Chapter 7: Green Tea Man
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
“Really…..agh. Why wasn’t this student assigned to my class, instead, he was placed into Zhang Jianguo’s hand. This Zhang Jianguo’s face is going to be filled with pride from today on.” Xue Musheng’s own face was filled with envy and jealousy.
While in the front, Mu Bai’s face was filled with shock and was followed by a bit of gloom and disdain.
The Lightning Element is extraordinary. However, if you don’t know how to cultivate it, then you’ll just stay a loser. Having some strong Element appearing in China which has a large population isn’t anything out of the norm. It’s not like he’s a Natural Dual Element user, hmph. You dare to steal my limelight? Watch me trample you flat on the ground in the future.
Oh, I almost forgot to check what kind of Element this dreg has. The awakening took so long so it must’ve failed.
“Woah, woah. It’s a Fire Element!!”
“This is serious, our class has yet another Fire Element.’
“Who said he would fail his awakening? It turns out he awakened the Fire Element, that sure makes me envy him.”
After the disturbance from the shocking Lightning Element had calmed itself, everyone finally discovered the Element Mo Fan had awakened.
The girl, Zhou Min, who awakened the Fire Element earlier seemed a little shocked. She intentionally looked closer at Mo Fan and discovered that there was indeed fire sprouting from the Awakening Stone. The sprouting fire seemed to be a bit more vicious than the one she had herself.
“There’s yet another Fire Element appearing in class 8.”
“Although it’s not as rare as the Lightning Element, the Fire Element is still incredible!”
“Fire…..Fire Element….” Xue Musheng looked dull as he looked at the student before him.
The appearance of the Lightning Element almost made Xue Musheng forget about the existence of this troublemaker. Originally, he thought this student would’ve failed his awakening. However, he never thought that he would actually succeed in his awakening, and never did he think that he would even awaken the preeminent Fire Element!

This…..this is also a treasure!!
Furthermore, judging by the exuberant level of the flames, it seems like his talent was even higher than Zhou Min’s.
Xue Musheng never thought that the student he thought to be a liability would unexpectedly give him face instead!
“Not bad, not bad, that’s really not bad at all. What’s your name…oh, Mo Fan, right?” Xue Musheng was smiling so wide that his eyes looked as if it was closed.
“Yeah.” Mo Fan nodded.
Mo Fan originally thought that people saw his Lightning Element awakening. However, after looking around himself, he realized that no one had actually taken notice of that….
Either the person who awakened the Lightning Element was exceedingly shocking, or his own Lightning Element awakening’s power was too weak.
The pressure emanating from the Awakening in the beginning matters, however, it’s not a decisive factor. Even if the pressure from the beginning was weak, one could still put in efforts to slowly cultivate it, allowing it to grow even stronger.
“Fire Element student, hmm. You must strive to do well in the future, if you have something you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to ask me.” Xue Musheng happily said as he patted Mo Fan on his shoulders.
Mo Fan was still feeling ecstatic.
However, he didn’t let himself indulge in this happiness. If it was any other youth, then they would most likely reveal the Lightning Element they had awakened previously, using the credibility of Natural Dual Elements to completely steal the audience’s attention from the other Lightning Element student.
Mo Fan was not going to do that. If the heavens can be jealous of a genius, then how would mortals feel?
Mo Fan knew that there’s someone who carries hostility toward himself in the Mu Family. Thus, if he were to reveal that he possesses Natural Dual Elements, then either he would have to comply with their wishes, or they would simply get rid of him. Although Mo Fan did possess the peerless Dual Elements, he himself was still too weak. It was not too late to go crazy after he had gotten stronger!

Mo Fan turned his head around to see the reaction of Mu Bai and Zhao Kunsan.
Sure enough, the two lads faces were twitching!
“What kind of luck does this kid have? Let’s not even talk about the successful awakening, but he even awakened the Fire Element!” Although Mu Bai looked dignified, his heart was harshly cursing him.
“What the heck, how is this possible? Fire Element….” The henchman, Zhao Kunsan stared in confusion.
“Haha, I’ve said it before, Brother Mo Fan is indeed not normal! Fire Element, impressive, it really is impressive. Who cares about you, Zhao Kunsan, with your Wind Element.” Zhang Hou jumped in joy. He saw the henchman, Zhao Kunsan’s face and immediately sensed resentment.
Zhao Kunsan’s face was filled with rage. If one were to compare Primary-ranked Wind Element with Fire Element, then Wind Element will definitely be the losing side!
Mo Fan turned around with an unrestrained smile on his face as he bathed under the sunlight. Suddenly, it was as though the carpet beneath his foot spread out with two girls squealing. He was filled with confidence.
As he walked past Mu Bai, Mo Fan sneakily gave him a middle finger. The entire action was done in a smooth way, it looked like they were just greeting each other.
Mu Bai felt as though he had received the full force of Mo Fan’s ridicule, his breathing became so heavy it was practically about to explode.
He took a deep breath. Mu Bai told himself to maintain his image, he must maintain his image. He couldn’t stoop down to the same level as this beggar. He himself is the Little Young Master of the Mu Family, whereas this guy is just the son of a part time worker.
Let’s not talk about this loser succeeding in his awakening. He had even awakened the Fire Element that has a superiority in its preceding period, I guess even losers have their luck…. Additionally, what made him even angrier was the appearance of the rare Lightning Element in the class next to them. The attention from Mu Bai’s own ancestral Ice Element was completely stomped by him, shit!” Mu Bai whose appearance seemed like a Prince Charming was harshly cursing in his heart.
Mo Fan returned to his place while at the same time, he felt the gaze from his surrounding classmates that were completely different from before.
“The Fire Element, we better not provoke this guy in the future.”
“Provoke? We should improve our relations with him. If a Light Element user like myself should mix in school, then I’d need a Big Brother with Fire Element to support me.”
“Oh right, what’s his name? Was it Mo Fan?”
The surrounding students were whispering, but it still somewhat was caught by Mo Fan’s ears. Mo Fan felt his mood turn even better, while at same time, he glanced toward Mu Bai who had also heard this. Sure enough, one could see a little dissatisfaction on Mu Bai’s face.
Mo Fan already knew what kind of trash Mu Bai is. From day to night, he just acts like a Green Tea 1. The fake and emotionless expression he keeps on his face means that on the inside, he felt extremely dissatisfied.
Green Tea Man. You turn green with envy when your daddy awakens the Fire Element? Just wait till you know that I, Mo Fan, also possess the Lightning Element…. You may even commit harakiri wouldn’t you?

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
8 319No Absolution, An Antagonist LitRPG
Colin is bored out of his skull and has been getting more and more restless of late, and his wife, McKenna, has noticed. To help, she decided to get him one of the most sought after devices on the planet, A headset for the Ineffable Gaming System and its revolutionary game Rosengard Worldwide. The most advanced virtual reality video game and the only one with a near-perfect total immersion system, McKenna hoped that the activity in the game could help him overcome his boredom for the foreseeable future. On his first day in the game, he's betrayed for loot, killed, and even made to suffer. Unknown to these players, Colin (DevilWalker in-game) was an Assassin for hire that takes loyalty and betrayal seriously. It was never just about business, and this was not just another aspect of the game for him. This game was a gift from his wife, and he wasn't just going to stop. Now these players and anyone who harbors them are on his list. There will be no compromise, no remorse, and No Absolution to any who betrays Colin Drummond, The DevilWalker. * * * * * * * * * * This story is a LitRPG Action/Adventure story that will feature levels, skills, abilities, monsters, douchebag players, exciting and cool equipment with so much more. I have so much planned for this that it should be fun and entertaining for readers who enjoy the LitRPG genre as much as I do. Please join me as I recount the tale of a man who becomes a legend — both in-game and out of it. I plan to attempt a weekly update schedule. Upload Sunday evening(for me). Warning! This story will involve some amount of cussing to help add some realism and some insinuated sex that will fade to black the moment the fun begins. I am hoping to mostly keep this Rated PG-13 with maybe a few Chapters going rated-R due to language.
