Chapter 400: 400, [Night Parade of One Hundred Demons]
Before the sun had set, outside Frost Feather City, just the right amount of 103 players had gathered.
There were three extra players, but that was not a big deal.
Zhao Qiansun was chatting and laughing with two female players beside him, trying his best to display his humorous side, hoping to win over the girls’ hearts and kick off an intense online romance.
Soon, he heard a faint voice in his ear, “Very good.”
The voice came from the mysterious NPC who had given him the task!
Immediately afterward, a notification that the task had been completed popped up in front of him and he happily received 50,000 experience points.
“Truly a master. He’s not even here, but with just a scan of his divine sense, he knows that I have gathered everyone.” Zhao Qiansun thought to himself.
Then, he looked off into the distance.
Standing alone at the corner of the crumbling city wall were two female players.
Their game nicknames were Xiao Long Bao and Lu Xiaoyu.
Player Xiao Long Bao was petite, with a delicate face. Her whole body radiated vitality; however, her chest was flat.
When players first create their characters, the system scans your face and body, after which, players can make adjustments.
Most players would make drastic changes, to the point that even their own mothers would not recognize them.
This was quite normal. After all, how you want to be in a game is entirely up to you!
Completely different looks from reality also make it easier to do whatever you want in the game, to let loose…
Of course, some only make slight beautification adjustments, like some professional players and hosts, who let others recognize them at a glance.
Especially those who are already quite good looking, they can use their in-game character’s appearance to gain real-life popularity.
Xiao Long Bao’s character adjustments were not particularly exaggerated, but they were fundamentally different from her real person look. The style remained the same though; cute and sweet.
She had always been a bubbly character, with a worry-free life since childhood. A typical beautiful and wealthy person, she loved to jump around in reality and enjoyed interacting with people.
The most significant change she had made was to transform herself into a flat-chested girl, extremely thin, with her chest practically touching her back.
In her opinion, women have their troubles, whether they are flat-chested or busty.
In reality, she belonged to the latter.
They were so big and so annoying!
She was always jumping around like a monkey, and sometimes… they bounced so painfully.
When she went running, if there was someone watching, she would feel somewhat embarrassed!
Then, whether it was out of a perverse sense of humor or something else, Xiao Long Bao changed herself to match her name perfectly, becoming small steamed buns.
As for this, she was quite satisfied.
“As expected, after flattening out, even clothing looks better on me!” she exclaimed joyously in her mind.
Now, she was still squatting in the corner of the wall, mushroom-like, with both her hands raised to block the sun out of habit.
She gently tugged at the girl standing beside her and said, “Xiaoyu, after we slay the ghosts later, shall we go out for late-night snacks?”
“Sure,” the player nicknamed Lu Xiaoyu answered as sparingly as ever with words.
The two of them were university roommates who lived together.
The two often played games together. Being rich and not very wise, Xiao Long Bao even set up a guild to play around with.
‘One Night Fish and Dragon Dance’, the guild’s name was from the combination of the names of the two besties.
In Heavenly Dust, this guild was very much a lesser-known guild.
To be more precise, this guild was only recently established a few days ago and had virtually no reputation.
Thankfully, there were a lot of female players in the guild, immediately attracting a large number of male players to join.
This had led to the guild having quite a number of players, although its overall strength was rather weak.
In their eyes, receiving their task today could potentially be an opportunity to increase the overall strength of the guild.
After all, ghosts are like moving experience point gift packages. They were easier to kill than foreign races, but their experience point reward was no less. It was a grand bargain!
Xiao Long Bao looked into the city and said, “Xiaoyu, I heard from Zhao Qiansun that there might be a highly skilled NPC hidden in the city. Do you think we might have a chance to cling to a powerful figure later?”
“Don’t know.” Lu Xiaoyu was still conserving her words.
“Tsk, so detached!” Xiao Long Bao pouted.
She was very clear that Lu Xiaoyu only acted this indifferent in front of us. If she were in front of that man, she would speak much more!
Of course, even in front of her bestie, once the topic involved that man, Lu Xiaoyu would suddenly become talkative!
Every time Xiao Long Bao wanted to tease her, she would need only say, “You bet I will try to seduce your brother, so you’ll have to call me sister-in-law, hahaha~”
Then, even Lu Xiaoyu, who was usually reserved, would get so angry that she would thump her chest, threatening to strangle her!
“This girl is a total brother-con!” Xiao Long Bao had long since figured it out.
Unfortunately… Sigh~
At this thought, Xiao Long Bao couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.
“He’s actually quite handsome, and he even coincidentally has the same name as the one from the Purple Palace,” Xiao Long Bao thought.
…
…
Inside Frost Feather City, atop the ruined city center.
Lu Xun, having casually counted the number of players outside the city, withdrew his divine sense.
“They gathered quite fast,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
