Chapter 142

TL: Alright 3 chapters of ZL – Made up for yesterday’s one chapter . So, no more ZL today but maybe others 😛

Past 7 PM, North gate of Ba Huang City .

Two beauties emerged from the distant Ba Huang Forest . Lin Wan Er held a blood red iron umbrella in her hand and tread lightly . Streaks of leaves nestled in her hair and her eyelashes seemed to carry misty dew . Her pointy ears, were hidden beneath countless strands . With her delicate leather armor; she truly radiated beauty and elegance .

“Li Xiao Yao!”

Smiling, Lin Wan Er walked towards me while carrying her umbrella . On her shoulder was the emblem of [Hero Mound]’s vice leader . After [Hero Mound] was founded, Lin Wan Er was promoted to the position of vice leader in accordance with her agreement with the guild .

I stepped forward and invited Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue to the party while, giving a curious smile and asking, “Lin Wan Er, since you’re the vice leader of [Hero Mound], what are your main responsibilities?”

Lin Wan Er blinked: “Er, well, I’m not really good at management . Aside from consulting the elite players of our guild for Boss battle strategies, I do not have any other duties . ”

Dong Cheng Yue clutched her staff and said with a smile, “It is actually very simple . The reason why Q-Sword wants Wan Er to stay in [Hero Mound] is for the guild to have Fan Shu City’s most beautiful woman to help raise the influence of the guild . So as long as we stay, many of Wan Er’s followers will be willing to join our guild . That’s the simple truth…”

While rubbing my nose, I said, “Then, once Zhan Long establishes its guild, Wan Er and Dong Cheng must come over and help attract talent, okay?”

Lin Wan Er smirked, “Oh, sure . But you have to treat us to meal three times a day for each day we do that for Zhan Long . ”

I was speechless: “Are you looking for a guild or a long term meal-ticket?”

“A long term meal-ticket would be lovely… . ” Lin Wan Er replied while flipping her dagger . Suddenly, she looked down as if she suddenly remembered something . Her blushing, pretty face really looked so adorable .

On the side, Dong Cheng Yue giggled, “Hey, will Xiao Yao really provide a long term meal-ticket? Oh… Looks like there’s nothing for me anymore, I’ll go now… . ”

Lin Wan Er recovered and said laughingly, “Okay, stop doing that . Li Xiao Yao, let’s go to the Cave of Despair and learn [Reflect], otherwise we will be too disadvantaged when we’re PKing .

Dong Cheng Yue agreed: “Yes, [Reflect] functions as a shield . Moreover, it costs only 10G which is kind of cheap for an A-rank skill . ”

“Alright, let’s go!”

The two beauties followed me as I led them towards the Cave of Despair .

……

After nearly 40 minutes of walking, we arrived at our destination at almost 8 p . m . Unexpectedly, the Cave of Despair was filled with people at that moment . It would appear that my charisma was really high . The post I left in the forum attracted many people to come, but, of course, what was really alluring was not me, but the [Reflect] skill . This skill was too tempting .

Passing through the crowd, I brought the two beauties along to the seventh path . All the monsters that had just respawned had been mercilessly slaughtered by the players . How cruel .

Light appeared as we squeezed towards the Shrine of Despair . The entrance to the secret chamber was so congested that even moving forward was difficult . Old K, Little Wolf and Fox were happily collecting fees from the masses . Little Wolf raised his arms and shouted: “Just pay 10G to Hero Ran Min, Glass Fox or Darling Duck to learn the skill . If you’ve paid and have not learned the skill, please be patient . Those that have already learned the skill please return to your city so that you don’t take up too much space!”

“Keng!”

I unsheathed my Frost Rain Sword and pressed through the mob; using force made it easier for us to cross . With my other hand, I grabbed Lin Wan Er’s hand and led her forward . Wan Er was an Assassin, so pulling her was not at all difficult for me . She didn’t even resist . I didn’t look back at her, but I felt her hand warm up . She followed me to the secret chamber with her face flushed in embarrassment .

“Ding!”

There were already quite a number of people inside the chamber . I pointed to a book in a shelf and said: “Wan Er, that is the [Reflect] skill . Just pay 10G to learn the skill!”

“Ok!”

She stepped forward and quickly learned the skill, then she turned her head and said: “Get me out of here and let Dong Cheng Yue come and learn the skill!”

“Alright . ”

With a flash, Lin Wan Er and I left the room . Afterwards, I led Dong Cheng Yue to the secret chamber . She was slightly stunned after she she finished learning the skill and asked me, “Li Xiao Yao, why does it say that there is a learning limit of 3479/5000?”

“Learning limit?” I was dumbfounded .

“Yes!”

I brought Dong Cheng Yue outside and while frowning and muttered: “Is there a limit to the number of times the skill can be learned?”

As I asked, I looked towards Little Wolf and he discovered me staring at him . The corners of his mouth rose as he said, “It is true, the skill can only be learned by 5000 players, or else we would become filthy rich . ”

Lin Wan Er blinked: “Is this a system BUG that you have taken advantage of?”

I smirked: “Well, if it is a BUG, it is <>’s company’s responsibility and has nothing to do with the players . All of our actions are consistent with the rules of the game . ”

“Well!” The beautiful Miss nodded and smiled: “It is definitely the company’s responsibility, so if they try to punish you then you can just sue them!”

“Yeah, what Wan Er said is absolutely right . ”

……

While we were still chatting, a distant voice loudly bellowed: “People in the front, make way for us . The Zhan Long studio is taking advantage of a system BUG, why do so many people support this activity? What in the world is happening here?!”

The crowd dispersed as a group of high level players came forward with their weapons out . The person leading them was a player named ‘Mu Tian’ . Wait, I recognized this man, I killed him once in Fire Stone Canyon . But this time, he was with Soaring Dragon, the guild leader of [Flying Dragons] . Behind Soaring Dragon were 30 extremely high level members of his [Flying Dragons] guild, ranging from Lv 45 to 50 .

Obviously, Mu Tian was recruited by the [Flying Dragons] guild .

Carrying his axe, Mu Tian stepped forward and uttered: “Brothers, prepare to kill these people from Zhan Long Studio and have their Locus Rings drop!”

Soaring Dragon gently waved his staff and smirked as he said: “Last time, Li Xiao Yao helped [Valiant Bravery] kill me and my brothers from [Flying Dragons] . But this time we shall have our sweet revenge!”

Exposing his dagger, Little Wolf angrily marched forward and said: “Soaring Dragon, Mu Tian, Fierce Tiger and Black Tortoise . Some of you already learned the [Reflect] skill an hour ago, so now you want to ruin us? ”

Soaring Dragon grumbled with a cold expression: “Useless talk . Brothers, help me, let’s trample them here!”

……

“Wait a minute!”

A sweet but firm voice echoed beside me . Lin Wan Er carried her umbrella as she stepped forward and stared daggers at Soaring Dragon: “[Flying Dragon]’s style really is shameless, wanting to humiliate Zhan Long in front of thousands of people just to deter the chance of others to learn [Reflect]? Resources in the game are to be shared with everyone . I don’t think what Zhan Long is doing is wrong . But since [Flying Dragon] is too selfish, after acquiring [Reflect], you want to prevent others from learning it!

Lin Wan Er stood proudly, the Fan Shu city emblem on her shoulder was eye-catching . Over her head, the title of Fan Shu city’s 4th best player appeared with her mesmerizing face adding to the truth of this revelation . She was recognized by everyone as they felt overwhelmed .

“Isn’t she, isn’t she the finest Assassin and the most beautiful woman in Fan Shu City, Cang Tong?”

“Yeah, it looks like it’s her . She is really gorgeous!”

“And look, next to her is the Mage Cang Yue . These two beauties, Cang Tong and Cang Yue, are [Hero Mound]’s top ranking players . Hahaha, what a blunder these people from [Flying Dragon] have committed, suddenly offending [Hero Mound]’s elites . Let’s see what happens to Soaring Dragon . ”

……

Soaring Dragon’s mouth twitched violently while Fierce Tiger, holding his axe, whispered to him: “Boss, what should we do? My [Flame Axe] is already prepared . ”

Behind him, Black Tortoise strode to the front with his gun in hand and murmured: “Boss, please think twice . If this gets out of hand, we’ll be making [Hero Mound] as well as Fan Shu City our enemies . In addition to that, Ba Huang City’s players will be dissatisfied too . To get a foothold in Ba Huang city, we will need to be on the good side of everyone . If we fight now then we’ll be hated by everyone . Before we truly establish our guild, we must avoid things like this or else our guild will fall . ”

Soaring Dragon gave a nod and in a low voice said: “Well said, that makes sense Black Tortoise . ”

Raising his head, Soaring Dragon looked at us with a stern expression and said loudly: “Hmm, taking into consideration that many have not yet learned the [Reflect] skill, we’ll stop for now . But Li Xiao Yao, bear this in mind, we [Flying Dragons] will settle the score with you someday . Just wait, sooner or later, you will regret helping [Valiant Bravery] in attacking [Flying Dragons] . ”

I stepped forward, turned my wrist and waved my Frost Rain Sword in the air: “I, Li Xiao Yao, await [Flying Dragon]’s vengeance . But in order to avenge yourselves, look for me and don’t involve anyone else . I believe [Flying Dragon] is not despicable to that degree . I will be in the Ba Huang Forest to train . [Flying Dragon], feel free to come anytime, but it will not be easy to finish me off!”

Soaring Dragon bit his lip, took out a City Return Scroll and left for the city .

……

I let out a sigh of relief: “Thank you, Lin Wan Er . If not for you, we would have been in trouble . ”

Lin Wan Er gave a mocking smile: “Are you afraid of [Flying Dragon]?”

I shook my head: “No, I’m not afraid of the [Flying Dragon] . What I’m afraid of is that they might spoil Zhan Long Studio’s business . It’s not easy to have a chance to be rich in an instant, and for it to be wrecked is not good . ”

……

Next to me, Little Wolf laughed and said: “Brother Xiao Yao, our Zhan Long is now really rich . With just the earnings from the skill, we’ve already accumulated 50000G . In accordance with today’s exchange rate of 1:8, that would be 400,000 RMB . Also, others have killed Elite Monsters out by the entrance of the cave . Those monsters dropped tokens that allow a player to enter the secret chamber, but it is a one-time-only deal . We need to take advantage of this and make some money one last time .

I nodded: “Yeah, just make put it into the funds for the Studio, now we have the start up funds of Zhan Long!”

“Yes!”
