, you have to call me brother, got it? Ye Cang instructed her again. It was mainly
because it would be a pain to explain.

FrozenCloud was still lost in her thoughts. Judging by their age, she was definitely not his
daughter by blood, but they must be closely related. It wasnt good to ask too much about
someone elses family matters, and she also had no need to know.
Lets go. First well eat breakfast, then well come back and deal with some things. Ye Cang
said, then the four went offline. FrozenCloud faintly smiled, then again crossed her arms, leaned
on a fence, and closed her eyes to meditate.

Breakfast time.

Were having steamed dumplings and soy milk again! Awesome! Wu Na couldnt make heads
or tails of Lin Les words. It was something they ate every day, theres no reason to be so excited
about it. It was like he met some long lost relative.

Mm! Zhang ZhengXiong nodded.

Ok, ok. Everyone go wash up first. Wu Na patted and patted the few people, saving the
steamed dumplings from their dirty evil clutches.

The four of them lined up at the washroom; Zhang ZhengXiong, Ye Cang, Lin Le, Ye Tian,
going from tallest to shortest, like a flight of stairs.

Bro, help me scratch my back, I cant reach.

Little Tian, Ill help you squeeze your toothpaste.

Thank you Lele.

Call me Brother Le!

Wu Na looked at the four of them and felt warmth in her heart. Then she thought of Ye Tian.
Right, when will we bring Little Tian to the school to be tested. We should let her go to school.
With her ability, she should be able to jump straight to college.

Ye Cang returned to the table and began eating. Why dont you bring her later? I need to go
online and sell some unneeded equipment to earn some money. Ill leave some for you.

Really, what kind of father is this. Wu Na gave him a glare. Zhang ZhengXiong had an odd
expression. They were complaining just like a married couple in a soap opera. Today you have
to go pick up our daughter. I have to work and dont have time. That sort of thing. He then
looked at Lin Le who was teaching Little Ye Tian to respect her elders, especially himself. He
couldnt help laughing.

After breakfast, Wu Na brought little Ye Tian out. Ye Cang and the guys returned to the game
and pushed their cart around hawking their goods. FrozenCloud covered her face. It was so
embarrassing going around like this as if they were selling baked yams. She saw it was her turn.
Under the encouraging gaze of the others, she clenched her teeth and began pushed the handcart.
Everyone in the small town was looking towards them with strange expressions. The threes
encouragement made her want to find a hole to hide in, especially Zhang Zhengxiong who was
standing on the side beating his warhammer on his crystal shield as if it was a gong.

LilDino, stand up straight! Dont mind their gazes, just be yourself!

Being a handcart showgirl is your first step in becoming a beauty!

Shout out loudly!

Come and have a look! Freshly obtained, quality equipment! Definitely worth their cost, prices
are fair! Come and have a look! FrozenCloud shouted with a red face.

Meanwhile, Wu Nas mind was a mess as she looked at Ye Tian returning from the test. This girl
directly skipped over everything and was now a postgraduate student, and also a 2nd rank
citizen. She even had the freedom to research anything she wanted, she just had to hand in a
thesis by the end of the semester. She had spoken with those old researchers and made them
flush with anger and shame. If she hadnt stopped her in time, that little girl would have angered
them all to death.

Third administration building.

11 years old postgraduate student? Child prodigy - Ye Tian!? Researching macromolecular

vibrations? Ye Cangs long lost sister!? Well they really do look alike. Born in the capital.
Another one raised in an orphanage. Was like Ye Cang, abandoned. Nothing special happened at
the orphanage. One day she accidently found out she had a brother, and came to LinHai to search
for him. They were reunited and are now living together. Zhang ShaoFeng was astonished in so
many ways. He looked down at her IQ, stunned. IQ at least 230? The brother only has 74 IQ,
but the sister has over 230. Theres so many strange occurrences this year. LiJia, go consult Ye
Cang. Let her join the 5 schools competition think-tank team. I have no more invitations, you
should still have one left.

Li LiJia slowly nodded. This girl was so young yet had such a good brain. Just looking at the IQ
test results, she must have an amazing memory. Out of 10 million people, perhaps not even one
would have an IQ as high as hers. Although they wasted two invitations on Ye Cang and Lin Le,
they were able to get treasures like Zhang ZhengXiong and Ye Tian. It was absolutely worth it.
This matter should not be delayed, the first and second administrations agents have probably
already received the news. She immediately ran downstairs and intercepted Ye Tian and Wu Na
who were on their way home.

Instructor Li? Wu Na recognized the girl in front of them.

5 schools competition? Ye Tian directly asked.

Such a clever girl, Li LiJia was amazed. She immediately nodded: Correct.

I want to be with my big brother and the others. Ye Tian smiled. Wu Na heard it and was
confused. The conversation between these two was too succinct.

Li LiJia hesitated a bit. Ok.

She then took out four light purple badges in the shape of begonia blossoms. Last time that guy,
Zhang ZhengXiong, left in too much of a hurry. This is LinHai colleges symbol - the purple
begonia. Its also your identities as members of the five schools competition team.
Chapter 88: Man Eating Cave Rats
Wu Na knew that the symbol of LinHai was the purple begonia, XinYuns was the spider lily,
the Imperial Capitals was the Ice Crystal Lily, the Imperial Citys was the Golden Balsam, and
ShanLans was the black orchid.

Ye Tian took the badges and put them away. Li LiJia looked at the nearby agents from the first
and second administrative building and smiled. Ill notify you if theres any matters. You can
conveniently pass on the message to the other 3 for me. The 2nd combat test is next month on the
9th, you can participate with them.

Ye Tian nodded. Li LiJia finished speaking and turned to leave.

Wu Na felt ignored, so was in a rather bad mood. Thinking it over, it was expected, she was just
a normal music department student. She should just focus on her band. She thought of Ye Tian
graduating in a second, and smiled bitterly.

In the meantime, Ye Cangs group was selling equipment. Under the instigation of the three,
FrozenCloud became the goddess of the handcart. Her appearance while pushing the handcart
and hawking equipment garnered quite a the attention, and was uploaded to the web. It received
tons of clicks. They sold out very quickly, because the items were good, the prices were fair, and
there was a beauty. They became quite famous in Really New Village.

ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, and GreenDew watched the video and broke out in cold sweat.

I told you your sister would be turned stupid by them. ThornyRose murmured.

But she looks pretty happy. FrozenBlood smiled.

Eh, how? Look, her smile is all stiff. GreenDew pointed at her expression.

Ye Cang counted their earnings. About 10 gold coins. Not bad. He looked at FrozenCloud, who
was on the web wanting to dig a hole for herself, and patted her shoulder gratefully. Good job,
in the future you can be in charge of pushing the handcart and selling.

Well done. Lin Le said earnestly while on his tiptoes.

Zhang ZhengXiong smiled and smacked his warhammer on his shield. I also helped.

FrozenCloud felt like she had never been so embarrassed in her entire life. Hearing their praise,
all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart. Was this some sort of punishment? Acting as a spy
was really not something ordinary people could handle. She sighed deeply.
Wu Na and Ye Tian returned to the apartment, and entered the game. After describing what
happened, Ye Cang and the others froze. Ye Tian had actually become a postgraduate student.
FrozenCloud was even more astonished. Was this the legendary idiot father and genius daughter?
She became even more curious about their situation. It seems as if they lived and ate together.

She really has my wisdom Ye Cang proudly petted Little Ye Tians head, and said while
watching her happy expression.

Little Tian, youve lived up to Brother Les expectations Lin Le proudly nodded.

Zhang ZhengXiong also couldnt help smiling. FrozenCloud rolled her eyes. Even if their three
IQs were added together, it would probably still be less than hers. She actually guessed correctly.

Ok, after the mission, lets celebrate! Lets go meet up with the others. Ye Cang indifferently
smiled.

Mm! Little Ye Tian nodded happily. She smiled sincerely like a little girl.

Town entrance.

Ye Cang saw that SpyingBlade, ThornyRose and the girls, as well as NalanMoon were already
there. He waved and called out to them.

SpyingBlade heard Ye Cangs voice, and opened his eyes. He saw the five people had finally
arrived

Dammit, making us wait for so long! ThornyRose grumbled. Ye Cang smiled, embarrassed.
Sorry Madam, we had some things to take care of.

Everyones here, lets hurry and complete this hidden quest. NalanMoon said emotionlessly.

Ye Cang smiled and nodded. Since everyone is ready, lets go.

Everyone left the village heading towards the northwest, following the old blacksmiths
directions. They arrived at a logging site with many players around. Most of them were here
doing daily quests to gain experience and prestige. It was a steady and safe training area.

The party circled around the logging site and entered a hilly area. From here on, it became more
dangerous. Birds of prey often appear in groups. Usually, a few parties would have to join
together to handle them, but for Ye Cangs party who were outfitted in the best equipment, it
wasnt a big deal. They saw that there wasnt far to go. After a few more hills, the mine appeared
before everyones eyes. It was at the bottom of a hill, and there were a few guards standing by
the entrance. Seeing Ye Cang arrive, they saluted respectfully. Sir Director!
Weve come to settle the problem inside. Whats the situation? Ye Cang inquired.

Extremely dangerous, the workers must have dug up an underground monster nest. Sir Director,
be careful. Well be here if you need us. The guards parted to allow them to pass and warned
them.

I know. Ye Cang brought everyone and directly entered. The system prompted him asking if
he would like to enter the instance. Yes.

They entered, one after another, into the dusky mine tunnels. Every few meters there would be a
torch on the wall. As they went deeper into the tunnel, some of the torches were unlit, which
severely lowered their field of view. Ye Cangs eyes faintly flickered with light as he walked at
the very front. They began to smell a bloody stench that got stronger the deeper they went.
Everyone couldnt help frowning.

They saw that nearby, the tunnel opened up into a room.

Ye Cang signalled that he would go in to scout first. He cautiously went in, and swept his eyes
through the room. The inside was very spacious. On both the left and right were wooden stairs
that lead down. In all directions, there were wooden supports and planks so that the workers
could mine. At the bottom, a few rat like creatures were gnawing on a corpse. Although they
looked like rats, they were as big as cows.

Man Eating Cave Rats (Beast - Elite): Often found in caves and mines. Their attacks are strong.

Ye Cang saw that the blood had yet to solidify, so the corpse should have just died recently. He
slowly backed out of the room, and quietly whispered: There are stairs leading downwards at
the entrance to the left and right. The inside is very spacious, about 40 square meters. There are 5
big rats eating a corpse. Prepare for battle.

NalanMoon raised her brows. He could see in the dark? She looked inside and couldnt see past
5 meters. This guy could not only see so far, but could even tell the enemies appearance and
numbers. Sure enough, theres something out of the ordinary about him.

FrozenBlood, SpyingBlade, NalanMoon, and myself will take the left. Shaking Bear, LilDino,
Lin Le, on the right. GreenDew, Lowlife, Little Tian, provide ranged support. Later, lets throw
our torches in to increase our field of view as much as possible. Lets go. ThornyRose quickly
directed. She brought 3 people and went down the left stairway. Zhang ZhengXiong,
FrozenCloud, and Lin Le made their way to the right.

Ye Tian took a few torches and slowly entered. She observed a bit, and although she couldnt see
very far, she used Ye Cangs description and quickly calculated, forming a map of the room in
her head. She began to calculate the optimal placements for the torches in order to allow them to
see as much of the room as they could. It only took her a moment, she quickly threw a few
torches into the room, and a few sources of light were added to the pitch-black darkness. This
allowed everyone to see, but it also alerted the large rats that were in the middle of eating. Under
the torchlight, their eyes glinted ominously as they looked at the stairway and started galloping
over.
Chapter 89: Doubt
Standing above the stairs, Ye Cang drew his knights longbow. The bow string stretched taut,
and he aimed so he could shoot at any moment. Shoo~ A powerful arrow shot forwards. The
arrow pierced through the front-most rat on the right side and stabbed into the floor, pinning it
there. NalanMoon moon saw that terrifying penetrative power, and sighed. That heavy
longbows penetrative power was astonishing.

ThornyRose glanced up at Ye Cang. That guy was simply the cold weapons version of a sniper.

Sister Green Dew, 15 degrees to the left, 50 degrees down, delay 2 seconds and you can hit one.
0.1 seconds after casting, move 5 degrees in the 7 oclock direction. There will be a surprise
probably. Little Ye Tian used the torchlight and calculated the big rats velocity. GreenDew
nodded. Little Ye Tian was just like an assistant, she could instantly determine the time and
distance. Originally, GreenDew would have to wait for the party to engage before shooting, but
now she could directly rely on the information and shoot, even though it wasnt an easy spell to
intercept with.

GreenDews magic missiles shot out, following Ye Tians directions. The first one accurately hit
one of the rats charging towards ThornyRose. The remaining four acted as if they had grown
eyes and chased down the rat. The last missile even hit the other rat, greatly slowing it down.
NalanMoon watched dumbstruck. Magic Missiles could be used like that!? So accurate, it was
like cheating. It would be easy for her little brother, but that GreenDew is only a second rate
rookie with a bit of potential.

ThornyRose smiled bitterly. It was definitely due to that little girls instructions. Now besides a
humanoid dice alien, there was also a humanoid aim-bot. Her side now had virtually no pressure.

On Zhang ZhengXiongs side, seeing the large rat being pinned down by an arrow, he roared and
charged over like a tank with his shield raised, not caring about the counter attacks. Ye Tians
holy shield appeared around him, and the other two rats were knocked back as if they were hit by
a truck. FrozenCloud, who was following him closely, slipped past him as he backed up a few
steps from the collision. Luckily he had a holy shield, otherwise he would have lost much more
health.

FrozenCloud accelerated and then struck with her elbow, followed by a Wolverine Strike. The
rat was stunned! Triple strike, Shouryuukenn! The rat was stunned again and launched into the
air. Ye Cang, in a flash, took out two arrows and and quickly aimed a double shot, helping to
slay it. As for the other one, while it was still stunned from the collision, Lin Le merely slashed
with his blade. Then he had brandished his big blade, chopping down extremely quickly.
Execute! Two attacks! Execute had dealt a ton of damage, easily finishing it off.

Two system messages arrived. ThornyRose and the others hearts trembled. So fast, they had
already finished!?
Ye Cang noted that the one that was pinned to the ground by him was coming again and quickly
reminded: AXiong, intercept it!

Zheng ZhengXiong readied hammer then raised his shield, blocking the rats sharp claws. He
swung his hammer, activating its ability, smashing downwards. The sound of bones cracking
could be heard, and it was stunned. Lin Le quickly leapt over, and slashed with his blade; leaving
a big scar and causing it to wail. He retreated a bit, holding his blade behind him, gripping it
tightly with both hands. He slashed out, the image of a black half-moon flashed. It hit the
previous wound, cutting it in half.

Lin Le stabbed his blade into the ground, put his two hands on his waist and laughed into the
sky. He stood straight and proud. Haha~! Hahaha~! Who! Is! Next!!!

Zhang ZhengXiong felt envious. Lele had so many killing moves. His bro also had both ranged
and melee attacks. He sighed, all he had was a double strike.

ThornyRose and the others, who were still in the middle of an intense battle, didnt know
whether to laugh or cry, especially NalanMoon who had a strange expression. This
HappyAndCheerful acted like a primary school kid, but that destructive blade was too
astonishing. She took special note of that black moon attack that had cut the rat in half at its
waist.

Ye Cang couldnt help smiling, but then his pupils shrank and he roared loudly: Lele, run!
Watch out behind you!

From a hole behind Lin Le, a pair of red eyes flashed. Because of Ye Cangs warning, he rushed
to pull out his blade, but he couldnt get away in time. A black shadow whipped out. Luckily,
Lin Les blade happened to block the attack. He let out a painful Aahhh as he was sent flying,
smashing into a nearby support beam. Zhang ZhengXiong had quickly cast a spell, replenishing
some of his health, but despite this, he still lost over 60%.

ThornyRoses side finished off those two cave rats, and hurried over to provide support. Ye
Cang took a few steps down the stairs then jumped down. The red eyes in the hole blinked, then
disappeared into the darkness. They frowned, it didnt come out!?

Ye Cang had seen it turn around and leave. This creature was intelligent. It looked similar to an
alligator, but he couldnt identify it as he hadnt seen it clearly. They arrived at the hole and
looked inside. It was another tunnel that went deeper into the mines.

Lin Le slowly crawled up. Ah, Lele hurts.

Who told you to be so arrogant. FrozenCloud glared at him unhappily, but still walked over to
help him up.

LilDino is right. Although we have a wise and farsighted team leader, even he cant be too
arrogant. Ye Cang nodded, showing his approval, then casting a healing stream.
ThornyRose and the girls glared at him. Those guys are all just as bad.

Mm, I got it. Lin Le nodded his head.

Did you see it clearly? NalanMoon knew that Ye Cang could see in the dark so she asked him.

Not very clearly. It was some sort of reptile, similar to an alligator. It wasnt a rat. Ye Cang
had only seen a vague silhouette.

My bro is right, its tail looked like an alligators. Zhang ZhengXiong was closest to Lin Le,
and the tail had swept out right in front of him, even if only for a moment.

Its really strong. Lin Le added in.

You dont say! Everyone looked towards him.

It didnt come out. It seems this boss has a bit of intelligence, which means its probably not
wild. ThornyRose, NalanMoon, and the others looked at SpyingBlade approvingly. It was able
to analyze the situation, choose to withdraw, moreover it was near the surface. It was likely that
it had been influenced by another intelligent creature. If it was a creature who had been sleeping
underground for years, its primal instincts would have suppressed its reason. It was true for
most wild creatures, they were impulsive and irrational.

Im afraid this mine wont be so easy. What they dug up was probably not as simple as a
monster nest. Ye Tians words astonished NalanMoon. Such a cool-headed analysis came from
the mouth of such a young girl. It felt out of sorts. She looked at the others, and besides
SpyingBlade who showed a bit of surprise, no one else reacted.

Shes probably right. ThornyRose frowned as she thought.

Chapter 90: Upgraded Cooking
It should start getting difficult. Lets all heal up a bit. Ye Cang indifferently smiled.

NalanMoon was somewhat doubtful. Heal up? Did they have some items?

GreenDew began to back away. ThornyRose and FrozenBlood inhaled sharply, then pretended to
be calm. SpyingBlades calm face also showed a bit of agony. NalanMoon was stunned; that was
the guy that could steal from the Falling Star Pavilions boss and then calmly walk into town to
sell it, yet he looked agonized!? What exactly happened!?

Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le looked bitter.

Monstrous bird? FrozenCloud leaned over and whispered in a quiet voice.

Nope. Today well try eating rats. Dont worry, it should be delicious. Ye Cang said,
determined.

FrozenCloud looked at the large rats on the ground and scowled. Eat that thing?

Lets loot the bodies first. ThornyRose sighed and reminded them.

I want to loot one! Ye Cang shouted.

Just pick one yourself to ruin. ThornyRose sighed again, feeling helpless. Letting him ruin one
wouldnt do any harm.

Ye Cang looked at the 5 bodies and arrived at the one that he had pinned down. He reached out,
felt around, and froze. This monsters drop rate is so low

Brother LilWhite, I found a Excellent quality helmet and a skillbook!! Lin Le pulled out two
items from one rat and interrupted Ye Cangs grumbling.

Lele, always getting lucky and looting the bodies that have things. Hah~ Can I loot another
one? Ye Cang felt like he didnt manage to win a prize at the lottery and saw someone who did.
He longed to try again. He looked expectantly at everyone.

Get lost! ThornyRose said grumpily.

NalanMoon also looted one and conveniently got an Excellent quality item. The four in total
gave them 5 Excellent quality equipment and a skillbook. A +3 physique iron and leather helmet
which was taken by Zhang ZhengXiong. Ye Tian got an intelligence and wisdom one. The other
3, as well as the double strike skillbook were split amongst ThornyRose and NalanMoon. Then
everyone got a bit of money.
Ye Cang took out his sword and began dismantling the bodies. Then took out his iron pot, and
began boiling water.

Zhang ZhengXiong started the fire with a bitter face.

Ye Cang immediately added in three kinds of fish as well as werewolf meat and fishman meat.
Then he threw in a pile of cave rat meat. He also added in some seasoning, some wild herbs, and
some mushrooms. Finally he added in his secret ingredient, red and green slime gel. He smiled
and looked at the others. This is my secret cooking method, it needs to be slowly stewed over a
small fire. Itll definitely be delicious.

NalanMoon was startled. Cooking and gathering? No wonder they leveled so fast, they saved so
much healing time. It didnt seem like normal cooking either. While Ye Cang was cooking,
Zhang ZhengXiong took out his miners pick and started to mine at the surrounding walls. He
got quite a few iron ores, copper ores, black-iron ores, as well as a few stones containing
minerals.

NalanMoon looked over and watched Zhang ZhengXiong mine. They also had a miner!? This
little team had everything. His class should be a defensive paladin. Earlier, she saw him cast a
healing spell. She then became certain that those especially useful auras were also his. It gave a
whole 8 physique. It even had defence and spell focus. At this stage of the game, auras like these
were too rare. Wherever he went, people would fight over him.

Just at this moment, an earth-shattering stink interrupted her thoughts. She suddenly turned and
looked towards the boiling pot. She thought she heard the sound of food screaming and howling.
It was the stink of rotting rats in a hot environment, then increased multiple folds. Hidden under
it was an explosive odor. There was no ventilation here, it felt like the whole room was the iron
pot. It was like they were all in the same container as the soup. The odor continued to increase in
strength.

for 3 hours. Eating could cause extreme discomfort, shock, etc. Use cautiously. (This is a top
grade work of art among beginner dark cooking. You can feel the cooks motivation to improve
his dark cooking. It contains his heart and soul.)
I didnt think my cooking skill would level up. Looks like I really am a genius when it comes to
the art of cooking. Hah~ but it doesnt make sense. Since I made it, it should be delicious. I
planned it out so well. Ye Cang sighed. He had one hand pinching his nose, and another
covering his mouth.

Ye Tian finally realised. Now she understood why everyone was making those grotesque
expressions and why her back felt chilly. She looked at the astonished Ye Cang with a
complicated expression. Was her father testing her love and affection? She wouldnt let him
down!! She again felt a completely new feeling. Her scalp tingled, and she slowly dragged her
feet, moving at turtle speed. Her instinct were telling her to run, but her heart kept shouting:
This is fathers test! My love for father is all encompassing!

Hes actually evolved. This is much more terrifying than last times werewolf whatever.
ThornyRose murmured spiritlessly.

Yeah, this smell might be more unforgettable than last time. FrozenBlood said while exerting
all her strength to block her nose. GreenDew felt like shed rather be killed by a boss than eat
that thing.

SpyingBlade looked at Ye Cang with an extremely complicated expression. If he was doing it on

purpose, he wouldnt eat it himself. However, he actually looked a bit frightened, because his
smile was rigid.

Zhang ZhengXiong who was mining pretended not to know anything. He gave 200% of his
attention to mining. His mouth mouthed the words: I dont want to eat, definitely dont want to
eat.

Ah, the school told me to go visit. They said its something important. Brother LilWhite, Ill be
back in a bit. Lin Le pretended to have received a message and said seriously. Ye Cang reached
out and carried him over. Were brothers. Also, AXiong

Zhang ZhengXiong who was mining, pretending to not know anything, and Lin Le who was held
by Ye Cang; both of their faces fell. NalanMoon looked astonished at everyone. They couldnt
be planning to eat it, could they!? Is that even edible? This game didnt let you adjust your taste
settings.

Damn lowlife! I say, could you not Before ThornyRose could finish, the sound of wailing
and screaming could be heard nearby. The dust rose, and then more sounds.

Congratulations. Youve slain a cave rat. Received 75 experience.

Congratulations. Youve

Everyone received tens of system messages, and looked around at the dead rats surrounding
them. They were immediately stunned. Ye Cang slowly raised his head. They were probably
hiding in holes above us, but accidently fell to their deaths. Hah~ If they were afraid of heights,
they shouldnt have climbed so high.

They were obviously fumigated by that thing you made!! ThornyRoses groups three girls
simultaneously roared.

SpyingBlade stared blankly. They had to work together just to kill two. He could cook a dish and
instantly kill tens. He looked at the biological weapon in the pot with a bit of reverence.

NalanMoon felt cold sweat all over, and her whole body felt numb. Its been a long time since
she felt like this.

Little Ye Tian, who was doing her best to go towards the iron pot, murmured: I leveled up.

(Everyone)

TN: Looks like its no longer worth showing stats for excellent quality equipment or lower :P
Chapter 91: Treasurer Little Tian
Little Ye Tian looked at everyones hesitation. Her father pinched his eyebrows looked very
displeased. She took a bowl, and shouted in her heart: For father!! and began chugging it.

Everyone immediately felt ashamed. Even a little girl dared to try it.

Ye Cang and the other two watched Little Ye Tians bravery, and were moved. Little Tian

Ye Tian finished the bowl, and stumbled towards Ye Cang with a smile. She began losing her
strength, and couldnt hold herself up anymore. She fell to her knees, one hand on her stomach,
her expression one of extreme agony. She reached out her other shivering hand towards Ye
Cang. As her vision became blurry, she clasped her fingers. It was like she was at deaths door
and wanted to hold her father one last time. Her two eyes closed and she fell onto the ground
dead.

Everyone gasped. Ye Cangs group of 3 couldnt help looking at Ye Tians corpse and howled.
Little Tian!!!

FrozenCloud hurried to escape, but she was grasped by Ye Cang who dragged her over. We
cant let Little Tian die alone! As brothers, we must share happiness and sorrows!!

I understand! Bro! Zhang ZhengXiong took a bowl and began eating. Lin Le also followed. Ye
Cang nodded gratefully, took his own bowl, and began eating. FrozenCloud hesitated. Well
dying was just dying. She pinched her nose and took the bowl Ye Cang handed her. The four of
them leaned against each other. Before they fell unconscious, they seemed to have seen a
hallucination and smiled.

Good brothers. Ye Cang said, eternally grateful.

In this life. Zhang ZhengXiong smiled.

Not What comes next? Lin Le felt his death coming, and wanted to continue it, but couldnt
think of the next line.

Not In the next.1 FrozenCloud said, and collapsed.

LilDino!! The three cried out, sorrowfully.

Bro, Ill be leaving first. Zhang ZhengXiong felt his vision becoming dark and he collapsed
loudly.

AXiong! Brother LilXiong! Ye Cang and Lin Le cried out mournfully again.

At the side, the others felt a chill watching this scene. Did they have to act so sentimental?
Werent they just in a game?
Brother LilWhite, Lele Lele cant go on. Gyaaah!! Lin Le died rather tragically. He
screamed like a bad dub of a bandit who was slain in battle.

Lele!! Ye Cang howled and then passed out. The five of them fell in a pile. It was a rather
touching scene.

The remaining 5 people looked at the contents in the pot, with no way to retreat. SpyingBlade
leapt over, took a bowl and drank it. Not long after, he powerlessly fell backwards, and hit the
ground. He looked up, his eyes filled with longing and unwillingness. I think I see her.

Goodbye, theres nothing more I can do SpyingBlade said and then closed his eyes. His
expression looked serene.

The thing in this pot should have a chance of causing hallucinations. FrozenBlood saw that
each person had reacted differently.

Hurry and eat. Id rather die than let those guys look down on me. ThornyRose gnashed her
teeth and said. She imagined them waking up and discovering that she hadnt eaten it. They
would definitely mock and ridicule her. Even if she had to die, she cant let that damn lowlife
look down on her. The two woman dragged GreenDew, who was crying for her mom and dad,
and ate while enduring the stink.

Ill definitely get married before Im 30 ThornyRose smiled and closed her eyes.

Ditto FrozenCloud raised her brows and agreed, then passed out.

Like. GreenDew said with lifeless eyes. She felt like a woman who had just been sexually
assaulted.

All that was left was NalanMoon who didnt know what to do. Should she eat? Not eat? It gave
such a good buff, she couldnt not eat it! Eat? Her scalp tingled, and her heart told her: Cherish
yourself. But in the end, she still took a bowl and ate it. She smiled painfull and fell to the
ground. PureSoul, sister will always protect you.

A couple minutes later, their souls returned to their bodies. They shivered as the got up. Ye Cang
put away the remaining half pot. The system said I received some immunity. Next time it wont
be so bad.

NalanMoon looked at the others with a complicated expression. They were too disgraceful.

ThornyRose and the others received the system message and felt a bit better. But then they broke
out in cold sweat, feeling sorrow and hopelessness. Have they already fallen so low? Lets go
while we have the buff. Hurry and loot the bodies, distributed the loot, and continue exploring.

They received 7 Excellent equipment and 3 skillbooks: Rejuvenating Light, Double Strike,
Heavy Strike.
ThornyRose and NalanMoon both sighed. Instance dungeon loot were certainly generous.
FrozenCloud got a pair of rat leather boots. Zhang ZhengXiong also got a new pair of boots. Ye
Tian got Rejuvenating Light. Double strike that appeared again was taken by SpyingBlade. As
for Heavy Strike, under Zhang ZhengXiong incessant urging, Ye Cang bought it for him. The
rest of the items were distributed among the rest of the party.

Rejuvenating Light (Beginner Level): Hum a note (Almost instantaneous), and heal the target for
1 health every 2 seconds. Increases with attributes. Holy classes gain a bonus. Lasts 16 seconds.
Cooldown: 8 Seconds. Cost: 5 Mana.

Why dont we roll? NalanMoon asked puzzled. Every item was bid on, otherwise it was
distributed to benefit the team.

You dont want to know. ThornyRose smiled mysteriously.

Whats that mean? NalanMoon asked, still puzzled.

It doesnt matter. Just know theres a reason for it. SpyingBlade stepped up and said seriously.
NalanMoon believed SpyingBlade more. Although she didnt understand, but she continue didnt
asking. Every team had their rules.

ThornyRose didnt care to explain. She thought of the future where PaleSnow, herself, and the
Freedom Alliance would cooperate. If they had to roll for something, they could send out the
humanoid dice alien Lele. This way, they could catch them off guard at least two or three times,
and depress them to death. Just imagining it made her feel much better.

FrozenBlood looked at ThornyRose and couldnt help smiling. She definitely didnt have good
intentions. She looked over and saw Ye Cangs group was checking the ores.

Little Tian, Im giving you an important mission. Ye Cang smiled as he petted her head.

What mission? Little Ye Tian asked happily. The earlier trial by fire was effective! Her father
was giving her a mission, and its even an important one. She jumped for joy.

Here, besides me, youre the smartest. Your arithmetics, according to Nana, is also really good.
But dont become complacent, got it? Ok, this is our little teams funds. It includes Ye Cang
spoke till there, and looked towards the others who were listening secretly. He quickly pulled
Little Ye Tian closer and whispered in her ear: You need to keep it safe. From now on, youre
the treasurer!

I understand, father! Leave it to me, I wont let you down! Little Ye Tian said feeling
extremely happy. She felt Ye Cangs trust and felt needed. She seriously nodded her head.

FrozenCloud rolled her eyes. What do you mean besides yourself, Little Tian was the smartest!
The first part was unnecessary! Can you have some self awareness! Hah~
Brother LilWhite, Im the smartest. Lin Le pouted and complained.

Whats 100 times 100! Ye Cang shouted.

100 times 100, let me count One and one makes two, 10 5 20 So its 3? Lin Le
counted on his fingers, then gave his answer.

10,000 Ye Tian finally got back some of her self-confidence after continuously losing at Ludo.
However, wasnt this too simple?

Really? Lin Le asked doubtfully.

FrozenCloud covered her forehead and sighed. So it seems the math levels from last time were
real. Getting a treasurer was a must. But hower in the world did 100 x 100 become 3?

TN: Ye Tian, such a good girl <3. Looked like shes turning into a support type character.
Wonder what Wu Na will be then?

1: Good brothers in this life, not in the next: Means something like you should treasure your
brothers while you can I think.
Chapter 92: Rock Lizard
Little Ye Tian quickly checked everything. In all, they had: 204 gold, 45 silver, 8 gold bars, 1
gold ingot, precious gems, a 16.531 centimeter golden monstrous bird statue, and a golden ring.
She sighed with admiration. Her father was probably the richest man in the game. The kind that
crushed all competition. Most people would only have silver coins. Finally Ye Cang also gave
her the federal dollars. 14 million federal dollars. About 3 million of which was LilDinos
remodelling funds. Having now grasped their financial situation, she started to carefully make
plans, though it only took a second.

FrozenCloud was still trying to figure out how Lin Le got 3 from 100 x 100. Ye Cang chopped
up the surrounding rats and threw them into the cart. Then he brought everyone to go through the
cave that the monster who had attacked Lele had come from. The whole way, Ye Cang and
Zhang ZhengXiong acted like they were plucking feathers from a chicken; dead rats were
chopped up and any suspicious protruding were mined, they didnt let anything off, looting the
place clean. As they went deeper into the mine, the number of rats decreased, but in exchange,
lizard like creatures started showing up. Their tails were like alligator tails, similar to that
creature that had ambushed them earlier, however they were less than half its size. Ye Cang saw
that not far in front of them was another mining point. 6 of those lizard creatures were there
eating some big rats and miners. Ye Cang identified them.

Rock Lizard (Elite): Often found underground. Their skin is exceptionally hard. Although they
dont look it, their meat is very delicious.

Theres six creatures called rock lizards. They look a bit stronger than the big rats. Ye Cang
tiptoed back and reported. What he cared most about however, was that line about the meat being
tasty. After his recent failure, he had been continuously reflecting. Why did it taste bad? Finally
he came upon an answer. It was because of the ingredients, mainly the meat wasnt of high
enough quality. With this revelation, he came up with a new dish and couldnt wait to try it out.

ThornyRose distributed roles. She would bring Zhang ZhengXiong and FrozenCloud to go in
first. FrozenBlood, SpyingBlade, NalanMoon and Lin Le would follow behind them. Ye Cang,
Ye Tian, and GreenDew would continue to provide ranged damage and support.

Once they clashed, ThornyRose felt that this monster was much stronger than the cave rats, but
they werent as agile. Theyre attacks were sluggish, and didnt chain together well. Having
selected a target, her longsword thrusted forwards. She frowned, their skin was not only thick,
but also very hard. FrozenCloud also selected her target. As for Zhang ZhengXiong, he charged
forwards performing a barbaric tackle. His high constitution, caused both sides to simultaneously
step back. He then immediately pounced forwards, like a fierce tiger. Although rough, it was also
skillful. It made NalanMoon blink her beautiful eyes in admiration. He was a natural at taking
damage, extremely courageous, and imposing; he really wasnt simple. As graceful as a
butterfly, FrozenBlood evaded a tailsweep while striking back. Although they were both
veterans, FrozenBloods style of placing herself in danger to search for opportunities was
different from her own. As for SpyingBlade, his style was even more spectacular. He moved
through the battlefield as if he was walking in his own backyard, and his longsword was like a
viper, appearing and disappearing all over the place.

However, the most dazzling, and the one that made them all bitter, was Lin Le. His style was
simple and brainless. He would send forth powerful attacks and use his rage to activate amazing
skills, not caring about the life or death of those around him. His blade hacked, slashed, and
chopped at the three lizards around him. Then he began spinning like a big windmill, throwing
the battlefield into confusion. Everyone rushed to get away like chicken trying to fly. The blade
swept out, and anyone who didnt get away would be sent back to town. The lizards who were
hit by this attack began spraying out green blood all over the place. He then turned and
performed a heavy strike on the one that had been attacked by Zhang ZhengXiong, slaying it.

FrozenBlood noticed that the speed had increased compared to before, moreover the damage had
also increased. In fact, it had spun 3 times!?

NalanMoon, who had quickly retreated, could only smile bitterly. For normal heavy weapons
players, their attacks would be slow and easily dodged. Most couldnt even meet the
requirements to equip a good heavy weapon. However, there was no doubt about the terrifying
destructive power a heavy weapons fighter possessed. Especially against bosses and in crowds.
Moreover, this HappyAndCheerfuls grasp of timing to enter battle and to attack was quite
skillful.

Ye Cang was pinning them down from a distance. He saw Lele descend like the devils
incarnate, and began anticipating his future growth. Lele wasnt very smart, however in certain
situations, he reacted extraordinarily well. For example, his timing to enter the battlefield, his
positioning, and when protecting his teammates.

Ye Tian was analyzing the situation, and supporting everyone in the most optimal manner with
her holy shield and rejuvenating light. The third one on the left appears weak. Focus it down!

Lin Le sensed the dangerous gazes around, mostly coming from the rock lizards. A cold wind
blew past as he quickly leapt out from the rock lizard encirclement.

This Lele. We already told him that before using a big skill, especially that one, he should warn
us beforehand. ThornyRose said helplessly. Being in this team was really tiring. They had to eat
inhumane foods, and after painstakingly killing a boss, they have to guard against the surprise
attacks from the cursed hand, they even had to be careful in order not to be hacked to death by a
certain team-member. If he actually killed someone, he would probably simply smile, stick out
his tongue, and say something like. It wasnt on purpose, sorry. or some other cute words. Her
chest felt extremely tight. She looked at the group of injured lizards, the third from the left was
it? It did look the most heavily injured. She exchanged glances with FrozenBlood, and signalled
to Zhang ZhengXiong.

Zhang ZhengXiong understood and smiled. He held up his shield and charged over. They were
like football players trying to break through the defence line. ThornyRose threw herself forwards
to cut one off, leaving a path. An arrow pierced through the air , striking the one that was
opposite of NalanMoon and FrozenCloud, piercing right through its eye. GreenDews magic
missiles bombardment followed closely behind.

ThornyRose and FrozenCloud violently attacked the weakest one. SpyingBlade appeared out of
nowhere, activated his swords ability and stunning it. The three of them quickly finished it off,
leaving only 4 left. Lin Le rushed over once again, his two eyes becoming red from activating
berserk and entering his angry little bull mode. His blade slashed at the waist of the one Zhang
ZhengXiong had hindered. His heavy strike and Zhang ZhengXiongs double strike and heavy
strike struck, finishing off another one.

Such amazing damage. NalanMoon couldnt help but continue to sigh sorrowfully. If they were
in her party, its strength would rise greatly. Whether it was the auras, or the knights rapid,
accurate and timely ranged support she had to find a way to rope them in. They could be a
great help to PureSoul, even if only for the early stages.

FrozenCloud activated her counter. Her tonfa deflected the bite attack from a lizard. Counter
successfully! She seized the opportunity and punched back, striking its chin, lifting it slightly
off the ground. Her other hand, which had been storing up power, performed a wolverine strike,
slamming into it! Stunned! She followed up with triple strike, and her left and right hand chained
a series of rapid jabs. She then lowered her body, and continued her combo with a
Shouryuukenn! It knocked the lizard so high that it looked like it was standing up, and flipped it
onto its back. NalanMoon held the feather blade that Ye Cang had given her; Double Strike,
Kick, Lacerate! She saw FrozenClouds seamless combo which flowed like water and thought
that girl sure has improved a lot!

At this time, SpyingBlade appeared again, his longblade flashed leaving three destructive
afterimages. Not far away, Ye Cangs double shot pierced through the air, hitting its softer
abdomen. Another one was finished off.
Chapter 93: Indecent
ThornyRose felt her health slowly recovering, and holy shields would appear at critical times.
She looked over at Ye Tian, having a dedicated support really reduced the pressure.

The remaining two lizards, were very quickly dealt with by the party. The 6 lizards gave
everyone a total of 5 excellent quality equipment. NalanMoon sighed, appreciating the instances
drop-rate and Leles extraordinary luck. By this time, most of the party had received at least 1 or
2 items.

Ye Cang discovered a dark cave in a high up a wall. There should be a treasure chest there. He
sneakily made his way over while everyone else was distributing the excellent quality
equipment. You mortals! Watch as my divine hand loots a god level artifact!

ThornyRose suddenly felt like there was something wrong. Where was the lowlife? Every time a
monster died, he would make a racket. But where was he now? She looked around and saw him
sneaking away. What was he doing? SpyingBlade swept his eyes over and pinch his brows. Not
good, he found a hidden treasure chest!!

ThornyRoses heart shook. She recalled that chest in the volcano. That bastard! He wants to
ruin another chest! She leaped up and charged towards him. Freeze!!

Ye Cang saw the rapidly approaching ThornyRose, and quickly activated his shoes ability. He
jumped up and began to climb. Everyone impatiently ran over, trying to catch up. NalanMoon
was full of questions. If he wants to open it just let him. Why did everyone have to rush over to
watch?

ThornyRose leapt over. Ye Cang quickly tried to evade her pounce, but she still managed to grab
onto his leg and held on tightly. Let me go! I discovered the chest! So I should open it!!

Get lost! If you open it, there wont even be a grain of sand! Lele, hurry and go up!!
ThornyRose said holding on tightly. She tried to pull him down.

FrozenCloud saw NalanMoons doubt and sighed. You dont know. Team leader, when he loots
a boss, the boss drops nothing. If he loots a chest, itll be empty. Even his rolls wont be higher
than 2.

Its really that bad? NalanMoon asked astonished and stared doubtfully.

Shes telling the truth. FrozenBlood looked at the twos farce on the wall and smiled.

Lin Le suddenly jumped, and leapt directly into the dark hole.

Damn Lele! Thats my treasure chest!! Miiinnneeee!!! Ye Cang couldnt get rid of
ThornyRose no matter what he tried. He looked at the silhouette that had flew up and let out a
roar filled with unwillingness. Disappointed, he lost his strength. The two began falling from the
wall. ThornyRose felt weightless for a moment, then hit the ground and felt something on top of
her.

Everyone was stunned. After falling, their position was just too frightening. They actually landed
in a 69 position! One with the man on top and the woman underneath! FrozenBlood smirked in
her heart. This game is turning out to be too much fun. She quickly ran over and took out a
camera. Say cheese~ Click~ This will also be a precious picture. As expected of my sister.

ThornyRose remained still, having yet to react. This is his butt? His butt!? F**k!! Im going to
kill you! She thought of all her resentment. She directly opened her mouth and bit down!

Ye Cang who was just getting up felt a pain on his butt, and let out a blood curdling scream.
Aaaah! My butt! My butt! Shes biting my butt!!

Everyone was struck dumb. Wasnt this too much? Zhang ZhengXiong whose butt felt a bit
chilly looked towards Little Ye Tian and saw her stupefied expression. He quickly covered her
eyes. Kids shouldnt look! Its too indecent!

NalanMoon also watched blankly. When did ThornyRose become so shameful? She actually bit
someones butt, and it doesnt look light. Just how much does she hate this knight. It looks like
their grudge is rather deep. No wonder her mood would become so strange when she spoke of
him.

Ye Cang quickly got up and retreated, holding his butt. He felt the pain and complained.
Ouch That crazy old lady

FrozenBlood helped ThornyRose up, and then held her back. Calm. Calm. It was an accident.
An accident.

Im going to slaughter him! Release me! Aaah! ThornyRose had completely lost her mind and
was baring her fangs at Ye Cang who was still holding his butt. She, again, began to look like an
infuriated wild boar.

Brother LilWhite! Sister Rose! The treasure chest has a pair of greaves and a shield! Lin Les
voice allowed ThornyRose to take a deep breath. Ill remember this, and get you back later!
Damn lowlife! Bastard! A shield came out? Shields were one of the most important equipments
for a defensive fighter. She felt her heart beat expectantly.

You got a little bit of revenge, how do you feel? FrozenBlood said quietly beside her.

ThornyRose very fiercely glared at her and said unhappily. Go away! You b***h thats just
here to watch the fun.

Lele, come down. Ye Cang said. Lin Le jumped down and handed him the equipment.
The shield was a rectangular shield, one meter long and half a meter wide. It was also rather
thick. The greaves were made to be fastened to the users legs. FrozenCloud renounced the two
items. Only Zhang ZhengXiong and ThornyRose were left. Thinking it over, the crystal shield
actually belonged to ThornyRose, she was just lending it to him. He passed on the new shield
giving it to her. It could be considered as him paying back his loan. As for the greaves, Zhang
ZhengXiong already had masterwork quality ones, there was no need to change them, so he gave
them to her too.

ThornyRose felt much better after putting on her new superior quality equipment. Her attributes
and defence increased by quite a bit. She thought back to earlier, it could be considered her
having taken a bit of revenge. She began to feel annoyed again. She stared at Ye Cang, with her
fists clenched tightly. That was far from enough. Two arrows worth of hatred! Ill get it back!

Sensing ThornyRoses burning gaze, he held his butt and began trembling. This crazy old lady
couldnt have fallen for me, right? He rubbed his butt. Hah~ Who told me to be such a charming
leader.

GreenDew thought of their adventures with Ye Cangs group. Although it had only been 2
weeks, but his and Sister Roses hatred was like a grudge built up over multiple lives. It was
impossible to unravel. From the very first arrow that broke down her back door, it only became
worse as various resentments stacked up. She then thought of Lele and felt a burst of anger. She
walked up beside him and smiled. This time, you should remember me right?

Lin Le glared at her and said unhappily. Dont whine for attention like a brat. Youre already so
old, yet still so childish. Really, what do I do with you.

Saying that, he picked up his blade and sighed like a wise old man before walking over to stand
with Zhang ZhengXiong and Ye Tian. He left behind the stunned GreenDew, whose heart had
been pierced by his words and was hovering on the edge of life and death.

ThornyRose and FrozenBlood broke out into a fit of giggles. This Lele, GreenDew must be so
angry.

SpyingBlade sighed. This party would be perfect if they werent so indecent. While we still
have the buff, lets hurry and continue. You all wouldnt want to drink another pot of that thing.
Moreover, itll be cold.

SpyingBlades words, made everyones stomachs roll. They all began putting forth 120% effort.
NalanMoon also broke out into cold sweat, and she quickly covered her mouth. She definitely
didnt want to try it again, just thinking about it made her want to throw up.
Chapter 94: Hidden Cooking Effect
Ye Cang cleaned up the corpses, and received the rock lizard meat and other materials. Everyone
continued making their way forwards. They followed the winding path, gradually getting deeper,
and dealt with many cave rats and rock lizards on the way. The generous amount experience
allowed Ye Cang to finally reach level 10, becoming the 4th player to reach it. Furthermore, the
instance elites provided them with so much equipment that they had managed to switch out all
their fine quality or lower items. Now they wore a full set of excellent quality equipment or
better.

Ye Cang saw that once he reached level 10, his experience bar locked up. As for whether it was
possible to reach level 11, it was still a mystery.

The system prompted him that he earned a reward from his human racial characteristic -
Learned. An extra common talent point. Ye Cang added it to his only common talent, Clever and
Deft.

Clever and Deft (Intermediate): +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, +2 All Weapon

Proficiencies, +3 Reflex.

ThornyRoses girls looked at Ye Cang. That guy reached level 10.

SpyingBlade and NalanMoon maintained their silence. Ye Cang thought it was about time. To
celebrate me reaching level 10, Ill treat everyone to some good food!!

That guy actually admitted it himself. ThornyRose sighed. NalanMoon thought So it was him,
the fourth player to reach level 10. The Mysterious Lord Knight. The plain knight that rarely
reached the top rankings. The virtual web was already making a big fuss over it.

Bro, eat what? Zhang ZhengXiong asked doubtfully.

A monstrous bird banquet. Ye Cang smiled.

Lin Le, FrozenCloud, and Zhang Zheng Xiong sighed in relief.

Zhang ZhengXiong quickly lit the fire, looking forwards to it.

NalanMoon saw that the few of them were actually happy, and looked at them confused. It
wasnt the cooking from hell?

ThornyRose and the others heard from the whistleblower FrozenCloud that the only food he
could cook well was the monstrous bird, but they had never tried it before so were a bit curious.

Ye Cang took out the meat from the Monstrous Bird Bosss thigh and threw it in the pot. He then
added the rock lizard meat inside. Finally, he added some seasoning and wild mushrooms.
Everyone smelled the faint delicious fragrance. It was like heaven and hell compared to last time,
though this dish hadnt quite reached heaven, but that dish before it was definitely worse than
hell.

Congratulations. Youve created a new recipe. Please give it a name.

Lizard and Chicken Stew.

Lizard and Chicken Stew: Recover 1 health every second and 1 mana every 10 seconds while
eating. Gain +2 all attributes, +2 extra physique, +8 all resistances, and +4 defence for 3 hours.
(A pretty good delicacy. The look and fragrance all meet the standards. Good job)

Ye Cang lamented. He finally had some success in the art of cooking. Looking at the work of art
in front of him, he nodded gratefully.

ThornyRose was exulted. It was a defence type buff, an exceptionally good one. It had physique,
resistance, and even a whole 4 defence. She took a bowl, smelled the rich fragrance, and tried
some of the soup. She couldnt help moaning blissfully. It was real human food, she was really
moved. Then her heart ached. She had eaten things better than this countless times, yet for some
reason, she was currently moved to tears, especially when she compared it to the thing before.

Oh right. Those who need attack power, you can eat this one. Ye Cang took out the remaining
half pot and looked towards the three assassins.

The three of them quickly shook their heads.

I have enough attack power.

Im lacking in survival capabilities.

I also want to increase my health.

Well, up to you. Well need to eat it eventually anyways. Ye Cang shrugged. He indifferently
put it away. Hearing Ye Cangs words, everyones heart trembled. They looked at the delicious
Lizard and Chicken Stew. It felt like their last feast before going on a long journey.

Wait! The buffs stack!! ThornyRose cried out in alarm. She saw that the old and new buffs
were both still there. If he made a few more dishes, with the stacking buffs, they could reach the
heavens!

Its true! NalanMoon also cried out in alarm. If they could stack buffs infinitely, this cooking
would be too broken.

Ye Cang looked puzzled, it stacked? He had already tried it before, the buffs couldnt stack.
Could it be because he leveled up his cooking? He quickly made the roasted fish set, but the buff
didnt stack.
I more or less understand. It should be based on the cooking level. The things I make can stack
once, allowing you to have buffs from two dishes, but no more. Its similar to how the set meals
work. Ye Cang murmured.

Everyone nodded. Being able to stack two food buffs was also shocking. It was equivalent to
wearing another top quality equipment. They looked at the roasted fish, this dish was also
disgusting. It was only a tiny bit better than that rat stews with something. Everyone felt like
throwing up.

Since we know, out of the three meals, you can all choose two. The roast fish is a set meal, you
have to eat all three fish. Now hurry. Ye Cang was somewhat excited. Buffs from two different
foods, his partys strength would receive another boost. Ah~ once his cooking skill reached
master level, or grandmaster level, then couldnt he make a whole course meal. Some 7 or 8
buffs, it sounded so awesome. Cooking really suits me. Looks like I have to straighten myself out,
get rid of all those distracting thoughts. I must continue fumbling through the mists on the path
of cooking.

Everyone looked at the three dishes in front of them and struggled to make up their mind. The
Lizard and Chicken Stew was a must, in fact they had already eaten it. What was left was either
cave rat hell, or nightmare roast fish. The rat stew was better as a whole, but the roast fish sets
basic attributes were better.

Zhang ZhengXiong had a bitter face. This feeling, it was like wanting him to pick three wives.
One wife was fairly pretty. As for the other two, one was a Jurassic dinosaur, the other was a
Cretaceous Dinosaur. Unfortunately he couldnt just pick only one. With a heavy heart, he
struggled between the the Jurassic or Cretaceous.

Little Ye Tian did a bit of analysis. The optimal choice for her would be the rat stew plus the
roast fish. However, her reason told her that if she at both, she would be worse than dead. She
rejected the rat stew, and chose the one that suited her more, the Lizard and Chicken Stew +
Roast Fish Set. Then she passed out after obtaining the buffs.

This little girl will grow up to be an evil witch. ThornyRose saw Little Ye Tian choose so
quickly, so fervently greeting death. She actually admired her. She herself had already chosen
the Lizard and Chicken Stew and in her other hand was a cold rat and a bunch of disgusting stuff
in a stew. She prepared her heart and then chugged it down. She began to feel her vision
becoming blurry, and she fell to the ground, murmuring: Must get married

Ye Cangs four looked at Ye Tian passed out on the ground, and raised a bowl of rat stew. F**k
it, Litte Tian is waiting for us.

FrozenCloud felt like she had no way out. Since she was going to die anyways, might as well get
it over with. She took the initiative to chug it down, and then fell to the ground, slain.

The three others look towards FrozenCloud who was frothing at the mouth. Were coming.
The three simultaneously died.
Chapter 95: Double Boss
Everyone selected their two buffs and hit the floor.

A few minutes later, they all awakened and continued exploring.

As they penetrated deeper into the mine, the number of human corpses and lizards increased.
They continued to clear the path. The food buffs made them feel especially valorous.

Gradually, they began to run into less battles, and the mine became increasingly more peaceful.
Ye Cang couldnt help raising his brows and looking down the tunnel into the darkness. If they
went a bit further, it should be the end.

The path eventually led them to an enormous underground sinkhole, and there was no other
visible path.

This should be the place the workers accidently dug up. It looked like it caved in. Little Ye
Tian said after analyzing the area around it. It was 30 meters wide and its depth was still
unknown. She picked up a rock, weighing it in her hand, then threw it in. She slowly closed her
eyes, and heard a tiny clack~ sound. Slowly opening her eyes, she informed everyone: 23.15
meters deep.

Is this the monster nest? ThornyRose crossed her arms, looked down into the seemingly
bottomless hole, and murmured.

NalanMoon thought this little girl is really extraordinary. Everyone in that little team is
surprisingly capable.

Well, lets go down and see. Ye Cang took out a couple coils of rope and distributed them.
They tied them tightly to some nearby boulders, and threw the other end of the rope down. He
took the lead to begin scaling down the wall, and everyone followed closely, one after another.

The deeper underground they went, the darker it became, rendering them as good as blind. Even
Ye Cangs vision was drastically reduced, the bottom was simply too dark. The good thing was
they still had quite a few torches.

After reaching the bottom, they saw another rugged tunnel, but they could see a light at the end
of this one. They lit their torches and made their way forwards. On the way, they didnt run into
any creatures, and quickly approached the other side of the tunnel. Everyone extinguished their
torches. If they went in with it lit, it wouldnt be much different than knocking on the door and
announcing themselves.

Ye Cang advanced cautiously and arrived at the edge of the light. The light was in a very
spacious cave. He slowly made his way in and hid behind a nearby stalagmite. He peaked his
head out to look inside. Rather than a cave, it would be more fitting to call it a nest. In the
distance, there was a large crystal emitting purple light. Around the room were 10 other crystals,
but they were much smaller compared to that one in the distance. Ye Cang roughly glanced
around the room. There were about 40 of what appeared to be monster eggs being incubated by
the light coming from the purple crystals.

At this time, Ye Cang saw it. That enormous lizard that had sneak attacked Lin Le. It was 8
meters long, with solid cyan skin. Not far beside it was another one that was about the same size,
but it was light purple. The two enormous lizards appeared to be guarding these eggs.

Rock Lizard King - Olamus (Rare - Boss): King of the rock lizard community, exceptionally
strong.

Rock Lizard Queen - Ojis (Rare - Boss): Olamus mate, in charge of guarding the breeding room.

While he hadnt been discovered, Ye Cang retreated from behind the stalagmite, and described
the situation to everyone.

Then this should be their nest. Those miners unfortunately dug near their breeding grounds.
ThornyRose summed up.

Moreover, the light coming from the crystals must be important to their breeding. Perhaps its a
special property of these creatures. Ye Tian said, taking note of the crystals that Ye Cang had
described.

A pair of bosses. SpyingBlade faintly frowned.

So annoying, running into a double boss now. NalanMoon also furrowed her brows. She
looked towards Ye Cang and ThornyRose waiting for their instructions. Those two were the
most familiar with the team, so could make the best strategies.

Really, the worst thing to come across early game is groups of bosses, its easier to mess up.
Moreover, looking at it, they seem to be the king and queen of the group. Lets first split into two
teams. Me, FrozenBlood, SpyingBlade, NalanMoon will be in charge of the light purple queen.
Only your team can heal. Shaking Bear wont have time, at most he might get the occasional
heal off. ThornyRose rapidly decided on the teams, when she recalled that Zhang ZhengXiong
was a priest. And not just any priest, but one that had a healing spell. Her heart tightened. He was
also the best equipped tank, and his skill was unquestionable. She looked at him and smiled
bitterly.

Lele, pay attention to my instructions. When theres an opportunity to attack, Ill tell you. Your
attack power will be the most effective against these high defence bosses. Losing you would be a
heavy loss so you must be careful, and dont become greedy. ThornyRose recalled Leles
childish character and warned him. Then she called Ye Cang over. Can you let me see Leles
skills? If the bosses defence turn out to be too high, we will need him and GreenDew to break
through it.

Ye Cang hesitated a bit. One must be vigilant to not be harmed.

ThornyRose grit her teeth and sighed. In the future when you make your guild, we can form an
alliance.

Ye Cang didnt understand, so he had Little Ye Tian explain it to him. He then thought it over.
Whatever, not like Im losing anything. Moreover, shes rather trustworthy. As for her
temperament thats another matter. For this battle, she needed to know in order to command
it. Besides, when we left Really New Village, we will probably go to separate towns. That crazy
old lady bit both my face and my butt. What if she bites that place next time. He slowly
nodded.Ok.

The two of them reached an agreement. Ye Cang had Lin Le come and show her his equipment
abilities and active skills.

Dont tell anyone else~ Lin Le suspiciously looked around.

ThornyRose rolled her eyes. She scanned through his attributes and stats, and sighed. This Lele,
although foolish, his destructive power was second to none. That big blade reached up to 20
damage. And that Bloodmoon Chop, it had both high damage and caused heavy bleeding.
Berserk was already known, and that whirlwind attack turned out to be called Whirlwind
Strike wait Intermediate Level? They received a skill point? Handcart Home Run, Crossed
Eyes, that confusion technique. He had many strong control moves. Leap, that extremely
practical engaging and retreating skill. She froze when she saw Execute. Now she understood
how he had slain a high defence rock lizard in just two strikes. The damage scaling on this skill
was a bit OP, however there were trigger conditions. He needed the creature to be stunned, or
some other weakened state, in order to use it. She more or less had a plan now.

Arent I awesome! Lin Le raised his chin proudly.

ThornyRose smiled and nodded. She reached out a hand and pet his head. Mm, really
awesome.

Lin Les ahoge began to bounce joyfully. Of course

ThornyRoses heart warmed up. Such a simple and pure person. Then her heart ached. He should
be around 20 already. She looked at Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong, and smiled without a
word. She started becoming curious about the relationship between the three. She was especially
curious of Ye Cang. That lowlife, just what kind of dumbass is he in reality.
Chapter 96: NalanMoons Puzzlement
Lele, remember to save berserk, leap, and bloodmoon chop. This set of moves, Ill gather the
two bosses when its appropriate, and you can use that opportunity to deal heavy damage.
ThornyRose warned him in a low voice. Lin Le nodded. I got it.

Everyone had finished their preparations. Ye Cang took the lead, arrived behind a stalagmite,
and prepared an arrow. He signalled towards them. Enter.

Go! ThornyRose shouted quietly. They split according to their predetermined teams and
rushed in.

The lizard king and queen simultaneously discovered them, and issued a strange call. From each
the left and the right, 5-6 rock lizards crawled out from the tunnels. They began rushing towards
the few people.

ThornyRose furrowed her brows, there was a even a first stage where they had to kill a swarm of
little mobs. Its becoming more and more troublesome. Retreat! Gather up! GreenDew,
PaleSnow, prepare to cast Tidal Wave.

Everyone squeezed around the tunnel to welcome the dozen lizards. Ye Cang and GreenDew
stood in front, water rippling in their hands. NalanMoon saw that Ye Cang was holding a bow
and arrow in his left while casting magic with his right. She felt rather surprised, that guy had
such a well rounded build. He not only had a healing over time spell, but even had a crowd
control spell. However, wasnt it too diverse even for a jack-of-all-trades knight?

Two walls of water rushed forth. It was clear that Ye Cangs was much stronger. GreenDews
struck first, knocking them back. Ye Cangs struck after and sent them all flying onto their
backs. ThornyRose looked towards Ye Cang with an odd expression. His magic damage was so
high! Much higher than GreenDews. She had already been suspicious when he cast Healing
Stream, it had been equivalent to 2 of Little Tians heals. Just how high was his magic power and
intelligence? It must be due to a talent, something that raised his magic power using another
attribute. He probably even had some magic power equipment.

NalanMoon was also startled. His magic damage was actually higher than a mages by so
much!? It was practically several times higher.

After the two peoples magic, everyone charged into battle. They rapidly disposed of these rock
lizards. The distant lizard king hissed angrily, and the queen began to sway her body, blowing
dust around.

According to the previous plan! GreenDew, cast your spells. Lowlife, just do whatever.
ThornyRose looked at king that was charging and causing the earth to shake. She quickly
categorized Ye Cang as an all-round ranged support. Although he had really high intelligence
and magic power, he didnt have many spells. Only a Tidal Wave which was a good crowd
control skill. After speaking, she signaled Zhang ZhengXiong to intercept the king. She also
charged over. The two teams split up to their assigned targets.

Ye Cang lifted his heavy bow with his left hand, and drew it to its limit with his right. He began
aiming a precise shot. Constantly analyzing the situation, Little Ye Tian calculated the direction
of GreenDews spell, while simultaneously giving Ye Cang a rough prediction of the enemies
movements over the next two seconds. Then she began chanting the spell for holy shield.

Zhang ZhengXiong recalled his Holy Text. The only spell he had was Minor Healing Light, so
he had two of them stored. They would require no cast-time and no cost, it was just like bringing
along two instant healing pots, making him feel more at ease, not to mention it even had an
active healing ability. Seeing the lizard king opening its jaw, FrozenCloud quickly warned:
Dont crash into it! Although his bravery was extraordinary, if he directly crashed into it with a
barbaric tackle, it would be himself suffering.

Zhang ZhengXiong didnt reply to her. With his back to a stalagmite, he pretended to attack. The
lizard king charged at him with its mouth open wide, but he quickly dived to the side. The lizard
king smashed apart the stalagmite, slowly coming to a stop. Zhang ZhengXiong got up, and
madly charged over. With a roar, he performed a barbaric tackle! Holding his shield up, he
crashed into the lizard kings side, knocking it a few meters away and stunning it.

ThornyRose who had begun contending against the queen couldnt help but sigh at Zhang
ZhengXiongs bravery. Such a gifted duelist, especially when it comes to those barbaric moves
that made it seem as if hes was in a wrestling arena. The main point was, although he seemed
coarse and reckless, he actually wasnt. A better description would be, that he had the physique
and imposing manner of a top tank, yet the reactions and technique of a top assassin. He was a
gifted newbie who had the potential to become a superstar, but in the end, he was still a priest.
He even treated his priest class like some sort of barbarian, yet currently he was better than her.
He was undoubtedly the partys main tank. She sighed and suddenly leaned over to dodge a tail
sweep. Following that, she heard the sound of an arrow whistling by, accurately piercing into the
queens eye. Blood splashed out. That guy was such a powerful bowman, with higher magic
attack than a mage. They were all freaks. If they were all singlemindedly devoted to one role,
how good would that be.

A hiss of pain echoed throughout the room. The lizard queen snarled incessantly.

NalanMoon also couldnt help being impressed by Zhang ZhengXiong. Such an outstanding
tank. Everyone knew how important a good tank was to a party. They were crucial when fighting
bosses. Taking advantage of the opportunity Ye Cang had created, her feather blade executed a
Lacerate, cutting its belly. Then followed up with a double strike, before retreating to avoid the
queens stomp. FrozenBlood also appeared, performing her own combo. However even its
bellys defence was exceptionally high, the damage she could do was limited. Unexpectedly, it
was Ye Cangs arrow stabbing into its eye that did the most astonishing damage.

NalanMoon who had retreated and was wandering, watched SpyingBlade calmly attacking,
dodging, then attacking some more. If the Falling Star Pavilion was also in Really New Village,
there would be a good show to watch. That guy has always been a mystery. Even his origin was
rather remarkable. According to her secret sources, he should be the Falling Star Pavilions
Leader, CompassionateStars, ex lover. It was also him that helped her get the position of leader
in the previous game. It could be said that he was CompassionateStars biggest supporter. No
one knows why, but one day their relationship completely broke apart, and he was expelled from
the guild. CompassionateStar also seems to hate him. The strange thing was, every time she
caused him trouble, she would never kill him. At most, she would put up a bounty for show. And
that guy, he never took an assassination request against her. Soon after, he withdrew from the top
10 assassins list and became treasure hunter - SpyingBlade. The reason for this was also a
mystery. He used to be the only person who could take down chinas number 1 assassin - the
heavenly conductor, and ending their duel in mutual destruction. He was really famous for a
time, the super rookie - Frenzied Shadow - DarkBlade. The people who knew this didnt number
more than 5. Most people thought DarkBlade had retired after his moment in the spotlight. Even
she only accidently found out through PureSoul. Just what happened between him and
CompassionateStar?

While the lizard king was stunned, Lin Le directly chopped at it with Execute. Although it
couldnt compare to a full rage Execute, but he couldnt miss this opportunity. His blade blade
drew a half-moon, and cyan blood sprayed out like a fountain. A horrible howl echoed
throughout the room.

Execute was successful ThornyRose thought. The lizard queen heard the kings scream, and
snarled furiously. The ground began to shake, and everyone retreated. It was casting a spell! It
was too fast, there wasnt time to interrupt!! At this time, from the trembling ground, rock spikes
suddenly shot up. She quickly stepped away and avoided being pierced by the spike. She saw
that in front of her, were countless rock spikes that were meters tall. Then she saw some of the
spikes separate as the queen ran to provide assistance to the king. She quickly chased after it, but
was slowed by the spikes.
Chapter 97: Rapid Combo and Barbaric Charge
By the time everyone began their pursuit, ThornyRose had already squeezed past the spikes. Her
field of view increased, and she quickly activated her Charge to rush over. Just at this time, a
shadow flashed past her, bringing with it a red light that stabbed into the queens waist, causing a
burst of blood. Then four red sword-lights shot out, stabbing towards its four legs. Soon after, the
shadow performed a tackle with its shoulder, causing the queens body to stop. It was followed
closely by a dark red flash, that stabbed through the queens neck.

Curses thorns ability (Increase the damage of next attack) + Dashing Straight Thrust, Multiple
Straight Thrusts, his shoulder guards ability (Shoulder Strike - knockback), and finally a Precise
Strike (Increase the damage of next attack) + Straight Thrust. This combo was finished so
quickly, others only saw a blur. By the time the queens howl was heard, Ye Cang had already
sheathed his sword and retreated.

Little Ye Tian instantly calculated the speed of his thrusts, and her mouth hung wide open. It
was almost at the speed of sound. As expected of father.

ThornyRose also froze. That combo was fast. Thats all that was needed to describe it fast. He
had gained 2 more melee skills. Those 4 thrusts and that high speed charging thrust, they should
be skills he got when she was away. This guy, now he was even freakishly strong in melee. Was
he really trying to be an omnipotent knight? He really makes one anticipate his growth. But just
how strong would he be if he specialized.

NalanMoon looked at Ye Cang with a complicated expression. Just imagining having to take on
that knights moves made the blood drain from her face. The game had just started yet he already
had a good movement / attack skill. Looks like in this game this party will make quite the name
for themselves, though becoming rich was still not guaranteed. Being professional gamers was
not so easy. It required stumbling your way through numerous dark times numerous. Her sight
returned to SpyingBlade again. That guy never braved through the dark times, instead he chose
to go into seclusion, and hid away. Compared to his time as the Frenzied Shadow where he was a
peerless assassin, he had really changed. He used to be like his title, a peerless and crazy spectre,
with an attacking style more berserk than a berserker. Nothing like now, acting so leisurely and
carefree as if he was taking a walk. Did something happen to change his heart? Or is this some
sort of natural transformation. Although she didnt know what his strength was now, or whether
he could still fight like he use to, with that style that took the audiences breath away and made
their blood boil, but he was definitely not any worse than herself or FrozenBlood.

ThornyRose charged and arrived soon after Ye Cang retreated. She stomped and bashed her
shield into its bleeding head. Stun! She looked towards the nearby lizard king. Shaking Bear,
pull it over here! Lele! Prepare to take action!!

Zhang ZhengXiong easily dodge past a heavy attack, raised his hammer, activated its ability, and
smashed onto the lizard kings head. The sound of a heavy strike echoed through the room,
causing it to howl painfully. It was also stunned! He began to circle around to its side.
FrozenCloud watched him thinking whats he doing?
Watch out! Its coming!! Zhang ZhengXiong smiled brightly and shouted. Barbaric Tackle!
He raised his shield and roared violently, then smashed into it. Aaahhhh!!!

The lizard king was rammed by Zhang ZhengXiongs well built body. Then, as if they were two
cars, with one of them pushing the other from behind, they steadily moved!!

The lizard king that just recovered was startled. It used its claws to attack Zhang ZhengXiong
who was rapidly pushing it over, but its body lost to the inertia, and couldnt turn to exert
strength. Zhang ZhengXiong sensed the claws, but didnt dodge and instead became more blood-
thirsty, like a furious rhinoceros. Get the hell over there!!

He took the lizard kings attack, and fearlessly continued pushing. At the same time, he used
both the spells stored in his holy text on himself. He saw that it was curling up its body to bite
him, and his rings ability activated. A blinding light flashed, and he immediately activated the
damage reduction. Ye Cang quickly used a healing stream; Little Ye Tians Holy Shield and
Rejuvenating Light also arrived. NalanMoon and the others heard Zhang ZhengXiongs violent
roar, saw that force that even oppressed the boss, that wild and fearless tanking, and they felt
their blood boil. This guy will definitely become remarkable! What he has is definitely more than
just potential!

Good guy SpyingBlade murmured feeling rather emotional, his grip on his longsword
tightened.

The lizard queen took notice of Ye Cang who appeared rather sluggish. ThornyRose was also
puzzled. What was going on? What was he blanking out there for? The queen was closing in and
hes still not dodging!? Dodge!!

Boom~! ThornyRose saw Ye Cang explode, becoming a burst of water. The queen received the
attack and screamed out in pain again. And this time, Ye Cang suddenly appeared. He was
nearby, with his longbow ready with two arrows. Double shot pierced through both its eyes.

What kind of skill was that!? ThornyRose looked looked at Ye Cang puzzled, not knowing what
had happened. This guy had such a mysterious skill, how did he get it? It was water type so it
should be from the Blue Scaled Fishmen. The skill should be more or less to leave behind a
water clone. He had appeared over there, so if it wasnt stealth, then it was a teleport. But
teleport wasnt too likely, so it was probably stealth. Her heart felt a burst of envy. This was a
godly skill for any mage or archer. Creating a trap by pretending to make a mistake, drawing
them in and then killing them. The most important point was that the damage was not small. It
even has a knockback and stunning effect.

NalanMoon also stared at it distracted. When did he appear there? Some sort of water magic
trap? She thought back to when they first met. If the one she fought wasnt FrozenCloud, but
him, she probably wouldnt even get an opportunity to retaliate. This guys attacks are too
concise, not giving others a chance. His styles and moves were straight out of the textbook, but
were executed without a single mistake.
The figure of Zhang ZhengXiong pushing the lizard king was about to arrive. Ye Cang was like
he had eyes on the back of his head, just as the lizard kings traffic accident was approaching, he
drew his bow, and turned while taking a step. Looking at Zhang ZhengXiongs back, he prepared
a precise shot, raised his brows, and shot the arrow. It shot past Zhang ZhengXiongs shoulder
and stabbed through the lizards jaw, dealing a great amount of damage.

ThornyRose and the others firmly controlled the lizard queen. SpyingBlade, who was counting
the time, slid through the dangers, and his longsword executed a stunning attack. The heavy
attack landed on its skull, stunning it, and knocking it back. Zhang ZhengXiong had just arrived
after pushing his lizard king tens of meters. He only had a third of his health remaining. He
borrowed the opposing force to leap back, and waited for the healing spells to restore his health.

Lele! ThornyRose roared. Before the bosses even met, Lin Le had already activated berserk
and entered angry little bull mode. His two hands held his large anti-cavalry saber tightly, he
stomped off the ground and leapt over.
Chapter 98: Fierce Battle Against the Lizard Couple
Ye Cang took note of Lin Les figure. His skill cooldowns were about done, so before Lin Le
leapt, he began casting a Tidal Wave. GreenDew also circled around the obstacles, and began
casting. ThornyRose and the others took a few steps back, and two tidal waves came rushing
forth again. The waves hit the two bosses and knocked them into a stalagmite.

Lin Le was like a warrior running on the wave. He stepped off the stalagmite, and his blade
slashed down appearing like a black moon. Bloodmoon Chop! Blood spouted like a geyser. Ye
Cang again activated his Dashing Straight Thrust, stabbing the side of the lizard kingshead.
Multiple Straight Thrusts and Straight Thrust rapidly caused many little holes. Lin Le who had
stepped off the stalagmite and landed on the ground, got up and readied his sword. Whirlwind
Strike! Brother LilWhite! Out of the way!

Ye Cang saw the blade that was about to hit him, and activated his accessorys ability - Kilaris
Seamless Combo. He became a shadow that flashed around the two bosses. 5 strikes that were
neither deep nor shallow left behind 5 scars. Together with Lin Les black whirlwind, blood flew
everywhere. Lin Le turned and performed his final heavy chop. Behind him, Ye Cang quickly
sheathed his sword, took out his longbow, drew an arrow, and aimed a shot, his bowstring taut.

The twos coordination, and how beautifully their skills paired up, Zhang ZhengXiong watched
with envy. Attack skills! ThornyRose became even more shocked. The skill that guy used was
odd, it could both dodge and attack. She thought back to that one accessory that had already been
taken back in the armory. So it turned out he had it. It made sense, his prestige was far higher
than everyone elses

While the two bosses were weakened, everyone encircled them. FrozenCloud activated her class
equipment, the martial art clothings special ability. A slight draft exploded out around her, and
her speed increased by quite a bit. She then used her charge skill, followed by a wolverine strike,
triple strike, then ducked down and performed a Shouryuukenn, launching the queen up and onto
her back. FrozenBlood raised her brows, that girls got some good stuff. Both her strength and
speed had increased significantly, it should be a temporary buff. The cornered lizard king began
attacking back desperately.

Careful! The king is using a skill!! Little Ye Tian was paying attention to the lizard king.
Although it was weakened, but a brown energy surround flowed out of it. Countless rock spikes
shot out of the ground. Zhang ZhengXiong quickly jumped away, but he was still stabbed in the
shoulder. His health fell to around 40. The others quickly dodged.

NalanMoon and the other assassins didnt receive any damage. ThornyRose received a few light
wounds. Only Zhang ZhengXiong suffered any significant damage. Ye Cang had already
retreated the moment he heard Little Ye Tians warning. As for Lin Le, maybe his luck was just
that good or something, but rock spikes appeared all around him, but none of them touched him.
The queen who, was on her back, issued a desperate roar. Everyone felt a shiver. This time all
the rock spikes started exploding one after another, becoming tiny pieces of shrapnel. Everyone
who was still within the stone spikes immediately panicked. Were screwed!!

Ye Cang immediately felt his health plummeting. Although the damage of each shrapnel was
low, but with so many of them, it became extremely frightening. He quickly laid low to reduce
the number of hits and drank a health potion.

Everyone followed and lied on the ground.

Zhang ZhengXiong quickly reached out and opened his holy text. A soft light washed over
everyone as they were about to die and raised their health. It even reduced the damage they took
by a lot. At last, they passed this phase, but they were all left with less than half their health.

Ye Cang relaxed, they had to finish the fight as soon as possible! He looked at the cooldown of
all his skills. There wasnt enough, all he had was double shot and steal spell.

ThornyRose also relaxed. This was the final stage of the battle, good thing that Shaking Bear had
a trump card up his sleeve. She stared at the holy text in his hands and thought priest? She had
almost forgotten the role of his class. She couldnt help smiling bitterly, well it was a good thing.
There shouldnt be any more big moves. With her charge off cooldown, she targeted the queen
who was getting up. She held her shield in front of her as she charged over. She took advantage
of its weakness and stunned it again. Her longsword performed two slashes, and dealt a decent
amount of damage.

SpyingBlade easily ducked under the lizard kings tail sweep, and leaped. His hooked longsword
danced, turning into three sword shadows.

Congratulations, youve slain the Rock Lizard Queen - Ojis. Received 935 experience.

The lizard king issued a mournful roar full of wrath, and entered berserk mode!

Its berserk! Little Ye Tian warned. A holy shield appeared around ThornyRose. She waved
her hand and a wind blade flew out of her wand. Ye Cang used double shot, and activated his
boots speed boost. Like a demon, he appeared beside the lizard king and flourished his robe.
Five feather blades flew out, three of them managing to hit, while the other two missed. While he
was spinning, he put away his longbow and simultaneously drew his sword. A red light flashed,
straight thrust! A strong wind blew over. Not good! He managed to leave behind a water clone,
but he was still hit by the tail while concealed and was sent flying.

Ye Cang looked at his health and saw he had less than 10 left, he had almost died. The clone who
had been cut in half exploded!

The rock lizard was stunned again. FrozenCloud raised her hand to block the water droplets.
NalanMoon was on the other side and also raised her hand to block. They attacked from both
sides, slashing at its abdomen.
FrozenBloods dagger stabbed into its heart, and then viciously kicked upwards, and performed
a double strike.

NalanMoon saw that FrozenBlood had taken the heart weak point, so she aimed at its abdomen
and dragged her feather blade leaving a long scar. Blood burst out as she pulled her blade out and
performed a lacerate.

The two of them both dealt a large amount of damage. SpyingBlade smiled and didnt join the
battle. He backed up and circled looking for another opportunity.

Zhang ZhengXiong chose not to engage, backing up. He temporarily acted as a healer, while
waiting for opportunities. There was only one boss left, it wouldnt be good to accidentally die.
He quickly healed himself by drinking a health potion.

ThornyRose raised her shield and blocked the tailsweep that had sent Ye Cang flying. It pushed
her back a few steps. Lin Le dragged his handcart, and appeared from behind the explosion of
water. Using his handcart filled with stuff as a weapon, Handcart Home Run!

Eat this!

With a violent collision, the lizard king was blasted into a stalagmite. Becoming stunned again!

As Ye Cang hit the ground, he somersaulted to his feet while drawing his bow. By the time he
got up, his bow was already fully drawn and he was aiming a precise shot.

The rock lizard kings movement were becoming more sluggish, while its attacks became
stronger. Although to most players, this sort of berserk state was a sign of danger, but to
professional players such as ThornyRose and NalanMoon and the others, it was equivalent to
announcing all its attacks. Most berserk creatures would lose their minds. Although their
damage increased, their attack pattern and speeds became easier to grasp.
Chapter 99: Skillbook - Rock Spikes
SpyingBlade again stuck to the lizard boss, his hooked blade flashing like a shadow. Ye Cangs
precise shot along with GreenDews magic missiles whistled through the air and ended its life.

Congratulations. Youve slain the Rock Lizard Boss - Olamus. Received 960 experience.

Hearing the system message, everyone sighed in relief. The nearby FrozenCloud quickly
intercepted Ye Cang who was making a break for the lizard bosses. FrozenBlood thought not
good and also ran over. SpyingBlade was like a goalkeeper watching over the lizard corpses, he
sheathed his weapon and made a Taichi gesture. Come!

Humph~. Ye Cang suddenly bypassed FrozenClouds charge and jumped over FrozenBloods
sliding tackle. He sneered, I wont be intercepted every time. He looked at SpyingBlade. This
will decide victory or defeat!!!

A silhouette flew over. ThornyRose had charged over to intercept him, and tackled Ye Cang who
was still in the air from jumping over FrozenBlood. She held onto him tightly as they hit the
ground. SpyingBlade sighed in relief. The evil aura that guy had when he wanted to loot corpses
was not normal. That sort of abnormal attachment, it made people break out in cold sweat.

NalanMoon stood in place, her head full of questions. What happened? What are they doing?
She was unable to understand.

Little Ye Tian looked over and sighed. Father has been intercepted, looks like his divine hand
has been sealed again. Due to Ye Cangs brainwashing, she believed him without a doubt.

Crazy old lady, release me!! Ye Cang said looking at Lin Le who was running to the corpses.
He reached out his hand trying to reach them.

ThornyRose was prepared this time. She tightly held onto his waist. However even like this, Ye
Cangs butt was like a worm, squirming around in her face.

NalanMoon sighed. Did they have to be so crazy every time. Zhang ZhengXiong looked at his
own hand, why didnt he inherit the curse. He looked over at GreenDew. Im going to go loot
the queen! Youre not going to go stop me!? I wont lose to my bro when to comes to being
unlucky! Im really going to loot it!!!

GreenDew glared at him. Pitiful playboy. Then she looked away, not giving him anymore
attention.

Zhang ZhengXiong sighed. He looked into the light of the crystals, in thought. Where are my
lucky encounters

Lin Le indifferently looted the lizard bosss corpse, grabbing a few things. Then he turned to the
queen and looted a few more things. The whole thing seemed as leisurely as if he was taking a
walk to second base, and then due to there being no third base, he went directly to home - in
front of Ye Cang and ThornyRose. Brother LilWhite, Sister Rose, we got a heavy shoulder
plate, a heavy belt, light leather gloves, a longsword, as well as a skillbook.

ThornyRose released Ye Cang and took the equipment. The heavy shoulder, belt and longsword;
three items which she really wanted, but she knew she could only have one of either the shoulder
or belt. She decided to let him pick first. She looked towards Zhang ZhengXiong. The shoulders
or the belt, which one do you pick?

Zhang ZhengXiong decisively chose the shoulder plate, since he didnt have one yet.
ThornyRose nodded, he didnt have one yet, while she had an excellent one. She swapped her
belt with the new one she could barely equip. FrozenCloud didnt participate because she already
had a masterwork quality belt.

Olamus Back (Masterwork - Rare)

Category: Heavy Shoulder

Requirements: 30 Constitution, 20 Strength

+6 Defence

+5 Constitution

+3 Strength

Olamus Rock Skin: Activate to reduce the damage of the next incoming attack by 20%.
Cooldown: 1 hour.

ThornyRose sighed, it was really a top quality shoulder plate. It even had a damage reduction
ability. However, this belt was also good, it had a fixed damage reduction. It couldnt even be
compared to her old belt.

I currently dont need the gloves. Ye Cang sighed. He failed to loot again.

ThornyRose nodded. She let NalanMoon, FrozenCloud, FrozenBlood, and SpyingBlade roll for
it. Lin Le currently didnt need new gloves, so he didnt even consider it. Moreover it would be a
bit of a waste to give it to him. In the end, FrozenCloud got it.

All that was left was the longsword and the skillbook. They examined the skillbook.

Rock Spikes (2nd rank magic - Rare): Chant 3 lines (3 seconds), and cause three rock spikes to
emerge in a target area. Each dealing 25 damage. Has a chance to knock up or stun on hit. Cose:
12 mana. Cooldown: 1 minute.
This skillbook ThornyRose looked between GreenDew and Ye Cang, then sighed. Lets
bid. Start at 3 gold.

3 gold. NalanMoon was bidding for NalanBeauty who was a mage. Moreover, control skills
were always in demand.

4 gold. ThornyRose wanted to get it for GreenDew. Afterall, she was a core member of her
guild who was in the same town as her.

6 gold. Ye Cang directly and tyranically jumped the price.

Can we pay in real money? NalanMoon asked with a frown.

For items like this, its best to stick to using gold. After all, were not companions and were all
from different backgrounds. Moreover, youre not a mage, we cant give you priority.
ThornyRose also really wanted to pay in real money, but even then she might not be able to get
it. That guy had too much gold. To bleed too much to get this, it wasnt practical nor was it
worth it.

Pass. NalanMoon nodded. She didnt complain. Not to mention that she wasnt a mage, this
party had two spellcasters. Well one of them was a spellcaster that wasnt really a spellcaster.

7 gold. ThornyRose continued bidding.

8 gold. Ye Cang said, not letting up.

9 gold. ThornyRose said, clenching her teeth.

10 gold. Ye Cang shrugged indifferently. Afterall, he had money.

Little Ye Tian leaned over and whispered. Father, go directly to 20 gold. After distributing the
money, well only have pay 10 gold. If she can still bid after that, then let her have it. After all, if
we pay out more than that, it wont be worth it. There will be many skillbooks in the future.
Although we have a lot, there will be a lot of uses for it in the next town. We should conserve as
much as possible.

Ye Cang thought of Little Ye Tians words, and faintly nodded.

ThornyRose furrowed her brows. She didnt know what that girl said. She had probably analyzed
this skillbooks market value, and had given him an accurate limit. She continued to bid. 11
gold.

20 gold. Ye Cang retaliated. What you get for biting my butt!

You! ThornyRose resisted the urge to slap him. Pass.

Ye Cang took the skillbook and gave her 10 gold to distribute to everyone. He only needed a few
strong magics, after all, he wasnt an orthodox spellcaster. Moreover, magic to him was just a
way to increase the number of things he could do in battle. Although this skill was not bad, but it
would be better to save it for Nana, otherwise shed complain when she arrives. He put it away
with a smile.

ThornyRose saw that he didnt immediately learn it. What was he saving it for? But she didnt
ask. Finally, they bid for the brown longsword. In the end, she won it for 6 gold, and equipped it.
Although it hurt her wallet, she was still somewhat satisfied. Mainly because this sword had a
pretty good passive petrification ability, and it even gave defence. It was a rare defensive
weapon.

TN: That battle took forever

Chapter 100: Ordering the Guards
Ye Cang conveniently chopped up the boss couples body and tossed it into the cart. NalanMoon
felt numb, this guy was really inhuman. Especially when she learned that the meat stuffing in the
fish was werewolf meat, she almost threw up a second time.

Ye Cang looked at the surrounding eggs and identified them.

Rock Lizard Eggs: The eggs of a rock lizard. Their growth is accelerated by the light from the
crystals. It contains a lot of egg white and is very nutritious. The texture is deliciously tender.
Edible.

Purple Energy Crystal (Low Quality): A glowing crystal, not worth much. Poisonous. Not edible.

What to do with these eggs? The party wasnt able to identify them. Zhang ZhengXiong could
only identify the crystals, but didnt dig them out. He looked at Ye Cang waiting for his decision.

Ignore them, lets go back and ask around in town. Ye Cang said after thinking it over. It was
better to gather some information first. For food products, he already had enough. And if they
took the crystals, it would be hard to hatch these eggs. They should go ask the old Mar couple.

ThornyRose nodded, she also thought to go back and see if they had any other uses. Its not as if
they could grow legs and run away. Everyone made their way out of the mine, and saw the
guards at the entrance. Ye Cang had an idea. They didnt need to go back to the village. He told
one of the guards about what happened inside, and had him report back to town.

The director was indeed the director. He could have these ignorant NPCs run his errands.
ThornyRose and the others sighed with sorrow. Their prestige hadnt yet reached the level where
they could order the guards around.

We can just wait here for the news, and conveniently eat dinner. Everyone who needs to eat
should go eat, well meet up and to continue waiting after. Ye Cang said, and then brought
Zhang ZhengXiong, Ye Tian and Lin Le offline. It was already 8 oclock at night.

Those who want to go eat can go, Ill stay and guard here. ThornyRose looked at where they
had disappeared from. Damn, would it kill you to wait a little longer. What if something
unexpected happened? We at least need someone who can stay and speak, best if it was the
director.

NalanMoon was also astonished. Those guys really didnt miss any of their three meals. Most
importantly they didnt even consider the time. But thinking it over, it made sense. Really New
Village was at least a few hours away. Nodding, she logged off to eat.

Seeing most people had dispersed, ThornyRose smiled and grabbed the whistleblower
FrozenCloud. LilDino, your skills and equipment are rapidly catching up to me, youre just
lacking a good offhand weapon.
Eh, can you not call me LilDino, Sister Rose. FrozenCloud rolled her eyes.

Just how much gold do they have? FrozenBlood asked doubtfully.

I dont know exactly, but it should be above 150. FrozenClouds words stunned the three of
them. So much!?

Lele inadvertently fished a chest. Inside was at least 100 gold worth of goods. FrozenClouds
words left the three of them speechless. Thinking back, that Lele was really too lucky, yet from
head to toe, he emitted the aura of a foolish person.

Fishing? ThornyRose nodded. She thought of Ye Cang and the other threes secondary
professions: cooking, gathering, smelting, fishing, forging, mining all the good things had
been given to the pigs. Hah~

Meanwhile, Ye Cangs group of four who had logged out, slowly got up. They were planning to
get takeout, but realised that Wu Na was gone.

Shes rehearsing with her band. Little Ye Tian said. The three slowly nod.

What was Nanas band called? Lin Le rubbed his head, thinking really hard.

Sinking Sand. You cant even remember that. When she hears about it, shell flip out again
Ye Cang knocked on Lin Les head and then smiled.

Bro, I dont think thats what its called. But its definitely something sand. Zhang
ZhengXiong awkwardly reminded.

Little Ye Tian sighed deeply. Falling Sand. She felt a bit bad for Nana.

The three of them frozen, then nodded looking enlightened. Ye Cang shrugged. Well lets get
takeout.

At this time, they heard the sound of the front door unlocking. A gothic styled Wu Na came in
through the front door. She had deep red lipstick, short black hair that reached her chin, smokey
eye makeup, simple skull earrings, sexy long boots, ripped up stockings, as well as wild leather
clothes. Little Ye Tian looked at her stunned, then her eyes became little stars as she murmured.
So cool

I guessed that you guys havent eaten. I happened to pass by the night market, so I got some
stir-fry and barbecue from old Wangs. Wu Na carried her guitar and entered. She lifted the
takeout boxes and smiled.

Nana, youre the best. Lin Le smelled the fragrance and quickly helped her bring it in.
Sorry for the trouble, east districts little rock and roll queen. Ye Cang crossed his arms and
nodded gratefully. Wu Na glared at him unhappily. Are you making fun of me?

Nana, its great having you around Zhang ZhengXiong looked at the delicious food, and felt
moved. Lin Le continuously nodded. After eating that rat meat, the food in front of them seemed
like something made in heaven. They felt so moved that they wanted to cry. Being professional
gamers was so difficult.

Little Ye Tian thought of the scene just a moment ago. You guys dont even remember her
bands name. Then she continued to stare at Nanas stage costume. It was too cool. It made her
want to try dressing up.

Ye Cang saw Little Ye Tians look of worship, and couldnt help smiling. He pet her head and
said: Little Tian, shes just in some unknown, non-mainstream band. By all means, dont learn
from her~

F**k! Im right here! Wu Na roared. Blue veins throbbed on her forehead. She then sighed
deeply telling herself to not fall to his level. During summer vacation, the college will be
investing in us and asked us to perform a small concert. There will be about 500 people. Ive
already invited flasher uncle to participate. You guys have to remember to come!

Mm! Nana, Ill definitely come cheer for you!! Lin Le said while stuffing food into his mouth.
It was as if he was afraid of starving. Zhang ZhengXiong was the same. He made an ILY1 hand
sign and said: Ill definitely support you!

Ye Cang sighed deeply and said with a bit of a sob: The day has finally come.

Slap~!

Wu Na reached out and slapped the back of his head. You too!!

I know. Ye Cang sighed. He had been slapped on the head while he was eating. He thought of
her songs. 9 out of 10 verses, if they werent cursing people, they were defaming the federal
government by calling them weak and untrustworthy, or they were singing about some lowlife
guys and s**tty girls. Basically it was dark and cynical.

Ye Cang looked towards his share of food, then gulped his saliva. Little Ye Tian also pulled
apart her chopsticks with shaking hands. The two ate, appearing to be eating lightly, but food
was vanishing from their plate.

Wu Na saw that Little Ye Tian had also become a starving ghost, and she became thoroughly
confused. What exactly is happening to them in Really New Village? Was there some sort of
food shortage!? But what did a food shortage in a game have to do with reality? She shook her
head and looked at Little Ye Tians acting like a little refugee. She smiled bitterly. If others
didnt know, theyd think we were mistreating her, not giving her any food.
Chapter 101: Hunter Yak
After they finished their meal, they leaned back in their chairs feeling satisfied. Zhang
ZhengXiong stretched lazily, and suddenly recalled the hot spring in the volcano. Bro, I
suddenly feel like going to a hot spring

Lin Le fiercely nodded his head. Me too. Me too.

Ye Cang faintly smiled. Really what do I do with you guys. Lets just go on our rest days.
Well go to a seaside, outdoor hot spring inn. Since weve made so much money, we should
enjoy it.

Really? Awesome, I also want to relax. Wu Na said happily.

Little Ye Tian didnt know how bathing in a hot spring felt; she only knew that it was effective at
recovering from fatigue, as well as how its formed, and its molecular composition. However,
she also nodded and smiled like everyone else. They all think its really comfortable, then it
should be really good.

Ill book an inn, since you guys wouldnt know which ones are good! Wu Na quickly took out
her cell phone and began fiddling with it.

Ye Cang couldnt help smiling. Lets go continue our quest. They should be waiting.

The four of them returned to the mine, and saw everyone had already arrived. Ye Cang nodded
gratefully. Sorry for keeping you

ThornyRose ground her teeth. As long as you know!! We had to wait for over an hour for you
guys to eat!! She immediately took a deep breath, put on a smile, and took out a mahjong1 table.
No problem, we have to wait a while longer anyways. Since were all here, lets play a few
rounds.

ThornyRose sneered in her heart. When this lady was in the imperial campus, I was even a match
for those black bellied woman. Today I want you to bleed!!

Ye Cang pondered, then looked towards Lin Le. Lele, go play a few rounds with them.

ThornyRose thought to herself, he wasnt going to play personally? Naturally, if it was Ye Tian,
she would have immediately rejected. That little girls calculation ability was too strong. Just
after a few tiles, she would have already predicted everyones hands.

NalanMoon was also rather eager to play. SpyingBlade slowly walked over to watch.

The four of them rolled the dice, and Lin Le became dealer. ThornyRose looked at Lin Les
foolish expression, and she felt a bit troubled. Lele, its not that this sister is cruel. Its just that
that Brother LilWhite of yours owes me too much. Today, Ill have him spit out blood!!
FrozenBlood waited patiently for her turn. NalanMoons expression was as if she was facing a
nemesis. ThornyRose was really good at Mahjong, she had already experienced it before.
However, she herself was not bad.

The big battle could begin at any moment.

At this time, Lin Le drew a tile, and directly revealed his hand. Heavenly Hand2. 13 Orphans3.
Pay up. Pay up. How much are we playing for?

Everyone froze. ThornyRose who was reaching for a tile, also froze. Her hand stopped in midair.
Looking at that dazzling hand: 1 of Characters, 9 of Characters, 1 of Bamboo (Bird), 9 of
Bamboo, 1 of Dots, 9 of Dots, East, South, West, North, Red Dragon, Green Dragon, White
Dragon. Everyone couldnt help but stare.

The spectating FrozenCloud and SpyingBlade were also stunned. Instant kill? That insta-kill
would lose them a fortune.

Ye Cang sneered. Crazy old lady, plotting against me? At the elders activity center, Lele won
the gold medal and is called The Divine Little Bird. Those old grandpas and grandmas, fathers
and wives, all become terror stricken when he appears. The moment they hear Lele enter, the
entire activity center will be empty within 3 seconds. Hes even been blacklisted by every casino.
He sighed, those were some of his moneymaking schemes.

ThornyRose and the others heard his question and looked at his innocent smile. They felt like
they heard a tender sneer saying: Humph! Just this bit of ability and you want to cheat me of my
money!? Ill make you lose to death!

Cough~ Cough~ Lele, were not playing for money. Moreover, gambling is against the law~
ThornyRose quickly put away the mahjong table. You want to count f**king money? Just 1
copper per point and Id lose my entire family fortune. Heavenly Hand + Thirteen Orphans! In
her mind, she banned him from both rolling and playing mahjong.

FrozenBlood also quickly got up and pretended to not know anything. NalanMoon returned from
her daze, and said earnestly. No more. Lets just wait for the mayor to come over.

FrozenCloud at the side rolled her eyes. Trying to change the subject?

So were not playing for money, then theres no point. Lin Le pouted and got up. He looked at
the three girls and complained. Everyone looked at Lin Le. It seems the Dice alien had a bad
temper when playing mahjong.

Everyone began to chat. SpyingBlade leaned against the mine wall and rested.

Mar brought a few soldiers as well as the guard and arrived. There was also an old man that
seemed to be a hunter. Although they were still distant, but he seemed strict and his steps were
steady.
Ye Cang welcomed them, and reported the situation again.

Mar nodded, and introduced the old hunter beside him. Youngsters, this is our Really New
Villages old hunter - Yak. He was also a great hero who helped to expel the werewolves.

Sir Mayor, your words are too much. Your father is the real hero. He lead us to expel the
werewolves, I simply contributed my strength. The old hunter - Yak sized up Ye Cang. He has
a heavy longbow, so his arm strength isnt bad. A good seedling. He smiled and nodded. This
should be the one you were talking about, the young man that helped establish the alliance
between Really New Village and the Blue Scaled Fishmen.

Mar nodded proudly.

Uncle Yak, Im also simple contributing my strength. Ye Cang said, noticing they were being
polite to him.

Yak looked at Ye Cang with even more admiration.

Ok, bring us to have a look! Mar said, patting Ye Cangs shoulder. He gave some orders and
had the guards as well as ThornyRose and the others wait outside, only bringing in Ye Cang,
Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le.

ThornyRose sighed. Hah~ That guy is taking the main role again.

Afterall, he is the initiator, as well as Really New Villages director. Although we helped him
establish the alliance between Really New Village and the Fishmen, weve already received
enough reward. SpyingBlade shrugged.

Ye Cang brought Mar and the others to the sinkhole. One after another, the climbed down, and
saw the purple crystals and the rock lizard eggs. Yak examined the area in detail, then stood up
and looked at the surroundings. After groping around everywhere, he said: Its something left
behind by that disgusting cultist. Its good that we found it on time, otherwise if these eggs
hatched and they continued to multiply, they would have become a threat to Really New
Village.

Cultist? Ye Cang asked confused.

Mm. Tens of years ago, a wicked mage appeared in the village. He was discovered by my
father, executed, and buried in the cemetery. The wolf gods corruption could have something to
do with him. Perhaps we didnt deal with it in time, or perhaps we missed something, but that
bastard became a spirit, and occupied the cemetery. Hes waking our ancestors from their eternal
slumber, but they cant leave the cemetery. Thats why, weve been cremating our deceased ever
since. Mar slowly explained. He then looked at Yak. Do we have to destroy it?

No need, this place is no longer a threat to us. In fact, it could aid us. That guy failed to finish
spreading the corruption before being slain by the previous mayor. These eggs, we can probably
raise and tame them. However, they wont be as fast as the werewolves, and well have to stop
all work in the mines. Itll become a domesticated hatchery. Yaq smiled, wrinkling his face.

Mar slowly nodded. As the mayor, he had to consider not only Really New Villages present, but
also its future. If they succeeded in taming rock lizards, it could play a big role in the future.

1: Mahjong - A game where you compete to build the best valid hand first.

2: Heavenly Hand: Winning on the first turn which gives you max points.

3: 13 Orphans: A rare hand which also gives you max points.

Chapter 102: Taming the Beasts
Ok, then Ill leave this place to you. Mar looked at old Yak and said seriously.

Yaks wrinkled face smiled and he nodded. Rest assured, I have my methods. My family has
experience taming rock lizards. Once the eggs are hatched, it only become easier.

Mar now had a plan in his mind. He looked at Ye Cang gratefully. You have contributed again
to Really New Village. This is a reward for the three of you.

Congratulations. Youve completed the hidden quest Really New Villages Future - Rock
Lizard Hatchery Plan. Received 950 experience, 10 gold coins, 3 gold bars, and a rare class
exclusive skill.

Congratulations. Youve received the class skill - Swift Retreat (Knight - Rare): Removes stun,
slow, taunt, mind and affecting status effects; and raise your speed by 30% for 15 seconds. Cost:
None. Cooldown: 30 minutes.

Lin Le obtained the arms dealers skill - Power of Money (Rare - Beginner Level): Sacrifice a
gold coin to gain a +8 Strength, +4 Attack, +5 Defence, +5 Constitution, +10% All Speed (Both
movement and attack) buff that lasts 1 minute. Can only stack once, no cooldown. Consumes: 1
gold coin.

Zhang ZhengXiong almost couldnt hold back his cursing. He looked at his skill, which was
another damn aura, and felt extremely gloomy. I, your father, want an active killing skill! I want
to kill people! Kill! Damn System, !@#$!@. Can you not understand me? He sighed deeply,
his skill was - Advanced Aura Control (Super Rare - Beginner Level): You can now
simultaneously have 4 different auras active at the same time. All auras now gain adjustments
based on your attributes.

Zhang ZhengXiong looked at his two auras. His Aura of Vigor had increased to +5 Constitution
and +4 Wisdom. As for his Aura of Protection, the physique bonus became +9 Constitution; and
the other bonuses increased to +8 Defence and +9 Spell Focus. His constitution rose by quite a
bit.

Zhang ZhengXiong thought of it, and felt a bit better. He had no idea that his own auras were
something people would madly scramble over each other to obtain. Who wouldnt want to gain
14 extra constitution, which was an entire 42 health. It would probably even double the
constitution of some light armored players.

Ok, Ill go and reward your men. Mar smiled and patted Ye Cangs shoulder. He directly left,
leaving the other 4 in the room.

Yak looked at Ye Cang who was still basking in the happiness of obtaining a life-saving skill.
Do you want to learn to tame wild animals?
Ye Cang froze, then immediately began nodding. I do!

In order to avoid arousing Yaks suspicion, Zhang ZhengXiong pulled Lin Le to the side, and
began counting the number of eggs.

Yak taught most of his knowledge as well as shared his experiences: such as when to attempt to
catch them, and how to teach and evolve different beasts. It took up several hours.

Congratulations. Youve received the common skill - Yaks Beast Taming Theory (Super Rare -
Beginner Level) (Can Evolve): Has a chance to tame a creature born from an egg. Has a small
chance to tame a creature near death.

Good kid, your comprehensive ability is not bad. Im too old for it, but you should leave this
town in the future. As a young adventurer, this little town is much too small. Yak said with a bit
of a sob. His whole life had been dedicated to this town, and now he had finally found an
adventurer that could complete his dream of travelling the continent for him.

Teacher, thank you for your guidance. Ye Cang bowed respectfully. This man reminded him
of his grandmother before she died.

Little White, dont cry. Grandma is old. In the future, you will face many decisions and meet
many people. You have to take good care of those by your side, got it? You must help others,
and become a kind-hearted person. Just like your hair, you must be pure and without guilt.
Grandma has to go

The powerless hand that was stroking his little cheek, sorrowfully fell, leaving behind a little Ye
Cang who was trying his best to hold back his tears. He clenched his teeth and blood flowed
from the corner of his mouth.

Grandma, I got it. Im not a good person, because my hands are stained by blood, but I will
always protect those by my side. I wont let anyone hurt them. Ye Cang slowly got up and stood
straight. His expression resolute.

Good, you guys can go. Say hello to Rica for me. Yak smiled brightly at them and waved his
hand.

Ye Cang suddenly raised his brows, suspicious. He knows granny Rica? Could he be her lover!?
They all had strange expressions as they looked at Yak. It turns out he was that sort of person

Yak saw the threes strange expressions, and his face turned red. He quickly shouted at them.
Cough~ Cough~ What are you thinking of! Shes my sister in law.
Eeeh~ Sister in law~ Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong both began thinking of Lin Les
girlfriend, then made a knowing expression. Lin Le didnt get it, so he just nodded along with the
other two. Eeeh~ Sister in law~

You three little bastards! Yak roared angrily at the three. Ye Cang quickly brought the other
two and made their escape. Watching the backs of the three as they left, he murmured: Those
three stinking kids Hah~.

Yak slowly took out a blood handkerchief. Why did the wolf god pick you His mind flashed
back to that time when he had, in high spirit, killed those black werewolves. When it returned to
its original form, it turned out to be his own wife. At the time, he was completely at a loss. His
wife had been killed by his own arrow. His eyes reflected an endless sorrow and his old tears
slowly dripped down his face, as he gripped the handkerchief tightly.

On the way back, Ye Cang had the other two show him their skills. AXiongs auras are
becoming awesome. Damn, it gives so much constitution. Leles Mm, the effects are strong, but
it was a bit expensive. It would be enough to save it for bosses. He looked at Lele. Later, go get
some gold from Little Tian. Use your Power of Money skill only when its necessary.

Lele is pretty good at grasping opportunities. As for not injuring his team-mates, we can only
pray.

I got it. Brother LilWhite, heres the gold bars from before. Lin Le said, taking out his
belongings.

Wait, give it to Little Tian later. Shes our treasurer. Shell be in charge of all our spendings.
Ye Cang wrapped an arm around Lin Le and Zhang ZhengXiong, and said.

Bro, the college contacted me. They want us to attend some sort of meeting or whatever. They
want me to meet those islanders, and beat them up a little at some kendo or martial arts or
something. Zhang ZhengXiong said, recalling the message.

Ok, bring it. Lin Le said, jumping for joy; even though he was only there to cheer them on.

Alright, well go check it out. Ye Cang faintly smiled.

Chapter 103: Mithril Rapier
ThornyRose and the others also received 5 gold, 1 gold bar, and a skill as a reward; which made
them all happy. But after waiting for a few hours, their mood began to sour again, and at the
same time, they became curious. What were those guys up to?

Three silhouettes finally appeared from in the cave.

What were you doing inside? ThornyRose couldnt hold back her curiosity and inquired..

Counting eggs! Lin Le happily replied.

Everyone simultaneously sighed. Ye Cang indifferently said. Not much, we were just
consulting about some stuff. This place will be Really New Villages Rock Lizard hatchery in
the future.

Mar had already long run off, rushing to have have some fun with his wife, so he didnt tell the
others.

Everyone had their own ideas, but it was agreed that they should pay more attention to this place
in the future.

Lets go hand in the quest that the old blacksmith gave us. NalanMoon reminded.

Ye Cang slowly nodded. Lets go.

Everyone made their way back to Really New Village in the dark. Perhaps it was because the
mayors group had cleared the way not long ago, but they didnt experience a single attack,
which saved them a lot of time on the way back.

Really New Village, at the smithy.

Old man Wales took measurements of ThornyRose and the others to make them a masterwork
quality armor or weapon. Everyone was extremely happy.

Ye Cangs group of five had to wait a while, because forging took a lot of old Wales strength,
so he needed to drink some water and rest for an hour.

You all can go ahead since theres nothing else to do. If anything comes up, Ill notify you. Ye
Cang had Zhang ZhengXiong borrow the furnace and begin smelting all the ores they found. He
looked at Zhang ZhengXiong who was bare to the waist, and was working by the fire, glistening
in sweat. Then he turned to look at ThornyRose, NalanMoon and the others.

SpyingBlade nodded, and then disappeared into the night.

ThornyRose squinted her eyes. This kid couldnt be cheating us again, could he? But thinking it
over, she decided it was fine. She had FrozenCloud watching over them anyways. Ok, were
going back to leveling up.

After she spoke, she brought FrozenBlood and GreenDew with her to leave.

NalanMoon saw that everyone had left, then blinked her pretty eyes while looking at Ye Cang.
Are you interested in joining the Freedom Alliance? With your strength

Ye Cang indifferently smiled and interrupted her. His silver eyes flickered under the light of the
flames. We have our own guild, so we can only thank you for your good intentions.

Although his tone was unyielding, it gave others a feeling of being as free as the wind and as
light as carefree as the clouds.

NalanMoon froze. Their own guild? Thats fine too. She turned to slowly leave.

Lele, that womans boobs are at least a C right? Zhang ZhengXiong continued working while
staring at NalanMoons wonderful figure and perky butt.

No way, only B+. Theyre really small Lin Le shrugged as he sat on his handcart and
counted the ten or so gold coins that Little Ye Tian had given him.

Ye Cang saw that NalanMoon, who hadnt gone far yet, almost trip. Then it looked like she was
taking deep breathes, and she quickly left.

FrozenCloud found it both funny and embarrassing. Looking behind her, she thought if youre
going to gossip, at least do it when theyre not around

How many gold and silver ores did we get? Ye Cang inquired leisurely.

I dont know, there should be a few. Zhang ZhengXiong replied uncertainly.

Slap~

Ye Cang slapped the back of his head. You idiot little brother. Ignore the others for now and
smelt the valuable stuff into bars and ingots.

Oh, I got it. Zhang ZhengXiong responded vaguely while rubbing the back of his head. Then
began smelting the gold and silver.

FrozenCloud couldnt help sighing. It turned out you could get rich from mining too. If they
managed to get some gold or silver, it could be smelted into currency. Should I tell my sisters?
Struggling over it a bit, she decided to just let it pass.
Finally, Zhang ZhengXiong had made 2 gold ingots, and many silver ingots. Theres only this
much.

Only!? 2 gold ingot and so many silver ingots, yet you say only!? FrozenCloud roared in her
heart. Moreover, all the gold ore near the surface were dug up by them. If they went again, they
wouldnt gain much.

Little Ye Tian took the gold and silver ingots, and put them in her bag. She then sat down on the
table, looking like she was doing homework. Except she was doing the partys book-keeping and
planning their future expenses. Even FrozenCloud couldnt make much sense of the stuff she
was writing down. It was normal accounting? What is she doing? It looks like the heavenly book,
something out of this world.

Soon, old Wales returned with a long and slender straight sword for Ye Cang. He even added
some mithril from his secret stash. Although the sword was only as wide as a thumb, it was
140cm long. The hilt and handle took up about 30 cm of that. It looked like a western sword, but
was much longer.

Mithril Rapier (Masterwork - Created)

Category: One or Two handed sword (Can be either)

Requirements: 25 Strength, 30 Dexterity

Damage: 15 - 17

+4 Strength

+5 Dexterity

+7 Thrust Speed

+5 Penetration

Long Rapier - Pierce (Passive): Piercing attacks deal an additional 25% damage, and have a
chance to pierce past the target.

Ye Cang grabbed it and began a series of thrusts. His straight thrusts were even faster than
before. Satisfied, he threw his old Curses Thorn into the handcart. He then easily sheathed the
mithril rapier onto his back.

FrozenCloud watched those dazzling thrusts. Team Leader is now invincible in both close and
long range. Hes like a sniper with his heavy longbow, and now with that sword, he doesnt have
to fear anyone in melee. If they fought, first shed have to deal with those rapid arrows and
magic, and when she closed in, shed have to deal with those dazzling thrusts. Just thinking
about it made her head hurt.
Next to come out was Lin Les thick shoulder plate. It had two layers and was inlaid with silver.
It gave a whole 5 strength, and came with a tackling skill. Now if you looked at him, he wore a
heavy shoulder plate, oversized gauntlets, and a huge anti-cavalry saber. There was no doubt that
one hit from him could end a life.

Old Wales looked at Zhang ZhengXiongs crystal shield. Ive had my suspicions from the first
time I saw it, but it really is a shield made from crystal slime. Youre now a blacksmith, come try
smelting some precious stones and some crystal together. Slime crystal will mix with the ores
and become extremely tough. Ill gift your this piece of marble to try.

Zhang ZhengXiong doubtfully took it. The he suddenly took a big step back. This old man is so
generous!? He looked at the milky mineral in his hand, and examined it. Seeing nothing odd
about it, he sighed in relief.

Ill personally guide you. Old Wales said with a smile, then dragged away Zhang ZhengXiong
who had just dropped his guard.

Bro, save me! Zhang ZhengXiong struggled, but couldnt get away. Ye Cang thought, this old
man must be a hidden boss. He watched as he guided Zhang ZhengXiong with great care. If he
made a mistake, he would get roasted and burned. It was a perfect example of being a strict
teacher to produce a brilliant student

Little Ye Tian hid behind Ye Cang, holding on tightly to his feathered robe. This old man is a
pervert! Lin Le also turned away and curled up with his head down. His ahoge faintly trembling.
FrozenCloud trembled as she brought the curled up Lin Le with her, and shifted a bit closer to
Ye Cang. As for the teams backbone, Ye Cang, he brought everyone to slowly backed away.
Good thing I learned cooking. AXiong, its not that brother doesnt want to save you, but this is
all for your own good. He sighed and looked away.
Chapter 104: Rich Mans Shield
Ok, the rest you can handle yourself. See what precious stones and crystals you have that would
fit you. Old Wales said, having had his fill of abusing Zhang ZhengXiong. He appeared
invigorated as he sat on his chair, arms crossed.

Zhang ZhengXiong wanted to cry, but had no more tears. He looked at the crystal shield and the
marble slowly melting into each other. His heart ached recalled how much of a nightmare its
been being professional gamers

To vent his anger, he dumped all the crystals and precious stones in his bag into the mixture. Old
Wales quickly got up, wanting to stop him, but he was too late. A myriad of crystals and gems
jumbled together chaotically in the mixture. They began to melt into the crystal shield, releasing
majestic rays of extremely clear, multi-colored light.

Such a waste Old Wales looked at the shield. It was a monstrosity born from tens of
different crystals and precious stones. Putting it all into a shield it would have been better to
just sell them all.

Congratulations. Youve forge an Distinguished quality equipment. Please give it a name.

Looking at the shield shining in many brilliant colors, Zhang ZhengXiong murmured
Resplendent.

Resplendent (Distinguished - Slime)

Category: ?? Shield

Requirements: 50 Strength, 30 Wisdom

+4 All Attributes

+13 Defence

+5% Stun Resistance

+5% Will

+5% Chance to completely resist control effects

Automatic repair.

Resplendent (Passive): While holding the shield, gain +10% all attributes, incoming damage
reduced by 10%, +6 defence, and will deal 5 points of elemental damage to any melee attackers.
Rainbow (Active): Activate to emit rainbow colored light from the shield. Enemies in front have
a chance to receive one of: confused, stunned, dazed, nauseated, or some other half-conscious
state, and deal 20 20 elemental damage. Cooldown: 5 minutes.

Ye Cang looked at the shield and froze. The effects were abnormal, it could even compare to his
ring. It had a monstrous 19 defence! It not only added +4 to all stats, but even added an
additional 10%. It even gave 10% damage resistance, along with stun resistance and will.
However, it had that massive 50 constitution requirement that would make it unwearable for
most people. Fortunately Zhang ZhengXiong was a constitution focused priest. 50 wasnt much
to him. Even 60 wouldnt have been doable. It was pretty much a shield made just for him. As
for its external appearance, it made all their other equipment look like country bumpkins. It was
too dazzling.

Zhang ZhengXiong slowly picked up the shield, and gently ran his hand over its surface. It had
a beautiful surface made of many gems and minerals. It was too beautiful to use as a shield.

Too wasteful, looking at it makes my hairs stand on end Old Wales sighed. So many f**king
precious stones and gems went into this shield. Its material value is actually worth more than
the final product. Its too much. Just take some black-iron and slime crystal, and you can make a
heavy shield. Then add a few gems and precious stones to decorate it a bit, its defence wouldnt
lose to this toy. But as this kids very first creation, it could be considered a masterpiece.
Thinking that, he just smiled and didnt say more.

Brother LilXiong, let me touch it~ Lin Le quickly ran over. He looked like a little kid who
was jealous of someone elses toy.

Move aside. Earlier when I was being thrashed, you just stood there. Zhang ZhengXiong
shouted unhappily.

Let me see~~ Let me see~~ Lin Le whipped his ahoge around and threw a tantrum. Zhang
ZhengXiong helplessly handed it to him. What do I do with you here, go play. You have to
return it to me later

After handing it over, he began to feel like this scene was really familiar. Rainbow lights flashed,
and the room was filled with brilliant colors. Everyone was inflicted with confusion.

Seeing everyone gnashing their teeth and glaring at him, Lin Le passed the shield back to Zhang
ZhengXiong. He then rubbed his head and said innocently. How was I supposed to know it
would do that? Ive given it back.

Ok, its LilDinos turn. Ye Cang said, hinting FrozenCloud to make her order.

FrozenCloud told Old Wales her idea, and he sat by the fire and began smithing. A pair of
different sized T shaped rods were formed. After polishing it and wrapping the handle in leather,
a big and a small, engraved tonfas were created.
FrozenCloud look at the stats, satisfied. She took the bigger one in her left hand.

Mithril Tonfa - Left (Masterwork - Created)

Category: Tonfa

Requirements: 35 Strength, 35 Constitution

Damage: 11 - 13

+8 Defence

+4 Strength

+4 Constitution

+3% chance to block damage

Her right hand reached towards the smaller, but more agile tonfa.

+4 Strength

+4 Dexterity

Sudden Elbow Strike: Perform a very sudden and fierce attack, dealing 165% damage with a
chance to stun or knock back. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

FrozenCloud swapped out her black-iron tonfa and her other one, which wasnt that good, and
equipped her new masterwork tonfas. Both her killing power and defensive power increased. Her
left tonfa for defence, her right one for attack, complementing each other. She tested them out a
bit, performing a few jabs and strikes, and was very satisfied. It would do, at least for now.
Finally it was Little Ye Tians turn. Old Wales had a headache with this one. Mage equipment
is more expensive. Earlier, after making light armor for that spellcaster girl, Im a bit low on
materials. Moreover, wands and staffs, we blacksmiths have no way of making them. But since
little lady is a paladin, I can make one for you. Paladins dont have to be dressed lightly in order
to cast spells. I can make a magic tool for you using some sort of silver, and itll be able to
increase the effects of your wisdom and holy spells.

Little Ye Tian looked at Ye Cang, should she spend on herself? Ye Cang faintly smiled. For
sure. Dont hesitate, if you want it then make your own decision. Youre our little treasurer

Ye Tian felt moved. She calculated and then took out 10 silver ingots. This was worth 10 gold
coins. Old Wales took the silver ingots, and took out the little mithril he had left in his stash. He
smelted the silver, and a staff started to slowly take shape. At the top of the staff was a groove.
The whole thing appeared fairly simple and practical.

Looking at the staff that was still taking shape, Ye Cang remembered that he had a few things
that could be useful. He took out the fluorescent slimes crystalline eye, the fluorescent gland,
and some crystals from monsters they had killed. Can these things be of some use?

Fluorescent slime! Good stuff! Its really fitting for light attribute priests! I dont need the rest.
Old Wales looked at the things Ye Cang took out, and quickly took the fluorescent slimes eye
and gland. He inserted the gland around the groove at the top of the staff. The staff was nearing
completion.

Its not enough. To speak the truth, Im not good at staffs. I can only get it to this stage.
Moreover, I have no holy power, so I cant insert magic into it to baptize it. Old Wales spoke
till here and put the fluorescent slimes crystalline eye into the groove at the top along with the
gland. He then held it up to the excited Little Ye Tian and urged. Little lady, hurry and use holy
magic on it. Whatever is fine!
Chapter 105: Eye of the Fluorescent Slime
Little Ye Tian took the metal staff that was over a meter long, and quickly cast a holy shield.
Holy power flowed along the grooves carved in the staff. It looked like veins, carrying the magic
towards the fluorescent slime eye. The milky white light became stronger and stronger. Finally,
it settled down. Everyone looked and saw the eye as before, emitting a faint light. From time to
time, they thought they could see it looking around.

Eye of the Fluorescent Slime (Distinguished - Rare)

Category: Silver Staff

Requirements: 20 Intelligence, 25 Wisdom, Holy Class

Damage: 9 - 10

+7 Intelligence

+7 Wisdom

+5% Casting Speed

+9 Spell Power for Light Element Spells

Light Effect (On / Off)

Shield of Light: Immediately surround all allies in range with a shield of light that absorbs 40
damage for 15 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes.

Flash: Activate to deal 25 light damage to enemies in front. Has a chance to cause blind status
affect. Cooldown: 15 minutes.

That eye shouldnt be alive right? Zhang ZhengXiong reached out and poked the eye on the
top of the staff.

Slimes are very tough creatures. It is currently in a state just before death. Before it received
the light magic, it was in a hibernation like state. The more experienced old Wales explained.
Little Ye Tian lovingly looked at the silver staff that would flicker with light.

FrozenCloud was shocked. They actually got two pieces of Distinguished equipment. These
should be impossible to get at this point in the game. That team-wide damage prevention, it was
really really useful. It could be used to save the entire parties lives, and could be incorporated
into many tactics. Who would have thought that the one with the best weapon in the team would
be the newest member. The paladin whose level was only level 7 - Little Tian.
I noticed that you had some fire crystals, sonic crystals, and some others. You can use these on
a weapon for a chance of gaining a special effect. Let me see the mithril rapier. Old Wales took
one of Ye Cangs sonic crystals, smelted it, and embedded it in the handle of the sword. Then he
smiled and handed it back. Try it now.

Ye Cang took back the mithril rapier, and saw that the stats had increased by 2 Dexterity, and 3
thrust speed. There was even an extra special effect.

Sonic Resonance - Minor: Every attack has a chance to resonate with the sonic crystal, ignoring
10 amor.

The flame crystal was socketed into Lin Les anti-cavalry blade. The original dark blade was
covered in a faint red light. It gained +2 Strength, an additional 3 - 5 fire damage, and its
additional effect was that after activation, the next attack would deal an additional 30 fire
damage, with a cooldown of 15 minutes.

Little Ye Tians weapon couldnt be socketed with a crystal, so they saved the magic crystal. Ye
Cang pondered and thought that Nana could use it, so he put it away. The earth crystal they got
from one of the rock lizards was socketed into FrozenClouds left tonfa. This time, the tonfas
color grew darker. It gained +2 Constitution, +4 Defence, and the special effect was a blessing
that reduced the damage from the next three attacks that it blocks by 6.

The crystals effects were really good. FrozenCloud also understood that once others learned of
this effect, they would be in very high in demand, because they were too rare. They only had a
chance to drop from bosses. Moreover, not every boss could drop one, and it required a skill that
could harvest the corpses. Then it needed to be forged before inserting. It was only small crystals
yet it increased the stats by so much. She couldnt even imagine what those rarer crystals that
could appear in the future would do. There sure were many new changes compared to the last
game.

Aah~ Im getting old, I cant stay up any longer. Youre welcome to keep using the furnace.
Im going to bed. You stinking kid, I just taught you so many things. You better remember
them! Old Wales said with a yawn.

I remember! I remember! Crystal Inlaying, creating metal staffs, I remember it all!! Zhang
ZhengXiong quickly noded. F**k, if I said otherwise, this pervert will want to torment me again.

Sorry for the trouble, uncle Wales. Ye Cang thanked. Wales smiled and waved as he went up
the stairs to sleep.

Zhang ZhengXiong continued to smelt his giant pile of ore. He threw in black-iron and fine iron
together, and under his audacious attempt, he learned to smelt black steel. If old Wales was
present, he would lost his voice in astonishment. Black steel was an alloy that even he couldnt
make. It used black-iron and fine iron as materials, but the temperature needed to be controlled
precisely. Only after passing through a series of complicated procedures, and with the help of a
blacksmiths peerless physical strength, would black steel finally be forged. Being able to forge
black steel was a sign of a talented smith.

Meanwhile, under Ye Cangs and Lin Les urging, FrozenCloud sacrificed her dignity again to
act as the handcart showgirl. Since Zhang ZhengXiong was working on his big smelting project,
Little Ye Tian took over his job and beat the gong. She, who didnt know anything about the
world, wasnt embarrassed at all. Instead, she energetically smacked her little round shield. She
was also in charge of receiving money, and bargaining. Lin Le was the guard, his job was to look
intimidating with his giant glowing red blade. He would deter anyone who wanted to come cause
trouble. Finally, Ye Cang stood beside FrozenCloud and slowly brainwashed her.

The players on the street looked jealously at the partys equipment.

Lets gather a few people and kill them?

Kill your mother! That white haired one is our Really New Villages Diplomat Hero! Last time,
in the tavern, I saw Goddess NalanMoon from the Freedom Alliance. You know the Freedom
Alliance right?

What?

That guy with the giant sword. Tsk~ Tsk~ There were some words that he didnt like, and he
directly brandished his giant axe, and was about to kill NalanMoon and the others. Now thats a
real man!

But the white haired one is the boss. I saw it, that imposing style, that character, hes definitely
some tyrant. Even that handcart girl is his personal servant. Just a few words and he had both the
Freedom Alliance and Thorns and Roses angered. At the time, the Freedom Alliance, drew their
blade, and then guess what happened!?

What?

You bastard! Didnt you say you were there!?

I didnt order anything, so got kicked out by the boss.

Pitiful!

At that time, the Really New Village guards, and the fishmen warriors, all got up and drew their
weapons at the Freedom Alliance. Especially those fishmen, they were really indignant. They
were this close to stabbing out with their pikes.

So awesome!?
No kidding. Hes Really New Villages Diplomat Hero. Do you not see all the guards saluting
him? Do you still dare to go kill them for their equipment!? Those fishmen and guards will all
slaughter you!

To be fair, the items theyre selling are top quality. If it were a large guild, they would have
kept it for their own people, yet this white haired bro chose to sell it to us strangers. Although
none of us can afford it, and most of it are bought by rich and handsome men, or fair skinned
beauties anyways. But hes still treats us random players fairly. Hes not a dog of those big
guilds!

Indeed, so praiseworthy! Im going to go ask if theres anything I can buy for 5 silver.

5 silver, youd be lucky if they even gave you a glance! Go die somewhere far away, damn
peasant. Handcart Goddess!! I have 1 gold! Do you have anything good?
Chapter 106: Disagreement
FrozenCloud heard many people calling her Handcart Sister, Handcart Miss, and even
Handcart Goddess, which caused the veins on her forehead to endlessly throb. Her fake smile
was reaching its limit as she continued pushing the cart.

Superior quality weapon!! Its a weapon for grapplers! Just 7 gold! Theres also an Excellent
quality two-handed sword for 4 gold! As expected of the handcart goddess, shes got good stuff.

CloudDragon had just brought YellowSprings and a few other core members back to town. They
passed through the trade district, and saw the huge crowd. YellowSprings couldnt withstand his
curiosity, so he went over to have a look. The players all let him through, looking at him with
eyes full of reverence. He was Mad Wars core attacker - The Smiling Murderer -
YellowSprings. They watched with sparking eyes. Even the Fighting King was here! Everyone,
including those who didnt know what was going on, opened a path for the people from Mad
War.

Isnt that the white haired knight? Really New Villages Diplomat Hero. I told you we should
have invited them into the guild at that time. Who knows if Thorns and Roses has already
snached them or not. YellowSprings turned back and said with a smile as he walked.

FrozenCloud sensed a disturbance from that side, and looked over. YellowSprings!? BlackIce,
VastSea, and even the Fighting King! Mad Wars four heavenly kings are all here! Her eyebrows
furrowed into a frown. Ye Cang lazily looked over at the people approaching. He continued
acting frivolously, and crossed his arms without saying a word. His gaze landed on
CloudDragon, and CloudDragon looked back. The two of them stared off, one as free as the
wind, and the other with a heroic presence.

This guy. CloudDragon looked at Ye Cangs indifferent eyes, and smiled coldly. The two still
didnt say a word. Ye Cang faintly smiled. He turned and rubbed Little Ye Tians head, choosing
to ignore him.

Its Frozen YellowSprings wanted to greet her, causing her to panic. She quickly interrupted
him. Buying anything?

BlackIce, the purple haired spellcaster, saw the staff on Little Ye Tians back. Comparing her
own staff to that one, they werent even on the same level. She lightly sighed. Little girl, will
you sell your staff?

Aunty, Im going to use it myself. You couldnt use it even if you had it, so why should I sell
it to you? Little Ye Tian crossing her arms and said in an indifferent voice, copying Ye Cang.

BlackIce raised her brows. What an interesting girl. I cant use it? So it should be a class
restricted item. Holy class? She smiled and didnt argue. What if I insisted on buying it?
You wouldnt want to do that. Ye Cang said, with an indifferent smile. Everyone felt the
atmosphere rapidly becoming tense. The situation looked like it could explode at any time,
worrying the spectators. As expected of Really New Villages Diplomat Hero, completely
fearless. What they didnt know was that, Ye Cang had no idea what Mad War was.

BlackIce looked at Ye Cangs indifferent smile. What if I want to try it?

Brother LilWhite, this girl is too evil! She wants to bully us? Let me kill her! Lin Le said
righteously, then suddenly stood forwards. He had his two hands on his blade, ready to attack He
activated the flame crystals ability, and the two meter long blade was shrouded in raging flames,
looking extremely domineering.

The spectators watched, stunned. Such domineering, yet cute words. He didnt even converse
and went straight to killing. Such a fierce little guy. They couldnt help recalling a legendary
man, and their rears felt chilly.

BlackIce was inwardly shocked. She was caught unprepared as she completely didnt expect this.
That little fighter was serious! She saw that Lin Le was really preparing to attack. She had to
dodge this strike!! She prepared herself to quickly retreat.

YellowSprings who was beside the handcart also didnt see this coming. It was really too
excessive. He quickly prepared to draw his two-handed sword.

At this time, Lin Les fiery blade swung out, and what used to be a black moon became the red,
blazing mars. It looked beautiful under the moonlight.

Clang~

A black shadow appeared. VastSea blocked it with his shield, but was still knocked flying
countless meters, and slid a few more meters after landing. Such terrifying damage and power. It
was a simple power based playstyle. BlackIce also dodged aside, escaping the deaths clutches.

YellowSprings drew his two-handed sword, and FrozenCloud quickly drew her two tonfas,
cutting him off. If I dont get my hands dirty, how can I face team captain and Lele who both
treat me so well. SisterRose, sorry again. She thought as she attacked YellowSprings who was
charging over.

Lin Le panted heavily from his nose. Where are you running!!

He activated Whirlwind Strike, moving towards BlackIce, who was now in a difficult situation.

All the spectators began to run. If they got hit by this attack, they would be dead for sure! They
wouldnt even have anyone to take revenge on! One side was Mad War, and the other was Really
New Villages Diplomat Hero.
Another shadow flashed over. CloudDragon precisely slipped past Lin Les spin, and his iron
knuckles struck towards his body. If he got hit, his move would be interrupted. Just at this time,
CloudDragon frowned. Not good. He turned his attack into a guard, and blocked an exceptionally
powerful arrow. He sensed the force impacting his knuckles, and faintly smiled. So powerful!!

CloudDragon saw Ye Cang turn into a blur, and charge over. A movement and attack skill? He
already has one? He raised his brows. Interesting! Thisll be fun!! He leaned to dodge Lin Les
second attack. Clang~! He blocked Ye Cangs Dashing Straight Thrust. Ye Cang continued to
look at him with an indifferent smile. Its bad manners interfering with someone elses fight.
Let me be your opponent.

Are you enough? CloudDragon smiled. His knuckles still blocking the thrust.

Well know if we try Ye Cang suddenly leaned and took a step, dodging past
CloudDragons ferocious kick. He brandished his mithril rapier, and performed his straight thrust
combo!

5 silver sword lights stabbed forwards.

Clang~ Clang~ Clang~ Clang~!

CloudDragons heart shook. Such a fast strike! The people who can dodge even three of those
five strikes, could be counted on one hand. Even he himself had let one through. The damage
was also nothing to laugh at. Ye Cang was also astonished. That reaction speed was not any
slower than Zhang ZhengXiong and himself! He could actually block four strikes!

Air Burst! CloudDragon also unleashed his own skill. A wave of air rushed towards Ye Cang,
who felt his chest getting hit and was pushed back.

CloudDragon saw that he was stiff, and struck with a heavy fist. The moment he made contact
with the body, it exploded, becoming a burst of water. Not good! Its a fake He stomped off the
ground, and became a blur, leaping 5 meters back. When he was about 1 meter away, the clones
explosion hit him, but it couldnt deal any significant damage.

CloudDragon landed and looked around. He couldnt find Ye Cangs figure. Stealth? He didnt
pay any attention to Lin Le who was chasing BlackIce with his huge sword. He looked at the
Mad War members around him and said. No one interfere with my fight!

CloudDragon squinted and looked around. If they really came to help, it would become
troublesome, because Really New Villages guards would get involved. There would be no
benefits for either side. Soon the fight would have to end, but against such an interesting guy, I
want to have some fun first. He excitedly gripped his iron knuckles, and lowered his stance.
Chapter 107: Short Battle
On CloudDragons orders, the people that were itching to charge into battle, all retreated, feeling
speechless.

BlackIce felt wronged. She never even had a chance to begin casting a spell. She currently had
no life saving magic, so she was like a scholar fighting a soldier. There was nothing she could do
against that damn guy. Lin Le chased closely behind her roaring. Evil woman! Dont run! Let
me hit you once and were even!!

F**k! What do you mean Let me hit you once and were even, youre the one who attacked
first! Just how short is your temper! So moody! The veins on BlackIces forehead throbbed.

Wherever Lin Le went, the spectators would flee for their lives. There were some Mad War
member who wanted to help BlackIce, but met Lin Les fury and were sent back to the respawn
point. His fury finally filled up! Angry little bull mode, activate! Berserk! His two eyes glowed a
furious red. He killed everyone in his path, making the spectators shiver. None of them dared to
step forwards.

Little Ye Tian wanted to cast some holy magic on the party, but VastSea made his way over. Her
staff flashed. VastSea hadnt expected Little Ye Tian to have a control skill. All he could see was
a vast expanse of whiteness.

Little Ye Tian quickly moved to FrozenClouds back, casting a holy shield and rejuvenate on
her. YellowSprings saw that FrozenCloud got some support and knew things had become
troublesome. VastSea regained his sight, and used charge. Just at this time, a white silhouette
appeared in his path.

VastSea! Careful!! CloudDragon said, running over. He was a bit disappointed that Ye Cang
hadnt taken up his challenge.

VastSea raised his shield and blocked Ye Cangs thrust, but as a result, his charge was
interrupted causing him to stop. Ye Cang didnt give him any chance, immediately tackling with
his shoulder. Then he retreated, activated his shoes speed boost, and ran towards
YellowSprings. His straight thrust combo appeared again. YellowSprings retreated out of
FrozenClouds range and held his sword in front of him to block, however he only managed to
block the first and last thrusts.

Ye Cang couldnt help sighing, amazed at his opponents strength. Even in that sort of situation,
he could still block and save his own life. These guys are all strong. Although that spellcaster
was in a difficult situation, she had yet to be hacked to death by Lele. If they kept fighting,
although he himself had nothing to fear, but it wouldnt end well. He sheathed his mithril rapier.

CloudDragon saw him sheath his sword, and slowly stopped his steps. He sighed and shouted.
Everyone stop!
Lele, come back!! Ye Cang also shouted.

Lin Le had leapt and tackled BlackIce. He finally had her stunned and pinned against a wall. He
had just raised his blade, planning to finish her off, when he heard Ye Cangs call. He pouted and
complained: Bad person, seems your luck is good. My Brother LilWhite is calling me. Bye
bye~~

Lin Le sheathed his blade and left. He didnt forget to make a face at BlackIce and stick his
tongue out at her

BlackIce thought about his final words and that childish face. I was actually chased around the
block by a primary school kid. Her feelings were a mess

Ye Cang saw YellowSprings looking at them with a bad expression, and he faintly smiled. Not
bothering with it, he slowly turned and faced CloudDragon. PaleSnow

CloudDragon CloudDragon stared for a moment, and then exposed a smile. This guy was
qualified to hear his name. He knew that Ye Cangs group were all new players, but did they not
know who he was? It seemed like the didnt even know about Mad War. Such an interesting
knight. Such a accurate and high speed attack. Although they had only crossed swords for a
moment, it seemed like another interesting guy had appeared this season. Next time, Ill get
you.

Ye Cang shrugged and replied indifferently. Next time, It wont only be one thrust

CloudDragon raised his brows, and felt the wound left by that thrust that he couldnt block. The
corners of his mouth raised and he said quietly. Ill be looking forwards to it.

YellowSprings thought back to those sword shadows that had struck him. They were fast and had
crafty trajectories. It was too precise, and with no hints to give away its intentions. If I faced
him, it wouldnt turn out well for me. It looks like becoming the diplomat hero wasnt just due to
luck. He turned and looked towards FrozenCloud, who was still on guard against him, and
showed her an unruly smile. Its not good to look at a customer like that, Handcart Goddess

Eh FrozenCloud was speechless.

Ye Cang and CloudDragon had exchanged names. The spectators could finally relax, seeing the
two big-shots come to an understand.

I couldnt take my eyes off the battle between the Fighting King and Really New Villages
Hero. Although it was short, every move was hair-raising

As expected of Really New Villages Hero, he dares to take on the Fighting King, and even
landed a blow

I smell something tasty. PaleSnow and CloudDragon.

Ill get you. Ill thrust into you. They must have a secret relationship

Eh, the fujoshi1 are here again. But after hearing it, it really does sound like that. Get you
Thrust I like it~~~

One more time! One more time! All the fujoshi began shrieking.

One more time! One more time! All the spectators joined in.

The two of them heard the surroundings getting more and more into matching them up. Both
their faces changed as they roared at the same time. Get lost!!!

The spectators saw that Fighting King and Hero were both angry. It looked like they wouldnt
continue fighting, so they lost interest. The crowd began dispersing, going back to their selling or
shopping.

Leader, come see. The stuff theyre selling is really good. Theres even stuff we need!
YellowSprings said, looking through the things in the handcart. It was really full of all sorts of
things stuffed into a deceptively tiny handcart. They had everything: equipment, food materials,
herbs, precious stones, wood, bones, claws, teeth, etc.

CloudDragon slowly walked over. He glanced at the young lady named FrozenCloud.
FrozenBloods little sister? Cant be, she even managed to delay YellowSprings. He looked and
saw that her equipment was not bad. He looked at her pair of tonfas, and smiled without saying a
word. He then turned his attention to the items in the cart. There really are things we need.

FrozenCloud who was checked out by CloudDragon, felt as if she were naked. She couldnt
bring up any strength to resist. Those heroic eyes were as keen as a falcons. Although they were
both grapplers, she knew there was a huge gap between their skill. Even her sister and Sister
Rose together would have trouble against him.

The monstrous bird bosss claws, beak, and feathers, as well as the rock lizard bosss scales and
the red furred flaming dogs fur. I want them all, how much? CloudDragon looked through and
picked some things. He raised his head and looked at the sales lady FrozenCloud.

TN: Lol, love this crowd.

1: Female fans of romantic relationships between men.

Chapter 108: Wandering the Campus
None of these items had a listed price, so FrozenCloud didnt know what to say. She turned her
head and looked at Ye Cang. Ye Cang also didnt know, so he turned and looked towards Lin Le.
Lin Le stroked his chin and looked towards Little Ye Tian who was already making her
calculations.

Little Ye Tian used the the rarity and the risks involved in acquiring them to rapidly calculate a
price. It only took her a moment to come up with an answer. 30 gold, 20 silver, 15 copper. We
can get rid of the change,so just 30 gold.

CloudDragon frowned. 30 gold wasnt considered expensive, but he didnt have that many gold
coins to waste. The game had just started, so gold was too valuable right now, and there would
be too many uses for it in the future. If he could, he would rather pay in federal dollars. Can we
pay in real money?

FrozenCloud came to Ye Cangs side and whispered: Team Leader, we should agree. Just
consider it buying his friendship.

Ye Cang slowly nodded, what she said made sense. These few people were really strong. If they
fought till the end, it would have been tough without Zheng ZhengXiong around. Even with
Zhang ZhengXiong, and in a 5v4 situation, if they didnt have Lin Le chasing down that mage,
and if both sides fought seriously The chances of his own group winning was only 40%. That
grapplers awareness and strength were extremely high. He was now a guild leader, so he had to
consider the groups interest, in this case, that would be gaining their favor. I really am gifted
leader. He crossed his arms and smiled. Sure. We could be considered friends after fighting,
perhaps we could even cooperate in the future.

We will CloudDragon took the items, paid double the market price in federal dollars, and
then smiled meaningfully. Your quest line and ours will be soon join up. He then brought the
other three as well as the gang and left.

Ye Cang looked at their imposing figures as they left. All the players parted to let them through.
He quickly pulled FrozenCloud over. That Cloud guy and that freedom something guild, whos
stronger?

You dont even know CloudDragon!? FrozenCloud covered her forehead. They attacked
without even know who the other party was. Hes one of chinas top 5 players, known as the
Fighting King. FlameEmperor is no doubt number 1. The rest are Fighting King - CloudDragon,
The Phantom - NalanPureSoul. Then theres the Misty Rain Houses leader, whos also chinas
number 1 goddess - MistyVeil1; as well as LordReigns2 number 1 hired thug, The Tyrant -
LordAsked.

Their nicknames all sound so awesome. Will we have nicknames in the future? Lin Le asked
enviously.
We will Ye Cang said, but didnt really care. He didnt really understand what FrozenCloud
said, and he didnt want to think about it too much. He patted her shoulder. The money just
now, Ill put 15% in your remodelling funds. Ah, such a good day Soon, well have enough.

FrozenCloud looked at the threes encouraging expressions, and her words were caught on
her tongue.

All this time, Zhang ZhengXiong was still sweating away working in the smithy. It was filled
with rhythmic Clang~ Clang~ sounds.

(TN: Sudden Unexplained Time Skip)

College, east campus. 5 people were wandering around. They felt the surrounding people
pointing fingers at them and whispering. Wu Na pricked up her ears.

Thats the legendary group T-105.

You mean that group of 3 miscreants that took out 3 instructors and tens of squad members?
That T-105?

Mm. Now every time Instructor Wang sees an electric grenade, his face will turn pale and his
whole body will tremble.

I heard they hid the electric grenades under Instructor Wangs you know, and used him as a
trap. Just imagining that electric grenade going off makes my bottom shiver.

Dont even mention it. I was one of the ones called in for support. That river full of naked
people tied to rafts good thing I didnt go save them. The rescue team lost half their men
before successfully saving everyone. They even wrote on Instructor Wangs rear. It was full of
prayers to pass the test. There was even an incense stuck in there Im so lucky to have passed
and entered the 2nd test. I dont want to have to meet those three beasts.

Just at that time, there was an announcement which made all the students freeze.

After some investigation, its been decided that team T-105 will be be permitted to pass the 1st
combat test to participate in the 2nd.

The students were shocked. The people who walked past Ye Cang, saw his sneer, and they
would break out in cold sweat. That white heads smile was so terrifying.

Youre not even going to class for attendance? Wu Na looked at Ye Cang who was holding
little Ye Tians hand, Zhang ZhengXiong, and Lin Le.

Weve already talked to the counsellor about it. Mmmm~ Ye Cang said as he stretched. Little
Ye Tian was also stretching, imitating him.
Oh, I remember. I saw Brother LilWhite and Brother LilXiong take that counsellor to a
remote corner. Then Brother LilXiong performed a trick where he took an alloy bar, and shaped
it into a butterfly with his bare hands. Strangely, he seemed afraid. Then we went home. Wu Na
broke out in cold sweat hearing Lin Les words. She face palmed. Thats not a performance! It
was a blatant threat!

The bright sunlight shined through the cover of the trees along the path, giving others a languid
feeling. The five of them were all feeling lazy. They were showing Little Ye Tian around. After
lunch, the five of them had decided to take a walk to the east campus and arrived at the martial
arts arena. They found seats up near the front. Zhang ZhengXiong was here to represent LinHai
college to compete.

Zhang ZhengXiong looked around and saw many exchange students with swords and blades.
They were from the martial arts club, the kendo club, eh, theres even a squad of guards? He
faintly smiled. The weapon my bro gave me, is much better than those mimicry weapons youre
all using.

(AN: Mimicry Weapons: A weapon made of special alloy. For example, swords are similar to
lightsabers, but instead of laser, its a type of metal. Really easy to carry around. Classified as a
government controlled weapon. Commonly used in melee battles. The ones used by the army are
slightly different. The school uses a competition model to reduce the likelihood of deaths.)

(TN: Image a handle, you push a button, and a weapon pops out.)

Ye Cang looked at the surrounding crowd. They were looking at the exchange students from
korea and the island nations with eyes full of anticipation. The strongest should be that young
woman with the neat long hair wearing a kendo uniform, that bearded man in karate clothes, as
well as that korean girl that looks like an idol but had a mimicry sword on her waist.

Their sights then landed on LinHais representative. Besides AXiong, there were a few pretty
good ones from the guards. The martial arts clubs representative was also alright, but they were
lacking compared to the bearded man. The rest of them were ordinary. They were there just to
fill the numbers and put on a show. Ye Cang based this on their body and their aura. Little Ye
Tian analyzed them all and said: Unless theres an earthquake, a meteor, or some sort of rift in
space that accidently opens up and swallows him into another world, Big Brother Xiong has
about 100% chance of winning.

Wu Na couldnt help smiling as she hugged Little Ye Tian. What do you mean rift in space that
accidently sends him to another world?

I was joking. To say it bluntly, everyone is weak compared to Brother Xiong. Was it bad?
Little Ye Tian asked seriously.

Eh Haha Wu Na silently pet her head, not knowing what to say.

Ah, so it was a joke Lin Le who had been greatly alarmed, pouted.
Chapter 109: Exchange Meeting Begins
Silence please! This is the 36th exchange meet between SongTan, LinHai and YueYao. Im the
student council member and your announcer for today - Xiao Keer. An exceptionally sweet
LinHai girl with medium long hair stood forwards. She wore LinHais light blue and white
female uniform. Her voice was really bright, matching her sweet appearance.

Goddess! Blow me a kiss!

Warm my bed!!

Wooo~~

Violate me!!

Xiao Keer smiled awkwardly. Everyone is still so passionate, haha

She was one of the colleges top 10 beauties, as well as a member of the student council. It was
obvious shed be picked for this task, it was something she was good at. She quickly talked about
the participants and exchange students to the passionate audience, then began introducing the
judges. The first was an old man wearing a black kimono. He was bald, with a white beard, and
deep eyes that looked exceptionally sharp and wise. The first judge, who everyone is definitely
familiar with, Mister Yasuaki Ryuichi! Hes the master of the Severing Thousand Flows school
of karate, which is very well know and widespread even in China.

Yasuaki Ryuichi slowly nodded, not saying a word.

The next person doesnt even need me to introduce them. The master of ZhengBang martial
alliances LinHai branch. Teacher Song Ping!!

The applause was deafening. ZhengBang school of martial arts, was only a second-rate school in
china until Wu TianMing handed over leadership to a legendary figure that was known by
everybody, the Chrysanthemum Emperor - Lin Lin. During summer vacation, when he was 11
years old, as a school project, he established and mastered the Chrysanthemum Scattering Arts
which was still passed down to this day. He became ZhengBangs 18th master and also became
Chinas God of War. At 16 years old, he disappeared. He was the founder of the city colleges as
well as the former XinYun city mayor. The only reason LinHai had a famous college was
because he often came here for vacation. It was simply to commemorate his time in China. As
for ShanLan, it was the name of the Chrysanthemum Emperors primary school. Once the
Chrysanthemum Emperor disappeared, ZhengBang slowly lost its influence and position as
number one. However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. To date, it was still one of
Chinas top 3 martial arts schools.

The Severing Thousand Flows was also based off of the Chrysanthemum Scattering Arts. In fact,
many of the worlds famous techniques were. Thus it could be said that ZhengBangs master and
Severing Thousand Flows master were sworn enemies.
Song Ping raised an eyebrow to checked out Yasuaki Ryuichi who was beside him, his eyes
conveying his contempt. Then, he took back his gaze and examined at the athletes.

Ye Cang looked at the two judged that had been introduced. Yasuaki Ryuichi was strong. As for
Teacher Song Ping, although his although his aura was not as astonishing, he was definitely
stronger. ZhengBang really deserved to be one of Chinas top martial arts groups. He faintly
smiled and continued watching with his arms crossed.

Our third judge also doesnt need much introduction. Everyone should know him. He is a
frequent visitor of LinHai. The taekwondo master, Mr Feng YuanSheng!

All the koreans on stage stood at attention, acting respectfully.

As for our next judge, his disciple has been the kendo champion three times running. Let us
welcome, from the land of the rising sun, Moonless Divine Mirror temples Mr Ichiro Uemura!!
Xiao Keer continued introducing the fourth judge who had brought his disciple to participate.
Moonless Divine Mirror was a well known name in the island nations, and Ichiro Uemura was
the master of the hokkaido division. He was familiar with many types of swordsmanship.

Ok, our last judge is from our very own LinHai east district. One of the four head instructors,
Zhou XiaoZhi - Instructor Zhou. Xiao Keer gave the final judge a very brief introduction. He
had a hooked nose, sharp eyes, and everything about him gave others a strict feeling, to the point
he seemed gloomy. As for his age, he was the youngest among the 5, probably no more than 40,
but he had the coldest aura.

Originally Li LiJia had been invited, but she didnt accept. Zhou XiaoZhi frowned thinking of
something. Divine Eagle Fist1

Ye Cangs sight landed on him, and smiled after sizing him up. He then stretched and ruffled his
white hair. Just how much longer will they ramble on before starting

After going through some conventional greetings, and some nonsense about the federation, it
finally began.

Zhang ZhengXiong who had practically fallen asleep, woke up and looked at his first opponent.
Korean Taekwondo practitioner? He yawned and slowly walked into the arena, raising his arms
to stretch.

The two of them faced each other in the center of the arena.

Please Before he could even bow, he was blasted out of the arena by a casual fist.

Next, Im short on time. Zhang ZhengXiong said feeling sleepy. He began massaging his neck.

Brother LilXiong, so mighty! Formidable! Lin Le saw that the surrounding spectators all
froze. He quickly jumped up and cheered.
Li LiJia was calmly watching the stage as she recalled the muscular giant. That guys strength
already surpasses a students level. Hes probably a match for Qin ShaoTian.

AXi! Do you chinese have no morality! The koreans began to make a ruckus. The college
students began to shout back. You pretentious bastards! Serves you right!

Come at me together! Im really in a rush. Zhang ZhengXiong said pointing towards the
korean exchange students. His eyes landed on the idol like girl. Including you

In the judging panel, Feng YuanSheng was furious. Such an arrogant kid!

As for the idol girl, she wasnt Feng YuanShengs disciple. She was called Jin XiuYan and was
the one of the successors of the Graceful Sword Style. She frowned at him. This Chinese

Zhang ZhengXiong saw that no one was moving, and exclaimed again. Im not joking. All of
you come together. If you wont come, Ill go over there.

Zhou XiaoZhi glanced over from another arena with his sharp gaze. Such astonishing muscle
strength and body. Zhang ZhengXiong? Seems he was one of the ones that the third
administrations Zhang ShaoFeng had recruited for the 5 schools competition. That kids
potential is so astonishing.

Such a rude and arrogant Chinese! Who do you think you are!?

Hes acting too arrogant. Is he not afraid of being struck down? Even the spectators looked
doubtful.

I know him! Hes that demon!! Hes the one who beat Instructor Wang and had us all tied
naked onto rafts!! T-105s Zhang ZhengXiong!!

1: I have no idea why he would suddenly mutter that

Chapter 110: Cheat level Weapon
Even if he was T-105s demon, how can one guy take on so many korean exchange students?
Its not very realistic! That Jin XiuYan is very strong.

Zhang ZhengXiong saw that no one was coming up. He sighed, and began walking straight over.
I still have to personally go over.

One of them charged over, launching a high kick. Ill teach you a lesson!

Zhang ZhengXiong didnt dodge, or block. He didnt even react at all. Everyone screamed at him
to avoid. His shoulder took the hit, but he it didnt even tickle. The attacker felt like his right leg
had just kicked steel. He hugged his leg in pain, rolling around on the ground, and screaming.

Stop! If you leave the arena, then you forfeit! The referee quickly blocked Zhang ZhengXiong
who wanted to mow down all the competition.

Hah~ so weak. Wasting my time Zhang ZhengXiong wanted to pick up the referee and
throw him away, but then remembered his dangerous academic standing. Although he had
recently improved it, if he threw the referee, he would definitely be punished and lose quite a bit.
He slowly returned to his place with sighed heavily.

Out of the 10 arenas, Zhang ZhengXiongs was the fastest. He practically just walked up and
then blasted his opponents out. The five judges all thought differently. Song Ping appreciated his
talent, and wanted to take him as a student. Yasuaki Ryuichi frowned. Although Qin ShaoTian
didnt come, this kid wouldnt be any easier to handle.

This Zhang ZhengXiong is too abnormal. No one has even lasted two seconds against him

I remembered a saying

What?

One powerful man can take on dozens.

The bearded japanese - Shoichi Matsumura, who was Yasuaki Ryuichis disciple, watched
Zhang ZhengXiong. He frowned and couldnt relax. That Chinese guy is going to be a
problem

Meanwhile, the kendo girl - Haruka Mizuno, who was a well known disciple of Moonless Divine
Mirror, raised her brows. Then she smiled and thought. Im in kendo, so I wont be competing
with him. Hes got nothing to do with me.

At this time, Shoichi Matsumuras opponent was Xiao Zung from the guards. He was one of the
core students learning the Chrysanthemum Scattering Art, but no one could successfully master
it except for the creator. Most could only brush the surface. No one could be like the
Chrysanthemum Emperor, yet that didnt stop people from walking this difficult path. The
Chrysanthemum Scattering Art was an amalgamation of 3 different styles: The Chrysanthemum
Miracle, The Void Fists, and the 8 Scattering Hands. The parts that were leaked was the Void
Fists, and a part of the Scattering Hands. This made the Severing Thousand Flows different from
the usual Karate. It incorporated some soft moves which were similar to Judo.

Xiao Zung was a disciple of the ZhengBang school. The competition between these two caught
the attention of all 5 judges. However, within 10 moves, Shoichi Matsumura had already won.
He had deflected with a soft and flowing defence. Then retaliated with a hard and ferocious fist.
He was exceptionally strong.

Yasuaki Ryuichi was very happy with the results. Shoichi Matsumura was one of his potential
successors, and one of his three favorite disciples. He wasnt even 20 years old and had already
comprehended hardness and softness. Beside him, Song Ping was gnashing his teeth. This time,
ZhengBang lost big. It would have been fine to lose to someone else, but the opponent was those
thieves from Severing Thousand Flows!! His eyebrows furrowed tightly. Qin ShaoTian that
stinking brat, where did he run off to! He sighed. Although Qin ShaoTian was a disciple of
ZhengBang, but his strength had already surpassed his own. This sort of competition was
beneath him.

Sighing at Qin ShaoTians absence, Zhang ZhengXiong became his last hope.

Finally, its almost over. Referee, can I use the weapon I brought? Zhang ZhengXiong
inquired.

What kind? The referee asked.

It should be considered a concealed weapon. Dont worry, its not illegal. Zhang ZhengXiong
shrugged. The judge slowly nodded, and told Shoichi Matsumura that he could also select a
weapon. Shoichi Matsumura chose to use a pair of Tonfas. He looked at Zhang ZhengXiong
doubtfully Concealed? Ill just be a bit more careful. Shoichi Matsumura who was originally
afraid of Zhang ZhengXiongs strength, felt much better now that he had alloy tonfas. Lets
start.

Come. Zhang ZhengXiong reached out and gestured at him to come. Shoichi Matsumura
charged over, and performed a ferocious elbow strike. Zhang ZhengXiong easily blocked it with
his hand. Shoichi Matsumura launched another elbow strike.

This time, Zhang ZhengXiong casually took out a spray bottle. A mist was released from it.
Shoichi Matsumura who was being cautious, raised a hand to block it, but they were too close
and it was mist. It reached his eyes and nose, and he felt a sharp pain. He fell to the ground,
rolling around holding his face and cursing endlessly. My eyes! You despicable Chinese!!!

Zhang ZhengXiong shook his head and sprayed again, as if he were trying to get rid of a
cockroach.
The referee stared blankly. Pepper spray!? Its really not an illegal weapon, and it also didnt
cause any mortal wounds. He stood there, not knowing how he should judge it.

Everyone watched stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Too awesome! His weapon was actually that!!

Ye Cang sneered and snorted. These fools didnt even know that the strongest melee weapon was
SK-31 Pepper Spray. He reached out and high fived his fellow schemer Lin Le. Our plan is
successful!

Originally, the three of them were trying to find a way to protect Wu Na. They finally decided
that it would be best to put some lime powder in her pocket which she could throw at her
assailant. While they were shopping around, they saw SK-31 Pepper Spray. Lin Le had pointed
at it and said: Brother LilWhite, this would work so much better. Look at the description. Wide
range, hard to avoid. One drop in the eyes and its guaranteed to take away most peoples
fighting strength, and cause them terrible pain.

Since then, each of them had been carrying one on them at all times.

Jin XiuYan and Haruka Mizuno were also astonished. Such a shameless Chinese, he actually
used Pepper Spray

Zhang ZhengXiong looked at Shoichi Matsumura who was still rolling around on the ground. He
went up, and picked him up by the collar with one hand, then casually threw him out of the
arena. He then looked at the referee while putting away his pepper spray. Still not calling the
match? What are you thinking

The referee turned and looked at the 5 judges for help.

Yasuaki Ryuichi was incomparably furious, but it was still within the rules. They had actually
overlooked Pepper Spray, not expressly banning it. After all, this was an honorable martial arts
competition, no one expected this to happen. He took a deep breath, as everyone stared at him as
if they were trying to drill through him with their gaze. Although his disciple had been caught
unprepared, but even without the pepper spray, he would probably still not be a match for this
shameless chinese. From start to finish, this Zhang ZhengXiong had never revealed his strength,
because none of his opponents lasted more than three moves. He had rapidly dispatched
everyone.
Chapter 111: Recalling an Old Friend
Song Ping smiled. Good! Good Guy! What a slap in the face. Using pepper spray against alloy
tonfas. Haha~! Such an interesting guy!

The referee was surprised that none of the judges opposed. He lifted Zheng ZhengXiongs hand
with an odd expression. Victor! Zhang ZhengXiong!

Eh, just like that? He became champion using pepper spray?

You Chinese are too shameless!!

Its just that you guys are too stupid. This is called winning through intelligence. Look at that
guy and his alloy tonfas. Then look at our Demon King Zhang, insta-killing him with a weapon
used by little girls. Pepper Spray! Tsk~ tsk~ a fitting end for you islanders.

You!!!

The Grappler Champion has been decided! As expected of the devil from T-105 - Zhang
ZhengXiong. He even bring this sort of cheat level concealed weapon to a competition. It
worked just like on TV, easily taking out any attacker. I should also get myself one of those. It
can be my secret killer move during a fight.

Zhang ZhengXiong swaggered back to the audience to join Ye Cang and the others.

All that was left was the kendo competition, but it was also coming to an end. Jin XiuYan
couldnt overcome Haruka Mizuno in the end. Among the competitors, there was a girl called
Zhao XiangYu who was eliminated quite quickly, but she grabbed Zhang ZhengXiong and Ye
Cangs attention. However, it wasnt the girls sword skills that drew their attention, it also
wasnt her opponents gorgeous sword play, but because that girl looked exactly like QinXue.

Ye Cangs eyes became a little moist, blurring his vision, but he quickly snapped out of it. Ive
already said my final goodbyes, and even ensured that she had reincarnated. A ripple again
formed in his tranquil heart. They only look alike.

Little Ye Tian also noticed. She slowly embraced him and tugged on his sleeve.

Zhang ZhengXiong sighed, and reached out to pat his shoulder. Bro, dont overthink it

Mm Ye Cang raised his head and didnt speak. Wu Na looked at his heartbroken expression,
and although she was curious, she didnt ask. She knew the two of them had a relative that
passed away. Did this girl remind them of her?

During the award ceremony, Zhang ZhengXiong examined his medal. As he didnt even get a
trophy, he felt slightly disappointed. He grabbed the medal, and directly left with everyone. Xiao
Keer who had conferred it to him, smiled and stood there motionlessly. That guy didnt give her
any face. He even ignored Song Ping, who had called out to him, and directly left.

This Zhang ZhengXiong might be talented, but hes too obstinate and arrogant. Song Ping
looked at Zhang ZhengXiongs back and frowned, furious.

Youre not his match Zhou XiaoZhi left behind these words before leaving, stunning Song
Ping.

Song Ping sighed, was it another brat like Qin ShaoTian? He turned and looked at Yasuaki
Ryuichi sternly criticizing his students. Was ZhengBang still declining? Perhaps The mystery
behind the Chrysanthemum Scattering Arts, only ancestor Lin Lin understood them. Without
anyone able to comprehend it, the current generations was slowly withering. He got up to leave.

Ye Cang and the others passed through the night market on the way home. While they were
there, they feasted at Old Wangs store. Zhang ZhengXiong grumbled the whole time about the
disappointing award. Stuff like, if they have a ** trophy, why not use it. He was eventually
berated by Ye Cang about watching his language in front of the kids, and was smacked in the
head a few times.

Earlier, that ZhengBang guy. His move was so bad, I feel like even I could do better. Lin Le
pouted. He cupped his hand and made as if to scoop the moon. Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong
both stared shocked. Although there was no qi, but the movements were perfect! There wasnt
any hesitation, nor movement giving away his intentions. The two watched surprised. Ye Cang
couldnt help praising him. Not bad. Lele, youre quite talented.

Shucks~, Im just playing around Lin Les ahoge swayed delightedly.

You guys go home first. I want to take a little walk to relax my mind Ye Cang smiled towards
the others. He then turned and walked towards the nearby half-moon lake.

Bro, dont be out too late. Zhang ZhengXiong said, holding back Wu Na who wanted to chase
after him. Let my bro have some time to himself.

That girl today, you both looked at her as if youd seen a ghost. That guy even leaked some
tears. Just what Wu Na sat down and asked.

Yeah, its something you dont know about my sister and us. Zhang ZhengXiong saw Little Ye
Tians heart-broken expression. He smiled, picked her up, put her on his lap, and pet her head.
You peaked at his memory?

Little Ye Tian nodded, not saying anything.

My elder sister is called Zhang QinXue. We were born to a broken family in the slums. Before
meeting bro, all I remember is a father that would drink and beat us. Frankly, I dont even
remember my mother, because she died from illness when I was very young. Sister said that
mother was a gentle but cowardly woman. Our family was poor, we rarely had enough to eat.
What money we did have, would go towards wine or playing around in the red-lights district. He
even tried to persuade my sister to Hah~ In short, father would drink and come back drunk to
beat us, many times, over many years. I thought that he would really kill my sister and I one
day Zhang ZhengXiong sank into his thoughts, and stopped for a moment. Until one winter,
he came back drunk again. As always, he vented his anger on us, but this time was different. He
even wanted to ** my sister. His own daughter! The good thing is that while my sister was
resisting, she accidently knocked him out. She then brought the young me and we ran away from
that hopeless home.

It was an exceptionally cold winter night. It was raining hard. I dont know how far my sister
ran while carrying me. We were both covered in cuts and bruises. All I remember was that bone-
piercing cold. Even now, I still remember being on sisters back and watching her bruised face.
Beaten and exhausted, but still running and telling me AXiong, dont fall asleep. You hear
me? The two of us eventually found shelter under a stores entryway, but were soon chased
away. There was nowhere we could take shelter from the rain. We continued looking, until the
hunger and cold forced us to huddle up in a small alley. Although I was young at the time, seeing
sisters hopeless expression, I knew what would happen to us Powerlessly, we looked as less
and less people walked by, but none of them reached out to help us Zhang ZhengXiongs
story, made Wu Nas heart ache. Was this when it happened?

Zhang ZhengXiong looked at Wu Nas expression. Mm, I still remember his expressionless
face, holding a large black umbrella. He walked over and blocked the rain. Truth be told, at that
time, me and my sister almost peed ourselves in fright. An expressionless white haired boy with
a black umbrella, my sister and I thought that he was death, here to take us away.

Wu Na couldnt hold back her smile. So thats how they met.

Especially when bro looked at us and indifferently asked Cold?. Me and my sister froze. We
nodded, terrified. Then he asked us Hungry? and we could only keep nodding. Then Bro
thought for a bit, and said Follow me. We thought he was bringing us to hell, but after passing
through a few streets, he brought us to a simple and clean appartment. Bro gave us a change of
clothes, and let us wash up. The clothes I was wearing were Bros, and my sister wore the
clothes his Grandmother left behind. He let us go make our own meal with whatever was in the
fridge. He was burning incense in front of his grandmothers picture, telling her about his good
deed. Then he sat in front of the TV and watched a cartoon. Then Zhang ZhengXiong smiled
gently, then sadly shook his head. Ok, lets stop here for now.

Zhang ZhengXiong lifted Little Ye Tian up onto his shoulders, wrapped an arm around Lin Le,
who was lost in thought, then began walking towards the apartment. Wu Na stared blankly.
Next? What happens next!? What do you mean lets stop here!? What about the f**king main
point! You didnt even say yet. She quickly ran to catch up. Damn it! Next? What happens next?
You still havent gotten to the point. What exactly happened!? Hurry! Tell!
Secret. Ill tell you next time Zhang ZhengXiongs bright laughter and Wu Nas questioning
and profanities faded into the distance.
