Virtual World: Conquering the World Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Ghost King Slope

What we never could have imagined was that famous number one mage, Gentle Breeze Embracing the Moon was actually standing in front of us.  Moreover, she was somewhat familiar.

It was actually Ling Yue!

My brain fell into chaos.  How could it be like this?  Ling Yue was actually Gently Breeze Embracing the Moon, how was this possible?

As if she was able to see our doubts, Ling Yue raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, “Stop being in a daze, what’s your seeing is not wrong!”

Bing Cha was amazed as she muttered, “Director Ling, you really are powerful.  The highest level player in China was actually you……”

Ling Yue gave a slight smile and said, “There’s nothing strange, I just asked a few friends to help me level, so that’s why I levelled so quickly.”

After finishing, Ling Yue walked forward a few steps and stopped in front of me.  She raised her head to look at me and was a little surprised as she said, “Bookworm?  Your level is so high!  Yi, even your equipment is not bad~”

I gave an awkward smile, “It’s alright, it’s alright…..”

Ling Yue didn’t say anything else as she directly sent me a friend request.  I naturally didn’t dare to hesitate as I immediately accepted and my heart filled with pride.   Mother fucker, the number one female mage in «Spirit of Grief» was actually my friend, my face lit up!

The Ling Yue inside the game gave off a more intimate feel and didn’t really feel like a director.  Perhaps only in the game could she reveal her natural disposition!

Bing Cha asked, “Directory Ling, I only have 6 gold coins.  I’ll give it all to you and count it as the funds for the company’s development in the initial stages of the game…..”

Ling Yue laughed and said, “Alright, I want 5 gold coins then.  Un, it’ll be my funds for training potions!”

I said in surprise, “Training potion funds?”

“That’s right!”  Ling Yue casually laughed and said, “Mages consume a lot of blue potions while practicing, I use up around 20 gold coins worth of potions everyday when I’m training.  I’ve sold many pieces of equipment and still haven’t been able to make ends meet.  Bookworm, you should be very rich right?  How about you give me a little extra?”

Ling Yue revealed a cute expression as she coldly smiled and looked over at me.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that her face was really just like Ling Xue’s.  So I took out 50 gold coins for her and asked, “Then…...What about Ling Xue?  What level is she at now?”

Ling Yue was scared by my 50 gold coins, but she smiled and said, “Good fellow.  You keep thinking about my sister, what is your motive?”

I was surprised as I embarrassingly said, “Nothing, I’m just casually asking……”

Ling Yue pursed her lips into a smile, “No need to be this nervous.  I don’t ask Ling Xue about what she does.  Although I’m her sister, but I’m the same age as her.  I don’t want to be her elder sister and her mother.  In the game, I want to be free and unfettered and not worry about anything troublesome~!”

After finishing, a hidden meaning flashed in Ling Yue’s eyes as she stared at me and said, “Bookworm, come level with me later.  As for the rest of you, you can form a team and level together!”

Summer protested, “Why is Director Ling only taking Bookworm?”

Ling Yue impolitely smiled and said, “I’m not taking him to level him up, rather we’re going to level together.  In my team, I won’t share experience with anyone that doesn’t have any strength!”

In that moment, Summer couldn’t think of any kind of argument.

Ling Yue squeezed out gold coins from Zi Yue and Rain Fall, then she went to buy potions for levelling.  Then she told me that she would meet me outside the city.

I thought for a bit and then took out the Scarlet Flame Sea skill book, this was the skill book dropped by the King Sword Wolf.  It should be useful to Ling Yue.  After all, this skill book seemed to be an AOE magical attack so levelling should be much easier!

Then, I ran to the medicine shop and sold some red potions and replaced them with 500 blue magic potions.  Each one costs 5 silver coins and was something that normal players couldn’t afford, but I had bought 200 in an instant and spent over 10 gold coins.  These potions, they should be useful for Ling Yue.

After preparing everything, I left Sunset City through the east gate.  Far off, the number one female mage in «Spirit of Grief»’s beautiful figure was standing by the jungle’s edge, waiting and staring.  When I came close, Ling Yue immediately smiled and said, “Just now, Xue’er wanted me to help me level, but I rejected her.  Do you know why?”

I was a little surprised as I shook my head and said, “How would I know why…..”

Ling Yue’s pursed her lips into a smile as she said with an ambiguous look, “Because elder sister doesn’t have free time!”

Fuck, what kind of reason was this…...

While I was stunned, Ling Yue had already turned to leave.  She looked at me as she smiled and said, “Let’s go, I’ll bring you to a good place!”

I was stunned once again.  She turned and looked back with a coquettish smile, making this young man’s heart beat fast!

“Ling Yue, wait a minute…..”  I suddenly called out.

Ling Yue turned to look at me as she asked, “What’s wrong Bookworm?”

I quickly opened the trading window and placed the Scarlet Flame Sea inside.  Then I said, “I believe this will be useful to you…..”

“Ah!”

Ling Yue’s small mouth opened wide as her eyes filled with amazement.  A long time passed before she pressed the confirm tab on the trade window and said, “Bookworm, why do you have this kind of high level skill book?  I’ve been killing mobs that drop skill books for a while and still haven’t gotten one!”

I said, “I got lucky that after fighting a boss, it dropped this skill book.  Since I can’t use it, then it would be a waste for me to keep it.”

Ling Yue was delighted as she pursed her lips into a smile and said, “Thank you Bookworm!  There’s no way to calculate the value of this skill book right now, but I will compensate you in the future for it!”

Seeing that beautiful face, my heart became flustered.  But she was someone else’s girlfriend, what did I count for?  Whether it was for Ling Xue or myself, I couldn’t clearly explain it.

So, I wanted to make things clear as I asked with hidden intent, “Ling Yue, isn’t Wang Jun Jie also playing «Spirit of Grief»?  Why aren’t you…...levelling with him?”

Ling Yue was a little startled as her eyes showed a look of injustice.  After a few seconds, she said, “Are you…..willing to level with someone you don’t like?”

I was shocked.  What did this mean?  She was levelling with me since she didn’t like Wang Jun Jie?  Then could I be…….

Seeing my appearance, Ling Yue couldn’t help laughing.  Then she said, “Stop thinking nonsense, the relation between me and Wang Jun Jie isn’t the way you think it is.  Only because I don’t want to disappoint my father, that’s why I’ll work together with Wang Jun Jie to create a company in this game.

I smiled and said, “It really is hard for you…..”

Ling Yue was a little startled as she looked at me while being lost in thought.  After a while, she pouted her lips and said, “Forget it, let’s not talk about this.  Let’s get over there quickly otherwise we’ll be late if we wait too long.  I practiced for quite a while there last night and gained experience really fast!”

“Oh?  Where is this?”

“You’ll know once you get there!”

…...

After half an hour.

Night fell and dew fell down from the trees.

Then after walking forward a bit, a patch of land appeared that was covered in dead plants.  There were faint shrill screams, just like a ghost’s cry.  

I was a bit anxious as I said, “What kind of place is this?”

Ling Yue turned her head and smiled, “The legendary Ghost King Slope!  I was exploring alone out here yesterday and I found this levelling area.  The mobs have very high attack, but the experience given is also very good!”

I smiled and said in my heart: This should be a levelling area that is at the same level as the Savage Wolf Ridge, but since the number one female magician Ling Yue could like this place, it had to be at quite a higher level than the Savage Wolf Ridge!

Looking up, the cold wind blew.  There was a large hill where no plants grew!
