《MMORPG: Martial Gamer》Chapter 161. A Familiar Figure
Advertisement
After the initial conversation with Sanguine Primrose, Wang Yu didn't hear from the three of them again.
Even after adding together the entire Quan Zhen Sect and these three calefares, there were still only seventeen of them. They were still short of three more players…
"What now?" Wang Yu mumbled to himself before sending a message to Mu Zi Xian: "Honey what level are you now?"
"I just reached 15! I was planning on going to clear a dungeon actually!" Mu Zi Xian chirped. As a customer service officer, Mu Zi Xian naturally knew the best hunting grounds to grind at. With the help of the triple experience from the Chinese New Year event, she was able to reach level 15 very easily.
"That's great! Come help me!"
"Huh? Are you sure about this? I don't even have the confidence to clear a Normal tier dungeon you know..." Mu Zi Xian replied in shock.
"It's fine! We just need to make the numbers!" Wang Yu indifferently replied. They already had four calefares anyway so what difference would one more make?
"Alright then! I'll be over soon!" Mu Zi Xian giggled.
Eighteen now… Just two more to go…
Just as Wang Yu was still wracking his brain to think of another possible member, Defiant Tiger suddenly sent him a message: "Bro is there still space? I have a friend who wants to tag along!"
"Is he any good?" Wang Yu blurted out. If it was any other day, Wang Yu wouldn't have been as concerned about the abilities of others. After all, no matter how monstrous others were, how could they ever hope to compare with him?
However this time they were entering a Hell tier dungeon. The difficulty of this dungeon was already unimaginably higher than any they had experienced before. The five calefares in the team were only tolerated because the other were trying to give Wang Yu face. If he added another one who de didn't even know in then the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect would surely give him a hard time. There was even the possibility that they would try to get him killed in the dungeon!

"He's an expert that's even better than me!" Defiant Tiger confidently replied.
"Great! Bring him along then!" Wang Yu excitedly replied. He had personally seen Defiant Tiger in action before. Although he wasn't on the level of the others in the Quan Zhen Sect, he was still leagues above ordinary players. What's more, he was rather clever himself and also possessed the ability to craft mystic snares that could even impede bosses. If someone like him was recommending someone else as an expert then this person definitely had some substance.
Now they had nineteen members, they just needed to find one more player… Wang Yu had considered extending an invitation to Dawn's First Ray and the others. But after remembering that the only thing they had going for them was top tier equipment, he quickly perished the thought.
"We just need one more! Has anyone found someone suitable yet?" Wang Yu sent in the guild chat.
Wang Yu refused to believe that these scum didn't have a single friend in the entire game.
"It's not that we don't, it's just that we're trying to clear a Hell tier dungeon… No one wants to run the risk of dropping a level if they die inside. It's not easy to find an expert that's on good enough terms with us to be willing to take a risk like that!" Fearless helplessly replied.
The gaming world was more realistic than even real life. Experts definitely wouldn't want to associate themselves with the weak since they were only completely different levels… Even if they had friends that they were very familiar with, there was still a distinct possibility that they would end up on a conflict because of a piece of equipment. If they really wanted to attempt something as risky as this, then the person they invited definitely had to be someone they had a good relationship with.
Because of this, the only people that a group of experts like the Quan Zhen Sect rusted were each other.
"Ai..." Wang Yu helplessly sighed as he opened his friends list and tried to search for someone to invite again.
"How about I go on the forums..." Wang Yu suggested.

"No! They'll definitely try and f**k with us!" Fearless immediately interrupted.
"No way… It's just a game, why would anyone be so cruel?" Wang Yu asked as though this was the most inconceivable thing in the world.
"Maybe if it was another guild that wouldn't necessarily be the case. But because this is regarding the Quan Zhen Sect..." Fearless honestly replied.
"..." Hearing this, Wang Yu really didn't know what to say. What kind of evils had the eight of them even committed in the past…
As Wang Yu struggled to come up with a feasible solution, he suddenly received a message from Mu Zi Xian.
"Honey where are you? I'm already in Twilight City!"
"I'm near the city lord's manor now!" Wang Yu replied.
"Come pick me up! I'm at the teleportation formation!"
"Coming!"
After briefly replying her, Wang Yu hurriedly made his way to the teleportation formation. When Wang Yu arrived, he saw Mu Zi Xian excitedly looking at he surrounds. Walking up to her, he grabbed her hand and chuckled: "What're you looking at?"
"The sun! I haven't seen the sun in the game for sooooo long! The scenery here is much nicer than my home city..." Mu Zi Xian giggled.
Mu Zi Xian's home city was Deep Night City and was constantly night.
"Yea..." Although Wang Yu had been playing
"Alright, bring me shopping then!" Mu Zi Xian excitedly tugged at Wang Yu's sleeves and smiled.
"Shopping?" Wang Yu mumbled in confusion. There were only weapon, armour and potion shops in the game. What shopping could she even do?
"Yea! I want to see if there's any pretty armours here!"
"Pretty armour…" Women were really frightening. The only thing players normally cared about was the attributes and here she wanted something to wear to show off…
"Let's go then..." Wang Yu froze for a second before leading Mu Zi Xian to the shops.
The street that the teleportation formation was located at just so happened to be near the city lord's manor. Hence, there were numerous player owned shops that were set up along the street.
Before Wang Yu and Mu Zi Xian had even walked to the end of the street, he had already spent 3 gold buying a pile of useless equipments for her…
However, Wang Yu didn't looked bothered by this at all. As long as Mu Zi Xian was happy, it was good enough for him.
As they were passing by the city lord's manor, Wang Yu suddenly noticed a hunching figure in the corner of his eye not too far from where they were. Although the figure was incredibly familiar, Wang Yu wasn't able to instantly recognise who it was before the player vanished.
[Stealth]! It was a Thief!
Wang Yu didn't know many Thieves and the one he was most familiar with was Frost Blade. However, Frost Blade's equipment were all top tier ones and his skills were good, but not top notch.
One look at the posture and movements of this player however and Wang Yu was able to discern that he was an expert.
While Wang Yu was staring at the player, he realised that the player definitely recognised him as well as he had briefly glanced at Wang Yu before he disappeared…
"What are you looking at!!!!" Mu Zi Xian growled as she stomped on Wang Yu's foot.
"I'm looking at a player!" Wang Yu nonchalantly replied.
"A player?" Mu Zi Xian followed Wang Yu's gaze and her face immediately darkened: "No wonder I felt that you've become worse! You're playing this game to stare at girls aren't you!!!!"
"Wait what? No!" Wang Yu hurriedly turned around and realised that the place where the Thief had once been standing currently had a group of players led by a woman. The woman's armour was incredibly revealing and showed of her ample cleavage and milky thighs…
Just as Wang Yu was about to explain that he wasn't staring at the woman, the Thief suddenly moved and stabbed the woman right in the back.
With the high burst damage all thieves had, the woman instantly dissolved into a ray of light. WIthout pausing, the Thief immediately rolled forward and dodged the attacks of the woman's companions. When he saw this, Wang Yu immediately knew who this Thief was.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.
