Chapter 851: Bloody Shield (1/2)
We assembled the party after we got out of our beds. He Yi wasn’t with us because she had left again to attend a meeting in Beijing. Just like last time, she departed in the early morning and would be returning during the evening. We would be worried if she wasn’t accompanied by a beautiful director from Suzhou Raincube.
After we finished breakfast and prepared ourselves for a long grind by laying out fruits and drinks next to our beds, we went online. This was so that we could refresh ourselves on the spot when we logged out of the game. I didn’t really need it because I was like a camel among gamers, capable of gaming an entire day and night without water or food. The girls could hardly claim the same. They were made of softer stuff and should be cared for as such.
I also gave Lin Yixin a call—
”Good morning, Yiyi!”
”I’m eating breakfast right now, Little Cheat!” I could hear the sounds of cars from the other side of the phone call. I could already imagine her walking on the streets and eating a roujiamo as she spoke to me.
”Get moving! We’re all ready and waiting to activate the follow-up quest of Nine Tigers Soul Suppressing Tower!”
”I’ll reach my apartment in ten minutes. I’ll log in right after that!”
”Okay, see you in a bit! Muah!”
”...”
……
Swhoosh!
I logged into the game first. Beiming Xue and Murong Mingyue were already waiting for me.
”Where’s Lian Xin?” I asked.
”Sister Lian Xin is waiting inside the black room and performing a data transfer. The system confirmed that her immigration was a success, but she has to wait 5 minutes for the data transfer to complete. Let’s wait,” Beiming Xue said.
”Sure, we’re in no particular hurry anyway. Lin Yixin also needs a couple of minutes before she can log into the game. Let’s just wait for all of them to get ready.”
”Yeah!”
A while later, a magic formation flashed once, and a beautiful mage with a green ID stepped out of it. She was our Lian Xin of course.
Lian Xin gave us a smile as she said, ”Finally. Now, add me into the main guild!”
”Mn.”
I sent her the guild invite, and a second later I heard a beep—
Beep!
Guild Notice: Player ”Lian Xin” LV-173 (Phantasm of Stars)” has joined the guild!
……
The guild channel immediately erupted into a flurry of activity and excitement—
Xu Yang: ”Hahaha, Little Xing is finally home! A Level 173 mage? That’s amazing!”
Li Chengfeng: ”Welcome home, Star Elder, Little Lian Xin! From now on, no one will dare say that Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls doesn’t have powerful mages anymore, hahaha!”
Lian Xin let out a giggle. ”Cool your jets, Gui Guzi~~”
Chaos Moon said, ”Yeah, just ignore Little Gui, he can be an idiot sometimes, huhu. That being said, I’m pretty sure God’s Dance’s chance of beating Lian Xin is less than 20%. Even Stranger of Three Lifetimes and Luo River God of the Capital would fare better than God’s Dance, am I right Lu Chen?”
I nodded. ”Yeah. Lian Xin has an 80% chance to beat God’s Dance, 70% chance to beat Stranger of Three Lifetimes, but only a 55% chance to beat Luo River God of the Capital. Your mage skills are better, but your mechanical skill needs a lot more refinement. Luo River God of the Capital wouldn’t have allowed Lin Yixin to get close to her as easily as you did during that duel.”
Lian Xin agreed. ”That’s true. I’ve beaten almost all the melee experts at Seven Star City, but I’ve never met one who’s as strong as Lin Yixin. She’s too decisive when she moves, so it’s hard to react before it’s too late. I’m sure I can become China’s true best mage if you keep practicing with me though, big brother Lu Chen!”
Li Chengfeng laughed. ”Oh yes! Don’t forget to save all the matches where Lu Chen lost, Lian Xin. We all would like to watch Lu Chen having his ass handed to him by a mage, hahaha!”
The corner of my mouth twitched once. ”Fuck…”
Lian Xin replied smilingly, ”Sure! Speaking of which, I heard that you’re pretty skillful yourself, dragon warrior. You are among the top five best players in Sky City and a top player in the competitive arena, right? Let’s hang out in the competitive arena together after my practices, okay? Okay, it’s a promise!”
Li Chengfeng turned green immediately. ”Can… can I say no?”
Xu Yang replied, ”Sure, if you want to die that is…”
Gui Guzi laughed heartlessly. ”Oh man, I can’t wait to see Li being ravaged by a mage! You’re not allowed to use Battle Soul Possession by the way, that’s cheating!”
