Chapter 143: Master rogue
After logging off, I asked about the balance of my account. Over six hundred thousand, it was quite a lot. So I went looking for Xue Yue Studio’s account and transferred over sixty thousand. That way, I fulfilled my duty as a member of Xue Yue Studios and didn’t leech off Ling Yue.
Opening the Spirit of Grief website, what entered my eyes were the ads for the event this time. There was a golden dragon that looked very life like in the ad, as if it could swallow the world and underneath it were the impressive words “King’s Return”!
The number one player on the level ranking was currently level 56, it wasn’t far from the first player reaching level 60. This King’s Return event was the first time that the players of Spirit of Grief would be competing for dominance. Just Sunset City had so many masters and there were eight of these second grade main cities in the Chinese Server alone. Once players reached level 60, the two big main cities of the Chinese Server would open and players of four second grade main cities would be gathered into one city. There would be fierce battles that would decide the true king of the main city!
As for Xue Yue Studios, I wasn’t that optimistic about our group PK skills. After all, there weren’t many players that this studio could take out. I might be considered one of them, but Ling Yue and Ling Xue could only be considered first grade experts, they weren’t peak experts like Sword Flame Dragon Soul or Sword Flame Ghost Fire. Purple Rhyme was someone from Sword Flame and had good skills, but as a cleric, she couldn’t change much.
Of the other girls in Xue Yue, Bing Cha and Quiet Rain Fall could be considered second grade experts. They could be in the top of Sunset City, but when it came to the main city, they weren’t that good. As for Zi Yue and Summer, they could be ignored since these two girls couldn’t even be considered noobs.
The King’s Return required five people to participate, so Xue Yue’s team should be Ling Xue, Ling Yue, me, and Qin Yun. The remaining spot would either be filled by Bing Cha or Quiet Rain Fall. In fact, logically speaking, I should be participating with Sword Flame’s team. Dragon Soul, Ghost Fire, and Heavenly Punisher were all top grade players and there was a greater chance of winning if I worked with them. It was a pity that I was a sentimental person, so I decided to protect the Xue Yue name with Ling Yue and Ling Xue. If we’re eliminated, we might as well be eliminated together!
……
After browsing the website for a bit, I was finally a bit tired. I went out to take a cold shower. I looked at the clock and found that it was two in the morning, so Ling Xue and Ling Yue should be asleep!
I put on some new clothes after getting back to my room and went out to pour some water. My eyes drifted over to the door of Ling Yue and Ling Xue’s room and thought, those two girls should be asleep, right?
I muttered in my heart, “I don’t know if they forgot to lock their door while sleeping? If they forgot, it would be very dangerous and I have to remind them……Moreover, I have to tell them about leveling at the White Bone Wilderness together tomorrow……”
That’s right, I admitted that I wanted to see the two beautiful twins sleeping and I had given myself a decent reason for it.
So while feeling a bit anxious, I reached my hands out to push the door and it opened. As expected, it wasn’t locked.
The room was lit and Ling Yue and Ling Xue were sitting on the same bed with the same white pyjamas. The two opened their beautiful eyes wide and looked right at me.
It was like I was hit by lightning as I stuttered, “You aren’t sleeping yet?”
“Yes, we’ll sleep in a bit.”
“Then why didn’t you lock your door?”
“Big sister and I aren’t asleep yet, why would we lock the door?” Ling Xue said.
“This, that’s right. When you sleep, remember to lock the door! Also, the studio is leveling together tomorrow, I’ve already found a place to go level at……”
I started to panic as I fled under the doubtful gazes of the two beauties. I returned to my room after knocking over two chairs. My heart was filled with regret as I didn’t know how Ling Xue and Ling Yue saw me after doing this.
Lying on the bed, my heart kept fluctuating.
Then in less than a few minutes, my phone rang. It was a message from Ling Xue, “Big sister and I are sleeping now, do you want to come?”
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “No need, remember to lock the door……”
“Che!”
Ling Xue’s strange “che” made me flustered, so I held my phone as I fell asleep.
……
The next morning.
When I opened my eyes, Ling Xue was standing by my bed.
“Ling Xue, why are you this early!” I was still panicking because of what happened last night.
Ling Xue didn’t care at all as she said with a natural smile, “You lazy pig, you said that we were going to level early in the morning and you slept all the way to nine. Alright, quickly get up and let’s go level! Is the leveling spot you mentioned the White Bone Wilderness?”
I nodded, “How did you know?”
Ling Xue said with a proud smile, “Of course I would know. If you didn’t find the White Bone Wilderness, how could you level up several times in one day? Big sister had the same guess as me, so she got up early with a fresh set of clothes waiting for you to bring us to the White Bone Wilderness, but we never thought that you would sleep this late……”
I said with wide eyes, “Do you need to change clothes to go leveling?”
“I like it, what do you care!” Ling Xuen said with a smile, “Do you want to lie in bed and have this miss change your clothes?”
I blurted out, “You didn’t come last night, but you come now……”
Ling Xue immediately said in an angry voice, “Idiot, what are you saying!”
“Eh…..you heard that?”
“I didn’t hear anything! Humph……”
Ling Xue grabbed a shirt from the rack beside me to throw over and said, “Quickly get up and get some food, big sister and I are waiting outside!”
When I put on everything and came out, Ling Yue was there looking at me like she found this funny.
I quickly cleaned myself up and ate breakfast with the two girls before returning to my room. Bing Cha, Qin Yun, and the others who had been leveling were called back and in less than a few minutes, the eight members of Xue Yue were gathered at the square by the east gate.
With this beautiful scene gathered together, the male players of Sunset City all salivated as they said, “Xue Yue Studio! God, Xue Yue Studio is gathered together!”
Ling Yue said, “Everyone get ready! Bookworm, lead the way!”
I nodded and led everyone out of the town, heading towards the White Bone Wilderness.
Last time the people from Bloodthirsty chased me into the jungle and then I jumped down the very deep cliff to find the entrance of the White Bone Wilderness. Normally, no one would go down there, so I left a marker for that place and I could see the red mark when I opened the map.
When our group reached the marker, we found that there weren’t any players around at all. After confirming again and again, I pointed forward and said, “If you jump down that cliff, you’ll find the White Bone Wilderness in a deep forest. I leveled there all day yesterday, but a person alone without potions can’t go that deep. Now that our studio is here together, we can finish off the entire White Bone Wilderness map!”
Ling Xue nodded before doubtfully saying, “Bookworm, you’re certain that you won’t die from jumping off this cliff?”
I said, “You shouldn’t. It was very safe when I jumped down last time, but if you’re not certain, I will jump first.”
Ling Xue said, “Of course you’re jumping first……”
I went forward and looked down to see the tall cliffs. It really was not a place that a normal person would dare jump down from.
Ling Xue came to my side and said, “How about it, you don’t dare do it?”
I revealed a faint smile and lowered my voice, “How about we jump down together holding hands?”
Ling Xue’s face turned red and she angrily said, “I’m not that dumb! You jump first and then cushion the fall for me!”
“Peng!”
Ling Xue kicked me off without any courtesy. I heard the wind passing by my ears before falling to the ground, landing quite heavily. Although I had thick armour, it still hurt very much.
Then there was the sound of wind above me as Ling Xue jumped down. She fell right on me and used me as a cushion!
Then several beautiful figures also fell down.
I helped Ling Xue up and looked up, as I said in a happy voice, “Such a beautiful scene. I really am lucky, god has finally rained down beauties on me……”
Ling Yue fell and then stood up with her staff. She rubbed her arm and said, “Wu, wu, wu, it really does hurt. A mage’s body really isn’t that good……”
I helped Qin Yun up while Bing Che helped Quiet Rain Fall. Summer feel right on her face and then after standing up, she looked at her chest with a worried look and asked me, “Bookworm, do you think I’m smaller?”
I looked at it and said in a sad voice, “There’s nothing at all……”
“Wu, wu, wu……”
Summer helped Zi Yue out of a tree. Then Ling Yue confirmed that everyone was safe.
I explained, “To get the pass to enter the White Bone Wilderness, we have to kill tigers that don’t have that high levels, but we should take the quest first. Also, once you open the White Bone Wilderness, you’ll be sent out six hours later. Every player only has three chances to enter the White Bone Wilderness in their lives.”
Ling Yue nodded, “Alright! Let’s get started then!”
“Un, let’s take the quest first!”
So I brought the girls to the quest NPC and after spending around an hour killing the tigers, we all finished the quest. We went to get the pass together and then entered the White Bone Wilderness.
With a cold breeze, the White Bone Wilderness looked like a cursed land. Those level 70 Elite Wilderness Wanderers held their bone swords as they wandered around. As expected, after a night apart, the ones that I killed previously had respawned!
Ling Yue looked over and said in a surprised voice, “I can’t see their levels. Bookworm, don’t you have that Star Eyes skill? Let’s see the Elite Monster’s stats!”
I nodded and immediately shared the stats of the Wilderness Wanderers in the party chat.
[Wilderness Wanderer] (Elite Monster)
Level: 70
Attack: 680-820
Defense: 400
HP: 25000
Attack type: Soul poison
Additional: The wanderers in this wasteland are the souls of the elite soldiers of the human alliance, turning these bones into undead puppets. The only thing they remember is how to slaughter.
……
Ling Yue was a bit surprised before saying with a smile, “Such high attack power, but their HP is a bit low.”
I said, “Their attacks are high, I can’t even defend against it with my defense. They deal around six to seven hundred damage to me each time. Ling Xue should be a bit better, but it won’t be that much better.”
Ling Xue said with a smile, “My defense isn’t that much higher than yours in the first place~”
Qin Yun looked at the skeletons wandering around and said, “With all these Elite Monsters, it should take us around two hours to kill them all! Everyone, let’s hurry up!”
So I fired an arrow to pull in the monsters before changing to the Roaring Flame Spear to charge forward with Ling Xue and Bing Cha. Ling Yue and Quiet Rain Fall dealt damage from afar while Qin Yun healed the team. Zi Yue held her dagger in the void, dealing damage from time to time while Summer kept kiting the monsters.
Like this, the monster that I could easily handle alone was ganged up by a group and lost all its HP in a few minutes. Undead monsters already had low HP and this Elite Monster wasn’t an exception.
Seeing this, everyone became more bold and we started pulling two or three Elite Monsters in together. It wasn’t that hard, but there were some occasional dangerous situations that made one break out in cold sweat. Among them, Zi Yue’s skills made one speechless.
Once again, Zi Yue finished off a skeleton and I couldn’t help saying, “Zi Yue, do you not know how to position yourself? You should leave the monster’s attack range after hitting it! An assassin can’t stay in close range with a monster with a high attack like this!”
Zi Yue said with an innocent look, “But Bookworm, you know that I’m a noob and no one taught me about this before……”
My expression froze. Bing Cha looked at me with a meaningful look and said with a smile, “Since it’s like this, Bookworm, how about a hidden expert like you teach Zi Yue a few moves?”
I was surprised, “Me? I’m not an expert……”
Bing Cha revealed a faint smile, neither agreeing or disagreeing with this, “Stop feigning ignorance, you are if I say you are. Moreover, weren’t you one of the top rogues in the past?”
My heart sunk. How did Bing Cha know about this? Could it be that you already knew what I did before?
Seeing Bing Cha’s mysterious look, Ling Xue and Ling Yue were immediately interested in this and asked, “What is with Bookworm? Bing Cha, what do you know?”
I was very worried. Once it was known that I was the number one rogue in the Chinese Server’s northern main city in Moon Monochrome’s last game five years ago, the girls in Xue Yue Studio might think that I cheated them and might even kick me out in their anger!
But Bing Cha looked at me with a smile and said, “I don’t know, I just feel that Bookworm should be an expert. The rogues are like assassins, so Bookworm should be able to teach Zi Yue some things……”
Ling Xue and Ling Yue’s beautiful eyes looked at me and I couldn’t help feel a chill run down my spine.
